Gaining a Sacred Realm Apprentice

Under the witness of everyone present, Guixu Jin restored Ao Dalong's divine soul to its rightful place.

Rumble.

The massive body, thousands of meters long, began to stir after its soul was returned.

"Roar—!"

The head that had sunk into the seawater instantly breached the surface, letting out a thunderous roar. Immediately after, the colossal body soared into the clouds, moving like a swimming dragon, rushing and roaring through the sky.

After howling for quite a while, he finally transformed into a human shape and returned to the sea's surface. Standing two meters tall, his face naturally carried a fierce expression. One look was enough to tell he wasn't a good person. Coupled with a head of blue hair, he looked just like a water ghoul.

"Hahahahaha! Old man, thanks!"

Now resurrected, Ao Dalong carelessly tossed a word of thanks to Guixu Jin.

He knew that if the other party hadn't intervened, he would truly be dead.

Guixu Jin's expression remained calm, seemingly accustomed to Ao Dalong's attitude.

"You should thank him."

Guixu Jin looked toward Mo Tianxiao, and Ao Dalong's gaze immediately followed.

Ao Dalong strode over to Mo Tianxiao. Though his eyes held a hint of reluctance, he didn't hesitate to drop to one knee and shout, "Mas... Master!"

To be exact, it was this human cultivator before him who had saved his life and consequently become his master.

Although he felt some resistance in his heart, the existence of the enslavement mark made it futile. Deep in his mind, he had already accepted that the guy in front of him was his master, and he was the other's mount.

This kind of thing was like being etched into his bones, his subconscious telling him that he had to obey this human.

Seeing this scene, Mo Tianxiao was blooming with joy inside, but he kept a serious expression on his face and hurriedly helped the other up.

"Don't be so polite. Being called master is too awkward. Just call me big brother from now on."

If Ao Dalong were a delicate and charming girl, he could tolerate being called master. But looking at his fierce and vicious appearance, being called master by him felt incredibly weird.

"Big brother!"

Ao Dalong's complexion improved a bit. It seemed this human was slightly better than he had imagined.

Calling him big brother was always better than calling him master.

Mo Tianxiao nodded in satisfaction. He now officially had a Saint Realm underling. Not bad, very not bad!

Guixu Jin looked at the group. "Ao Dalong, from now on, you will follow little friend Mo. Remember to restrain your temper and don't cause trouble in the human world."

Ao Dalong couldn't care less. "Old man, don't think that just because you saved me, you can tell me what to do. I will naturally listen to my big brother. I don't need your nagging."

As a member of the Chaotic Star Sea, Ao Dalong didn't give the person in charge of the Chaotic Star Sea any face at all.

That was just his temper. If someone didn't like it, they could beat him up anytime, and he guaranteed he wouldn't complain.

Guixu Jin shook his head and directly vanished the next second.

This wicked flood dragon should hurry up and go plague the human world. It was better he didn't stay in the Chaotic Star Sea, lest he be an eyesore.

"Big brother, let's go quickly! I've wanted to go to the human world for a long time!"

Ao Dalong wasn't as distant as expected. He didn't even recognize that Mo Tianxiao and Yun Sangyi had almost died in his mouth a few years ago.

Seeing his great interest in the human world, Mo Tianxiao was a bit curious. "Ao Dalong, have you never been to the human world?"

He had cultivated to the Saint Realm, which meant he had lived for at least a few thousand years, yet he had never been to the human world.

At the mention of this topic, a trace of displeasure instantly rose on Ao Dalong's face. "It's all because of that old man just now. Every time I secretly went to the human world, I would be caught and brought back by him not long after arriving in the Eastern Region."

"He'd say things like the human world is dangerous and complicated, and that if I went there now, I'd easily be caught and turned into a mount or something."

Ao Dalong spoke indignantly, "Those are all excuses. He was definitely afraid that I wouldn't come back once I went to the human world. After all, I am an existence destined to become a True Dragon in the future. He certainly wouldn't agree to lose a genius like me."

Uh...

Listening to Ao Dalong's speech, Mo Tianxiao felt that his relationship with Senior Guixu should actually be pretty good. No wonder he didn't take Senior Guixu's words seriously at all.

Wasn't this just a grandfather and his rebellious grandson?

"Pfft! Hahahahaha, you're killing me! Just a flood dragon, how much of a genius could you be? It's clearly because the senior didn't want you to suffer losses that he stopped you from going to the human world."

Huang Xiaoyao didn't give Ao Dalong any face at all. Such a narcissistic guy! If it weren't for the fact that he had the potential to become a True Dragon, she would have felt he wasn't worthy of being Brother Tianxiao's mount.

Hmm... maybe she should just wrong herself a bit and become Brother Tianxiao's... ahem!

Thinking of strange images, Huang Xiaoyao inexplicably blushed.

"Hey! You! Don't think that just because you're big brother's little sister and the little princess of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, you can talk to me like that! If I'm unhappy, apart from big brother, I won't give anyone face!"

Being mocked by Huang Xiaoyao made Ao Dalong even more displeased. Since when did a little brat dare to laugh at him?

Did she think the young boss of the Chaotic Star Sea didn't need face?

"Hmph! Do you dare to hit me or something?"

Huang Xiaoyao raised her delicate eyebrows. Her black hair instantly turned crimson, and her entire body emitted a powerful sense of oppression, brimming with a noble aura.

Huang Xiaoyao's temper wasn't that good either; she only appeared gentle when facing Mo Tianxiao. Since when did a flood dragon that had just broken through to the Saint Realm dare to be so insolent in front of her?

A bloodline suppression struck him, and Ao Dalong instantly felt the circulation of spiritual energy in his body slow down a bit. His expression changed slightly.

Was this a top tier demonic beast bloodline? Even though he had broken through to the Saint Realm and his bloodline had advanced to that of a true flood dragon, he could still feel the obvious suppression.

As expected, a flood dragon's bloodline still couldn't compare to these top tier bloodlines. However, he would definitely become a True Dragon in the future, or even a stronger existence. At that time, he wouldn't be weaker than any demonic beast.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around. Since the matter has been resolved, we should continue our journey."

Mo Tianxiao hurriedly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, preventing them from fighting.

"Hmph, for big brother's sake, I won't bicker with you."

Ao Dalong turned his head away, ignoring Huang Xiaoyao.

With that, the team gained another member. Having a Saint Realm great demon directly raised their safety factor by a whole level.

With Ao Dalong as a mount, their travel time was greatly shortened. It didn't take long before they were about to arrive at Falling Cloud City.

Just as they were about to arrive in the human world, Ao Dalong transformed into his human form, and Mo Tianxiao once again disguised himself as a woman. Unsurprisingly, the identity of Mo Tianxiao would temporarily not appear in the days to come.

Replacing it was the rogue cultivator Nan Mo, whose identity was also Yun Sangyi's newly made friend and a rogue guest cultivator of the Yun family from the Western Region.

The group exchanged some supplies in Falling Cloud City and then left the place. Under Yun Sangyi's lead, they headed toward the location of the Blood God Palace's branch in the Eastern Region.

A few days later, the group of four appeared in a border town in the Eastern Region.

Yun Sangyi looked at Mo Tianxiao, her expression unusually serious. "This is the Blood God Palace's branch in the Eastern Region."

This was also where she had received the mission to assassinate Mo Tianxiao.

Mo Tianxiao gazed at the unremarkable town, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "They hid it quite well."

To think that such a small, obscure place would actually house a branch of the Xuanhuang Realm's top assassin organization. An ordinary person would never have suspected a thing.
