Although the Great Elder had begun to harbor suspicions, he did not suspect that Xin Ci was human.
Since the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors established the Demon Yuan restriction, no human had ever set foot in the Beast God Valley.
Thus, the Great Elder naturally did not consider Xin Ci to be of the human race.
Xin Ci's Immortal Golden Dragon Soul had already manifested, yet after a long while, the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree remained utterly still.
The surrounding demon beasts couldn't help but feel confused, murmuring amongst themselves.
"What's going on? Didn't he receive a response from the Divine Tree?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The young man on the Divine Tree altar is from the Immortal Golden Dragon clan."
"Yes, with the advantage of dragon bloodline, the Divine Tree should at least respond and bestow a blessing."
"This is truly strange."
In contrast, the members of the Undying Phoenix clan felt a sense of schadenfreude.
"The Immortal Golden Dragon clan is quite amusing. The first one to step onto the Divine Tree altar didn't even get a blessing!"
"It seems our Undying Phoenix clan can finally gain the upper hand over the Immortal Golden Dragon clan, hahahaha..."
"Perhaps the Immortal Golden Dragon clan's killing intent is too heavy, displeasing the Dragon Ancestor, hence no blessing was given."
The taunts from the Undying Phoenix clan made the Immortal Golden Dragon clan feel extremely embarrassed and furious.
"Damn it, what is the Undying Phoenix clan so proud of!"
"Who says our Immortal Golden Dragon clan has too much killing intent? Bah! Utter nonsense."
"Damn it, what is that fellow doing? If he didn't get the Divine Tree's approval, he should hurry down and stop embarrassing the Immortal Golden Dragon clan."
The Immortal Golden Dragon clan's emotions were becoming agitated, and they began to criticize Xin Ci.
Xin Ci paid them no mind. He had never intended to provoke a reaction from the Divine Tree in the first place.
His sole objective from the beginning was the Eternal Dao Seal.
The moment he reached the base of the Divine Tree, Xin Ci finally confirmed that the third Eternal Dao Seal was indeed inside the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree.
However, a problem arose. How was he supposed to obtain the Eternal Dao Seal?
Could he possibly have to destroy this Dragon Blood Treasure Tree? That was clearly impossible, as it was the Divine Tree of the Beast God Valley.
This gave Xin Ci a headache. This third Eternal Dao Seal was proving to be quite difficult to acquire.
But for now, it was best to temporarily descend from the Divine Tree altar. As for the matter of the Eternal Dao Seal, he would have to find another way.
At least he had confirmed its location.
Just as Xin Ci turned to leave, the Divine Tree altar, which had been motionless, began to tremble violently.
The Dragon Blood Treasure Tree was shaking!
Xin Ci abruptly turned back to look, and saw the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree emitting a dazzling, verdant glow. Immediately after, a boundless power was suddenly released from the Divine Tree.
This power was filled with infinite vitality and life essence, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort. Such potent life energy instantly spread throughout the entire Beast God Valley. Not only Heavenly Demon City, but even the myriad demon beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, as if witnessing the descent of a monarch, prostrated themselves on the ground, emitting roars of reverence and submission towards the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree.
The fluctuation caused by the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree also awakened the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors, who were in seclusion within the Dragon Ancestor's palace.
"This is impossible! How could the Dragon Ancestor approve of a mere human!"
The Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors' expressions changed drastically. They flew out together, appearing in the sky above the Divine Tree altar.
The phenomenon triggered by Xin Ci at the Divine Tree shocked the many demon beasts present.
Both the Immortal Golden Dragon and Undying Phoenix clans were captivated by this astonishing transformation, their eyes widening in unison as they all gazed at Xin Ci on the Divine Tree altar.
Jin Yaoyang and the Great Elder both shot up from their seats, their faces filled with disbelief.
Not only them, but all the demon beasts were bewildered as to why Xin Ci had caused such a drastic change.
Let alone these demon beasts, even Xin Ci himself was utterly clueless at this moment.
What was going on?
He wasn't a demon beast, so why was the Divine Tree reacting so strongly?
"It's the Eternal Dao Scripture. Xin Ci, the Eternal Dao Scripture you cultivate seems to be resonating with the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree," Mu Qingqing transmitted to him.
Xin Ci immediately checked and found that Mu Qingqing was correct.
The Eternal Dao Seal he cultivated was inexplicably operating on its own, absorbing the boundless life essence emanating from the Divine Tree.
Could it be that because the Eternal Dao Seal was within the Divine Tree, his cultivated Eternal Dao Scripture was exhibiting such an anomaly?
However, this change was entirely beyond Xin Ci's expectations.
With such a huge commotion, it would be difficult to extricate himself.
On the Divine Tree altar, the changes in the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree were not over. The center of the Divine Tree suddenly transformed into interwoven, dispersed emerald vines.
These vines gradually separated, and a distorted green spatial channel officially formed.
Then, the spatial channel rippled slightly, and a verdant token slowly flew out from within, landing in Xin Ci's hand.
Xin Ci examined the green token in his hand. At first, he thought it was the Eternal Dao Seal.
But upon closer inspection, he realized that this token was vastly different from the Eternal Dao Seal.
The other demon beasts present also had no idea what this token was.
Only the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors, who had concealed their presence and appeared above the Divine Tree altar, had their eyes flashing with brilliance. Their hearts filled with shock, they uttered three disbelieving words with trembling lips: "Dragon Ancestor Token!"
As soon as the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors' voices rang out, their concealed auras were no longer suppressed. The demonic energy of two five-star Great Emperors instantly surged forth, sweeping across the heavens and earth.
The demon beasts below, without exception, had their expressions change drastically. In a flash, they all knelt on the ground, respectfully welcoming the arrival of the two powerful beings.
"Greetings, Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors!"
With the appearance of the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors, even the Great Elders of the Immortal Golden Dragon and Undying Phoenix clans had no choice but to bow down.
One had to understand that the two figures in the sky were the rulers of the Beast God Valley. Even with their noble status within their respective clans, they could only bow in subservience before the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors.
The Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors ignored the surrounding demon beasts, their gazes fixed intently on Xin Ci on the Divine Tree altar.
Especially upon seeing the Dragon Ancestor Token in his hand, the two five-star Great Emperors were deeply perplexed.
Why did the Dragon Ancestor choose this human!
After all, the Dragon Ancestor Token was the sole key to entering the Dragon Ancestor Space!
This human youth obtaining the Dragon Ancestor Token meant that the Dragon Ancestor approved of his entry into the Dragon Ancestor Space.
How could a mere human enter the sacred land of the dragon race!
Even if the Dragon Ancestor approved of him, the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors could not accept it!
The sudden appearance of the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors also stunned Xin Ci and Mu Qingqing.
The previous anomaly had, after all, alarmed the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Emperors who were in seclusion in the palace.
Mu Qingqing and Xin Ci both realized that the situation was dire.
Especially Mu Qingqing. She resolutely forced a personality switch, taking control of Xin Ci's body, intending to escape the Beast God Valley quickly.
However, under the oppressive aura of two five-star Great Emperors, Mu Qingqing had no chance of escape.
"You dare try to run!"
The Dragon Emperor's stern shout echoed through the heavens, causing the surrounding demon beasts to shiver involuntarily at his roar.
