Chapter 1035: The Time of Achieving Sainthood

“What? Huang Long, you refuse?” As everyone was stunned, the Golden Dragon Saint Lord turned to ask Huang Long, his expression carrying an air of mockery.
Huang Long was taken aback for a moment before bowing and smiling bitterly, “I agree! Thank you, Great Golden Dragon Saint Lord, for your kindness!”
With things having come to this point, how could he possibly refuse?
Moreover, he understood that the Golden Dragon Saint Lord had good intentions—becoming the supreme elder of the Golden Dragon clan would surely make the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Corpse Demon Sect, and the Infinite Gate more cautious when trying to capture him.
“Hahaha, Good!” The Golden Dragon Saint Lord was delighted upon hearing Huang Long’s agreement and laughed heartily.
Long Bin and Long Zhi exchanged a look, looking puzzled—they had not expected Huang Long to become the supreme elder of their clan!
However, everyone was confused by the Golden Dragon Saint Lord’s decision.
After all, Huang Long, a semi-saint—even if he were at the peak of a semi-saint in the later stages of the twelve eras—wasn’t qualified to earn such high regard from the Golden Dragon Saint Lord!
Supreme elder of the Golden Dragon clan?! Not even the Holy Lord of the Torrents, the Lord of the Dark Realm, or the Lords of Sun and Moon had such authority to be personally appointed as supreme elders by the Golden Dragon Saint Lord.
In the end, Gu Han and the others from the Infinite Gate left, filled with confusion and shock, bidding farewell to the Golden Dragon Saint Lord and departing the World of Mighty Dragons.
After they left, the Golden Dragon Saint Lord waved his hands, causing the world to spin. The surroundings changed, and Huang Long and the others found themselves inside the Golden Dragon Hall.
“You all may leave. Huang Long, stay!” the Golden Dragon Saint Lord said to everyone from his throne.
“Yes, as ordered!”
Long Cheng, Long Bin, and other descendants of the Golden Dragon clan, along with the clan’s elders, bowed and left the hall.
“Sit,” the Golden Dragon Saint Lord said, pointing to a chair beside him.
“You’re a disciple of that old man Hong Meng, right?” he asked after Huang Long sat down.
That old man Hong Meng? Huang Long was momentarily stunned before realizing the Golden Dragon Saint Lord meant the Holy King of Hong Meng. With a bitter smile, he nodded, “Yes!”
There was no need to hide it.
But did the Golden Dragon Saint Lord know his teacher, the Holy King of Hong Meng? Huang Long wondered.
“I know what’s on your mind. I indeed know your teacher, the Holy King of Hong Meng!” The Golden Dragon Saint Lord seemed to read Huang Long’s thoughts. He gazed into the distant sky, as if lost in ancient memories, and said slowly, “We met when the three thousand universes first came into existence!”
Huang Long was surprised—so the Golden Dragon Saint Lord and his teacher, the Holy King of Hong Meng, had already known each other since the birth of the three thousand universes?
“Then?” Huang Long opened his mouth to speak.

