257: Heading to the Azure Dragon Clan

"Alright, then I'll tell you exactly what the job entails."

"If you still have no objections, then I'll arrange for you to be tested at my Sect. Once you pass, you can take up a position in my Sect."

Seeing Ao Shishi's confident expression,

Jiang Chen explained the matter of cultivating the dragon scale fruit tree to Ao Shishi, then quietly waited for her reply.

"Ah? Bleeding to plant trees?" Hearing that she would have to use her blood to plant trees at Qingtian Sect, Ao Shishi looked stunned.

She had considered many kinds of jobs, even wiping tables and sweeping floors, but she never imagined it would be bleeding to plant trees. This job was truly bizarre.

"How about it, Fellow Daoist Ao? Are you still willing now?" Seeing Ao Shishi stunned, Jiang Chen asked.

If Ao Shishi was unwilling, he wouldn't force her.

After all, there were still many dragon scale fruits in the orchard, and there would be opportunities to grow more dragon scale fruit trees in the future, so there was no need to rush.

Hearing Jiang Chen's voice,

Ao Shishi recovered from her daze, fell silent for a moment, then looked at Fellow Daoist Jiang with resolute eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I am willing. As long as I can secure a position in Fellow Daoist Jiang's Sect, I am willing to use Dragon blood to plant trees."

She wasn't just one Dragon; she had the entire Azure Dragon Clan as her backing. Even if her blood wasn't enough, there was the Dragon blood of the entire Azure Dragon Clan, so there was no need to worry about the blood issue at all.

Now, the only thing she needed to do was firmly cling to Jiang Chen, this mighty tree.

She was still very confident in Jiang Chen's character. After all, with Jiang Chen's terrifying strength, the fact that he didn't forcefully capture her to plant trees was the best proof.

"Good, since you're willing, I won't say more."

"If you have no other matters now, I can let you use the intergalactic teleportation array to go to my Sect for the test," Jiang Chen nodded and continued to ask.

This continent was not far from the Star Luo Continent. As long as Ao Shishi agreed to go for the test now, he could immediately take her to the Star Luo Continent to use the teleportation array.

"This..."

Ao Shishi paused at his words, then said to Jiang Chen with some embarrassment, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I want to return to my clan first. My father's Lifespan is running out, and he could perish at any moment. I need to send the longevity fruit back to him first."

After Ao Shishi finished speaking, she nervously looked at Jiang Chen, fearing that he would refuse her request.

However, her worries were unnecessary.

Jiang Chen had no intention of refusing; instead, he replied with a smile.

"Since your father's Lifespan is about to dry up, I'll accompany you back. After giving the longevity fruit to your father, I will build an intergalactic teleportation array in your Azure Dragon Clan, allowing you to directly travel from your clan to my Sect for the test."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang." Hearing Jiang Chen agree, Ao Shishi happily cupped her fists and thanked him.

Then, she gestured for Jiang Chen and the other person to fly out of this space and towards the endless starry sky.

After half a day of traveling,

Ao Shishi brought Jiang Chen and Liu Shu to a lake on a desolate continent.

Ao Shishi waved her hand, splitting the entire lake in half, revealing an entrance to another space.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is the location of my Azure Dragon Clan. Please follow me."

Ao Shishi said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, then led the way towards the entrance of the Azure Dragon Clan's territory.

Looking at the Azure Dragon Clan hidden in the lake, Jiang Chen was also a little surprised.

It was truly regrettable that the Dragon Clan, the kings of all beasts, had to hide.

Following behind Ao Shishi,

Jiang Chen and Liu Shu slowly walked into the entrance leading to the Azure Dragon Clan.

As the surrounding space shifted, the two instantly arrived in a world of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

The mountains here were tall and densely forested, and the Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant. Compared to the desolate continent outside, it was simply two different worlds.

"Greetings, Princess!" Seeing Ao Shishi bring Jiang Chen and Liu Shu into the Azure Dragon Clan's space,

the two quasi-Emperor Dragon Clan youths guarding the entrance immediately bowed to Ao Shishi.

