Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 428 - 330: Is the Little Skeleton the Zhao Clan’s Ancestor?

Chapter 428: Chapter 330: Is the Little Skeleton the Zhao Clan’s Ancestor?

No one could answer Zhao Yi’s question.

People in the Cultivation World knew little about the Dragon Race. The most they had encountered were the pseudo dragons in the four seas, whereas True Dragons were of a level too advanced and too distant for them.

In the myths of Zhao Yi’s past life, there were dragons surpassing True Dragons, such as the legendary Ancestral Dragon and Celestial Dragon.

But in the Cultivation World, Zhao Yi hadn’t seen any records about the Ancestral Dragon.

There were indeed records of the Celestial Dragon, especially one closely related to the Zhao Clan; that was the Red Gold Celestial Dragon, from which Ancestor Zhao created the "Dragon God Technique."

But apart from Ancestor Zhao, no one had ever seen the Red Gold Celestial Dragon; in fact, no one could even confirm the existence of the legendary dragons.

Could it be that the little skeleton was actually the Red Gold Celestial Dragon?

As soon as this thought arose, it spread wildly in Zhao Yi’s mind like weeds.

"Damn, could it be true?"

Zhao Yi glanced at the scattered bones on the ground, feeling as though a flock of crows had flown over his head.

As Zhao Yi pondered this, various fragmented memories surfaced before him.

The first time Zhao Yi saw the little skeleton was at the entrance plaza of the Pixiu Divine Hall in the Treasure Tower Secret Realm, the hall of the Son of the True Dragon.

At that time, the plaza was covered with bones, almost endless, so when Zhao Yi saw the little skeleton, he merely thought it was pleasing to the eye, so he took it without much thought.

Thinking back now, that inexplicable affinity was indeed the biggest issue.

Before this little skeleton, Zhao Yi had never felt this kind of fondness toward any other skeleton.

Especially in that environment, with skeletons everywhere, continuously respawning as undead creatures trying to kill Zhao Yi.

According to Zhao Yi’s usual reaction, he ought to have crushed the little skeleton underfoot, rather than signing a master-servant contract with it and using the soul fire from the undead creatures to help it heal.

Zhao Yi believed that the little skeleton came to him dragging its broken bones largely due to that inexplicable fondness.

Besides the mutual fondness, Zhao Yi also recalled another matter.

That was the Tribulation Thunder!

The little skeleton entered Zhao Yi’s Little World much earlier than the True Dragon did.

When the Purple Gold Divine Dragon transformed, Zhao Yi, cornered by a Chaos Storm, returned to the Treasure Tower Secret Realm to bring all the undead creatures to the New World to withstand the lightning strikes. It was then that the little skeleton entered.

Later, during the destruction of the Small World Barrier, when the Chaos Storm swept through the Small World Fragments, and during the recent regeneration of the New World barrier.

The little skeleton was involved in all these events.

Because it habitually hid away and had such a low presence, Zhao Yi often forgot about its existence.

Recalling it now, Zhao Yi was startled to realize the little skeleton was far more powerful than he had imagined.

During the destruction of the New World barrier, the True Dragon and Sage of Time were also present.

The final outcome was that half of the True Dragon’s body was pulverized, and its injuries, untreated after tens of thousands of years of cultivation, worsened significantly.

The Sage of Time fared even worse, their physical body destroyed, and their divine soul obliterated.

This cunning figure, having plotted in the Spirit Realm and Magic World for hundreds of thousands of years, died unknown in a New World without anyone knowing, becoming an unmarked soul without even a decent grave.

The little skeleton, having experienced all this too, not only remained unscathed but even took advantage of the True Dragon’s distress, suppressing it for over a year, creating invaluable opportunities for the New World’s development.

Otherwise, given the Spiritual Energy density of the New World, had the True Dragon undergone reincarnation, it might have erupted long ago, delivering a fatal blow to Zhao Yi at a critical moment.

The more Zhao Yi thought about it, the more probable it seemed that the little skeleton was indeed the Red Gold True Dragon.

After sharing his suspicions with Miaoyin, she was similarly astonished to hear that the little skeleton was the one from the Treasure Tower Secret Realm.

She was present when Zhao Yi collected the little skeleton and was quite familiar with its peculiarities.

Although the color of the little skeleton’s soul fire was similar to that of lower undead creatures, it could even absorb the soul fire of eighth-tier Lizard Warriors, leaving a deep impression on Miaoyin.

After listening to Zhao Yi’s words, Miaoyin nodded and said, "If that’s the case, then it might really be the Red Gold Celestial Dragon! However, what I suspect is not that its bones are harder than a True Dragon’s, but rather the connections between you."

She continued, "I suggest letting Ancestor research it. Ancestor was closest to the time of the Red Gold Celestial Dragon’s appearance. If there’s any sensitivity to detect, his would likely be strongest."

Zhao Yi nodded and sent someone to notify Ancestor Zhao Xuan to come over.

He then turned to look at the little creature.

In just this short while, the little creature had gnawed through most of the True Dragon bones on the ground.

Zhao Yi ignored the bones chewed apart by the little creature, choosing instead to gather the unbitten ones, trying to piece them together on the table.

Having seen the complete form of the little skeleton before, piecing it together wasn’t difficult for Zhao Yi, and he quickly assembled an outline.

"How is it?" Miaoyin asked from beside him.

Zhao Yi shook his head, "My guess is wrong. It seems the Path of the Dragon suppresses it too. Even when pieced together, the expected connection didn’t appear."

Zhao Yi had previously witnessed at the Pixiu Divine Hall how the little skeleton summoned other bone pieces with just its skull intact to reassemble itself.

Thus, Zhao Yi attempted to construct the little skeleton’s frame, hoping it would self-restore to its original form.

However, whether due to the Dragon Pearl explosion or suppression by the Path of the Dragon, the little skeleton’s bones had truly become like dead, inert bones, devoid of any connection.

Miaoyin picked some bones from the pile selected by the little creature and added them in, confirming, as Zhao Yi said, that the little skeleton’s bones lacked any connection.

Shaking her head, Miaoyin said helplessly, "It seems we can only wait for the Ancestor. If the identity of the little skeleton can be confirmed through bloodline sensing, perhaps it will resolve the mysteries surrounding the Zhao Clan."

Zhao Yi nodded.

As he looked at the array of bones on the table, a thought unexpectedly struck him.

The cultivation technique of the Zhao Clan was created by Ancestor Zhao contemplating the Red Gold Celestial Dragon, which, in terms of generations, should count as the progenitor of the Zhao Clan.

If the little skeleton is indeed the Red Gold Celestial Dragon, yet was contracted by Zhao Yi to be a pet.

What status would Zhao Yi hold within the Zhao Clan then?

If Ancestor Zhao Xuan and others knew, would they beat him to death for it?

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.

No sooner had Zhao Yi thought of Zhao Xuan than he came in from outside.

"Kid, what did you call me for?"

Halfway through his words, Zhao Xuan suddenly paused, his gaze immediately shifting to the skeletal framework on the table ahead.

"What is that thing?"