The Golden Dragon Sacred Lord raised his hand and said, “I know what you want to say. That old man Hongmeng is trapped in the Xuanhuang Great World—it’s part of his fate. It’s the Xuanhuang Sacred Lord who trapped him!”
“Xuanhuang Sacred Lord?!” Huang Long frowned.
The greatest sacred being in the Xuanhuang Great World—the Xuanhuang Sacred Lord!
Initially, Huang Long still held a glimmer of hope, but upon hearing this, his heart sank.
“That Xuanhuang Sacred Lord is extremely powerful, so I too cannot help him escape.” Saying this, the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord looked at Huang Long with deep meaning in his eyes: “From now on, whether your teacher can escape depends on you!”
“Don’t underestimate yourself. Others may not be able to, but you definitely can!” Just as Huang Long was about to speak, the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord interrupted him.
Huang Long’s eyes flickered. Could it be that the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord also knew about his possession of the World Tree?
Because only the World Tree could make the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord so confident that he could rescue the Hongmeng Sacred King in the future!
However, Huang Long soon grew worried—could other sacred beings also know about his possession of the World Tree?
“Don’t worry. Since you possess the World Tree, aside from your teacher, the Hongmeng Sacred King, and me, no one else knows!” The Golden Dragon Sacred Lord said, “As for how the two of us know this, you don’t need to overthink it.”
Huang Long felt relieved.
If the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord said so, then aside from him and the Hongmeng Sacred King, no other sacred beings knew about his possession of the World Tree.
That was good!
Now, Huang Long also understood why the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord wanted him to become the supreme elder of the Golden Dragon clan.
The Hongmeng Sacred King was one reason, his possession of the World Tree and its infinite potential were other reasons, and of course, his true nature as a Golden Dragon was also a factor.
After learning this, Huang Long felt much more at ease.
Afterward, the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord and Huang Long discussed many topics—some related to the Hongmeng Sacred King, some to the World Tree, and some concerning Huang Long himself.
To Huang Long’s surprise, the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord even shared his own cultivation insights with him.
Who was the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord? A saint at the Hunyuan He Dao realm!
His cultivation insights were incredibly valuable!
Filled with gratitude, Huang Long absorbed them carefully, and his realm improved significantly. Throughout his journey, Huang Long had generally relied on devouring others’ life force and primordial energy, as well as the laws of the great path, to enhance his strength, leaving his spiritual realm somewhat unstable. Now, this hidden danger was slowly disappearing.
Inside the Golden Dragon Hall, Huang Long and the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord conversed for thousands of years.
During these thousands of years, news of Huang Long spread widely throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and he became utterly famous.

However, although the story of the Yellow Dragon had spread widely, neither the Heavenly Dao Sect nor the Corpse Demon Sect sent anyone to demand revenge from the Golden Dragon clan in the Mighty Dragon World. The Heavenly Dao Sect, the Corpse Demon Sect, and the Infinite Gate all remained silent. Thousands of years passed before the Yellow Dragon finally emerged from the Golden Dragon Hall. After coming out, he felt as though the dragon energy within him was about to connect with heaven and earth, merging with them completely, giving him the potential to achieve sanctity at any moment! An elder of the Golden Dragon clan, seeing the Yellow Dragon leave the hall, led him to the Yellow Dragon Palace. This palace was naturally built by the Golden Dragon clan for their supreme elder, to serve as his place for cultivation. But just as the Yellow Dragon was about to enter seclusion to practice, Long Cheng, the young clan leader of the Golden Dragons, came to visit. “Supreme Elder!” Long Cheng said after entering the hall, bowing to the Yellow Dragon. Now that the Yellow Dragon’s status had changed, although Long Cheng was the young clan leader, he still had to address him as the Supreme Elder. The Yellow Dragon smiled, told him to stand up, and said, “Young clan leader Long Cheng, you’re too polite. What brings you here?” “Supreme Elder, back in the Ancient Dragon Ruins, I knew you desperately needed the Divine Water of Ten Thousand Nets, so…” Long Cheng said, taking out the blue jade bottle and handing it to the Yellow Dragon. This blue jade bottle was naturally the drop of Divine Water of Ten Thousand Nets bestowed upon him by the former Holy Lord of the Golden Dragons. The Yellow Dragon accepted it and said, “Young clan leader Long Cheng, your generosity is overwhelming. I’ll accept it. In the future, when you have time, you can come to my Yellow Dragon Palace, and we can exchange knowledge about the ways of the Dao together!” Hearing this, Long Cheng was overjoyed and said, “Great! Supreme Elder, I’m extremely delighted!” After chatting for a while, Long Cheng took his leave. After he left, the Yellow Dragon stared at the blue jade bottle in his hand, his eyes burning with excitement. At last, the time had come to slay the three corpses and achieve sanctity!