However, after they bowed, they all stared curiously at Jiang Chen.

Although their Azure Dragon Clan and humans didn't have a deep-seated hatred, they were still two different races.

The fact that Ao Shishi, the princess of the Azure Dragon Clan, could bring Jiang Chen and Liu Shu to the Azure Dragon Clan meant that she completely trusted these two members of the Human Race.

So they were very curious about what charm these two possessed that made Ao Shishi trust them so much.

"Mm."

Ao Shishi nodded at the two quasi-Emperor Dragon Clan members.

Then, she politely gestured to Jiang Chen and Liu Shu, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please follow me. I'll take you to the reception hall to rest first. After I give the longevity fruit to my father, I'll come find you right away."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and taking Liu Shu, followed Ao Shishi's guidance to a magnificent palace.

After arranging for the Dragon Clan maidservants to serve Jiang Chen enlightenment tea and various spiritual fruits,

Ao Shishi hurriedly walked towards a secret chamber behind the magnificent palace.

"Father, I've brought you longevity fruit," Ao Shishi called out to the secret chamber from its entrance.

"Oh? Shishi is back!"

As a vicissitudes voice came from within the secret chamber, the tightly shut door suddenly opened.

Seeing the door open,

Ao Shishi didn't hesitate and stepped inside.

She quickly arrived beside a Middle-aged Man in a green robe, whose body was filled with Death Qi.

"Father, quickly take the longevity fruit." Seeing the Death Qi on the green-robed man growing thicker, Ao Shishi quickly took out five longevity fruits.

"Hiss, how many are there?" Seeing five longevity fruits floating before him, the Middle-aged Man in green robe was utterly shocked.

The Immortal crystal he gave Ao Shishi could at most be exchanged for one longevity fruit, but now there were five longevity fruits before him, which truly startled him.

"Father, this was given to me by a Human Fellow Daoist I met."

Seeing the Middle-aged Man in green robe's shocked expression, Ao Shishi quickly recounted the events of the Stone Valley Forbidden Ground.

"What!!"

"Someone can actually instantly kill those terrifying creatures?"

After listening to Ao Shishi's narration,

the Middle-aged Man in green robe's shock not only didn't subside but he even sprang up from the ground, staring fixedly at Ao Shishi, clearly having received an even greater shock.

"Father, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"

Seeing the Middle-aged Man in green robe, who had just been lifeless, now shouting and jumping, Ao Shishi was a bit confused.

Facing Ao Shishi's bewildered question,

the Middle-aged Man in green robe calmed himself down and sighed, "Shishi, you only know that those terrifying creatures are powerful, but you don't know their true strength."

"If those terrifying creatures fought one-on-one, no one in this starry sky would be their match."

"The Fellow Daoist you mentioned, who instantly killed over a dozen terrifying creatures, if he truly exists, then he is already an Immortal-level being."

The Middle-aged Man in green robe revealed a look of longing, his voice somewhat agitated, "That's an Immortal!"

"This starry sky hasn't seen an Immortal in 100,000 years. Even the path to Immortal Ascension has been destroyed. Do you know what the appearance of an Immortal means?"

"It means that your father might be able to go to a higher world and no longer have to worry about perishing due to a depleted Lifespan."

"Do you think your father can not be excited?!"

After the Middle-aged Man in green robe finished speaking, his body couldn't help but tremble; this was a sign of extreme excitement.

"Im... Immortal?" After hearing the Middle-aged Man in green robe's words, Ao Shishi mumbled with a stunned expression.

In the ancient Jade Slips of the Azure Dragon Clan, she had seen descriptions of Immortals and knew that Immortals were a Realm above Great Emperors.

They were powerful Cultivators from another plane.

Although she knew Jiang Chen was terrifying, she never imagined that Jiang Chen had reached this level.

After all, if Jiang Chen were an Immortal, he wouldn't address her as a Fellow Daoist, nor would he agree for her to undergo the Sect test.

Jiang Chen's actions clearly indicated he was a Cultivator of this starry sky, so how could he be an Immortal?
