Chapter 447: A Plan Within a Plan

A huge crystal altar is hidden on a tall mountain more than a hundred miles south of the East Sea Grand Palace.

At this time, the Great Emperor of the East Sea Grand Palace, wearing a golden dragon robe and a dragon-shaped crown, and the Eighth Prince, wearing an ordinary green shirt, stood in front of the altar.

The Great Emperor squatted down and whispered something to his beloved son.

The Eighth Prince, who was only seven years old, had a small red bean-like dot on each side of his forehead, slightly protruding from the surface of his skin. That was his natural pair of royal horns. For some reason, this pair of royal horns has never grown since he was born.

"Father, will the totem beast of our Baqi lineage that you just mentioned really come?" The Eighth Prince's eyes were full of hope.

"Of course it's true. If things go well, it won't take long to activate the Eight-branched Scaled Dragon Ancient Formation here and awaken the Eight-branched Scaled Dragon Ancestral Beast that has been sleeping for five hundred years. Of course, it's not the original body of the Ancestral Beast that descends, but a clone of the Ancestral Beast, and it also brings the supreme luck of the Eight-branched Scaled Dragon lineage. This luck belongs only to you. When the time comes, the two horns on your head will grow out, and you will become the only heir to the throne of the East Sea Grand Palace. After that, you will have the ability to communicate with the clone of the Eight-branched Scaled Dragon Ancestral Beast. At that time, even your seven brothers can only look up to you." The Great Emperor's eyes flashed with expectation, looking at his youngest son in front of him.

"Then I can return to the East Sea Grand Palace to live in the future, right?" The Eighth Prince asked eagerly.

"Of course, you will become the crown prince, the only crown prince of the East Sea Grand Palace. In the future, the entire East Sea Grand Palace will belong to you." The Great Emperor patted the Eighth Prince's little shoulder with his hand and said loudly.

"Great, I can see my mother anytime." The Eighth Prince blushed and clapped his hands.

For a long time, the Eighth Prince has been passing down a secret, which can only be known by those who have a pair of royal horns on their heads. That is, once the royal disciples of the Eighth Prince lost the heir with double horns, it means that the Eighth Prince's luck has run out, and thus lost control of the East China Sea Palace, and even gradually declined.

Therefore, the Great Emperor always wanted a son with double horns on his head. He had seven sons in a row, but all of them were single-horned. The Great Emperor even thought that this was God's will and the luck of the Eighth Prince.

When the Great Emperor was 560 years old, his eighth son was born, and he was a prince with double horns on his head.

This really made the Great Emperor happy for a while, and he ordered the whole city to revel for a month and pardoned the world.

But when the Eighth Prince was three years old, the Great Emperor found that the double horns on his youngest son's head could not grow up for some reason.

For this reason, the great emperor tried every possible way, even sending people to Zhongyuan Continent to invite famous doctors, but he could not find a treatment. And his own body was not as good as before as he got older.

The Eighth Prince did not grow horns, not only did he not have the ability to inherit the throne, but he also did not have the ability to compete with his brothers. Therefore, the great emperor chose to send the Eighth Prince out of the Grand Palace and secretly put him in an ordinary family for foster care, away from the disputes over the crown prince in the Grand Palace.

Finally one day, the great emperor accidentally found a solution. That is to summon the ancestor beast clone of the totem beast of the Eight Qi lineage to bring luck to his son.

However, the last time the ancestor beast clone was summoned was five hundred years ago. At that time, a disciple of the Tiangui Sect who called himself "Different Ghost Fire" came from Zhongyuan Continent and made a big fuss in the East China Sea Grand Palace. The great emperor was forced to summon the clone of the Eight Qi Scaled Dragon ancestor beast to deal with it. Unexpectedly, even the clone of the ancestor beast was no match for the ghost fire master. The eight heads of the clone of the eight-branched scaled dragon ancestor beast were even chopped off by the ghost fire master and hung at the gate of the Grand Palace for public display.

The eight-branched scaled dragon ancestor beast, which was far away in the evil spirit world, fell into a long sleep because its clone was killed and its main body was injured. It has not woken up for five hundred years.

This time, in order to find a way to wake up the main body of the eight-branched scaled dragon ancestor beast and summon its clone to come again, the great emperor tried every possible way and has been waiting for an opportunity to come.

Just a few days ago. The great emperor received a report from the seventh prince, informing him that the saint of the pig spirit clan appeared in Jiaolong Bay and accidentally hatched the scaled dragon beast eggs at the altar of Jiaolong Bay. Then he broke the altar and injured the royal horn of the seventh prince.

After the great emperor learned the news, he was extremely angry on the surface, and immediately ordered the expeditionary fleet general Bo Luo to go to the Pig Spirit Island to capture the Pig Spirit Tribe Saint Yun Qiaoer.

"The scale dragon egg at the altar is not an ordinary dragon beast egg. It is an egg used to communicate the blood of the ancestor beast during the sacrifice. Now, the blood egg has actually broken out of the shell. This means that the eight-branched scale dragon ancestor beast far away in the evil spirit world has the possibility of awakening. An opportunity, absolutely an opportunity. Hahaha."

The great emperor who received the news paced alone in the treasure hall of the Grand Palace. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and the laughter continued in the hall.

Then, he made a careful plan. And Yun Qiaoer was the most important part of this plan.

When Bo Luo successfully captured Yun Qiaoer to Donghe City and reported to the great emperor.

The great emperor ordered Bo Luo to send Yun Qiaoer to Fengmingyuan to help him complete a top-secret plan.

Even Bo Luo didn't know the fundamental purpose of this plan.

