Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan

When the jade bottle appeared, all the dragons present felt an oppressive force deep within their bloodline.

Even Ao Li and Ao Mu felt a strong desire to seize it recklessly.

Fortunately, their Taoist hearts stayed strong, and they suppressed their inner desires, looking horrifiedly at the jade bottle in Ye Fan’s hands.

What artifact could elicit such inner desire?

Needless to say, this artifact was profoundly important to the Dragon Clan.

“Five drops of ancient Azure Dragon’s Golden Immortal blood essence as a congratulatory gift!”

Ye Fan’s words hadn’t yet faded, and all the dragons on the scene stood motionless in shock.

Ancient Azure Dragon blood essence – five drops no less!

The North Sea Dragon Clan has higher-level treasures, but none would be more fitting for the Dragon Clan than these.

After a while, Ao Mu finally relaxed slightly and solemnly said to Ye Fan, “Many thanks, Clan Leader Ye.”

“The North Sea Dragon Clan owes you a favor.”

Ao Mu’s words were sincere.

The favor of the North Sea Dragon Clan was indeed valuable.

After some pleasantries, they were led deep into the North Sea Dragon Clan.

Soon, Ye Fan saw Ye Jinsen’s Little Red Dragon and his own grandson, Ye XingLong.

Ye XingLong stared shyly at Ye Fan. His deep-rooted familial bonds made him want to approach the man before him, but embarrassment held him back.

“Come here, let grandpa hug you!”

Ye Fan waved towards Ye XingLong.

“Go on, this is your grandpa; you’ve always said you wanted to meet him, haven’t you?”

Ye Jinsen encouraged Ye XingLong with a smile.

Finally, Ye XingLong mustered his courage and immediately leapt into Ye Fan’s arms.

Ye Fan laughed heartily, picking up Ye XingLong in his arms.

Even though Ye XingLong was half-dragon, he was still a member of the Ye Family to Ye Fan.

“Grandpa owes you an apology for not visiting you since you were born.”

“I brought you a gift, do you want it?”

Ye Fan affectionately spoke to Ye XingLong.

Ye XingLong, who had grown familiar with him, no longer remained shy. Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words, he immediately excitedly said, “Yes!”

Ye Fan moved his hand, and a magical weapon appeared in his palm.

An Immortal Artifact of paramount grade, the Twenty-Four Sea-Suppressing Beads.

Everyone knew the gift Ye Fan would present wouldn’t be ordinary, but when they saw the Twenty-Four Sea-Suppressing Beads, it was inevitable that they were shocked.

A set of Immortal Artifacts of paramount grade was far more valuable than ordinary ones.

Even though they weren’t as valuable as a Taoist artifact, they were among the top-tier in the realm of Immortal Artifacts.

“Thank you, grandpa!”

As for Ye XingLong, he was greatly fond of the gift Ye Fan presented. After slobbering over Ye Fan’s face, his attention was completely absorbed by the Twenty-Four Sea-Suppressing Beads, constantly fiddling with them.

Ye XingLong was only in the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Even if he had a Taoist artifact, he would not be able to use it.

The paramount-grade Immortal Artifact was the most suitable for him.

While Ye XingLong ran off to one side to refine the magical weapon, Ao Li and the others watched, their eyes full of envy.

Having such a powerful and wealthy grandfather was a tremendous blessing!

Even Ao Li, the Clan Leader of the noble North Sea Dragon Clan, was envious. The Immortal Artifacts he used couldn’t compare to what Ye XingLong had!

But with this Immortal Artifact, Ye XingLong would have a greater chance of overcoming the challenges he would face in the upcoming Dragon Son Grand Ceremony.

Ao Li had previously been concerned about challenges from the other Three Seas Dragon Clans during the Dragon Son Grand Ceremony. But now, there was no need for worry.

With Ye Fan’s presence and Ao Mu’s support, the other Three Seas Dragon Clans were hardly a threat.

Time passed, and the auspicious time for the Dragon Son Grand Ceremony was about to arrive.

