Half a month later, Imperial Peak.
Xiao Yun and Di Tian prepared to depart for the True Dragon Nest. Uncle Fu, Lin Xiaoya, and Xi Chunyu came to see them off.
"Young Master, this is a spatial ring. It contains plenty of spirit beast meat, as well as black iron throwing knives and many spirit stones," Uncle Fu said, taking out a spatial ring and handing it to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun nodded, accepted the spatial ring, and thanked Uncle Fu.
Beside him, Lin Xiaoya looked at Xiao Yun with great reluctance. "Senior Brother, you must be careful."
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and patted Lin Xiaoya on the head, his face full of confidence. "You don't trust your senior brother's strength?"
"May Senior Brother Xiao win a resounding victory!" Xi Chunyu offered softly.
Xiao Yun smiled faintly at her, then left Imperial Peak with Di Tian atop the clouds.
At the same time, many people on the various peaks of Chaos Holy Land looked toward Xiao Yun and Di Tian. They seemed to know what Xiao Yun was going to do.
After all, the opening of the True Dragon Nest was a grand event in the cultivation world. Who did not know about it?
"Senior Brother Xiao is going to the True Dragon Nest!"
"For many years, the geniuses we sent to the True Dragon Nest have suffered ambushes from Primordial Sacred Land, resulting in grievous casualties. Senior Brother Xiao may be in trouble this time."
"Hmph, Senior Brother Xiao has already reached the seventh Forbidden Realm and possesses eight hundred thousand jin of strength. He ranks tenth among the strongest Body Refining Realm cultivators in history. He will definitely sweep through the True Dragon Nest."
"Senior Brother Xiao is indeed powerful, but I heard that Primordial Sacred Land has produced a Supreme Body this time, apparently the fourth-ranked Space-Time Body. His strength may well surpass Senior Brother Xiao's."
"I hope Senior Brother Xiao wins a resounding victory this time and upholds the might of our Chaos Holy Land."
Many disciples of Chaos Holy Land were blessing Xiao Yun.
After all, Xiao Yun's trip to the True Dragon Nest represented the honor of their Chaos Holy Land.
If Xiao Yun won, they would share in the glory. If Xiao Yun lost, they would be mocked whenever they went out to train in the future.
Therefore, aside from a couple of idiots, nearly everyone hoped Xiao Yun would win a resounding victory and return laden with glory.
"So many people are watching me!"
In the sky, Xiao Yun and Di Tian stood atop a white cloud. They too could feel the gazes cast up from below, each one filled with intense expectation.
Xiao Yun could not help feeling a trace of pressure. This journey to the True Dragon Nest carried a weighty responsibility.
Di Tian sighed beside him. "Our Chaos Holy Land has lain quiet for too long—so long that cultivators outside have already forgotten that our Chaos Holy Land is one of the Six Great Sacred Lands of Central Land."
Xiao Yun's face filled with confidence at those words. He clenched his fist fiercely, his eyes blazing as he said, "Then this time, let me, Xiao Yun, tell them that our Chaos Holy Land is still the strongest sacred land!"
Di Tian smiled faintly. He was very satisfied with Xiao Yun's confidence. As a peerless prodigy, he ought to possess such confidence.
Only by believing that none could stand against him could he remain invincible. Otherwise, if he did not even have faith in himself, how could he defeat his enemies?
Thus, every invincible genius possessed the conviction: with me here, none can stand against me.
"May your journey be smooth!" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang beside Xiao Yun and Di Tian.
It was the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land.
Xiao Yun and Di Tian hurriedly bowed toward the Holy Lord from afar.
The Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land also smiled and nodded at them.
Xiao Yun could feel the expectation in the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land's eyes. His heart immediately surged with heroic spirit, and he could not help roaring, "Today, I, Xiao Yun, head to the True Dragon Nest! I will surely sweep aside all geniuses and exalt the heavenly might of our Chaos Holy Land!"
His thunderous voice spread throughout the entire Chaos Holy Land.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.
At once, the Holy Lord of Chaos Holy Land and the many Taishang elders all revealed gratified smiles.
The disciples of Chaos Holy Land also felt incomparably stirred, silently offering their blessings for Xiao Yun in their hearts.
