Deep within the endless magma, a colossal figure, seemingly capable of overwhelming the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range and stretching for thousands of miles, suddenly opened its eyes, glancing upwards as if sensing something.
Then, it slowly extended a colossal claw that blotted out the sky. With its movement, the entire space seemed to tremble, except for a cocoon within that space, shimmering with a purple-gold light, which remained unmoved.
"Thump, thump, thump,"
as the colossal claw retracted, the sound of several figures landing echoed, and the enormous figure rapidly shrank, transforming into a noble, dignified middle-aged man.
Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor still saw the astonishingly massive form. "Is this... Zi Yan's father?"
"Lin Feng, what brings you here this time?"
The old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun glanced at Lin Feng, though he somewhat reluctantly acknowledged him, he was surprised that he had brought two women with him. Moreover, judging from her appearance, she must be Lin Feng's lover. He was immediately furious. If it weren't for the two little girls, he would definitely have taught her a lesson.
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."
"Stop!" Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Zhu Kun waved his hand slightly to interrupt him. "Lin Feng, you should call me Uncle!"
"Yes, Uncle!"
Lin Feng quickly replied, his face beaming with joy. With the old Dragon Emperor's approval, things would be much easier from now on!
"Uncle, we have come here to inquire whether Zi Yan has emerged from seclusion," Lin Feng slowly explained the reason, then mentioned Qing Lin's Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, which aroused Zhu Kun's curiosity.
"A descendant of humans and snake people, with the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil? That's quite rare. If there's time, I could send her to Dragon Island. There should still be a few King Blood Serpent Clan members at the Dou Sheng realm there, which could help her quickly reach the Dou Sheng realm!"
At this moment, Zhu Kun was looking at Lin Feng with new eyes. He hadn't expected that the person beside this kid would have the potential to become a Dou Sheng! Thinking of this, Zhu Kun looked at Cai Lin beside him and continued,
"It's just a pity that the Devouring Python Clan to which this little girl belongs has long been wiped out. Even I, the Emperor, didn't know that the Devouring Python's legacy existed there!"
Seeing that Zhu Kun saw through Cai Lin's origins at a glance, Lin Feng was not surprised at all. In fact, if the Devouring Python Clan hadn't been wiped out so early, they might have been torn apart by this brutal Ancient Dragon Emperor of the Void. Don't be
fooled by Zhu Kun's seemingly easy-going appearance now; Lin Feng knew in private how ruthless he was. In fact, the current state of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan might very well be the work of this old Dragon Emperor. Of course, for the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, who revered power, this was definitely a qualified Dragon Emperor!
"Uncle, these are Zi Yan's two older sisters, Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor. They have a very good relationship with Zi Yan!"
Glancing slightly at Lin Feng's smug expression, the shrewd old Zhu Kun immediately understood. While the boy genuinely wanted to visit Zi Yan, he also wanted to bring his family to freeload. At this moment, as an elder, if he didn't offer some benefits, he would be looked down upon.
"Well, two little girls, you can call me Uncle, just like this Lin Feng!" With that, Zhu Kun waved his hand, and two beams of purple-gold light shot towards Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor, floating before them.
"This is a small token of my appreciation. If you absorb it, reaching the Dou Zun level in a short time will be effortless. Of course, it can also save your lives in times of crisis!"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Upon seeing the purple-gold blood droplet before them and sensing the powerful energy fluctuations within, Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor bowed and expressed their gratitude.
After Cai Lin and the other person absorbed the item into their bodies, Lin Feng continued, "Uncle, besides visiting Zi Yan, I also hope to use this precious land to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the peak of the Mortal Realm!"
"Oh," Zhu Kun listened, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, "I have traveled the Great Thousand Worlds and know about the distinctions in the human race's soul realm. It seems that after reaching the Spirit Realm, one can attempt to refine eighth-grade pills. And you, judging by human age, are just a young man, yet you have already reached this stage. It seems you have some talent in the art of pill refining!"
Then, before Lin Feng could respond, Zhu Kun continued, "Unfortunately, my demon beast race is not naturally skilled in soul power. Otherwise, I could give you a few soul secret techniques!"
"However, when Zi Yan grows up in the future, you can cultivate a powerful secret technique called Dragon's Might with her!"
"Dragon's Might!?"
"Indeed, this method not only attacks the physical body, but also, due to the majesty of the dragon race, has a great restraining effect on the soul!"
Zhu Kun explained the dragon's might to Lin Feng and the others in detail, without finding it tedious. After all, he had endured thousands of years of solitude, and finally having someone to talk to was something he wanted to do for three days and three nights.
Of course, this was also because Lin Feng and the others possessed extraordinary talent, all destined to become Dou Sheng, and were close to Zi Yan. Otherwise, Zhu Kun's first action would have been to ask,
"Did the visitor bring the Ancient Emperor Jade?"
Upon hearing that no Ancient Emperor Jade had been brought, he spat out another mouthful of scorching flame, burning the visitor to ashes.
Thinking of this, Zhu Kun glanced at the serene Little Fairy Doctor beside him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes once more. He had traveled the Great Thousand Years, and naturally had witnessed the Calamity Poison Body before, even personally witnessing the final eruption of a Calamity Poison Body—the scene was, tsk tsk tsk, utterly indescribable!
He, of course, had the ability to seal that small Calamity Poison Body back then. Of course, the arrogant Ancient Dragon Emperor of the Void only glanced at it briefly before heading into the depths of space. What did this Calamity Poison Body have to do with him?
Now, seeing another Calamity Poison Body, its fate was completely different. It had actually fused with the strange flame of heaven and earth—the Netherworld Poison Fire—and the two had even achieved a wondrous symbiosis, destined to become a future Dou Sheng seed, truly remarkable.
"Thinking about it, it seems like nearly ten thousand years have passed since then!"
From Lin Feng and the others' perspective, they saw Zhu Kun suddenly fall silent, exuding an aura of reminiscence and vicissitude, which made them feel somewhat strange.
"Lin Feng, you'll remain here in seclusion from now on!"
Zhu Kun finished speaking, then seemed to remember something. "As for the two little girls, if there's nothing else, I can summon those lizardmen to hone their combat skills at the Dou Zong realm!"
The ancient dragon Taixu, with its extremely rich combat experience, immediately saw the common weakness of Lin Feng and the others: their Dou Qi progress was quite rapid, and their foundations seemed solid. However, in the eyes of this battle maniac, it was extremely superficial. Even ten thousand years ago, when he was at the Dou Huang realm, he could have easily defeated them.
Thinking that Zi Yan would be traveling with them in the future, he was tempted to give her some training. He figured that seeing this would surely bring Zi Yan closer to her father!
"Thank you, Uncle!"
