Chapter 0319: The Ancient Great Formation
After Huang Long rode the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx to this small mountain peak, a flash of light surrounded them, parting the soil waves as they descended deep into the abyss.
It wasn’t long before Huang Long arrived in this alternate space.
“What pure dragon energy.” Upon entering this space, Huang Long sensed a strong presence of pure dragon energy filling it.
“Master, if this alternate space was left behind by that Ancient Dragon God from the Primordial Era, does that mean it has existed for at least a dozeneon?!”, exclaimed the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx.
The Primordial Era spanned from ten to thirtyeon, with oneeon equaling sixty trillion years. Thus, this alternate space was at least sixty trillion years old, demonstrating the terrifying power of that Ancient Dragon God. The stronger one’s power, the more stable and enduring the alternate space they created.
Huang Long nodded.
From Ether’s mental records, this Ancient Dragon God was indeed an unparalleled warrior back then.
However, aside from the pure dragon energy filling the space, this alternate space seemed empty at first glance. Huang Long then deployed his divine senses and Heavenly Vision. Soon, guided by him, the two rushed into a cave. The Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx stared in awe at a half-meter-sized blood crystal floating mid-air in the cave, emitting a faint crystalline glow. “Master, is this the Dragon Blood Crystal?!” It searched around, but found nothing.
Huang Long smiled. “Exactly.” With a gesture of his hands, he seized the Dragon Blood Crystal, which felt warm in his grasp.
“That Ancient Dragon God is too stingy. He created such a huge alternate space but only left behind this tiny Dragon Blood Crystal?!” The Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx was frustrated.
Huang Long patted it and smiled helplessly. “Stingy? For the direct descendants of the Luning family, this Dragon Blood Crystal is no less valuable than you.” Indeed, for those with dragon blood in the Luning family, its value was comparable to that of the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx, a Chaos Primal Beast.
With the Dragon Blood Crystal obtained, there was nothing else in the alternate space. Huang Long then took the Wind-Flame Dragon Lynx back to Taiyi Peak.
Upon returning, Bogge and the others were already waiting there.
“Young Master!”
“Master!”
Seeing Huang Long return, Bogge and the others stepped forward, greeting him respectfully.
Huang Long nodded, then turned to Blanche and Ether. By then, they had regained consciousness, only to discover in horror that they could no longer use their divine essences—effectively paralyzed!
“I have sealed your divine essences and powers,” Huang Long revealed, addressing their shock and confusion.
“What?! The divine essence and powers have been sealed?!” Blanche and Ether were shocked as they stared at the Yellow Dragon; it was the first time they had heard of such a thing.
“Let’s go. Take them to the Four Seas Dragon Palace,” said the Yellow Dragon, then mounted the Wind-Flame Dragon and took off.
“Yes, master!” Bog and the others replied, lifting the two women and following the Yellow Dragon toward Taiyi Peak.
What?! When they arrived at Taiyi Peak and saw the palace complex, especially the floating Four Seas Dragon Palace, the two women’s expressions of shock were almost identical to Li Yifeng’s back then.
“Do you know Angus?” asked the Yellow Dragon, sitting atop the Four Seas Dragon Palace, looking at Ether.
At that moment, Ether and Blanche still hadn’t recovered from everything they had seen since entering Taiyi Peak. Hearing the Yellow Dragon’s question, they were stunned: “Angus?!”
The Yellow Dragon nodded.
“Do, do you know my brother Angus?!” Ether asked in surprise, while Blanche also stared at the Yellow Dragon intently.
Angus was Ether’s cousin.
“Sort of,” replied the Yellow Dragon. Back on the Hengyuan Continent, if it weren’t for obtaining Angus’s Dragon God Body, the Group of Immortals Pavilion wouldn’t have been able to evolve into an immortal artifact. Earlier, the Yellow Dragon had searched through Ether’s memories and learned about her and Angus’s identities, which was why his attitude toward them had changed.
“Really? You actually know Angus’s brother!” Ether was overjoyed, while Blanche also looked at the Yellow Dragon with hope.
The Yellow Dragon didn’t answer them. Instead, he waved his hands, and a beam of golden light entered their bodies. Instantly, they felt their divine essences regain freedom and were overjoyed.
“Who are you? How do you know Angus’s brother?! Tens of thousands of years ago, Angus’s brother died during a mission in a mortal realm called the Hengyuan Dimension,” Ether said in disbelief, recalling that Angus had never mentioned this “friend” to her.
“Master, Lord Li Yifeng has arrived!” At that moment, Hibei came in from outside the palace and bowed respectfully.
“Oh, Li Yifeng has come?” The Yellow Dragon was surprised. He immediately used his divine sense and detected Li Yifeng in the sky above Taiyi Peak.
“Haha, Brother Yellow Dragon, I’m here again!” Li Yifeng’s cheerful voice rang out.
Back then, Li Yifeng had said he wanted to live in the Giant Dragon Mountains, and the Yellow Dragon had welcomed him. But eight hundred years passed without any sign of him, and now he had appeared!
The Yellow Dragon vanished in a flash, disappearing from the Four Seas Dragon Palace.
