"Are you referring to the Black Dragon Prince, Noah Stone?"

Norah Matthews nodded: "Yes, I heard he was in seclusion before, has he come?"

Hugh Matthews sighed: "He has."

Norah Matthews furrowed her brow: "This could be a bit troublesome now."

Hugh Matthews laughed heartily: "Delarosa, don't think too much about it. It's not just me who's troubled. Let's leave it to fate. If it happens, it happens; if it doesn't, then it doesn't. Besides, it's not just about strength, right?"

Norah Matthews' expression relaxed a little, and she said with a smile: "That's true. While strength is important, sometimes luck is even more crucial."

Norah Matthews turned to Carson Flores and explained: "Oliver Stone is the young leader of the Black Dragon Clan. He is immensely talented and powerful, recognized as the successor to the Black Dragon King, which is why he's called the Black Dragon Prince."

"There were rumors he was in seclusion for a breakthrough, so I thought he wouldn't participate. I didn't expect him to come. The question is whether he has indeed made that breakthrough. If he has, then in terms of martial strength, no one might be able to rival him."

Carson Flores asked: "Breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal?"

Norah Matthews nodded: "Yes, he is not very old; in fact, he's quite young, but he already reached the Peak of Golden Immortal early on. His seclusion is naturally for breaking through to become a Heavenly Immortal."

Carson Flores realized: "A favored child of the heavens!"

Norah Matthews smiled: "In terms of seniority in the Black Dragon Clan, he's very junior, but his rapid rise in strength quickly placed all his competitive elders beneath him."

"Not only in strength, but he has also shown significant abilities in leadership and management. Even though he's young, he has already gained much favor. Many members of the Dragon Clan support him; it is because of this that he was appointed as the young leader, despite his age."

"While his strength might still have gaps compared to some of his elders, accounting for his age, potential, and prestige, these are aspects that his elders can't compare to at all."

"Although each branch of the Dragon Clan has outstanding talents, compared to him, they all pale in comparison. Many even say that if the Dragon Clan were to unify again, it's highly likely he would be the one to do it."

Carson Flores laughed: "Truly deserving of the people's trust, it seems he's indeed a super-exceptional talent."

Hugh Matthews smiled wryly: "He is the first Dragon Spirit Holder in the Dragon Clan for millennia, similar to the Human Race's Innate Taoist Body, but it's even rarer."

Carson Flores immediately had an understanding that anyone with an Innate Taoist Body is a darling of the era and, with sufficient resources and protection, could grow rapidly into a formidable existence.

Unfortunately, even though Delarosa helped me transplant an Innate Phenomenon, I am not an Innate Taoist Body, so when I encounter a bottleneck, I still get stuck.

"The bloodline of the Dragon Clan is inherently powerful, and on top of that, with the talent of being a Dragon Spirit Holder, given a little time, no one can surpass him!"

Hugh Matthews smiled wryly: "Yes, that's why everyone gets a bit discouraged when they see him come. It's quite hard to compete with him."

Norah Matthews comforted: "Just do your best, I will try my best to help you."

Carson Flores asked: "Will many people be going in?"

Hugh Matthews replied: "Each branch of the Dragon Clan will send fifty people in, with their strength generally at the Golden Immortal Late Stage, Peak of Golden Immortal, and Early Celestial Immortal."

Carson Flores asked curiously: "Even Early Celestial Immortals went in, why don't even more powerful Heavenly Immortals go in?"

Norah Matthews explained: "In the Sacred Place, there's a suppression by the Heavenly Dao Rules. Even though more powerful Heavenly Immortals can enter, they suffer under the rule's suppression – the stronger they are, the harder it becomes. If one wishes to exert Heavenly Immortal power, the stronger the exertion, the more severely targeted they are by these rules. Within the Domain, the rules are paramount unless you can break through the domain and destroy it."

Carson Flores immediately understood; it's similar to the rules of the Secret Realm.

Isn't it true that many Secret Realms only allow cultivators below a certain realm to enter?

The rules are the supreme existence in a Secret Realm, and breaking them would cause the Secret Realm to cease to exist. If you wish to undertake an adventure in the Secret Realm, you must abide by its rules.

Carson Flores pondered that this rule was likely related to the Ancestral Dragon Spirit's perpetual presence; of course, it could also be a protective rule set by the Ancestral Dragon Spirit for itself.

Hugh Matthews chatted for a while and then left. It was clear he came specifically to greet Carson Flores, the Immortal Palace Envoy, to show goodwill.

There was resentment between Leighton Matthews and Carson Flores, and if Hugh Matthews didn't know how to improve their relationship, then he would indeed be foolish.

Carson Flores smiled: "Hugh Matthews, Leighton Matthews, Ms. Matthews, who do you think will win?"

Norah Matthews shook her head: "The strength of those two is about equal, each with supporters. It's hard to predict who will win; they can only do their best!"

Carson Flores nodded, not saying much more, as it was internal Dragon Clan affairs that didn't concern him.

To the Dragon Clan, he was merely an outsider, merely a passerby.

At this moment, a guard came to knock on the door.

"The Clan Leader is back and requests you and the Special Envoy from the Celestial Palace to go together; he is waiting for you in the main tent."
