In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

The Dragon Balls have been born?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan frowned.

He had five Dragon Balls, one belonging to the Dragon Emperor, and the whereabouts of the remaining two were unknown, but Zhang Xiaoshan felt that these treasures should already have an owner.

After all, the Dragon Lord has a spirit and can choose its own master.

At this time, a dragon pearl appeared in the Western Regions. Based on Zhang Xiaoshan's experience, he felt that something was amiss.

"Investigate which force leaked this information and what their purpose is."

"Yes, son!"

Liu Sheng Piaoxu disappeared from Zhang Xiaoshan's side, while Zhang Xiaoshan glanced at the three-legged golden crow not far away.

During the three months, in addition to guiding the three juniors in their cultivation during his spare time, Zhang Xiaoshan himself was also cultivating the Yin-Yang School's secret technique—Dragon Soaring Qi.

What he wanted to exchange was Zhang Xiaoshan's other ultimate skill, the Nine Yin Divine Skill.

However, the Nine Yin Manual only has the first ten levels, and it cannot be passed on to outsiders.

Zhang Xiaoshan made no attempt to conceal any of this, and it was all witnessed by the three-legged golden crow formed from Yanfei's dragon-swimming energy.

The one who exchanged cultivation techniques with Zhang Xiaoshan was not Yan Fei, but Yue Shen.

Under pressure from Zhang Xiaoshan, the Moon Goddess chose to compromise.

At least on the Mirage Tower, cooperating with the Zhang family is a sure-fire way to make money.

Moreover, the Nine Yin Divine Skill that Zhang Xiaoshan passed on to her could reach the Grandmaster realm at the tenth level. Furthermore, after reaching the peak of the ninth level, she could use the Pure Yang Divine Skill in conjunction with it to help her directly advance to the Pure Yin realm of the tenth Grandmaster level.

With such a generous reward, the Moon Goddess naturally knew how to choose.

Moreover, she didn't directly betray the Yin-Yang School, but rather cooperated with the Zhang family at sea.

When they returned from the sea, who knew what had become of the Yin-Yang School?

On the contrary, she may be a meritorious contributor to the Yin-Yang School, preserving its legacy.

···

"almost!"

Regardless of whether the Dragon Ball is real or not, Zhang Xiaoshan has to travel to the Western Regions after its birth.

Because he was going to Kunlun Mountain soon to build the Tiger God Temple, and would also take a trip to the Western Regions.

If it's true, he can gain a Dragon Ball; if it's a trap, it's none of his business, unless the trap was set specifically for him.

hold head high!

Suddenly, a series of dragon roars emanated from Zhang Xiaoshan's body.

Immediately amidst the tremors of the three-legged golden crow, a roaring, ferocious blood dragon wreathed in crimson flames rose up behind Zhang Xiaoshan.

Compared to the magnificent three-legged golden crow, this blood dragon exudes a terrifying and awe-inspiring aura of extreme yang energy.

This is a blood dragon formed by the condensation of dragon's breath, dragon's blood and pure yang spirit, and is Zhang Xiaoshan's pinnacle work in cultivating the secret arts of yin and yang.

With the assistance of the Fusang Divine Tree, this Blood Dragon is not like the Three-Legged Golden Crow, which has no offensive power. It contains terrifying dragon saliva blood energy and supreme yang divine fire, which, like a fire demon, can unleash the domineering attack of a top-level grandmaster.

"It's done!"

With Zhang Xiaoshan's level of cultivation, he could have condensed a blood dragon long ago.

He simply separated a portion of his pure Yang primordial spirit, combined it with the Heavenly Fire of the Black Armored Demon God, and condensed it into his own Dragon Soaring Qi.

Therefore, this blood dragon, though newly born, possesses strength no less than that of the legendary fire demon.

Moreover, by attaching itself to the Fusang Divine Tree, the Blood Dragon can not only absorb the power of the Fusang Divine Tree to strengthen itself, but the mysterious power of the Fusang Divine Tree can also preserve the spiritual power of the Blood Dragon and the Three-Legged Golden Crow, preventing them from dissipating directly due to the departure of their physical bodies.

