Princess Egg?

Jiang Li couldn't help but chuckle to herself. If her little egg hadn't hatched yet, the Egg Princess and the Egg Dragon King would be a perfect match.

“Old Bi Fang cherishes that egg like his own eyes, guarding it day and night without ever leaving it for a moment. Therefore, we did not inform him of the important matter concerning the young master,” the Phoenix Clan Chief sighed.

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes, hatching the eggs is of utmost importance, so I won't disturb Senior Bifang any longer."

The Phoenix Clan Chief shook his head: "That egg is congenitally defective; whether it can hatch is still unknown."

Jiang Li laughed and said, "When I met the little green dragon in the lower realm, he was also an egg with congenital defects. Now he has hatched, hasn't he? Although he is a bit small, he is healthy."

The Phoenix Clan Chief's eyes lit up: "Did Fairy Jiang hatch him? I wonder if you have any secrets, or if you could share them with Old Bi Fang?"

Jiang Li was speechless. What experience did she have in hatching eggs? She had given birth to four children, but even if she had any experience in raising children, she had no memory of that time.

She glanced at Xie Chang'an sideways and said, "How did you hatch it? Tell me!"

Xie Chang'an smiled slightly: "How could we humans have such abilities? At first, the dragon and the fire python took turns incubating the eggs. Later, my wife used five elements spiritual plants to set up a five elements array, placed the dragon eggs in the array, and nourished them with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is how they were able to hatch."

The Phoenix Clan Chief raised an eyebrow: "That's one way. I'll send a message to Old Bi Fang later and have him give it a try."

Jiang Li was eager to find the Xuanwu Clan Chief to inquire about the Dragon Clan's ancestral land, so she bid farewell to the Phoenix Clan Chief.

With the token in hand, the two successfully arrived at the Xuanwu clan's territory.

After passing through a water-like barrier, you are immediately immersed in icy cold water.

Surrounded by darkness, Xie Chang'an embraced Jiang Li and summoned an exquisite jade lotus lamp. The warm light enveloped the two of them, and Jiang Li felt warm all over, no longer cold at all.

At this moment, a string of seven-colored orbs of light came from afar in the darkness, and the Xuanwu clan chief’s loud voice rang out: “The two immortal lords have graced us with their presence. I have failed to greet them properly and have neglected my honored guests.”

Jiang Li looked closely and saw a magnificent carriage pulled by several spirit snakes, slowly approaching, cutting through the water. The string of seven-colored orbs were the colorful lights hanging on the carriage, reflecting brilliant colors in the water, like a dream.

The serpent carriage arrived, and the Xuanwu clan chief stepped out with a smile, "Fairy Jiang, you've finally arrived."

He looked at Xie Chang'an and said, "This must be True Lord Chonghua. I've heard so much about you."

"Senior Xuanwu."

Jiang Li and the other person quickly returned the greeting with clasped hands.

"I am deeply grateful to the clan chief for coming to welcome me."

The Xuanwu clan chief laughed and said, "Of course, of course, please, both immortal lords—"

Jiang Li sat in the snake-drawn carriage and curiously looked around at her surroundings.

The bottom of the water was deep and still. The Xuanwu clan chief introduced, "This place is called the Northern Cold Abyss. It is located in the far north of the Xuantian Mountains. My Xuanwu clan's territory is at the bottom of this cold abyss."

Gradually, a faint light appeared ahead, flowing with an ethereal glow, as if thousands of stars were twinkling within it.

The serpent chariot swam towards the dim light, and with a "pop," it passed through another barrier, whereupon an ancient and solemn palace appeared before them.

The palace was built with black iron and mixed heaven stone, and its surface was filled with a faint bluish-black spiritual light, making it sacred and solemn.

Several junior members of the Xuanwu clan ran out of the main hall: "Clan leader, you're back!"

The Xuanwu clan chief smiled kindly: "So impetuous! Why don't you quickly pay your respects to Fairy Jiang and True Lord Chonghua?"

The younger generation bowed in unison: "Greetings, Fairy Jiang; greetings, True Lord Chonghua."

