?*Boom... Boom... Boom...*
A huge explosion occurred in the desert after Ling Yun, who was hovering in mid-air in his half-dragon form, shot his chaos dragon cannon at full power several times, and his actions made the sand in the surrounding area scatter into the air, leaving a few deep holes there.
[Ding]
[Quest: Killing Four Hundred and Fifty Beasts in the Emperor Realm and Above]
[Status: Accomplished]
[Reward: Battle Gift Pack VIII]
Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and he returned to his human form before drinking two bottles of large qi restoration liquid, especially since he had been fighting with those beasts for quite a long time, plus his attack just now consumed a lot of qi. "I can fight the beasts in the saint realm with my human form, but I have to use my half-dragon form to fight the beasts in the venerate realm, and I can fight the beasts in the heavenly god realm if I use my complete dragon form. Unfortunately, both of my forms make my qi deplete too quickly, so I can't use them for too long."
"Haha." Zhou Yu laughed as he floated to Ling Yun's side. "You are the only cultivator in the mortal realm who can fight beasts in the heavenly god realm, and people will be jealous of your strength."
Ling Yun shook his head. "My two forms are indeed an advantage for me, but I don't want to depend on them all the time, and I have to be able to fight my enemies without relying on them, so I have to go to that tower as soon as possible."
"Hey, I know you're worried about the problems that await us, but you're being too harsh on yourself." Zhou Yu then touched Ling Yun's chest. "Cultivation cannot be pushed too fast, or you will suffer the losses yourself. Moreover, you have only cultivated for a year, but you have reached this level now, and no cultivator can match your cultivation speed."
Hearing that, Ling Yun looked towards the north. "There are too many people by my side now, so I have to keep pushing myself to become stronger, and I have to be able to exceed my limits so I can protect them."
'Sigh, he's stubborn now, and he'll never listen to me.' Zhou Yu inwardly muttered, and she disappeared from Ling Yun's sight, causing him to frown. However, she didn't leave for too long, and she soon reappeared in front of him with Ling Xi. "Big Sis, he will only listen to you, so you have to advise him, or he will suffer if he continues to force himself."
However, Ling Xi had a different opinion. "It's okay; the chaos dragon bloodline in Ling Yun's body will be of great help to him, so such things won't be a stumbling block for him, and he will become frustrated instead."
'Tsk! They're both the same!' Zhou Yu inwardly grumbled while rubbing her forehead.
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed and hugged Ling Xi. "You understand me so well, my sexy spirit."
"Our souls are bound to each other, remember?" Ling Xi asked with a sweet smile. "There will be no one else who can understand you like me, so I will support all your decisions."
"En." Ling Yun then contacted all his women to prepare their return, as he decided to leave for the mysterious realm earlier than his original plan. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't opened the rewards from the previous two quests, so he opened both of them and the newest reward.
[You obtained Heaven Grade - Soul Shackle Chain x1.]
[You obtained Sacred Dragon Token x1.]
[You obtained Mysterious Golden Key x1.]
"Hmm?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows for a moment and immediately read the details of each item.
[Dragon Dragon Token: This is a symbol of leadership in the Dragon Race.]
[Mysterious Golden Key: Unknown Item!]
[Soul Shackle Chain: a black chain that can be used to shackle and seal the soul of a human or beast, but it cannot be used against those with high soul power.]
"Hey, where did you get this golden key?" Ling Yun asked as he showed it to Ling Xi.
"Hmm?" Ling Xi looked at the key while searching her memory for it. "If I remember correctly, my first host was the one who got this key, but he didn't know what it was for, so he gave it to me. In fact, my last host and I have tried to solve the mystery of it, but we never got any clues about it."
"Your first host?" Ling Xi nodded to Ling Yun. "Where did he get it?"
"I don't know." Ling Xi answered with a shake of her head. "He already had this key before we made the contract, but he himself doesn't remember its origin."
"Do you know anything about this golden key?" Zhou Yu shook her head at him, and Ling Yun then stored the golden key before taking out the sacred dragon token. "Then what about this one?"
"Oh!" Ling Xi was surprised and took the token from Ling Yun's hand, but she immediately returned it to him while telling him. "My last host and I got it from the Dragon Realm, but that place has been destroyed like the Phoenix World, and I don't know where the dragon race is hiding now. Perhaps you can ask Jin Zhongli about their whereabouts, and she might know about them."
"That's true." As for the soul shackle chain, Ling Yun didn't seem enthusiastic about it, especially since he was well aware that his enemy had strong soul power, especially the spirit emperor, so he couldn't possibly use it on him. "Let's pick up Jiao Lu, and we'll go straight back to the sect."
Zhou Yu followed Ling Yun's request by taking them to meet Jiao Lu in another area, and she brought them back to the sect after, but he didn't return to their residence and went to meet the beast women who lived outside the sect.
"Did you miss me, master?" Cai Hudie asked as she jumped into Ling Yun's arms.
"You're really naughty, huh?" Ling Yun said that while squeezing Cai Hudie's buttocks, but then he turned to Jin Zhongli. "Do you know where the remnants of the dragon race live?"
"Why are you suddenly asking them, Master?" Jin Zhongli curiously asked, but Ling Yun showed her the sacred dragon token. "I didn't expect that token to be in your hands, Master. It could help you gain recognition from the dragon race, but it's useless because they live in a separate realm now, and their realm is sealed from within."
"A separate realm?" Ling Yun raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why did they seal their new realm? Did they separate themselves on purpose?"
Jin Zhongli sighed heavily before answering his questions. "Master, the beast war has long ended, but those evil mythical beasts are still hunting the virtuous mythical beasts. Not only the dragon race, but other beast races are also hiding in hard-
to-reach places. Moreover, their numbers are too small now, and they wouldn't be able to face their enemies. That's why they deliberately hid to recover their strength, and they also prepared themselves to face the second beast war."
"The second beast war, huh?" Ling Yun muttered as he nodded in understanding. "Then what about you? Why are you wandering around in the outside world?"
"Hehe." Jin Zhongli giggled. "I am indeed a dragon, but I am different from them. Moreover, I am the descendant of a loyal follower of the chaos dragon, so I have to wait for his heir to appear."
"Can't they detect your presence?"
"They can indeed detect my presence, but they don't dare to do anything to me." Jin Zhongli then showed Ling Yun a black scale. "This is one of the chaos dragon's scales, and it has been passed down from generation to generation in my race, so they will not dare approach me because of the aura left on it. If I didn't have it, they would have attacked me long ago, and I would be dead by now."
Ling Yun then turned to the other four beastwomen. "Do you guys have one too?"
"No." They answered by shaking their heads, and Long Ma then told him. "Master, we are not a dragon race, so we don't need it, and the old dragon only gave one of his scales to the Zhongli family."
"As for me, my poison is too strong for other living creatures, and those evil mythical beasts are also not immune to my poison, so I don't need it to protect myself." Jiu Shen said to him.
Hearing that, Ling Yun came up with an idea. "Can your poison paralyze the spirit race, especially the spirit emperor?"
"Unfortunately, my poison will not have much effect against the spirit emperor, especially since he is one of the special existences in this universe, but my poison can paralyze those spirit guardians."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun fell into thought after he heard that, and he racked his brains to think of other ways to deal with Zhu Ling. "In that case, I want you to keep your poison in bottles, and I will leave them for my wives, so they can use them if they are in danger."
"That can't be done, Master." Ling Yun frowned after hearing that, and Jiu Shen explained it to him. "There are no bottles that can contain my poison, and they will melt instantly, so your plan is useless."
