Chapter 1131 - 514: Sixteen Dragon Sons, The Remnant Soul of Yi Zhao
[The giant stele rested upon a central base, with more than ten narrow stone bridges radiating out to buildings resembling mausoleums.]
[These mausoleum-like buildings appeared fantastical, as if they did not truly exist.]
[Atop each mausoleum stood a massive statue of a different exotic beast, resembling dragons yet not dragons, having both dragon-like traits and distinct features of other species.]
[You saw a colossal monster statue with the head of a dragon and the body of a fish, as well as monstrous forms that resembled giant turtles with dragon heads and dragon scales, and even godly and bizarre creatures with the heads of dragons and the bodies of wolves or lions...]
[The stele bore the inscription: Ancient legends speak of the Dragon giving birth to nine offspring, but nine is but a symbolic number; in reality, the Dragon had numerous descendants, among which sixteen were the direct progeny of the first generation.]
[These included Qiuniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suan Ni, Ba Xia, Bihou, Fuxi, Chiwen, Taotie, Gongfeng, Jiao Tu, Chi, Hou, Kylin, Pixiu.]
[The sixteen scions were born of unions between the Dragon and great demons such as oxen, wolves, birds, toads, lions, turtles, tigers, fish, etc., each Dragon Son possessing their own Great Divine Power...]
Upon reading this, Lin Xun couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, mockingly thinking to himself that the old dragon really wasn’t picky, capable of reproducing with just about anything, unconcerned with barriers like species isolation or aesthetic differences between races.
On second thought, it wasn’t much of an issue in this world where great demons could transform, becoming handsome men or beautiful women; reproducing was akin to creating subordinates and a workforce.
