Chapter 394: The Dragon Clan ascends the tower
The Green Dragon’s side didn’t cause trouble, and the White Dragon didn’t say anything either.
The matter was temporarily put on hold.
All the Dragon Clan’s higher-ups were immersed in the excitement of obtaining the Demon Smelt Tower.
“It is truly the Demon Smelt Tower.”
After a few more old dragons entered the Demon Smelt Tower after the juniors were kicked out, they confirmed that the Demon Smelt Tower was real.
“Since that’s the case, the matter of the Demon Smelt Tower must be kept a secret so that we can nurture our Dragon Clan’s prodigies. Next, everyone should talk about how to keep it a secret!” the Five-clawed Golden Dragon said.
This thing was a great killing weapon.
No, it was the Demon Clan’s sea-pacifying divine needle.
With this thing, the Demon Clans would be able to live forever.
If a certain Demon Clan possessed the Demon Smelt Tower, this would be a sign of the Demon Clan’s rise.
And if a major faction obtained this thing, needless to say, the faction would naturally rise to another level.
The Dragon Clan was naturally unwilling to share such a thing.
They were even more unwilling to cause a commotion in the world.
Not to mention that the Dragon Clan had an opponent within the Demon Clans, even if they didn’t, they were also unwilling to do so.
One could imagine the result of the Roc Clan finding out that the Demon Smelt Tower was in the hands of the Dragon Clan.
The first step was to demand it from them, and they would even bring the Demon Clans along to make a ruckus.
If they handed it over, the Dragon Clan would lose the Demon Smelt Tower.
If they didn’t hand it over, they would become enemies with all the Demon Clans. And the Roc Clan wouldn’t let go of the opportunity to attack the Dragon Clan.
After handing it over, it would be very difficult for the Dragon Clan to train their prodigies in there for a long time.
The most important thing was that the Demon Smelt Tower came out by itself and land in their territory. If they handed it over just like that, they would be letting their clan down.
Keeping it a secret was especially important.
“Hide the Demon Smelt Tower and then select the disciples of the clan who have not entered the Demon Smelt Tower to enter for the trial. Before the trial, n.o.body should mention anything about it. After the trial, they will be warned again.”
As long as they did not reveal that this was the Demon Smelt Tower, and did not allow others to say anything about the trial, then it could be kept a secret.
“What about those who have entered the Demon Smelt Tower? A prodigy like Ao Zheng still needs to be nurtured.”
“For Ao Zheng and the others who have entered the Demon Smelt Tower, let’s bring them out separately. Say that this was made by the Ancestor which imitates the Demon Smelt Tower. At the same time, we need to monitor their speech.”
“There are a total of more than 200 dragons among all the prodigies in the clan. We can completely monitor all of them. We’ll put them in the Forbidden Grounds so that they could go back and forth in the Demon Smelt Tower. If they don’t leave the Forbidden Grounds, all the secrets will remain in the Forbidden Grounds,” the Green Dragon said.
After he spoke, he brought all the prodigies of the Dragon Clan, including the Blood Dragon’s side.
“I’m afraid…”
The White Dragon stood up to object.
However, before he could finish his words, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon interrupted, “Hmm, let’s leave it at that!”
Then, he shook his head at the White Dragon.
Both sides of the Dragon Clan quickly entered into a discussion on the confidential matter of the Demon Smelt Tower.
At the same time, they began to allocate the quotas to enter the Demon Smelt Tower.
After the discussion, the Elders of the Dragon Clan went down to enforce confidentiality.
“Patriarch, why?”
The White Dragon did not understand.
“If they become stronger, it would benefit our Dragon Clan.”
“Patriarch, we are too weak,” the Winged Rain Dragon complained angrily.
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon was good at everything, but it felt like its personality was soft.
“We also have to be more magnanimous. We have to have a bigger structure. Everything is for the sake of the Dragon Clan.”
The White Dragon shook its head.
They leaned towards the Five-clawed Golden Dragon precisely because of its way of doing things.
Magnanimous, public-minded, and considered all aspects.
On the other hand, the Blood Dragon’s side only knew how to fight, expand their influence, and eliminate their opponents.
They fought fiercely with the Roc Clan and took the initiative to attack the Xuantian Sect. They did not even consider whether the Dragon Clan had the superfluous ability to attack the Roc Clan and the Xuantian Sect at the same time.
The prodigy of the Blood Dragon from last time, the next successor of the Dragon Clan leader, failed to attack the Xuantian Sect and was killed by the Roc Clan on the way back.
