Transformed into light auspicious clouds, Chuchu and Ronglin whispered in mid-air, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility, but their conversation accidentally drifted into the ears of several nearby clouds.
A cloud shaped like a puppy was clearly annoyed by their incessant chatter. It swayed irritably, its voice filled with dissatisfaction: "Hey, are you two new here? You keep talking non-stop, it's really noisy, don't you know?"
Chuchu's face flushed with embarrassment when she heard this. She smiled apologetically, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, "Ah, I'm sorry, we...we actually got lost and unexpectedly stumbled into the Purple Sky Holy Land. Sister Xiangyun, judging by your appearance, you must have been here for a long time, right?"
Upon hearing this, Dog Cloud snorted softly, its tail cocked high, and it acted like a senior. "Of course, I've been in this holy land for nearly three thousand years and have witnessed countless clouds coming and going. You two little guys look quite young. What's your cultivation level?"
Chuchu smiled slightly, with a calm look in her eyes: "Not old, not old, only about 100,000 years old, he is about the same age as me."
At this moment, a cat-like cloud beside him suddenly burst out laughing, his voice full of teasing: "Hey, you haven't ascended to heaven in over a hundred thousand years? Don't you think it's boring to be a cloud for the rest of your life?"
Chu Chu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Rong Lin. Rong Lin gently rolled up his sleeves, putting on the airs of a Heavenly Sovereign. His voice was steady and powerful, "To persevere in doing one thing well for a hundred thousand years is to be a good god, a good immortal. If one's mind is constantly wandering and one's habits are unstable, how can one be any good at being a cloud? Speaking of which, you two, as clouds of the Purple Sky Sacred Realm, didn't even know that the Purple Sky Ancestor had been replaced. Do you feel that you have failed in your duty?"
The peacock-like Yun Cai muttered to the side, his eyes filled with curiosity and confusion: "Why does this male Yun speak like a celestial monarch? Is he some great figure who has descended to earth?"
Upon hearing this, Dog Cloud immediately became unhappy and fiercely retorted, "Who said I don't know? I know a little bit about the whereabouts of Zixiao Patriarch. That fake Patriarch is just a transformed dragon from the East China Sea."
As soon as these words were spoken, the sky fell into silence. Even the surrounding clouds seemed to hold their breath, quietly waiting for what was to come.
Chuchu and Rong Lin exchanged a subtle glance. Rong Lin coughed lightly and said in a pretentiously serious tone, "I was just testing you, but I didn't expect you to actually say it. Anyway, what is this dragon doing in the Holy Land? Is he really here to become the ancestor?"
Chuchu blinked her big eyes, her face full of innocence: "Maybe it's for the magic weapons here. Among the four seas and eight wildernesses, among the six realms, only the Purple Sky Holy Land has the most abundant magic weapons. Anyone would be tempted."
Cat Cloud nodded in agreement. "Yes, you're right. That's probably the case. I saw that dragon sneaking down to the lower levels of the Holy Land yesterday. Without the key from the ancestor, no one can get down there."
Rong Lin frowned and continued to ask, "Where did the real ancestor go? Could he have been controlled by this dragon?"
Upon hearing this, Peacock Cloud's feathers stood on end, his voice filled with disdain. "How is this possible? The ancestor is the master of many gods, including the Heavenly Sovereign. His cultivation is unfathomable. How could he be controlled by a mere dragon? Besides, if the ancestor was truly controlled, how could this Purple Sky Holy Land still be so peaceful?"
Seeing this, Chu Chu also joined the discussion: "That being said, since this dragon dared to impersonate the ancestor, it must have something to rely on. Perhaps it used some kind of deception to sneak into the holy realm."
Upon hearing this, Gou Yuncai perked up: "Right, right, right! Maybe it's just cheating! We have to find a way to expose its true identity and not let this dragon do evil in the Holy Land."
Rong Lin's figure flashed before everyone's eyes, instantly transforming into the majestic appearance of a Heavenly Lord. His piercing gaze swept across the surrounding clouds, and he spoke in a steady and powerful voice, "All of you remain here safely. No one should act rashly. Keep a close eye on this dragon's every move. I must personally travel to the East China Sea to uncover its true identity."
Upon hearing this, the clouds, though still a little alarmed, quickly responded. They knew that this Heavenly Lord, though usually gentle and courteous, would be resolute and decisive when faced with serious matters, and would not tolerate any sloppiness.
After Rong Lin finished speaking, he pulled Chu Chu over to him. The two of them disappeared into the Purple Sky Holy Land in an instant, leaving only a group of clouds there to discuss.
"Oh my God, was that really Lingjun just now? She and Tianjun standing together are such a perfect match!" A cloud said enviously.
"I was foolishly questioning them just now. Now that I think about it, I'm really in danger." Another cloud patted his chest, glad that he didn't say anything nonsense just now.
"No, Lord Tianjun has always been kind and would not get angry with us over such a small matter." An older cloud comforted.
"We'd better keep a close eye on this dragon. The ancestor is the master of Tianjun and Lingjun. He will definitely see to this matter to the end." Another cloud reminded everyone, and everyone's attention returned to the dragon.
At this time, Chu Chu and Rong Lin had already arrived at the coast of the East China Sea. They stood on the beach, letting the sea breeze brush their faces, listening to the sound of waves hitting the beach, and watching the waves trying to swallow up the beach one after another.
Chu Chu looked at the vast ocean in front of her and asked with some confusion in her heart: "I still don't quite understand why a dragon would want to replace Master? What is his purpose in doing this?"
Rong Lin's gaze was profound as he gazed into the distance. He said, "Jiaolongs have always been governed by the Dragon King. Compared to the proud and noble dragons, Jiaolongs are always of lower status. Furthermore, after a thousand years of cultivation, Jiaolongs will follow rivers and into the sea to transform into dragons. This process is called 'Jiaolong Walking'. However, every time a Jiaolong walks, it causes violent storms and flooding of rivers. The six realms are on guard against this. Therefore, not every Jiaolong can successfully walk."
Chu Chu nodded after hearing this, and some thoughts seemed to come to her mind: "So, this dragon, because it failed to escape, sneaked into the Purple Sky Holy Land and stole the magic weapon to help itself become a true dragon?"
Rong Lin glanced at Chu Chu approvingly and said, "Your guess is probably accurate. So, we should go to the Dragon Palace and ask the Dragon King if any of the dragons that have been training in the East China Sea are here."
Chu Chu heard this and asked again, "Are you familiar with Ao Yuan? I heard that Long is notoriously old-fashioned. If we go there, will he refuse to give us face?"
Rong Lin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and asked Chu Chu, "Have you ever offended him?"
Chu Chu quickly shook her head: "No, how could I possibly offend him."
Rong Lin hummed and said, "Then you should give me some face. Let's go into the Dragon Palace first."
After saying that, Rong Lin pulled Chu Chu, and his figure flashed, turning into a stream of light and flying towards the Dragon Palace.
