Chapter 16 Returning to the Rescue: Everyone has a powerful backer...
Stepping through the bronze gate, a fountain-like altar stands in the center, with water flowing down three circular steps before finally returning to a pool on the ground.
Chang Yubai looked down and saw a pool of clear, rushing water. The pool connected to the outside, and the walls blocked the tracking. He figured the water droplets dripping from the outside passage came from here.
Chang Yubai tentatively splashed some water, but nothing happened.
Looking further down into the pool, the underwater tiles were engraved with runes, resembling a magic circle. However, the magic circle was activated not by spiritual power, but by other precious things.
"Pure Yang blood?" Chang Yubai murmured, looking at the rune array.
A phantom dragon head with a blue-purple gradient quietly flew over, just in time to hear Chang Yubai's whispered words.
Old Thunder Dragon: Hiss—
Oh no! I was so focused on how this kid was favored by the heavens that I forgot this pool needs pure yang blood to break the seal!
The illusory dragon figure sighed silently, realizing its haste in only now realizing the crucial point.
It's a pity that this door, which is only opened once in a while, is now too big for you to get past this final hurdle, kid.
But then I thought again, and realized that things weren't over yet.
This is a cultivator favored by the Heavenly Dao! He must have something extraordinary about him. Just believe it, that's enough. We can't question the judgment of the Heavenly Emperor, can we?
Anyway, Old Lei Long was intimidated by this kid. Whether he succeeds or not depends entirely on Chang Yu Bai's next move.
Old Thunder Dragon: You absolutely must make it happen.
It doesn't want to wait for hundreds of years.
Chang Yubai: It's easy to say.
Once you understand the principle, it couldn't be simpler.
Then, in a flash of inspiration, he drew a bloody line with his fingertip, and a bead of blood, the size of a bean, fell vertically into the rushing water, but did not disperse.
The blood droplets fell all the way down, and perfectly stuck to the center of the magic circle.
Then, the runes of the magic array lit up with white light, the altar rumbled, and the entire hall began to tremble violently.
The seal has been successfully broken.
The altar collapsed, turning into stones that fell into the pool. The once enormous fountain vanished, leaving only the rushing water that resembled a stream or river.
Chang Yubai took a few steps back to make room. The next second, ripples spread across the water, becoming increasingly rapid. With a splash, a huge blue-purple dragon leaped out of the pool.
The dragon's mouth is separated into upper and lower parts, with a bright pearl held in its mouth, but this does not prevent the dragon from speaking.
Old Lei Long stared wide-eyed at the small-eyed man opposite him, completely bewildered.
Although it chose to believe, who can tell it how this kid's blood broke the seal?
Could it be that you, young man, also possess a pure Yang constitution?
It doesn't look like it. Isn't it said that a person with a pure yang body is full of vigor and inexhaustible spiritual power, and you can tell at a glance that they have a strong and powerful spirit?
That's it? Just this quiet, expressionless guy?
Old Lei Long couldn't help but ask.
Chang Yubai: "Oh, I don't know, maybe I'm just exceptionally gifted."
Old Thunder Dragon: That question is unnecessary!
Chang Yubai: You don't believe me when I tell you the truth, it's really pointless.
He is indeed exceptionally gifted.
In his early years, when he visited Yan State with his master, Venerable Qingyun, he had an experience of physical extraordinary abilities.
At that time, his and his master's dwellings were located near the restricted area. Since they were already there, they naturally had to sneak into the restricted area to take a look at the scenery.
The forbidden zone locks in the eternal flames that the people of Yan hate most. With the Purgatory Stone as the core of the seal, the flames of the entire region are suppressed under the lava of the forbidden zone, thus maintaining the normal temperature required for the entire region of Yan.
Chang Yubai was a teenager at the time, a time when he was prone to misbehaving. Before Venerable Qingyun could see him, the boy ran into the forbidden area and even touched the Purgatory Stone in the center of the formation with his bare hands.
Venerable Qingyun was nearly scared out of his wits. His usually cold and aloof face instantly hardened like iron. Chang Yubai had no doubt that his master's weapon would strike his back in the next second.
However, Venerable Qingyun was not a violent person. He simply rushed over and slapped away his disciple's hands that were holding the stone, examining them carefully from all angles, as if afraid that the delicate, pale hands would be burned to a crisp.
Surprisingly, Chang Yubai's palms showed no signs of burns.
Venerable Qingyun's attitude changed again.
Do you feel any strain when you lift this item?
Chang Yubai shook his head.
He picked up the legendary Purgatory Stone with a light lift, his hands feeling no burning pain, but rather a refreshing clarity that seemed to open his mind.
If it weren't for his master's terribly stern face, he would have loved to play with it a little longer.
At that time, Li Tiansheng had not yet emerged, and Venerable Qingyun had not yet given a series of instructions to keep a low profile. Chang Yubai was young, ambitious, and intelligent, and with the backing of a great god in the Venerable Martial Realm, he was truly fearless.
But after Venerable Qingyun explained the purpose of the Purgatory Stone, Chang Yubai was completely defeated. He wasn't about to risk the entire Yan Kingdom's demise just to show off.
Venerable Qingyun scanned the surrounding area with his divine sense again and again, and only felt relieved after confirming that no one else had passed by. He then instructed that no one should know about this matter, and that he should not approach similar forbidden areas in the future.
Chang Yubai was unaware of the reason, but later he heard that only those with a pure Yin body could lift the Purgatory Stone in the forbidden area of Yan Kingdom unharmed. A while ago, a pure Yin evil cultivator almost broke the seal, and only then did he realize how serious the matter was.
He roughly guessed that Guanwu's so-called exclusive seal probably wouldn't work on him. If the world knew about it, they would probably rush to snatch it away from him.
