On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

"I give up! I give up!!"

Lin Xuan was thinking of striking again with his sword when the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon suddenly roared and howled.

Lin Xuan looked at the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon and laughed mockingly.

"I've heard that dragons are extremely proud, preferring to die in battle rather than beg for mercy, but you..."

Lin Xuan's amused expression made the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon feel a surge of embarrassment and anger.

"What's it to you? A real man living between heaven and earth must first survive. Only by surviving can he have a chance to turn the tide!"

Lin Xuan chuckled. This Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon seemed to frequently travel through the human world, which explained its human-like nature.

"Now that you've lost, according to the agreement, you'll follow me from now on. By the way, what's your name?"

Lin Xuan withdrew his Heaven-Slaying Divine Power and immediately took out a Life-and-Death Ice-Fire Talisman.

The moment the Life and Death Ice and Fire Talisman appeared, the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon shrank its neck in fright.

"Can you please stop planting this thing inside me?!"

"Forehead……"

Lin Xuan was at a loss for words.

"That's the guy in front of me. He planted this disgusting thing inside me and tormented me every day. He tortured me to the point of death. If I hadn't been quick-witted and escaped, I'm afraid I would have been tortured to death by him!"

The Sky-Splitting Dragon looked utterly miserable, and the fear in its eyes seemed genuine.

Now Lin Xuan finally understood why this Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon was so human-like; it turned out that it had been controlled by human cultivators long ago.

This kind of thing is actually quite normal.

Human cultivators want to tame powerful demonic beasts as their mounts or pets.

Powerful demonic beasts are the same; they also like to tame human cultivators and make them their slaves.

These two aspects are interdependent, which is the fundamental reason why monsters and humans cannot coexist peacefully.

"Really, really, I swear, I really won't run away. Please don't plant this thing on me, it's too torturous, I'm really terrified of being tortured like this."

Seeing that Lin Xuan was still hesitating, the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon pleaded desperately.

Lin Xuan put down the Life and Death Ice and Fire Talisman.

"Alright, seeing how you are, you've really been through a lot. Fine, I rarely do things I'm not sure of, but this time, I'll make an exception for you and let you off the hook."

"Damn, human, you really moved this dragon!"

The Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon looked at Lin Xuan with deep emotion.

Lin Xuan chuckled and waved his hand.

"Now you should tell me your name."

"I have no name; I was tamed from birth."

The Sky-Splitting Dragon shook its head, clearly disapproving of the names humans had given it in the past.

Lin Xuan smiled, recalling that in his previous life's Journey to the West, the dragon race seemed to all have the surname Ao.

"How about this, from today onwards, your surname will be Ao, and your name will be Ao Cang, what do you say?"

"Ao Cang!?"

The Sky-Splitting Dragon's eyes lit up when it heard the name.

Having spent so many years in the human world, he naturally knows human names very well. The name Ao Cang sounds ancient and domineering, and it has a lot of style!

"Alright! From today onwards, my name will be Ao Cang!"

Ao Cang excitedly wagged its tail.

Lin Xuan looked at Ao Cang with amusement: "I'm very curious to know what name the person who used to restrain you gave you."

"Uh..." Ao Cang's excited expression immediately turned sour.

"Can you not say it?"

"What? You're starting to disobey me now?"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, feigning displeasure.

Ao Cang, in his human form, scratched his dragon whiskers and said rather embarrassedly:

"Damn it, which bastard named me Er Gou (Second Dog)? I am a dragon, a noble Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon, and he actually named me Er Gou!"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. There was actually such a thing. It seemed that Ao Cang's previous "master" was quite a person with a wicked sense of humor.

"Alright, repair this spatial wormhole. This is all your fault. If it weren't for you, I would be in the Hao Ri Immortal Realm by now."

Lin Xuan looked around. Because of their battle, the space inside the wormhole had become even more unstable, and was even on the verge of collapse.

Ao Cang clapped his hands, confident and assured.

"Hehe, don't worry, this kind of spatial wormhole is a piece of cake. I can build one easily. Just watch me."

As soon as Ao Cang finished speaking, he pointed his dragon claw towards the depths of the wormhole, and a powerful spatial force spread out and entered the spatial wormhole.

In just about half an incense stick's time, Ao Cang completely stabilized the spatial wormhole.

"Your Sky-Splitting Dragon Clan is truly gifted. Your innate spatial power is something to be envied."

Lin Xuan looked at Ao Cang and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a piece of cake."

