Chapter 1705 Goodbye Sirius

Chapter 1705: Farewell to the Heavenly Wolf.

In the forest where Li Hongyou lived, Li Luo encountered the six-tailed Heavenly Wolf—no, strictly speaking, the eight-tailed Heavenly Wolf—after six or seven years of absence.

Amidst the vast mountains, the eight-tailed Heavenly Wolf, as massive as a mountain, was battling a red dragon. A violent energy storm raged across the heavens and earth, shattering mountaintops one after another.

The two behemoths clashed, their roars deafening the heavens, and the vast forest was ravaged by the aftermath.

Standing atop the mountain, Li Luo observed the dragon-wolf clash. From his perspective, both were at the eighth-grade Marquis level, making them evenly matched.

The red dragon’s body was formidable, its scales like black iron, while the current Heavenly Wolf was no less exceptional, its claws like razor-sharp divine weapons capable of tearing through rocky peaks with ease. Furthermore, faint dragon scales could be seen emerging from its body, enhancing its defenses.

Therefore, even against a true dragon, the eight-tailed Heavenly Wolf held its own, growing stronger with each battle.

However, it was clear that the two sides weren’t engaged in a true fight, but rather a training exercise.

After a long, fierce battle, the Red Dragon was ultimately unable to defeat the Heavenly Wolf. With a low roar, it transformed into a burst of crimson light and pierced the air, while the Eight-Tailed Heavenly Wolf

unleashed a wolf howl that shook the mountains. But just as it was brimming with pride, it felt a sense of connection. With a sweep of its wolf eyes, it spotted Li Luo and Li Hongyou atop the distant mountaintop.

Its gaze paused on Li Luo, and a look of astonishment filled it. When Li Luo and Li Hongyou had parted ways, Li Luo had implanted a “birth lock” in it, so there was a special connection between them.

However, the shock lasted only a moment. The Eight-Tailed Heavenly Wolf twisted its body and leaped across the air, its massive form rapidly shrinking until it was only a few feet away from Li Luo and Li Hongyou.

“Master,”

the Eight-Tailed Heavenly Wolf lowered its once proud head toward Li Luo and spoke in human language, a surprisingly respectful address.

This wasn’t simply due to the constraints of the “Birth Lock,” but rather because the Eight-Tailed Heavenly Wolf could now clearly sense the terrifying pressure emanating from Li Luo’s body. It knew that in just six or seven years, Li Luo had grown to a terrifying level, their two opponents now completely on a different level.

Back in the dark cave, the Eight-Tailed Heavenly Wolf still had only three tails, but in its eyes, Li Luo was as weak as an ant, easily crushed with a single wave of its claws. Although Pang Qianyuan’s tactics later sealed the Heavenly Wolf within the bracelet, forcing it to become Li Luo’s trump card and protect him,

the Heavenly Wolf always maintained its pride as a powerful being and never bowed to Li Luo.

It felt that Li Luo wasn’t yet worthy enough… But now, everything was different.

Li Luo had completely transformed, becoming a truly supreme powerhouse. While its own progress had been remarkable, the gap between them and Li Luo was growing ever more terrifying.

So, at that moment, the Heavenly Wolf realized that possessing such a master might be its greatest opportunity.

Li Luo was slightly startled by the Heavenly Wolf’s bowed head, then smiled and said, “Brother Wolf, there’s no need for this. We’ve known each other since humble beginnings, and you’ve repeatedly saved me from danger. In my heart, you’re my friend, too.”

The Eight-Tailed Heavenly Wolf swung its tail. Li Luo’s words stirred its heart, but it stubbornly called out, “Master.”

Li Luo

was helpless. Li Hongyou, standing nearby, whispered, “Spirited beasts naturally revere strength and believe in the strong. Your power now far exceeds the Heavenly Wolf’s comprehension. In its heart, you are its master for the rest of its life.”

Li Luo gazed at the Heavenly Wolf’s hopeful eyes, then remained silent for a moment. He didn’t continue to decline, saying, “Because you called me Master, I’ll take you to the King Realm no matter what I say.”

Upon hearing this, the Eight-Tailed Heavenly Wolf let out an ecstatic howl. Given Li Luo’s current strength and status, having already spoken, its future ascension to the King Realm was surely imminent.

