Chapter 151: Dragon Island!

"I heard that you embarrassed the daughter of the Gu Clan's head in the northwest continent?" Void Swallowing Flame looked at Yun Yi with interest, responding with a question rather than answering Yun Yi.

"Just a minor conflict!" Yun Yi nodded, not expecting such a trivial matter to be hidden from Void Swallowing Flame. His tone was calm, as if it were an insignificant incident.

"Minor conflict?" Void Swallowing Flame's smile deepened. "I heard that you've made it onto the Gu Clan's Black Abyss Army blacklist. They're now eager to catch you to avenge their young lady!"

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant fools living in arrogance. If they want to come, let them!" Yun Yi said disdainfully. He stood up and looked at Void Swallowing Flame, "If there's nothing within the Soul Clan, I plan to visit Central State and see if those guys dare to appear before me?"

"Calm down for a while, don't provoke the Gu Clan again. Because of your previous actions, my power has already been exposed. The Gu Clan is now very sensitive. Provoking them further would affect our plans, and for now, the Soul Clan cannot afford to go to war with the Gu Clan."

Void Swallowing Flame's voice came from behind, taking on an unusually serious tone towards the end.

"I understand!" Yun Yi nodded and walked out of the hall.

"Hehehe, an interesting flame!"

Void Swallowing Flame watched Yun Yi's departing figure until he completely disappeared from the hall. After a moment of silence, a low chuckle echoed through the hall.

That day, everyone gathered in Jiang Yun's courtyard.

Jiang Yun looked at Su Qian, who had broken through to Dou Zun, and smiled, "Great Elder, who knows how many years it will be until we meet again? I hope the next time we meet, you would have become a Dou Zun!"

"Sigh—" Su Qian sighed, looking at Jiang Yun and Zi Yan with mixed feelings. It felt like it was just yesterday when he met the two of them. In the end, he said nothing, only solemnly reminding them, "Stay safe."

Jiang Yun and Zi Yan nodded, acknowledging the Great Elder's care for them.

"To go from the northwest continent to Central State, you need to take a spatial wormhole. The nearest one to Black-Corner Region is in Tianya City, which is thousands of miles away. This Griffin will serve as your transport!"

Su Qian waved his hand, summoning a massive shadow. With a screech, it descended from the sky, its giant wings creating a gust of wind that bowed the surrounding small trees.

Looking at the Griffin before them, Jiang Yun and Zi Yan exchanged amused glances. With Zhu Kun, a nine-star Dou Saint, why would they need a spatial wormhole?

They hadn't revealed Zhu Kun's true strength to avoid causing any alarm.

"Thank you, Great Elder," Jiang Yun cupped his fists and smiled at Su Qian, then said, "Uncle Zhu Kun's strength is not weak, so we won't need the spatial wormhole in Tianya City!"

As Jiang Yun finished speaking, Su Qian and the two old men were still in a daze.

Zhu Kun casually waved his right hand in the air, creating a three-zhang wide spatial crack before everyone's eyes.

Seeing this scene, the Great Elder and the two old men were shocked, quietly swallowing their saliva. They realized Zhu Kun's strength was far more profound than they thought!

"Great Elder, we bid farewell!"

A hearty chuckle brought their attention back. Jiang Yun and Zi Yan waved to them and then stepped into the spatial crack.

Qinglin, Little Doctor Fairy, and Medusa followed closely, and, last of all, Zhu Kun nodded to Su Qian before slowly disappearing from their sight.

"Zi Yan's father is perhaps even scarier than we imagined!" After they left, the two elders couldn't help but sigh.

"With such a pillar, Zi Yan is even more carefree and unruly?" Su Qian couldn't help but ponder, breaking into a laugh, "With Jiang Yun looking after her, why should I worry?"

"Roar!"

In the void passage, Zhu Kun summoned a shadow of a Taixu Ancient Dragon, carrying everyone as they sped in a certain direction.

Violent silver space turbulence constantly swept past them along the way.

Ahead was an infinite void. Zhu Kun carved out a space tunnel from this void.

The surrounding space was filled with unsettling darkness, and dense spatial fluctuations emanated from it. The entire passage was extremely silent, with no other sounds.

Zhu Kun then created a protective shield around them, rich in spatial power, looking mysterious. The protective shield Zhu Kun casually set up was undoubtedly more stable than any spatial ship out there.

In the Dou Qi Continent, Zhu Kun's understanding of space surpassed everyone. Not even Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi could match him.

The four women, seeing this scene for the first time, were curiously observing the surroundings.

Jiang Yun, quite familiar with the scenario, looked at Zhu Kun ahead and asked, "Uncle, you've been missing for thousands of years. The Gu Long Tribe couldn't find you and probably have undergone some significant changes!"

Hearing Jiang Yun, everyone focused their attention on Zhu Kun.

That's right. Zhu Kun, the Dragon Emperor, hadn't been missing for ten or a hundred years but thousands! Even for long-lived Taixu Ancient Dragons, thousands of years could erase many things. Who knew if the dragons from Zhu Kun's era were even still around?

"When I left, there were still several high-star Dou Shengs in the tribe. With their cultivation and our ancient dragon tribe's longevity, unless an Empire-level force attacked, the tribe should remain stable!" Zhu Kun said confidently, trusting the tribe's stability.

As long as those high-star Dou Shengs stayed intact, no one could shake the Gu Long Tribe.

Hearing this, the women nodded. Zhu Kun's strength and vast knowledge of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Tribe made his words trustworthy.

However, Jiang Yun, while outwardly appearing thoughtful, couldn't help but secretly scoff.

