Supreme of the Heavenly Realm

"Running away is running away, it's not going to make much difference."

Ling Qianxue just glanced at the direction where the black-robed man disappeared and didn't pay it much attention.

Even the Spirit Ghost Emperor has fallen, so what threat can a subordinate running away pose?

"Hmm. Let's go."

Ye Xuan nodded. Now that the battle is over and the turmoil has settled, there's no point in staying here.

Others, too, after a moment of lingering fear, whispered among themselves and began to disperse.

Earlier, a batch of people had already left; those remaining were waiting to see the final outcome, otherwise, they would have left sooner.

Ye Xuan and the Dragon Clan group also left this area before the gate.

Outside the Netherworld Ghost Cave.

"This journey was perilous, only thanks to you, Ye Xuan, were we able to avert disaster. This time I owe you a favor. I will do my utmost to secure the opportunity for you at the Ancestor Dragon Pool," Ao Wuxu clasped his fist towards Ye Xuan before leaving, and said.

"Then I thank you."

Ye Xuan expressed his gratitude to Ao Wuxu. He was determined to visit the Ancestor Dragon Pool, but whether he could gain the credentials was another matter. Ao Wuxu's help would undoubtedly be of significant value.

Before heading to Dragon Island, though, he must first heal his injuries.

"Farewell."

After bidding Ye Xuan goodbye, Ao Wuxu swiftly led his group away.

"Let's go too."

Ye Xuan looked at Ling Qianxue. Now he probably needed to recuperate for some time; being twice severely injured by the Spirit Ghost Emperor, even an iron body couldn't withstand it.

This time back, he would have to enter seclusion.

The journey to the Dragon Clan, to enter the Ancestor Dragon Pool, wouldn't be easy.

...

Light City.

Upon returning, Ye Xuan immediately began a period of seclusion, ignoring external affairs.

Now Ling Qianxue had successfully broken through to the Sealing Emperor level, and her power could rival high-level Sealing Emperor Strong People, suddenly elevating Light City to a first-rate force. Other than the so-called Five Great Clans and Three Great Demon Clans, Light City in the Ancient World feared no one.

Moreover, the news that Ling Qianxue killed the Spirit Ghost Emperor had spread, with such power, making most people admire and worship.

After all, high-level Sealing Emperor Strong People were few in the entire Ancient World.

This period was also stable for Light City, even considered a period of growth, with more and more strong people coming to join, rapidly expanding Light City's influence over time.

On a cliff in the back mountain of Light City.

Three months have passed since the journey to the Netherworld Ghost Cave.

A silhouette sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation; it was none other than Ye Xuan.

At this moment, Ye Xuan had fully recovered from his injuries and was now absorbing surrounding nature's spiritual energy with all his might, striving for the Seventh Grade Martial Saint realm.

With his cultivation, reaching this Seventh Grade Martial Saint realm wasn't too difficult, especially since his soul power had already advanced into the God Realm, achieving the Seventh Grade Martial Saint realm was naturally easy.

Exhale...

Minutes later, Ye Xuan slowly exhaled a breath, his aura significantly stronger than when he first came here, having successfully reached the Seventh Grade Martial Saint level.

"Now's the time to head to the Dragon Clan."

Ye Xuan stood up; now healed, it was time for his journey to the Dragon Clan.

Swish!

As soon as he spoke, Ye Xuan vanished from his spot.

"Are you really planning to go to the Dragon Clan alone?"

Outside a great hall, Nangong Yao frowned, looking at Ye Xuan thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, the Dragon Clan is an elite force and wouldn't make any trouble with me. Besides, I could be considered a member without grievances with them, right?" Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Just make sure you take good care of Light City while I'm gone."

"Rest assured, even with Sister Ling in seclusion now, having her here means no one dares target Light City," Nangong Yao said with a smile.

"That's good, once the Dragon Clan matters are settled, I'll return quickly."

Indeed, Ye Xuan didn't worry about Light City, and now there was no reason for him to. Ling Qianxue's strength was greater than his; if even she couldn't solve the problem, his presence wouldn't change much.

After instructing Nangong Yao with some matters, Ye Xuan left Light City.

...

Dragon Island, located in the far eastern region of the Ancient World, features an Endless Sea, within which stands a massive island, known as Dragon Island.

To most, Dragon Island is merely a legend, since no one has ventured there; even those living on the Endless Sea's coast only know of its existence without knowing its exact location.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. Ye Xuan, not your average person, reached Dragon Island's entrance without much difficulty.

At the entrance of Dragon Island, Dragon Clan strong people guard it, and only by declaring one's identity could access be granted.

Those without permission, despite circling for a day, might not find the entrance.

After entering Dragon Island, a vast and boundless wilderness greeted Ye Xuan's eyes, where mountain ranges stretched like giant dragons writhed, ancient forests towered, and age-old massive trees stood like small mountain peaks, their sprawling branches covering nearly a thousand zhang radius, with a dense wild atmosphere permeating the surroundings.

The land echoed with occasional beast roars, filled with wild and untamed ferocity.

This wild land was known as Dragon Domain, one of the few Ancient World places that had remained unchanged since ancient times, teeming with treasures, yet few dared to seek them due to it being Dragon Clan territory.

As one of the three prevailing clans of the Demon Beast World, the Dragon Clan's position in the Ancient World Demon Clan is at the apex, with few in the whole Ancient World daring to stir trouble on their turf.

Buzz.

In the skies above this wild land, the space suddenly twisted, forming a space vortex from which several figures emerged, upon closer inspection, Ye Xuan and others from Light City heading towards Dragon Clan, along with two Dragon Clan guards leading the way.

Though the two locations were considerably distant, Ye Xuan's level made constructing space transport possible, saving immense time and energy.

"Such dense spiritual energy."

Ye Xuan emerged from the space vortex, scanning the land with surprise. The spiritual energy here was evidently several times richer than that of Light City, making cultivation here exceptionally efficient.

No wonder the Dragon Clan has remained standing for thousands, even tens of thousands, of years.
