Chapter 44: Su Wanyi Awakens from a Dream

Chapter 44: Su Wanyi Awakens from a Dream

Traversing the endless void, Su Wanyi was enveloped entirely in a dazzling white light, her vision completely blocked by the blinding radiance.

When the surrounding white light finally dissipated, her feet suddenly touched the ground. Su Wanyi stood there blankly, her eyes wide with astonishment, unable to collect her thoughts for a moment.

"Eldest Senior Sister!"

Seeing the Eldest Senior Sister she had yearned for day and night, Luo Li could no longer hold back. Tears gushed forth as she opened her arms and rushed forward to embrace Su Wanyi.

Jun Mosu could not control his emotions either, and ran over with tear-filled eyes to stand beside the two of them.

"Eldest Senior Sister... you're finally back."

Jun Mosu laughed and cried at the same time, his expression ecstatic and unhinged.

"How touching!"

The large black horse gently nudged the top of the large black cat's head and sighed.

At this moment, the large black cat had its bright black feline eyes widened in absolute terror as it watched that familiar figure reappear out of thin air.

This deity-like Patriarch...

What terrifying realm of cultivation could this possibly be?

Barehanded, he tore through space and effortlessly plucked someone from tens of billions of miles away, bringing them back completely unharmed.

In the large black cat's understanding, only one word could possibly befit the Patriarch before it:

God!

This Patriarch was undoubtedly an invincible deity across the world!

At this thought, the large black cat's entire body trembled uncontrollably with excitement. Never in its wildest dreams had it expected to witness a legendary deity in its lifetime; this was simply too shocking!

On second thought, how could the Cangnan Continent... possibly have a god?

Even the most powerful Eternal-tier sects did not possess deities among their ranks!

"Junior Sister, Junior Brother, am I dreaming? Why am I seeing you here?" Su Wanyi asked, frowning in utter confusion.

Luo Li released her grip, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with joyful surprise, "Eldest Senior Sister, it was our Patriarch who snatched you right out of the Myriad Beasts Divine Sect!"

The Patriarch?

Su Wanyi was stunned for a moment.

The lineage of the Divine Dragon Sect had withered long ago, and past Patriarchs had been buried in the earth for who knows how many years.

When on earth did another Patriarch appear?

Furthermore, this place was countless billions of miles away from the Liegtian Dynasty. Over such an unimaginable distance, what kind of cultivation level would it take to bring her here completely unscathed?

Seeing that her Eldest Senior Sister was still in a daze, Luo Li hurriedly pulled her hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a smile, "Eldest Senior Sister, look over there... That is our Patriarch, the thirteenth Sect Master of our Divine Dragon Sect."

"Ah?" Su Wanyi snapped out of her daze like one waking from a dream, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Luo Li's gaze.

A dozen meters away stood a young man in white.

The young man in white possessed chiseled facial features, deep and profound eyes, and flowing black hair. He looked like an immortal who had stepped right out of a painting, radiating an unimaginably ethereal aura from his entire being.

"Junior Sister, is he... really our Patriarch?" Su Wanyi lowered her head and whispered.

She remembered that the thirteenth Sect Master of the Divine Dragon Sect had supposedly died one hundred thousand years ago, didn't he?

"Patriarch didn't die; he has come back to life."

Luo Li was so excited that the sequence of her words became jumbled.

She hadn't quite figured out whether the Patriarch had died first and then lived again, or... if he had never died at all in the first place.

Seeing that both of her senior sisters were speaking incoherently and missing their cues, Jun Mosu quickly interjected, "Eldest Senior Sister, this is truly our Patriarch. Hurry up and pay your respects."

Hearing Jun Mosu's words, Su Wanyi finally gathered her wits.

She quickly withdrew her hand from Luo Li's grip, walked forward in quick strides, knelt before Ye Yun, and kowtowed respectfully three times.

"Su Wanyi pays respects to the Patriarch."

"Rise!" Ye Yun smiled faintly, a stream of spiritual energy drifting outward to gently lift Su Wanyi to her feet.

