…

Ye Xiao was slightly surprised. He did not expect the Ancestral Dragon to arrive so quickly.

He should have been catching up with Xuanyuan Long and the others, right?

After all, they had not seen each other for a long time.

However, he still teleported to the door.

“Senior Ancestral Dragon, is something the matter?”

Ye Xiao asked indifferently. When the Ancestral Dragon saw his daughter, he said enviously,

“This is your daughter, right? She looks really cute. Moreover, her strength seems to be different. She seems to have already reached the Celestial Sovereign realm. It’s just that her power was sealed by you.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“She received a gift from me when I advanced, so she was able to raise her strength to such a powerful level. However, because she’s still very young, in order to prevent her from doing anything harmful to herself, I temporarily sealed her strength and waited for her to grow up before unsealing it.”

The Ancestral Dragon was rather curious.

“Logically speaking, since she already possesses such a powerful strength, it should be very easy for her to obtain those principles of heaven and earth. Moreover, her body will also grow up very quickly. Why don’t you just let your daughter grow up?”

Ye Xiao looked at Ye Xinyi with a loving expression.

“I want her to have a complete childhood. I don’t want her to miss out on anything. If that’s the case, wouldn’t she be too pitiful?

“There won’t be anything worth remembering in the future. It’s just like a machine that was specially created for cultivation.”

The Ancestral Dragon was silent. Ye Xiao was already so powerful, but he still let his children enjoy their childhood.

In his previous life, his parents seemed to be too harsh with their children. It was also because of it that his brother’s personality was eccentric. In the end, he was harmed by his own younger brother and treacherous officials, right?

“Right, Senior, why did you suddenly come looking for me?”

The Ancestral Dragon swept away the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He originally wanted to open his mouth, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he did not know what to say.

He felt a little embarrassed.

Ye Xiao seemed to have seen through his inner thoughts. He smiled slightly and said,

“Senior Ancestral Dragon, do you wish to rejoin the Xuan Yuan clan and become part of the Xuan Yuan Bloodline?”

Ancestral Dragon smiled awkwardly.

“I let you see through it.”

Then, he took a deep breath and said,

“Although I’ve already convinced myself in my heart and mustered up my courage to look for you, I don’t know why I still feel a little guilty after seeing you.

“After all, I left the Xuan Yuan clan when the clan was still weak. Now that I see that all of you have become stronger and I’m back, I’m truly shameless.”

“Please don’t say that. Senior contributed greatly to the development of the Xuan Yuan clan in history! Although you left the clan, it was also because you had no other choice.

“If it were me, I might have made the same choice as you at that time.

“In addition, if it weren’t for you helping me before, I might have already died. I wouldn’t be able to stand here and talk to you now.”

The Ancestral Dragon was silent for a moment before he spoke sincerely,

“Ye Xiao, thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Then… Do you choose to assimilate now, or later?”

“Assimilate me directly now. I don’t want to wait any longer. I want to regain my identity as a member of the Xuan Yuan clan now.”

Ye Xiao nodded. Then, with a flick of his finger, he forced out a drop of pure True Immortal blood from his finger and inserted it into the space between the Ancestral Dragon’s brows.

In the next second, the fresh blood in his body began to be assimilated.

Under normal circumstances, there were only two outcomes when the fresh blood entered the other party’s body.

Either the Ancestral Dragon refined Ye Xiao’s pure Xuan Yuan bloodline and developed it into the energy in his body, using it to strengthen his bloodline power.

The other possibility was that he chose his own bloodline and was assimilated by Ye Xiao’s pure True Immortal blood.

He had chosen the latter.

Of course, it was also because the pure True Immortal blood was powerful enough. If it was not powerful, it would not have been possible to successfully assimilate the Ancestral Dragon’s blood. It was because the Ancestral Dragon himself was not a simple small character.

During the process of assimilation, the Ancestral Dragon’s aura suddenly began to rise. His cultivation actually rose once again.

Finally, it rose by a large margin before stopping.

“I’ve finally returned to the bloodline of the Xuan Yuan clan. As expected, the bloodline of the Xuan Yuan clan is still strong enough! However, speaking of which, it seems a little strange.

