The ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍four Great Ascension cultivators had grim expressions, yet did not dare act rashly.

The ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍white-haired elder at the front took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart, and cupped his hands:

“Senior ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Dragon Lord, please quell your anger. This matter… concerns the very foundation of our sect. We cannot decide it ourselves.”

“Please ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍wait a moment, Senior, and allow us to consult the ancestors.”

Dragon ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Lord’s expression was calm. “Go.”

The four felt as if they had been granted amnesty. Exchanging glances, their figures flickered and vanished into the distance.

Dragon Lord was in no hurry. He simply waited in place, his gaze sweeping across the mountains and spiritual veins of this secret realm.

The Tianyan Dao Sect’s ability to stand for three hundred thousand years did indeed have some foundation.

The spiritual energy here was dense, with spiritual veins crisscrossing—clearly cultivated through countless generations.

Unfortunately, he had no interest in such things.

What he wanted was only the Heavenly Heart Enlightenment Lotus.

Moments later, three auras rose from deep within the secret realm.

Not Great Ascension—Tribulation Crossing.

Three Tribulation Crossing auras—one mid-stage, two early-stage.

Dragon Lord slightly raised his eyes.

In the next instant, three figures appeared before him.

The one in front had white hair and a youthful face, wearing a moon-white Daoist robe.

His aura was as deep as an abyss—clearly the mid-stage Tribulation Crossing ancestor.

Behind him stood a man and a woman, both early-stage Tribulation Crossing.

The three looked at Dragon Lord not with hostility, but with a hint of apprehension.

“Fellow Daoist Dragon Lord,” the white-haired elder spoke first, his tone calm.

“This old man is Tianyanzi, the Supreme Grand Elder of the Tianyan Dao Sect. These two are my junior brother and junior sister.”

Tianyanzi did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point:

“My disciples were ignorant and offended you. I offer my apologies.”

“As for the Heavenly Heart Enlightenment Lotus…”

“Since you have personally come, you must be determined to obtain it. If I refuse, today the Tianyan Dao Sect will likely be drenched in blood.”

Dragon Lord looked at him without denying it.

Tianyanzi sighed.

“So be it. Though this treasure is precious, it cannot compare to the lives of hundreds of thousands in the sect.”

He raised his hand, gathering light in his palm.

Moments later, a crystal-clear lotus appeared.

The lotus was about the size of a palm, its petals pale green.

At its core, a golden light flickered faintly, as if alive.

This was the Heavenly Heart Enlightenment Lotus.

Dragon Lord glanced at it and confirmed it.

Tianyanzi held the lotus with both hands and offered it forward.

“This item is hereby gifted to you, Fellow Daoist.”

Dragon Lord accepted it and stored it in his sleeve.

He looked at Tianyanzi and spoke slowly:

“I killed one of your Great Ascension earlier because he spoke disrespectfully and sought his own death.”

“You have given me this item. I will not pursue the matter further.”

At these words, the man and woman behind Tianyanzi couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Not pursue it further?

You barged into someone’s sect, killed a peak Great Ascension, took a three-hundred-thousand-year treasure, and then say you won’t pursue it further?

This sounded…

Shameless.

But they dared not show anything on their faces, instead forcing smiles and nodding.

“Fellow Daoist is magnanimous.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Tianyanzi remained calm. Having lived for over a hundred thousand years, what scene had he not seen?

What was face worth? Survival was what mattered.

Dragon Lord was quite satisfied.

He turned to leave.

“Fellow Daoist, please wait.”

Tianyanzi suddenly spoke.

Dragon Lord paused and looked back.

Tianyanzi took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and spoke solemnly:

“This old man has an unworthy request.”

“Speak.”

“I wish to lead the Tianyan Dao Sect to join the Heavenly Court and become your subordinate.”

Dragon Lord was stunned.

He sized up Tianyanzi, confirming the old man was not joking.

Robbed of treasure—and still wanted to join?

What kind of logic was this?

Seeing his expression, Tianyanzi gave a bitter smile and explained:

“Please do not misunderstand. This was not a sudden decision, but one discussed with my junior brother and sister.”

“Over the years, I have heard of your actions. You have never been defeated. Three Tribulation Crossing cultivators have already died by your hand.”

“Though I have been in seclusion, I am not foolish.”

“A figure like you is either a hidden great expert, or…”

He paused, glancing at the horns atop Dragon Lord’s head.

“…a peerless prodigy of the true dragon race.”

