The Magic Forest was a magical existence in the Shenwu Continent. For the Longteng Dynasty, it was a place of great significance, because their ancestors had obtained great fortune here and then established a huge holy land of martial arts where people came from all over the world and pay their respects.

“Something is wrong here. Something seems to have happened. Demonic creatures of this level shouldn’t have appeared here.”

After walking for an unknown period of time, Old State Preceptor suddenly said in confusion. Tian Fan looked at the body of a werewolf in the Yuntian Realm at the feet of the old man. There was a blood hole between his eyebrows. It was killed with one shot.

“Well, let’s continue to go inside now. Aotian, remember to be vigilant at any time, or you can let your children go back.”

After receiving the State Preceptor’s order, Long Aotian turned to look at the princes.

“Don’t worry, father. We can protect ourselves. If we retreat in face of such a small matter, how can we face the whole world in the future?” Looking at the eyes of Long Aotian, Long Batian stood up and said proudly. At the same time, he glanced at Tian Fan with disdain.

“I agree with Eldest Brother!” The Second Prince stood up and stood side by side with the Eldest Prince as he declared loudly.

“What about you, Eighth?” Long Aotian asked the little prince.

“I’ll go ahead too.” The little prince was not willing to be outdone. He puffed out his chest and shouted.

“I’ll go too!” Needless to say, Long Yueying would definitely go with them. She was famous for being fearless.

“Good, you are indeed my child. You are bold and courageous, but remember, courage alone is not enough. Sometimes, you should know when to advance and when to retreat, understand?” Long Aotian said majestically as he looked at the children in front of him.

“Yes, Father!” All of them replied in unison.

Tian Fan quietly watched all of this without speaking. Long Aotian didn’t even look at him or ask him anything. Perhaps even if he died here right now, Long Aotian wouldn’t say anything.

He was used to it. He had been worried, afraid, and sad before. He had angrily questioned Long Aotian that he was also his child. Why did he treat him like this? However, what he got was, “My son must be an outstanding figure in the Cultivation World. Since you can’t cultivate, you have lost some rights as a descendant of Long family!”

Since then, Tian Fan had become distant and cold, and learned to endure. Nothing could break his calm heart.

The group of people continued to walk deeper into the Magic Forest. They had already walked nearly 1,500 meters. Along the way, they had killed countless demonic creatures, including powerful creatures close to the Guixian Realm. This was simply unreasonable.

“That’s!” Long Aotian suddenly screamed and looked ahead in shock.

What kind of man was he? He was a peerless figure that was only a step away from the Guixian Secret Realm. For him to be able to cry out in alarm, it was obvious that what he saw was absolutely extraordinary.

They followed the gaze of Long Aotian and looked forward. They were all shocked. Even Tian Fan, who was calm in his heart, showed a look of surprise.

In front of him, the broken limbs of the trees as well as the corpses of the demonic creatures were everywhere. Among them, there was an existence that had almost reached the Guixian Secret Realm. Among the countless corpses, a huge monster was lying on the ground feebly. Horse face, snake body, deer horns, eagle claws, fish scales, this was actually a dragon!

“A dragon!”

Everyone was stupefied and felt a little parched. It should be known that dragons were absolutely rare existences in this world. Like phoenixes, they were at the very top of the pyramid.

For so many years, although there were descriptions of dragons in the Shenwu Continent, no one had ever seen one. Once it appeared, it would definitely be regarded as a god by the world.

“No, it’s not a real dragon. It’s a flood dragon. It is about to surpass the nature of a flood dragon. It’s going to evolve again!” The Old State Preceptor was also extremely shocked. In just a moment, the old man found something wrong.

It was said that flood dragons were also descendants of dragons, but their Divine Dragon Bloodline was extremely thin. Only by activating the Divine Dragon Bloodline in their bodies with great power and lucky chance could they have the opportunity to become dragons and ascend to heaven.

Although flood dragons were very rare in the Shenwu Continent, they could still be seen after all. Some people had seen them, but none of them had ever seen a flood dragon activate the bloodline in its body. But now, the flood dragon lying on the ground was actually evolving into a Divine Dragon and wanted to rise to the sky in one step.

“Flood dragon? A flood dragon that is about to evolve?”

Long Aotian recalled the words of the State Preceptor. At first, he was shocked, and then he showed a look of ecstasy. At present, the flood dragon was in the stage of evolution, and its strength was greatly reduced. Judging from the corpse on the ground, it must have attracted many powerful enemies by the aura from activating its bloodline. They must have tried to take this opportunity to devour its source energy and were killed here one by one. But now, the flood dragon was very feeble.

What a great opportunity! Long Aotian thought in his heart. If he refined the source energy of this flood dragon now, he would definitely break through to the Guixian Secret Realm!

“No, since this flood dragon has the opportunity to evolve into a dragon, we shouldn’t refine it. Now you and I will guard this place and protect it!”

When Long Aotian conveyed his thoughts to Old State Preceptor, the old man refused righteously, out of his expectation! Furthermore, he demanded that he must guard this place with him.

