Chapter 1903 Activating the Barrier

Back then, the dragon race was the darlings of the heavens, possessing top-tier luck, talent, and strength in the cultivation world.

Newborn dragon cubs possess strength comparable to Golden Core cultivators, and this advantage gradually corrupts their minds, causing their ambitions to grow ever larger.

They attempted to rule the entire cultivation world and trample other races underfoot, which ultimately triggered a joint attack by the three races.

Now that the dragon race has fallen on hard times, the other three races will naturally not let go of this opportunity for revenge. The so-called "beating a drowning dog" is nothing more than karmic retribution.

"Since you can't open the entrance to the Dragon Realm either, then haven't we made a wasted trip?"

Situ Haokong's voice broke the silence, his tone full of displeasure.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have come. He not only suffered a lot of humiliation, but also wasted his precious time.

He actually kept several dragons in Nine Dragon Valley, but since Lin Jichen didn't mention it, he naturally wouldn't expose them. If Ao Qinhan held a grudge or Lin Jichen coveted them, it would be a loss.

"Who says we can't open it?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Yincai smiled confidently, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Otherwise, what do you think I and Fellow Daoist Lin came here for?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and a pet pouch embroidered with colorful auspicious clouds flew into the sky.

The bag slowly opened, and a blue figure flew out.

Accompanied by a clear dragon's roar, a young dragon with a wingspan of over ten feet circled in the sky before landing steadily at Wan Yincai's feet. It affectionately nuzzled its head against her skirt, its eyes full of flattery.

"Yinglong! You actually have an Yinglong as a pet?"

Situ Haokong's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

It should be understood that dragons are inherently rebellious; once they develop self-awareness, they would never submit to humans and become pets.

To make a dragon a pet, a blood pact must be signed before it hatches, which is extremely difficult.

Moreover, Yinglong is one of the four orthodox dragon clans, and it lives in the dragon realm year-round, making it extremely difficult to find.

Even their Nine Dragon Valley spent hundreds of years of effort and sacrificed countless disciples and elders to finally obtain three Yinglong eggs, and only one has hatched so far.

Why can't I have it?

Wan Yincai proudly raised her chin, reached out and stroked the head of the Yinglong cub, and said softly, "This is a gift that Fellow Daoist Lin gave me back then. It's no use if you're envious."

Lin Jichen looked at the Yinglong cub with approval in his eyes: "It's only been a little over a year, and it has already cultivated to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. It seems that you have indeed put a lot of effort into cultivating it."

"Of course, I will take extra care of the things you give me."

Wan Yincai smiled gently, her eyes filled with tenderness. The Yinglong cub seemed to understand their conversation, chirping excitedly and flapping its wings, creating a gentle breeze.

Si Tu Haokong, who was standing next to him, felt a mix of emotions and his eyes turned red with jealousy.

In their Nine Dragon Valley, they only obtained three dragon eggs every few hundred years, while Wan Yincai easily obtained an Yinglong egg just by going out with Lin Jichen. The difference is too great!

What frustrated him even more was that Lin Jichen had given him the Yinglong egg on his own initiative. What kind of relationship could be so good?

Let alone ordinary friends, even parents probably wouldn't be this generous.

He couldn't help but think of Dongfang Ji of the Heavenly Demon Sect. That old fox had relied on his daughter, Dongfang Yu, to establish a relationship with Lin Jichen. Today, the Heavenly Demon Sect had already become the number one demon sect in the cultivation world, and its power was growing stronger day by day.

However, his Nine Dragons Valley gradually declined after Situ Zhao's death.

Situ Haokong felt increasingly regretful as he thought about it, inwardly cursing himself for not having considered taking in a stunningly beautiful woman as his daughter.

If they had a daughter like Dongfang Yu, perhaps Nine Dragons Valley could have benefited from Lin Jichen's influence and wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

"Hmph! So what if there's an Yinglong? Does the entrance to the Dragon Realm mean that a mere Nascent Soul stage dragon can open it?"

Situ Haokong suppressed his jealousy and stubbornly retorted.

He simply couldn't believe that something he had tried so hard to accomplish would be so easily solved by Wan Yincai.

Wan Yincai wasn't annoyed. She just smiled and patted the Yinglong cub's head, saying softly, "Little guy, let them see what you're capable of."

The Yinglong cub seemed to understand her words, raised its head and let out a clear dragon roar, then spread its wings and flew towards the entrance to the Dragon Realm.

It flew to the entrance hidden in the clouds and breathed out a pale blue dragon aura. The aura landed on the light screen at the entrance, instantly creating ripples.

Everyone saw that the originally tightly closed entrance to the Dragon Realm slowly opened a crack.

A rich dragon aura emanated from the cracks, along with waves of ancient and majestic energy.

The problem is that the gap is so small that it cannot form an entrance or exit.

The little Yinglong looked exhausted. It wanted to show off in front of its master, but the gap not only didn't get bigger, it closed and disappeared again.

This put Wan Yincai in an awkward position.

He had just shown off his skills, but he was proven wrong the next second.

Fortunately, Lin Jichen helped her out of the awkward situation.

"Senior Ao told me that although orthodox dragons can come and go freely, there is one condition that must be met: at least two dragons must be traveling together."

"That's right, hehehe, young friend Lin, it's up to you now."

Ao Qinhan chuckled and said that he had known for a long time that Lin Jichen was protected by the Holy Dragon Clan princess. The reason he asked was to inquire whether there was a second legitimate dragon.

Lin Jichen smiled upon hearing this, stretched out his palm, and said, "Don't sleep, little one, come out and move around."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small, pure white snake-like creature lazily crawled out of Lin Jichen's sleeve and quickly came to his palm, its big, bright eyes blinking.

Situ Haokong's eyes were glued to him after just one glance, and he could even hear him inhaling.

"This is...this is..."

He stared wide-eyed at the 'little snake' in Lin Jichen's hand, his breathing becoming rapid.

Wan Yincai, standing to the side, remained calm and remarked with a smile, "How come this little guy hasn't changed at all in so long? He's still so small."

"She loves to curl up to this size and has gotten used to sleeping in my sleeve."

Lin Jichen said with a smile.

Ao Qinhan looked intently at the little guy and exclaimed, "Peak of the Nascent Soul stage, not bad, not bad. You've trained him very well. At this stage, the Holy Dragon is probably already capable of facing enemies at the Enlightenment Realm on its own."

“Indeed, unless one is a very strong cultivator who has attained enlightenment, few can match her.” Lin Jichen was not exaggerating when he said this.

Ao Chi's growth attributes are ridiculously high. She can master all the unique skills and talents of the dragon race. When she reaches the Feather Transformation Realm, her strength will probably not be inferior to that of the Holy Dragon King of yesteryear.
