"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!"
"After I attained Emperor Enlightenment, I searched and deduced countless times, yet I never found any trace of you, Senior..."
"I never expected you to be the legendary Demon Venerable!"
Dragon Maiden respectfully bowed.
Li Ming nodded and accepted her bow.
At his level of strength, no matter how outstanding Dragon Maiden's cultivation talent was, she was merely an inconspicuous little dragon before him.
Dragon Maiden had been able to attain Emperor Enlightenment largely through her own efforts.
He had often kept watch over the peerless prodigies on the Ancient Starry Sky Road.
It could be said that he had witnessed Human Demon Dongfang Taiyi rampage across the Ancient Starry Sky Road, as well as Dragon Maiden's invincible bearing after she entered it.
Dragon Maiden becoming the new generation's Dragon Race empress had somewhat exceeded Li Ming's expectations.
After all, when he had read the original text of Shrouding the Heavens, Dragon Maiden's performance had truly been somewhat unworthy of the title of Myriad Dragon Emperor's daughter.
She had been far too low-profile and had almost never taken part in conflicts.
Yet in the end, her clansmen had still dragged her into the mess.
It was indeed rather regrettable.
The Dragon Race was naturally noble, and their status among the Demon Race was like that of the Human Race's Dao Body.
Many living beings in this world either evolved toward human form or wished to evolve into True Dragons.
A typical example was Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, who had evolved from a Snow Rabbit into a Silver Dragon.
It could be said that he had shattered the shackles of his race, truly transformed into a dragon, and created a miracle.
At least in Li Ming's view, such pioneering achievement was only slightly inferior
