263: Zulong's arrangement, Ao Jingtian's enviable treasure

Dragon, one year old every hundred years.

Human, one lifetime every hundred years.

—Dynamic Chinese Animation "Monster List"

Whether in her previous life or this one, Ao Jingtain’s age wasn't actually very old, but according to the Dragon Clan’s special age-counting method, created based on their unique growth, compared to humans, even if she was just a ten-year-old girl, that was an incredibly long thousand years.

This is also why Ao Zhan's memory was so vast, and why it had to be divided into ten parts when Sealed within Long Aotian's Sea of Consciousness.

Suddenly unsealing tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years of his memory, and then multiplying that by a hundred when you thought that was all, is truly terrifying.

The Dragon Clan is undoubtedly one of the longest-lived races.

Especially the Grand Void Dragon Clan, the most mysterious Dragon Clan living in the vast Void Realm, their chances of being hunted, injured, or dying are the smallest among all Dragon Clans.

What's even more impossible to ignore is that among the various Dragon Clans, the Grand Void Dragon Clan possesses the most powerful Physical Body. Void Realm storms are merely an itch to them, which is also their reliance on becoming the king among the many races in the Void Realm.

Mysterious and powerful, their long years of growth also made their memory as vast as the sea.

In her memories, Ao Jingtain's childhood in her previous life was incredibly beautiful. She was the only child born to her imperial father and mother, showered with billions of favors, and was the supreme princess of the Grand Void Dragon Clan.

And not only that!

What solidified her unparalleled noble status in the Grand Void Dragon Clan was her Bloodline purity!

Yao Beast clans place the utmost importance on Bloodline purity!

Especially for ancient Divine Beast clans, Bloodline purity basically determines their future height in Cultivation Realm.

It's cruel!

But this is a reality that Yao Beasts must face!

If her Bloodline purity was too low, even if Ao Jingtain was the only princess of the Grand Void Dragon Clan, other Dragons would not think highly of her.

However, she was clearly fortunate.

Her imperial father was the Tai Xu Dragon with the highest Bloodline purity in the Grand Void Dragon Clan's Myriad Races Era, with a Bloodline purity, or ancestral return rate, exceeding eighty-five percent.

Her imperial mother's Bloodline was also among the Dragons with extremely high Bloodline purity in the Grand Void Dragon Clan, reaching over seventy-eight percent.

The combination of these powerful Bloodlines created her, a little princess whose Bloodline purity reached over ninety-five percent.

In the Grand Void Dragon Clan, because of her extremely high Bloodline purity, sometimes in the eyes of other Tai Xu Dragons, her status was even nobler than her imperial father's in the Grand Void Dragon Clan.

The Grand Void Dragon Clan regarded her as their future!

Later, as she grew up, she gradually realized the importance of Bloodline purity, because her imperial father precisely relied on his high-purity Bloodline, which no other Tai Xu Dragon could match, to rise from an ordinary Tai Xu Dragon to become the sole emperor of the Grand Void Dragon Clan.

The higher the Bloodline purity, the stronger the Bloodline pressure.

In the Grand Void Dragon Clan, her imperial father might not have been the strongest in terms of Cultivation Realm; there were those old grandfathers who were stronger than him. But when it came to Bloodline pressure, those old grandfathers, even if their Cultivation Realm was higher than her imperial father's, would tremble before him, respecting him as a supreme Dominator... She lived in a place called Tai Xu Divine Dragon Island, which seemed to be even more mysterious than the Tai Xu Dragon Realm where the Grand Void Dragon Clan lived. Many old grandfathers of their Grand Void Dragon Clan resided there, and they constantly pestered her to teach her how to Cultivate and coaxed her into Cultivating.

There, she lived a carefree life for thirteen hundred years.

Which means she was 13 years old!

Once, when her imperial father was going out, she pestered him to take her along, and because he doted on her so much, he indulged her.

That was also the first time she left Tai Xu Divine Dragon Island.

In her memory, that was also the first time she visited the Tai Xu Dragon Realm.

