“Little Green Dragon, he’s not joking with you.”
A familiar voice came from outside the hall, and Lin Yun, with a smile, slowly walked in.
“You rascal, it… it’s really you!” Little Green Dragon was stunned upon seeing Lin Yun.
“Nonsense, could I be a fake?” Lin Yun grinned, quickly walking towards Little Green Dragon.
Little Green Dragon hurriedly waved his hand, “Everyone, leave.”
“Yes!”
Everyone in the hall promptly departed.
Little Green Dragon rushed to meet Lin Yun, giving him a big bear hug.
“Haha, I really didn’t expect this. You’ve only been gone a few hundred years, and you’re back already. I thought it would be tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years before I saw you again.” Little Green Dragon patted Lin Yun’s back repeatedly, clearly excited.
“You know, with the threat of the Dark Demon Clan, I had to find a way to come back.” Lin Yun said.
“Oh? Are you preparing to take on the Dark Demon Clan? When do we move? I’ll immediately gather the Dragon Clan to follow you into battle!” Little Green Dragon said firmly.
“No need. Before coming here, I already broke the barrier and dealt with the Dark Demon Clan’s army and the Demon Emperor.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Oh? So fast? You’ve already taken care of it?” Little Green Dragon was astonished.
“Of course. I’ve now reached the Tongtian Realm. Dealing with the Dark Demon Clan was a piece of cake.” Lin Yun said with a smile on his face.
Lin Yun continued, “You’re probably wondering what the Tongtian Realm is, right? It’s the major realm above the Saint Realm.”
“Haha, you’re too incredible! In just a few hundred years, you’ve broken through two major realms. That’s amazing!” Little Green Dragon praised repeatedly.
“You’re now the mighty Dragon Emperor, yet you still act so carefree, without a shred of imperial dignity.” Lin Yun rolled his eyes.
“Haha, I only let my true self out in front of you. You’re my brother, so it’s different.” Little Green Dragon laughed.
He continued, “In this world, the Saint Realm is basically the limit, and even reaching that is extremely difficult. But you went to the Ancestral Land and broke through two major realms so quickly. That must be a fascinating world, right?”
“Yes, it’s a world where opportunities and dangers coexist, but for me, it’s very challenging.” Lin Yun nodded.
“What a pity I can’t go. Otherwise, I’d love to explore the Ancestral Land with you.” Little Green Dragon sighed.
“There are many races there, but I’m not aware of any Dragon Clan. Even if you could go, I’d worry that human experts might target you and treat you as a test subject.” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun smiled, “But this time, I brought back resources from the Ancestral Land for you. Since there’s no epochal destruction there, it produces a wide variety of heavenly treasures.”
With that, Lin Yun flipped his hand and took out a Great Luo Heavenly Ginseng.
“This is a Great Luo Heavenly Ginseng. Using it can enhance your bloodline and physique, which might be helpful for you.” Lin Yun handed the ginseng to Little Green Dragon.
“You rascal, not bad! You even brought me a gift.” Little Green Dragon beamed, feeling warmed by the gesture.
“Also, this storage ring contains ten million Haoyue Crystals. Absorb them slowly and see if, with their help, you can further advance your strength.” Lin Yun took out a storage ring and handed it to Little Green Dragon.
“You managed to bring back so many Haoyue Crystals!” Little Green Dragon was shocked by the number.
“I spent too many Haoyue Crystals to return this time. Otherwise, I could have brought back even more.” Lin Yun said.
“These things are secondary. Seeing you again is more important than anything. This time, you have to stay with me for a few months, or I won’t let you leave.” Little Green Dragon firmly grasped Lin Yun’s shoulders.
“Alright, alright, you call the shots.” Lin Yun laughed.
…
Lin Yun stayed with the Dragon Clan for three months. Little Green Dragon took him to explore many places in the Endless Sea.
Most of the time, Lin Yun recounted his experiences in the Ancestral Land and everything that happened after arriving there.
Three months later.
Outside the Dragon Emperor Palace.
“Little Green Dragon, this is far enough.” Lin Yun turned to look at him.
“You rascal, you’re now a Death Servant, bound by your duties. You’ll likely face many challenges in the future, and I can’t help you. But no matter what, never give up!” Little Green Dragon, usually carefree, was unusually serious.
During this time, he had learned about Lin Yun’s experiences in the Ancestral Land, including his binding as a Death Servant and the possibility that the Heavenly Fire Temple was an evil force.
Unless Lin Yun chose to follow the Heavenly Fire Temple unquestioningly, even if it meant doing wrong, he would be safe.
But Little Green Dragon knew that wasn’t likely. If Lin Yun was forced to do something against his conscience, he wouldn’t comply.
In such a case, his Death Servant identity could cause him immense trouble, possibly even leading to his downfall.
“For now, I can only take things one step at a time.” Lin Yun sighed.
“You rascal, you must survive! I’ll wait for your return!” Little Green Dragon said earnestly.
…
After parting with Little Green Dragon, Lin Yun returned to the Huoyun Empire and went home.
For the next period, Lin Yun planned to stay home and spend time with his loved ones.
Although he had spent a long time with them before going to the Ancestral Land, this was a rare return.
Having faced immense pressure over the centuries in the Ancestral Land, only at home could Lin Yun let go of all his burdens.
This sense of home was something he couldn’t find in the Ancestral Land.
Lin Yun stayed home and didn’t immediately return to the Ancestral Land for another reason: the barrier to the Dark Demon Clan hadn’t yet reformed, and he needed to wait.
…
Two and a half years later.
Great news arrived: Emperor Huoyun had reached the Saint Realm!
Emperor Huoyun first shared the news with Lin Yun, then informed Deputy Palace Master Yao.
Deputy Palace Master Yao immediately used the communication bracelet to notify all the immortals!
“What? Huoyun has reached the Saint Realm?”
“It’s only been a few hundred years since Palace Master Mo reached the Saint Realm, and now our human race has produced a second Saint Realm?”
“I never expected the next to reach the Saint Realm would be His Majesty Huoyun!”
…
When the news broke, the communication bracelet exploded with reactions.
Normally, after one human reached the Saint Realm, it would take an extremely long time for another to emerge!
No one had expected Emperor Huoyun to achieve this so quickly, especially since Deputy Palace Master Yao and Rong Zhen were ahead of him.
In everyone’s eyes, if anyone was likely to reach the Saint Realm next, it definitely wouldn’t have been Emperor Huoyun!
The birth of a new Saint Realm was, of course, of extraordinary significance to the human race!
