Chapter Summaries

Lin Changqing entered the Mountain Sea Dragon Realm through its golden barrier and discovered that its landscape and creatures were mostly illusions formed from dragon-clan blood energy and lingering obsessions. After meeting a talkative Azure Dragon who knew nothing of the Primordial World, he headed to the Dragon Nest to find its clan leader.
