Omnipotent Husband System-Chapter 437: Dragon Hall.

Hao Ren raised his brow and the old led him calmly before coming to a big hall. Elder Shen said, "This place is called Dragon Tower. The tower has hundred layers and they are spread underneath here. In the final layer is the source of the baleful aura, that damned Severence Dragon."

Hao Ren sensed that old man Shen hated this dragon with great passion, and asked, "Elder, why is this dragon sealed here?"

Elder Shen clenched his fist and said begrudgingly, "Because two thousand years ago, this thing laid waste to the Samsara Dynasty, reducing it into the shallow mess of Emotional kingdom. That is why."

Hao Ren's curiosity was sparked up. Elder Shen said, "You can read all this in the library of the Dragon Hall of you join us. Come. Let us go there first."

After moving around for a bit they came to a building that seemed to have jumped out from the ancient Roman temple designs. Elder Shen climbed the stairs quickly, and Hao Ren followed him with patience. After climbing three hundred steps, they stood before a wooden gate where a dragon was carved.

The dragon scales were all real and they gave off a very imposing aura. Hao Ren frowned a little before he sensed the baleful aura flooding from them. Elder Shen said, "These scales are the alarm left behind to display the lifespan of the seal cast upon the dragon. The day the aura vanishes radiating from them. The dragon will rise and we all will fall."

Hao Ren used the Yin and Yang eyes to find the intensity of the aura and he found it was all really strong. He thought of something and then asked, "Elder, are all these scales pinched off the dragon?"

The old man looked at him and asked, "Has anybody told you to think twice before spitting the ideas out of your mouth?"

Hao Ren revealed a sheepish smile and Elder Shen said, "They were picked up after the battle with the dragons."

Hao Ren nodded and then Elder Shen pushed the door open. Hao Ren found a minimalistic hall behind the doors. He was surprised and the old man said, "Dragon Hall was the original force set up by the ancestors to make sure that Severance Dragon is caged for his entire life. Second mandate is to try to get stronger and kill it."

Hao Ren nodded, and Elder Shen continued, "Don't look down on us, because we have simple decorations. The Dragon Hall dedicates all that they have into practicing and getting stronger so that one day we can kill that bloody reptile."

The young man made an assessment that the change in temperament that was getting obvious in Elder Shen's speech came from the influence of the Baleful Aura. The Elder said, "I will not waste time on telling you who is who, and what other forces are there."

He waved his hand, and cast a Jade token at Hao Ren and said, "Take this, enter the library, and read all that you want. You have two hours, after that, you can find me here, and I will introduce you to the benefits of joining the Dragon Hall."

Hao Ren thanked him and then saw Elder Shan say, "Old Gun, take this kid to the library."

An old dog stood up from the side, and then walked up to Hao Ren, he looked at him from head to toe, and then gestured him to follow.

Hao Ren followed the old dog, but instead of thinking about what the history of this place was, he was curious to know how this dog survived in this harsh environment. The world wasn't a friendly place to the weak. This dog seemed to be a few hundred years old to him, by sensing his bones, Hao Ren concluded.

Don't think of him as someone stupid, dogs may be spirit beasts, but they didn't rank anywhere among the rest of the beasts that roamed the mirage world. While he was pondering over this topic, they reached a room. The dog growled, and Hao Ren said, "Thank you."

Then he went inside the room. Old Gun looked at the place where Hao Ren was standing and vanished from his spot to appear back before Old Shen and a voice came from him, "Kid Shen, you have done god this time. He is a good seed."

Elder Shen wiped his sweat and said, "Elder Gun, why do you always have to trick them like this?"

The dog shook his head and said, "Master left the place under my care, I tried to take in people, and they robbed the Dragon Hall of its rightful glory. That was the time that I understood how cunning humans were. How they put their self interest before the rest. Weren't you the same as them? That is why you are still serving the punishment."

Old Shen chuckled wryly.

…

In the library, Hao Ren was going through books at a blinding speed, he found that the Kingdom of Emotions was earlier known as the Samsara Destiny which was ten times bigger than Hao Ren's Crescent Moon Empire.

However, good days don't last forever, and a young prince fancied a Dragon Egg, he stole it, and the dragon chased him. Too bad that the prince didn't realize that the dragon egg was dead. The dragon was grieving her child.

The prince had stolen the dead child from her, and thus she was enraged. The dragon lay waste to everything and everyone in her wake. The chase lasted for seven days, and the entire dynasty was destroyed. A power that could change the fates of people, was given such an end. Hao Ren spat in the face of the greedy prince.

However, back then one cultivator couldn't stand the endless slaughter, and he fought with the dragon. He managed to suppress her, and seal her with his dao laws. The sealed pit was later transformed into a layered labyrinth where spirit beasts from different regions were kept based on their strength. The stronger the beast, the closer they would be on the layers.

Hao Ren then found out about the two commandments of the Dragon Hall, and nodded in understanding.

Then he found the books based on the five powers, they were just small families, but then they began to recruit people who came to challenge the labyrinth and became big forces. They were called Wang, Liu, Shen, Long, Wu.

Hao Ren clucked his tongue and then began to read about the various beasts stored in the labyrinth. He found that they would reproduce and with the aid of the dragon energy they would be stronger than the normal ones outside.

The labyrinth was designed so that the beasts could absorb the power radiated by the dragon, and humans could gain glory and practice their skills.

After a couple of hours, Leo found out that the people slayed beasts to gain Dragon Energy, and they got stronger as well. Well, now he could understand why and how the five houses work, they were using their accumulated strength to farm energy and that was how they were getting bigger and stronger everyday.

After reading for a bit, the young man stepped out of the library, and walked up to the reception hall, where he bowed to Old Shen and said, "Thank you for imparting this knowledge to me, Elder, but I would like to be impudent and ask you for a favor."

Elder Shen raised his brow and nodded, and Hao Ren asked, "Can I enter the Labyrinth and see how I fare on my own before joining the Dragon Hall?"

Old Shen was shocked but then he nodded and said, "You may."

Hao Ren clasped his fists and left to explore the so called labyrinth.