“Although I’ve cut off the connection with the Xuan Yuan clan, my bloodline can still be considered the pure True Immortal blood. It’s just that both sides are no longer of the same bloodline.

“Now that I’ve fused again, why has my cultivation increased so much? Did something go wrong or did you increase your cultivation by a portion for me?

“If that’s the case, that won’t do. Your cultivation is the most important right now, so you mustn’t divide it. You’re the foundation that allows us to have a peaceful conversation with Zhang Shen’s group.”

Ye Xiao said with a smile,

“You’re thinking too much. There are many reasons why you can raise your cultivation by so much.

“One of them is because the entire Xuan Yuan clan is raising their cultivation. The increase between them will bring huge gifts to each other. That way, the speed at which your cultivation increases at every moment will be much greater than your own cultivation.

“Of course, just based on this point alone, it would definitely be impossible for one to raise one’s cultivation by so much in one go. There is also another point because I have also copied a portion of the third layer of the law energy that I comprehended in the cave to you.

“This is because I have already comprehended all of it. If I were to copy it, it wouldn’t cause any harm to me. If I were to copy it to you now, it would also greatly increase your strength. If that’s the case then why not?”

“Ye Xiao, thank you very much.”

The Ancestral Dragon’s tone was very heavy. The comprehension of the third level was extremely precious. That was because his aptitude was already very strong, but he was still unable to comprehend that layer of law energy. One could imagine how precious that layer of law energy was.

Even so, Ye Xiao had copied a portion of that layer of law energy to himself. That feeling made him extremely grateful in his heart.

Ye Xiao smiled and said,

“Don’t say that. If it wasn’t for you bringing me over, I probably wouldn’t have had any hope of comprehending any of those law energies in my entire life. How could I have raised my strength to this level?

“You helped me, and now I’ve helped you. At most, the two of us can be considered to be even.”

The Ancestral Dragon nodded and immediately immersed his mind to digest the law energy. At the same time, he was also digesting the memories.

Not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes.

“Lu Xiaoran. I seem to have heard of this name before. It’s that God of Creation. Her master is called Lu Xiaoran!”

Ye Xiao was startled.

“As expected.”

When he had received that portion of the memories, he had thought that Lu Xiaoran and the others might all be at the level of a God of Creation. He did not expect that his guess would be correct.

However, that also made his mood even heavier.

That was because if Lu Xiaoran’s disciples were all existences at the level of a God of Creation, then how terrifying would he be?

If that were the case if he were to meet him in the future, would he be a match for him if there was a confrontation between the two parties?

It seemed that he still had a long way to go in his future.

At that moment, Ye Xiao seemed to have sensed something and suddenly raised his brows.

“What’s wrong?”

The Ancestral Dragon could not help but ask. Ye Xiao immediately said,

“There’s a situation. Zhang Shen is calling me.”

“So fast? Why is this fellow looking for you?”

Ye Xiao shook his head.

“I don’t know, but since I’ve already formed an alliance with him, I have to go over and take a look.

“How about this, you stay in the Xuan Yuan divine territory and continue your cultivation, while at the same time protecting the Xuan Yuan clan. In any case, your current strength has increased by another wave. In the universe, unless you encounter a cultivator at the level of Zhang Shen, there’s basically no one who can beat you.

“With you here, I can also avoid any worries, and I can go all out to deal with other matters.”

“Alright! Then you must be careful. If you encounter any danger, run when you should. Do not delay.

“Although Zhang Shen’s group has already formed an alliance with us, our understanding of them is still insufficient. Whether they are enemies or friends, we are not clear either. You should still be wary of them and be careful.”

Ye Xiao nodded and looked at his daughter, slightly reluctant to part.

The father and daughter had just met and were about to leave in the blink of an eye.

That made Ye Xiao feel even more guilty in his heart.

However, there was nothing he could do. His current strength had yet to reach the God of Creation realm that he had always dreamed of. He still needed to continue working hard.

Carrying Ye Xinyi, Ye Xiao returned to the main hall in an instant. When he saw Feng Nishang, he moved his lips. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he was unable to.

