Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 726: Chapter 726: At the Depth of the Pond, the Star Dragon

Upon hearing the First Star Ancestor’s words, Ye Yun, who was strolling in the void, smiled indifferently and gently shook his head. These Seven Stars Clanspeople also possessed the bloodline of the Divine Dragon. Over these millions of years, countless generations had passed, so they naturally had no significant relation to the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon. Although the Seven Stars Clanspeople could be considered descendants of the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon, they hadn’t committed any heinous acts over these years, and Ye Yun didn’t intend to cause them trouble. There are increasingly fewer cultivators with the Dragon Clan Bloodline in the world, so it’s better to preserve these Seven Stars Clanspeople for now. After all, the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon alone is the true root of the disturbance; it has nothing to do with the rest of the Dragon Clan.

”OINK... OINK...”

An odd noise came from underfoot. A glance revealed the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon beside his feet, making pig-like snorting sounds, probably due to nervousness.

Ye Yun laughed. It seemed its body structure had become increasingly pig-like after the change.

This arrogant, foolish Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon actually dared to call itself the Dragon Ancestor before him, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons. Of course, Ye Yun wouldn’t let it off lightly. However, keeping the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon would serve a greater purpose, and he also wanted to see how the seven star-points would be replenished in the future.

To punish the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon, Ye Yun transformed it into a small, green-and-red pig, and also reduced its cultivation to the Life and Death Realm.

This punishment could hardly be described as light.

「After a while」

The group flew to the area above the Immortal Pond. Ye Yun descended, stopping beside the statue of the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon.

He examined it closely, observing the nine tails of different colors with a look of curiosity in his eyes. A dragon with nine tails; these nine tails of the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon must possess some kind of miraculous Divine Skills, just like the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat and Nine-tailed Fox Demon.

”Oh, my goodness!”

Big Black Cat jumped down from the Celestial Boat and landed beside Ye Yun. Looking at the statue, he said in shock, ”Master, how does this Divine Dragon have nine tails?”

”Don’t you also have nine tails?” Ye Yun chuckled.

”Master, I am a Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, so of course, I have nine tails, but I’ve never heard of a dragon with nine tails...” Big Black Cat scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.

”This is the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon, one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons from the Ancient Times,” Ye Yun said with a smile.

”Super Divine Dragon?” Big Black Cat’s mouth fell agape with shock, and he was rendered speechless.

Mu Qing also flew over. After closely examining the Divine Dragon Statue, she flew towards the nine tails and began a careful observation. Hearing Ye Yun’s words, Mu Qing was also greatly shocked.

Nine-tailed Divine Dragon, one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons... Mu Qing murmured as she reached out to touch a dragon tail.

”Perhaps this Nine-tailed Divine Dragon has some connection with your Nine-tailed Spirit Cat...” Ye Yun glanced at Big Black Cat.

”That could be possible...” Big Black Cat chuckled awkwardly.

Just then, Mu Qing’s hand touched the statue, and a burst of light repelled her hand.

”Strange, why did that pond over there light up?” The Saint of Eight Extremes turned his head, looked towards the pond, and said in surprise.

”Interesting.” Ye Yun smiled faintly, having also noticed the anomaly.

The other six ponds made no sound; only one of them lit up. This was the pond that still had a beam of light when the Seven-star formation receded. The other six ponds seemed to have exhausted their energy.

Mu Qing flew back, her face pale. Her hand was numb, and she dared not touch the Divine Dragon Statue again.

Ye Yun approached that pond. Standing above it, he glanced into it.

Even though it appeared to be an ordinary pond, there was a mystical sealing power preventing Ye Yun from prying with his gaze.

”Break!” Ye Yun’s pupils contracted slightly. A powerful surge of the Power of Life and Death erupted, raging like a cataclysmic tide and battering down relentlessly.

BOOM!

Water from the pond surface erupted into the sky. The seal deep within the pond was instantly broken by Ye Yun.

So powerful! I couldn’t even break the seal of this pond... the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon nearby thought, terrified by the scene.

Though endowed with the Seven-star formation, allowing it some degree of communication with the Immortal Pond, it still couldn’t break the seal. In its view, the seal was like an unshakeable God Mountain, emanating an ancient aura, majestic and imposing. Unexpectedly, his Senior had broken it with merely a glance. Just one look, and a powerful force broke the seal.

At this moment, Ye Yun’s cultivation base became even more inscrutable to the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon and the nearby Saint of Eight Extremes.

”Well, well, there’s a live one!”

Gazing into the depths of the pond, he saw a gigantic, star-blue dragon lying prone within the space there. This star-blue dragon had an exceptional form. Its body, seemingly composed of countless stars, was extraordinarily beautiful and grand—an unforgettable sight.

This was a Star Dragon. Although it remained still, vitality was present within it.

”What kind of dragon is this?” The Saint of Eight Extremes focused his gaze, peering through the pond water, and also witnessed the star-blue dragon, astounded. The dragon was so beautiful, as if formed from the stars in the sky—an inexplicably divine sight.

However, the starlight across the giant dragon’s body had dimmed considerably, and its vitality was extremely faint.

Ye Yun looked up and inhaled deeply, his gaze then moving to the other six ponds. The Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye activated.

BOOM! BOOM!

A series of explosions sounded as columns of pond water soared into the sky! At this moment, all seals over the six ponds were simultaneously broken open by Ye Yun.

A Star Dragon was present in each of the other six ponds. However, the starlight on these six Star Dragons was a dull gray, with no signs of life.

Ye Yun remained silent. The Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon had mistakenly barged into Seven Star Mountain, entered the Immortal Pond, activated the formations of these seven ponds, and absorbed a huge amount of their energy. This energy had originated from these seven Star Dragons.

Still a step too late... Ye Yun sighed lightly, his face tinged with annoyance.

Fortunately, these six Star Dragons had only just died. Since not much time had passed, there was still a possibility of rescuing them.

Ye Yun took out the Eight Treasures Liuli Bottle, dispensed six droplets of Three Lights Divine Water, and with a flick of his finger, sent them flying towards the six ponds.

The six droplets of Three Lights Divine Water entered the bodies of the six Star Dragons.

”Wait for me here.” Without waiting for the six Star Dragons to revive, Ye Yun turned, gave the instruction, and descended directly into the depths of the pond beneath his feet.

”Yes, Senior,” the Saint of Eight Extremes replied respectfully, his hands clasped downwards as he waited calmly.

”Er...” The Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon looked somewhat apprehensive, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Big Black Cat looked at the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon with an unfriendly glint in its eyes and, reaching out, snatched it up.

”Put me down, you stupid cat!” the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon yelled. It had discerned Big Black Cat’s true form when it was in the True God Realm.

”You dare call me, your Old Cat, a stupid cat? Damn it, you’re really pushing your luck!” Big Black Cat flew into a rage, slapping down hard.

SMACK! SMACK!

Palm shadows flashed, and a series of crisp sounds rang out. The little green-and-red pig’s bottom instantly swelled high. The Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon, wracked with pain, let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
