In the silence, a Grand Dragon sighed as he explained, “Shi Liu, we can’t help it. The power of the Dragon Pool above has been depleted, so there was no way for us to cultivate.”
Fu Shi Liu shouted angrily, “So you came down here to rob from me?”
Another Grand Dragon said, “That has been the rule of the Dragon Pool since ancient times, what do you have to complain about?”
Fu Shi Liu glared viciously at the Grand Dragon who spoke second. He really could not complain when his other clansmen were competing for his territory; however, they came as a group to fight him for his territory, which was why he was so angry.
There was no point in dwelling on this subject now, though, as the Dragon Pool power in Fu Shi Liu’s territory had almost been depleted as well.
Suppressing his anger, Fu Shi Liu looked down into the depths of the Dragon Pool and asked, “Did something change down there? Why is the power of the Dragon Pool so weak this time?”
A Grand Dragon replied, “If you carefully sense what is happening below, there seems to be some kind of force that is drawing in and devouring the power of the Dragon Pool at an incredible rate. That’s why our positions were affected. If I’m right, it should be because of ‘that’ Senior down there.”
Upon hearing this, the other Grand Dragons seemed enlightened.
Another Grand Dragon nodded and said, “Yes, if it’s really due to him, then it explains the changes in the power of the Dragon Pool. If he is trying to achieve a breakthrough, then he will certainly need a lot of power.”
“Then what do we do? We won’t know how long he will take to break through. We can’t just wait here and do nothing!”
“Naturally, we cannot wait here. Since there is no more Dragon Pool power up here, then we should continue down. As long as we’re careful not to interfere with him, we should be fine.”
All the Grand Dragons nodded in agreement while the three Young Dragons were confused.
Zhu Wu You came up to Big Brother Ji and whispered, “What are they talking about? Who is the one down below?”
Big Brother Ji replied, “How would I know?”
Zhu Wu You was surprised and exclaimed, “Not even you know?”
A nearby Grand Dragon glanced over and coldly snorted, “Three Brats, don’t be so curious. You will know when it is time for you to know.”
As they were talking, the other Grand Dragons already began to swim downward while the Grand Dragon who spoke to Zhu Wu You immediately shouted, “Keep up, all of you. This is a rare opportunity. Normally it would be impossible for you little ones to visit the depths that we’re going to.”
Zhu Wu You immediately flicked his tail and followed.
He also did not expect the situation to go this far. Initially, he went to Fu Qian’s territory to fight for benefits. Now, half a year later, this team has expanded to include all three Young Dragons and seven Grand Dragons.
There had never been a time when the situation in the Dragon Pool was like this.
What Zhu Wu You was more curious about was who the Grand Dragons were referring to; unfortunately, the Grand Dragons would not tell him anything and he could not do anything about it.
After a long journey, they encountered two more Grand Dragons, but no fights broke out because they also felt that something was abnormal in the depths below.
After explaining the situation, the group expanded again.
Now there were three Young Dragons and nine Grand Dragons descending to the depths of the Dragon Pool. Except for the strongest Ji Lao San, the rest of the Young Dragons and Grand Dragons were all gathered together.
Soon, the group arrived at Ji Lao San’s territory.
The leading Grand Dragon took a look from afar and stopped the clansmen behind him.
The other Grand Dragons were puzzled, looked towards Ji Lao San and also sensed something.
Only the three Young Dragons were completely confused and did not understand why everyone had stopped. The isolation power in the Dragon Pool was too strong at this depth, and they were too weak to detect the situation Ji Lao San was in.
Zhu Wu You was blunt, impatient, and spoke without thinking twice, so he swam towards the lead Grand Dragon and asked softly, “Uncle Shi Liu, what is the situation down there?”
Fu Shi Liu glanced at him, wanting to ignore this cheeky brat, but he soon realized that Zhu Wu You would just keep pestering him if his curiosity was not satisfied, so he reluctantly explained, “He’s about to break through.”
Zhu Wu You was surprised and exclaimed, “Third Uncle is about to achieve a breakthrough just half a year after entering the Dragon Pool?”
Fu Shi Liu replied, “Your Third Uncle was just one step away from becoming an Ancient Dragon. Furthermore, his Source is not bad. There is nothing strange about taking only half a year to achieve a breakthrough. In fact… this can already be considered slow. Previously, we all believed that he would only need three months to break through.”
The reason for the delay must be that the Dragon Pool power had become thinner, causing Ji Lao San to take a few more months to accumulate enough.
Big Brother Ji asked with great concern, “Uncle Shi Liu, now that the Dragon Pool power is so weak, will Third Uncle be affected?”
Fu Shi Liu replied, “Of course he will be impacted if he does not accumulate enough power. Now that he has accumulated enough though, his Bloodline is undergoing a transformation and the need for external power is not as great. Thus, the depletion of the Dragon Pool power will not interfere with his breakthrough.”
Big Brother Ji heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
There would be trouble if Ji Lao San’s breakthrough failed. However, it appeared that the weakened power of the Dragon Pool had no impact on his Third Uncle, which meant that the latter’s breakthrough was a certainty. Henceforth, the Dragon Clan would have another Ancient Dragon.
They were able to sense that Ji Lao San was at a critical moment of breakthrough; thus, the Dragon Clan team stopped so as not to disturb him.
As Ji Lao San was about to achieve a breakthrough, Yang Kai was also happy in the deeper parts of the Dragon Pool.
He felt that his Dragon Vein was undergoing some amazing changes, and his Bloodline had become purer and more condensed.
He was not afraid of the changes to his body and more afraid that nothing would change since that would mean that all his efforts had been in vain.
The pain was intense and Yang Kai grunted repeatedly, but it was mixed with joy and excitement.
Then suddenly, Yang Kai’s entire body was invigorated and he felt as if he had broken through some kind of shackle, allowing his Dragon Vein and Bloodline to suddenly rise to a higher realm.
His skin cracked and his Dragon Scales that were trembling began to shed.
This sudden change caught Yang Kai off guard. Dragon Scales could be said to be a Dragon’s strongest protection. With his current length of 50,000 metres, even if he took a direct blow from a Seventh-Order Open Heaven Master, his Dragon Scales might not fall off.
But now, a few had actually shed on their own.