Feng Nishang smiled gently.

“You don’t have to say anything. I understand in my heart. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of the child.”

A warm current surged in Ye Xiao’s heart.

Feng Nishang was really a good wife. She was gentle and virtuous, silently supporting him from behind.

However, he had no choice.

If he kept accompanying Feng Nishang, he would have no way to raise his strength.

If he had no way to make himself stronger, he would also be unable to accompany her.

If one day he encountered such a peak cultivator, for example… The World Destruction Cavalry or even the God of Creation herself, not to mention his entire family, even the entire Xuan Yuan clan would be annihilated.

He would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen. Thus, before such a thing happened, he had to make sacrifices.

The only way to achieve that was to cooperate with Zhang Shen.

That was because his current strength was already very powerful, and it would be very difficult for him to advance further.

Zhang Shen’s group was a very rare opportunity.

He hugged Feng Nishang and kissed her forehead.

“I’ll be back soon after I’m done. During this period of time, Senior Ancestral Dragon will protect the Xuan Yuan clan. You don’t have to worry about your safety.”

“Alright!”

Feng Nishang had just promised that when Ye Xiao instantly disappeared from where he was.

Ye Xinyi was dumbfounded and did not know what to do. She did not know why she had suddenly fallen into her mother’s embrace, nor did she know why her father had suddenly disappeared.

She waved her little hands non-stop and cried out,

“Daddy… Daddy… Daddy…”

Feng Nishang gently caressed her daughter’s little face and coaxed her with some heartache.

“Sweet baby, Daddy has to go to work. He will be back very soon. When he becomes stronger and becomes the strongest existence in this world, he will always come back to accompany us.”

Ye Xinyi seemed to have listened to her mother’s words and obediently settled down, no longer struggling.

…

On Ye Xiao’s side, he smoothly arrived at Zhang Shen’s side.

“Before we left, didn’t you tell me that there wasn’t any mission for the time being? Why is there suddenly an additional mission?”

Zhang Shen said faintly,

“Missions aren’t something that I can have just because I want to. Moreover, to be honest, I actually wish for there to be a mission because having a mission would allow my strength to become stronger.

“It’s good to not have a mission, but not being able to raise one’s cultivation is also a waste of time.”

Ye Xiao was puzzled,

“How do we raise our cultivation at this level?”

“It’s very simple. By relying on a type of law energy, a type of law energy that is capable of reversing everything, we call it a heaven-defying law!”

“Heaven-defying law?”

“That’s right! This is a unique type of energy. Not only can it increase our strength, but it can also make it easier for us to resist the world we’re currently in.

“You should know that after reaching our cultivation level, our strength will basically be fixed.

“The main reason is that when we created the world, the law that our bodies can withstand was already destined.

“When the God of Creation created us, she would allow us to have the same physical limits.

“No matter what realm you raised your body to, no matter how strong you raised your cultivation, when you reached a certain limit, it was like a bottle filled with water, no matter how much you poured, it was useless.

“And this extremely special power of the rules allowed us to have powers that defied common sense. From this, we can raise the limits of our cultivation, allowing us to become even stronger.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Ye Xiao was rather in agreement with the other party’s words.

That was because, in his current realm, he could already faintly feel that he had already stopped absorbing the power of law.

Actually, if one thought about it carefully, the higher one’s cultivation was and the stronger one’s strength was, the more concentrated the power within one’s body would be.

It was like a sponge absorbing water, constantly compressing. After reaching a limit, the surroundings would turn into air. It was already the best if one did not leak it out.

How could one still hope that one could continue to absorb water?

“Then for the first mission, will you be with me, or will I carry it out myself?”

“I will bring you to carry out the first mission. In the future, you will be the one to carry it out.”

“Thank you.”

Ye Xiao thanked him indifferently. Zhang Shen nodded and began to bring him into a brand new world. He then said,

“The mission we are going to do this time is to rescue a person and help him get through a difficult time.

“He is the destined person of the world he is in, just like you.

“In a sense, you could say that he is the work of the God of Creation!

“However, it is precisely because he is the work of the God of Creation that he has the power of a different mortal, a heaven-defying law!”
