148: The upper power of the rising dragon clan

More than two years passed in the outside world, and with the seven-fold time-flow acceleration, at least fourteen years had gone by within Dragon Peak.

After fourteen years of intense closed-door Cultivation, Ao Jingtain’s Cultivation Realm successfully advanced to the Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm, and her entire state was optimized for the Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts.

Seeing this, Long Aotian also felt very satisfied.

“Junior Brother, just as you said, after Cultivating the Piao Yao Divine Skill in conjunction with my Wind Spiritual Root, it seems to have created some incredible catalytic effect, and my speed has increased significantly.”

“Although my current speed cannot yet match yours, Junior Brother, I have managed to reach the divine speed of ninety thousand li in a single step!”

“Hahaha, with a bit more time to Cultivate, I am confident I can definitely catch up to you in terms of speed, Junior Brother.”

Ao Jingtain spoke with excitement and a touch of pride.

Previously, Ao Zhan had told her that the Piao Yao Divine Skill should be Cultivated in conjunction with her Wind Spiritual Root for extraordinary results, but she had dismissed it, not prioritizing the pursuit of speed.

Especially since, within the same Realm, her speed was virtually unrivaled, why would she need to deliberately Cultivate anything else?

It wasn't until Long Aotian's appearance, who intensely stimulated her in terms of speed, and his subsequent guidance, that she gradually began to take Cultivating the Piao Yao Divine Skill seriously, even combining it with her Wind Spiritual Root.

The result of this Cultivation left her stunned.

Her speed could actually achieve such astonishing improvements?

It was simply unbelievable!

The Piao Yao Divine Skill that Ao Zhan had taught her in childhood, which had been neglected for many years, unexpectedly made her feel as if she had discovered a treasure more than a decade later.

She felt a bit annoyed with herself for not appreciating the value of this treasure when she was young, focusing solely on improving her Cultivation Realm and casting aside such a precious movement Martial Skill.

However, realizing it now and picking it up to learn again was not too late.

“Ninety thousand li in a single step?”

Long Aotian couldn't help but be surprised upon hearing this.

His current speed had only reached one hundred thousand li in a single step; it seemed he needed to quickly improve his speed, or else this girl might actually surpass him.

It could be said that Ao Jingtain's astonishing achievements in speed further stimulated Long Aotian's desire to improve his own speed.

“Senior Sister, catching up to my speed is very difficult; you'll really need to work hard.”

Long Aotian wasn't worried about Ao Jingtain surpassing him in speed; even if she did, what then?

Besides, with a sense of urgency, he didn't believe Ao Jingtain could still surpass him.

He was also sincerely happy for Ao Jingtain's astonishing achievements in speed.

Now that she had grown up, Ao Jingtain had undoubtedly replaced his mother, his aunt, and his Clan sisters, becoming the closest person to him, and this intimacy was different from the familial affection with his mother, aunt, and Clan sisters; the intimate relationship between him and Ao Jingtain was more of an ambiguous, indescribable connection.

“Junior Brother, you seem to be having a nosebleed again!”

“...Am I? Hmm, no wonder I feel a bit dizzy. I really don't know if this is because I'm too vigorous, or if my Dao Cultivation isn't up to par yet. But I feel if I don't improve my Dao Cultivation, I might really die from anemia.”

“Pfft!”

Ao Jingtain immediately burst out laughing: “If you really died from anemia, wouldn't that prove that charm can truly be lethal, capable of killing someone? Junior Brother, are you indirectly praising me for being beautiful?”

“...Senior Sister, you should put your clothes on. My Dao Cultivation isn't up to par yet.”

“It's alright, Junior Brother, I can wipe your nosebleed for you.”

“...”

Long Aotian's mouth twitched.

Was this about wiping a nosebleed?

“Hehe, I was just joking with you. Didn't you want me to put on my clothes? Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and come help me put them on?!”

“...Oh.”

Long Aotian's mouth twitched again.

I meant for you to wear them, not for me to put them on for you.

But he didn't dare to say that.

He understood very well that his Senior Sister loved to play with fire with him, and she wasn't afraid of getting burned. What could he do?

Let her flirt wildly!

Sooner or later, she would realize that playing with fire with him meant she had met her match... The two walked out of the Peak Master's Immortal Cave, smiling like a young couple.

Subsequently, Long Aotian then seriously checked the specific situation of Dragon Peak and the overall strength of the Dragon Clan after fourteen years of closed-door Cultivation.

First were those with the highest Cultivation Realm besides himself.

Long Aotian immediately focused on his father Long Bubai, mother Hua Buwan, aunt Hua Buqi, grandfather Long Wudi, Great-Grandfather Long Shijie, and the Dragon War God.

“Not bad! Father, Mother, Grandfather, and Great-Grandfather have all Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm, with Father even Breakthrough to the Second Revolution of the Mahayana Realm, clearly leading the others.”

“My aunt's talent is the most Heaven-Defying; before this, she was only at the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm, the lowest Cultivation among all who Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm. Yet, during this closed-door Cultivation, she leaped to the First Revolution of the Mahayana Realm.”

“The speed of Cultivation advancement for Pure Spiritual Root Cultivators is indeed terrifying. As long as they are given sufficient high-quality Cultivation resources, a good Cultivation environment, and powerful Cultivation Techniques, their Cultivation will rapidly improve as if on steroids.”

“As for the Dragon War God, although he also has a Pure Metal Spiritual Root, it seems that his earlier poor foundation and older age when he started Cultivating affected his Martial Arts Talent. His current Cultivation has only Breakthrough to the Ninth Revolution Peak of the Spirit Division Realm.”

“However, this Cultivation Realm is already very formidable in the Eastern Desolate.”

“There is still one year until the Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts. With the seven-fold time-flow acceleration, if the Dragon War God continues his closed-door Cultivation for another seven years, he will definitely Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm!”

“Thus, excluding my aunt, the Dragon Clan will have at least five Mahayana Realm powerhouses who can accompany me to Central Continent to Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm.”

“However, this is only a conservative estimate.”

“The Second Elder, Dragon War Emperor, and the Third Ancestor, Dragon War Sovereign, have also Breakthrough to the Mid to Late Stage of the Spirit Division Realm, not far from the Mahayana Realm.”

“Additionally, many of the Family Guardians of the Wu Generation and Family Elders of the Bu Generation have also Breakthrough to the Spirit Division Realm, indicating their excellent Martial Arts Talent, which is worth focusing on cultivating.”

“Hmm?”

“Among the Disciples of the Ao Generation, someone has actually Breakthrough to the Spirit Division Realm?”

Long Aotian was somewhat surprised.

He could have imagined that many of the Bu Generation might Breakthrough to the Spirit Division Realm, but he had absolutely not expected that someone from the new generation, the Ao Generation, could also Breakthrough to the Spirit Division Realm.

How could this not surprise him?

“Long Aomei, Long Aolan, Long Aozhu, Long Aoju, Long Aoxue, very good. All five are at the First Revolution of the Spirit Division Realm, with Long Aomei showing faint signs of Breakthrough to the Second Revolution of the Spirit Division Realm, still the 'big sister' among the Ten Disciples of the Ao Generation.”

“Five people Breakthrough to the Spirit Division Realm, this definitely brings great honor to the Disciples of the Ao Generation, they must be rewarded!”
