The two corpses turned into two huge broken pieces of dragon corpses. They plopped into the river.

Two Dragon Saints had both died.

Zhang Ruochen collected their weapons—the Thunder God Tripod and Dragon Bone Spear. Then he descended from the sky. He landed on a 300-meter-long dragon corpse fragment and dug out a black dragon pearl.

It was able to change in size.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Right then, the dragon pearl shrunk to the size of a man’s head. Zhang Ruochen held it in his hand with strands of electricity flowing over it.

Blackie climbed out of Zhang Ruochen’s sleeve. Staring at the dragon pearl, it said, “A Dragon Saint’s pearl is a priceless treasure. When you create a saintly source and enter the lower Saint Realm, you can absorb this dragon pearl. It’ll be worth decades of hard work. You’ll be able to reach the pinnacle of the lower Saint Realm in a few days.”

“It’s that powerful?”

Zhang Ruochen knew that the dragon pearl was very valuable, but he didn’t think it could be so beneficial to cultivation.

It was ten times harder to make a breakthrough in the Saint Realm than Half-Saint Realm. Going from the beginning to the pinnacle of the lower Saint Realm was a huge distance. Other lower-level Saints had to cultivate for decades to have such an accomplishment.

“It’s a pity that Dragon Saint Ye Hong’s dragon pearl was shattered by the time Saintly Look.” Zhang Ruochen sighed.

If he could have two dragon pearls, he might be able to break into the mid-level in a short time.

Whoosh!

A golden cloud rushed over. It appeared above Zhang Ruochen’s head with many dragon shadows flying inside it.

Ao Yi walked out of the cloud, standing on a dragon shadow. He looked down at Zhang Ruochen with a troubled expression.

Earlier, Zhang Ruochen had used the Great Spatial Move. He’d used Spiritual Power to fool the Saints of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan, but he couldn’t fool Ao Yi.

Zhang Ruochen raised his head and met Ao Yi’s eyes. Merely seeing those eyes, Zhang Ruochen realized that the other man knew his identity.

He’d indeed helped the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan earlier, but the Time and Space Descendant was a huge figure. If Ao Yi captured him, he could ask for recognition from the imperial court and explain to Ancient Dragon Mountain.

Right now, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t sure if Ao Yi would attack him or not.

Of course, even if he did, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid. He could escape from Divine Dream Marsh with the Great Spatial Move.

A moment later, Ao Yi said, “It was completely unexpected for you to come here.”

“You must be surprised to see me alive, right?” Zhang Ruochen asked, smiling.

“I am indeed surprised.”

Ao Yi was more and more impressed by Zhang Ruochen. This man could remain composed no matter the situation or strong cultivator he faced.

More importantly, he wasn’t dead. He was standing right before Ao Yi.

Whoosh!

A willowy figure traveled over on waves. Like a fairy, her skin was as translucent as saintly jade. Water vapor surrounded her, giving her supernatural beauty.

Ao Xinyan’s starry eyes stared hard at Zhang Ruochen. She bit her red lips in excitement and joy.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at her. The four eyes met.

Can she recognize me?

Shock flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

“Thank you, Princess, for your saintly sword. I will return it now.”

Zhang Ruochen loosened his fingers and the sword flew back automatically. It circled Ao Xinyan’s slender frame and then rushed into her forehead.

“Grandfather,” Ao Xinyan said. “Lord Zhang is an esteemed guest of the Yin and Yang Sect. He just arrived and experienced such a horrible battle. He must be exhausted. I wish to welcome him personally and thank him for ridding our clan of two great enemies.”

Ao Yi had lived for centuries and was very wise. How could he not see what Ao Xinyan wanted? He nodded and chuckled.

“Alright, you youngsters definitely have more to talk about. You can welcome Lord Zhang. However, he is a Saint. You can’t offend him.”

Ao Xinyan pressed her pretty lips into a smile. Then she made a welcoming gesture and led Zhang Ruochen back to Dragon Spirit Island. They went straight to her cultivation residence, Heart Moon River.

All the cultivators were shocked by this.

“Did I see incorrectly? Princess Yan actually brought the Yin and Yang Sect heir to Heart Moon River? Men are never allowed there.”

“That heir is a top young talent. Does our beautiful Princess Yan have feelings for him?”

Many young men in the clan all thought that Princess Yan was a goddess. Marrying her was the lifelong goal that they worked hard toward. Now, they naturally felt heartbroken but couldn’t do anything about it.

The Yin and Yang Sect heir was too powerful and excellent. They could only gaze from afar.

Ao Jing widened his eyes, finding this unbelievable. “Father, that Yin and Yang Sect heir is very strong. Yan’er is still too young. She might not be able to welcome someone so powerful. I will go to Heart Moon River too...”

“What are you going there for?” Ao Yi asked.

