Fang Yang rarely moved about in the world, and this was his first time experiencing such a feeling.
He circulated his magic power, secretly deducing, attempting to calculate the specific opportunity. However, opportunity was something profound and mysterious, only to be understood, not explained.
His deductions yielded no results.
"Since I can't deduce it, I'll go with the flow!"
Opportunity, opportunity, the key word is "fate." One cannot force it before seeing it. Fang Yang continued on his journey, divine light flashing beneath his feet as he sped towards the Great Desolation Continent.
Mountains look close but are far away; Fang Yang could clearly see the coastline, yet a day passed, and the coastline remained just as long.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar and the sound of waves entered Fang Yang's divine sense.
Fang Yang looked ahead and saw a huge wave suddenly surge in the sea before him. Amidst the towering waves, a hundred-meter-long green dragon was playing with the clouds and rain, controlling the seawater, and ferociously attacking a little girl.
The little girl was wearing a crimson Immortal Robe, which wrapped her completely, blocking all the green dragon's attacks from the outside.
"Wuwuwu, I just came to play by the sea, and you came to tease me. You couldn't tease me, so you killed Sister Hongluan and wanted to kill me too. Your Dragon Clan is so overbearing..."
The little girl was only three years old. Without the protection of the Immortal Robe, she would have died long ago. But even so, the power of the Immortal Robe was weakening, and it looked like it couldn't hold on much longer.
The hundred-meter-long green dragon roared again and again, its dragon eyes filled with even greater excitement, as if it enjoyed the feeling of controlling another's life.
"Human Race Child, how dare you toy with This Crown Prince? Today, I will give you a lesson you'll never forget!"
Fang Yang frowned slightly. He could tell that the little girl was from the Human Race. Since she was human, he decided to save her.
When it was within his power, why not save a life?
As a dignified Disciple of the Sect of Interception, he was not afraid of encountering overbearing parents. If he truly encountered them, he wouldn't mind eliminating demons and upholding righteousness.
Boom!
Fang Yang raised his hand, and instantly, rolling thunderclouds gathered above his head. He reached out and grabbed, and lightning from the nine heavens converged, forming a lightning whip as thick as a bucket.
Sensing the change in his surroundings, the little green dragon suddenly looked up. With just one glance, his pupils contracted. He saw a dragon made of lightning pouncing towards him.
The little green dragon could no longer bother teasing the little girl. He quickly let her go and attempted to confront the lightning dragon. However, the lightning was too fast. Before he could react, he was tightly bound by the lightning dragon.
Sizzle sizzle!
Countless divine thunders exploded within the little green dragon, scorching its dragon scales until they were charred. The flesh and blood inside were blown to pieces.
Finally, the little green dragon closed its eyes and fainted.
Fang Yang's attack was extremely heavy. Under the Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder, the little green dragon's foundation was damaged. Even if he could recover from his injuries, his cultivation would be difficult to improve.
If it were an ordinary child today, they might have already died and wouldn't have lasted until he appeared. Although, considering the growth rate of the Dragon Clan, the Little Green Dragon was still just a young dragon, Fang Yang didn't care about that.
While Fang Yang was dealing with the Little Green Dragon, he didn't forget to rescue the little girl. He lifted his left palm, and a large sheet of seawater solidified into a giant hand, lifting the little girl out of the water.
The little girl, having narrowly escaped death and returned to safety, came to her senses and immediately burst into tears.
Fang Yang wasn't very good at comforting children. He stood by the entire time, quietly watching the little girl cry. After only crying a few times, the little girl managed to compose herself and stopped crying.
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life."
The little girl wiped away her tears and bowed respectfully to Fang Yang. Despite her young age, she was surprisingly sensible. Without waiting for Fang Yang to ask, she introduced herself.
"My name is Nuwa. My father is the Co-lord of the Human Race, Emperor Shennong. While my father was discussing flood control plans for the Yellow River with the River God Feng Yi, I got bored and secretly ran to the seaside to play. Who knew I'd encounter this Demon Dragon. He first toyed with me using magic, and when I resisted, he became enraged and tried to kill me. If Sister Hongluan hadn't sacrificed herself to protect me, I would have been killed by him long ago."
It was hard to believe that a three-year-old girl could recount the whole story so clearly. Fang Yang then realized that he had accidentally saved the Princess of the Human Race.
He was an Outsider, and the Human Emperor, so the princess was nothing to him.
However, Emperor Shennong worked tirelessly for the people of the Human Race, even risking his own life to taste all kinds of herbs. Saving Emperor Shennong's daughter could be considered preventing a tragedy.
"Little Princess, your guards are dead. I will send you back to the Yellow River Dragon Palace now."
Fang Yang had no interest in babysitting others, even if this child was the princess of the Human Race. He just wanted to claim his breakthrough reward and await Tongtian's sermon.
"Immortal Master, I don't want to go to the Yellow River Dragon Palace. I want to stay here and find Sister Hongluan's soul."
Nuwa's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. Her guards had died protecting her, and she just wanted to find their souls and help them pass on.
However, Fang Yang had already seen that there were no traces of souls in this sea area. Before he arrived, Fairy Hongluan's soul had likely been captured by a Ghost Messenger.
He didn't intend to heed Nuwa's wishes and prepared to take her directly to the Yellow River Dragon Palace. Just then, a faint pressure descended.
Immediately after, a figure appeared in the void.
It was a man wearing a fiery red imperial robe, a Great Sun Flat Sky Crown on his head, and a stern expression. Royal aura surrounded him, with only his eyes conveying a sense of benevolence.
"Child, you've caused too much trouble this time. You left my side without permission, nearly got into danger yourself, and even implicated your guards."
The moment Emperor Shennong saw Nuwa, his gaze became stern.
Upon seeing her Imperial Father, Nuwa immediately ran over and stood beside Emperor Shennong.
"Imperial Father, this Demon Dragon wanted to kill me."
After the father and daughter finished their conversation, Fang Yang cupped his hands towards Emperor Shennong. "Fang Yang, a disciple of the Sect of Interception, pays his respects to the Human Emperor."
"Among your esteemed sect, many Fellow Daoists preach to my Human Race. You saved my daughter this time, and this Emperor is immensely grateful. Are you of the Human Race?"
Emperor Shennong saw through Fang Yang's origins at a glance and then smiled. "Our Human Race has gained another being who has achieved the Dao and eternal life. Your foundation is stable, and your magic power is immense. You are a Postnatal Human Race, and to reach this realm is all thanks to your extraordinary comprehension."
"However, if Fellow Daoist continues to cultivate, you will be bound by your innate foundation. This Emperor has a Creation Mending Pill bestowed by the Holy Mother, which can improve a cultivator's bone structure. This Emperor will give it to Fellow Daoist to repay the life-saving kindness Fellow Daoist showed my little daughter."
As soon as Emperor Shennong finished speaking, a pill sealed in colorful crystal appeared before Fang Yang.
This pill was like a lychee, pure white jade all over, with innate runes flowing on its surface, constantly absorbing the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth. Just by looking at its appearance, one could tell this pill was extraordinary.
Fang Yang originally intended to decline, as this pill was too precious. But when he looked up, the sea was empty, with only one person left.
It turned out that after giving the Creation Mending Pill, Emperor Shennong had already left with Nuwa and Little Green Dragon.
