"Resurgence comes in various forms..." Zhou Yuqing corrected the mistake in Liang Yi's statement. "Some may be the complete resurgence you mentioned, like carps transforming into dragons, or pythons and water snakes passing through heavenly tribulations to become dragons, all these can be considered the resurgence of the Dragon Clan. However, these 'Dragons' wishing to become True Dragons face difficulties no less than finding a True Dragon in this epoch."
"Then comes the resurgence of bloodlines, the progeny of Great Demons at the peak of the Eighth Realm or in the Ninth Realm are no longer merely carrying the legacy in their blood, but in time as well, waiting for the day to resurrect within a descendant of the bloodline. As long as time continues, the race isn't considered extinct."
Liang Yi pondered for a moment, thinking of Yue Bai, who stayed in the Ten Thousand Miles Mountain as a disciple to the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits. After Zhou Yuqing's reminder, Yue Bai's Qingqiu bloodline should be just like that.
In the past two epochs, Qingqiu held an esteemed position within the Demon Clan—with each Qingqiu chieftain being a sage among demons, devising strategies for the development of their clan.
Having survived the destruction of two epochs without losing their legacy, Qingqiu was indeed strong.
Liang Yi hadn't heard any news about the revival of a True Dragon. It's estimated that the Azure Dragon Envoy, if he could step into the Ninth Realm one day, might have the chance to transform into a True Dragon. Unfortunately, there are no 'ifs.'
"So if Liu Rouxin could step into the Ninth Realm, her spear, as her Lifebound Magical Treasure, would also elevate to the status of an Immortal Artifact, not inferior to the company of a True Dragon," Zhou Yuqing recalled the shadow of the Blood Dragon she had just seen, whose eyes already flickered with the onset of spiritual wisdom.
"Speaking of Yue Bai, I kind of miss her," Liang Yi thought to himself. He wondered how she was doing under the tutelage of the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, trusting that with a mentor like that, she wouldn't be bullied.
Liang Yi didn't care about Yue Bai's cultivation; he just hoped she could be a bit happier. However, Yue Bai herself took this matter seriously, thinking that one day she could help him and his junior sister.
The image of Yue Bai's pretty little face surfaced in his mind, who, though evidently heartbroken upon leaving, had to feign happiness, her ears twitching non-stop in defiance.
"After things are settled here, I'll take you back to the Ten Thousand Miles Mountain," Liang Yi prodded the dozing Mr. Orange on his shoulder, suddenly saying.
"Go back for what, meow?" Mr. Orange opened his eyes somewhat displeased. The vast world outside was still unexplored, and now they were supposed to return?
"You ungrateful son, don't you think about visiting your father?" Liang Yi chuckled.
"You're the ungrateful one..." Mr. Orange muttered under his breath but did not continue to oppose. Although he knew he wasn't the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits' son, merely another entity reborn to take his place, if the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits himself didn't mind, he had nothing to complain about.
"That settles it!" Having decided this, Liang Yi was clearly in high spirits.
"Gentlemen, this is the accommodation prepared by the elder of the Blood Control Sect. Fairy Su's place is also here. Please rest assured and have a good night," the servant leading the way wasn't a disciple of the Blood Control Sect and didn't share their bad temper, quietly departing after showing Liang Yi and the others to their lodging.
"Let's rest first, then set off tomorrow." Liang Yi stretched, picked up Mr. Orange, nodded to Zhou Yuqing, and walked straight into the courtyard on the left.
While Zhou Yuqing glanced inadvertently at a secluded corner not far away and then stepped directly into the more elegant courtyard on the right.
After the two men and a cat vanished from sight, a wryly smiling elder quietly emerged from the shadowed corner that Zhou Yuqing had previously observed.
"Can't really hide it, can I?" Xue Youqing shook his head, looking at the courtyard where Zhou Yuqing had entered.
The Eighth Realm is the Eighth Realm; even though one has concealed themselves very cautiously, they are still unmistakably seen through.
"Fortunately, the senior did not pursue it..." Xue Youqing inwardly felt some relief, a sigh of ease escaping his heart.
Hiding in the shadows and secretly observing a powerful being, only to be discovered by them, he thought it would be normal for Zhou Yuqing to drag him out for a beating, yet Zhou Yuqing did not pursue the matter at all.
"This mysterious senior of the Eighth Realm first appeared as an elder of the Purple Cloud Sect by Liang Yi's side, but she somehow looked familiar to me." Standing there, Xue Youqing stroked his half-remaining beard, unable to recall where he had seen this supremely powerful female cultivator before.
Logically speaking, such a beautiful and powerful female cultivator should not be an unknown in the Cultivation World, but he truly couldn't remember her, as if there was a layer of fog enveloping her presence.
"Could it be that a Great Cultivator has concealed her identity?" That was the only possibility Xue Youqing could think of, as with his level of cultivation, he should not have any difficulty recalling anyone he had previously met.
"Forget it, as long as it's certain that these few people are not villains of great malice, it's fine." Xue Youqing shook his head in resignation, let out a low sigh, and then disappeared from the spot, leaving only his shadow.
Apart from finding Zhou Yuqing somewhat familiar, his main purpose here was to see what kind of person this era's most astonishing prodigy was, and whether they would harm Liu Rouxin, whom he regarded as his granddaughter.
After observing them, Xue Youqing also concluded that Liang Yi and the others truly treated Liu Rouxin as a friend, not as someone with ulterior motives.
On the other side, Su Youyi had brought the sleeping Liu Rouxin to her room, guided by someone.
"I didn't expect Senior Sister Liu to have such a strong character, while inside, she's actually a cute little girl," exclaimed Su Youyi as she stepped into the room.
The Blood Control Sect disciple who was guiding her didn't even spare a glance before choosing to flee. If the Chief were to find out he let someone into her room without her permission, wouldn't he be skinned alive?
So the Blood Control Sect disciple fled very quickly.
Inside the room, Su Youyi gently laid Liu Rouxin on the bed, then took the opportunity to look around Liu Rouxin's room.
The room was not large, but it looked tidy and somehow had a soft and delicate feel, which seemed at odds with Liu Rouxin's brash personality.
"I thought Senior Sister Liu's room would have a different style..." Su Youyi looked around and, although it seemed different from what she expected, it somehow matched Senior Sister Liu perfectly, as if belonging to someone who understood Senior Sister Liu very well.
In her imagination, Liu Rouxin's room would be more "wild."
"It would be normal for you to find this odd because I am the one who arranged this room." A crisp and pleasant female voice sounded, and the lighting in the room dimmed with the appearance of the voice's owner.
Su Youyi turned around to look; she had seen this person before, it was the form Senior Sister Liu had taken to drink, or more accurately, the inner demon within Senior Sister Liu—Xue Youyou. The source of thɪs content is novel★fire.net
