On this day, not only did the entire Enlightenment Stone Stele Forest tremble, but the entire Great Luo Sacred Sect was also shaken by a sudden surge of dragon might.
Tens of thousands of disciples of the Great Luo Sacred Sect looked up to the sky and witnessed an unforgettable scene—a colossal dragon spanning across the sky above the sect, so immense that its head was visible, but its tail was not!
The True Dragon stood proudly in the sky, overlooking the world below, its overwhelming dragon might enveloping the entire Great Luo Sacred Sect!
Boom!
The sect's protective formation activated, triggered by the dragon might, as if anticipating a formidable enemy's attack.
"What is happening?"
Disciples from the seven peaks wore puzzled expressions. Most of them could discern that this True Dragon was merely a phantom, not an actual enemy attack. Their concern now was who had triggered this giant dragon phantom.
"It came from the direction of Reflection Cliff. Could it be that stele containing the Dragon Clan Technique?"
On Ling Shou Peak, He Hong's gaze was filled with suspicion, a sense of foreboding in his heart. "Could it be Lin Xiao? That's impossible. That stele containing the Dragon Clan Technique has stood there for countless years. How could Lin Xiao, with his comprehension and aptitude, possibly achieve this?"
He Hong felt he was going mad, even considering linking this event to Lin Xiao.
On Fuyao Peak, a group of people cheered, believing that the dragon phantom was caused by Yun Mengxi.
Yun Mengxi had long yearned for that Dragon Clan Technique, frequently visiting the Enlightenment Stone Stele Forest at Reflection Cliff. Now, Yun Mengxi should still be there, and it was likely that she had succeeded in her comprehension.
"Wonderful! If Senior Sister has obtained that Dragon Clan Technique, her strength and realm will surely advance to a higher level. The position of Holy Maiden will finally belong to someone from Fuyao Peak."
While the disciples of Fuyao Peak were celebrating, a woman in a light purple dress emerged from the peak's summit. Her skin was as smooth as sheep-fat jade, flawless and delicate, appearing to be in her twenties—yet another woman whose beauty was untouched by time.
This woman was Yun Mengxi's master, Nangong Muxue, the peak master of Fuyao Peak.

"It wasn't Mengxi..." Nangong Muxue spoke softly, her gaze traversing the distance to Zixiao Peak.
On Zixiao Peak, Luo Yusu also stepped out of the Purple Extreme Hall. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes as bright as stars, exuding an ethereal and pure aura. Her straight nose and naturally red lips complemented her cascading hair, which flowed with the wind, making her appear like the Nine Heavens Maiden descending to the mortal realm—an ethereal beauty.
"You've taken on two excellent disciples, Senior Sister," Nangong Muxue's voice echoed.
Luo Yusu smiled faintly, a smile that seemed to drain the color from the world around her. She replied, "Your Yun Mengxi isn't bad either."
Luo Yusu's divine sense swept over Reflection Cliff, seeing Yun Mengxi there as well. However, the one who succeeded in comprehension was not Yun Mengxi, but her disciple, Lin Xiao.
Seeing Lin Xiao, Luo Yusu gently bit her lip, the coldness on her face softening considerably.
"Fortunately, he's not a female disciple. If Zixiao Peak produced another genius like Zhou Wenqing, the position of Holy Maiden would surely go to your peak," Nangong Muxue's words seemed to be a form of self-consolation.
Luo Yusu retracted her divine sense. By now, the dragon phantom hovering above the Great Luo Sacred Sect had dissipated, but the hearts of tens of thousands of disciples remained restless as they frantically sought information. Soon, Lin Xiao's name would resound throughout the sect.
After a while, He Hong received the news that the one who caused the commotion was indeed Lin Xiao!
"How is that possible?"
He Hong was incredulous.
"Lin Xiao? The one who killed four of our Outer Disciples from Ling Shou Peak?"
The disciples of Ling Shou Peak were not unfamiliar with Lin Xiao's name, as the incident three days ago was still fresh in their minds.
