Chapter 1470
The cocoon, gleaming with a tri-colored divine light, rippled up and down at its most broken point. *Snap!* A delicate, small hand with smooth skin pierced the cocoon's outer shell, and as more of the shell fell away, a cute little head peeked out from the opening.
It was still the same familiar face, still the figure of a young girl, but now her eyes were somewhat dazed, as if she hadn't woken up yet, or as if she had just had an incredibly long and terrifying nightmare.
When Jiang Linglong saw her master, she burst into tears. Then, she quickly created a large enough opening in the cocoon for her to pass through and threw herself into Chen Xuan's arms.
The newly conceived body had just emerged from its cocoon, completely naked and unprotected. Even Chen Xuan, as the master, felt ashamed. He immediately drew his sword finger and made a sweeping motion in the air, and a set of snow-white magical artifact robes covered and wrapped his disciple's delicate body.
These were all purchased by Chen Xuan at the Wanbaoshan headquarters that day, specifically to deal with this situation.
"Waaah, Master, Linglong is so scared! Just now, just now, I had a super, super, super long nightmare. In the dream, I transformed into a three-clawed divine dragon, but then I was captured. They were so fierce, they hit me, scolded me, and even burned me with their magic weapon, True Fire! Master, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
Jiang Linglong was just an ordinary carp spirit before, and her body still had a bit of a fishy smell. But now that she has reunited her physical body and transformed into a primordial Dao embryo, she no longer has any strange smell. Instead, she has a kind of pleasant fragrance that slowly spreads.
After many twists and turns and hardships, the master and his disciples are finally able to reunite today. Their feelings need no further explanation.
Chen Xuan held the little girl tightly, her body still frail, and gently patted her back. He felt his disciple trembling with fear and whispered comforting words, "Don't be afraid, Master is here, Master is always here... Master will protect you."
Jiang Linglong had been tormented for ten years and had long since developed a kind of psychological suggestion. During the most difficult times, she believed that she was having a nightmare, that everything was fake, and that she would wake up when the time was right.
Initially, this idea and psychological suggestion seemed ridiculous.
But after ten years of this constant self-suggestion, she had come to believe it herself.
At this moment, Jiang Linglong's hair was long and flowing, like a silver waterfall. Barefoot, she nestled in her master's arms, feeling incredibly safe. She didn't want to mention that long nightmare again, or even think about it. All she wanted was to be with her master and learn the Daoist arts.
Looking at the sky, Jiang Linglong got up and looked closely at Chen Xuan's face. Then she choked out in a low voice, "Master, did I sleep for a long time? You've gotten so thin from hunger, sob sob."
Before Chen Xuan could react, Jiang Linglong slipped and landed, her bare feet bouncing and skipping towards the kitchen. She even turned back with a smile and said, "Master, you should rest for a bit. I'll go cook now and call you for dinner later, hehe."
By the time Chen Xuan realized what was happening, it was too late. Jiang Linglong had already rushed into the kitchen, which hadn't been used for ten years.
The Northern Underworld Immortal Abode is actually another small world in the real world. Because the quality of the Immortal Abode is extremely high, the world it evolves into is not fundamentally different from the real world outside.
Ten years have passed, and even the cleanest kitchen utensils are now covered in a thick layer of dust.
Jiang Linglong, who rushed into the kitchen, was stunned by what she saw. After this brief recovery, her soul had completely merged with this innate Dao embryo. From the phased teleportation on Blue Star, to her leading a branch of her clan in that province to settle down, build, and develop, to her accidental intrusion into a mysterious place, consuming a precious elixir, transforming into a three-clawed divine dragon, and then...
"Waaah, waaah... It's all, it's all real, it's not a dream, it's all real..." Jiang Linglong suddenly covered her head with both hands, her trembling body almost collapsing, squatting on the ground and curling up into a ball, muttering words over and over.
"Master, Master Linglong is sorry for you. I failed to protect our people... Waaah."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression changed. He flashed to his disciple's side and embraced her again. At this moment, Jiang Linglong was crying very sadly. Self-blame, guilt, and other emotions were all on her face. She kept apologizing to Chen Xuan.
“Alas, my foolish disciple, since it has already happened, all we can do is become stronger and then avenge our people. Crying and regretting are useless.”
Chen Xuan reached out to wipe away his disciple's tears and continued, "I will be going into seclusion soon. You are not a child anymore. As cultivators, our Dao heart must be firm. I will give you the time it takes to eat a meal to calm down. After you eat, I will teach you the Dao." While comforting you, Chen Xuan revealed the cruel truth, "For the next three years, you will need to cultivate on your own, starting from a mortal and reaching the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. After the Immortal Fate Conference ends and we return to Qingtian County, I will guide you to join the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace and formally accept you as my disciple in front of the sect's immortal ancestor."
"Furthermore, the tribe you led has already been rescued by your master." Chen Xuan rubbed his disciple's head and laughed. "Now that my Longxia tribe is rooted in the Qushan area of Qingtian County, you need to cheer up and become stronger quickly. When the day comes that your master leaves this realm to train in the outer starry sky, this vast Longxia tribe will all have to rely on your protection."
Hearing this, Jiang Linglong was startled and asked with some fear, "Master, how many clansmen in the province I was in charge of suffered losses?"
Chen Xuan did not hide anything; some hatred might become the motivation for disciples to become stronger, "around 80 to 90 million."
After saying this, Chen Xuan put her down, rubbed her head, and said, "I'm hungry, let's cook." After putting his disciple down, Chen Xuan got up without hesitation, turned around, and walked away. Looking at her master's worried face, Jiang Linglong truly grew up at this moment. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded, "Yes, disciple will cook right away."
Meanwhile, in the inner city of the imperial capital, the venue for the Immortal Destiny Conference was located.
After ten breaths had passed, and nearly 10,000 people had chosen to give up on the preliminary selection, Beishan Xiaolong's statistics showed that a total of 1,074,528 people had entered the Mountain and River Map for training.
As the King of Beishan, who was in charge of this Immortal Destiny Conference, announced the number of participants, apart from the two quiet young men and women from Kowloon City, all the other participants, whether from Xuanxiao's own world or from the Azure Dragon Prince and Vermilion Bird Prince of the four middle-level stars around them, all had solemn expressions.
wow——
As soon as the words were spoken, a huge shadow in the sky rapidly spread out in all directions. When everyone looked up, they saw that the Mountain and River Map, which had been floating and exuding the pressure of a celestial-grade magic treasure, was rapidly growing larger. In less than a breath, the scroll, which was originally an arm's length long, immediately covered an area of tens of thousands of miles.
As the map of the land unfolds, the mountains, rivers, jungles, oceans, deserts, and other landscapes within the world become incredibly realistic.
"A grand gesture, actually creating a world within a single painting." This was the first time Chen Xuan had gained a completely new understanding of immortal-grade magic treasures. If immortal-grade magic treasures were like this, then how heaven-defying must the half-step ultimate emperor weapon, the small tower, have been at its peak?
