Checking in for 100,000 Years

Perhaps it's because he had been lying in the coffin for too long.

The new consciousness born within the 10,000-year-old Corpse Demon's body varied greatly from his previous life. This explained why, when he looked at Ye Yun, he judged his cultivation base solely on his Super Divine Dragon Breath. In the Corpse Demon's eyes, Ye Yun seemed to have no cultivation base, so he was disregarded at the time.

Ye Yun smiled faintly.

This fellow's consciousness, having been reborn from the corpse, is vastly different from that of a normal human. Most of the time, his body is driven by ferocious instinct.

The Corpse Demon cast his gaze downward. On the square, a group of the Five-Colored Dragon Carp clan members knelt, their bodies covered with a thin layer of ice. They looked fresh, sweet, and delectable.

He licked his lips.

These Five-Colored Dragon Carp had been kept for so long. They had not only provided the Ancient Heroes with embryos for nurturing the Mysterious Yin Demon Seed, but their own vital energy hadn't diminished much either. Now, they were about to become his great nourishment, enough to allow him to break through to the Destiny Realm Second Layer at least.

He reached out a hand, intending to grab and eat one of the Five-Colored Dragon Carp.

Suddenly, his hand stopped mid-air.

The Corpse Demon stared wide-eyed. He discovered a mysterious Big Black Horse had appeared out of nowhere, floating opposite him.

"Boy, you're pretty arrogant, huh?"

The Big Black Horse smacked his lips, revealing a set of white teeth in a brilliant smile. He sniffed with his nose, then huffed irritably, "Damn it, you stink!"

The Big Black Cat, lying on the distant carriage, heard these familiar words. He stretched his neck and burst out laughing, "Yes, yes! Uncle Ma has spoken! You'd better go take a bath, quick!"

The Big Black Horse laughed heartily. He seemed to recall that scene from the past in the misty valley when he had sent the Big Black Cat flying into the pool with a single kick of his hoof.

Ye Yun smiled. This Big Black Horse is very fond of cleanliness. And the foul stench emanating from this 10,000-year-old Corpse Demon is truly unbearable for him.

"You're looking for death!"

Although the 10,000-year-old Corpse Demon wasn't very bright, he still sensed the Big Black Horse's ridicule. He thrust out his hand, clawing towards the Big Black Horse. His long fingernails, shimmering with a sharp glint, were like peerless Divine Weapons at this moment.

"You're too weak!"

The Big Black Horse sneered, and a blue bolt of lightning spat from his mouth. This bolt of lightning, moving too fast to react, struck the 10,000-year-old Corpse Demon's hand.

BOOM!

Half of the Corpse Demon's arm instantly exploded.

He was instantly terrified, paling as he retreated continuously, his body trembling uncontrollably. That blue bolt of lightning moments ago had made him feel an unimaginable destructive will. It seemed as if, at that moment, he was facing a Heavenly Tribulation.

ZAP!

The Big Black Horse opened his mouth, and another blue bolt of lightning shot out. The 10,000-year-old Corpse Demon turned and fled. But how could he possibly escape this blue lightning? This bolt was even fiercer than the last. It struck the Corpse Demon's body and exploded with a deafening roar, instantly blasting him to smithereens.

Dragon Qing stared, flabbergasted. What is the Big Black Horse's cultivation base? He's too strong, isn't he? The Big Black Cat earlier already gave me a huge shock, but this Big Black Horse... he's left me completely dumbstruck! A Corpse Demon of the Destiny Realm possesses an unimaginably tough physical body. Yet, just two bolts of lightning spat out by the Big Black Horse completely obliterated it. It's clear just how high the Big Black Horse's cultivation base is!

The Big Black Horse wagged his tail, transformed into a streak of black light, and returned to the carriage, fastening the reins to himself again.

"That's Uncle Ma for you! Just by opening his mouth, the 10,000-year-old Corpse Demon was reduced to ashes!" the Big Black Cat said, cupping his paws in a salute with a fawning expression.

"Enough with the flattery!" the Big Black Horse grumbled, feigning nonchalance.

A mere Destiny Realm Corpse Demon. Nothing more than an ant before me, easily crushed. On this continent, apart from the Eternal Mirror, which I can't easily crush, everything else is fair game.

Ye Yun waved his hand. The thin layer of ice covering the Five-Colored Dragon Carp clan members on the square instantly vanished. They became fully conscious.

"What just happened?"

They exchanged bewildered glances, seemingly still unaware of the events that had just transpired around them.

Little Sixth, the young boy from behind Dragon Qing, rushed over and hurriedly recounted the two harrowing battles that had just occurred. Upon hearing his account, everyone's expression changed dramatically, and cold sweat broke out on their bodies. To think that while we were in a daze, we hovered at death's door twice and nearly lost our lives!

The young boy led the clan members before Ye Yun, and they all knelt.

"Thank you, Sir, for saving our lives!" they exclaimed, their expressions fervent, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces.

Ye Yun gently waved his hand, and a current of Mana lifted the Five-Colored Dragon Carp clan members.

"You don't need to stay here any longer. Pack your things and gather back here."

Ye Yun looked at Dragon Qing and said calmly.

"Yes, Sir!" Dragon Qing replied respectfully. He waved to the clan members, and they all instantly vanished from the spot.

「A short while later.」

Everyone had reassembled at the same spot.

Ye Yun looked at the crowd and slowly began to speak.

"You are the descendants of the Five-Colored Dragon Carp from Dragon Lake of the Dragon God Sect. The Dragon God Sect will be rebuilt, and Dragon Lake will also be restored. So, for now…"

Reaching this point, Ye Yun took out a small white bottle. He smiled faintly and said, "This bottle contains a world of its own, with a vast ocean inside. You may rest and recuperate there for the time being!"

"Thank you, Sir!"

Hearing that their master would allow them to return to their ancestral home, Dragon Lake, Dragon Qing was overcome with emotion, old tears streaming down his face as he sobbed uncontrollably. Seeing their old Clan Leader cry, the other Five-Colored Dragon Carp clan members also covered their faces and wept.

WHOOSH...

Ye Yun raised the small bottle. It generated a suction force, instantly pulling all the Five-Colored Dragon Carp inside.

After stowing the bottle away, he looked at the ruins in the water and blew a gentle breath. Instantly, the massive Great Mysterious Gate Ruins completely disintegrated into fine particles and vanished.

Since his rebirth, Ye Yun had mastered countless Divine Techniques and Cultivation Techniques. The rewards related to Cultivation Techniques, gathered over one hundred thousand years of sign-ins, filled an entire warehouse, yet Ye Yun had only learned a tiny fraction of them.

Since leaving the ruins of the Dragon God Sect in the Shenfeng Dynasty, he had been constantly cultivating and seeking enlightenment in his carriage along the way. His current cultivation base was now only a single step away from the True God Realm Tenth Layer.

Ye Yun appeared on the carriage. His brow smoothed as he looked at the Big Black Cat, who was covered in wounds and lying pitifully on the carriage.

The Big Black Cat gave an embarrassed smile. Although I really want a reward from the Master, I don't dare ask for it.

"Little Cat, you performed well this time!"

Ye Yun raised his hand, and a black cloth pouch landed in front of the Big Black Cat. He then lifted the carriage curtain and entered the compartment.

The Big Black Cat's expression was ecstatic. With trembling paws, he picked up the black cloth pouch and carefully opened it.

"This is...?"

When the Big Black Cat saw the contents of the pouch, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from sheer excitement.
