Returning to the Ancient Dragon Island once again, Xiao Yan discovered that the atmosphere here had slightly changed. The powerful yet subtle auras within the island had also discreetly increased quite a bit. This discovery made Xiao Yan’s heart feel a bit apprehensive. These potent auras that he had never sensed before should belong to the elders of the Ancestral Void Dragons who had been cultivating in the void. Now that the Dragon Emperor had reappeared, these elders, who had avoided fighting each other due to the internal division, had returned to the Eastern Dragon Island once more. “With this, the strength of the Eastern Dragon Island must have surged. Once Zi Yan fully emerges from her seclusion, it will be time to start the unification of the Ancient Dragon Clan.” Xiao Yan muttered to himself. Of course, he also understood that this path would not be easy. During this time, he had heard from Black Spear about news concerning the other three major Dragon Islands. With the former strength of the Eastern Dragon Island, they could only be considered the weakest among the four. It was easy to imagine just how terrifying the so-called three Great Dragon Kings were. Although these three did not possess noble bloodline as pure and rich as Zi Yan’s, with their ambition, they certainly wouldn’t easily let Zi Yan unify the Ancient Dragon Clan. If that were to happen, their status would significantly decrease, and someone would emerge to command them again, a situation that the three Great Dragon Kings, accustomed to issuing orders, would find hard to accept. “Haha, Friend Xiao Yan, you’ve finally returned. The Void Thunder Pool is too perilous; I was worried that something might happen to you there…” As soon as Xiao Yan and Black Spear entered the Eastern Dragon Island, Elder Zhu Li appeared before them, smiling at him. “Thank you for your concern, Elder Zhu Li.” Xiao Yan smiled and clasped his hands in greeting towards Elder Zhu Li. However, his gaze turned to the two old men in white robes behind Elder Zhu Li. He had never met these two before, but the faint yet powerful auras emanating from their bodies made it clear that their strength was at least at the level of an eight-star Dou Zun, if not higher. “Haha, these two are elders of our Ancient Dragon Clan. However, they have been cultivating in the void and have not returned until now.” Seeing Xiao Yan’s surprise, Elder Zhu Li smiled and explained. “Greetings, Elders!” Xiao Yan smiled and courteously clasped his hands. In response to his politeness, the two elders smiled and returned the greeting. They had already learned from Elder Zhu Li that the Xiao Yan before them had a close relationship with the current Dragon Emperor, so they naturally didn’t treat him with disrespect. “Master Xiao Yan!” While Xiao Yan was talking with Elder Zhu Li and the others, a joyful voice came from below. A green silhouette then flashed and appeared in front of them, standing gracefully. “Qing Lin.” Looking at the charming girl, Xiao Yan was taken aback, then asked with a smile, “Out of seclusion?” “Yes, thanks to the dragon qi in the Ancient Dragon Tomb and the help of a few elders, I was able to refine the soul of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent.” Qing Lin smiled sweetly. “Haha, the soul of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent inside Qing Lin hasn’t been completely refined, but after this, it will no longer pose a threat. Sooner or later, it will be fully refined by her,” Elder Zhu Li said with a smile. Xiao Yan scanned Qing Lin and his eyebrows raised slightly. He found that her aura was actually stronger than his own. “Six-star Dou Zun?” Qing Lin nodded. Seeing Xiao Yan’s somewhat helpless expression, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t be discouraged. The Jade Snake Three Flower Eye is the most extraordinary eye in the world. There is probably only one person on the continent with it. Moreover, the soul of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent is probably unique in the world. Without either of these, Qing Lin’s strength would not have improved so dramatically. Moreover, such an opportunity comes only once in a lifetime, even for her.” Elder Zhu Li stroked his beard and said. Xiao Yan nodded bitterly. He knew that such a rapid increase in strength required extremely stringent conditions. But seeing her leapfrog from nearly five-star to six-star in such a short time, anyone would feel a bit unbalanced. “With Qing Lin’s current six-star strength and the combat power of the Jade Snake Three Flower Eye, she could probably fight a seven-star Dou Zun. Furthermore, the ability of the Jade Snake Three Flower Eye to seal the power of snake clan members has also significantly improved. It’s possible that she can now seal a seven-star Dou Zun elder of the snake clan,” Xiao Yan sighed. His understanding of the Jade Snake Three Flower Eye