Just like the giant bronze coffin, which could preserve the primordial spirit of the Queen Mother of the West for two thousand years, so too can this Fusang divine tree.

Moreover, the Fusang 2.0 Divine Tree is a legendary treasure, even more wondrous than the bronze coffin.

Moreover, with the enhancement of 300,000 merits, it becomes even more mysterious.

After being strengthened by merit, the Fusang Divine Tree itself became Zhang Xiaoshan's treasure, and was close to Zhang Xiaoshan's aura.

Now, the blood dragon coils around it, as if it were in its element, a perfect harmony between heaven and man.

The Blood Dragon became an avatar of Zhang Xiaoshan, and the Fusang Divine Tree was its vessel.

"Congratulations, sir!"

When the dragon's roar was heard, the Moon Goddess had already left the Moon Palace and saw the blood dragon coiled on the Fusang Divine Tree.

This is the highest level of Yin-Yang secret arts, and Zhang Xiaoshan's blood dragon is clearly no ordinary creature. Its aura is many times stronger than Dongjun's three-legged golden crow.

Any kind of deep-seated fear would render her utterly powerless against the Blood Dragon.

Chapter 721 The Mirage Dragon Pearl? The Ancient Loulan Clan

"He really left?"

Yun Zhongjun gazed at a ferocious blood snake on the Fusang Divine Tree, which was the incarnation of the Blood Dragon.

Like the three-legged golden crow, it monitors every move on the ship.

However, Dongjun was sealed somewhere on the ship, and the three-legged golden crow was just a pair of eyes.

It is said that Zhang Xiaoshan has already left Sanghai City. At such a distance, even if Zhang Xiaoshan is a master of the Grandmaster realm, the blood dragon condensed with his spiritual power and dragon qi should have dissipated.

But now the Blood Dragon has not only not dissipated, it has instead settled on the Fusang Divine Tree, lying flat as if in a trance.

"They've already left. The reason the Blood Dragon hasn't dissipated is probably because of the Fusang Divine Tree."

Yun Zhongjun also knew that the Fusang Divine Tree had been strengthened by the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl, and its merit was five times that of the Supreme Divine Weapon. How could we possibly fathom its full wonders?

"They probably don't trust us, so they left a blood dragon to monitor us."

The Moon Goddess observed the blood serpent, which was extremely well hidden. If they hadn't known of its existence, they might not have been able to detect its movements in a short time.

At this time, beneath the Fusang Divine Tree.

Apart from Zizhong and Zhao Longxiang, who continued to cultivate, Zian and Zijun both left Sanghai.

Zizhong was left here by Zhang Xiaoshan to cultivate using the Fusang Divine Tree.

This also relieved many forces.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan's goal was to enable his youngest son to accelerate his cultivation with the help of the Fusang Divine Tree, and even break through to the Grandmaster level.

But in the eyes of the public, wasn't he also a hostage?

With Zhang Zhong accompanying them on their journey overseas, they were at least half relieved, no longer worried about being scammed by the Zhang family.

However, Zhang Zhong understood Zhang Xiaoshan's plan.

He shouldn't put all his eggs in one basket; he will be in charge of overseas affairs in the future.

As for his older brother?

Different training methods undoubtedly lead to different industries being inherited.

Moreover, with the blessing of the Fusang Divine Tree in the Mirage, Zhang Zhong also knew the benefits of cultivating under the Fusang Divine Tree, and breaking through to the Grandmaster level before the age of eighteen was not a problem.

Moreover, the divine energy from the Fusang Divine Tree nourished his body, and with the guidance of the Mysterious Maiden in cultivating the Pure Yang Divine Skill, Zhang Zhong was confident that he would become a Grandmaster by the age of fifteen.

···

"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up..."

At this moment, a carriage came straight along the highway leading directly to Yumen Pass.

Inside the carriage, Zhang Xiaoshan lay on a couch, resting with his eyes closed.

On one side, Liu Sheng Piaoxu was instructing Zijun on his cultivation or teasing the little tiger cub... while outside, Zhang Sheng, in disguise, was driving a dragon-elephant steed.

