415: Terror upgrade, five-star Dou Sheng

It was a beautiful day, with a gentle breeze and swaying flowers and plants.

On a floating giant island, several people sat together.

"Clan Chief Yao Ming, I toast you, and thank you for your assistance to the Ancient Dragon Clan."

The Grand Elder looked at the person opposite him.

Yao Ming was overwhelmed by the favor and quickly waved his hand, "Grand Elder, you are too kind. I was just waving the flag and cheering behind the Alliance Chief."

Today was the third day since the Dragon War ended.

Within the Ancient Dragon World, the chaos had been quelled, and all who stubbornly resisted were killed.

The Elders from the other three islands had already returned, preparing to bring their people to relocate their islands closer to East Dragon Island.

Yao Ming had originally thought he would have a chance to act on this trip, but he unexpectedly became a mere spectator throughout.

Although it was a bit of a loss of Face, he didn't care.

Whether it was the Three Heavenly Phoenixes or the three Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan, any one of them would be enough to give him trouble.

Being able to sit here safely and chat with the Elders of the Dragon Clan, he was already content.

"Grand Elder, please inform the Alliance Chief that I will return to guard the Nine Serene and won't wait for him."

After a round of toasting, Yao Ming conveyed his intention to leave.

Since the war ended, Lin Xiu had been taken away by the Dragon Emperor, and he hadn't had a chance to see him.

But Yao Ming couldn't stay here indefinitely.

Because there was someone he couldn't afford to offend Cultivating beneath the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, and he had always remembered the task Lin Xiu had given him earlier.

The Grand Elder smiled and agreed, not trying to keep him.

Now that the Dragon Clan had just been reunified, everything was starting anew, and there was still much to do. With the camaraderie from this battle, they wouldn't lack opportunities to meet again in the future.

Escorted personally by an Elder, Yao Ming left the Ancient Dragon World and headed towards the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Clan.

Along the way, whenever he recalled Lin Xiu's bravery, he felt that the imprint in his mind was not a threat, but rather a bond that brought them closer.

"It's just a pity that such a good opportunity was missed. If I could have shown off a bit, I would definitely have left a better impression on the Alliance Chief's mind."

Yao Ming secretly regretted... Meanwhile,

In the depths of East Dragon Island, Lin Xiu sat cross-legged, surrounded by blazing flames. Blood-colored light rose within the sea of fire, and large amounts of bloody, violent energy were gradually being purified from the fire.

Not far away, Zi Yan propped her chin in her hand, quietly watching this scene. From time to time, she would leave to handle internal clan affairs as the Dragon Emperor.

Lin Xiu's current seclusion lasted for several months.

[Attribute Points: 0]

...Scanning the panel information, Lin Xiu exhaled slightly, a satisfied look appearing on his Face.

The strength of the Three Heavenly Phoenixes and the three Dragon Kings of the Ancient Dragon Clan was extremely formidable.

After he absorbed their power, his Realm directly reached Five-Star Dou Sheng.

If Xiao Xuan were to see such a terrifying rate of improvement, he would surely be astonished.

"I didn't expect that in order to purify the contamination from their power, my Physical Body strength would also increase to the Middle Stage. This is an unexpected bonus."

Lin Xiu hadn't seen his Physical Body naturally grow in a long time.

Normally, ordinary attacks couldn't even break through his defenses.

If he encountered a powerful opponent, he wouldn't foolishly let the opponent hit him. He would directly use his Emperor Realm Soul advantage, combined with Soul Fighting Skills, to deal with the opponent.

And the higher the Realm, the stronger the opponents he encountered. At this point, using Yellow Rank or Profound Rank Fighting Skills to fight would certainly not be realistic.

It was also quite difficult to obtain attribute points, but fortunately, he had previously obtained several Heaven Rank Fighting Skills from Zhu Kun and the Yellow Spring Stone Tablet.

Once their Ranks reached Perfection, they could provide nearly a hundred attribute points.

"When I go back, I'll spar with Senior Xiao. I still need to accumulate attribute points, and my Cultivation Technique should also be upgraded."

Lin Xiu was also somewhat expectant. Since he could even fuse the Spiritual Qi of the Upper Realm, was it possible for his Cultivation Technique to upgrade to the level of the Upper Realm's?

While pondering, he looked up.

The next second, a purple-haired figure entered his sight. She froze for a moment, then scurried over and crashed into Lin Xiu's arms, knocking him down.

"You're finally awake."

Zi Yan affectionately rubbed her forehead against his chin, then looked up to examine him.

"Has the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan been settled?"

Lin Xiu asked with a smile.

Zi Yan nodded, "Of course! If anyone disobeys, I'll cut them down with the Dragon Slaying Sword."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something, struggled free from Lin Xiu's embrace, and sat beside him.

She stared at Lin Xiu, "Honestly, tell me, why do you have the Dragon Slaying Sword?"

This wasn't some Bloodline talent, but a unique Fighting Skill of their Dragon Clan. Unless it was found and learned from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan's treasury.

"Your father gave it to me."

Lin Xiu looked at her. As soon as his words fell, her expression suddenly froze.

After several seconds, Zi Yan finally came back to her senses, her voice soft, "You mean my father?"

She had lived in Canaan Academy ever since she could remember.

If Lin Xiu hadn't brought her to the Central Plains, she wouldn't even know what kind of Demonic Beast she was.

Because she accidentally ingested medicinal herbs when she was young, Zi Yan needed sufficient strength to transform into her true form.

So, in the Academy, she often took advantage of her freedom from Restrictions to frequently devour various Heaven And Earth Treasures from the Academy's medicine vault.

After Zi Yan returned to the Dragon Clan, the news she received was that the old Dragon Emperor—her father—had disappeared for thousands of years, with no news of him.

But now, Lin Xiu was actually telling her that he had met her father?

"Yes, the old Dragon Emperor who disappeared for thousands of years. He sensed your aura from my Bloodline, and he might have guessed that this day would come. He not only gave me the Dragon Slaying Sword but also Fighting Skills like the Dragon Emperor Bell."

Lin Xiu's palm gently rested on her purple hair.

"Where is he?"

Zi Yan bit her thin lip with her pearly teeth, her gaze fixed on Lin Xiu.

Although she tried her best to remain calm, the constant trembling of her eyes showed the turmoil in Zi Yan's heart.

"He's locked in a place that's very important. I can't tell you yet, but I promise you, you and your father will definitely meet."

Lin Xiu forced a smile.

Zi Yan huffed, "He abandoned me when I was so young! I don't want to see him. It's good that he's locked up; it's best if he stays locked up forever."

She threw herself back into Lin Xiu's arms, "I forbid you to save him! I forbid it!"

Towards the end, her voice was slightly choked.

Although Lin Xiu had never experienced being abandoned, when his grandparents went to work in the fields when he was young, for safety reasons, they would lock him in the house while he slept.

He could empathize with the feeling of helplessness and panic he felt every time he woke up to an empty house with no one there.

After a while, Zi Yan's mood calmed down slightly, "Are you leaving?"

Lin Xiu paused, then slowly nodded, "In a while, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame should be appearing. I need to go back and prepare."

"I'll go help you then."

Zi Yan offered proactively.

"No need. Your energy hasn't been completely assimilated yet. Besides, you have something more important to do."

Lin Xiu replied.

Zi Yan looked up in confusion, "What is it? Why don't I know?"

"Because I'm only about to tell you now, of course you don't know."

Lin Xiu said with a mischievous smile. He leaned in and whispered into Zi Yan's ear.

The next second, Zi Yan's ear tips turned crimson, but facing Lin Xiu's inquiring gaze, she still nodded.
