Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 312: Ancient Power

Chapter 312: Ancient Power

"So, what did I get from the battle just now?"
"Substantial amount of ancient power. It's different with Dragon Power but with it, you'll be able to hide your dragon aura that your twin brother detected."
"Oh?" Lin Xiao had known that Prince Lin San was capable to detect his dragon power. That was the sole reason why Prince Lin San had decided to take a gamble in the end by picking him and not the other princes.
By some luck, it turned out that they were brothers related by blood and that it was obvious for Prince Lin San to be helping him.
"How?"
"Sense the power inside your body first."
"Hmmm." Lin Xiao sat in lotus position and began to inspect his own body. Flowing inside his meridian was now a large amount of ancient power that was not merging with his Qi. It felt mystical and at the same time, it was such a powerful force.
He could sense that it was different from Qi and yet at the same time, it was also very similar.
"Guide it to your head."
"Head? Not my dantian?"
"Head."
Lin Xiao didn't understand why but he followed Lin Hu's instruction. The ancient power that was directed to his head then slowly gathered there. It caused slight pain on Lin Xiao's body but it slowly headed to his forehead.
The crown mark on Lin Xiao's forehead shone as the ancient power merged inside. Slowly but surely, the two power gathered together there with the ancient power stayed at the front of the Dragon Power.
*pant* *pant*
Lin Xiao swore that the longer he stayed with Lin Hu, the more his head would experience so much pain that he felt like dying. He glared at the dragon inside his consciousness but Lin Hu merely snorted.
"Your Dragon Power is now covered and no one will be able to sense it that well anymore even if they're using Eyes of Truth. Naturally, if you meet someone who are above Golden Core Stage… this kind of protection is not enough."
"Can't I use the ancient power to strengthen myself."
"Nice idea but you already use the dragon power. It'll be useless to use the ancient power because it's weaker. Rather than strengthening your body, you better use it to hide your dragon power.
Ancient power can be used for many things but for someone like you, you should just utilize the hidden/disguise technique that was within the ancient power. By using the disguise capability, you might be able to disguise yourself as other people easily."
"Won't they notice the ancient power in my body?"
"No. The ancient power is like a mix of power that's canceling each other. That way, they'll be able to mask the smell from other power. Since it's a complete mix, it's such a perfect method to hide your strength."
Lin Xiao nodded in agreement. However, he felt that even controlling a little bit was so hard as he knew that there were still many inside his body. It was already good enough that he could use a little bit to cover his Dragon Power.
Lin Hu noticed Lin Xiao's dilemma. "You will need more time to absorb it all and make it yours."
"I know."
Lin Xiao stood up and looked at the two doors. The first one was written: The next treasure room while the second one was written: Return back to the intersection before the treasure room.
Looking at it, Lin Xiao grinned and naturally picked the left side. If there were more treasure waiting for him, he would surely pick that side.
"Wait, recover your Qi first."
"Eh?"
Lin Xiao then noticed that his Qi was depleted as if what happened just now was not an illusion but real. He pursed his lips and then sat down before taking one Low Grade Spirit Stones. Within a minute, he had spent three Low Grade Spirit Stones and his Qi recovered.
"Why do I feel that I need more Qi now?"
"The amount of Qi you can store had increased through training and battles you have." Lin Hu was not surprised. "Do you really think that you'll stay in the same stage for a long time."
Lin Xiao: "…" obviously no.
He chose not to say anything to the dragon anymore as he walked and pushed the door open.
Entering the large hall, Lin Xiao was stunned to see that he was not alone there. He could see Prince Lin San, Mu Xiao Ya, Lei Xing Yi, and also a group of unknown youth.
"There's someone else who's here."
"Tsk, more competitor."
Lin Xiao quickly swept his gaze across the hall. He noticed that the hall was big like before but there were no three doors like before. Instead there was only one stone platform and a door that was at least 5 meters high and 3 meters wide. It was so large as if it was made for giants.
His eyes naturally landed on the text that was carved on the door frame. It was so long that Lin Xiao himself was stunned.
'The Door towards Ancient Battlefield. If you think of yourself as someone who can survive in the most brutal battlefield, this is the best place for you. Tempering your body and heart so that you can survive even without your cultivation.'
Without cultivation?
Lin Xiao furrowed his eyebrows as he could feel chill on his back. He could still remember his helpless self when he was young and couldn't do anything to help his parents and younger brother. He had to work hard if he wished to survive and cultivation was the method to grow stronger.
Without his cultivation, would he return back to his previously weak self?
The test must be not simple if such domineering words were said on the door and those who could survive would become a demon on earth.
Pushing his feelings down, Lin Xiao looked at the others in the same room with him to inspect them.
