"Ahem, well, you father and daughter chat first. Old Lin and I have something to talk about."
An Yi smiled awkwardly and quickly retreated.
Once An Yi left, Long Aoxue also stopped talking.
She held a spirit core and gnawed on it.
"Do you want to eat?"
Long Aoxue took out a spirit core and asked.
Long Tianyuan smiled. "I am currently a soul body and cannot eat."
"Oh."
Long Aoxue nodded.
Then, with a crunching sound, she chewed up the spirit core in her hand.
Seeing this scene left Long Tianyuan feeling a bit helpless.
This was not how the Dragon Race ate.
Long Tianyuan gazed at Long Aoxue, his eyes revealing a bit of doting affection, and smiled faintly. "Where is your mother?"
Long Aoxue shook her head. "I don't know."
As soon as she was born, she was in an alternate world similar to a storage space.
There, she absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to survive.
She waited until she was strong enough before breaking through the alternate world and coming to the secular world.
She spent years in the mountains and forests, accompanied by hundreds of beasts.
The lifespan of the Dragon Race was long; a thousand years, in her eyes, was nothing but a fleeting moment.
Feeling that life was boring, Long Aoxue chose to sleep deeply.
When she woke up again, she appeared in the basement of the Nie family villa and met An Yi.
"Aoxue, a good name. Did your mother give it to you?"
Long Tianyuan asked curiously.
"I have never seen my mother. This name was given to me by an old woman when I first came to this world."
Long Aoxue showed a curious expression and asked, "What kind of person was my mother?"
Long Tianyuan revealed a bit of melancholy and said slowly, "She was a very gentle woman..."
Although Long Tianyuan had over a hundred wives, Long Aoxue's mother was undoubtedly his most favored one.
Now, five thousand years had passed.
The whole world had undergone tremendous changes.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exhausted.
The once-great Dragon Race had disappeared.
Long Tianyuan felt that things remained but people had changed.
Long Aoxue quietly listened to Long Tianyuan's narration, her purple eyes revealing a bit of gentleness.
On the other side.
Lin Chen leaned against the wall, drinking wine, and said, "That's roughly how it is. Elder Long and I made an agreement. I would bring him out, and he would teach me spiritual arts."
An Yi glanced at him. "You're crazy. How dare you bring out such a dangerous guy? Aren't you afraid of being tricked?"
Lin Chen shrugged. "The matters involved are far more complex than you imagine."
"This Uncle Long is one of the Three Great Fiends, and ranked first at that!"
An Yi said helplessly.
With a clink, Lin Chen set down his wine bottle. He sat cross-legged on the beach, his eyes slightly tipsy. "Do you know why Elder Long is called one of the Three Great Fiends?"
An Yi rolled his eyes at him. "How would I know?"
"Five thousand years ago, Elder Long was still the guardian deity of the human race,"
Lin Chen said indifferently, gazing at the exceptionally lively bonfire party outside.
Hearing this, An Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Lin Chen continued, "Tens of thousands of years ago, this world was still in the Savage Era. Demonic beasts ran rampant, and the human race was nowhere near as dominant as it is now.
In a world ruled by demonic beasts, the human race was in constant peril. It was the Dragon Race, the most powerful at the time, that provided shelter to the humans, allowing them to survive and multiply.
Later, humans inadvertently learned how to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Thus, during that period, the human race began to grow strong.
By cultivating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they gradually mastered the methods of refining spiritual power and fought against the demonic beasts.
In that Savage Era, they gradually rose to dominance.
Five thousand years ago, mighty figures emerged in large numbers among the human race, their strength firmly suppressing the various demonic tribes.
Although the overall strength of the demonic beasts was not weaker than that of the humans, they fought individually. The human race, on the other hand, excelled at banding together, defeating the many demonic tribes one by one.
Among them, the Tengu, the Roc, and the Yinglong were revered in the demonic tribes, and they were also known as the Three Great Fiends of that era.
Hong Tian was the first to be sealed! Followed by Nie Xuan!"
Hearing this, An Yi interrupted Lin Chen, "Wait, then the Dragon Race..."
"Because the human race discovered the secret of the Dragon Race!"
Lin Chen said in a deep voice. "Immortality!"
Immortality!!
An Yi was shocked.
This was simply unbelievable.
"The Dragon Pearl of a dragon is the core material for the elixir of immortality. Therefore, those great experts of the human race, for the sake of immediate benefits, bit the hand that fed them and launched a massacre against the Dragon Race,"
Lin Chen continued, his voice carrying a bit of heaviness.
An Yi remained silent, and after a long while, asked, "And then?"
"Within the Dragon Race, not every dragon possessed a Dragon Pearl. Only those with the purest bloodlines had the possibility of forming one..."
Lin Chen said slowly.
An Yi also fell silent.
Human nature was inherently greedy.
He could already guess the rest of it.
The truth was indeed so.
The mighty figures of the human race, in order to harvest the most Dragon Pearls and obtain the elixir of immortality, slaughtered the entire Dragon Race!
When Long Tianyuan returned from his secluded cultivation, all he saw were dragon corpses scattered everywhere.
In that moment, Long Tianyuan descended into madness and launched a brutal revenge against the human race!
In order to suppress Long Tianyuan.
The mighty figures of the human race branded him with the title of a fiend, joined forces with numerous experts, and took him down.
They originally wanted to take the opportunity to snatch Long Tianyuan's Dragon Pearl.
But Long Tianyuan was a Yinglong, possessing the most powerful bloodline of the Dragon Race!
Although they joined hands and exhausted all schemes to trap Long Tianyuan, they could not break through his body to take the Dragon Pearl.
Left with no choice, the human experts had to seal Long Tianyuan in a small world.
Relying on a grand formation, they continuously drained his spiritual energy, intending to take the Dragon Pearl once his strength was completely exhausted.
But unexpectedly, this seal lasted for five thousand years.
An Yi pondered, "If it's a formation, I might have a way to open it."
His lock-picking skill had already reached the max level.
There was no seal or spiritual formation he couldn't break.
Lin Chen said, "The sealing formation collapsed long ago. It's just that Elder Long's body was almost completely drained of spiritual energy by the formation. Now, his true body remains resting in the Immortal Gate small world."
"What about those mighty human figures? Did they obtain the power of immortality?"
An Yi asked.
Lin Chen shook his head and said, "There's no way to know. A few hundred years later, those mighty figures disappeared one by one, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on Blue Star also became increasingly scarce.
As early as a thousand years ago, it was already impossible to cultivate spiritual energy on Blue Star. Thus, martial artists began to explore and eventually mastered the cultivation method of inner vigor."
"Now that's interesting."
An Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
The mighty human figures who sealed the Three Great Fiends all vanished.
Following that, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually dissipated.
If someone said these two events weren't connected, probably no one would believe it.
After hearing this, An Yi pondered, "Then what's the deal with Long Aoyun? Didn't you say the mighty human figures slaughtered the Dragon Race back in the Savage Era?"
"That brings us to Long Aoyun's origins."
Lin Chen said slowly. "At that time, the mighty human figures launched a massacre against the Dragon Race, but a portion of the dragons were sheltered by humans."
"Sheltered by humans?"
An Yi was slightly taken aback.
Lin Chen nodded. "That's right. The Great Xia tribe among the humans hid some dragons and helped them escape the crisis. Afterward, to repay this debt of gratitude, these dragons became the guardian deities of the Great Xia clan."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
