Chapter 1954 Growth
Biting her lip, Yun Niu grappled with the unexpected revelation. Previously unaware of her lineage, she now faced the possibility of being linked to the Dragon God Clan. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎
To prevent her from being overwhelmed, Yun Lintian diverted the conversation. “How are things here, Grandma?”
“Everything is progressing smoothly with a healthy spirit of competition,” Yun Xia responded.
Nodding slightly, Yun Lintian scanned the Azure World with his spiritual sense, quickly locating familiar faces like Lin Canghai and Yang Gouming. They appeared to be thriving.
“Grandma,” he began, “would you consider leaving with us? You’ve been here for quite some time, and I could find someone to oversee the Azure World in your absence.”
Yun Xia gently shook her head. “This is where I belong. This world needs a protector you can trust, and that, unfortunately, is your burden.”
“Very well,” Yun Lintian conceded. “Remember, you can always access the Moon God Realm through the Land of Beyond Heaven if you require anything.”
“Take Niu’er with you,” Yun Xia advised. “This world is too small for her potential.”
Apprehension washed over Yun Niu. The thought of leaving Yun Xia filled her with unease.
Smiling, Yun Xia reassured her, “Don’t you want to learn about your heritage?”
Yun Niu shook her head firmly, her voice trembling slightly. “It doesn’t matter. I only want to stay with you.”
Yun Xia offered a warm smile and patted Yun Niu’s head. “My dear girl, you’ve blossomed into a young woman. It’s time to discover your purpose in life. You can’t remain here forever.”
Yun Niu’s eyes welled up, her head hung low.
“Remember,” Yun Lintian interjected softly, “this isn’t a permanent goodbye. You can return whenever you wish.”
With a heavy heart, Yun Niu murmured her agreement.
“Go,” Yun Xia said gently. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝒓𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝒎
“We’ll be taking our leave first,” Yun Lintian acknowledged, stepping into the gate with Long Qingxuan.
“I’ll come visit you often, Grandma,” Yun Niu promised softly before following Yun Lintian through the gate.
As the gate vanished, Yun Xia gazed up at the sky. “It brings me joy to know you’ve grown stronger, brother,” she whispered.
Upon returning to the Land of Beyond Heaven, Yun Lintian wasted no time and went directly to the Moon God Realm.
Arriving at Divine Moon Peak, Yun Lintian immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere.
“There you are, Yun Boy.” Master Bai greeted, sipping his tea from a nearby pavilion. He had fully recovered and reconstructed his body.
Ouyang Feng, who had also undergone a complete physical reconstruction, sat beside him.
“Congratulations on your recovery,” Yun Lintian acknowledged. “What happened here? The atmosphere seems tense.”
“That little girl Hongyue is not in a good mood recently,” Master Bai chuckled.
“Oh?” Yun Lintian expressed his curiosity.
“Qin Juehai has managed to escape,” Master Bai revealed. “He exploited the legacy left behind by Jian Yun to breach the Divine Realm’s barrier. His escape was so clandestine that it went completely undetected.”
Yun Lintian was taken aback. He had entrusted Qin Juehai’s case to Hongyue and hadn’t anticipated his swift escape. It was understandable why Hongyue was upset.
“Well, well, Little Niu! Look at you, you’ve become a beautiful young woman now,” Master Bai exclaimed, gazing at Yun Niu with a warm smile.
“Thank you, Uncle Bai,” Yun Niu responded sweetly.
Master Bai’s expression morphed into surprise as he detected the faint dragon aura from Yun Niu. “What happened?”
Yun Lintian proceeded to explain the situation to Master Bai.
After listening to the explanation, Master Bai’s astonishment grew evident. “Ah, that explains the strange feeling I had back then.”
“What is your plan?” Master Bai inquired.
Taking a moment to ponder, Yun Lintian offered his solution, “I think it’s best to leave Niuniu to Senior Lin and Senior Lan for the time being.”
“Well, that’s a good idea.” Master Bai readily agreed.
Yun Lintian turned to Yun Niu and Long Qingxuan. “Stay here for a moment. I need to check on Hongyue first.”
With that, his figure vanished in a flash, leaving them behind.
Upon reaching the moon chamber where Hongyue resided, Yun Lintian found her sitting there with a clear frown etched on her face.
“You’ve returned,” she acknowledged, looking at him. “How was your journey?”
“It went well. We recently acquired a new profound ark and are nearing the Nine Heavens Realm,” Yun Lintian replied. “What’s troubling you?”
“That wretched Qin Juehai!” Hongyue fumed. “He sacrificed the Sword God Realm to exploit the residual power left behind by Jian Yun, allowing him to breach the wall.”
“Well, that’s unfortunate.” Yun Lintian said gently. “Don’t worry. We will find him in no time.”
“Are you leaving already?” Hongyue inquired.
“I want to check in on my Fifth Sister first,” Yun Lintian explained. “It’s been quite some time since I last saw her.”
“Go ahead,” Hongyue conceded. “Inform me when you arrive at the Nine Heavens Realm.”
With a dismissive wave, she closed her eyes.
After a moment’s thought, Yun Lintian offered, “If you’re bored, you can join me. I’ve placed the gate inside the profound ark.”
“Hmm,” Hongyue simply responded.
Without further delay, Yun Lintian activated the gate and transported himself to the Neverending Burning Hell.
Upon entering the Golden Crow Temple, a scorching phoenix flame greeted him immediately. Yun Lintian effortlessly deflected the flame with a wave of his hand and quickly located Nantian Fengyu.
He found her engulfed in the Phoenix flames, her entire body glowing a vibrant crimson, seemingly one with the fire itself.
To his surprise, Nantian Fengyu had already reached the Divine Emperor Realm’s first level.
Suddenly, a deafening phoenix cry ripped through the air as Nantian Fengyu opened her eyes. The sound caused Yun Lintian’s soul to tremble, and the Divine Phoenix’s soul within him resonated in response.
“Junior Brother,” Nantian Fengyu greeted with a joyful smile upon recognizing Yun Lintian.
“Fifth Sister,” he returned the greeting. “How have you become so powerful in such a short time?”
“I’m unsure,” Nantian Fengyu shook her head. “The Phoenix’s soul within me awoke, and ever since, my profound strength has risen dramatically.”
“However, I’ve encountered a bottleneck,” Nantian Fengyu explained. “This place is no longer suitable.”
“Do you want to come with me to the Nine Heavens Realm?” Yun Lintian offered.
“The Nine Heavens Realm?” Nantian Fengyu echoed, her voice laced with confusion. Her seclusion had left her unaware of recent developments.
Yun Lintian provided a concise summary of the situation.
“Let’s go then,” Nantian Fengyu rose to her feet.
