Dragon Island

Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna traversed the Heavenly River at incredible speed. Along the way, they occasionally encountered Aquatic Clan Cultivator. Within the Heavenly River, Human Clan and Aquatic Clan were in a state of confrontation; therefore, these Aquatic Clan Cultivator were not particularly welcoming of Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna's presence in the Heavenly River depths.

The principle of "might makes right" applies everywhere. Therefore, after two or three hours, Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna arrived at the deepest part of the Heavenly River.

In the distance, one can see an enormous Island suspended above the Heavenly River. Although it is Island, it is only visible from afar. Only when you get closer will you realize that this Island, suspended in the air, is probably thousands of miles in circumference. Such a huge Island can almost be considered a continent of considerable size.

Zhuge Xiang came to Dragon Island in search of a Dragon Fire, so he naturally made no attempt to conceal himself. As he flew over, his aura spread out, quickly attracting the attention of the Dragon Clan on Dragon Island.

A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon flew out from Dragon Island. Its body, a full Hundred Zhang long, stretched across the sky of the Immortal Realm. With its cultivation at the Immortal-Demon level, its power was overwhelming.

Dragons are synonymous with power, whether it be their powerful Divine Sense or their robust physique. If we classify Dragon Clan as demons, there's a common saying: Dragon Clan of the same level are one rank higher than other Demon Race, which aptly illustrates the power of the Dragon Clan.

"Who are you? Why have you come to my Dragon Island?" The Five-Clawed True Dragon stood in front of Zhuge Xiang Mo Lingna Mo Lingna, its huge eyes fixed on them as it asked. Its gaze and tone clearly showed that it was not very welcoming.

It seems that in this Immortal Realm, the grudge between the Dragon Clan and human Cultivator is even greater than in the Cultivation World.

"To the Dragon Clan, I am just an unknown nobody. I came to Dragon Island today to ask for a Dragon Fire," Zhuge Xiang said, looking directly at the Dragon Clan in front of him.

"Dragon Fire? Why should we give it to you?" The Hundred Zhang -long True Dragon stared directly at Zhuge Xiang and spoke.

Although the words were impolite, they made a lot of sense. The Dragon Clan had no connection with Zhuge Xiang, so why would they give him a Dragon Fire? You have to understand, giving away a Dragon Fire isn't just about letting a Fire-Element True Dragon breathe a Flame; it requires the primordial fire of Fire-Element True Dragon.

"I have some connection with the Black Water Profound Dragon. I wonder if it is currently on Dragon Island?" Zhuge Xiang was not surprised by the True Dragon's words, and simply asked the Black Water Profound Dragon.

In the Cultivation World, Zhuge Xiang and the Black Water Profound Dragon have some connection. The Blackwater Xuanlong even left its own physical body to him. Therefore, if he wants to find a Dragon Fire on Dragon Island, the Black Water Profound Dragon's help should make things much easier.

"Black Water Profound Dragon? You know it?" Sure enough, upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, the Five-Clawed True Dragon carefully examined Zhuge Xiang.

When its gaze fell upon the Mysterious Dragon Body wrapped around Zhuge Xiang's waist, its expression changed slightly, and it said, "When the Black Water Profound Dragon ascended, its physical body remained in the Cultivation World. It seems it was left to you?"

"That's right," Zhuge Xiang nodded and said. With the Black Water Profound Dragon's physical body as Evidence, it was enough to explain everything.

"Alright, since you're Black Xuan's friend, then you're also a friend of my Dragon Clan." After confirming Zhuge Xiang's identity, the Five-Clawed True Dragon immediately became enthusiastic and personally led Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna into Dragon Island.

Dragon Clan are like this; they are naturally wary of strangers, but if they consider someone a friend, they will be loyal and devoted. In addition, although Dragon Clan are powerful, their reproductive capacity is very low, so Dragon Clan are relatively harmonious among themselves.

Although the Black Water Profound Dragon only ascended to this world recently, since it is Dragon Clan, the other Dragon Clan on Dragon Island naturally treat it as one of their own.

With the Five-Clawed True Dragon leading the way, Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna entered Dragon Island together. As they flew over, looking around, both Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna were secretly amazed.

True Dragon soared through the sky, none of them weak. The adult Dragon Clan possessed cultivation levels at least at the Demon Monster level, comparable to Void Returning Stage cultivators, while a small number of the most powerful Dragon Clan reached the Immortal-Demon level...

Although Dragon Clan have a low reproductive rate, Dragon Clan strength is undeniable. Adult Dragon Clan possess cultivation levels comparable to Demon Monster. How many races in the Three Realms and Six Paths can possess such talent?

Although Dragon Island floats above the Heavenly River and spans over a thousand miles, for the Dragon Clan who are tens or even Hundred Zhang in size, this Dragon Island is just barely habitable. Finding a suitable place to live on Dragon Island spanning a thousand miles is not an easy task.

"The Dragon Clan truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful race that has existed Ancient Times. As we flew along, I saw seven or eight beings at the Immortal-Demon level," Zhuge Xiang said, following behind the True Dragon, his tone filled with emotion.

