Chapter 483 You May Call Me the Taoist Ancestor_2
In that primordial chaos, how could a shadow, dark and invisible, compare to Taicang?
However, today, the invincibility of Taicang, the grandeur of Taicang, had received a strong shock in his heart!
He had seen someone, an existence far stronger than Taicang, and by a significant margin.
As if all the paths in this world were but footprints he had tread, and he was proclaimed the Taoist Ancestor!
Old Man Xiao momentarily found it difficult to bear this tremendous shock, feeling his beliefs crumble, his entire being in a daze.
"I want to be alone for a while!"
Old Man Xiao, in a daze, turned and left.
Xu Yan looked on in surprise, about to call Old Man Xiao back to ask him what was wrong.
But Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Let this young friend have some quiet time alone."
Watching Old Man Xiao leave, Li Xuan smiled, reined in the Taoist Ancestor Halo, and reverted to his ordinary and plain appearance.
He understood Old Man Xiao's situation—he had encountered someone who was stronger, more imposing, and more unfathomable than the one in his beliefs and was momentarily unable to accept it.
Moreover, that person in his beliefs had a profound connection with him.
"As for Taicang,"
Li Xuan mused inwardly, although Taicang had died, his strength still became a martial artist's belief.
He looked up at the firmament. This domain was created by Taicang.
And Tian Zi was the remaining purple radiance from the creation of the world.
"If he hadn't created Tian Zi, Taicang might have been even stronger."
Li Xuan thought silently.
That streak of purple light held great creation.
The Seven Great Domain Masters each benefitted from the purple light's creation, creating their own domains, and the Minor Heaven and Earth Masters also obtained some purple light, though much less.
Because they benefitted from the purple light, they were able to create minor heavens and earths, hence they were called Minor Heaven and Earth Masters.
The three hundred realms of the Dao Domain were the minor heavens and earths of the past.
Those who came after, who did not benefit from the purple light, could only be called Realm Masters, not Minor Heaven and Earth Masters; there were some differences between the two after all.
Old Man Xiao was not a Minor Heaven and Earth Master, but a Realm Master.
He should be considered a martial artist who began training after people like Taicang, with Taicang essentially acting as his master.
"He's quite strong."
Li Xuan acknowledged Old Man Xiao's strength—he may not have benefitted from the purple light, but his strength was not weaker than that of a Minor Heaven and Earth Master, and was even stronger than some weaker Minor Heaven and Earth Masters.
"Too deeply influenced by Taicang."
Li Xuan wasn't worried that Old Man Xiao would become decadent from this; anyone who had cultivated to this realm would have an unwavering will. It was just the sudden shock that he found difficult to accept.
After some quiet time, he would naturally recover, and besides, Li Xuan's divine skills could continue to affect him, ensuring that no real issue arose in his mind.
With Old Man Xiao gone, there were no outsiders left, only familiar faces remained.
Su Lingxiu excitedly tugged on Xu Yan's sleeve, "Big Senior Brother, where's the dragon, the True Dragon?"
Fang Hao and the others also looked forward with anticipation.
"Right here!"
Xu Yan laughed heartily, retrieved the Prime Tortoise Carapace, and shifted Ao Yuxue out.
Ao Yuxue was in the midst of healing and recovery when she was suddenly brought forth, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Is this a True Dragon?"
Su Lingxiu looked on with surprise. Explore more at empire
Her small hand touched the little horn on Ao Yuxue's head, her face full of curiosity.
Ao Yuxue's face flushed red, but she dared not show anger.
"Show your true form, let my junior brother and sisters have a look!"
Xu Yan commanded.
"You're bullying me too much—I'm not a monkey!"
Ao Yuxue protested with aggrievement.
"How about this, you show your true form, and my junior sister will treat your wounds."
Xu Yan thought for a moment and then said.
"This is the last time!"
Ao Yuxue knew she had no choice.
Ao!
The pristine True Dragon appeared in an instant, with its might pervading the air.
Even though Ao Yuxue restrained her aura, the might of the True Dragon still surged powerfully, fully exhibiting the majesty of the True Dragon.
"So this is a True Dragon!"
Su Lingxiu and the others exclaimed in amazement.
"Big Brother, can Yu Xiaolong, this Flood Dragon, transform into a dragon?"
Su Lingxiu thought of her Senior Brother's pet, Yu Xiaolong.
"Whether it can or cannot, I'm not certain either!"
Xu Yan shook his head.