Ao Jing froze and quickly processed this. Smiling, he asked, “Father, did you plan this purposely? That Yin and Yang Sect heir is quite a figure. He is at Yan’er’s level.”

Ao Yi’s eyes were deep.

Nowadays, there was a large group of talents in Kunlun’s Field. A large number will definitely rise up in the chaos and replace the older generation of strong cultivators, becoming rulers of their own accord.

There were countless talents, but Zhang Ruochen was definitely the lead figure. If he really could become the prince of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan, it would be beneficial to the clan’s future.

...

Heart Moon River was a blue river in Dragon Spirit Island. It was only around 200 miles long, but it was rich with Spiritual Qi and very scenic.

There was a crystal palace at the bottom of the river. It looked like a dragon palace. Colorful corals, strange fish, glimmering spiritual grass, translucent stones and more could be seen everywhere.

This was Ao Xinyan’s palace, as well as her cultivation residence.

Zhang Ruochen sat inside the crystal palace, observing the underwater scene. “Beautiful,” he said.

Ao Xinyan changed into a jeweled dress, showing off all the right curves on her. Her plush chest, slender waist, and slim and long legs were filled with noble and elegant aura.

But when she went to Zhang Ruochen’s side, that elegance disappeared. Instead, she smiled a bit proudly. “Group Leader, you think that the top beauty of the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan can’t be compared to the scenery outside?”

Zhang Ruochen looked away and smiled. “You really did recognize me.”

Ao Xinyan was a bit resentful. “If I didn’t, you’d just keep hiding from me.”

“Knowing that I’m alive might not be a good thing for you.”

Ao Xinyan huffed and walked over to Zhang Ruochen. “I know many things happened to you, but you should know that I’m not a girl who’s easily scared. I was actually really sad when I learned that you died under the trial thunder. After learning that you were alive and in Divine Dream Marsh, you can’t imagine how excited and happy I was.”

She regretted it the moment she spoke. She felt like she’d revealed her inner feelings and was afraid that Zhang Ruochen would laugh at her.

Oh no. Group Leader must know that I have feelings for him and that I like him... What should I do... What should I do... Ao Xinyan, how come you can’t control your mouth? Why do you have to say everything?

Ao Xinyan hadn’t controlled her feelings because she was too overjoyed. Right now, her heart beat quickly, thumping.

She didn’t look like a Pre-Saint or a talent with a decisive personality. She was like a little girl with her first crush.

“Oh...really?”

Zhang Ruochen raised his head. Looking at Ao Xinyan’s perfect and flawless face, he smiled.

Ao Xinyan grew shy from getting looked at. A blush emerged on her cheeks. “We’ve gone through life-and-death experiences,” she said softly. “We have a deep friendship. I naturally worry about you.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “No, what I meant was, you really aren’t a girl who’s easily afraid?”

“Of course not.”

Ao Xinyan let out a breath, thinking, So Group Leader’s focus isn’t on this. At the same time, she was also disappointed.

“In that case, I have a request. I don’t know if you’re willing to help.”

“What request?” Ao Xinyan was clear that Zhang Ruochen hadn’t come just to see her. He must have something very important to do.

“I must visit Yin Yang Sea,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I heard that Divine Dream Marsh has a wormhole that leads there?”

Ao Xinyan was taken aback. “Why are you going to Yin Yang Sea? That’s a forbidden zone by the Divine Dragons. It’s also a place of death. You can’t get in at all.”

“Just answer this,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Does Divine Dream Marsh have a wormhole to the Yin Yang Sea?”

Ao Xinyan was silent for a moment. “Yes.”

Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed. “I really do have an important matter at Yin Yang Sea. Can you help me?”

“Since you asked me, how can I say no?” Ao Xinyan fluttered her lashes. “But I will go with you.”

“No, it’s too dangerous!” Zhang Ruochen said.

“I once trained outside Yin Yang Sea. I will definitely be more familiar than you. And if you don’t agree...” Ao Xinyan revealed her proud side. Crossing her arms before her chest, she smiled and continued, “If you don’t agree, I won’t take you to the wormhole.”

Zhang Ruochen shrugged. Smiling, he shook his head. He was truly powerless. When Ao Xinyan was acting stubborn, no one could control her. Even if Zhang Ruochen didn’t bring her to Yin Yang Sea, she would definitely follow by herself.

Tap, tap.

A 16-year-old girl walked in and bowed respectfully to Ao Xinyan. “Princess, the surveillance guard sent a message that they’ve captured a crazy alcoholic that tried breaking in. He claims to be Lord Zhang’s drinking friend.”

“Drinking friend?”

Ao Xinyan’s eyes were filled with confusion. She turned to look at Zhang Ruochen.

“That old man actually chased me from the central region to Divine Dream Marsh. How did he know where I went?” Zhang Ruochen was surprised.
