“The cultivation of the initial stage of the Saint King Realm should only be considered reaching adulthood for the True Dragon Clan,” Su Chen murmured as he looked at Long Wu.

“Get up, there’s no need to be so restrained,” Su Chen said indifferently. “It must have been tiring for you to come all this way.”

“As long as I can return to Master’s side, it’s worth it no matter how far away it is,” Long Wu replied, her beautiful eyes filled with a strange light as she secretly sized up Su Chen.

“Which region did you come from?” Su Chen asked curiously, seeming to recall something.

This world was massive. Even the East Barrens was only one region of the continent. There were many other large regions besides the East Barrens where living beings thrived. Of these, the Central Plains boasted the most terrifying strength. There were also some once great domains that had long declined, where even a Nirvana Realm expert was hard to find. Yet the cultivation world remained prosperous in these domains.

The East Barrens was among the greatest domains. Not only were there Saint Realm experts but also many Quasi-Emperor Realm experts. There were even some ancient forbidden zones rumored to possibly still house great emperors, though this was unconfirmed.

“I came from the Southern Region, Master,” Long Wu replied softly.

Before Su Chen could respond, Huo Xi cried out in surprise, “The Southern Region?”

The Southern Region was no stranger to her because it was her hometown. In her memory, the Southern Region had declined long ago. There were few Nirvana Realm experts left and almost no Saint Realm experts, only some old Daoist sites of ancient saints. But she did not expect to encounter an expert from her homeland here.

“You’re also from the Southern Region?” Su Chen asked Huo Xi curiously.

“Yes,” Huo Xi nodded.

“The Southern Region was very glorious in ancient times, though it has declined over the past ten thousand years,” mused Su Chen, having read about the various domains in ancient texts.

The Southern Region was among them, extremely prosperous in ancient times, producing many Great Emperor Realm powerhouses. But its name was rarely mentioned in the last ten thousand years, as there were too few experts for anyone to pay attention to. If this decline continued, the Southern Region could slowly fade into an ordinary domain, with even its cultivators disappearing completely.

“1 won’t hide it from Master. Recently, many ancient creatures have revived in the Southern Region. Perhaps it won’t be long before the Southern Region welcomes a golden era!” said Long Wu.

“Ancient creatures?” Su Chen repeated in surprise. In ancient times, the Southern Region was not human territory. Most creatures there were ancient races, with humans at the bottom. Now, with ancient creatures reappearing, the human race would probably fall into deep trouble again.

“The ancient era was so long ago. For them to cross the endless river of time and appear in this age shows their methods are formidable!” remarked Su Chen.

“But you’re one of those ancient creatures as well, right?”

“Yes!” Long Wu nodded respectfully. “Without Master awakening me, I would likely still be in a coma.”

“As expected,” Su Chen muttered. He had guessed long ago the system would not create something from nothing, let alone a Saint King Realm True Dragon. If it could manifest creatures at will, it would have directly appeared before him rather than have him search.

“Senior!” Huo Xi suddenly spoke up hesitantly. “Why did the ancient creatures choose to revive at this time?” No matter what, the Southern Region was her homeland, and she did not wish to see its humans return to subjugation.

“In ancient times, a sage foretold that in this era, an unprecedented stroke of fortune would occur. This stroke of fortune would impact the entire world, even the immortal realm! As long as one could grasp this opportunity, they could become invincible in the immortal realm, achieving eternal life!” Long Wu’s face was filled with yearning. Though easily said, few truly attained immortality or dominated the Immortal Realm. Only one such person appeared in each era. Yet now, the ancient sages claimed these would be trivial feats. How could this not be enticing?

Su Chen chuckled, unconcerned by this. To him, the system was the greatest fortune. Other chances were dispensable. The system was his path to immortality and invincibility. No amount of fortune could help him without it.

“Master, on my way here, 1 heard some factions are your enemies,” Long Wu continued. “Do you need me to destroy them?”

“No need,” said Su Chen, waving his hand. Whether the Infinite Demon Sect, the Inky Sea Island, the Spirit Race, or the Qin family, each had a long history. The Qin family even had Quasi-Emperor Realm experts who were beyond Long Wu’s ability. Even the seemingly weaker Spirit Race and the Infinite Demon Sect likely hid more strength than evident on the surface. Even ordinary people concealed their strength, let alone ancient saint-level forces.

“What are your plans next, Master?” asked Long Wu.

“Let’s go to the Demon Slaying Altar first,” Su Chen replied after pondering. He had heard of it before. Now, at the Prodigy Gathering, a quasi-emperor had tasked the Great Mystery Sacred Sect with handling the dark creatures at the Demon Slaying Altar. As the Holy Son, Su Chen naturally had to inspect it first. Without understanding the interior, blindly sending the Great Mystery Sacred Sect’s disciples into it could lead to massive defeat, even the destruction of the entire sect! For safety, he had to scout it out first. With Long Wu present, the danger would be manageable..