Jiang Li and the other person returned the greeting, saying, "No need for such formalities, Your Excellencies."

The Xuanwu clan chief sighed, "Our clan has not been able to reproduce easily. Now, only this old man and these few little brats are left."

The way of Heaven is to take from the excess and give to the deficiency. Divine beasts often live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, especially the Black Tortoise, which has the longest lifespan and lives the longest. Naturally, the way of Heaven cannot allow them to have many offspring.

After exchanging pleasantries, the Xuanwu clan chief invited Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an into the main hall.

After the three were seated, the Xuanwu Clan Chief said, "The Phoenix Clan Chief has already informed me of Fairy Jiang's purpose for coming."

Jiang Li's face lit up with hope: "Does Senior Xuanwu have any clues about Ancestral Dragon Mountain?"

The Xuanwu clan chief slowly said, "I do remember that saying: 'At the edge of the sky and the corner of the sea, beyond lies the eclipse of the sun and the shadow of the moon.'"

"The ends of the earth, the corners of the sea, the eclipse of the sun, the shadow of the moon..." Jiang Li murmured, feeling completely bewildered.

"What is the meaning of these four lines? I hope Senior Xuanwu will not hesitate to enlighten me," Xie Chang'an said sincerely.

The Xuanwu clan chief shook his head: "I don't know either. However, my Xuanwu clan has some knowledge of divination, and can cast a divination for Fairy Jiang."

Jiang Li said happily, "Then thank you very much, Senior Xuanwu!"

The Xuanwu clan chief took out a tortoise shell from his sleeve.

The tortoise shell is dark iron in color, and its surface is covered with ancient star patterns. A bluish-black spiritual light flows between the patterns. The edges of the tortoise shell are rounded, but it carries a sense of vicissitudes that have lasted for thousands of years.

He placed the tortoise shell in his palm, tapped it lightly with his fingertips, and the shell made a crisp "click" sound before standing steadily in the air.

The Xuanwu clan chief closed his eyes slightly, muttering incantations in a deep and resonant voice, as if echoing the flow of water in the abyss.

As he spoke, the star patterns on the surface of the tortoise shell suddenly lit up, and a bluish-black spiritual light traveled along the patterns, sometimes gathering into star points, and sometimes spreading out like a spider web.

After a long pause, the Xuanwu clan chief raised his eyelids and said in a steady voice, "This divination indicates that going west will bring good fortune, and things will be accomplished if you encounter water."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

She looked at Xie Chang'an and saw joy in his eyes as well.

Facing west brings good fortune, and encountering water brings success. This divination perfectly aligns with the Western Sea!

Jiang Li quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

The Xuanwu clan chief then said to Xie Chang'an, "I have received news that the Demon Emperor has issued an arrest warrant throughout the entire Demon Realm to capture the True Lord. Anyone captured alive will be appointed as the Imperial Preceptor, and those who provide clues will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces. Fairy Jiang and the True Lord must be extra careful."

Xie Chang'an cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for informing me, senior!"

The Xuanwu clan chief smiled and said, "Since the True Lord and the Fairy can move freely amidst such a strong encirclement, they will surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and have everything go smoothly this time as well."

Jiang Li was overjoyed. This was the longest-lived auspicious being in this world. With his blessing, everything would surely go smoothly for them!

She bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your kind words, senior!"

After leaving the Xuanwu clan's territory, Xie Chang'an summoned Taixu again.

Taixu asked, "Where to next?"

Jiang Li said, "Shall we go directly to the Western Sea and take a look?"

Xie Chang'an nodded: "Okay."

The two men and their sword entered the void once more.

The surrounding area was an endless chaos, with no distinction between heaven and earth, nor between light and shadow, with occasional violent air currents whistling past.

Xie Chang'an transformed into a sword light, merging with the void, his mind focused and on guard, his gaze sweeping across the desolate void, not daring to relax for a moment.

Suddenly, a strange ripple appeared in the surrounding chaos, the previously stagnant air suddenly became chaotic, and a vicious wind swept in from the rear, with a sharp force that could tear everything apart, and rushed towards the void!