Even if ten more Venerable Qingyun came, they might not be able to protect him!
Chang Yubai has learned his lesson; he vows to keep this secret to himself and never let anyone other than his master know about it.
That's even more impossible now.
Chang Yubai emphasized again: "It's just that he has a special talent."
Old Thunder Dragon: "Oh."
The tone was extremely perfunctory.
Old Thunder Dragon: What other talent could he possibly have? It's just a pure Yang body, what are you pretending for?
Is there any other physique besides the Pure Yang Body that can break the seal? Impossible!
The brat hid himself quite well, showing none of the typical pure yang appearance one would expect. But Old Leilong understood; young people like to feign weakness and play the fool, waiting for the crucial moment to unleash their full potential and attract a group of admirers.
We've all been young, we all understand.
Rather than competing over whether someone possesses a pure Yang body, Old Lei Long is more interested in killing that bastard Lian Fengye.
Chang Yubai nodded, about to say yes, but suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, and his heart began to pound rapidly.
not good!
"The Black Scale Sword is urgently engaging in battle!"
Lian Wushuang attacked Xiaoyun!
...
Lookout outside the sect.
The fluorescent glow of Lian Wumiao's ornaments had faded, leaving only a few faint spots still shimmering with color.
The once gentle and elegant woman was thrown into a disheveled state by the aftershocks of the spiritual energy, with a few strands of hair flying wildly – a loss of composure that would have been completely impossible under normal circumstances.
Lian Wumiao's earth-rank treasure was no longer able to protect her and Li Qingyun during the battle. If it weren't for a black sword suddenly flying out from the child, she and Li Qingyun would probably have been completely defeated.
The Sumeru Jade Ring was bruised and battered, and its spirit had cried out in her mind's eye more than once about the pain. Lian Wumiao's eyes were also filled with tears, and she murmured uncontrollably, "Li Lang, I'm sorry, I couldn't take good care of the treasure you gave me..."
But compared to the treasures, Lian Wumiao felt a deep despair. Even with the help of the Black Scale Sword, Lian Wushuang still refused to give up. The spiritual power she could mobilize was about to be exhausted, and at that time, only the Black Scale Sword would be left to fight alone. However, the two Earth-rank treasures were just enough to repel Lian Wushuang. If either one were to withdraw, it would be a fatal blow.
It seems she really can't wait for Li Lang to return.
Li Qingyun: "?"
Big sister! Don't cry! If you cry, who will control your ring blades?
No, my eldest sister has no spiritual power left!
She has a congenital deficiency in her mental abilities!
Help!
"Help!" Li Qingyun had already started taking out a teleportation scroll, preparing to run away.
But the scroll, which was halfway to Qingyun's display, was rolled back up.
He saw the Black Scale Sword fly towards him and then come to a steady stop beside him.
Huh? Why is the Great Black Sword back? Didn't Lian Wushuang not finish fighting yet?
Could it be that...?!
Suddenly, a dense purple lightning bolt descended, striking Lian Wushuang precisely as she was about to make her move.
A colossal dragon, crackling with lightning, rolled through the dark clouds, its form appearing and disappearing. On its equally massive head stood a figure dressed in white, standing out starkly against the gray and black backdrop.
Li Qingyun couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "Master!"
Great! The big oaf has finally emerged from underground!
If he had said so earlier, he wouldn't have needed to run away at all!
Oh no, he still had to run, since Lian Wumiao had shielded him from all the threats.
Li Qingyun quickly pulled Lian Wumiao back: "Sister, my master is back. Don't worry, we're safe. Those wicked women in heaven can't beat my master!"
"Saved?" Lian Wumiao had completely exhausted her spiritual energy and collapsed to the ground, powerless.
Li Qingyun nodded frantically.
His master even rode a dragon to save him. Unless the Thunder Emperor comes to the rescue again, Lian Wushuang is doomed!
Lian Wumiao also noticed the thunder dragon, opened her mouth in surprise, and quickly covered it with her hand: "That, that could be..."
The Thunder Beast with a Pearl in Its Mouth at the Bottom of the Valley?
It's a dragon?!
This was the first time Li Qingyun had ever seen a dragon. He couldn't even think about where the dragon came from. His mind was filled with one thing: My master was actually riding a dragon!
So incredibly handsome!
I want to learn!
Lian Wumiao chuckled softly, his joy mirrored by the child's excitement: "So you two aren't father and son, but master and disciple."
Li Qingyun let things go in one ear and out the other, nodding no matter what he heard.
Lian Wumiao: "They are master and disciple..."
A master and disciple can be called a master and disciple if they teach each other. Before Li Lang left, he taught her how to use magical artifacts and how to store spiritual power with external objects. Wasn't he also a master and disciple? Li Lang, are you well? Do you know that she was just on the verge of death?
If Li Lang were here, she would probably share the joy with Xiao Li Qingyun.
Lian Wumiao's tears of happiness spilled uncontrollably.
Chang Yubai: "I heard you."
Lian Wushuang: "What?"
Chang Yubai: "Xiaoyun cried for help, and you bullied him."
Lian Wushuang: "Tch, I will not only bully him, I will also take his blood and bones and kill him!"
Chang Yubai: "You will die."
Lian Wushuang: "Don't think you're so powerful just because you rode a dragon. This is Thunder Valley, the Lookout Sect, and my father's territory!"
Chang Yubai: "...Goodbye."
"stop!"
Thunder Emperor arrived just in time once again, saving his eldest daughter from being knocked unconscious with a bolt of lightning.
Chang Yubai raised his Anning sword, his expression calm: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Compared to Lian Wushuang, Lei Huang Lian Fengye was his true mortal enemy.
