　　Although he didn’t get a direct answer, Cangzhou’s words undoubtedly confirmed Xu Taiping’s guess from the side.
For a while, Xu Taiping’s mood became inexplicably heavy.
　　After staring intently at Xu Taiping for a moment, Cangzhou suddenly showed a hint of compassion in his eyes and gently shook his head and said：
You all today are so similar to us yesterday when we intended to lead the whole clan to the chaotic land outside the sky to find a way to break the situation.”
　　As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Master Xuanzhi aside and then said expressionlessly：
　　“Little monk, if you still have spare strength, help cover it up.”
　　Master Xuanzhi immediately recalled and without saying a word, took out the golden bowl and the golden pestle, and then struck the golden bowl with the golden pestle as before.
　　“Dang！”
With the ring of a clear strike sound the area within a radius of more than ten feet centered on the three people was shrouded in a cloud of golden mist.
　　Seeing that Cangzhou suddenly became so cautious, Xu Taiping became even more curious about Cangzhou’s next move.
　　Just then, seeing that the situation here could not be sensed from the outside world, Cangzhou suddenly took out a brocade box from his wide sleeve and handed it to Xu Taiping, explaining：
　　“On the tortoise shell in this brocade box, there is a star map engraved. As long as you search according to that star map, you can find the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasure Vault of my Dragon Clan.”
　　Xu Taiping was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had misheard, so he confirmed to Cangzhou：
　　“You mean, this is the star map of the location of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasure Vault？”
　　Cangzhou nodded with a smile.
　　Xu Taiping took the brocade box with an incredulous look on his face.
　　Opening it, he found that as Cangzhou said, this was exactly a tortoise shell with a star map engraved on it.
　　And judging from the strong spiritual energy exuding from this tortoise shell, the tortoise shell itself was very likely also a very precious treasure.
　　So Xu Taiping asked Cangzhou very puzzled：
　　“Why are you entrusting such a precious thing to me？”
　　For the Upper Clarity cultivation world, whether it is the upper realm or the lower realm, the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasure Vault of the Dragon Clan has always been recognized as one of the several great lost secrets of the Upper Clarity.
　　Cangzhou heard this and said with a nonchalant expression：
　　“The Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasure Vault was already exhausted during the hundreds of thousands of years of fighting against your human race. Now there is only a pile of remnants with depleted spiritual power left.”
　　Saying that, Cang Zhou reached out and held the Silver Dragon Sword, and with a look of regret on his face, he stretched out his fingers and wiped them across the cracked sword body.
　　Then, in Xu Taiping’s very confused gaze, Cang Zhou raised his head again and looked at him and said：
　　The reason for telling you the location of the Seven Mansions Treasury is because the clue related to the secret of the Ancestral Dragon that I searched for with the strength of my entire clan back then is sealed in this Seven Mansions Treasury.
　　As soon as these words came out, Xu Taiping became even more unable to remain calm.
　　Because compared with the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasury, the secret of the Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Clan is even more an existence that only exists in the ancient legends.
　　So Xu Taiping, very vigilantly confirmed to Cang Zhou again and said：
　　Why are you telling me this？
　　If it is said that telling him the location of the Seven Mansions Treasury is because there are no treasures left in the Seven Mansions Treasury, Xu Taiping can barely understand.
　　But even the intelligence of the location of the secret of the Ancestral Dragon, which is enough to stir up the Three Realms, is also willing to tell himself. Even if Xu Taiping racks his brains, he can’t figure out why.
　　Cang Zhou looked at Xu Taiping’s confused look and suddenly laughed heartily.
　　But as he was laughing, the look in his eyes and on his face was gradually replaced by bitterness.
　　Then, it was as if Cangzhou had aged hundreds of years in an instant. He looked up at the sky with a very heavy tone and said：
　　“The way of heaven is unpredictable, the way of heaven is unpredictable…”
　　As he spoke, he once again looked at Xu Taiping, who was beside him with a confused face, and then a flash of “hatred” appeared in his eyes as he said：
　　“Back then, in order to fight against your powerful human race, I abandoned the Azure Dragon Dragon Court and went to the chaotic land outside the sky to search hard for the secret of the Ancestral Dragon for thousands of years.”
　　“For this, I and the two thousand elite dragon race under my command did not hesitate to enter the dead domain outside the sky and search one secret realm after another. We watched helplessly as these two thousand elite dragon race were damaged and lost in those secret realms until there were less than a few hundred left.”
　　“Later, we finally found the most important clue. As long as we returned to the lower realm and found the treasure that could open it, we could find that secret of the Ancestral Dragon.”
But the ridiculous thing is that on the way we were preparing to go to the lower realm a wandering in the chaotic dead domain killed all the elite dragon race including me.
　　“Only I, relying on the means of the master of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasure Vault, let a wisp of my soul wander in the chaotic land for tens of thousands of years before finally returning to the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions Treasure Vault and parasitizing on this Silver Dragon Sword.”
　　“And by this time, the dragon race had long been wiped out by the human race, and even the true dragon bloodline had not been able to be preserved.”
　　Although the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan were enemies.
　　But after hearing Cangzhou’s desperate account, Xu Taiping and the others still felt a sigh in their hearts.
　　After a moment of silence, Cangzhou suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with a serious expression and said：
　　“Don’t worry, the True Dragon Bloodline has long been severed, and there can no longer be True Dragons in the world. So even if the Ancestral Dragon’s Legacy is found, the Dragon Clan can no longer rule this world.”
　　Regarding this point that Cangzhou said, Xu Taiping actually understood it too.
　　But the Dragon Clan back then was really too powerful, and he had to be vigilant.
　　At this time, Cangzhou continued to say：
　　“As for why I told you all this, the reason is simple.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately set aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and looked at Cangzhou with burning eyes.
　　After a slight pause, Cangzhou opened his mouth and explained：
　　“Just like Cangyuan’s soul did not disperse for tens of thousands of years because of a single obsession, I also have an obsession in my heart. That is to see that Ancestral Dragon’s Legacy with my own eyes.”
　　“Now the spiritual power of my remaining soul is almost exhausted, so I want to borrow your hand to find that Ancestral Dragon’s Legacy, fulfill my obsession, and be able to go to the Dragon’s Resting Place.”
　　After hearing Cangzhou’s explanation, Xu Taiping secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
　　Although what Cang Zhou said may not be completely believable, judging from the aura emitted by his soul, at least his words “the spiritual power of this strand of remnant soul is about to be exhausted” are most likely true.
　　However, when Xu Taiping thought of helping Cang Zhou find the secret of the Ancestral Dragon, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said：
　　“Emperor Cang Zhou, you still think too highly of me. With my current cultivation level, I’m afraid that I will have already lost my soul before even entering the Dead Zone.”
　　He has already learned a lot about the terrifying chaos outside the sky from Dongfang Yuejian and the others.
　　And this Dead Zone is just like its name. Even a half-immortal who enters it will have a slim chance of survival.
　　So when he heard that Cang Zhou wanted him to help find the secret of the Ancestral Dragon, Xu Taiping refused without even thinking about it.
　　Cang Zhou, who was rejected, just smiled faintly, and then stared at Xu Taiping with his eyes and said：
　　“Do you want to know the second reason why I chose you？”
　　When Xu Taiping heard this, he looked at Cang Zhou in confusion.
　　Cang Zhou didn’t play tricks and directly said：
　　“Because the treasure that we originally wanted to return to the lower realm to find is now in your hands.”
　　Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment and asked curiously：
　　“What　is　it？”
　　Cang Zhou stared at Xu Taiping without blinking and said：
　　“The　Dragon-Trapping　Tower.”
