"He really did it…" a man muttered when he saw the Dragon Pavilion Hall's door opened. How many years has it been since there was a prince who could open the Dragon Pavilion Hall?

After the other four princes there, it was clear that there hasn't been anyone who had enough Dragon Power to open the door. Now, they were clear that there was another prince who could possibly contend for the throne.

Four princes, down to three, now back to four.

How lively would it be?

"He opened it…" Lin Yun thought that his brother would not open the door and only stood there, acting as if he couldn't open the door. He furrowed his brows. This would make them even more eye catching, wouldn't it?

Lu Jian took a deep breath. His eyes twinkled with mischievous glint. "Heh, it seems that it's time for me to pay a visit to some families."

Princess Lan Yi Hua passed a look at Lu Jian. She naturally could see that Lu Jian was someone who liked to socialize and didn't have that much importance placed on his own cultivation. Thanks to his decent talent, he was able to reach this far.

If his talent was lower… he might not be able to get good result in his cultivation.

Fan Ling turned her head around. There was a servant from her family who was standing not far from her, watching the Dragon Pavilion Hall with a dumbstruck expression. When he sensed the Fan family princess looking in his direction, he let out a dry laugh.

Cupping his fist, he then flew away.

'Hmm, Grandfather will hear about this news soon. I wonder how he would react afterwards.' Fan Ling was also having fun guessing how her grandfather reaction would be.

Many other servants were heading back to their respective master.

No matter what, it was clear that from today on, there would be an additional prince who could be the Crown Prince and contend for the throne. An unexpected variable had suddenly appeared.

But it was not a matter for the current Lin Xiao. 

Once he was inside, Lin Xiao closed the door. The previously dark room turned dim as if there was source of light inside the room that would immediately lit up upon detecting someone entering.

At this time, Lin Hu also spoke, 'Oh, you can get in. And here I thought that you won't be able to get in again.'

'LIN HU!'

The dragon didn't even bother looking at the annoyed human beside him. He glanced into the room with interest. "How long since it been that I entered Dragon Abode? I didn't think you can enter this room again so quickly."

Lin Xiao was annoyed. "What do you mean by that? Didn't you only need to have enough Dragon Power inside your blood if you want to enter? Also, you're the one who tells me that the ancient power will not hinder me to enter this Dragon Pavilion Hall again"

"Naturally, that's what people usually said, but in truth, you're tested every single time you try to enter this place. If you used to pass but then you didn't, it meant that there's something inside of you that no longer suitable for this place anymore." Lin Hu passed a look at Lin Xiao.

"I did say that the Ancient power will not hinder you to enter but I never said anything whether your qualification used to be the same."

Lin Xiao no longer paid any attention to the dragon. Talking with this dragon was also testing his patience and he was sure that if there was a lake and he could defeat the dragon, he would have long asked for the dragon to have a duel. 

He was looking at the room, which had lines separating eight section. Looking at it made him felt as if he was looking at a large compass because the room was split into eight with one center in the middle. At the floor, Lin Xiao could see different drawings on each path.

He glanced down and noticed that the engravings on the floor below him depicted mountains. It was a faraway mountain that he couldn't recognize and the picture seemed to be blurry. There was a layer of fog that prevented him from seeing the true picture.

It was the same as before.

Lin Xiao mulled internally as he felt that the place was not any different than before. But now that he had already reached Golden Core Stage, would there be something different when he come here?

He was curious. 

Slowly, Lin Xiao walked to the lake section.

Lin Xiao glanced around and noticed that right in front of him, which was the opposite of the mountain's section, was the picture of a lake. Different from other pictures that seemed to be covered in fog, the lake was crystal clear to him. The lake was dark blue in color, sparkling as if it was real water while the surroundings were filled with greenery.

It was so beautiful despite it was only being a picture.

Lin Xiao found himself drawn into the picture unconsciously as he began to walk closer. This time, Lin Hu didn't disturb him as the dragon understood that Lin Xiao was truly the Lake Emperor. The Dragon Abode recognized him as one and allowed the brat to see through the illusions.

'He's still being acknowledged even though he's so mischievous and bratty?' Lin Hu felt so helpless. After the first acknowledgement, he had already felt that the brat was so lucky. Now that Lin Xiao had experienced so many things, he was still being recognized once more…

*sigh*

The Heaven's will was something that he couldn't understand in the slightest bit. But whatever the reason was, he knew that as long as Lin Xiao could survive until the end, the seat was his.

Swish!

The Qi in the air began to move. 

Wind blow and ripples in the air disrupted the surroundings. However, it was not done coarsely, instead, it was like they were singing and dancing to welcome the new Emperor who came here. Even though the new Emperor was still very weak and couldn't do anything yet, the nature had already noticed him.