Ao Cang chuckled, but he couldn't hide the arrogance in his eyes.

"Let's go, let's get out of here first. The space wormhole is repaired, and I need to prepare to go to the Haori Immortal Realm."

"what about me?"

Ao Cang asked a very serious question.

Ao Cang is a Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon of the True Dragon Clan. Many people may not recognize the shrunken Ao Cang, but there are many capable and extraordinary people in the Immortal Realm, and there are quite a few who can recognize what Ao Cang's true form is.

"Here's what we'll do: you hide in my space and don't show yourself too often. Otherwise, if we encounter any Celestial Kings or Celestial Emperors, we'll both suffer the consequences."

"I'm fine here. I've already explored this immortal realm, and there's nothing here that I can't afford to offend."

Ao Cang shrunk to only a dozen inches in size and landed on Lin Xuan's shoulder.

Lin Xuan thought so too. Even if they really encountered a master like a Nine Tribulation Golden Immortal, Ao Cang could still escape with his spatial abilities.

Lin Xuan led Ao Cang out of the spatial wormhole. Outside the wormhole, Yang Shuo and dozens of others were waiting anxiously.

Yang Shuo, in particular, was very worried, especially since the space wormhole was sometimes booming and sometimes turbulent, which was unsettling.

If the space wormhole were to completely collapse, the Tian Shuo Xian Sect would lose another piece of its foundation.

"Alright, I have accomplished my mission. Your spatial wormhole has been completely stabilized and should not cause any problems for at least the next ten thousand years."

Lin Xuan landed in front of Yang Shuo and said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shuo finally felt relieved.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lin! Without you, our Tianshuo Immortal Sect would have suffered heavy losses. On behalf of all the members of our Tianshuo Immortal Sect, I would like to express my gratitude to Fellow Daoist Lin, or rather, to Mr. Lin!"

Yang Shuo bowed deeply to Lin Xuan, a gesture that elevated Lin Xuan's status above his own.

Yang Shuo respected Lin Xuan not only because Lin Xuan repaired the spatial wormhole of their Tianshuo Immortal Sect.

Another point is Lin Xuan's potential. Yang Shuo saw the endless potential in Lin Xuan. Yang Shuo felt that Lin Xuan even had the ability to become a Celestial King!

If Lin Xuan truly becomes a Celestial King, then everything he has done now will be well worth it.

Lin Xuan accepted Yang Shuo's bow, because Lin Xuan deserved to receive it.

Of course, Lin Xuan also benefited from helping Tianshuo Immortal Sect repair their spatial wormhole this time, which was to obtain a complete bloodline of the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon, which was a huge gain.

"No need for that. Prepare a spaceship. I need to go to the Heavenly Fire Immortal Realm, and then I'll go to the Radiant Sun Immortal Realm to take a look."

Lin Xuan smiled faintly. After all, he didn't really repair the spatial wormhole himself; the biggest credit went to Ao Cang, who was perched on his shoulder.

"Alright, alright, I'll have someone arrange it right away. You must stay at our Tianshuo Immortal Sect for another day today so we can properly entertain you, Mr. Lin. After tonight, we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

"can."

Lin Xuan did not refuse. After all, Nangong Qingyi was still sleeping in the attic. Although Lin Xuan wanted to find Lin Fan and the others, he was not in a hurry to do so within one day.

"Haha, good, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you today!"

Yang Shuo went down to make the arrangements with a smile.

Everyone dispersed, and Tianjue, Roger, and the others came to Lin Xuan's side.

"Your Excellency, the creature crawling on your shoulder looks just like the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon from the Dragon Clan!"

Roger's words startled Lin Xuan. Had they been discovered already?!

Ao Cang was also stunned. He had already transformed into this form, so why was he still recognized at a glance?

"Ahem, you..."

Lin Xuan looked at Roger with a face full of doubt.

"No way, Your Majesty, is that really the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon?!"

Roger was initially skeptical, thinking it was just a monster that looked like a Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon, but it seems to be true.

"How did you figure that out?!"

Lin Xuan looked at Roger with curiosity.

Tianjue couldn't help but gasp.

The Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon is a divine beast, an extremely powerful being among the dragon race!

Huang Rui and Huang Yimei felt their scalps tingle; what was perched on Senior Lin's shoulder was actually a real dragon!

Ao Cang also straightened up and looked at Roger.

Roger nervously swallowed.

"Because just a few thousand years ago, Bai Xiaosheng released a list called the Immortal Realm Divine Beast List, and the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon of the Dragon Clan was on the list. Moreover, the list also included some portraits of the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon, which is why I know about it."

