Mysterious mirror hanging high

Yunchuan Territory, Xiaoyao League

A black one-horned demon dragon, dozens of feet long and with a spiritual pressure of about the middle stage of the Golden Core, rode on the clouds and flew towards the direction of Xiaoyao Immortal City at an extremely fast speed.

If someone looked carefully, they would find that on the head of this demon dragon, there was a young male cultivator with an evil face and whose cultivation level was just at the great perfection of foundation building.

The young man looked young, with a bright red flame birthmark between his eyebrows. A fiery red dagger without a scabbard was placed horizontally between his knees. The blade was like a red-hot iron, constantly emitting heat.

Strangely, the young man seemed to be completely unaware of the heat. He just gently stroked the sword with his fingers, making a strange "sizzling" sound.

"Heilong, how far are we from Xiaoyao Immortal City?" The young man's voice was indifferent and his tone was condescending, as if he was the one with higher cultivation.

The black dragon in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm was very respectful to the young man and said in human language, "Young Clan Leader, we still have about three days' journey."

"The Earth Level Trial in [Langhuo Blessed Land] lasts for about three months to a year, which is more than enough time."

The black dragon whispered, "The [Langhuo Blessed Land] is the most suitable inheritance land for fire cultivators in the Shending Immortal Dynasty. The reward ranked first among the earth-level inheritance is the [Earth-Surge Heart Fire Lotus], which can greatly improve the quality of the Jindan and even the spiritual power of the Nascent Soul. If the young clan leader obtains this natural treasure, forming the [Purple Qi Golden Pill] is surely a sure thing."

"I just wonder if the emergence of [Langhuo Blessed Land] this time will lead to the emergence of several destiny children."

The young man snorted disdainfully, "Who cares about his destiny? I, Huangfu Zhengqi, killed him with a single sword strike... No matter how mysterious destiny is, it can't defeat supernatural power."

"Hasn't our Huangfu family killed enough destiny people in these years?"

"Destiny cannot defeat supernatural power... but that's not necessarily the case." The black dragon seemed to have thought of something and shuddered inexplicably.

"The one from Dragon Slaying Island..."

For the first time, a look of fear flashed across Huangfu Zhengqi's face: "Ye Xingyun..."

"Among the five regions of Falling Star Sea, the man surnamed Ye is indeed considered the most important person."

"I heard that person will start preparing for the baby-making ceremony soon, right?"

"Exactly!"

The black dragon replied, "He begins to form an infant at the age of 486, and becomes an infant in ten years. He is promoted to the rank of True Lord at the age of 500. This speed is extremely fast for ordinary casual cultivators... but for the direct descendants of a Great True Lord in the late Nascent Soul stage, it is just average."

"Ye Xingyun had already achieved Golden Core Perfection at the age of four hundred. Why did he wait almost another hundred years before forming his Infant? It was simply to hone the embryonic form of his magical power to an unprecedented level. After transforming the elixir into an Infant, he would be able to immediately cultivate a life-long magical power of extremely high status, with infinitely increased power!"

Huangfu Zhengqi sighed, stroking the fiery red dagger at his knees. "This man is so patient with loneliness that he dared to squander a hundred years of his life just to consolidate his immortal foundation and hope for a broad future..."

"After a hundred years of dormancy, once the fetus is formed, its combat power will probably rival that of an average mid-stage Nascent Soul."

"If left alone, this person... might not be able to seek a chance to become a god."

"The God of Transformation?" The black dragon was shocked: "How dare I have such a wish!"

Huangfu Zhengqi let out a light breath, "Yeah, how dare I even have such a wish? But if I don't even dare to think about it, if I don't even have the desire to hope for it, then isn't this the end of my life?"

"What kind of immortality are you cultivating? What kind of truth are you asking?"

The black dragon was furious: "The Eastern Region of the Falling Star Sea Islands has always been dominated by my Huangfu family. Why don't you..."