Su Lingxiu reached out to touch Ao Yuxue's dragon body, her eyes shining brightly, which made Ao Yuxue feel somewhat panicked. The look in Su Lingxiu's eyes was as if she wanted to dissect her!
"What's your name?"
"Ao Yuxue!"
"Sister Yu Xue, how about we make a deal?"
Su Lingxiu said excitedly.
Ao Yuxue's heart tightened, and she instinctively felt that this deal probably wasn't going to be good.
"No, I won't do it!"
She hastily shook her head.
Then, she transformed back into her human form and even instinctively hid behind Xu Yan.
Xu Yan and the others all looked puzzled; Su Lingxiu wanted to study the body of a True Dragon, much like how she had studied the Sea Spirit Tribe before.
Su Lingxiu was somewhat disappointed, but not discouraged. Ao Yuxue would be staying here from now on; there would be many opportunities, and as long as the benefits were alluring enough, she was sure to agree.
After all, there was no danger involved.
Just like with Cai Ling'er before.
"These pills, take them, recover a bit. I see you've taken significant losses!"
Su Lingxiu handed a bottle of pills to Ao Yuxue.
Ao Yuxue hesitated for a moment before accepting them. Her sharp instinct told her that these pills would greatly benefit her recovery. She was overjoyed and also stunned by the miraculous effects of the pills.
After all, she knew that with her current losses, even if she returned to her clan, she would need to use many treasures and take a long time to recover.
Having seen a True Dragon, everyone grew curious about why Ao Yuxue fell into the Divine Realm and lost her sanity, causing chaos everywhere.
"Ever since I subdued you, I haven't asked you—how did you fall into the Divine Realm, and why did you cause such slaughter?"
Xu Yan asked solemnly.
The calamity of the True Dragon had caused quite a disturbance in the Divine Realm.
Although this was all part of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's conspiracy, Ao Yuxue was also a victim, yet she had indeed caused significant chaos.
Ao Yuxue said angrily, "Isn't it because of you despicable and shameless people, deceiving a young and ignorant me, trapping me in some unknown place, until I felt the aura of the Heavenly Tiger and unconsciously unleashed my Dragon Might."
"The energies of the dragon and tiger interwove, and somehow I fell down here, and that place was strange. I... I don't know, I was influenced."
"In my consciousness, I only had thoughts of killing and causing chaos, nothing else.
"If it wasn't for my subconscious feeling that it is wrong to kill the weak, and coupled with my Dragon Race's character, which granted me some control, I wouldn't have massacred indiscriminately, only targeting warriors above the Immortal Realm..."
The more Ao Yuxue spoke, the angrier and more wronged she felt, "You people, if you want to kill each other, kill each other, but why bring harm to me, and then try to pin the blame on me, it's too much to bully a dragon!"
"Who deceived you? How did they deceive you?"
Xu Yan mused for a moment before asking.
Ao Yuxue caused chaos and slaughter in the Divine Realm, killing many, but indeed she had not targeted warriors below the Immortal Realm; most were collateral damage.
Originally, it was thought that Ao Yuxue targeted only those of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable rank by choice, but it turned out that in her loss of sanity, due to the inherent pride of the True Dragon Clan, she disdained to strike against the weak. Thus, she controlled the extent of her havoc, killing only the strong.
"I left the Dragon Realm to have fun, and I encountered a few people in trouble. They pleaded for my help, and I softened my heart to help them. Who knew they would deceive me into a place I couldn't escape from..."
Ao Yuxue spoke, and could not help but let her Dragon Might ripple out, her anger flushing her face.
Xu Yan suddenly realized and asked, "Those people, were they Immortal Realm Warriors?"
"Yes!"
Ao Yuxue nodded!
This made sense of why Ao Yuxue harbored such a grudge against warriors of the Immortal Realm.
As Ao Yuxue recounted her experiences, Xu Yan and the others roughly understood the process. Ao Yuxue had been trapped for a long time, which wore down her patience and will, making her become irritable.
That place was special, and its atmosphere constantly infiltrated Ao Yuxue's body, coordinating with the collapse of the Dao Domain Ladder to drag down a whole realm from the Dao Domain.
Ao Yuxue, as a young dragon, had not experienced hardships before, and when faced with such a situation, how could she stand it? Naturally, she became ensnared, her will collapsed, and it was easy for her to be influenced and lose her sanity.
Her wariness was also insufficient, as before this incident, Ao Yuxue had been like a dragon in a greenhouse, having not faced malice or grievous harm!
