Outside Wanyue City, in the Xianglai Forest, when Liu Yu arrived with a small group of carefully selected disciples, there were already quite a few people there, all carefully searching for something.
Liu Yu glanced at them indifferently and knew that these were people arranged by various sects to be stationed in Wanyue City.
Just as he had sent his disciples to open shops on other people's turf, Liu Yu was not surprised to see these outsiders.
However, he showed no intention of stopping, and soon led his disciples past the crowd, heading into the Xianglai Forest.
Those people were originally from various sects and factions who came to Wanyue City. Although they might not all know Liu Yu or have seen him before, they still knew the attire of the inner disciples of the Liuyue Sect.
Seeing this group of inner disciples heading in a certain direction, even if they weren't sure who was leading them, they instinctively followed, hoping to discover something.
They had received orders from their sect to come and gather information after noticing unusual activity here.
But after walking for so long, they still had no clues, and they were starting to panic.
After all, it's not easy to get a task from the ancestor. If they mess it up, they'll truly have no future.
They also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the ancestors were too far away to arrive in time, so they could investigate in advance and surely gain the ancestors' favor. Maybe they could even soar to great heights.
Therefore, upon discovering the group of disciples from the Liuyue Sect, they followed them almost without hesitation.
Liu Yu naturally noticed the people following him, but he didn't care. Let them follow if they want.
Anyway, Liu Yu didn't plan to actually find the place until their ancestor arrived. He would wait until the person behind them arrived before making any decisions.
As for someone who accidentally finds it and stumbles in, that's just bad luck, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
And so, Liu Yu, leading a group of theatrical disciples, began putting on a show in the Xianglai Forest, playing games with the group behind him.
Meanwhile, Lingjun, who was next to the Liuyue Sect's affairs hall, had finally finished distributing the last little cub after being busy for most of the day.
Seeing the many little ones happily drinking milk fruit lying around in the square, Lingjun felt very satisfied.
He adores the little spirit beasts, so he's willing to give them special treatment.
He glanced at the two little ones leaning against the door. Well, this one was still his favorite, even though she always dug herself into a hole.
Lingjun glanced at the empty milk fruit in Shushu's paws, thought for a moment, and was about to give her another one when...
Suddenly, Shushu stood up, walked to Shishou, took something out of his spatial storage, and placed it on the stone, saying as he did so:
"Uncle Lingjun, this is for you. It's a thank-you gift from Shushu."
Lingjun originally wanted to refuse. He gave the baby milk fruit because he liked the baby and didn't ask for anything in return.
But when his gaze fell upon what was in his hands, the words "no need" stuck in his throat and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
What Shushu placed in Shi's hand was a sapling of a Dragon Leaf Treasure Tree, something he had always longed to find.
Because this thing can turn him back into a dragon cub.
Yes, he was actually a golden dragon cub.
Back then, he was just like those little kids, carefree and pampered by his elders, parents, and relatives.
Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up; he just needs to play happily.
Back then, he not only had dragon friends, but also phoenix and Xu clan friends. They were mischievous together, ate, drank, played, and cultivated together.
However, everything was destroyed by that madman.
While he was out playing, that man secretly kidnapped him and even tried to form a contract with him, but he would never agree to that.
He fought back desperately, but he was too young to fight back and could only watch helplessly as his opponent bled him out and skinned him.
When he was on the verge of death, it was a group of ordinary, intelligent spirit beast cubs who had also been captured who worked together to get him out.
Unfortunately, he was quickly discovered by the cultivator who had escaped and was pursued by a group of pursuers. At that time, he was already on his last breath and had no strength left to escape.
Just when he was about to be captured, he discovered this unknown secret place.
Without a second thought, he risked his life to break through the narrow passage just big enough for him and rushed inside.
Then, the moment he entered the secret realm, his golden dragon body was completely destroyed, but by chance, his only remaining soul arrived at the heart of the secret realm.
He thought he would be expelled by the Heart of the Secret Realm, but to his surprise, the Heart of the Secret Realm not only did not expel him, but also nurtured him.
As a result, he retained a sliver of hope and began to sleep. Later, for reasons unknown, he inexplicably became the spirit of the secret realm.
When he regained his senses, he found a large group of cultivators outside, who seemed to have finally discovered the secret realm and wanted to enter.
His former enemy was also among them, and his cultivation level was much higher than before.
With both old and new grudges combined, Ling Jun could not bear it any longer. Without thinking, he broke through the mirror and went out, killing the person with all his might. As a result, he exhausted his spiritual power and fell into a deep sleep again.
Fortunately, before he fell into a deep sleep, he remembered to firmly close the secret realm, preventing those people from entering.
During this time, it briefly awoke and even tried to escape with the secret realm.
Unfortunately, before he could make a move, he was discovered by the humans who came.
Those humans, coveting what was inside his secret realm, joined forces to set up a trap, trapping themselves in place.
In order to break through their own barriers, those people even personally entered the trapped formation and studied it day and night, all in an attempt to open themselves up.
Unfortunately, even after the spiritual energy on this continent suddenly became scarce, those people never came to a conclusion. He also fell into a deep sleep and remained silent.
It wasn't until Shushu accidentally entered the little secret place he used to conceal his identity and broke it that he was awakened again.
The Dragon Leaf Treasure Tree is the only thing that can restore his dragon form.
He didn't know how Shushu could tell, nor where Shushu had gotten the Dragon Leaf Treasure Tree from, but at this moment, he truly couldn't refuse this gift of gratitude.