Zhang Sheng resigned from his studies to come here, naturally to pay homage to his ancestors.

As for fighting for the Dragon Balls?

The news about this thing is vague and the process is too dangerous.

Moreover, with Zhang Xiaoshan already here, there's nothing more for Zhang Sheng to do. The power of the Dragon Balls is a double-edged sword, something Zhang Sheng can't possibly fathom right now.

"Father, we've arrived at Yumen Pass, but..."

"I know, just go down, don't worry."

Zhang Xiaoshan naturally knew what Zhang Sheng was worried about.

At this time, the general guarding Yumen Pass was General Meng Tian. Moreover, the empire had been recuperating for ten years, and it was not just about defense. The ambitious Dragon Emperor directly adopted offense instead of defense.

Three hundred thousand imperial troops, along with a thousand armored chariots belonging to the Zhang family, traversed the desert and conquered all directions.

With the Imperial Prince in charge of the camp, the morale of the Imperial Iron Knights was high. During their campaigns in the Western Regions and the north against the Xiongnu and Turks, they suffered heavy losses.

"But Young Master Fusu has seen me before."

Although Zhang Sheng had already disguised himself, as a prince of the empire, Fusu was not as weak as he appeared on the surface.

Moreover, while he was in Sanghai, he met with Prince Fusu several times, and they chatted and laughed together.

"Alright, how much energy do you think Fusu has to be distracted in front of your father?"

Although Fusu is the first heir to the empire, he is wary of Zhang Xiaoshan and the Zhang family's terrifying strength means that most of his attention is focused on Zhang Xiaoshan. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan is not worried at all that Fusu can see through Zhang Sheng's identity.

And even if they see through Zhang Sheng's identity, so what?

This isn't some shady relationship; it's just a matter of truth and falsehood, a relationship between a substitute and the real person.

"Let it go, just be natural."

"profound!"

Zhang Sheng nodded, then turned to the side where Fusu and the others had been waiting for a long time.

On Fusu's side, there are also two great successors of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Gongshu Chou and Wei Zhuang, who were either attracted by the Dragon Ball or sent by the Empire after the meteorite incident.

At this moment, no one expected the appearance of the Dragon Ball to attract even Zhang Xiaoshan's attention.

"Zhang greets you all!"

"Greetings, young master!"

The three looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and Liu Sheng Piaoxu, who came out of the carriage, as well as the little girl who was looking around with curiosity. They didn't expect that Zhang Xiaoshan had even brought this little girl with him.

However, according to their intelligence, Zhang Shujun left Xiaoshengxianzhuang and naturally followed Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Feed the horses with the best feed and clean the dust off their bodies."

"Yes!"

Zhang Sheng left without arousing suspicion.

After all, the Zhang family has too many experts, so it's normal not to recognize them. Besides, a mere groom isn't worth paying attention to.

Instead, they went into the tent to rest. After Zhang Xiaoshan sat down, he looked at Gongshu Chou with a curious expression and asked:

Why did Master Gongshu come here?

The Dragon Balls are mysterious, but the Gongshu family probably won't need them; at the very least, they'd be more of a curse than a blessing for them.

"Young Master was also drawn here by the Dragon Balls. If that's the case, you might be disappointed?"

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Chou looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and gave him a strange smile.

Zhang Xiaoshan is right. They were using mechanical tricks, and obtaining the Dragon Balls was more of a curse than a blessing.

However, this Dragon Ball incident is not about the real Dragon Balls.

"Young master, you may not know, but this Dragon Ball is not the same as the Dragon Ball you know. It is a Mirage Dragon Ball that has been passed down for thousands of years!"

"Does the young master know of Loulan?"

Loulan? The ancient city of Loulan?

"Does the master's words suggest that Loulan holds some secret?"

Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes showed surprise, but not much shock.

Before he arrived, he knew that this Dragon Ball was not the same as the Dragon Ball. The reason it had spread was because the Dragon Emperor's actions were too big, which led to the rebellious forces of the empire spreading the word in an attempt to disrupt the empire's plans.

Zhang Xiaoshan also happened to be passing by and wanted to see what the so-called 'Dragon Ball' was all about.