A single call of “Master” and a new King Realm—if word of this spread to the Heavenly Wolf Clan, even the Heavenly Wolf Royal Family would be lining up to kowtow.

Li Luo smiled, then turned to Li Hongyou and asked, “Senior Hongyou, do you have any more detailed information on the ‘Ten Thousand Dragons Returning to Their Ancestral Blood Sacrifice’?”

Li Hongyou turned and stepped into the mountaintop stone pavilion. The view from this spot was excellent, offering a panoramic view of the vast mountains and sea. During her years in the Dragon Clan, she had often enjoyed sitting in meditation here.

Li Luo followed her into the stone pavilion and sat down. Li Hongyou leisurely brewed tea and poured it for him. Then he slowly said, “The Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Sacrifice is actually an advanced version of the Ten Thousand Dragons Festival. Do you remember that Lady Zhen Fu sent me to the Pharmacist Jade Dragon Clan so that I could preside over the Ten Thousand Dragons Festival in the future?”

“But no one could have imagined that the world would change so drastically in just a few years. In order to deal with the aliens and demons that are rampant in the world, the dragon clan decided to upgrade the Ten Thousand Dragons Festival, which takes place every three hundred years, into the Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Sacrifice, in order to strengthen the clan’s strength in preparation for the drastic changes.”

“For your current realm, even if you are at the second level of the Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Sacrifice, I’m afraid it won’t bring you much benefit. Only at the third level will the true ancestral blood appear. If you obtain it, you can strengthen your foundation and increase your success rate for a future breakthrough to the Heavenly King.”

“This is also the main reason why Clan Leader Zhen Linshuang doesn’t want you to enter. She doesn’t want to share the ancestral blood because she sees it as a great opportunity to advance to the Heavenly King in the future.”

Li Luo said calmly, “Compared to Great Grandmother Zhen Fu, Zhen Linshuang is still a little short-sighted. If I get the opportunity of the Dragon Clan and have this cause and effect, if the

Dragon Clan is in trouble in the future, can I still ignore it?” Li Hongyou smiled and said, “This should indeed be the reason why Great Grandmother Zhen Fu went to great lengths to get you a place and join the Dragon Clan. However, although the Great Grandmother has a heavy say in the Dragon Clan, she cannot have everything under the sun, especially since Zhen Linshuang has an even more ancient Heavenly Dragon King behind her. His seniority and strength are greater than those of the Great Grandmother. That’s why Zhen Linshuang dared to risk the Great Grandmother’s wrath and try to stop you.”

“But now that you have drunk the ‘Dragon Wine’ and become a friend of the Dragon Clan, Clan Leader Zhen Linshuang has no reason to stop you.”

“However, this does not mean that you can obtain the ancestral blood.”

Li Luo frowned slightly and said, “Why?”

“Because in the third level of the Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Ceremony, if you want to obtain the ancestral blood, you need to meet one condition. That is, you need the help of the dragon priest who presides over the Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Ceremony to gather blood for you. If this step is missing, you will not be able to obtain the ancestral blood no matter what.” Li Hongyou explained.

“Dragon Priest?” Li Luo was bewildered. What was this Dragon Priest? How could he possibly know him?

Seeing Li Luo’s bewilderment, a playful smile crossed Li Hongyou’s stoic face. She said, “What a coincidence! The one sitting before you is the Dragon Priest presiding over this Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Ceremony.”

Li Luo was startled, then overjoyed, wanting to pinch Li Hongyou’s cheek and call her “my dear.

” “Perhaps it’s not pure coincidence. Great-Grandmother Zhen Fu sent me to the Medicine Master Jade Dragon Clan, perhaps anticipating this day.” Li Hongyou smiled faintly. “There are three Dragon Priests presiding over this Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Ceremony, all King-level powerhouses of the Medicine Master Jade Dragon Clan. I’m the least experienced among them.”

“The other two Dragon Priests will undoubtedly help Clan Leader Zhen Linshuang, giving her a significant advantage.”

Li Luo was unconcerned. “I’m content to get a share. I’m not aiming for all the ancestral blood.”

