Time flies, and years pass by.
Beneath the thick white fog, the fierce storm and raging tides were all suppressed, and the sea surface was as calm as a mirror, but it could not reflect any scenery because the fog was too thick.
In this strange environment, Feng Bingwen was able to calmly and peacefully cultivate, while the dragon girl serving him was constantly restless and unable to find peace.
"They're here!"
On this day, Feng Bingwen sat cross-legged on a futon, suddenly opened his eyes, and five-colored immortal light burst out from his eyes, transforming into a rainbow tens of feet long, piercing through the white mist and lingering for a long time.
"What's here?"
The dragon girl, who was already holding a spirit sword and on guard, suddenly leaped from the ground upon hearing Feng Bingwen's voice, revealing her true form as a dragon and circling around Feng Bingwen.
She knew her own limitations. If she were to encounter an insurmountable danger, then this reincarnated sage before her was the only person she could rely on at this moment.
"look!"
Feng Bingwen paid no attention to the dragon girl's overreaction. Instead, he looked up at the direction from which the surging impact was coming. The curtain that seemed to stretch from the sky to the earth was approaching from afar at an extremely terrifying speed.
boom--
Not long after Feng Bingwen uttered his voice, the curtain that stretched from the sky to the earth, its extent unknown, swept across the reef where he stood and continued to advance backward.
When the curtain swept away, the white mist that was originally enough to obscure the view and even reduce a mighty dragon to only be able to observe its surroundings with its eyesight was reduced to less than one-tenth of its original size, and its ability to seal divine sense was also completely lost.
"This is……"
Witnessing this terrifying scene, Xi Qingyulong, who had already revealed his true form, couldn't help but show a look of horror on his face. As the curtain passed, terrifying waves hundreds or even thousands of feet high were stirred up on the desolate sea. Even the seabed, which had never seen the sun for a long time, was briefly revealed as a result.
Despite the terrifying impact, not a single speck of dust fell from the rock on which the man and the dragon stood, as if the horrific scene before them was merely an illusion, or perhaps their location was no longer within this world, but transcended by heaven and earth.
Xi Qingyu naturally knew that the reason she could watch the show so leisurely was not because of the magical nature of the stone beneath her, but because of the extraordinary supernatural power of the Taoist priest she was surrounded by.
"When powerful beings clash, it's just the impact of their supernatural powers colliding; it's nothing serious!"
Feng Bingwen smiled and said nonchalantly.
Although he might be one or two realms below the being that caused this terrifying impact, it was ultimately just the aftermath of a battle, not even a complete divine ability. If he couldn't even withstand this, then he shouldn't be cultivating immortality.
"Has the First Emperor made a move?"
Upon learning that the seemingly earth-shattering tsunami was merely the aftermath of a magical battle, Xi Qingyu was deeply shocked and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"It might not be the Ancestral Dragon, but perhaps an old Dragon King among your dragon clan who has achieved great feats!"
Although Feng Bingwen didn't know much about the dragon race, he knew how terrifying this race was, as it was born at the very end that other living beings dreamed of.
Leaving aside the fact that the bloodline of the dragon race endows every dragon species with innate supernatural powers, the long lifespan granted to them by their bloodline alone is enough to guarantee them extraordinary achievements.
Even a pig, if it can live for ten thousand years, must be a divine pig that can fly to the heavens and escape into the earth, and is omnipotent in the eyes of mortals.
Not to mention those true dragons whose bloodlines have been purified; heaven knows how terrifying their supernatural powers and magic might be, those old dragons that have endured for tens of thousands of years.
Perhaps there are some ancient dragons who, compared to their ancestral dragon, are only differed by generation.
"Does such a Dragon King exist?"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's casual remark, Xi Qingyu couldn't help but ask.
Although her father was a true Dragon King, judging from what she saw, even if he tried his best, he probably wouldn't be able to unleash the tsunami she had just witnessed, and that was merely the aftermath of the battle.
If an old dragon king is truly that powerful, then the gap between dragons is far too great. Her father probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single claw from that old dragon king. As for her, there's no need for comparison.
