“Roar! Roar!”
At that moment, several deep dragon roars echoed from the Daughter Cliff. Within the white clouds, a jade dragon faintly appeared!
“This… is this a dragon’s roar?!”
A young man nearby was so excited that he almost foamed at the mouth: “Could it be that legend…?”
“Legend?”
The rich young master was stunned, then suddenly slapped his head and shouted: “Right! The legend of the son-in-law riding a dragon! I should have thought of it earlier. With my character, how could only a pair of birds be sent out?”
As he spoke proudly, he immediately received a circle of disdainful glances from the surrounding crowd.
“Roar! Roar!”
Above the Daughter Cliff, clouds and mist swirled, revealing glimpses of scales and claws. Suddenly, two beams of white light descended, transforming into two immortal dragon steeds.
They were pure white, with translucent scales like jade. Their bodies resembled fish and tails like snakes, each with a single horn on the head and two claws on the belly, each claw having three toes. They looked very similar to the dragon Wu Ming had known, except that their backs bore a pair of wings like those of a yinglong, capable of stirring winds and clouds.
“They’re superior strain immortal dragon steeds!”
On the Ascension Platform, someone shouted: “Never thought this world would be so talented as to summon immortal dragon steeds from heaven!”
During the female clan’s ceremony, the judges had always been a pair of birds. If a man was chosen, the birds would carry him into the Daughter Cliff.
But there was an even more exceptional case!
If a man appeared who was exceptionally talented in both literary and martial arts, surpassing ordinary people by far, then the immortal dragon steed would personally descend to welcome the ideal son-in-law into the cliff. This was known as the legendary son-in-law riding a dragon!
According to legend, it seemed that the father of Dongfang Shuoming had once enjoyed such treatment.
Now, the group of immortal dragon steeds on the Daughter Cliff had been stirred once again!
“Roar! Roar!”
The two immortal dragon steeds circled and twisted, suddenly lowering their heads, one on the left and one on the right, their targets clearly being Lord Xiaobai and the Heavenly Beast Monarch!
Accompanied by a dragon roar shaking the heavens, two beams of white jade-like light flashed, carrying away Lord Xiaobai and the Heavenly Beast Monarch.
“Everyone, we’ll go first!”
Their eyes burned with passion, gazing toward the top of the Daughter Cliff, where the graceful figure seemed even more enchanting.
“If even Lord Xiaobai and the Heavenly Beast Monarch received such treatment, what about Jun Xuanming and the other?”
In an instant, more eyes focused on Jun Xuanming and Wu Ming.
They didn’t keep everyone waiting for long before the answer revealed itself.
“Roar! Roar!”
Amidst the dragon roars, an even more terrifying majesty suddenly descended, carrying an overwhelming dragon aura that shook the soul.
“A Jun-level pressure… No, even slightly stronger!”
Wu Ming silently pondered, raising his head to look at the sky.
From the clouds, a dragon steed appeared, several times larger than the previous ones. Its pupils contained a hint of gold, its belly bore four claws, each with four toes. It radiated astonishing power and majesty, exuding a king’s aura as it swooped down directly.
“An immortal dragon… a dragon monarch!!!”
“It’s a silver strain that has already ascended to Jun-level, an immortal dragon monarch!!!”
“The guardian of the female clan, who would have thought we could see it here!”
The crowd cried out in astonishment as they watched the immortal dragon monarch allow Jun Xuanming to ride on its head and soar into the sky, leaving them speechless: “Why did the immortal dragon monarch choose Jun Xuanming?”
“Could there be a second immortal dragon monarch on the Daughter Cliff?”
“No! The immortal dragons possess spirit. I think this sudden contender is too strange, and the dragon nature avoids him…”
…
In an instant, numerous glances and words filled with jealousy and slander flew like snowflakes.
Wu Ming’s expression remained calm and indifferent, as if waiting for something.
High above, Jun Xuanming’s face also showed no joy, instead turning gloomy: “Could it be…”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, winds rose and clouds surged, silencing all the clamor…
From the top of the Daughter Cliff, several delicate cries seemed to echo.
“This… this is…”
More and more people looked up, then froze in place like statues.
A golden light shone down on the top of the Daughter Cliff, suddenly transforming into a magnificent white-gold immortal dragon steed.
Its entire body was white-gold, with two floating dragon whiskers dancing on either side. Its head bore antlers resembling those of a deer, and its belly had four claws, each with five toes. Although its body size was similar to the previous immortal dragon monarch, no one would mistake the two.
For one exuded a mere kingly aura, while the other was nearly divine—a dragon god!
A majestic and vast aura spread out, carrying a sense of inclusiveness. Unlike the previous direct pressure from the immortal dragon monarch, this one was gentle like the sun, eternal and pervasive, nourishing everything silently.
“This is…”
“Yel… Yellow! Gold strain!”
“The legendary… Immortal Dragon King!”
Many spirit tamers directly knelt down with tears in their eyes, their eyes red like the most devout fanatics who had suddenly seen their deity.
“This is…”
The Immortal Dragon King slowly descended, immediately clearing a large area on the Ascension Platform. Wu Ming slowly stepped forward, his eyes showing surprise: “This familiar feeling…”
With one step, he leaped onto the back of the Immortal Dragon King. The dragon allowed him to ride without any resistance. Despite no contract being signed, Wu Ming felt an illusion of perfect harmony.
