Wasteland of Death.
Deep inside a dry land, a massive rock is blocking an entrance into an underground cave. Many people who accidentally entered the Wasteland of Death thought it was weird.
Since when did this massive rock appear in the Wasteland of Death?
Still, after years of attempts, no one could destroy it.
In the end, people leave it behind.
Thud!
Suddenly, the massive rock moved by an inch.
Unfortunately, no one sees this alarming sight.
The ground and sky are shaking violently but later stop abruptly.
Silence.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The massive rock that could overshadow a small mountain was 'literally' destroyed into pieces, and a bright blue ray escaped the cave, creating a pillar of light.
A shadow jumped out and landed on one of the rock chunks.
He was a tall, handsome young man with long dark hair with blue-Azurd tips that reached his waist.
He is probably over 180 centimeters, with a muscular build that is barely covered by his untied purple robe.
His hair appeared wild and unkempt, but one couldn't deny the lustrous, healthy glow.
Under the swaying of his bangs, one could see a pair of boundless golden eyes. In a 'mere' two years, there are massive changes in the depth of those gold oceans.
"HELLO, WORLD!"
"I'M BACK! HAHAHA-!" The young man let out a gleeful shout and laughed
excitedly.
The prince has returned!
"You're making far too much noise, you fool." A sweet, mature voice rang out behind the young man as a slender, delicate hand reached out and lightly tapped him on the head.
Behind the young man appeared a very mature and extremely beautiful woman with a charming and alluring demeanor. She was none other than Zhu Zhuyun.
The young man was Xichen, who had obtained the Dragon God's inheritance and had completely integrated with it.
"I've been fighting for two whole fucking years, so I think I deserve a little entertainment," Xichen said with childish petulance, tired of the constant, non-stop fighting without any rest for two full years.
[Ding! You have interrupted Yun Che's chance to obtain the Dragon God Legacy. Yun Che has lost 2000 Fortune Value, and the Host has received 10,000 Destiny Points.]
"..." Xichen stared at the familiar system screen he hadn't seen in a long time, and a happy smile spread across his lips as he thought, 'My dear Favored Children of Heaven, I'm back, and I hope you have plenty of points for me to squeeze out of you.'
"We should return to the Divine Phoenix Empire; your mother must be very worried about you," Zhuyun said. Although Xichen had said he would be in seclusion for a long time, Zhuqing was surely very anxious about him, as they had disappeared for two whole years.
"Not yet. We need to make a stop somewhere first," Xichen smiled, remembering that around this time, the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament should be nearing its end, which meant the Heaven Basin Secret Realm was about to open.
As for the problem of him not being from the Blue Wind Empire, that wasn't an issue. He was the prince of the most powerful empire and also an honored guest of the Imperial Family, so he would be able to enter easily without anyone stopping him.
"A place you want to go?" Zhuyun stared at Xichen with confusion. He had been undergoing the Dragon God's trial for a little over two years, so she was curious where he wanted to go.
"We're going to the Heavenly Sword Villa. There's a competition going on there," Xichen said, his golden eyes gleaming with a greedy light as his body began to rise into the air. "We're going to join in on the fun."
"Heavenly Sword Villa... they are connected to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, aren't they?" Zhuyun murmured, remembering that the Villa Master's wife belonged to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region.
"Right. The daughter of an elder from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, named Xuanyuan Yufeng, married Ling Yuefeng, who is still chasing after Chu Yuechan's shadow," Xichen said with sarcasm and disdain. Ling Yuefeng was just a fool and an idiot, unable to get the woman he loved and unable to even control the beauty who loved him.
"No way, but are you thinking of stealing Ling Yuefeng's wife?" Zhuyun asked suspiciously, staring at her little sister's son, who preferred mature women and seemed to have a particular fondness for women with children who were married.
"Impossible. Is that how you see your cute, little nephew?" Xichen clutched his heart in mock pain, putting a pitiful and wronged expression on his face.
"This cute, little boy wouldn't dare stretch his claws towards his mother and aunt." Zhuyun rolled her eyes at Xichen's shamelessness. In the past two years, his wicked claws had indeed reached her, and it seemed Zhuqing had also fallen under them.
Zhuyun laughed lightly, but there was something subtle hidden in her tone.
"Sometimes I feel that seclusion wasn't a test for the Dragon God's inheritance… it was a test of my patience with you."
"And you passed with flying colors, didn't you?" Xichen said, winking at her playfully.
The two had been stuck together for two full years, so their relationship was much closer than before, more playful and comfortable.
"But I didn't expect that in two years, you would reach the 3rd level of the Tyrant Profound Realm," Zhuyun said. Xichen hadn't been Cultivating at all in the past two years, yet his power, which was at the 7th level of the Emperor Profound Realm, had reached the 3rd level of the Tyrant Profound Realm in just two years.
"The same applies to you. You've reached the 9th level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, and by consuming the remaining energy, you will reach the 10th level of the Sovereign Profound Realm," Xichen said. He had given Zhuyun 5 drops of Dragon God's blood to integrate with, which had greatly increased her power.
As for himself, he hadn't integrated with the Dragon God's blood. There were only 13 drops. He had given 5 to Zhuyun and was thinking of giving another 5 to Zhuqing. As for the remaining three drops, he would keep them for when they were needed. They would be more useful in the future than just integrating with them now. Besides, he didn't need them. He had already integrated with the Dragon God's Bone Marrow and didn't need a few drops, as his body produced it automatically, and this was better for enhancing his physical strength even more.
"Let's hurry. I want to reach an inn tonight, take a bath, and change my clothes," Xichen said, increasing his speed. He felt uncomfortable not bathing for a long time, plus he wanted to reach the Heavenly Sword Villa by tomorrow at the latest.
