She formed hand seals, forcing herself to calm down. She adjusted her breathing and summoned the Chaos Divine Thunder. Her fingers pressed several acupoints on her body, and soon the arrogant aura weakened considerably.
Xie Zhou used Chaos Divine Thunder to directly imprison the Azure Dragon.
The cage of lightning rendered the Azure Dragon unable to move.
If it makes the slightest movement, the powerful lightning will strike it, and it will soon be burned to a crisp by the chaotic divine lightning. The Azure Dragon, of course, cherishes its life and dares not move rashly.
Seeing Xie Zhou's hidden strength, they realized that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Qinglong hurriedly begged Xie Zhou for mercy.
“I’m sorry, sir, but I’ve been trapped in this place for countless years. I really want to get out. I had a moment of evil thought. I’m sorry, I feel ashamed of what I did. But every night, I’m enveloped by endless loneliness and desolation, and so much bloodlust invades my body. I’m suffering terribly. I just want to leave this cage. Even being in this cage is much better than being in that place…”
"However, you are beautiful and kind-hearted, so if I leave your body, you can use this cage to imprison me again and take me away. If not, then just let me stay in this place..."
Qinglong, now in human form, lay on the ground, looking indifferent to his future. Xie Zhou was actually a little soft-hearted upon hearing this, so he said, "Alright, since you are truly repentant, then I will let you go. You have to swear an oath and guarantee it with something that is most important to you, otherwise I will think you are deceiving me, otherwise it wouldn't be too much for you to die in front of me dozens of times."
Seeing that she had agreed, Qinglong's face immediately lit up with a smile. He quickly stepped forward, nodded, and said, "Good, good..."
The Azure Dragon took out its own dragon scale, the most important one, known as the Heartguard.
It endured the pain and pulled out the dragon scale.
"Ah... um..."
Seeing this, Xie Zhou quickly took the scales in his hand and released the cage of the Chaos Divine Lightning.
Upon seeing this, the Azure Dragon's body began to swell, as it intended to possess Xie Zhou once more. Xie Zhou's face cracked; the Azure Dragon's intentions were indeed not to be easily trusted. A wolf in sheep's clothing, a demon beast is still a demon beast.
Xie Zhou was instantly amplified by the Chaos Divine Lightning, which directly suppressed him.
This time, the Azure Dragon was filled with remorse. It kept apologizing and begging for mercy, but Xie Zhou did not waver. She suppressed it tightly. In order to make herself more aware, Xie Zhou suddenly tightened the cage. The Azure Dragon was struck by the Chaos Divine Lightning countless times and quickly lost a lot of power.
At this point, the system said, "Host, why don't you take it in and shatter some of its evil remnant soul? That should solve the problem."
Is there another way?
"That's right!"
With the system's help, Xie Zhou remodeled the Azure Dragon, letting go of what should go and keeping what should stay.
Xie Zhou then signed a contract with the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon.
"The contract has been formed. From now on, you'll be with me..."
"Yes, Master..."
She successfully obtained all of Qinglong's inheritance, and Qinglong told Xie Zhou.
"Master, in this ancient battlefield of gods and demons, there is also the legacy of the ancient divine beast Xuanwu. Azure Dragon can take you to the place where Xuanwu's legacy is located."
Since the transformation, Qinglong's personality has changed a lot. He's no longer as sarcastic as before, and he's much more pleasant to look at. Xie Zhou saw that his smile hadn't faded. Who wouldn't feel comfortable looking at such a stunningly beautiful face?
Xie Zhou nodded, wondering what Xuanwu was planning. Was it going to possess his body or simply kill him?
She carefully counted the magical beasts she had collected over the past few days, which were countless. Fortunately, her storage space could hold a lot of things. In addition, the Azure Dragon usually transformed into human form, so she could hide its scales and horns. Even if she brought it to the Sword Sect in the future, no one would notice.
That's great, but the other contracted divine beasts can't do that, so they've been staying in the storage space.
Since there's still one left, let's go and meet it.
Xie Zhou felt that her strength had reached a new level. Having obtained the Azure Dragon's inheritance, she felt that her strength had reached its peak. Although she was still only a remnant soul Azure Dragon, she did not expect that its power was also very strong.
She now possesses various powers, yet they are remarkably unified without any apparent conflict. This is very favorable to Xie Zhou, as it would be extremely frustrating for him if her power were to become too overwhelming and cause her to explode and die.
"Alright, let's set off... Azure Dragon, have you ever seen Black Tortoise? What does it look like?"
Azure Dragon led the way, explaining as they walked, "Black Tortoise is actually quite good-looking. Back then, we were a major force among magical beasts. Its original form looks a lot like a tortoise, but it is also a descendant of dragons, so its power is undeniable. Once you subdue it, you should become extremely powerful!"
"Um……"
Xie Zhou and the remnant soul of the Azure Dragon headed in other directions on the ancient demon battlefield, preparing to find the tomb of the Black Tortoise.
After walking for a while, Xie Zhou and Qinglong suddenly stopped.
Because they were blocked by a very powerful barrier.
Qinglong was somewhat puzzled. He raised his hand to touch the barriers and found that they did indeed exist. His brows furrowed even more.
Seeing that he was constantly tapping on the barrier, Xie Zhou stepped forward and asked, "Is there something wrong with Azure Dragon?"
Qinglong lowered his stubborn hand and said, "Master, there was originally no barrier here, nothing at all, but suddenly a barrier appeared here, so something must have happened here."
"It's very likely that Xuanwu encountered some danger."
Xie Zhou nodded, and she said, "Azure Dragon, step back..."
Xie Zhou unleashed his life-force sword intent, using both hands as blades, and broke the barrier with a single attack.
The barrier crumbled, and after a gap was punched in it, it disappeared.
Xie Zhou and Qinglong then went inside to search for Xuanwu.
At this moment, Xie Zhou noticed a large, dark mass not far ahead.
Xie Zhou gestured for silence, and the two slowly moved behind those "people." When they got closer, Xie Zhou could see that they were a large group of strange monsters from the Upper Realm, all of which were covered in blood.
Then, the Azure Dragon seemed to have discovered something, pointing to that spot and whispering, "Master, that's the entrance to the Black Tortoise's tomb!"
Xie Zhou looked closely and indeed found that Xuanwu's tomb was surrounded by those strange, ancient creatures.
She concealed her aura and activated her spiritual power to protect herself, while Qinglong provided support from the rear. As long as Xie Zhou could not withstand the attack, Qinglong would step in to help.
