Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Yun Xiao’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd Incarnation

”Is this... Yun Xiao?”

When Ye Yun invaded the mind of the Green Water True Dragon, touching upon that fragmented memory, he was suddenly shocked and found it hard to believe what he was seeing.

A familiar figure, Yun Xiao, appeared in Ye Yun’s sight.

Lying deep within the burial ground, her skin was snow-white and crystalline, her beautiful eyes like a painting. She was still of such peerless, captivating beauty that could topple cities and nations.

The Green Water True Dragon’s memories were fragmented at this point and then jumped.

「After an unknown amount of time had passed.」

While Yun Xiao slept, her body underwent an astonishing transformation, gradually changing into a little girl of about four or five.

She awoke from her slumber.

”Little Eighteen, will you come with me?” Little Yun Xiao skipped over to a Green Water True Dragon, gently touched its enormous, water-blue head, and said with a beaming smile.

”Yes, Master,” the Green Water True Dragon agreed, also awakening from its slumber.

Little Yun Xiao leaped lightly and landed on the Green Water True Dragon’s head.

”Let’s go. I’m a bit weak this time, so I need you to escort me away,” Little Yun Xiao said, frowning.

”Very well, Master,” the Green Water True Dragon responded with profound respect.

It swayed its Dragon Body, flew out from the watery burial ground beneath the lake, soared into the sky, and wound its way towards the entrance of Langya Cave Heaven.

The Green Water True Dragon’s flight path was exceedingly peculiar; it seemed to be avoiding those Blood Spirit Bans.

「After flying out of Langya Cave Heaven.」

Suddenly, a dark shadow shot over from the distance.

”Who are you? How did you get out of there?” the dark shadow asked in disbelief as it transformed into a black-robed, masked elder, his gaze fixed in astonishment on the girl and the dragon.

”We did,” Little Yun Xiao nodded, yet a trace of gravity flickered in her eyes.

The elder before her exuded a dangerous aura.

”Take me inside, and I might spare your lives!” the black-robed elder bellowed, his eyes glinting.

As he spoke, a handful of red insects suddenly appeared in his hand.

”Little Eighteen, we absolutely cannot let him inside. Can you hold him off for a while?” Little Yun Xiao said.

”Master, rest assured. I can hold him off for a time. You must leave this place quickly,” the Green Water True Dragon said in a deep voice.

”Alright! If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay your kindness!” Little Yun Xiao’s eyes glistened, tears welling. She circulated the meager Mana within her, her small, jade-like hand lifting to reveal an ancient talisman.

”A Thousand-Mile Instantaneous Movement Talisman?” The black-robed elder was startled. He hadn’t expected this little girl, with her low cultivation base, to possess such an ancient talisman.

”You undying old fiend! Even if I die today, I’ll drag you down with me!” the Green Water True Dragon roared furiously, manipulating the surging waters into bared fangs and brandished claws as it lunged at the black-robed elder.

A flash of light flared. Little Yun Xiao activated the Thousand-Mile Instantaneous Movement Talisman and vanished in the blink of an eye.

BOOM! BOOM!

The black-robed elder and the Green Water True Dragon instantly clashed.

The battle was fierce. River water churned, and monstrous waves surged skyward.

However, after several rounds, the Green Water True Dragon found itself at a disadvantage.

”Hehe! Little Dragon, today I’ll let you taste the might of this old man’s Blood Spirit Yin Gu!” the black-robed elder sneered, flinging the small red insects from his hand.

Each insect transformed into a streak of red lightning, shooting towards the Green Water True Dragon from all directions.

Streams of aqueous light surged forth, forming a barrier. The Green Water True Dragon resisted for a time, but one small red insect still managed to attach itself to its brain.

”Trying to control me? I won’t let you succeed so easily!” the Green Water True Dragon roared, beginning to erase its memories in a suicidal act.

After all, it knew the only passage within Langya Cave Heaven. If this knowledge fell into the black-robed elder’s hands, the Crystal Coffin their master had entrusted to their protection would be his.