"Indeed, although my Dragon Clan is not numerous, its average strength is the strongest compared to other races. Currently, there are 572 Dragon Clan on Dragon Island, and 48 of them, like myself, have reached the Immortal-Demon level. Moreover, the clan leader and the Great Elder are all at the Great Emperor level."

Hearing Zhuge Xiang's emotion, this five-clawed dragon spoke to Zhuge Xiang with pride on his face.

"Five Great Emperor and forty-eight Immortal-Demon level?" Even though Zhuge Xiang was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp when he heard the Five-Clawed True Dragon's words.

It should be noted that in the entire Immortal Realm, there are only a little over a hundred human Cultivator at the Immortal-Demon level, yet the Dragon Clan actually has forty-eight Immortal-Demon level Dragon Clan? This strength is almost a third of the high-end combat power of the Human Clan.

Forty-eight Immortal-Demon level, five Great Emperors, and countless Aquatic Clan Cultivator who depend on the Dragon Clan —the masters of this Heavenly River are entirely the Dragon Clan. No wonder the Immortal Realm stationed 100,000 Water Soldiers here to monitor the Dragon Clan's movements. Otherwise, given the power within the Heavenly River, if it were to become unstable, even the Jade Emperor Great Sage would likely have a major headache.

"Fortunately, the Dragon Clan has a low Dragon Clan rate, with a population of only a little over five hundred. Otherwise, they would be enough to become a dominant force in the Immortal Realm." With a population of only a little over five hundred, they possess such impressive high-end combat power. Zhuge Xiang had to admit that the Dragon Clan race, a top-tier existence among Ancient Divine Beast, is indeed undeniably powerful.

While Zhuge Xiang was talking with the True Dragon, they soon arrived at a lake on Dragon Island. Following behind the True Dragon, Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna landed.

The lake is not small, covering an area of about a thousand acres. However, what is astonishing is that the lake water is as black as ink, so dark that no light can be seen at all. At the same time, a deep and powerful Dragon Qi is mixed in with the dark lake water.

"Splash..." As Zhuge Xiang and the others landed, the once calm Ink Lake rippled with waves. Then, the Black Water Profound Dragon flew out from the pitch-black lake water and transformed into human form in mid-air.

"Zhuge Xiang? You ascended to the Immortal Realm?" The Black Water Profound Dragon was slightly taken aback when its gaze fell on Zhuge Xiang, and exclaimed in surprise.

When I ascended to immortality, Zhuge Xiang's cultivation was far from reaching the Great Accomplishment Stage, wasn't it? How long has it been since then, and he's already ascended to the Immortal Realm? Since when has ascension become such a simple and easy thing?

Startled, the Black Water Profound Dragon quickly realized what was happening and said, "No, your cultivation is only at the Sixth Layer of the Great Accomplishment Stage. You haven't reached the point of ascension yet. You didn't ascend to the Immortal Realm. Besides..."

Moreover, Black Water Profound Dragon didn't finish his sentence, but Zhuge Xiang understood his meaning. Black Water Profound Dragon had said when he ascended that if Zhuge Xiang were to ascend one day, he would go to the Demon Realm or the Asura Path.

"I did not ascend here. I came to the Immortal Realm for a reason," Zhuge Xiang nodded, cutting straight to the point without much formality.

"What can I do for you? If I can help, I certainly won't refuse," Black Water Profound Dragon said, patting his chest after hearing Zhuge Xiang's words.

"I came to the Immortal Realm for two Flame." Since he already needed the Black Water Profound Dragon's help, Zhuge Xiang directly stated his purpose. "I need a Dragon Fire and a Phoenix's Nirvana Fire. Therefore, I came to Dragon Island for the Dragon Fire."

"Dragon Fire? That's easy to say," the Black Water Profound Dragon said, patting his chest as if to guarantee that Zhuge Xiang's request, his face beaming with delight.

"What? You still dare to go looking for Hong Lian? I really admire your courage," Zhuge Xiang thought to himself, secretly moved by Black Water Profound Dragon's confident assurance.

However, the True Dragon beside him had a half-smile on its face as it looked at the Black Water Profound Dragon, its words carrying a hint of mockery.

The teasing and joking manner of the True Dragon made the Black Water Profound Dragon's face slightly embarrassed, but it still managed to explain, "I'm not going this time for my own personal matters, but for my friends, so of course I have to go."

The True Dragon clearly did not believe Black Water Profound Dragon's answer; it merely smiled meaningfully and turned to leave.

"What? Is this matter causing you trouble?" Zhuge Xiang asked the Black Water Profound Dragon after listening to the conversation between the Black Water Profound Dragon and the True Dragon.

"No, how could that be?" Black Water Profound Dragon said urgently, patting his chest to assure Zhuge Xiang and put his mind at ease.

However, the more Blackwater Xuanlong acted this way, the more suspicious Zhuge Xiang became. Judging from Black Water Profound Dragon's expression, it seemed he was afraid Zhuge Xiang wouldn't ask for his help. Was there something Zhuge Xiang didn't know? (To be continued...)