The Blood Dragon’s clan suffered heavy losses.
After that, the Patriarch of the Blood Dragon’s clan wanted to exact revenge. In the end, he was held back by the other dragons and the prestige of the Blood Dragon’s clan was weakened.
It could be said that the failure of the Blood Dragon gave the Five-clawed Golden Dragon a chance to ascend peacefully.
The White Dragon and Winged Rain Dragon were very impressed with the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
“My Winged Rain Dragon clan will always be your sharp claws. You can kill whoever you want.”
“Stop saying such nonsense. Choose your disciples and prepare to ascend the tower! The sooner you ascend the tower, the sooner you will realize your shortcomings. Go!”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon dismissed all the old dragons around him and left.
He sighed and entered the Demon Smelt Tower.
“I guess the Blood Dragons are scolding me now!”
On the first level of the Demon Smelt Tower, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon muttered and shattered the demonic shadow that pounced at him. Then, he appeared on the second level.
“I’ve always heard of the Demon Smelt Tower. In the six thousand years I’ve been cultivating, the Demon Smelt Tower has appeared four times in total. Two times, it appeared while I was in closed-door cultivation. The other time, it appeared in a dangerous place. Another time, it appeared in a place too remote for me to make it in time. The last time, the tedious matters of climbing the tower were no longer of any use to me.”
He had never climbed the Demon Smelt Tower in his entire life.
“I wonder how many other powerful Demon Clans in this world are like us, missing the opportunity to climb the tower time and time again. After that, they still managed to make a name for themselves in this world. Therefore, the stone tablet of the Demon Smelt Tower is just a joke.”
Whoos.h.!.+
In the blink of an eye, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon appeared on the 5th floor of the Demon Smelt Tower.
“Today, I want to see how far apart I am from the prodigy.”
After saying this, the 10th floor of the Demon Smelt Tower lit up.
Two days later, the 20th floor of the Demon Smelt Tower lit up. The other Elders gathered the ancestral prodigies and brought them out of the Forbidden Grounds to cultivate.
A few days pa.s.sed.
A few elders a.s.sessed these prodigies and divided them into levels.
The first batch received the first batch of spots to enter the Demon Smelt Tower, and it was three consecutive chances.
The second batch received two chances.
The third batch received one chance.
The prodigies of each clan relied on their own abilities to obtain experience opportunities.
If this batch of people obtained anything from the Demon Smelt Tower or displayed the potential of a prodigy, then the next batch would have three chances to ascend the tower.
After one month of continuous a.s.sessment, the overall score would be on the same level.
The square outside the Forbidden Grounds was filled with all kinds of Dragon Clan prodigies.
“The second a.s.sessment will be held next. The Ancestor imitated the Demon Smelt Tower to create a training ground. Everyone, please go up!”
On the stone steps of the Forbidden Grounds, the White Dragon swept his gaze across the group of Dragon Clan prodigies before his gaze landed on the Blood Dragon’s side.
Hehe.
Even without their suppression, the Blood Dragon’s clan only had a few dozen prodigies.
After saying that, he led a group of Dragon Clan prodigies toward the direction of the Demon Smelt Tower.
“Eh, the 57th floor of the Demon Smelt Tower has lit up. Who’s on it?”
After approaching the Demon Smelt Tower, the White Dragon noticed the light on the tower and was stunned for a moment.
At present, Ao Zheng, the most talented prodigy of the Dragon Clan, was only on the 53rd floor.
Other Dragon Clan prodigy would not be able to go up either.
So it was the elders of the clan?
After looking around, they found that the elders of the clan were all present.
Shua!
The 57th floor of the tower lit up.
“Eh? When did such a powerful prodigy appear in the Dragon Clan?”
The other Dragon Clan experts rushed over and looked at each other.
They found that everyone was present.
“Could it be the Patriarch?”
“Would he have the leisure to go up the tower? With this time, he has already spent it in cultivation.”
“It’s better to arrange for the other Dragon Clan disciples to climb the tower!”
The first batch of Dragon Clan disciples had already been brought over, and they entered the tower one by one according to the White Dragon’s instructions.
Then, the first and second floors of the Dragon Tower quickly lit up.
As time pa.s.sed, the entire 20th floor of the Dragon Tower lit up.
At this time, three days had already pa.s.sed.
“They haven’t been kicked out yet. This first batch is still going strong!”
“Humph, it’s only the 20th floor. It’ll take at least 40 floors to see who’s the real prodigy.”
“Eh, the 58th floor is lit up too.”