"If you want to eliminate Xu Yang, Liu Haiyu and others, there is no need to let the princes take action. With the strength of those thieves, even if Feng Mingyuan can suppress the ghost body of Xu Yang and Guigu Changyang, it will pose a threat to the safety of the princes, especially Liu Haiyu is not a ghost body, and the dark light crystal in Feng Mingyuan has no inhibitory effect on Liu Haiyu's body." The calculating general Bo Luo was a little confused.

But as a minister of the great emperor, General Bo Luo could only obey his arrangements.

...

At this moment, the entire crystal altar shook violently.

And the countless crystal tiles on the ground changed from the original transparent state to colorful colors.

The eighth prince stared at the crystal altar with his big eyes without blinking.

"Father, why is this?" The eighth prince, who was just a child, was frightened by the vibration in front of him, and his little face was pale.

"You grew up in a commoner's family and have seen less of the world. This is just a sign that the formation is about to be activated. The opportunity we are waiting for is coming soon. Don't be afraid, my child." The emperor said kindly.

Above the altar, in the empty void, a water ripple appeared, and an eight-sided prism about ten feet in size appeared.

The eight-sided prism was suspended in the air, slowly rotating, like a magic weapon for offering sacrifices to the sky.

After a while, a strange image was reflected in the eight-sided prism.

A huge black-scaled dragon was sealed in a huge crystal. The black-scaled dragon was tightly bound by eight silver chains, motionless, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a cluster of white spiritual light appeared in the picture, and a group of silver-white filaments appeared in the spiritual light, rushing towards the sleeping black-scaled dragon. After that, those white filaments covered the black-scaled dragon's body like white gauze as soon as they touched it, and more and more like a tide. After a whole stick of incense, the hundred-foot-long body of the black-scaled dragon was completely covered by silver-white thin lines, just like a heavy snow that turned the whole earth into a white piece, without a trace of black, mysterious and magical. But the huge body of the black-scaled dragon was clearly shrinking rapidly. In the end, it shrank into a sphere of an inch in size, and the white thin lines outside the sphere seemed to have exhausted their energy, flickering and gradually disappearing.

…

Immediately, the picture in the eight-sided prism changed, and the eyes were full of endless sea water, with huge waves of ten feet rolling everywhere, and the sea water covered the sky.

It was even more violent than the East China Sea, and more vast and boundless than the East China Sea. It was the world of sea water, and it seemed that there was no room for other existences.

In the center of this sea water world, there stood a huge crystal island. The island was covered with crystals of various colors and sizes. In the middle, on a huge flat white crystal, there was a gray-black scaled dragon that was a hundred feet long and had eight identical heads. At this time, the eight-headed beast was sleeping, and a blood-red halo appeared on its neck, as if there was a huge wound that could not heal for a long time.

I saw that the huge white crystal under the eight-headed beast was gradually filled with blood-red. The blood-red color became more and more, and it turned into a rolling blood wave. And in the blood wave, it seemed that there was a sleeping black dragon beast groaning. When the blood filled the entire white huge crystal, a trace of blood flew out through the crystal and fell on the wound on the neck of the eight-headed beast.

The wound of the beast healed quickly with the supply of these blood lines.

After a while, the wound of the eight-headed beast was restored to its original state. It shook its eight heads, and an unparalleled demonic aura rose from its body, causing the entire Crystal Island to shake.

The next moment, the eight-headed beast flew up, and the eight heads looked around, and their spirits were flying. Suddenly, a monstrous gray-black demonic aura was raised, which attracted the sea surface of the surrounding hundred miles and raised a hundred-foot wave.

"I, Yaqi, finally woke up again. Hehehe!" The giant beast shouted, and then burst into a strange laugh.

The strange laugh was entangled with the sound of the surrounding waves, and the whole world was only violent.

...

On the altar.

The Eighth Prince, who saw the scene in the eight-sided prism, was not afraid at all.

"Father, the eight-headed beast is the totem of our royal family. I know it." The Eighth Prince pointed to the high corner with his little hand and said.

"That's right, my child. That is the Eight-headed Scaled Dragon Ancestor Beast, the source of our Eight-headed lineage's power. Legend has it that a long time ago, our ancestors accepted the blood power of the Eight-headed Scaled Dragon Ancestor Beast, and we had powerful power and could be passed down in this East China Sea for ten thousand years. We got the luck of the Eight-headed Scaled Dragon Ancestor Beast, and our offerings and faith also made the Eight-headed Scaled Dragon Ancestor Beast more powerful." The great emperor explained patiently.

...

In the depths of Fengmingyuan.

Guigu Changyang immediately sensed the changes hundreds of miles away.

At this moment, the Gray Scaled Dragon that was resting in the demon sword on his waist suddenly spoke.

"Guigu boy, I feel that the situation has changed. These princes activated the Eight-branched Scaled Dragon Formation, and after adding the power of the mermaid, they almost sucked the blood soul power of the black big guy dry, and sent these blood soul powers back to the alien space through the formation. Judging from the fluctuation of the spiritual power that returned, it should be from my hometown, the Evil Spirit Realm. And just now you should have felt that the breath of the Eight-branched Scaled Dragon appeared hundreds of miles away. These princes are not here to stop us, but should be used to awaken the eight-headed monster."

"Yuye, you are right. I just wonder if Liu Haiyu has found Yun Qiaoer? As you said, Yun Qiaoer's mermaid power has also been extracted, and the current situation should not be optimistic. Use your ability to accurately locate the location of the black-scaled dragon. Yun Qiaoer should be not far from the black-scaled dragon." Guigu Changyang said.