“The Clan Leader of the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan and his Dragon Son have arrived! They’ve brought ten thousand-year-old Dragon Balls and a top-grade Immortal Spiritual Root from the Immortal Realm as congratulatory gifts…”

“The Clan Leader of the West Sea Dragon Clan and his Dragon Son have arrived!…”

The voice of the Turtle Prime Minister resonated throughout the entire North Sea Dragon Clan, announcing the start of the Dragon Son Grand Ceremony.

Almost all of the major forces that received the invitation showed up.

Although the North Sea Dragon Clan had declined a bit over the years, they weren’t a force to be trifled with.

The other Three Seas Dragon Clans did not cause trouble at this time, either.

At least on the surface, the relationship among the Four Sea Dragon Clans still needed to be maintained.

“Clan Leader Ye, I will go greet our guests first!”

As the Clan Leaders of the Three Seas Dragon Clans had arrived, Ao Li naturally needed to greet them personally.

Ye Fan nodded, unworried.

The Three Seas Dragon Clans!

Ye Fan’s gaze penetrated through the seabed, and he soon saw the members of the Three Seas Dragon Clans.

The Clan Leaders of the Four Sea Dragon Clans were all at the Golden Immortal Realm.

The Dragon Sons they brought had also reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Considering their age of two to three thousand years, which was roughly equivalent to a mere ten or so years old for ordinary people, there was no denying that talent was plentiful in the Dragon Clan.

It wasn’t an empty saying that opulence breeds genius.

The Heavenly Immortals of the Eastern Continent were almost all over ten thousand years old.

Owing to Ye XingLong’s rise, the Red Dragon Clan, who were responsible for this Dragon Son Grand Ceremony, benefited greatly.

Originally, among the many colorful Dragon Clans of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, the Red Dragon Clan was relatively backward.

But after Ye XingLong’s rise to prominence, the Red Dragon Clan also reaped several benefits, propelling them to new heights.

Little Red Dragon, who had already broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, had become the leader of the Red Dragon Clan.

“The Dragon Son Grand Ceremony officially begins. Please welcome our Ancestral Dragon.”

Everyone’s gaze was set on the massive statue in the center of the arena.

This statue was the Dragon Clan’s Ancestral Dragon, and the world’s first dragon.

The Dragon Clan’s Bloodline ranks ranged from ordinary Bloodline, Xian Vein, Ancient Bloodline, Primordial Bloodline, to the legendary Five-clawed Golden Dragon, the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline.

Primordial and Ancestral Dragon Bloodlines had disappeared for countless years.

That’s why Ye XingLong’s Ancient Dragon Bloodline was valued highly by the North Sea Dragon Clan.

Ye XingLong was led by Ye Jinsen before the Ancestral Dragon statue. Tapping his finger slightly, he forced a drop of Dragon Blood to appear.

Hovering his fingertip in mid-air, the blood slowly flew toward the Ancestral Dragon statue.

The Dragon Son needed the approval of the Ancestral Dragon statue.

In this way, he could receive the protection of the Ancestral Dragon’s fate.

Both his cultivation speed and future prospects would greatly increase.

This is why every Dragon Clan member took the selection of the Dragon Son very seriously.

A Dragon Son was not merely the most talented member of a Dragon Clan, he also bore the responsibility of communicating with the Ancestral Dragon.

Even though the Ancestral Dragon had not appeared for a long time, all of the Dragon Clan firmly believed that the Ancestral Dragon had not disappeared. They believed there were other reasons that kept the Ancestral Dragon away, and that it would return someday.

All attention was focused on the Ancestral Dragon statue.

Even people from the other Three Seas Dragon Clans stared fixedly at the Ancestral Dragon statue.

They were very curious about Ye XingLong, who was suddenly established as a Dragon Son by the North Sea Dragon Clan. They wanted to see how strong his talents were.

The North Sea Dragon Clan hid information about Ye XingLong very well. Even the other Three Seas Dragon Clans did not know much about Ye XingLong’s talents.
