It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

Chu Yi was frightened by the sound and rolled over and knelt on the ground.

He knelt on the ground, maintaining a prostrate posture with a pious and respectful look.

"Junior Chu Yi of the Qing Jiao Clan pays homage to the senior!"

Cheng Shuyan secretly raised his head and looked in the direction where Chu Yi was kneeling. An illusory male figure gradually solidified in front of him.

The man looked to be only in his early twenties, but he had a dignified aura and a calm gaze that made it impossible to tell what his emotions were. He was wearing a long black gown and his hair was tied up with a blood-red short hairpin, which added a bit of dignity to him.

He quietly looked at Chu Yi who was kneeling on the ground, like a god looking down on a humble mortal.

"What Qing Jiao Clan? Has the dragon bloodline become so stained now?"

Chu Yi was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head. After thinking for a long time, he said cautiously:

"Senior, I read in the ancient books of our clan that after your death, the power of inheritance disappeared. For some reason, the dragon clan disappeared one after another within a few hundred years, leaving only a few of us, the Jiao clan with weak dragon bloodlines, and the dragon clan declined from then on.

I came here this time to find the burial place of my predecessors, to find the dragon clan's heritage, and to restore the glory of the dragon clan ten thousand years ago."

After listening to this, the man fell into deep thought and looked depressed.

If what Chu Yi said was true, although he didn't know why the other tribesmen disappeared, he knew that it was related to his death.

After all, it was he who harmed the dragon clan.

He was worthy of the people of ten thousand years ago, and worthy of his old friends, but he was worthy of the dragon clan.

"Get up."

He raised his head slightly towards Chu Yi, who stood up as he did. Only then did he see the appearance of this elder from the Dragon Clan clearly.

The man sighed softly, with a barely perceptible sadness in his tone:

"This lingering thought of mine is limited by my true body and has been trapped here for ten thousand years, unable to leave. I finally waited for a descendant with dragon blood. Naturally, I will pass on the power of inheritance to you and help you transform into a dragon.

But you must remember that we dragons were born between heaven and earth, and we rely on all things for nourishment. We should take all things in the world as our own responsibility. If we want to ensure the survival of all things, we should sacrifice our own lives. Is it possible to do this?"

Cheng Shuyan was confused by what he said and didn't understand what he meant.

Were the dragons of ten thousand years ago really so righteous and so responsible for the lives of the people of the world?

Then why did Chu Yi, a man with dragon blood, grab her neck and threaten her when they met for the first time?

However, Cheng Shuyan only dared to complain in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Chu Yi pondered for a moment, seemingly understanding the meaning of the man's painting. He knelt down three times and bowed to the man, saying solemnly:

"I used to think that those legends about the origin of the dragon race were just rumors, but after listening to what you said today, I know that the legends are true.

I, the younger generation, swear here with my own Dao heart that I will live up to the expectations of my predecessors and live up to the trust of heaven and earth!"

This oath was so solemn that even Cheng Shuyan was shocked when he heard it.

"Trusted by Heaven and Earth"!

Do the dragons actually bear such a heavy mission?

The man walked towards Chu Yi and gently stroked his head. A ball of golden beads shining with dazzling light sank into the center of Chu Yi's eyebrows as he moved.

Chu Yi immediately fell unconscious and turned into his original form and fell to the ground.

The man then turned his head to look at Cheng Shuyan who was standing beside him in a trance.

"Sit down first, young man. This brat won't wake up for ten days or half a month. It's tiring for you to stand and wait for him like this."

His tone was extremely casual, and in just a few breaths he seemed like a different person, without any of the majesty he had just shown.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuyan didn't hesitate and sat down where he was.

The man took one look at her, gave her a nostalgic smile, then walked over to her and sat down cross-legged.

The first thing he said was to shock people: "Are you this boy's Taoist partner?"

???

!!!

Cheng Shuyan's eyes widened, and his hair stood on end at his words.

"Senior! Have you ever seen a Taoist companion as bitter and resentful as me? I am just his captive, held captive by him to be used as a key!"

The man uttered an "oh" as if suddenly realizing something, then felt a little regretful and muttered to himself, "I see! This brat is such a jerk. He can't even seize such a good opportunity!"

Cheng Shuyan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and didn't dare to say anything, for fear that this senior would force him to be a matchmaker.

"My dear friend, I hope you will not take his mistakes to heart. If he falls into a desperate situation in the future, please lend him a hand when you are able, okay?"

His tone suddenly became heavy, and the implicit regret and sorrow in it made Cheng Shuyan shudder.

"Senior, you are too kind. I have no intention of blaming Senior Chu Yi. After spending these days together, I consider myself a friend of Senior Chu Yi. As long as Senior Chu Yi needs me, I will naturally help him to the best of my ability."

Hearing this, the man nodded with satisfaction, and then told her the origin of the Dragon Burial Abyss.

“Back then, due to some reasons, I had to die here. To prevent the power of the dragon clan’s inheritance from falling into the wrong hands, I set up a restriction here. Only creatures with the power of origin can enter.

Ten thousand years ago, the dragons were all bred from the essence of heaven and earth, and their numbers were extremely rare. Every dragon contained the power of origin in its body. According to my original idea, after the dragons found this place, they would definitely be able to come in.

I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, I didn't wait for any member of my tribe to arrive, but only waited for this kid. He should be the descendant of the dragon clan and other races who practiced together, which is what he called the Jiao clan.

But the Jiao Clan only retained a tiny bit of dragon blood, with no original power in their bodies. They waited until you appeared before coming to me."

She sensed the guilt in the man's tone and offered comfort, "It's all fate, senior, please don't worry."

"It doesn't matter."

He smiled, lowered his head and gently stroked the fire dragon lying beside him.

"I once refined a spine from my back into a magical weapon. Later, I buried that spine here with my body. Over time, it actually gained intelligence and became this little fellow.

I originally let it out to test the ability of the person entering, but I didn't expect that kid's cultivation was so weak. If the little guy hadn't been reincarnated from me and hadn't felt the breath of an old friend on you, I'm afraid I would have made a big mistake.

Please forgive me, my dear friend. I have been trapped here for ten thousand years and have nothing to offer you to make amends. I can only let this little fellow follow you and serve you as a token of apology."

"Ah? Senior wants to give me this fire dragon???"

Does she have a physique that attracts spirit beasts? Why do so many people want to send her spirit beasts?

There are already two spirit pets in the space that she doesn’t know how to raise. If she adds this monster as a spirit pet, it will be even more troublesome.

"Senior, since it is your spine that has become a spirit, wouldn't it be more appropriate to give it to Senior Chu Yi, who has the blood of the dragon clan?"
