In the northwest corner of the World, there was a country called the Sleeping Dragon Kingdom, nad so because within its borders lay the corpse of a giant dragon. The dragon’s corpse coiled over hundreds of miles, resembling a mountain range. Various rare and precious herbs grew on the dragon corpse, making it extrely valuable. As a result, this Dragon Corpse Mountain Range was designated as a forbidden area by the Sleeping Dragon Kingdom.
In the center of the Dragon Corpse Mountain Range, a man sat naked under a waterfall, letting the cascading water impact his muscular body. On his heart was a birthmark resembling dragon scales, now emitting an eerie purple light.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, his body instantly covered in dragon scales, a dragon tail growing out. He could actually transform into a half-human, half-dragon form, sothing even Dragon Lord couldn’t do. Ancient dragon blood flowed in his veins, and his contract object was the mysterious dragon scale on his heart.
The man leapt up, using the dragon wings on his back to split the waterfall in two, hovering in mid-air. He flexed his hands, now transford into dragon claws, a confident smile appearing on his lips.
“I’ve almost fully absorbed the ancient dragon breath. I wonder if there’s still anyone below the Spirit God Realm who can match ,” the man murmured. “Mi Hongchen would be a good choice for a dao partner, although she’s quite a bit older than , it doesn’t matter. I should find a ti to have Father Emperor propose marriage, though the Eastern Kingdom Emperor won’t easily let her go. Well, soday I’ll stand at the peak of the world, and then I can just take her directly.”
Fan Longyu looked towards the east, not taking the competition for Book World slots seriously at all. With his strength, it would naturally be a piece of cake.
“Before leaving, I should say goodbye to my four masters in the Four Saints Lake,” he thought, then shot off towards the distance.
The Four Saints in the lake, four True Realm experts on par with the Four Dragon Kings, were actually all his masters.
In the human realm, as night deepened, a huge lake in the center was brightly lit, like an earthly moon reflecting the moon in the sky. This lake was often shrouded in mist, making it impossible for outsiders to penetrate deeply, only able to linger at the edges. This was the Moon Reflection Pavilion, deep in the Sunset Canyon.
“Nangong Weilai already has a guaranteed slot, but our Moon Reflection Pavilion must still send a disciple to participate. It’s ti to let the world see our Moon Reflection Pavilion’s strength again,” a middle-aged man said calmly deep within the Moon Reflection Pavilion, with a young man in green standing beside him.
“Master, let go. I can also see how little junior sister is living there,” the speaker was the Moon Reflection Pavilion’s top genius, Gong Sun Taoli.
“Very well, but there are many experts in the Myriad Spirits Realm. This ti, no one will hold back. You must be careful, don’t be careless when facing enemies, and be sure to give it your all,” the Moon Reflection Pavilion Master instructed.
But Gong Sun Taoli clearly showed so disdain, “Unless I encounter that woman from the White Cloud Tower, I will surely defeat anyone else. This slot will be mine, Master can just wait for the good news.”
Watching Gong Sun Taoli’s departing figure, the Moon Reflection Pavilion Master frowned, “This child has never experienced setbacks since childhood. It’s good for him to go and gain so experience. The world’s talents are not limited to just a few from the Moon Reflection Pavilion and White Cloud Tower. However, Weilai is actually our Moon Reflection Pavilion’s most talented disciple, and she’s already secured a slot, so I don’t need to worry too much.”
Above the Origin Sea, a mysterious floating island hung high in the sky, with pavilions and towers like a fairyland. This was the White Cloud Tower, on par with the Moon Reflection Pavilion. “White Cloud Tower in the sky, Moon Reflection Pavilion on earth” – attracting the world’s geniuses was not just a slogan.
Outside a closed cultivation room, a man dressed as a scholar with extraordinary bearing was idly twirling a brush in his hand. If Zhanyue were here, he might guess his identity – this was the horse-faced man who had traded with Zhanyue on Ghost Island. Now he had removed his horse-head mask, and his cultivation had advanced to the Profound Realm.
Soon after, the door opened, and a white-clad woman slowly walked out. ng Huyu felt his heart skip a beat; no matter how many tis he saw his senior sister, she was always stunningly beautiful, like a heavenly fairy.
Yunyao was the adopted daughter of the White Cloud Tower Master and the top genius of White Cloud Tower. With long black hair falling over her shoulders, skin as white as snow, and flawless features, she was beautiful but exuded an unapproachable aura, giving people a great sense of pressure. Even the extraordinarily talented ng Huyu felt inferior standing before her, not even having the courage to look at her directly. More astonishingly, Yunyao had a pair of small white wings on her back, covered with sacred feathers, identical to the wings of legendary angels.
Indeed, this heavenly maiden of the White Cloud Tower was not fully human, or rather, she was a hybrid of the Bird Race and humans. Yunyao only knew that her father was from the Bird Race and her mother was human. She was abandoned as a child and fortunately adopted by her master. Yunyao felt neither hatred nor love for her parents, treating them as complete strangers and never thinking about them. But the Bird Race blood in her body was real, with those wings as the best evidence. Contract objects were exclusive to humans, and Yunyao happened to be a rare body contractor, with her contract object being those wings on her back. The combination of these two mysterious powers made Yunyao’s strength terrifyingly powerful. Only the White Cloud Tower Master knew that Yunyao had once secretly slain a Spirit God level fierce beast. Killing a Spirit God with Profound Realm cultivation was an extrely rare feat. Even the White Cloud Tower Master didn’t dare to leak this information casually.
“Senior Sister, Master intends for us both to participate in the competition for Book World trial slots,” ng Huyu said.
“Understood,” Yunyao nodded and left alone, unwilling to say another word.
Although ng Huyu was used to this, he still smiled helplessly. His senior sister was too cold.
“Senior Sister, Master also asked to tell you to hold back during the competition, don’t hurt anyone, and especially don’t kill anyone,” ng Huyu shouted at Yunyao’s back. He knew how terrifying his senior sister could be when angered. Both their master and he worried that if so fool offended her, she might casually kill them. Such deaths couldn’t occur at this grand event.
“I know my limits,” Yunyao left these few words and floated away.
“Sigh, I wonder which unfortunate soul will encounter Senior Sister,” ng Huyu sighed, but then began to worry about himself, “Never mind, I’m just here to make up the numbers. I wonder if I’ll see that kid Feng Bulang from Night City this ti. With his strength, as long as he doesn’t encounter a monster like Senior Sister, he should be able to secure a slot, right?”
The Night City ng Huyu ntioned was located in the Eternal Night Kingdom on the western edge of the Night Sea. This place had extre daylight conditions with very long nights, so the number of Nightmares there was the highest on the World. But even in such a harsh place, humans had established a kingdom. Once, a Great Lord level Nightmare invaded the Eternal Night Kingdom but was repelled by a mysterious old man. This old man was called the Night Watcher by the people of the Night Kingdom, with extrely high cultivation. Many suspected his strength even surpassed Thunder Lord’s.