The Immortal Dragon King flapped its leathery wings, soaring into the sky with a dragon roar that shook the heavens.
Wu Ming, however, looked confused.
Even though he clearly understood the rules of the Daughter Cliff, he never expected his appearance would actually attract the Immortal Dragon King! Especially with how close the dragon seemed to him, his confusion only deepened.
Almost without thinking, Wu Ming immediately secretly activated the Phantom Spirit Contract.
He hadn’t come here to become a son-in-law riding a dragon, but specifically for the Immortal Dragon King. Now that his target had appeared, there was no better time to act!
However, under the watchful eyes of so many people, even he had to maintain some decorum, so he acted secretly, his wide sleeves covering all his movements.
Boom!
Almost instantly, Wu Ming felt his soul connect with another soul like a golden sun. The Immortal Dragon King merely hesitated, then accepted the contract without any resistance. The process was so smooth that even he was greatly surprised.
“So smooth? It’s even easier than taming a Bing-level or Jiang-level spirit…?”
Wu Ming muttered in confusion and then used his Observation Eye ability:
[Immortal Dragon King]
[Race Rank: Gold Strain (Cyan)]
[Racial Bonus: 4]
[Attribute: Dragon]
[Stage: Peak of Jun-level]
[Talent: Spiritual Sensing, Divine Body Gifted by Heaven]
[Combat Skills: Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw, Dragon Defense, Dragon Immortal Arts]
[Characteristics: Spirit Tamer Power (+4), Defense (+4), Spirit (+4)]
[Status: Healthy]
…
“So this is a Gold Strain? Triple attribute enhancement?”
Wu Ming murmured, “And this Immortal Dragon King hasn’t truly entered the Wang-level yet?”
At present, the Immortal Dragon King clearly possessed only the strength of the peak of Jun-level, but with the advantages of the Gold Strain and the dragon-type bonus, Wu Ming had no doubt that its strength was already no less than that of a general Wang-level Gold Strain!
“Haha, do you see that? That’s my brother!”
The rich young master’s face was flushed with excitement as he boasted, feeling that even if he failed this time, he would have a lifetime of topics to talk about when he returned.
“Chirp! Chirp!”
However, before he had any mental preparation, a pair of winged birds, several times larger than usual, descended. They tugged at his sleeve with their beaks, leaving the surrounding crowd in shock and daze…
“Cursed!”
Above, Jun Xuanming’s face darkened.
Wu Ming had acted too quickly; he naturally hadn’t noticed that the Immortal Dragon King had already been contracted. Even so, a sense of resentment and unwillingness filled his heart: “Why… why didn’t the Immortal Dragon King choose me?”
He had been a prodigy since birth, and except for the incident in Jushu City, he had never faced any setbacks.
Until now, this was the second time.
“Cursed! Cursed!”
Jun Xuanming’s face was almost distorted. An astonishing jealousy, like venomous snakes, gnawed at his heart constantly, causing him to emit a sinister laugh: “But it’s fine… Since it’s confirmed that the Immortal Dragon King is indeed here, I can notify my teacher and Aoshuang to take action. This is what you forced me to do! You forced me!”
“Chirp! Chirp!”
The Immortal Dragon twisted and flew, piercing through the clouds, quickly arriving at the top of the Daughter Cliff.
Obviously, the successive appearances of the Immortal Dragon Monarch and the Immortal Dragon King had greatly surprised the female clan. The figures of women at the cliff’s summit were in chaos.
Then, amidst flashes of spiritual light, many young women riding on winged birds flew up to greet the four men.
“Travelers from outside… I am the current Holy Maiden of the female clan. You may call me—Shuoyin!”
Leading the flock of winged birds was a girl veiled in gauze. Even though one could only hear her voice and see her spring-like eyes and graceful figure, one could easily imagine her as a peerless beauty.
“There’s a beauty in the south, whose beauty surpasses the city…”
At least, Lord Xiaobai and the Heavenly Beast Monarch beside him were somewhat entranced, even feeling a bit self-conscious about their own inadequacy.
“Shuoyin?”
When Wu Ming heard this name, he was even more speechless.
Looking at the girl opposite him, he was already about seventy to eighty percent certain that she might be Dongfang Shuoming’s younger sister.
At the same time, seeing Shuoyin staring tensely at the Immortal Dragon King beneath Wu Ming, a puzzle in his mind was solved.
“The Holy Maiden of the female clan should be the one specially responsible for communicating with the Immortal Dragon Monarch and Dragon King. It seems that the reason I could so easily tame the Immortal Dragon King this time was due to the bloodline within me, making it feel close?”
Although with his current soul power and primal force, once he got on the back of the Immortal Dragon King, there was absolutely no way it could escape, but the commotion would inevitably be huge.
Now, being able to subdue it silently, even Jun Xuanming didn’t notice, was a great benefit.
“Cursed! Why hasn’t Jun Xuanming acted yet…”
Wu Ming silently complained in his heart: “Stealing from one’s own side is really awkward, but as long as Jun Xuanming makes a move, I’ll have an excuse…”
