However, he was quite confident in himself. With his immortal golden dragon bloodline, Jin Yaoyang believed that the divine tree blessing he would receive later would be no worse than Feng Jinxuan's.
Feng Jinxuan descended from the sacrificial platform, and the elder beasts successively offered their congratulations.
From the perspective of the immortal golden dragon clan, these beasts' actions were merely an attempt to get closer to the immortal phoenix clan.
"Hmph, Feng Jinxuan of the immortal phoenix clan is just lucky."
"Exactly, it's nothing to be proud of to receive a divine tree blessing by relying on the immortal phoenix clan's racial advantage."
"That's right, our immortal golden dragon clan's Jin Yaoyang has not yet received the divine tree blessing, and those beasts are already rushing to curry favor with the immortal phoenix clan. How short-sighted!"
"It's just a legendary sacred artifact, the Phoenix Bead. When our clan's Jin Yaoyang receives the divine tree blessing, we can also obtain a legendary sacred artifact."
...
The beasts of the immortal golden dragon clan praised Jin Yaoyang one after another.
It was clear that they were very jealous that the immortal phoenix clan had received the recognition of the divine tree.
The taunts of the immortal golden dragon clan were not very loud, but Feng Jinxuan did not care. She merely cast a disdainful glance at them with the posture of a victor and elegantly descended from the divine tree sacrificial platform.
This attitude made the immortal golden dragon clan even more displeased, and the clamor continued.
"Damn it, that Feng Jinxuan is too arrogant."
"Just receiving a divine tree blessing, and acting as if their immortal phoenix clan has already defeated our immortal golden dragon clan."
"It's really detestable, she simply doesn't take us seriously at all."
"Exactly, Lord Jin Yaoyang is still here, and Feng Jinxuan dares to be so presumptuous..."
"All of you, shut up!"
At this moment, a cold, stern rebuke interrupted the clamor of the immortal golden dragon clan.
Jin Yaoyang, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly raised his icy eyes, his face as dark as water, and his sharp gaze swept over his kin.
In an instant, these kin beasts all shut their mouths obediently.
Because they could feel his anger from Jin Yaoyang's cold eyes.
For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Although Jin Yaoyang had his pride and confidence, he also detested other beasts making him the center of attention and boasting and being arrogant by belittling other beast clans.
This made other beasts harbor some resentment towards him.
Jin Yaoyang's indifferent gaze swept over them again, and he noticed that among these beasts, one appeared calm and composed.
He seemed indifferent to his recent rebuke and didn't care about the immortal phoenix clan's divine tree blessing process.
Jin Yaoyang's scarlet pupils contracted, and he stared intently at Xin Ci.
For some reason, Jin Yaoyang suddenly felt that this fellow clansman was not simple.
But he couldn't pinpoint why.
He seemed to be the one who had just been reprimanded by the Great Elder.
Forget it, anyway, when it came to the divine tree blessing, this fellow would be the first beast from the immortal golden dragon clan to step onto the sacrificial platform for testing.
At that time, he would see what was mysterious about him.
Jin Yaoyang shook his head secretly, withdrew his gaze, and stopped paying attention to Xin Ci.
Mu Qingqing, in the consciousness space, transmitted a message to Xin Ci: "That immortal golden dragon named Jin Yaoyang seems to have become suspicious of you. Be careful."
"Indeed, I also noticed the gaze he cast at me in secret. However, I can feel that Jin Yaoyang has no hostility towards us for the time being. I assume he hasn't discovered my human identity yet."
Xin Ci replied telepathically.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Jin Yaoyang, thinking: Why did this peerless prodigy of the immortal golden dragon clan suddenly focus on Xin Ci?
At the same time, the members of the immortal phoenix clan present had also ascended the divine tree sacrificial platform once.
Although the immortal phoenix clan had more members who received divine tree blessings than other beast clans due to their racial advantage, special divine tree blessings like those of Feng Jinxuan and Feng Jinyao no longer appeared.
However, overall, the immortal phoenix clan had reaped considerable rewards at this Dragon Ancestor Ceremony.
Next was the divine tree blessing of the immortal golden dragon clan.
As one of the two supreme king races of the Beast God Valley, the other beasts paid as much attention to the immortal golden dragon clan as they did to the immortal phoenix clan.
Meanwhile, Xin Ci was still contemplating clues about the Eternal Dao Seal.
Jin Tong, beside him, quietly patted his shoulder and reminded him, "Xin Ci, what are you thinking about? It's your turn."
Xin Ci then snapped back to his senses. He raised his eyes, and his gaze met that of the Great Elder of the immortal golden dragon clan.
The Great Elder's face was grim, and he said coldly, "What are you looking at! Hurry up and go up!"
"Yes, Great Elder," Xin Ci said respectfully, feigning obedience.
At the same time, Xin Ci had already devised a plan.
He had no demon yuan within him, so it was unlikely that he could trigger a reaction from the divine tree.
Since that was the case, he could only try to borrow the power of the immortal golden dragon soul.
During the previous tests of other beasts, some beasts had also used their demon souls to trigger divine tree blessings.
Perhaps the immortal golden dragon soul could also do it.
With this thought, Xin Ci stepped onto the divine tree sacrificial platform.
When Feng Jinyao saw that Xin Ci was the first person from the immortal golden dragon clan to undergo the divine tree test, a hint of surprise appeared in her crystal-clear eyes. She exclaimed, "It's him!"
"It seems the immortal golden dragon clan intends to hold Jin Yaoyang back as their trump card. However, I am also somewhat interested in the man you mentioned. I wonder what kind of divine tree blessing he can trigger?" Feng Jinxuan said with a faint smile beside her.
The other beasts also focused their attention on Xin Ci.
Given his current identity as a member of the immortal golden dragon clan, it was likely that these beasts had high expectations of him.
Xin Ci stood beneath the divine tree. The immortal golden dragon soul surged from his forehead, transforming into a radiant golden dragon phantom that roamed the sacrificial platform.
"Dragon soul leaving the body! Could it be that the kid on the divine tree sacrificial platform has cultivated the Golden Scale Art to the Great Accomplishment realm!"
"This is truly surprising. The Golden Scale Art is the supreme true meaning of our immortal golden dragon clan. Apart from the elders who have advanced to the Imperial Rank spirit beast, only Jin Yaoyang has managed to cultivate it to the Great Accomplishment realm. I never expected that the kid on the divine tree sacrificial platform has also achieved it!"
"Strange, how have we never heard of such a prodigy before? Could he have been deliberately hiding himself?"
The members of the immortal golden dragon clan below the sacrificial platform, including Jin Yaoyang and the Great Elder, widened their eyes and stared intently at Xin Ci.
Especially the Great Elder, whose gaze grew sharper. He asked Jin Tong in a deep voice, "What is that kid's name?"
"Replying to the Great Elder, his name is Xin Ci."
"Xin Ci? There is clearly no such person in the clan. Where did this fellow come from?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder was immediately puzzled.
As the Great Elder of the immortal golden dragon clan, he was naturally familiar with their members, but he had never heard of Xin Ci.
This fellow's origins are mysterious. I must investigate him thoroughly after the Dragon Ancestor Ceremony is over!
