Cultivation Online Chapter 359: Rivals

Chapter 359: Rivals

While Xi Meili went to prepare their rooms, the Dragon Emperor remained in the room with them and spoke, Yuan, if you have any questions for me, now is the best time.

Now that you mention it, I have had something on my mind ever since I saw the Dragon Ancestor. Just who is the Dragon Ancestor? And is he related to the Great One? Yuan asked.

The Dragon Emperor immediately frowned upon hearing Yuan mention the Great One, and he spoke in a serious voice, Where... Where did you hear about the Great One?

Oh, I met him a few times well, not actually in person, but I have spoken with his illusions a couple of times, Yuan said.

I see...

The Dragon Emperor closed his eyes for a moment before speaking, The Dragon Ancestor and the Great One are not related at all. The Dragon Ancestor is an incredibly powerful Divine Beast who has existed since the primordial era with multiple empires across the Nine Heavens, and this Ancient Dragon City is merely one of them. As for the Great One, he was born in the same era as the Dragon Ancestor, and they were rivals of sorts, both racing to the peak.

Rivals, huh... Do you know who won? Yuan asked.

Sorry, but I cant tell you, as I dont have the answer to your question. According to the rumors, they were both equally as talented, so who knows, really.

I see... Yuan mumbled.

Then do you know where I can find the Great One?

Unfortunately, the Great One isnt someone you can just find. You must have a strong destiny if you want to find him, and even then, you dont know when or where youll find him. The Dragon Emperor said.

And from my knowledge, the Great One is always traveling the Nine Heavens.

I see... Yuan nodded.

By the way, I have been wondering as well... What was the Dragon Ancestor talking about? They had anticipated your arrival and even expected that youd release all 9 pillars of light. It seemed like they had arranged for everything that happened today.

Honestly, I also have no idea. This is my first time in this place, and I have never met any dragons besides the Great One before coming here. Yuan shrugged.

How weird... The Dragon Emperor mumbled. The Dragon Ancestor definitely expected Yuans arrival, even speaking to him as though he was very familiar with Yuan. Of course, it was only a recording, but something felt odd about this situation.

Sometime later, Xi Meili returned and said, Your rooms are prepared. Can you guys walk now?

Yes, I can. Thank you. Yuan nodded as he stood up from his chair, feeling as though hed gained some weight overall.

Thus, Yuan and Wang Xiuying followed Xi Meili to their rooms.

Wow, what a massive room. I have never been to such a luxurious room before, and I have been to many high-grade hotels because of my grandpa! Wang Xiuying exclaimed.

As the granddaughter of one of the most famous doctors in the world, it was only natural that Wang Xiuying would have plenty of experience as a rich young lady.

However, no hotel in their world could rival a mere guest room in the Dragon Palace that was as spacious as an entire house.

Yuan, your room is right next door. Xi Meili said to him.

Okay. Thank you.

Ill leave you two alone to rest now. Tomorrow, I will show you guys around the city, okay?

That sounds great. Yuan nodded.

Great. Then goodnight! Xi Meili said to them before leaving and returning to her own room.

This is such a wonderful room that Im going to sleep in here tonight instead of my own room! Wang Xiuying declared with an excited look on her face.

What happened to sleeping every day? Yuan said with a teasing smile on his face.

S-Shut it! Once in a while is fine! And I am still technically sleeping! Its just that Ill be doing it inside the game! She quickly refuted, her face slightly rosy.

Then Ill see you later. Goodnight. Yuan said to her before going to his own room.

Goodnight, Yuan.

A few moments later, Yuan entered his own room and looked around, paying the most attention to the ancient-looking furniture.

After spending many minutes looking around the place, Yuan jumped onto the large bed that could easily fit an entire family of four.

Wow, what a comfortable bed. I have never experienced anything like this before... Yuan felt as though he was sleeping on clouds when he laid on the bed.

Sometime later, he retrieved the Dragon Ancestors Blood Essence and stared at it silently.

I really want to consume this right now, but its probably better to wait until I return to Feng Fengs side so I can ask for advice. I cant be so hasty with such a priceless treasure, after all.

With that in mind, Yuan stored the dragon blood back into the Dragon Spatial Ring.

Yuan logged off the game shortly after for dinner.

Yuan, something happened outside the Mystic Realm today, Meixiu said to him as she fed him dinner.

What happened?

A pillar of light shot out of the Mystic Realm, she said.

Eh? Really? What caused this pillar of light? Yuan was unaware that the pillar of light was created by the teleport formation.

Nobody knows. However, the pillar of light came from the Mystic Pagoda, so something probably happened there, she then said.

Hm? Mystic Pagoda? Yuan suddenly realized something.

I think I know why... He then said.

Really? What caused it?

This is going to be a little long, so Ill tell you after dinner, Yuan said.

Okay.

After feeding Yuan dinner and cleaning the mess, she returned to his room for his long story.

Lets see... where should I begin?

After pondering for a moment, Yuan began recalling what hed experienced in the Mystic Realm today, starting from how he entered the Mystic Pagoda with Wang Xiuying before being teleported to this weird place where only dragons lived.
