Bai Qingnian paused upon hearing this, recalling what the great black dragon had told him.
She likes him and has saved him time and time again, so why would he be afraid of her?
"The big black dragon is very good."
Seeing his happy expression, Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, he was worried at first, after all, Niannian's identity was completely different from Long Qianling's, and Long Qianling was a well-known evil dragon. He was afraid that Niannian would be harmed because of this.
However, it now seems that his worries were unnecessary.
...
A figure in black appeared on a pile of ruins, her clothes fluttering as she moved.
Long Qianling stood on the deep red ground, his face expressionless as he looked at this lifeless land of the dragon race.
She looked up at the sky, where dark clouds hung like a giant net, shrouding the land of the dragons and preventing any sunlight from reaching it.
Long Qianling withdrew her gaze, her golden eyes glistening with tears. She suppressed her bitter emotions, calmed herself down, and then slowly lifted her foot to walk forward.
This was the first time Long Qianling had mustered the courage to return since the Dragon Clan was wiped out.
Her people once lived on this land, but now it has become their burial ground. How could she not be sad?
Long Qianling walked alone for a very long time until she reached the courtyard where she used to live. She stood at the door but dared not go in.
She didn't step inside until her feet started to go numb.
Looking at the familiar buildings in the courtyard, memories of the past flooded back.
She seemed to see herself as a child, practicing magic in the courtyard, her mother standing solemnly to the side. But now, the place was devastated and desolate.
Long Qianling took a deep breath. The flowers and plants in the courtyard had long since withered and rotted, and the house was in ruins. She slowly walked through each familiar corner, her heart filled with endless sorrow.
In a corner of the courtyard, Long Qianling discovered a surviving stone tablet with familiar characters engraved on it.
She gently raised her hand to stroke the stone tablet, as if she could feel her mother's presence. At that moment, Long Qianling could no longer hold back, her hands tightly gripping the stone tablet, tears blurring her vision, dripping onto the stone tablet.
"Mother……"
She didn't cry on the day the dragon clan was destroyed, nor on the day it was sealed away, but today she shed tears.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Long Qianling's hands, gripping the stone tablet, trembled violently. Her heart felt as if it had been stabbed multiple times, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe.
Long Qianling slid to the ground, her hand slipping limply from the stone tablet.
After an unknown amount of time, Long Qianling finally calmed herself down. She wiped away her tears and raised her golden eyes to look at the stone tablet.
"The blood feud with the Dragon Clan—one day, I will make the entire Demon Realm pay for it in blood!" Long Qianling said in a low voice, as if making a promise to his deceased relatives.
She stood up, took one last look at the courtyard that had once been filled with joy, and then turned and left. Her figure gradually disappeared into the distant horizon.
When Long Qianling reappeared, she was already standing at the entrance of the Life and Breath Secret Realm.
Looking at the huge stone wall in front of him, Long Qianling took the Dragon Pearl out from his heart without hesitation.
Long Qianling placed the dragon pearl in his palm, lightly touched his toes to fly into the air, and sent the dragon pearl onto the stone wall.
The Dragon Ball seemed to come alive, flying away from Long Qianling's palm and disappearing into the stone wall.
Suddenly, the huge stone wall lit up with a golden light, and with a loud rumble, it split in two, revealing an entrance like a gate in front of Long Qianling.
Without hesitation, Long Qianling flew straight in. Just as her figure disappeared from the entrance, the entrance closed silently again.
Rumble!
As soon as Long Qianling stepped into the Life and Breathing Secret Realm, a strong wind blew in his face, and the whole sky was gray with lightning and thunder.
This hidden realm of life was not what she had imagined. She thought it would be a vibrant place, but it turned out to be a desolate wasteland.
But Long Qianling was certain that Bai Fengfu and the others hadn't caused this secret realm to become like this, since they didn't have the Dragon Pearl and couldn't open the entrance at all.
Therefore, this is the original appearance of the Secret Realm of Life.
As for why this secret realm is called the Realm of Life and Breath, she didn't know either.
Long Qianling glanced around, mentally calculating which way she should go.
Could there be rare and precious herbs here? That sounds like a joke.
“You’ve finally arrived…” Suddenly, a steady female voice rang out.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
Golden eyes glanced warily around, but only the sound of the wind answered her. The voice did not reappear, as if it had been her imagination.
Long Qianling frowned, flew directly into the air, and randomly chose a place to go.
She wanted to see what exactly was playing tricks.
Long Qianling swiftly traversed the air, his golden eyes carefully surveying the surrounding environment.
But all she saw were withered grass and dried-up rivers; she didn't even see a single insect.
She swiftly traversed the air, flying over most of the secret realm before arriving at the central area.
The scene before them changed, and a palace stood there brightly, but it had been reduced to ruins, and it could only be vaguely discerned that it was a palace.
Long Qianling landed at the palace entrance and looked up at the flat forehead above his head.
The Hall of Eternal Life.
"The palace that appeared in the secret realm looks suspicious no matter how you look at it," Long Qianling muttered to himself, then turned his gaze away and stepped inside.
Pushing open the dilapidated door, a cloud of dust billowed up, and Long Qianling quickly ducked to the side.
After the dust was blown away by the wind, Long Qianling stepped into the hall.
Surprisingly, although the outside was in ruins, the inside was still intact.
Long Qianling looked up and saw five dragons circling on the roof, each corresponding to one of the five branches of their dragon clan. In the center of the five dragons was a pearl, which Long Qianling knew to be the Dragon Pearl.
But why is it empty there?
Long Qianling was puzzled. He lightly touched the ground and flew up. Looking at the empty Dragon Ball location, he raised his hand and pressed it.
hiss!
Suddenly, a pain shot through her finger. Long Qianling withdrew her hand, looked down, and discovered that her fingertip had been cut into her mouth.
However, what she didn't notice was that her blood was being absorbed into that empty space.
"The 340,000th generation successor, Long Qianling, requests the awakening of the power of life!"
A solemn and majestic voice resounded throughout the palace, and the five giant dragons above Long Qianling's head emitted light.
She felt as if something was pressing down on her, so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
Bang!
Long Qianling was directly pressed to the ground by this gravity.
"What's going on..." Long Qianling gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but another heavy force pressed down on her, knocking her unconscious.
