2083 Seclusion Once More
Su Zimo put away the Divine Dragon Pill. On the other side, Long Li beckoned gently and put away the dragon skeleton in her storage bag.
The moment the dragon skeleton vanished, the space shook violently as well, as though it could collapse at any moment.
Su Zimo and Long Li left hurriedly.
"Brother Mo Ling, I'm leaving,"
In midair, Long Li smiled at Su Zimo. "If you have the chance to visit the Dragon World in the future, remember to come and play with me."
"Alright,"
Su Zimo nodded.
Long Li waved goodbye and withdrew a dark golden spirit vessel from her storage bag, ascending it.
The runes on the spirit vessel intensified and formed a golden barrier that enveloped it to defend against the violent turbulence in the starry skies.
Swoosh!
A streak of light flashed and the spirit vessel vanished.
The reason why Long Li could cross the starry skies was because this Star Vessel could roughly determine the direction and defend against many dangers.
Long Li rode on the Star Vessel and shuttled through the galaxies.
Before long, Long Li seemed to have seen something and stopped the Star Vessel hurriedly.
In the starry skies ahead, a figure stood. It was not tall and had a slender and graceful figure. Compared to the surrounding stars, it was like dust.
However, that figure stood in the starry skies, as though it was stepping on the entire galaxy. The aura it emitted was even denser than the stars!
If anyone were to look over, the first thing they would see would definitely not be the gigantic stars, but that figure!
It was a silver-haired woman. She was not old and wore a long dress that was lined with a silver-white rhombus scale that shone faintly.
The silver-haired woman was extremely beautiful and looked similar to Long Li.
Swoosh!
In a flash, the silver-haired woman appeared in the Star Vessel.
"Mother,"
Long Li averted her eyes and called out softly, not daring to meet the silver-haired woman's gaze.
The silver-haired woman looked at Long Li with a hint of reproach, anger and relief in her eyes.
"I came to the Heavenly World to visit an old friend. Initially, I didn't want to take you along because I was worried that you would be naughty and run around,"
The silver-haired woman reprimanded, "How many times have I told you that it's dangerous outside, especially in another world? Your current cultivation realm is not high enough and you don't have the strength to protect yourself. If living beings of other races see you, will you still be alive?!"
"Mother, I know my mistake now,"
Long Li shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue.
The silver-haired woman heaved a sigh of relief and glared at Long Li, saying angrily, "Thankfully, you returned safely. If anything had happened to you, I would have definitely started a massacre in the Heavenly World!"
"Mother, stop talking about me. Look,"
Long Li took out the gigantic horn from her storage bag. "This is father's belongings and is also an important legacy treasure of our Dragon race. I've found it."
The silver-haired woman's gaze focused as she received the horn and caressed it gently with a conflicted expression.
"I've also brought father's corpse back,"
Long Li continued and her tone turned deeper.
After a long silence, the silver-haired woman pulled Long Li over gently and hugged her. "Good child, I was worried about you earlier on and my tone was a little harsh."
"Mother, you're not angry anymore?"
Long Li blinked.
The silver-haired woman looked at the dragon horn in a daze, as though she recalled something from the past.
"Mother, if you're not angry, I'll tell you everything that happened,"
Long Li recounted her encounter on the Dragon Abyss Star in detail.
Initially, the silver-haired woman did not pay much attention. However, when she heard that Long Li was in danger and was surrounded, her eyes were instantly covered by a layer of frost and killing intent surged!
When she heard that someone had saved Long Li and brought her into that secret space before bidding farewell, the silver-haired woman's expression softened slightly.
"True Dragon Nine Flashes?"
The silver-haired woman frowned.
Long Li nodded repeatedly. "It's absolutely true, I saw it clearly. This brother was only a Grade 4 Earth Immortal. What he used was the True Dragon Nine Flashes!"
"Mother, didn't you say that the True Dragon Nine Flashes is a secret of the Dragon race? Why could Brother Mo Ling cultivate it? Furthermore, he's a human."
The silver-haired woman murmured softly, "Even for the Dragon race, one has to cultivate to become a True Dragon before they are qualified to cultivate it. It's extremely difficult for anyone beneath the True Dragon realm to cultivate this secret skill. That's why this secret skill is called the True Dragon Nine Flashes."
"This is also part of the reason why I've never imparted it to you although I know it."
Long Li was even more puzzled. "That's strange. Even if Brother Mo Ling obtained this secret skill from father, he's only an Earth Immortal and is a human. How did he manage to cultivate it successfully?"
"Could it be…"
The silver-haired woman's heart skipped a beat.
"Mother, what did you think of?"
Long Li asked hurriedly.
The silver-haired woman shook her head gently. "For the Taboo Dragon Phoenix, there's no restriction on the cultivation realm and they can cultivate it at any moment. However, the person you mentioned can't possibly be a Taboo."
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore,"
Long Li smiled. "In any case, Brother Mo Ling is a good person. I snuck out this time round with merely a close shave and even made friends with a big brother of the human race."
"Hmph!"
The silver-haired woman said, "You're truly carefree to be able to smile despite the danger this time round! Once you return, enter seclusion for a thousand years!"
"Mother…!"
Long Li let out a wail.
The silver-haired woman controlled the Star Vessel and transformed into a streak of light, speeding into the distance and disappearing into the vast sea of stars before long.
…
Dragon Abyss Star.
After bidding farewell to Long Li, Su Zimo pondered for a moment and headed in a direction.
Before long, he arrived at a faction.
Snow Wind Ridge.
Back when he first arrived in the upper world, he stayed here for more than a hundred years.
After more than 2,000 years, the power of Snow Wind Ridge had clearly expanded significantly compared to before. Its territory was wider and there were many cultivators. Everything was orderly and flourished.
Su Zimo swept his spirit consciousness and enveloped the entire region of Snow Wind Ridge, sensing a few old friends from the past.
Xia Qingying, Yue Hao, Duan Tianliang, Shen Fei…
In more than 2,000 years, Su Zimo's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
However, on the Dragon Abyss Star, although the cultivation of Xia Qingying and the others improved, they maintained their original cultivation realms.
It was not because they were not talented enough.
Even if there were sufficient cultivation resources on the Dragon Abyss Star, it would take a long time to break through a realm—ten thousand years at the very least.
The difference between them would only increase.
Su Zimo's spirit consciousness was far superior to everyone from Snow Wind Ridge. Even when he scanned this place, he did not attract anyone's attention.
Before leaving, Su Zimo left behind all the Minor Essence Condensation Pills in his storage bag and threw them outside Xia Qingying's secret cultivation chamber. Without appearing, he drifted away.
When he saw that these old friends of the past were fine, he no longer had any attachments in his heart.
Arriving at Dragon Abyss City, Su Zimo entered the teleportation formation and arrived at Solar Luna County.
Thereafter, he traveled day and night continuously before returning to Astral Sect.
He had obtained a large number of Essence Spirit Stones for this revisit and was prepared to continue cultivating in seclusion to advance his cultivation!