"You're a dragon, and you're asking me? You should know more about this than I do!"
Feng Bingwen stood up from the futon and took away all the necessary furnishings. In his eyes, he could already see long, winding shadows moving at the blurred horizon.
"Besides, we don't need to worry about such trivial matters!"
Is this a trivial matter?
"For you at this moment, it's obviously a trivial matter. Even if you dig deep enough to find out the truth, what use would it be to know such information!"
"You're right, senior!"
"Come with me, the opportunity you've been waiting for has arrived!"
Having tidied everything up and prepared, Feng Bingwen leaped into the air, his body as light as a feather, and landed lightly on Xi Qingyu's back.
"go!"
Feng Bingwen guided the dragon girl beneath his feet, and the dragon girl, whose eyesight was not very good, obediently followed his instructions. She knew that the sights and feelings of beings of different realms were completely different.
However, after flying for a while in the direction indicated by Feng Bingwen, Xi Qingyu saw the magnificent dragon horde, and her crystal-clear, bright purple dragon eyes couldn't help but reveal boundless joy.
However, as the purple-scaled dragon carrying Feng Bingwen approached, half of the leading true dragons in the dragon horde immediately turned their gazes toward Feng Bingwen's location.
Along their journey, they encountered dragons who had miraculously survived various mishaps, which was not unusual. However, this was the only dragon that had been reduced to a mount and carried cultivators across the land.
"Qingyu!"
Not only the true dragon, but also a considerable number of the many dragons behind it looked towards Feng Bingwen, their gazes carrying a lot of meaning, even a lot of malice, and almost no goodwill.
Sensing the malice, Feng Bingwen casually glanced around. From those gazes, he could easily tell that most of the dragons who seemed to want to kill him on the spot were male.
Clearly, even by the standards of the dragon race, the purple-scaled dragon beneath his feet should be considered a beauty. Of course, most male dragons don't care about beauty when they are in heat, since some dragons don't even care about their own race, so what does beauty matter?
"Who are you? Why are you standing on Qingyu's back, using her as a mount!"
An angry shout rang out, and a red dragon that looked exceptionally irritable flew closer. From its upturned lips, scorching sparks spewed from its cold fangs. This was a rare and exotic dragon.
"presumptuous!"
Feng Bingwen was too lazy to respond to the red dragon, but Xi Qingyu, who was being trampled under her feet, was furious. Dazzling lightning surged and leaped on her scales.
She was clearly showing respect for the ancestors of the human race, and she didn't let Feng Bingwen step on her head. How did she become a doormat? How dare he humiliate her like this? This is intolerable!
Besides, who does this guy think he is? Does he think that just because he has a real dragon backing him up, he can arbitrarily scold a human immortal? The one she's carrying isn't without background.
"Qingyu, why are you protecting this human? Did he use a bewitching spell on you?"
Clearly neglecting his cultivation and even having his personality and thinking influenced by the power contained in his bloodline, the Crimson Dragon opened its mouth, ready to attack Feng Bingwen.
Before the reckless dragon could make a move, a jet-black dragon tail descended from the sky, slapping the red dragon, which was over a hundred feet long, aside.
"Whose junior is this, causing such a ruckus? How dare they treat a fellow human cultivator like this! They have no manners whatsoever!"
After the black dragon, which had suddenly appeared, slapped the red dragon aside, which was oblivious to the situation, it scolded it for a while before looking apologetically at Feng Bingwen, who had remained unmoved by what had just happened.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, this little thing is blind to a true immortal, please forgive it!"
"It's alright. I just didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. Shouldn't you be enjoying some relaxation right now?"
Feng Bingwen looked at the black dragon in front of him with a slightly mocking expression. Compared with when they first met, the ferocity on this dragon had diminished a bit, but it hadn't been completely gone.
"The First Emperor has given the order; how dare I delay?"
Black Dragon replied somewhat helplessly. He wanted to continue enjoying himself, but such a huge change had occurred in the Desolate Sea. Not only had the ancestor spoken, but he had also taken action personally. It was too inappropriate for him, a junior, to be indulging in pleasure.