"From today onwards, the three of you senior sister and junior brothers will never have to be separated again." Ye Yun said with a smile.

Upon hearing the Patriarch's words, Luo Li, Jun Mosu, and Su Wanyi were both astonished and overjoyed, their emotions exceptionally complex. The three of them embraced one another, crying and laughing simultaneously.

Over the past decade or more, following their master, they had traveled from place to place, leading a precarious and displaced existence while dodging the relentless pursuits of various enemies. They had lived truly miserable, inhuman lives.

Now, not only had their sect's Patriarch resurrected, but he had also provided them with the most formidable backing imaginable.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Yun watched the three of them embracing and weeping bitterly, feeling a deep sense of emotional resonance.

...

When the crying subsided and the three senior sister and junior siblings regained their composure, they wiped the tears from their faces.

Only then did Su Wanyi carefully examine her junior brother and junior sister.

To her astonishment, she discovered that Luo Li had already reached the tenth layer of the Soul Molding Realm.

As for Jun Mosu's cultivation, it had reached the peak of the tenth layer of the Soul Molding Realm, a mere step away from the Divine Bridge Realm.

"How... how did your cultivation break through so rapidly?" Su Wanyi asked, her face full of shock.

"Because we have the Patriarch!" Luo Li puffed out her small lips and smiled proudly.

"..."

Su Wanyi blinked.

No matter how hard she racked her brains at this moment, she could not fathom what kind of heaven-defying celestial treasures could possibly allow Luo Li and Jun Mosu to break through at such a miraculous speed.

"Su Wanyi, your innate talent is no less inferior to theirs. Your future is boundless." Ye Yun looked at the bewildered Su Wanyi and smiled softly.

"Patriarch, do you also have a way to make me like my junior brother and junior sister?" Su Wanyi asked with a trembling voice, her exquisite face flushed red with excitement.

Ye Yun smiled and nodded.

He produced a small vial and slowly handed it over.

Luo Li eagerly hurried over, pressed close to Su Wanyi's ear, and whispered, "Eldest Senior Sister, the Patriarch has Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood. If you consume just a single drop, you will be able to break through rapidly."

Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood?

How could that possibly be?

Su Wanyi was deeply alarmed. Her eyes widened as she said, "Patriarch, weren't all of our sect's Divine Dragon Essence Blood destroyed in the hands of the two hundred and fiftieth Sect Master?"

Ye Yun smiled.

The quick-witted Luo Li hurriedly explained, "Senior Sister, what the sect destroyed was only ordinary Divine Dragon Essence Blood... whereas what the Patriarch holds is Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood. Listen carefully, it's Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood!"

"Oh."

Su Wanyi nodded blankly, as if turned to stone.

Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood—

These four words left her mind completely numb with shock.

As a disciple of the Divine Dragon Sect, how could she have never heard of Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood?

However, hadn't Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood only existed in ancient legends?

Seeing her Eldest Senior Sister's expression, Luo Li was reminded of her own former self.

She leaned in closer and whispered, "Eldest Senior Sister, do you know? There are over a hundred thousand drops in that small vial!"

"Good heavens! There's that much Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood?!" Su Wanyi was so excited she almost fainted on the spot.

"Eldest Senior Sister, you must pull yourself together! Don't be like Junior Brother and pass out the moment you hear about it!" Luo Li chuckled, hooking her arm through Su Wanyi's and shaking her playfully.

Hearing this, the young face of Jun Mosu, standing nearby, instantly turned bright red.

Back then, he had actually fainted twice. Thinking about it now, it was truly embarrassing.

The large black cat, crouching beneath the horse's hooves, heard the four words "Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood," and its two eyes began to gleam with a fierce, brilliant light.

The legendary Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood...

It had never once appeared throughout the entire Cangnan Continent...

The large black cat licked its lips, desperately wishing it could also taste the flavor of the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.

*Thud...*

A black horse hoof landed squarely on top of the large black cat's head, pressing its feline face flat against the ground.

"You little cat, don't harbor any crooked thoughts, or Lord Horse here will just kill you outright!" the large black horse said in an irritable tone.
