Li Huowang brought the flame closer to the very end of the Dragon Vein, allowing him to see the first Emperor of Da Liang more clearly.
It was obvious that the emperor's face had completely lost any human resemblance. It could be considered draconic, but not quite—it looked more like a twisted, distorted dragon's face. Slender dragon whiskers, like stitching threads, wove beneath the dragon scales, twisting the surface of the golden scales into grotesque shapes. Its seven dragon claws had joints that bent backward, and the number of talons on each claw varied.
At this moment, Li Sui explained to Li Huowang, "The Dragon Veins are passed down from generation to generation. If anyone can learn the truth about the past, it can only be found here, on the Dragon Vein itself."
