In the centre of the Dragon Domain, a white haze rose up as if it was a sea of clouds, magnificent and extraordinary. Occasionally, through the layers of hazy clouds, an imposing palace could be seen.
There, it was exactly where the Dragon Palace was!
The layers of clouds and mist that enveloped the Dragon Palace were laid out by the ancestors of the Dragon Clan with supreme magical abilities, capturing the creation of heaven and earth with great difficulty. The stacked clouds have incredible clever ability to protect the Dragon Palace in the moment of danger. It is called the "Circumstantial Cloud Covering Formation".
Normally, due to the cost of maintaining the formation is too large, the formation will not be fully opened, only those clouds that block the line of sight. Only when the Dragon Palace was in danger would the formation be fully opened. At that time, the terrifying power of the big formation will naturally be able to come into full play.
At the moment, Ao Fan and his party were walking in the big formation, their feet stepping on the sea of clouds, surrounded by a blanket of white, the eye could not see.
Fang Xue was usually unassuming, but as an upper-ranked Divine Beast White Dragon, her cultivation was naturally very exquisite. The large formation that had not been fully opened could not block her vision at all, and she walked freely in this place, leading Ao Fan and Little Spirit straight towards the Dragon Palace.
Even if the effect of the Grand Formation could have an effect on Fang Xue, Fang Xue also possessed a specially made dragon card according to the Grand Formation, which could make the Grand Formation unable to have the slightest effect on her.
Such dragon cards were very precious and rare within the Dragon Domain, and not many dragons possessed them at all. Even Ao Fan, who was a prince, and Xiao Ling'er, who was a princess, had not seen it.
In front of his eyes, there was a blanket of white, and he couldn't see anything at all. Ao Fan simply closed his eyes, his face expressionless. His heart, just like the clouds around him, was in a daze.
With regards to his situation, Fang Xue was looking at him with pain in her heart. This was all due to the damage that the Dragon Emperor had brought to Ao Fan in the past ten years. She couldn't help but say, "Fan'er, when you meet your father's emperor later, don't keep a stern face."
"Oh." Ao Fan nodded and answered, not knowing if he had listened.
Suddenly, the light in front of him brightened up, and Ao Fan could clearly feel it even with his eyes closed. He couldn't help but open his eyes and look out.
They were at the entrance of the Dragon Palace, the gate was twenty feet wide and thirty feet long, and there was an extremely wide and long plaque at the top, with gold characters on a blue background, and the word "Dragon Palace" was written in dragon and phoenix!
Palace door on both sides of the wall, extends to the invisible distance, surrounded by the whole dragon palace, are by a kind of stone called "blue crystal stone" stone block, colour blue, bright and smooth, look over, as if it is a crystal, see people dazzled.
Under the palace door, there are two rows of ten dragon guards, their cultivation is very high. From the hidden dragon horns in front of their foreheads, it could be seen that their cultivation had reached the Dao Realm.
Spotting Ao Fan and the others arriving, the two rows of dragon guards hurriedly said in unison, "Greetings to the Imperial Mother, His Majesty the Prince, and His Majesty the Princess."
This was a form of etiquette, all people in the Dragon Domain were required to salute when they saw their noble clansmen.
Fang Xue nodded and led Ao Fan and Little Spirit to walk into the palace, continuing along an avenue.
The colour of the avenue was dark blue, and it was paved with a kind of stone called "Deep Blue Crystal Stone". This kind of crystal stone is the companion crystal stone of "Blue Crystal Stone". Although it is not as bright and eye-catching as the former, it is deeper and more stable.
Ao Fan walked along the main road for a few moments, and then turned into a small road.
The path winds and twists, leading to a "Jade Cuisine Hall". Today, where Ao Fan and the others had their meal, it was in that hall.
Along the way, only to see pavilions, small bridges and water, numerous, wonderful. Also see all corners have planted flowers, everywhere fragrant.
In no time, Ao Fan arrived at the Jade Cuisine Hall.
Inside the hall, a round table stood in the centre, with a glazed crystal lamp hanging upside down right above it. At each of the four corners, there were lacquered red roof pillars. On the edge of one of the windows, there was also a pillar of sandalwood incense burning, with a clear flavour lingering around.
