Just as Huo Feng was laughing happily, the restrictions on Murong Yu's secluded room suddenly opened.
Fire Phoenix's laughter stopped abruptly, and she turned around to look.
Instead of the humanoid Murong Yu it had been longing for, what emerged was a golden dragon with astonishing power.
It was tens of meters long, with crimson-gold dragon horns on its head, golden dragon scales covering its body, and sharp claws on its feet. It was agile and swirling in the air above the Palace of Supreme Love. Its dragon whiskers flew in the wind. A loud dragon roar made the fire phoenix's head spin.
Just as the Fire Phoenix was about to rebuke, the Golden Dragon transformed into human form and fell from the sky.
Compared to before, his appearance has changed a lot; he is now taller and more robust, with more defined and sculpted features.
Her once straight, long, black hair had transformed into long, slightly wavy golden hair, and her eyes were deep and her pupils were bright gold.
He wore a golden robe with dragon patterns, its shimmering light seemingly formed from dragon scales.
Her skin was fair and her muscles were firm. A small golden dragon mark between her eyebrows shone brightly, and the golden dragon turned its head to protect the purple lotus between her eyebrows.
A golden phantom of a divine dragon surrounded Murong Yu, its power overwhelming.
Upon landing, the phantom of the divine dragon merged into Murong Yu's body.
At the same time, the light from the mark between his eyebrows dimmed, concealing its presence.
Murong Yu raised his eyes, glanced at the fire phoenix, and nodded to it. The fire phoenix met his bright golden eyes and froze on the spot.
Murong Yu stepped forward and bowed to Yu Xingchen, saying, "Greetings, Master."
Yu Xingchen looked at Murong Yu, who was much taller than him, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, praising, "Not bad, not bad."
He thought to himself, "As expected of someone with the bloodline of a divine dragon. A thousand years ago, I was about the same height as him, but now I'm more than half a head taller and much stronger."
The fire phoenix finally came to its senses, closed its wide-open beak, flew to Murong Yu's side, and said with some uncertainty, "Are you really an idiot?"
Murong Yu nodded.
The fire phoenix covered its mouth with its wings, looking shocked, and said, "My God, you've changed so much! Even humans might not recognize you."
Murong Yu: "No."
Fire Phoenix asked, puzzled, "What can't you do?"
Murong Yu's lips curled into a slight smile. "Aqing wouldn't fail to recognize me."
Fire Phoenix nodded and said, "That's right. Humans are the smartest, so she'll definitely recognize you."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yu's expression softened, and he replied softly, "Mm."
Fire Phoenix looked at Murong Yu and continued to ask, "Are you now at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm?"
Murong Yu nodded.
After ascending to immortality, one transforms into a novice immortal at the Ascension Platform, then progresses to True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Emperor.
Murong Yu broke through to the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm directly on the Ascension Platform. Afterward, he secluded himself for a thousand years and broke through three major realms and fourteen minor realms, reaching the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
After becoming an immortal, each time one breaks through a major realm, one no longer experiences a tribulation of lightning, but instead undergoes a trial by heaven to examine one's conscience.
Those who pass the Heavenly Dao Inquiry will successfully break through in their cultivation; those who fail will fail.
Murong Yu cultivated the Way of Love, and although he was briefly separated from Mu Qing for some reason.
However, his affection for it only grew stronger, and his resolve to follow the Dao was unwavering. He not only passed the Heavenly Dao's test of conscience but also gained the Heavenly Dao's approval.
This is also the main reason why his cultivation level broke through to the peak of Immortal Emperor in just a thousand years.
Of course, in addition to these factors, there was also the awakening of his divine dragon bloodline, as well as the fact that Fire Phoenix and Jade Star Dust provided ample cultivation resources.
Seeing Murong Yu nod, Huo Feng paused for a moment, then cheered, "That's great, that's great!"
"Finally, I can go find the fragrant human."
The fire phoenix flew between Yu Xingchen and Murong Yu, looked at Yu Xingchen and then at Murong Yu, and asked impatiently, "Master Xingchen, Master Xingchen, when shall we depart?"
"You idiot, you idiot, when are we going to find the fragrant human?"
Upon hearing that they were going to find Mu Qing, Dian Dian and Xiao Jin flew over and surrounded the two of them.
Yu Xingchen and Murong Yu exchanged a glance, reached a consensus, and set off immediately.
Murong Yu raised his hand and put Dian Dian and Xiao Jin into the dimensional space.
Yu Xingchen reached out and touched the fire phoenix's feathers. "Let's go, let's set off now."