"Ah this..."

Lin Xuan was both amused and exasperated, never expecting it to be Bai Xiaosheng again.

The all-knowing scholar is truly omnipresent; he can even make a list out of this.

"Where does our Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon rank on the Hundred-Knowledge Scholar's Divine Beast Ranking?!"

Knowing his identity had been exposed, Ao Cang was too lazy to keep pretending and looked at Roger, asking a question.

"I don't quite remember, it seems like I saw it once a few hundred years ago, and the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon was ranked twenty-fourth on the list."

"What!?" Ao Cangfei, perched atop Lin Xuan's head, was extremely displeased: "What kind of lousy ranking is this? I, the mighty Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon, am only ranked twenty-fourth! Screw you!"

Ao Cang was very dissatisfied with the ranking of his clan.

Lin Xuan chuckled upon hearing this.

"Hehe, since it's ranked like this, there must be a reason for it, and twenty-fourth place is already quite high."

Ao Cang disagreed with this statement, but he only snorted coldly and continued to rest on Lin Xuan's shoulder, remaining silent.

Tianjue and Roger both looked curiously at Ao Cang on Lin Xuan's shoulder.

"Mr. Lin, where did you come from, this Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon?"

Tianjue looked at Lin Xuan with great admiration. The fact that the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon could sit so peacefully on Lin Xuan's shoulder meant that it had already accepted Lin Xuan.

The fact that Lin Xuan could gain the approval of such a proud dragon race as the Sky-Splitting Divine Dragon is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary abilities!

"Hehe, it came from that spatial wormhole."

Lin Xuan said with a smile, and then led Tian Jue and the others back to the pavilion.

"Pack your things. After the banquet tonight, we'll be heading to the Heavenly Fire Immortal Realm first thing tomorrow morning, and then from there to the Radiant Sun Immortal Realm."

The Hao Ri Immortal Realm is the core of the Hao Ri Universe. After arriving at the Hao Ri Immortal Realm, you will likely be able to find the location of the Nine Cauldrons Immortal Realm.

Lin Xuan needed to go to the Nine Cauldrons Immortal Realm to see how his son and Lan Zhantian were doing.

Lin Xuan returned to his pavilion, where Nangong Qingyi was dressed in a thin gauze, revealing her graceful figure. Her long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, making her extremely beautiful.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan had thrown Ao Cang out before entering the pavilion.

Although Ao Cang is a dragon, he is male after all, so naturally he cannot be allowed to see what he shouldn't see.

"The wormhole is repaired?"

Nangong Qingyi turned around and saw Lin Xuan, a spring-like smile on her face.

"Yes, everything is settled. Tonight, Sect Leader Yang will host a banquet for us, and we will set off for the Heavenly Fire Immortal Realm first thing tomorrow morning."

Nangong Qingyi nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Xuan and gave him a reproachful look.

"You have absolutely no sense of chivalry. I'm a mortal immortal, after all, but these past few days, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart!"

Lin Xuan laughed and stepped forward to pick Nangong Qingyi up in his arms.

Nangong Qingyi leaned against Lin Xuan's chest, her face flushed and her eyes glazed over.

"I thought you were a very serious person, but..."

"And what was the result?"

Lin Xuan looked at Nangong Qingyi with a wicked smile.

"Keep it down. I have a banquet to attend tonight, and I don't want to be the subject of gossip."

"..."

night.

The Tianshuo Immortal Sect was as lively as ever today.

People come and go.

The elders all rushed to offer Lin Xuan a toast.

Many of the female elders even gave Lin Xuan flirtatious glances, but seeing Nangong Qingyi sitting next to Lin Xuan, they could only leave with regret.

Nangong Qingyi is not only beautiful, but also extremely talented. When she sits with Lin Xuan, everyone thinks they are a perfect match.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know when we will meet again after this parting. I have a gift I would like to give you, and I hope you will accept it."

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly. There was something else he wanted to give him?

"Come on, bring the things up."

Yang Shuo clapped his hands with a smile.

Immediately, several elders came up with a box.

Lin Xuan looked at the box, his sword energy surging.

"I know that you are a master swordsman. This sword is called Tianshuo. It was used by the founding ancestor of my Tianshuo Immortal Sect. It would be a waste for it to remain in my Tianshuo Immortal Sect. This time, I think it is a good gift to you. I hope that you can once again demonstrate the power of the Tianshuo Divine Sword!"
