Liuyue did not waste time.
“Matriarch Meiyun,” he said quietly, “I’ll get straight to the point. Do you know why every golden dragon soul disappeared? ”
For a moment, Meiyun’s hand froze in midair.
She did not deny.
Lianchen stepped forward, voice heavy:46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrRrok3aXn
“… are you planning to tell us only after Heiwu Sect fully revives?”
Meiyun inhaled sharply.
Her eyes trembled.
“…Come with me.”
She led them through layers of formations, down to a hidden chamber sealed for 100,000 years.
With a wave of her hand—46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2d0hwCCr8
The stone doors opened.
Liuyue’s breath left him.
The chamber was filled with—
Golden dragon spinal bones.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbfLzxZmHW
Hundreds of them.
Each one radiated faint remnants of ancient pride and unimaginable suffering.
Meiyun spoke, her voice low, every word weighed with sorrow.
“When a golden dragon dies, its soul must return to the heavens.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ku9R3Psyq
Its aura should bless the earth.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixrRBjNqZj
And its bones become sacred tools of the clan.”
She reached out, fingers trembling over a cracked spine.
“But these…”46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z4wQ3j5oO
Her voice broke.
“These dragons did not return to the heavens.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxRGFkg6s6
Their auras did not bless anyone.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAacjJNXJVo
Their bones… were thrown away.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA9EywdWx7
Discarded like trash.”
Liuyue’s eyes widened.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOrHlV0VW1
“Someone intercepted the souls?”
Meiyun nodded slowly.
“We don’t know who.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1jbfvIRMM
We don’t know how.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiaXCybT9U
We only know one thing—”
Her eyes lifted, filled with ancient terror.
“Our golden dragons are being stolen.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbbzv5RTrS
And their souls are trapped somewhere.”
Silence.
A suffocating silence.
THE CELESTIAL DRAGON MYSTERY
Meiyun exhaled unsteadily.
“A golden dragon’s soul returns to heaven.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiqQkaaFhE
Then it reincarnates as a celestial dragon.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYr83m43i5
So celestial dragons have no bones—only a core in their head.”
Lianchen continued, “Then why was Long Wei’s daughter born a celestial dragon?”
Meiyun touched the glowing wall.
“Because Long Wei was NOT the first golden dragon.”
The room shook.
“What?” Liuyue whispered.
“Yes. Before Long Wei’s era, there were other golden dragons.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXOHZ5wUX9
Their souls should have returned to heaven.”
She pointed at Jianxu’s pendant—still glowing faintly outside the chamber.
“Which is why the feather—Long Wei’s son—reacted to Jianxu.”
Liuyue’s expression darkened.
“And Long Jianxu…46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKK30ZG5x8
He is also a golden dragon.”
“Correct.”
Meiyun nodded.
THE TRUTH ABOUT TIAN YAO
But Meiyun wasn’t finished.
“Before Tianyao was born, I felt it,” she whispered. “A shuddering dragon soul leaving this world… but not ascending.”
Liuyue stiffened.
“That soul went to heaven?”
“Yes.”
“And the child born after that soul ascended was—”
“Tianyao.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQtjaG3zOX
The celestial dragon reincarnation of Long Wei.”
Liuyue’s heart dropped.
Hanxu, Jianxu, Yulian, Jinluo, Tianyao…
All connected by destiny.
All tied to a tragedy 100,000 years old.
Lianchen spoke quietly.
“Then why did the feather—the son—attack Tianyao? Why would a child’s soul attack the reincarnation of his own father?”
Meiyun pressed her palm to her forehead.
“Too many mysteries.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTdQbFwuBD
Too many broken truths.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESyKMU2OoP
Something is wrong with the celestial souls.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvUBoxmkA7
Someone is manipulating them.”
She lifted her gaze.
“And at the center of all these threads…46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yjJ9rjGz9
Heiwu Sect waits in the shadows.”
The chamber fell silent.
Because for the first time—
They realized:
The enemy was not returning.46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQub9KFXR9
The enemy had never left.
