Lin Diao, Appears!

"Little fellow, now that you are my Disciple Under the Seat, Qing Zhi, let me tell you about my identity. I am the Grand Elder of the True Dragon Tribe of the Demon Domain, and my true form is an Azure Dragon that has already stepped into the Reincarnation Stage."

"This is merely a remnant of my spirit. My true self is still slumbering in a secluded place, having just awakened. When the time is right, I will come to meet you."

High in the sky, Qing Zhi and Lin Dong, master and disciple, sat facing each other on the enormous head of the ten-thousand-foot-long Azure Dragon.

"Teacher, I am currently participating in the disciple selection organized by the Super Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region, this..."

Lin Dong cupped his hands in greeting, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"It's alright. My Azure Dragon Hall and the Four Symbols Xuan Sect Profound Sect are long gone. I have no sectarian bias. Besides, I have other important matters to attend to during this time and will not be able to teach you personally for a long period of time. You can choose a Super Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region to cultivate diligently."

Qing Zhi smiled upon hearing this and waved his hand dismissively.

"Thank you, teacher."

Lin Dong was immediately overjoyed, as the problem of not being able to join the Dao Sect was finally solved.

"Alright, it's getting late, I must formally transmit the true Dharma to you."

Qing Zhi adjusted his posture and said seriously, "All the knowledge I have learned is condensed into the powerful martial art I created, the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, which is a Heavenly Martial Arts."

"If one cultivates it to its Great Achievement, one can even Transform into a Ten Thousand Zhang Azure Dragon like me. However, to take the final step, one must travel to the Ancient Dragon Transformation Pool of my clan and condense a dragon bone with pure bloodline. Let's leave that aside for now."

"In addition, cultivating the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art requires a massive amount of Heavenly Dragon Qi to assist you. Now I will pass on the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art and Heavenly Dragon Qi to you together. If you can cultivate it to the basics first, you will be considered a person of exceptional talent."

After saying that, Qing Zhi gently patted the ten-thousand-foot-long azure Azure Dragon beneath him.

"Roar!!!"

After the ten-thousand-foot-long Azure Dragon roared to the sky, a burst of brilliant azure light suddenly erupted from its body. As the light rapidly writhed, a small Green Dragon the size of a palm darted out from within, heading straight for Lin Dong's chest.

"Boom!"

As soon as the Mini Azure Dragon entered his body, the ancient messages contained within the massive Heavenly Dragon Qi quickly surfaced in Lin Dong's mind.

"Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art!"

Five ancient characters spanned Lin Dong's entire mind, exuding an indescribable majesty that was directly imprinted deep within his soul.

Outside, Lin Dong, enveloped in a dense azure light, sat cross-legged in the void as if blessed with good fortune. Following the route he remembered, he gathered the massive amount of Heavenly Dragon Qi and launched it towards the hidden meridians!

Just as Lin Dong was engrossed in his arduous cultivation, the air rippled slightly, and a slender figure quickly appeared beside him.

"Huh, Demonic Spirit? You're from the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe?"

Qing Zhi looked over and immediately let out a soft laugh.

However, Qing Zhi's heart stirred.

Since this Heavenly Demon Marten was able to hide inside Lin Dong's body without him noticing, it must have been using a mysterious Spatial Spirit Treasure. However, he hadn't been able to detect the existence of that Spirit Treasure just now.

It seems my apprentice is hiding other secrets.

"Yes, Lin Diao greets Lord Qing Zhi."

The Little Marten, now revealed, bowed respectfully, then presented a perfectly round pill, its color a blend of Black and White, and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Lord Qing Zhi, I am Lin Dong's second younger brother. Previously, the Demonic Spirit had been temporarily residing in Lin Dong's body for protection. Now, I have obtained a Life and Death Samsara Pill by chance and intend to use it to rebuild my physical body. I hope that Lord Qing Zhi will lend a hand to protect me later."

Although with the Life and Death Samsara Pill, Little Marten was 80% confident that he could rebuild his physical body, if he could have a top-tier Great Master who had reached the Reincarnation Stage to protect him, then he would be absolutely certain of success.

"Haha, I see. You, Heavenly Demon Marten, are quite clever."

Qing Zhi's mind raced, and he immediately understood Little Marten's plan. Pointing at him, he laughed loudly, "Since you are my disciple's second brother, how about I help you this once?"

"Thank you Lord Qing Zhi!"

The Little Marten immediately beamed with joy, a huge weight lifted from its heart, and swallowed the Life and Death Samsara Pill in one gulp.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the identity of Lin Dong's second brother was so wonderful!

"Boom!"

The moment the elixir entered the body, a massive amount of life and Life and Death energy, alternating between Black and White, surged out, transforming into a giant Black and White Giant Cocoon that enveloped it, seemingly to regenerate a perfect and powerful physical body.

"Well, since you've agreed, I'll give you another ride."

Qing Zhi's eyes flashed, and with a gentle grasp of his long, slender hand, the Black and White Giant Cocoon fell into the Silver Ocean below, hovering quietly in the center of the water.

"Splash!"

As Qing Zhi casually drew a circle in the void with his fingertip, a Ten Thousand Zhang Great Formation suddenly rose into the sky from the Silver Ocean. As the lightning magma writhed wildly, it directly transformed into pure energy and continuously poured into the Black and White Giant Cocoon.

"That should be enough to help him recover some of his strength."

Qing Zhi glanced at the Black and White Giant Cocoon below, then focused all his attention on the thin figure in front of him.

One month later, on a certain day.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Within the Black and White Giant Cocoon that had been quietly drawing upon the power of the lightning plasma, a very clear heartbeat suddenly rang out, and the rhythm became faster and faster.

"Hmm, is that Heavenly Demon Marten about to be born?"

Qing Zhi had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, then opened them.

"Thump thump thump... thump!!! Crack crack! Boom!"

As the awe-inspiring pulsating sound reached an inexplicable peak, the Black and White Giant Cocoon rapidly swelled to nearly ten times its original size before bursting open with a deafening roar.

"Roar!!!"

With a joyful roar, a massive, purplish-black beastly shadow suddenly burst forth, exuding an overwhelming aura of ferocity.

It was an ancient behemoth, hundreds of feet tall, with a body entirely purplish-black. It had a pair of sharp claws that emitted Youyou light, and a pair of extremely wide bat wings that extended from its back, covered with dense purplish-black patterns.

Two enormous bat wings, each a hundred feet in size, flashed and moved, faintly connecting with the terrifying Hurricane Force, creating an extremely oppressive scene.

"Whoosh!"

As its pair of purplish-black bat wings, powerful enough to blot out the sky, fully unfurled, the aura of this peerless ferocious beast rapidly surged, reaching the Three Yuan Nirvana Stage, the Four Yuan Nirvana Stage, the Five Yuan Nirvana Stage...

Finally, the earth-shattering aura that erupted like a long-suppressed volcano swept through the Peak Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage with overwhelming force before reluctantly retreating and settling deep within the body.

"The renowned Heavenly Demon Marten, it has been nearly ten thousand years since I have seen a fully-formed member of the Demon Domain's Overlord Clan. It seems I must take some time to return to the Demon Domain. I wonder how the race has been doing in recent years."

Gazing at the ferocious beast radiating terrifying power in mid-air, Qing Zhi narrowed his eyes and murmured as if reminiscing.