This was something it could not tolerate, even in death.

”Still trying to destroy your memories?” The black-robed elder instantly saw through its intent and roared. The small red insect suddenly accelerated, drilling into the Green Water True Dragon’s mind like a bolt of lightning.

It had just destroyed the memory of the passage, and only a small part of its other memories were damaged when the Blood Spirit Yin Gu invaded.

The moment the Blood Spirit Yin Gu entered, it immediately seized control of the Green Water True Dragon.

This prevented the dragon from further damaging its memories.

Simultaneously, the black-robed elder also managed to glimpse some of the Green Water True Dragon’s memories through the Blood Spirit Yin Gu.

So, there’s actually the true body of a Five Elements True Dragon here, and it has reached the Tenth Layer Peak of the Eternal Realm... the black-robed elder muttered to himself, his eyes blazing with fervent desire.

The only safe passage into Langya Cave Heaven is now known by that little girl; I absolutely cannot let her escape... The black-robed elder’s face contorted, then he turned and vanished into the void.

The Green Water True Dragon’s memories ended there; it didn’t know whether the black-robed elder found Little Yun Xiao afterward.

However, the black-robed elder did return later. After barely breaching some of the Blood Spirit Bans in Langya Cave Heaven, his Yuan Qi was greatly damaged, forcing him to retreat from the grotto-heaven. He also reinforced a layer of the Formation Seal.

This Green Water True Dragon was also set loose by him; with the Blood Spirit Yin Gu in its mind, the elder had nothing to worry about.

This was likely the most important memory in the Green Water True Dragon’s mind.

Witnessing these memories, Ye Yun felt a surge of emotion, and his eyes grew moist.

So, Yun Xiao truly succeeded in cultivating The Self-made Dragon Art and lived out her second life.

The Five Elements True Dragon in the Crystal Coffin was Yun Xiao’s first true body.

And the young, beautiful Yun Xiao from before was her second incarnation.

Ye Yun had never imagined that Yun Xiao, by cultivating The Self-made Dragon Art, could actually manifest a third life.

That little girl of four or five was Yun Xiao’s third incarnation.

Yun Xiao’s talent is truly unparalleled; she has brought The Self-made Dragon Art to new heights. However, this also means the Dragon Clan Bloodline within her body has likely become pitifully thin. Ye Yun sighed softly.

His gaze sharpened, and in an instant, he invaded the mind of the black-robed elder wrapped in the Silver Cocoon.

BOOM!

Sensing the intrusion, the Blood Spirit Yin Gu self-detonated instantly.

Ye Yun was momentarily stunned. I didn’t expect these little insects to have such a peculiar trait.

Ye Yun pondered for a moment. Yun Xiao must have been fortunate. The master of the Blood Spirit Yin Gu—that black-robed elder—must not have captured her.

Otherwise, if he had obtained the path to avoid the Blood Spirit Bans, he would have been able to enter this Water Tomb back then.

The black-robed elder within the Silver Cocoon perished instantly due to the Blood Spirit Yin Gu’s self-detonation.

To prevent the Su Family Ancestor from suffering the same fate, Ye Yun immediately activated his Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, instantly reducing the Blood Spirit Yin Gu in the Ancestor’s mind to particles and dissipating them.

Ye Yun withdrew from the Green Water True Dragon’s memories.

At this moment, the other seventeen Green Water True Dragons swiftly swam over.

They circled Ye Yun, sensing the aura of their kin, a look of shock in their eyes.

”Are you... the new Green Water True Dragon our Master raised?”

”Hey, do you know Master’s whereabouts?”

”So many years have passed. Is our Master still alive?”

The Green Water True Dragons clamored, questioning Ye Yun.

”I don’t know either.” Ye Yun shook his head with a bitter smile. Recalling the lonely, wandering Yun Xiao, stubbornly living one life after another, an indescribable sorrow filled his heart.