Above the Dragon Palace in the Four Seas, Blanche and Eithel were struck like by lightning, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
“Sis, what did he say?!” Blanche asked in a dazed voice.
“He said, ‘Brother Yellow Dragon, I’m back!’” Eithel exclaimed in shock.
“Yellow Dragon… him… is he really Yellow Dragon?!” After a while, Blanche slowly spoke, her expression complex and full of disbelief.
Could this dark-haired youth really be the Yellow Dragon who had broken Lord Marshall’s record?!
Blanche and Eithel felt their chests constrict and found it hard to breathe. However, with so many people sharing the same name in the Netherworld, they couldn’t be sure yet if this Yellow Dragon was indeed the one they were looking for.
As they were still in shock, soon a hearty laugh rang out. They saw that “Yellow Dragon” had returned, accompanied by a dark-haired youth.
When Li Yifeng saw the two women in the hall, he was momentarily stunned before smiling and saying to Yellow Dragon, “Brother Yellow Dragon, I didn’t expect that after hundreds of years apart, you’ve learned to enjoy life too. Are these your sisters-in-law?”
Blanche and Eithel were stunned, then their faces turned red with embarrassment as they glared at Li Yifeng in anger.
“Hey, what did you say? What sisters-in-law?!” Blanche blurted out angrily, her face turning even redder at the mention of sisters-in-law.
Yellow Dragon smiled at Li Yifeng and said, “Enough, stop joking!” Then he invited Li Yifeng to sit inside the hall.
Blanche and the other woman shot Li Yifeng a glare.
Li Yifeng seemed unconcerned.
“Brother Yellow Dragon, you’ve seemed to be living comfortably in the Giant Dragon Mountains these eight hundred years. But I heard that Marshall has been searching everywhere for you, even going into ice caves. Saint Wen from the Saint Wen Mansion is also desperately trying to find you,” Li Yifeng said after sitting down.
At that moment, Blanche and Eithel’s eyes widened and their mouths gaped open.
Marshall? Saint Wen, the head of the Saint Wen Mansion?!
The two women stared at Yellow Dragon in shock.
“Are… are you really that Yellow Dragon?!” Blanche finally managed to ask after a while.
“What, that Yellow Dragon? Are there many Yellow Dragons in the Netherworld? Brother Yellow Dragon, who are these two?” Li Yifeng asked, puzzled by the women’s identities. From their appearance, it seemed they didn’t know who Yellow Dragon was, but how did they end up here?
Yellow Dragon briefly explained the situation to Li Yifeng.
“What?! She wants you, Brother Yellow Dragon, to be her subordinate?!” Li Yifeng was astonished, then burst into laughter. This woman really had good taste.
Li Yifeng’s laughter was harsh. Blanche and Ether turned red with shame, wishing they could burrow into some hole. Yet at the same time, many thoughts flashed through their minds—how could the Yellow Dragon, whom almost all major and minor forces in the Netherworld were searching for, be hiding in these Dragon Mountain Ranges?!
The Yellow Dragon gave the two women a meaningful look before waving at Li Yifeng and saying jokingly, “Do you plan to settle here in the Dragon Mountain Ranges too this time?”
Li Yifeng smiled and replied, “I do, but not yet. I’ve come here to ask Brother Yellow Dragon for a favor.”
“Oh, what is it?” The Yellow Dragon asked with a smile, not surprised.
Li Yifeng shook his head and smiled. “It seems nothing can escape Brother Yellow Dragon’s notice.” He then glanced at the two women. The Yellow Dragon signaled to Bog, who took the two women away to arrange further matters.
“After leaving the Dragon Mountain Ranges last time, I went to the Cloud Sea,” Li Yifeng said after the two women left. “By chance, I arrived at a small canyon, and to my surprise, there was a large formation inside!”
“A large formation?” The Yellow Dragon looked at Li Yifeng.
“Yes. That formation wasn’t simple at all. Even with all my strength, I couldn’t break it!” Li Yifeng looked serious.
“All your strength?” The Yellow Dragon frowned. Li Yifeng had chaotic energy within him, yet he hadn’t used it at full capacity when killing that Ten-Winged Angel Limo. Now he couldn’t break a large formation?
“I suspect it’s an Ancient Formation,” Li Yifeng said slowly. “It might even be one of the Primordial Formations!”
“Primordial Formations…” The Yellow Dragon was stunned.
“With no other choice, I thought of Brother Yellow Dragon’s expertise in formations, so I came to ask for your help,” Li Yifeng said helplessly.
“How long is it from here to the Cloud Sea?” the Yellow Dragon asked.
Li Yifeng pondered for a moment. “If I rush there at full speed, it will take about six years.”
“Six years.” The Yellow Dragon nodded. If he used a top-grade flying immortal artifact, it would take around four months. Then, he agreed to go with Li Yifeng—he wanted to see that formation too. If it truly was one of the Primordial Formations, what could be inside?
Seeing the Yellow Dragon agree, Li Yifeng was overjoyed. He then shared some of his experiences over the years with him, and the Yellow Dragon also asked him several questions.
“However, Brother Yellow Dragon, I killed that birdman back then. I heard that Pei Ji is still chasing after me. You need to be careful,” Li Yifeng reminded him as they talked, recalling that incident.