“Aotian, as a cultivator, although strength is important, the heart is of more importance! If this flood dragon can successfully evolve, it will rise to the sky in one step and become a dragon. If you build a good relationship with it, it will definitely be grateful. At that time, there will be a more powerful Divine Dragon guarding the Longteng Dynasty and complement your Longteng Dynasty!”

Seeing the disappointed look of Long Aotian, Old State Preceptor taught him earnestly. He had a life-and-death friendship with his father, so he took good care of his descendants.

As the lord of a dynasty, Long Aotian was not an incompetent person. In an instant, he figured out the key point. As the old man said, there were other opportunities for him to step into the Guixian Secret Realm, but the flood dragon in front of him was trying to activate the Divine Dragon Bloodline. Once he succeeded, he would be the only Divine Dragon in the Shenwu Continent. If he could seized the opportunity to build good relationships with it, there would be a great chance for the Longteng Dynasty to have a supreme dragon god. And it would become the number one force in the Shenwu Continent.

“Yes, State Preceptor, you are right. I will protect this flood dragon with you.” After figuring out the meaning, Long Aotian said respectfully to the old man.

While they were talking, the flood dragon lying on the ground actually woke up and opened its lantern-like eyes. Its eyes were filled with unease when it saw the humans before it. The battle from before had practically exhausted its strength.

When it moved its gaze to Old State Preceptor, it started trembling, apparently. The flood dragon clearly felt the strength of the old man and couldn’t help but despair. If it were in its heyday, the old man might not be his match, but now…

It struggled to stand up, but found that it had no strength. As it watched the old man walking towards it, it let out a powerless roar and a cry of unwillingness.

“You don’t have to worry. We mean no harm to you. You can try your best to activate the Divine Dragon Bloodline. We will protect you here.” Seeing the flood dragon’s performance, Old State Preceptor knew that it mistakenly thought that he was going to attack it, so he immediately explained.

Hearing the words of Old State Preceptor, the giant flood dragon was stunned. It seemed that it didn’t expect that the powerful human in front of it would say such a thing. Its eyes were full of distrust.

Tian Fan looked at the creature on the ground and listened to the words of Old State Preceptor. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect for the old man. He couldn’t cultivate, but he had read many incomplete ancient books. The old man’s mentality was worthy of his respect.

At this time, Long Aotian stepped forward, cupped his hands to the flood dragon, and said seriously, “Mr. Flood Dragon, don’t worry. I’m the current emperor of the Longteng Dynasty, and he is the State Preceptor. Activating the Divine Dragon Bloodline must be very dangerous. We’ll definitely protect you here!”

“Mr. Flood Dragon, you’d better set your mind at ease and focus on breaking through. If we wanted to harm you, we wouldn’t have said so much to you now.” Old State Preceptor said.

“Roar…”

All of a sudden, a loud roar came from the distance. An unknown powerful existence was approaching. The flood dragon suddenly became very anxious, which can be seen through its eyes.

“Mr. Flood Dragon, don’t worry. We’ll guard here.”

The roar was getting closer and closer. A moment later, a magic ape appeared in front of them. Tian Fan looked at the creature in front of him and his heart was in his mouth. He did not know any martial arts. Although he looked calm, he could not help but become a little worried.

The magic ape was wrapped in thick snow-white fur, which was shining with a faint white light. At first glance, one could tell that its cultivation was high. It was an existence at the peak of Hunyuan Realm, a powerful creature that was about to break through the Guixian Secret Realm.

As soon as the magic ape approach here, it saw the flood dragon. Feeling the aura that was close to Divine Dragon’s source energy, its dark ape face showed an excited look and it pounced directly on the flood dragon, which immediately made the flood dragon frightened and frantic greatly, and retreat because it had no power to fight now.

However, just as the magic ape was about to catch the flood dragon, a beam of sky-piercing sword light fell from the sky. The white light was dazzling, and its aura was intimidating. Its powerful Qi Movement locked onto the magic ape directly. The white magic ape was shocked. From the moment it appeared, there was only the figure of the flood dragon in its eyes. It didn’t care about those weak human beings, but it didn’t expect that there was such a strong man among them.

The terrifying aura descended. The magic ape tried its best to move its body to avoid the kill shot, but it felt as if it had fallen into a swamp, and its movements were greatly hindered.

However, it was, after all, a powerful existence that was infinitely close to the Guixian Secret Realm. At the critical moment, its whole body burst out a jet-black magic light, which enable it to move quickly. So it immediately tried to move sideways, but at the same time, the white sword light arrived and cut off its right arm at one stroke before it could be stretched back.

“Roar, roar…”

The arm covered in white fur was cut off from the magic ape’s body, blood splattered everywhere, and a heart-wrenching scream came out of the magic ape’s mouth.

Tian Fan was a little surprised, and at the same time, he was a little fascinated. The old man just gently waved his arm, but he cut off one arm of the magic ape. Although he couldn’t cultivate, he longed to have such combat power.

“The Divine Dragon Bloodline is awakening. A real Divine Dragon is about to appear in the Shenwu Continent. Anyone who dares to stand in our way will be killed!” The old man’s face was solemn and dignified at this time. A blood-red sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