"Your father has a lot of heavy duties and hasn't come over yet, let's sit down first." Fang Xue said gently, sitting down at the round table first.
Seeing this, Ao Fan and Little Ling'er took their seats in turn.
Looking up, Ao Fan was facing a window. Sight through the window, can clearly see outside, the night is already dark ...
Unconsciously, Ao Fan felt his left hand being pinched and immediately came back to his senses. Looking forward, the Dragon Emperor had arrived at some point and was sitting opposite him. The Dragon Emperor was wearing a light golden wide-sleeved robe, his long hair draped behind him, and was currently looking at him unhappily. And the one who had reminded him just now was obviously Little Spirit Child.
"Serve the food." Seeing Ao Fan come back to his senses, the Dragon Emperor started ordering people to serve the food.
The maidservants who had already arrived when Ao Fan was lost in thought retreated after hearing the Dragon Emperor's order. It wasn't long before the servant girls came back with plates of food. During this period of time, no one spoke, the atmosphere was as dull as the weather before a thunderstorm.
After the maidservants placed the meals on the round table, they all retreated from the great hall. Looking at the mountains of delicacies on the table, Ao Fan had no desire to eat.
"Eat." Seeing that the meals were all served on the table, the Dragon Emperor succinctly said.
Little Ling'er immediately picked up her chopsticks cheerfully and pinched towards the food, while elbowing Ao Fan with her other hand. Ao Fan also picked up his chopsticks and casually pinched the food.
Seeing that the atmosphere was really low, Fang Xue was a bit dissatisfied and her eyes looked towards the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor's cultivation was superb, so he naturally noticed the gaze and could not manage to ignore it, so he could only put down his wine cup and helplessly said, "During this recent period of time, the three sects of the Southern Domain have been moving extremely well, and will probably make unorthodox moves in the recent years. You happen to step onto the path of cultivation, and your cultivation will become deeper and deeper, in the future you must contribute to the Dragon Domain."
"That's of course." Little Spirit Child laughed softly, appearing to be very understanding.
"As our cultivation deepens in the future, we will naturally contribute to the Dragon Domain." Ao Fan also spoke.
Who knows that after hearing this, the Dragon Emperor frowned tightly, and then said, "You are exempt, with your cultivation, in the future, when you fight with the three gates of the Southern Domain, you won't be able to help much, and it is even possible that you will be taken captive due to your identity as a royal son, and used to threaten the Dragon Domain."
The moment these words came out, everyone except the Dragon Emperor gave a start.
Ao Fan's mood was suddenly sad and angry after the Dragon Emperor's words fell, and he said in a deep voice, "I have just come into contact with cultivation now, and my cultivation is low, but I will eventually grow up in the future, and when that time comes, won't I have the ability to fight for the Dragon Domain?"
The Dragon Emperor's face was cold, in his heart he laughed coldly at Ao Fan's lack of self-importance, and in his mouth he said with the same lack of politeness, "When the time comes what time is it? Cultivation can only go into battle if you have reached the Dao realm, otherwise you are just looking for death! The average red dragon, from the start of cultivation to the Dao realm, it takes at least twenty years, and in the case of the three gates of the Southern Domain, it seems that there might be an action within a few years, what ability do you have to help at that time?"
Ao Fan took a deep breath and forced down his excitement, saying, "An average red dragon takes twenty years to step through the mortal realm and enter the Dao, but it doesn't mean that I need that long as well."
The Dragon Emperor took a sip from his wine cup and said in a deep voice, "What is so special about you that allows your cultivation to rise faster than others? You have to remember that you're just a red dragon, a lower rank divine beast red dragon!"
With these words, Fang Xue, who was already angry at the Dragon Emperor for looking down on Ao Fan, became even more furious. She stared at the Dragon Emperor with an extremely unkind gaze.
At this moment, Little Ling'er was a bit at a loss for words, putting down her chopsticks and looking both ways with a worried look in her eyes.
Ao Fan let out a bitter smile and said, "So in the end, you just look down on me for being a red dragon."
"How dare you!" The Dragon Emperor slammed the table and looked at Ao Fan angrily.
When Ao Fan addressed him, he didn't even call out to his father, but addressed him as you, which made the Dragon Emperor very angry, feeling that he had lost face.
When had there been a time when he had been this angry? It seemed that after he was born, he himself had often become angry!