Once they left Chaos Holy Land, Di Tian increased his speed and rushed toward the True Dragon Nest.
More than ten days later, the two arrived at the True Dragon Nest.
It was an enormous gorge enclosed by a golden formation barrier. Clouds and mist churned within, spiritual energy steamed upward, and it was impossible to see the scenery inside. One could only vaguely sense waves of vast Dragon Might rolling forth, shaking the soul.
At the entrance outside the gorge stood a huge bluestone platform. Young figures moved through it at this moment, chatting among themselves and talking grandly. It was exceptionally lively.
"Disciple, wait here for the True Dragon Nest to open. Your master will first go meet a few old friends." Di Tian left Xiao Yun behind and departed through the air.
Xiao Yun's sharp eyes immediately spotted a young married woman suddenly appearing atop a white cloud, leaving together with his master.
"There's something going on!" Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Still, he was not too surprised. Di Tian had once been the foremost Holy Son of Chaos Holy Land, enjoying boundless glory. It was perfectly normal for him to have one or two confidantes.
Xiao Yun could only marvel that his master's old blade was still sharp.
"This must be Senior Brother Xiao, I presume?" Just then, a young girl walked over from the side. Blinking her bright, watery eyes, she studied Xiao Yun with a curious expression.
Xiao Yun was startled, then asked doubtfully, "May I ask this young lady's name? Why do you know me?"
The young girl smiled sweetly. "My name is Tang Yunyun, and I am from the Mountains and Rivers Sect. As for why I know you, hehe, that beauty who just left with your master is my master."
After saying that, Tang Yunyun even winked at Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun could not help smiling. So this girl was the disciple of his master's lover. That made her something like his junior sister, after all. Who knew whether this girl's master might one day become his master's wife?
Xiao Yun immediately became more courteous and said with a smile, "So it is Junior Sister Tang. Xiao offers his greetings."
Tang Yunyun looked Xiao Yun over, her eyes brimming with curiosity. Smiling sweetly, she said, "My master often tells me that Senior Di Tian took in an extraordinary disciple this time, one who would surely become famous across the Nine Heavens Continent. Now that I have met Senior Brother Xiao, you truly are remarkable."
"Junior Sister Tang flatters me. I see that your physical body gleams with golden light and is far from ordinary. You must have already stepped into the extreme limit of Body Refining, right?" Xiao Yun and Tang Yunyun exchanged commercial flattery.
But just then, a carriage charged over from the distance, heading directly through the spot where Tang Yunyun stood.
Thus, the coachman driving it immediately shouted at Tang Yunyun, "The Overlord Sect is here! Why haven't you gotten out of the way?"
In the coachman's view, the moment anyone heard the words "Overlord Sect," they ought to obediently make way.
However, Tang Yunyun was not one to swallow humiliation. She snorted coldly, leaped into the air, and chopped down with her palm, killing the fierce horse pulling the carriage in a single blow.
"Ah..." The coachman screamed and crashed hard onto the ground.
The carriage itself, however, flashed with green light and landed steadily on the ground.
Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes. He could sense two powerful auras within the carriage, both stronger than Tang Yunyun. They were likely geniuses who had stepped into the Forbidden Realm. No wonder they dared act so overbearing and tyrannical.
"You... You dare block our Overlord Sect's carriage and even kill our fierce horse? Are you tired of living?" The coachman scrambled to his feet and angrily shouted at Tang Yunyun.
Tang Yunyun snorted coldly. "Your Overlord Sect certainly throws its weight around. You nearly ran someone down, yet you still act so self-righteous?"
The coachman glared furiously at Tang Yunyun.
Just then, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a girl in a dazzling red dress stepped down. She looked coldly at Tang Yunyun and asked, "Did we hit you?"
Tang Yunyun froze, then snorted. "If I were not strong enough, I would have been hit by you already."
"Then that means we did not hit you!" After the girl in red spoke coldly, her body turned into an afterimage, and she vanished from where she stood.
"Not good..." Xiao Yun's expression changed, but by the time he wanted to act, it was already too late.
Slap! A crisp slap rang out. Xiao Yun immediately saw one side of Tang Yunyun's face redden, blood staining the corner of her mouth as she gritted her teeth and glared at the girl in red across from her.
