Darren flew with Scott.
"Darren, I know you have a lot of questions in your mind. You can ask me now," Scott said as he landed on the top of a huge mountain. Then he made his way toward a stone and sat down.
"Scott, you came here for that blood pool, didn't you? Can you tell me more about the lake?" Darren asked.
"Okay. It is said that the lake is the birthplace of all sects with our dragon bloodline. It is possible that it is the provenance for all creatures in the world who have the aura of dragon blood." Scott's explanation aroused Darren's curiosity.
"If that is the case, the blood inside the pool is real dragon blood, right?" Darren asked in surprise.
Scott nodded. After a moment, he continued, "According to my clan's recordings, this is the blood of the original dragon. But after thousands of years, the lake has almost dried out. The original dragon aura has almost completely disappeared.
However, the dragon blood left in the lake can produce one Dragon Saliva Fruit every few thousand years, which can strengthen a cultivator's bloodline force. That's why I have come here."
"So, where did the dragon blood come from?" Darren asked. Scott's explanation had piqued his curiosity.
"From outside this world," Scott said expressionlessly as he pointed at the sky. "You will understand when I show you something."
Darren nodded before voicing another question. "Scott, since you are from the Dragon Blood Clan, can you tell me whether all the members of the Dragon Sect keep the dragon bloodline?"
Scott shook his head and replied, "My Dragon Blood Clan is on the Western Fire Island, and my clan is in charge of the Dragon Holy Land, generation by generation."
"What?" Darren was confused by Scott's reply. Then he said, "I was told that the Dragon Sect was previously the Ancient Dragon Holy Land. Later, it was replaced by the Dragon Sect."
"You are right. The Holy Lord of the Ancient Dragon Holy Land was a member of our clan. But he was too ambitious and did something to cross the line. So, our clan asked my father to replace him. It is complicated. We can talk about it later," Scott replied.
"Oh, I see. Scott, you have such a high cultivation base, but you were still severely injured. Were your injuries caused by the Blood Dragon in the blood pool?" Darren asked.
"No. Another terrible creature hurt me. The Holy Lords, including me, encountered it previously and it was almost as strong as us at that time. But now that a few months have passed, I am certain that it has improved at a terrible speed. I believe it is probably as powerful as a Grand Realm cultivator."
Darren was shocked at Scott's words. He knew that the terrible creature Scott mentioned was the fiend that flew out from the bronze coffin.
"Okay, Darren. Now, follow me, and I will show you something extraordinary. After that, we should leave. I am afraid that the terrible creature is still around and that we are in great danger." Scott shuddered in fear at the mention of the creature.
...
Darren followed Scott as they flew over one great mountain and another. Finally, they stopped at a remote place. Darren was stunned as he looked ahead.
"Oh, my goddess!" Darren muttered. He had never been this shocked before.
Far ahead of them, a clear lake glistened in the sun. And on the lake lay a dead body!
The dead body was black all over and as long as thousands of miles. Although it had been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, it still gave off a powerful and mysterious aura!
According to the legends, that was the body of an ancient cyan dragon!
Now, Darren was convinced that there was dragon blood in the giant lake. Although Darren had not believed the legends before, he couldn't deny them now. After all, he was looking at the dragon's body!
As Darren continued to study the creature from afar, he could not help but wonder how powerful the cyan dragon would be if it were alive now. Darren was certain that it could ruin the whole world with only one paw!
"Scott, the dragon blood is from this cyan dragon?" Darren asked, still stunned.
"You are right. The secret recordings from my ancestors mentioned that this cyan dragon came from outside our world many hundreds of thousands of years ago. It fell on this tremendous barren area. When my ancestors found it, it was already dead. Its blood pooled on the ground and formed that giant lake. That was the origin of the dragon blood lake we saw previously."
