“Oh? What kind of big gift?” Lin Yun asked, his curiosity piqued.
“We’re almost there, you’ll find out soon. I’ll keep you in suspense for now, but trust me, you’ll be pleased!” Little Green Dragon said with a cheeky grin.
“Pleased, you say?” Lin Yun paused.
Little Green Dragon’s words only heightened Lin Yun’s curiosity. What could it be?
After speaking, Little Green Dragon led Lin Yun swiftly forward, arriving at the entrance of an underwater cave mansion.
“Your Majesty.”
Two massive sea lions guarding the entrance bowed immediately upon seeing Little Green Dragon.
“These are elite members of the Six-Fin Sea Lion Clan, a race fiercely loyal to me,” Little Green Dragon explained.
With that, he led Lin Yun into the underwater cave mansion.
The cave was vast.
Under Little Green Dragon’s guidance, Lin Yun reached a massive altar within the cave.
“Rascal, this is the sacred altar of our West Sea Dragon Clan. See that pool beside it?” Little Green Dragon pointed to a nearby pool.
Lin Yun turned to look. The pool contained a milky-white liquid, steaming with mist, completely distinct from the surrounding seawater.
“Little Green Dragon, what’s this for?” Lin Yun asked, puzzled.
“This is a precious treasure of our West Sea Dragon Clan. The sacred pool water gathers and absorbs the essence of our dragon race. Soaking in it can transform one’s physical body dramatically. Even for true dragons, the effects are profound,” Little Green Dragon said.
“That powerful?” Lin Yun was shocked.
He knew dragon bodies were incredibly robust, far surpassing human physiques. If even dragons benefited greatly, Lin Yun was naturally eager.
“Little Green Dragon, this big gift you mentioned, it’s not… this, is it?” Lin Yun asked, astonished.
“Exactly, this is the gift. You’ve always valued physical enhancement, and this is a rare opportunity to elevate your physical realm,” Little Green Dragon said.
Having adventured with Lin Yun for so long, Little Green Dragon knew his cultivation habits well.
“This is a treasure of your Dragon Clan, incredibly valuable. Is it really okay for me to soak in it?” Lin Yun said with an awkward smile.
“Soaking in the sacred pool requires the Dragon King’s approval, and I’m the Dragon King of the West Sea Dragon Palace. If I approve, there’s no issue. What’s there to worry about? Besides, since when did you, you rascal, become so modest? Turning down a good thing like this? That’s not like you,” Little Green Dragon teased.
“Haha, I had to show a bit of humility, didn’t I?” Lin Yun said with a dry laugh.
Little Green Dragon rolled his eyes. “You rascal, still the same old you.”
“By the way, rascal, what’s your current physical realm? The energy in this sacred pool is extremely volatile. Human bodies generally can’t withstand it. You need a strong enough physical realm to endure it,” Little Green Dragon asked.
Though he knew Lin Yun’s past well, he wasn’t sure of his current strength.
“I’m at the Chaos Body level now. That should be enough, right? The Chaos Body isn’t weak,” Lin Yun said.
“What? You’re… you’ve reached the Chaos Body?” Little Green Dragon exclaimed, stunned.
“Yep, pretty good, huh, Little Green Dragon?” Lin Yun grinned.
“Impressive. Among humans, those who reach the Chaos Body are probably few and far between. To think you achieved it in so few years, you’re truly a monster,” Little Green Dragon said, full of admiration.
“Haha, still a bit behind you,” Lin Yun laughed.
Though Lin Yun was usually modest, being praised felt good.
“In that case, you’re ready to enter the pool,” Little Green Dragon said.
Then, he shifted gears. “By the way, rascal, let’s talk about your cultivation. Are you facing any obstacles? If so, I’ll do my best to help. Our Dragon Clan’s resources are vast, and even just the West Sea Dragon Palace’s reserves surpass your Heavenly God Palace.”
In terms of resources, the Dragon Clan’s deep heritage far outstripped the Heavenly God Palace, which had only existed for tens of thousands of years, while the Dragon Clan’s history was far older.
“In cultivation, I’m currently stuck at the peak of the Third Eternal Realm. I need to break into the Mahayana realm to open a new chapter in my path,” Lin Yun said.
“Breaking into the Mahayana realm is a major bottleneck, rascal. I’m afraid I can’t help much there,” Little Green Dragon said helplessly.
“No worries. I haven’t been cultivating for long, so I’ll take my time to comprehend it. Reaching the Mahayana realm depends mostly on oneself; external aids don’t help much,” Lin Yun said optimistically.
“True, you’re immortal now, with plenty of time,” Little Green Dragon said.
“I do have time. In peaceful times, I wouldn’t rush, but… the demon race is a ticking bomb. If they attack the human race, I won’t have the luxury of slow cultivation,” Lin Yun sighed.
“Oh? Are there signs the demon race is stirring?” Little Green Dragon asked, surprised.
“These past few years, the demon race has been quieter than before, causing no major trouble in human territories. But… I have a hunch they’ll move against us within a thousand years,” Lin Yun said.
Then, Lin Yun looked up at Little Green Dragon.
“Little Green Dragon, this visit… I actually wanted to discuss something with you. I’d like the Dragon Clan to ally with the human race. If the demon race attacks, I hope the Dragon Clan can lend a hand.”
Lin Yun found it hard to bring this up, but he had to.
“Since you’ve asked, I’m all in,” Little Green Dragon said firmly.
Then, he added, “But I only control the West Sea Dragon Palace. Honestly, even if I ordered an alliance with the human race, the dragon elders here would likely oppose it strongly. You know the Dragon Clan has always looked down on associating with humans.”
“I understand it’s not simple, but I want to try my best,” Lin Yun said earnestly.
He knew that even just the West Sea Dragon Palace’s help would be immensely significant for the human race!