deepened. Such a technique indeed deserved to be called the most extraordinary eye on the continent. “Elder Zhu Li, has Zi Yan still not come out of her seclusion?” After a moment’s thought, Xiao Yan changed the subject. “No, the Dragon Emperor needs a long time this time. Even I don’t know when he will emerge…” Elder Zhu Li frowned and replied. Xiao Yan nodded silently and said, “If that’s the case, I can’t stay much longer. I’ve been away for too long, and Teacher might be worried if I don’t return soon.” Seeing that Xiao Yan intended to leave, Elder Zhu Li didn’t try to stop him. The atmosphere on the Eastern Dragon Island was tense, and they were always on guard against the attacks of the other three Dragon Islands. Staying here wasn’t very safe for Xiao Yan. After a moment’s thought, he nodded and said, “Very well.” “Friend Xiao Yan, take this spatial jade tablet. If you need to come to the Eastern Dragon Island in the future, crush it, and the spatial power within will automatically form a spatial channel and transport you here.” Elder Zhu Li took out a rather exquisite silver jade tablet from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan with a smile. Xiao Yan didn’t refuse and accepted it with a smile. Only those who reached the rank of half-saint could make such a spatial jade tablet, and the process was quite complicated. “In that case, I won’t overstay my welcome. If I can assist in any way in the future, I will do my best,” Xiao Yan clasped his hands towards Elder Zhu Li and said with a smile. “Of course, and when you return to the Falling Star Pavilion, give my greetings to Dan Chen.” Elder Zhu Li smiled and nodded to Black Spear. At his gesture, Black Spear waved his hand, tearing a rift in the space. “Young Master Xiao Yan, please,” he said with a smile. Xiao Yan smiled and clasped his hands in farewell. Then he stepped through the rift, followed closely by Qing Lin and Black Spear. After all three had entered, the spatial rift slowly dissipated. In the lush mountain range, occasional low roars of beasts resounded. As these roars spread, the space suddenly split, and three figures emerged from the rift—it was naturally Xiao Yan and his two companions from the Eastern Dragon Island. “Phew…” Stepping out of the void, Xiao Yan gazed at the endless mountains and earth, and then looked up at the azure sky. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. Compared to the boundless darkness of the void, the real continent was much more comforting. “Young Master Xiao Yan, head north from here, and you’ll reach the Falling Star Pavilion in less than half a day. Due to the current situation in the clan, I must return quickly and cannot personally escort you both.” Black Spear surveyed their surroundings, determined the direction, and then told Xiao Yan. “Thank you, Big Brother Black Spear.” Xiao Yan smiled and clasped his hands in gratitude. “Once the major issues in the Ancient Dragon Clan are settled, I’ll be able to come out freely. If we meet the Hall of Souls again, I’ll help you deal with them,” Black Spear patted his chest and said with a laugh. Xiao Yan nodded with a smile. Black Spear was meticulous despite his roughness and had a good personality, making him a suitable person to befriend. “Alright, I won’t keep rambling. We’ll part ways here!” Black Spear waved at Xiao Yan, and without further ado, tore open the space and disappeared into it. “Let’s go.” Seeing Black Spear leave, Xiao Yan smiled, turned, and flew toward the northern horizon, followed closely by Qing Lin. Following Black Spear’s instructions, they reached the familiar sights of the Falling Star Pavilion in less than half a day. The grand and majestic pavilion appeared in the distance, partially hidden. In the assembly hall of the Falling Star Pavilion, while discussing something with the Wind Venerable, Pill Elder’s eyebrows suddenly twitched, and he chuckled, “Finally, back…” As Pill Elder’s laughter faded, the space in the hall began to fluctuate, and two figures slowly emerged. “Xiao Yan…” The Wind Venerable stared at the young man, momentarily startled. Then, a look of shock appeared on his face. He could sense that Xiao Yan’s current aura was even slightly stronger than his own! “It seems you’ve gained a lot from this trip,” Pill Elder said with a smile, not entirely surprised. Xiao Yan smiled, found a chair, and recounted the events of the past few days, causing both Pill Elder and the Wind Venerable to nod in agreement. “I didn’t expect you to have such a relationship with the Ancestral Void Dragons,” Pill Elder said with a smile, holding a teacup. “I also have some good news for you.” “Oh? What is it?” Xiao Yan, taken aback, turned his gaze to Pill Elder. “It’s related to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.” Pill Elder smiled. Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s face instantly lit up with an undeniable joy!
