On the coast of the East Sea, resided the Sky Walk Tribe.
Xuan Xiao felt a pang of awkwardness as the truth about his cultivation of the True Dragon Nine Transformations was exposed. And the one who discovered it was a strongman of the Dragon Clan.
Xuan Xiao was at a loss for words. He could only explain, “I apologize, I am cultivating the True Dragon Nine Transformations. However, the method I obtained is not from Cai Er. Please do not blame her, Senior Long Ao. But I cannot reveal how I obtained it. Therefore, I would like to know how to proceed to satisfy Senior Long Ao.”
You Feng stepped forward, “Daoist Long Ao, there must be some misunderstanding. Perhaps… ”
“Alas… Daoist You Feng, you should know that laws cannot be easily passed down, and Dao cannot be lightly spoken of. Xuan Xiao, a junior, has cultivated the True Dragon Nine Transformations, a forbidden art of our Dragon Clan. As a member of the Dragon Clan, it is only natural that I seek an explanation.”
“However, Xuan Xiao is Cai Er’s savior after all. How about this, as long as Xuan Xiao agrees to two conditions, I shall let this matter rest.”
“What are the two conditions?”
“First, I don’t care how you obtained the True Dragon Nine Transformations from Cai Er, but you must only cultivate it yourself and not pass it on to anyone else. Second, I want you to join the Dragon Clan and become one of us. That way, your cultivation of the Dragon Clan’s forbidden art will be justified.”
“No, no… Xuan Xiao is a human cultivator, he is the hope and future of the human race. How can he join the Dragon Clan? Furthermore, Xuan Xiao is a pure human, how can he become a Dragon Clan member?”
“Why not? I have observed that Xuan Xiao is not only a born human but also a pure Primordial Human. With his pure innate Primordial physique, a simple baptism with Dragon Qi is enough to evolve him into a Dragon Dao Body. Then, with the baptism of the Dragon Transformation Pond and the assistance of the True Dragon Nine Transformations, he is absolutely capable of transforming into a pure True Dragon.”
“Alright. Daoist Long Ao, I see now. You covet Xuan Xiao’s talent comparable to a Primordial Human. The True Dragon Nine Transformations is just an excuse. You want to snatch away the future of our human race. Don’t even think about it!”
You Feng was incredibly frustrated. He glared at Long Ao with anger. Good heavens, he had only helped the Dragon Clan find their kin, but now his own prodigy was in jeopardy.
Since seeing Xuan Xiao, You Feng couldn’t believe his eyes. The human race had long since stopped producing Primordial Humans. Now, to see a Primordial Human with talent comparable to those of the First Generation, how could You Feng not be excited, how could he not be thrilled?
As an ancestor of the human race, he clearly understood the talent of the First Generation Humans and the unique nature of the Primordial Physique.
Thus, the moment he saw Xuan Xiao, You Feng saw him as the future of the human race. Especially after witnessing Xuan Xiao establish the Sky Walk Tribe and create the Form and Intent Law, he saw Xuan Xiao as the hope for the rise of the human race.
Now, the Dragon Clan was trying to steal his prize, how could You Feng agree?
Long Ao no longer hid his intentions, “I covet Xuan Xiao’s talent, yes, but it’s also a fact that he is cultivating the True Dragon Nine Transformations. Because of that alone, he must join the Dragon Clan. Besides, Cai Er is still young, but as a member of the Cai Long Clan, she possesses an innate instinct for loyalty and love. Since she likes Xuan Xiao, she is bound to remain devoted to him in the future. For this reason alone, he must join the Dragon Clan.”
“Why? Your daughter likes Xuan Xiao, so he must become a Dragon Clan member? Xuan Xiao can perfectly well remain a human and marry your daughter!”
“Alright! I’m going to marry Xuan Xiao!”
Long Cai Er’s sudden outburst instantly brought the heated scene to a standstill. Her parents immediately turned black in the face and glared at her.
However, You Feng let out a sly chuckle, feeling like he had won a victory.
On the other hand, Xuan Xiao was completely speechless, embarrassed, and frustrated. What in the world was going on? This supposed family reunion had turned into a scene of heated competition over him.
Xuan Xiao was even more bewildered. He was just a Primordial Human, what was so worth fighting over? Throughout the Primordial World, there were countless transformed beings, surely countless of them had talent exceeding that of a Primordial Human. Why were they fixated on him?
As for Long Cai Er being devoted to him? This was nonsense. She was just a little girl, and he was an adult, with Yun Xiao, his wife, by his side. How could he possibly take advantage of a little girl? That was utterly immoral.
Concerning Long Cai Er’s devotion, it was completely laughable. She was just a little girl, she didn’t understand these things. She was simply playful, and Xuan Xiao, as a person from the future, knew many games, which made Cai Er like to stick close to him.
As for the innate instinct of the Cai Long Clan, Xuan Xiao had no idea what that was.
Xuan Xiao was quite frustrated. He looked at the scene before him, not knowing how to resolve it. After all, he was truly cultivating the True Dragon Nine Transformations.
However, while Long Ao and You Feng were still arguing over Xuan Xiao, Yun Xiao, who had been silent all along, seemed to undergo a transformation.
As Xuan Xiao’s wife, it was natural for Yun Xiao to follow him in receiving such distinguished visitors like Ancestor You Feng. But she, who was normally poised and graceful in her speech, was uncharacteristically silent today. Although Yun Xiao’s behavior was odd today, Xuan Xiao didn’t think much of it. He simply assumed she wasn’t feeling well today.
But now, the heavy aura surrounding Yun Xiao made Xuan Xiao feel uneasy. Anxiously, he looked at Yun Xiao, and he discovered her face was pale and her body trembling. A sense of panic gripped Xuan Xiao, and he quickly grabbed her jade hand, feeling the coldness radiating from her palm. “Yun Xiao, what’s wrong with you?”
Since Xuan Xiao married Yun Xiao, they had spent many years together, and he had long since come to see her as the closest person to him. Even if Xuan Xiao had guessed that Yun Xiao might be the Yun Xiao from the Outer Sect of the Jie Jiao, as long as she was by his side, Xuan Xiao would subconsciously forget those guesses and simply see her as his wife, the mistress of the Sky Walk Tribe, an ordinary human.
The heavy aura emanating from Yun Xiao now filled Xuan Xiao with a sense of unease.
But just then, Yun Xiao unleashed a mysterious aura, followed by an aura of divinity and an intertwining of Dao. A chilling atmosphere spread around her, “Enough!”
These words instantly froze everything in sight. Long Ao, You Feng, and the tribe members all turned to look at Yun Xiao.
And Yun Xiao’s gentle expression turned cold, the deep affection in her eyes towards Xuan Xiao became complex.
“Hum, hum…”
A peculiar humming sound echoed from within her. Then, Yun Xiao rose up without the need for wind, floating in the sky. A cloud of auspiciousness formed beneath her feet. Countless rays of rainbow light enveloped her, transforming into a flowing gown of a celestial maiden, adorning her with exquisite beauty.
