Despite her thoughts, Nian Wanzhou decided to be cautious; she would never let anyone break up her parents!

Nobody will do!

She moved closer to Wei Wenru and sat down to meditate, but she didn't know how to draw the surrounding spiritual energy into her body.

I could only sit there blankly.

Song Yan noticed Nian Wanzhou's predicament, so he whispered to her, "Concentrate your mind, feel your meridians, dantian and spiritual energy, and guide them naturally."

He reached out and guided the abundant spiritual energy surrounding Nian Wanzhou into her meridians.

Once the spiritual energy entered Nian Wanzhou's body, it immediately and systematically flew towards her dantian, quickly filling her small dantian.

"Phew." Nian Wanzhou immediately felt refreshed and relaxed. "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Her starry eyes blinked again as she looked at Song Yan with admiration, thinking to herself, "Dad is indeed Dad, the most amazing man!"

Wei Wenru opened her eyes and saw Nian Wanzhou's quick process of drawing qi into her body. She was shocked and a little envious. It was too easy!

She really is her junior sister.

"Senior sister!" Nian Wanzhou sat affectionately next to Wei Wenru. Seeing her parents every day was the best she could ever be.

"What is that black mist that the sect leader and the others were talking about today? Senior Sister, do you know?"

Wei Wenru lowered her eyelids, wondering why Nian Wanzhou would suddenly ask about this matter. She didn't really know either; she had only heard the elders mention it briefly.

However, it's not exactly a secret among the powerful figures in the cultivation world.

She said with an ambiguous expression, "I don't quite know what's going on either. I only know that this matter concerns the tribulation to become an immortal, and it's also related to our ancestor."

It is said that among the powerful beings who attempted to ascend to immortality through tribulations back then, apart from a few from the Dragon Clan, most of them failed.

They were either killed by the unknown black mist, or struck dead by even more violent heavenly lightning during their tribulation.

It's been tens of thousands of years, and not a single person has successfully transcended the tribulation and ascended to immortality.

I still remember that the heavenly lightning that my ancestor used to undergo tribulation was extremely terrifying, dozens of times more powerful than normal heavenly lightning. It was not an ordinary tribulation lightning at all.

It's more like... intentionally preventing people from successfully transcending their tribulations.

The ancestor failed to transcend the tribulation because of this heavenly lightning, and was eventually ambushed by an unknown black mist, dying under the last heavenly lightning.

Not even a body was left behind, not even a single word.

One of the top experts in the cultivation world died for no apparent reason, making life extremely difficult for the Heavenly Mystery Sect in the days that followed.

Later, some powerful beings survived the tribulation lightning, because they gave up halfway and were not killed by the heavenly lightning, and also luckily escaped the black mist.

However, he ended up with a decline in his cultivation level, dropping from the Tribulation Transcending stage all the way to the Nascent Soul stage.

Only a few powerful beings who survived told all cultivators that there seemed to be a force secretly preventing them from ascending.

The patriarch of the Tianji Sect perished precisely because of this power.

In other words, apart from the dragon race, almost no one can successfully overcome the tribulation.

Seemingly due to some kind of repressive reason, the heavenly lightning was very afraid of the dragons, and even when it struck, it was of no use to the thick-skinned dragons.

The same fish can leap over the dragon gate, but even the Jiaolong people, who become dragons, do not have this opportunity to succeed.

It's not just because they aren't true dragons; it also means that it would take them tens of thousands of years to cultivate into dragons. Rather than wasting time torturing themselves, they might as well cultivate as a Jiao (蛟) and perhaps find more and faster ways to ascend to immortality.

Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, many sects have been searching for the whereabouts of the dragon race, and many have tried to uncover the secrets of heaven from the dragons so that they can successfully transcend tribulations and ascend to immortality.

Even if dragons are lazy, there are still hardworking dragons.

Some treacherous sects even tried to abduct dragon cubs from various places, only to be confronted by the parents, who not only beat them up but also nearly wiped out their entire sects.

Later, they suspected that the dragons were able to successfully transcend tribulations and become immortals, possibly through some kind of manipulation.

But they were completely unable to unravel the mystery.

Furthermore, the youths who had abused the dragon race were instead defeated by the rising dragon youths who cultivated in reverse, who then beat them half to death.

The dragon race's reputation for ferocity over the years is well-deserved, and they are certainly not so easily bullied.

Some researchers have also discovered that the reason why the dragon race was able to successfully transcend tribulations and ascend to immortality is related to the white dragon's suppression of evil spirits millions of years ago.

The evil spirit that should have been sealed underground, never to see the light of day, may very well have been awakened.

After hearing this, Nian Wanzhou immediately guessed what had happened.

This is probably the villain causing trouble. He doesn't want any of the lucky ones to ascend successfully, not even an ordinary cultivator. He doesn't want them to successfully overcome their tribulations.

One reason was the fear that if they became immortals, they would turn against him.

What's even more frightening is that if those people are the chosen ones of destiny ordained by Heaven, then they will definitely join forces with Heaven to annihilate him.

Therefore, for this reason, the evil villains have been preventing people in the cultivation world from undergoing tribulations.

Hearing this, Nian Wanzhou was completely dumbfounded. How was she supposed to help her senior sisters successfully overcome their tribulations? She didn't understand any of this!

"No one has successfully transcended the tribulation for tens of thousands of years. That's terrifying! No wonder Venerable Yuheng was so excited when he heard that Wanwan was a child of the dragon clan." Nan Yu squatted next to Nian Wanzhou, feeling a little scared, but still asked a question in confusion.

"But Venerable Yuheng is also a dragon, so why does he need to find a dragon cub? Isn't he enough?"

Wei Wenru and Song Yan: ...Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? They had no intention of explaining Sixth Elder's crazy behavior to him.

"Nanyu, don't you know that people of the Dragon Clan have a penchant for collecting things?" Song Yan asked first.

Nan Yu shook his head blankly: "I don't know, Wanwan doesn't seem to have this habit." He turned to look at Yao Nianwanzhou, but he didn't see her doing it.

Wei Wenru: "Ahem... Wanwan is still young."

Song Yan: "Yes, she's still a little kid, so it's normal that she doesn't have this behavior yet. As she grows up, it will become more and more obvious. For an adult dragon like the Sixth Elder, his collecting habit is... quite strong."

Wei Wenru: "It's also very strange..."

Curious Nian Wanzhou: "What's so strange about it?"

Song Yan lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, saying, "He... Sixth Elder likes to pick up children, he picks them up everywhere."

“Wanwan...you, and Lexi, are also children he picked up, one of them.”