“Either way, not someone my Tianyan Dao Sect can oppose.”

“If we cannot defeat you, then we join you.”

“I have lived over a hundred thousand years. I understand this principle.”

After hearing this, Dragon Lord shook his head.

“No.”

Tianyanzi was stunned. “Why?”

Dragon Lord looked at him calmly. “Though you stand at the top of the Spirit Realm, you are still not qualified to enter my Heavenly Court.”

Tianyanzi’s expression changed.

The two Tribulation Crossing ancestors behind him were also shocked.

Not qualified?

They were Tribulation Crossing cultivators!

Wherever they went in the Spirit Realm, they were figures who could shake the land with a stomp!

Seeing their expressions, Dragon Lord spoke:

“I have long made plans for the Heavenly Court.”

“In the future, the Heavenly Court will stand equal to the Immortal Court of the Immortal Realm.”

“Tell me—would the Immortal Court accept those below the Human Immortal Realm?”

Tianyanzi froze.

Immortal Court?

Equal to the Immortal Court?

This…

Wasn’t this bragging too much?

But looking into Dragon Lord’s calm eyes, he suddenly felt that this man was not boasting.

Dragon Lord continued, “I would rather lack than accept the unworthy. What I do now in the Spirit Realm is only temporary.”

“When the time comes, I will leave the Spirit Realm.”

Tianyanzi fell silent.

He understood the implication.

Leaving the Spirit Realm?

Above Tribulation Crossing was the Human Immortal Realm.

To become a Human Immortal meant ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Dragon Lord intended to ascend?

Tianyanzi’s thoughts churned, but he did not show it.

He knew—today, he had misjudged.

Or rather, he had overestimated himself.

Seeing their disappointment, Dragon Lord let out a faint laugh.

“However, I am not one who takes without giving.”

“Over the years, whenever I take treasures, I follow a rule.”

“Based on the value, I provide appropriate compensation.”

“And that compensation—is my strength.”

He flipped his hand, producing a talisman.

The talisman was golden, radiating a heart-palpitating pressure.

“This is called a Dragon Talisman. It contains nine of my fist strikes.”

“Each strike can kill a late-stage Tribulation Crossing cultivator.”

Dragon Lord handed the talisman to Tianyanzi.

“This will serve as compensation for the Enlightenment Lotus.”

Tianyanzi received it with both hands.

Nine fist strikes?

Each capable of killing late-stage Tribulation Crossing?

Holding the talisman and sensing the terrifying power within, Tianyanzi felt a mix of emotions.

He had thought today would be a complete loss.

Yet Dragon Lord had given compensation.

And such compensation…

Nine life-saving chances!

Tianyanzi took a deep breath and bowed solemnly.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”

Dragon Lord waved his hand.

“We are even.”

He stepped forward and vanished into the void.

……

Outside the Tianyan Dao Sect’s secret realm.

Dragon Lord stood above the sea of clouds, taking out the Heavenly Heart Enlightenment Lotus and examining it carefully.

After confirming it was genuine, he closed his eyes slightly.

Divine sense connected—transmitting across realms.

……

Southern Sea No. 73 Mortal World.

Taiyi Dao Sect, Longevity Peak.

Inside the cave dwelling, Gu Yan was cultivating cross-legged when suddenly, his mind stirred.

He raised his hand.

A crystal-clear lotus appeared in his palm.

The Heavenly Heart Enlightenment Lotus.

Gu Yan examined it and nodded slightly.

“Not bad. A good item indeed.”

He stood and walked out of the cave.

At the foot of Longevity Peak, he found a place where spiritual energy gathered.

With a wave of his hand, the ground split open.

Gu Yan planted the lotus.

The moment it touched the soil, it seemed to find its home—its roots burrowed into the earth, petals swaying gently, emitting waves of Dao rhythm.

Gu Yan watched and nodded in satisfaction.

To him, this item was naturally inferior to the Illusory Dao Seed of Chaos Planting a Green Lotus.

That one produced innate spiritual energy.

This one produced only acquired spiritual energy.

But it was still useful.

Moreover, acquired spiritual energy had its own value.

When enough such enhancements accumulated, quantitative change would lead to qualitative change, eventually producing remarkable effects.

Thus, treasures that enhanced spiritual energy were naturally the more, the better.

As for Dragon Lord’s affairs, he had no need to worry.

With those two entries concealing heavenly secrets, no one would ever trace Dragon Lord’s actions back to him.