Her imperial father told her that it was the true communal living place of their Grand Void Dragon Clan. There was also a Tai Xu Divine Dragon Island there, but that was merely the surface ancestral land of their Grand Void Dragon Clan. This was one of the most core secrets of their Grand Void Dragon Clan. Her Bloodline purity exceeded ninety percent, giving her the right to know, and she herself was the hope of the Grand Void Dragon Clan, well-protected in the true ancestral land.

Subsequently, the father and daughter departed from the Tai Xu Dragon Realm, traveling and stopping along the way, unaware of how much time had passed.

In a daze, they eventually entered the Chaos Holy Ruins.

Her imperial father obtained a very powerful treasure in the Chaos Holy Ruins, which led to a dozen strong individuals wanting to seize his treasure and gang up on him. During the fierce battle, she was well-protected by her imperial father, who placed her in his Inner World.

Confined in the Inner World, her imperial father allowed her to release her Divine Sense to observe the situation outside.

What shocked her and what she never expected was that the intensity of the battle would be so tragic. By the end, her imperial father's Physical Body was gone, so how could he have put her in the Inner World?

In that battle, her imperial father was relentlessly pursued, and she, too, suffered extremely severe injuries during the battle due to her imperial father's Physical Body being completely destroyed at the end, after which she fell into a coma.

During those thirteen hundred years, she had always been well-protected, a carefree little princess on Tai Xu Divine Dragon Island, unfamiliar with the human world, and even not very knowledgeable about the Tai Xu Dragon Realm where the Grand Void Dragon Clan lived. How could she have ever witnessed such a brutal slaughter in the outside world?

That terrifying battle caused her immense psychological trauma, especially seeing her imperial father being continuously ganged up on, his blood flowing out little by little as he fled and fought, his flesh constantly being cut piece by piece by fierce enemies with sharp weapons during the battle as he fled and fought.

She burst into tears!

She had never seen her father being bullied before; if there was, it was him doting on her, being bullied by her, this little princess.

However, her imperial father was not as disheveled as he was now; instead, he laughed heartily... Watching her imperial father being ganged up on and even burning his lifespan to fight the enemies, she was powerless, able only to watch and cry.

At that moment, she truly hated herself for being useless and deeply blamed herself for not listening to those old grandfathers and Cultivating properly on Tai Xu Divine Dragon Island.

At that moment, she had an unprecedented desire to become stronger! An unprecedented rage! She wished she could reveal her true form and devour those bad guys directly.

As the battle concluded, she, who had long since fallen unconscious, still maintained a clear consciousness, constantly concerned about the war and about the tall male Dragon who had always held her high and let her ride on his neck.

She still remembered what her imperial father said with exceptional resolve and determination after the battle, looking at her unconscious form:

“My treasure, even if your imperial father sheds his last drop of blood, burns the last day of his Divine Soul's lifespan, and fights to the last minute and second of his life, he will not let you die! My treasure, it is your imperial father's incompetence that he could not protect you well, but rest assured, your imperial father has killed all the bad guys who dared to harm you…”

Hearing her imperial father's words to her in her consciousness, and learning that the battle had ended and her imperial father had not perished, she then completely fell into a deep coma, losing consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was only awakened by her imperial father's consciousness, communicating weakly through consciousness, which showed how severe her injuries were in that battle.

When she woke up, they were already on the Sky Ruins Continent!

Her imperial father placed several Seals on her, and finally arranged for her to enter the Reincarnation passage, Reincarnating as a human.

The first of those Seals was the memory-companion Seal.

Her imperial father did not want her to forget him, to forget all the beautiful things about living on Tai Xu Divine Dragon Island, to forget that she was a proud princess of the Grand Void Dragon Clan!

The second was the Dragon Bone Essence companion Seal, which could continuously produce Dragon Essence Blood with a purity of over ninety-five percent.

This was also something highly valued by the entire Grand Void Dragon Clan, something they protected as the future hope of the entire Grand Void Dragon Clan, even more powerful than the Dragon Bone Essence on her imperial father, which could only produce Bloodline of eighty-five percent purity.

Stronger!

The third was her own Dragon Pearl companion Seal.

There were two final Seals that her imperial father did not explain to her before sending her into the Reincarnation passage...