"I wonder what order the First Emperor has given. As a human, may I assist him?"
Feng Bingwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately pressed for an answer.
"Fellow Daoist, you probably don't know what has happened, do you?"
The black dragon did not answer, but instead asked a question.
"I've only caught a glimpse of it; I'm really not clear about what exactly happened in this desolate sea!"
Feng Bingwen answered truthfully that, when it comes to information, it is certainly safer to inquire directly with the Dragon Clan. What could he possibly deduce from the little he had seen?
"So that fellow Daoist may know, in that realm beyond, the Heavenly Demon Lord, who calls himself the Heavenly Venerable, used a primordial divine object to connect a grotto-heaven world with our world, releasing all the monsters and alien species contained within that grotto-heaven world, which is what caused the recent upheaval!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this news, Feng Bingwen was also shocked. This was completely different from what he had guessed. Of course, it was not his fault. Given his level of understanding and position, it was inevitable that he would realize it later.
"Using a primordial divine object to connect our world with a grotto-heaven?"
Feng Bingwen couldn't help but repeat the explosive news, and his normally strong heart couldn't help but beat a beat faster.
Although he guessed wrong a lot, he seemed to know where the innate spiritual root that had been assigned to him should be. However, the effect of this innate spiritual root seemed to be much more exaggerated than he had expected, and it actually had the terrifying ability to connect two worlds.
"Is this something that a single innate spiritual root can accomplish?"
With doubts in his mind, Feng Bingwen asked directly.
"This is not a question that a lowly dragon like me can answer. I don't have a single innate spiritual root. Perhaps my ancestor has one. If you have the chance to meet my ancestor, please ask him for me!"
"If you can't even see him, then what about me, an outsider?"
Feng Bingwen rolled his eyes at the mostly teasing remarks. However, while exchanging banter with the black dragon, with whom he had developed a certain friendship, he didn't forget to press for answers.
"What task did your ancestors assign you that makes you so aggressive?"
"Hehe, simple. Exterminate all living beings in that cave world that is connected to our heaven and earth!"
Black Dragon spoke nonchalantly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"Extinction of an entire realm?!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen was also taken aback.
"Isn't this too cruel? And with such ruthlessness, won't there be karmic consequences?"
"What about karma and cause and effect? After we have completely destroyed that world, my ancestor will destroy it. At that time, the so-called karma and cause and effect will naturally dissipate. After the destruction of a world, the remaining remnants will be integrated into our world. At that time, let alone karma, the Heavenly Dao will even reward you with immeasurable merit!"
When Heilong said this, he couldn't help but feel smug, while Feng Bingwen frowned deeply.
He naturally didn't reject merit, especially Heavenly Merit, but the fact that obtaining merit required destroying an entire realm was so devastating that it made him somewhat...
"Fellow Daoist Feng, have you never seen what the beings of that realm look like? If you had, you would not feel the slightest bit of pity, but would only want to exterminate them all!"
Looking at Feng Bingwen's appearance, Black Dragon chuckled and asked.
"You've seen him?"
Feng Bingwen suddenly realized what was going on.
"Of course I've seen them! Those weird, ugly things almost crossed the desolate sea to get here!"
"I see!"
Feng Bingwen suddenly realized that the monster Hong Chao he had seen not long ago was a creature from the cave world that was connected to heaven and earth.
If that's the case, then he wouldn't mind participating in the grand undertaking of annihilating an entire realm. After all, the merits of Heaven are such a sweet thing, why should he refuse them?
"I would be grateful if you could help me out, fellow Daoist. I would also like to see what the world on the other side looks like."
After realizing what kind of creatures he was about to kill, Feng Bingwen's attitude immediately underwent a complete 180-degree turn. He would not show mercy to anything that wanted to eat him; his kindness was not so cheap.
"Let's slaughter a few more while we're at it, so we can amass more Heavenly Merit when we get back!"
"If that could be done, that would be wonderful!"
Feng Bingwen replied shamelessly.