Father-in-law, you have too much faith in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Tribe. The three Dragon Kings in the northwest, south, and north caused a split. Your high-star Dou Sheng elders, unwilling to see internal strife, ventured into the void to find you and restore order.

Wonder if Zhu Kun would cough up blood seeing this state!

Truth be told, if it weren't for the advantage of the Dragon Island's secretive location, difficult for ordinary people to find, the void within the Taixu Ancient Dragon Tribe wouldn't have remained unknown for thousands of years.

If this news reached others, Jiang Yun was confident those Empire-level forces would be lured, dividing the Gu Long Tribe's assets.

Magical beasts' blood essence and cores were treasures, especially with ninth-order magical beasts almost extinct. A force comparable to the Soul Hall would be seen as fish on the chopping board.

When that happens, even Zhu Kun and other experts returning wouldn't be enough!

"Once back at Dragon Island, Zi Yan can undergo the baptism ceremony." Zhu Kun looked at Zi Yan with love, then his expression turned solemn, "Earlier, I sensed that Zi Yan's bloodline was awakened prematurely due to external stimulus, and subsequent use of powerful Dou Techniques caused instability."

Zhu Kun's face turned worried. Zi Yan lowered her head guiltily.

"Luckily, you later obtained some heavenly treasures, which stabilized your bloodline astonishingly. Now, it's more refined than before. After the tribe's baptism ceremony, your bloodline quality might surpass mine at the same age!" Zhu Kun proudly declared. For a father doting on his daughter, there's no greater achievement than her being outstanding.

"That's good news!" Everyone sighed in relief.

"Oh?" Zhu Kun suddenly remembered something, looking at Zi Yan and Jiang Yun, asking, "Did you encounter any heavenly treasures recently? It had such a positive effect on Zi Yan's bloodline."

Jiang Yun, Zi Yan, and Medusa exchanged glances. Jiang Yun spoke up, "It started with the Yun Lan Sect."

After Jiang Yun briefly recounted the events, Zhu Kun's eyes gleamed, "Indeed, there's a broader world outside. So that's why the Dou Di lineage vanished over millennia. Beyond the Dou Qi Continent, the void holds such fragments."

Zhu Kun's eyes shown with excitement, "Jiang Yun, do you think there might be breakthroughs to Dou Di within these fragments?"

Becoming a Dou Di was Zhu Kun's lifelong pursuit. If not for the Yuan Qi barrier, he'd have become the new Dragon Emperor long ago. This pursuit even trapped him for thousands of years in the Ancient Emperor's cave. Dou Di was an obsession for him at this point.

"I've never been clear about the Yuan Qi needed to break through Dou Qi, so I can't be sure!" Jiang Yun shook his head. The Yuan Qi needed for becoming a Dou Di was an unknown variable.

Breaking through Dou Sheng to Dou Di required more than ordinary spiritual power from the Great Thousand World. It must be an extremely primal force.

"Is that so!" Zhu Kun sighed, shaking his head in disappointment, "Let's not dwell on it. After all, I've been trapped in the Ancient Emperor's cave. Breaking through to Dou Di now depends on you and Zi Yan. Once I'm entirely free, I'll bask in your glory and visit the Upper Realms to witness the grander scenery!"

As they journeyed forward, they traversed the space channel for half an hour. Finally, within the monotonous darkness appeared a touch of silver light.

Looking closely, they saw a silver halo floating faintly at the end.

"Are we there?"

Seeing the halo, everyone's spirits lifted. The giant dragon beneath them accelerated slightly, and moments later carried them into the silver halo as a flash of flowing light.

Passing through the halo, their vision blurred for a moment before suddenly becoming bright. The monotony of silver vanished, replaced by lush greenery and peaks that filled their view again.

"This is..."

Standing in midair, everyone looked in amazement at the land before them.

Giant islands appeared, vast in area. Over the island's sky was a faint silver bowl-like light shield covering the entire terrain.

Outside these shields was a heart-chilling void space.

These floating islands within the void were the Gu Long Tribe's innate advantage!

Void space was treacherous, deterring even Dou Zun experts from straying, fortifying the Gu Long Tribe's mystique.

"What a grand setup..." Medusa sighed at the scene, thinking, if the Heaven Swallowing Python Tribe hadn't been destroyed and had continued to this day, would they be like the Gu Long Tribe?

"Congratulations, Sister Zi Yan, you're becoming a real rich woman!" Qinglin teased Zi Yan with a laugh.

Zi Yan, adopting a big sister's posture, hugged Qinglin and assured her proudly, "Qinglin, stick with me. I won't let you down, haha!"

Watching Zi Yan's overconfidence, Jiang Yun shook his head with a smile, while Medusa and Little Doctor Fairy chuckled beside him.

No one noticed Zhu Kun's face transition from excitement to a darkening expression as they approached.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun was stunned, then understood. Zhu Kun, with his Imperial Realm soul, must have probed Dragon Island immediately upon arrival.

He had confidently declared about Dragon Island's stability. Now, immediately proven wrong, how could Zhu Kun not be furious?

Sympathies to the three Dragon Kings!

"What's wrong, Father?" Zi Yan sensed Zhu Kun's odd mood, worrying and asking gently.

Feeling their eyes on him, Zhu Kun's thick skin couldn't hide his shame. He hated the traitors splitting Dragon Island, making him lose face before Zi Yan.

"Anyone capable from the Gu Long Tribe, come out immediately!"

Boom!

As Zhu Kun's rage erupted, the world trembled. Space around him quaked and shattered, drawing energy from thousands of miles away.

Centered on Zhu Kun, waves formed, with his imperial soul's pressure engulfing the entire Dragon Island.

A cold shout echoed in every Taixu Ancient Dragon's ear. At that moment, all their souls trembled violently.