"What's the difference? Let Grandfather or Seventh Uncle break through the Taixu, and then kill Ye Xingyun with a single sword strike against the Ye family's Nascent Soul Formation on Zhanlong Island?"

"You black snake, you're the one who came up with this!"

"It wasn't too late to say this four hundred years ago, but now it's just hindsight..."

Huangfu Zhengqi cursed: "Not to mention that the Ye family's ancestor is now a late Nascent Soul cultivator, and his realm is similar to that of my Huangfu family's ancestor. Even Ye Xingyun's aunt Ye Lingyue is not inferior to my grandfather in strength!"

"Seventh Uncle is a newly promoted Nascent Soul True Lord. Now he can only escape from the void with his Nascent Soul. If he's not careful, he might never come back."

"But if we allow Ye Xingyun to form a Nascent Soul, once he succeeds, wouldn't the Ye family of Zhanlong Island have three Nascent Souls? Then we can compete with my Huangfu family!"

Huangfu Zhengqi looked gloomy, "I only regret that I wasn't born three hundred years earlier, so that I could teach that fat guy such a great reputation."

"Everyone in Luoxinghai calls him Master Fulu a man of destiny, but I don't believe in destiny."

"I must obtain the [Earth-Surge Heart Fire Lotus]. If this item falls to someone else, I will kill them both! Let's see who has better luck, or if my magic sword is sharper!"

After a while, Huangfu Zhengqi suddenly sneered, with amusement: "Before the Middle Ages, didn't the Shending Immortal Dynasty, which unified the Immortal Continent, also believe in the so-called 'Manifest Destiny'?"

"Back then, the Immortal Continent was still the Immortal Continent. The Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty gathered skilled craftsmen and cultivators of various arts from around the world... They used the finest natural resources and treasures to build the Nine Continents Divine Cauldron, hoping to forever protect the mountains and rivers."

"As a result, a meteorite fell from the sky, and five of the nine states sank instantly. They are still hidden under the seabed of the Falling Star Sea, and the remaining immortal states have also become immortal islands."

"The Immortal Dynasty's Emperor died suddenly, the country was overthrown, demons and evil spirits were scattered, and the land was barren for millions of miles!"

"Almost all the creatures in the entire Immortal Continent have died. Only a few forces hiding in the caves are still surviving..."

"The descendants of the Immortal Dynasty who survived in the past have now become stray dogs, the remnants of the Middle Ages who are hated by everyone!"

"Side branches like Yuwen Baoding don't even dare to use their original surname [Ying]..."

"The blessed caves and paradises left behind by the ancestors of his Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty for longevity and protection from disasters have all been marked and branded by the great masters of this world. If any remnant of the Divine Cauldron dares to use their own bloodline secrets to control the secret realm, we, the immortals, will be the first to know."

"In the end, it's just making wedding clothes for outsiders."

"Why do you think these remnants of the Divine Cauldron who attempted to restore the Immortal Dynasty have been able to lurk in the Immortal Cultivation World for tens of thousands of years and remain safe and sound?"

"It's just to let these idiots draw a few more paradises from the sky."

"It's ridiculous that Yuwen Baoding thought he had concealed this matter perfectly."

"Did you know that my Huangfu family had set its sights on this [Langhuo Blessed Land] decades ago?"

"But I am a little curious. The [Earth-Surge Heart Fire Lotus] is a spiritual creature native to the [Langhuo Blessed Land]. It will wither and dissipate within a few moments after it surges onto the ground, so it can only be used immediately."

"This inheritance blessed land is inaccessible to the Jindan Zhenren. Logically speaking, it won't help him to form a fetus."

"Could it be that they're really training the younger generation? Paving the way for the geniuses of their own family?" Huangfu Zhengqi said with a tut-tut, "I simply don't believe it."

"Or has the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty left behind some trickery and evil method that could rob people of their immortal roots?"

Thinking of this, Huangfu Zhengqi shook his head: "But it doesn't matter anymore."

"If you can't become a Nascent Soul, you will end up being just a pawn."