He wasn’t as overbearing as Zhen Linshuang, who wouldn’t even want to participate.

Li Hongyou nodded slightly and smiled, “If that’s the case, then the difficulty will be much less. However, if you encounter Clan Leader Zhen Linshuang on the third level, you’ll still have to demonstrate your skills appropriately. This Clan Leader has an extremely strong and fierce personality. Only if you appear more assertive than her will she restrain herself.”

She had been with the Dragon Clan for many years and had many interactions with Zhen Linshuang, so she understood her character very well.

“Also, besides Clan Leader Zhen Linshuang, the other top Dragon Clan members, such as Great Elder Ao Yan and others, will likely participate and share a small portion of the ancestral blood. However, they probably won’t dare to compete too much with the Clan Leader, so they’ll actually put more pressure on you. You’ll need to be careful then.”

Li Luo heard this, picked up the fragrant tea that Li Hongyou had brewed, took two sips, and nodded.

…

Deep within the Dragon Territory, amidst a vast expanse of water, a purple-gold palace stood, ablaze with a thousand golden lights, dazzling the eyes.

Crash!

At this moment, the sea surged into a vast, surging wave. A colossal dragon figure suddenly broke through the water, transforming into a gigantic purple-gold celestial dragon, unleashing a boundless draconic might.

A moment later, the purple-gold dragon descended in a stream of light, landing in front of the purple-gold palace. It was Zhen Linshuang.

Her beautiful purple-gold eyes, brimming with domineering power, gazed upon a figure standing before the palace. It was the Great Elder Ao Yan.

“Clan Leader,” Ao Yan bowed in greeting.

However, receiving no response, he glanced up to see Zhen Linshuang, her brows furrowed as she gazed at him. He quickly offered an apologetic smile and retreated, retreating down the palace steps.

This clan leader possessed an arrogant and overbearing personality, deeply ingrained in his mind about the supremacy of bloodline. Ao Yan was merely a member of the lowest black dragon bloodline. Though he had steadily climbed to his current position, earning the admiration of many powerful dragons, he knew that in Zhen Linshuang’s eyes, he would always be just a black dragon.

The Purple Gold Palace, however, was Zhen Linshuang’s private domain, and she disliked other dragons from entering.

“Don’t blame me, Clan Leader. I was negligent,” Ao Yan said apologetically.

Zhen Linshuang’s composure gradually returned to normal. She didn’t care what Ao Yan was thinking. After all, the Celestial Dragon was the supreme ruler of the Dragon Clan, and two of the three Celestial Kings of the Dragon Clan were from the Celestial Dragon Clan.

“It’s alright. Li Luo’s Celestial Dragon bloodline is incredibly pure and ancient. It’s truly beyond belief. If he were a member of my Celestial Dragon Clan, I could even unite with him and produce a Celestial Dragon offspring with the most perfect bloodline.”

But then she shook her head and said, “But unfortunately… From the looks of him, he’s definitely coming for the ancestral bloodline. During the blood sacrifice, you can try to intervene.”

Ao Yan muttered in agreement.

Zhen Linshuang glanced at him and said, “I heard you’ve been pursuing Li Hongyou for years?”

Ao Yan nodded, somewhat embarrassed.

“You’ve taken a fancy to her Pharmacist Jade Dragon bloodline and want to use it to transform your own, right? Great Elder Ao Yan is quite ambitious,” Zhen Linshuang said with a faint smile.

Ao Yan’s face seemed to flush slightly, and he responded with a dry laugh.

But Zhen Linshuang didn’t say anything more. After a few casual words, she waved her hand, indicating that he could leave early and not linger in front of her Purple Gold Palace.

Ao Yan bowed respectfully and retreated, turning to leave the Purple Gold Palace. After flying out of the sea, he slowly landed on the top of a mountain.

His respectful expression gradually became distorted and

ferocious. Deep in his eyes, rage flowed.

Every time he was with Zhen Linshuang, he could clearly feel the pervasive contempt and ridicule. For so many years, she had always been like this… Even though he had climbed to this point, he still couldn’t change her inner contempt for his Black Dragon bloodline.

Huh.

After a long time, Ao Yan raised his head and exhaled deeply. His breath was filled with the smell of destruction.