"That's him. Relying on his status as a True Disciple of Master Luo, he killed them and was only confined for a month. He has no regard for our Ling Shou Peak!" An Inner Disciple from Ling Shou Peak spoke angrily.
"Don't rush. I've heard that Lin Xiao will be participating in the Asura Trial in a month. There will be plenty of opportunities then!" He Hong signaled everyone to be patient, his heart beginning to stir with excitement at the thought of the upcoming Asura Trial.
"Before killing Lin Xiao, we must make him reveal that Dragon Clan Technique." He Hong now felt grateful to the four deceased junior brothers. If not for them, Lin Xiao wouldn't have been confined to Reflection Cliff, nor would he have obtained that Dragon Clan Technique.
When the Asura Trial arrives in a month, He Hong will have plenty of means to make Lin Xiao hand over that Dragon Clan Technique!
Lin Xiao could anticipate the commotion outside. With such a grand spectacle, it was hard for him not to become famous.
However, he couldn't be bothered with that now. His priority was to secure the Dragon Clan Technique.
Perhaps, as Yun Mengxi had said, this Dragon Clan Technique would be useful to him. He possessed the power of a Flood Dragon and lacked a corresponding technique for cultivation.
After the dragon phantom dissipated, all the light it transformed into entered Lin Xiao's body.
Lin Xiao sat cross-legged, gradually digesting the influx of information.
"Ancient Ancestral Dragon Art!"
Lin Xiao shouted inwardly, clenching his fists tightly. This Dragon Clan Technique was even more precious than Yun Mengxi had described. It might not just be a Saint-grade technique, but an Emperor-level technique!
An Emperor-level technique, the highest-grade cultivation method in this world, capable of reaching the Great Emperor Realm!
The library of the Great Luo Sacred Sect had no Emperor-level techniques. Not only the Great Luo Sacred Sect, but even the Three Great Demon Sects and Three Great Sacred Sects of the Cangli Continent might not possess an Emperor-level technique!
If word got out, it would surely incite a scramble from all sides.
"The Ancient Ancestral Dragon Art consists of ten levels. Each level grants a transformation of the body, and upon reaching the tenth level, one becomes an Eternal True Dragon, transcending the world and reigning supreme over all life!"
Lin Xiao's excitement was beyond words. This was truly an Emperor-level technique, containing the secrets of transforming into a True Dragon.
As Lin Xiao absorbed the information, time flew by, and many people came to investigate Reflection Cliff.
Yun Mengxi sat not far behind Lin Xiao, and anyone who dared to approach and disturb him received a cold glare from her.
After Yun Mengxi's warning, no one dared to disturb Lin Xiao.
"Strange, how did Lin Xiao get acquainted with Yun Mengxi? Isn't his Senior Sister a sworn enemy of Yun Mengxi?" A True Disciple familiar with Yun Mengxi wondered.
Another half-day passed, and Lin Xiao finally finished absorbing the Ancient Ancestral Dragon Art. The technique contained over ten thousand scriptures, and he couldn't comprehend them all at once; it would require gradual understanding over time.
"Junior Brother Lin, how are you?" Seeing Lin Xiao open his eyes, Yun Mengxi hurriedly asked with concern, not even realizing how gentle her voice had become.
"Uh... Senior Sister Yun hasn't left yet?" Lin Xiao felt a chill at being addressed as Junior Brother.
"I've been protecting you for the past two days. Without me, who knows how many people would have disturbed you," Yun Mengxi said, as if seeking credit.
Lin Xiao remained unmoved. "Thank you, Senior Sister Yun."
"Junior Brother Lin, did you obtain that Dragon Clan Technique? Can you understand it? If not, I can help you comprehend it together," Yun Mengxi offered, feeling a bit ashamed. For the sake of that Dragon Clan Technique, she had truly lowered her stance.
"No need. I can consult my master or my Senior Sister for help. If there's nothing else, Senior Sister Yun can return," Lin Xiao said, indifferent to Yun Mengxi's goodwill.
"You!" Yun Mengxi was so frustrated by Lin Xiao's indifference that her chest heaved, creating a spectacular scene.
