--- Chapter 186 ---

Baek Ain threaded over the sky and landed on the area where he left his companion.

He smiled when seeing Qing Lin casually sitting on a rock, waving her legs back and forth as the subordinates of the Southern Dragon King beneath her were on their knees.

They have fallen to her eyes' power.

"Your ability has become much more powerful now." Baek Ain appeared beside Qing Lin.

Qing Lin giggled, "Compared to hubby, my power is still inferior."

Baek Ain shook his head because Qing Lin always liked to stay humble before him. Of course, she wouldn't be passive when around her sister-wives.

Qing Lin might be the youngest, but that doesn't mean she was a weak little rabbit. Even a rabbit knows how to bite, you know?

Baek Ain stared at his disciples and saw them sprawling on the ground with some mud and dirt on their bodies.

"Thanks for giving them a little training." He added with a chuckle.

"It's nothing. I only let the girls fight a peak Half-Saint Realm Expert for a few minutes. They held themselves well." Qing Lin commented with an amused expression. "To be honest, with the Thunder Activation Art you gave, their growth speed is absurdly fast already."

Baek Ain nodded but didn't say anything further. The talents of Ancient Clans' Heiress are unquestionable, and even if their Dou God's blood is thin, their raw aptitude would still exceed 'common' people.

It would be weird if they didn't achieve something under the super teacher, that's Baek Ain.

Baek Ain grabbed a green-patterned pill and crushed it with his hand, transforming it into smoke. He controlled the smoke and utilized it to heal his disciples.

"Huh?" Yao Ling'er gasped because of her stamina, and Dou Qi recovered rapidly.

Huo Zhi and Gu Xun'er also noticed this sudden change in recovery speed, smelling a pleasant aroma in the air.

"Clean yourself. We will continue our journey in five minutes." Baek Ain ordered while sitting beside Qing Lin.

Huo Zhi raised her hand and asked, "T-Teacher, what happened to the Southern Dragon King?"

Although Southern Dragon King rarely goes outside, the title 'Dragon King' is not a joking matter because of its status and strength.

Baek Ain stared at Huo Zhi and answered, "He's dead."

"..." Yao Ling'er.

"..." Gu Xun'er.

"..." Huo Zhi.

W-What? Their teacher is actually this strong??

They stared at him dumbly, which caused Baek Ain's mouth to twitch slightly.

"Don't look at me like that." He said bitterly. "In the far future, a Dou Saint wouldn't be a problem for you guys."

"Even Ling'er would decimate ten Southern Dragon Kings without having to lift her finger."

"R-Really, Teacher? I can do that?" Yao Ling'er eyes lit up.

Baek Ain waved his hand, "I never lied about this kind of thing. Although you didn't inherit my Martial Path, it doesn't mean you are weak."

"Don't look down on the Alchemist Path. We are harder to kill than cockroaches because of our skill sets."

Jumping joyfully like a little girl, Yao Ling'er skipped somewhere to wash up. The same goes for Huo Zhi and Gu Xun'er as they contemplated Baek Ain's words.

Five minutes later, they continued their journey.

Along the way to the center of the floating island, they encountered several groups of people, and they ran away upon seeing Baek Ain for some reason.

To be precise, they caught a glimpse of Baek Ain and Roc's Spine(his spear) and then ran away.

At first, Baek Ain thought it was weird.

However, as he questioned some people, he understood that people had given him another cool moniker.

"Dragon-Slaying Ghost Thunder Speed."

"Unrivaled Spear God." Baek Ain grinned slightly.

"They aren't that bad titles." Even Qing Lin and the three disciples agreed.

Moving to the north, they finally arrived at the vast grassland with a massive tree in the center.

Unfortunately, there is still one last barrier around the perimeter of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, which prevents anyone from reaching it.

"Father!" Gu Xun'er shouted upon spotting a familiar-looking man in the Gu Clan's group.

"Xun'er." The Heroine's father smiled and waved his hand gently.

He appeared to be around forty years old or so. He looked just like an ordinary middle-aged man with hair that started becoming white. His clothes were 'ordinary' themed with blue and white robes.

He didn't have the high and mighty aura that one expected from a leader of the Ancient Clan. On the contrary, the smile that appeared on his face caused one to feel somewhat peaceful.

Huo Zhi and Yao Ling'er also spotted their fellow clan members nearby.

"Go. I'll check the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree before greeting the seniors of your clan." Baek Ain said while shaking his head.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

As the three ladies visited their respective clan groups, Baek Ain and Qing Lin landed near the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

[Ding! You have reached the outer perimeter of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree!]

[Do you want to Sign In?]

Baek Ain rolled his eyes, "No."

Come on, why would he waste his daily Sign In here?

There is a better place to Sign In later, such as the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's core area.

Qing Lin poked the barrier with her finger and said, "Hmm, this barrier is quite strong. Weirdly, this isn't an array but a natural barrier formed by the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's nature energy."

"Nature is a wonderful thing." Baek Ain gazed at the ancient tree.

Bodhisattva Ancient Tree is a massive, grand-looking tree with a towering height of seven hundred meters and a couple of hundred meters wide. Its roots probably covered the whole floating island.

The main tree is thicker than Pill Tower, and the branches are ten times of that adult's body.

Several vines covered its light brown bark, and the lush green leaves danced due to the gentle breezes.

Baek Ain activated Origin Ashen Eyes, seeing the spirit of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree sitting in a meditative position.

Its entire body 'literally' sturdy vines with leaves covering some private areas. Well, the gender is kind of vague, though.

As if the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's spirit felt Baek Ain's gaze, it opened its eyes and revealed a pair of green eyes made from pure nature energy.

Yet those Green Eyes give off the feeling of enlightenment, Awakening, and Being itself.

They have a strange contest for a few seconds before the spirit smiles weakly and closes its eyes again.

Baek Ain also closed his eyes, feeling his senses become more extensive than before. It's just a few seconds, and the effect of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree already shocked Baek Ain.

No wonder the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree is also called the Knowledge Reincarnation Tree.

At the same time, Baek Ain also felt the 'unknown visitor' hiding in the pocket space. The mysterious female cultivator is 'currently' staring at him curiously from her pocket space, unknowingly revealing her own location.

Not far away, Baek Ain sensed the Protagonist's presence with his companions.

Baek Ain turned around and saw the team of five from Gu Clan, Yao Clan, and Yan Clan approaching him.

"Grandmaster Lin." The leaders of the Gu Clan and Yan Clan greeted him.

"Brother Lin, we met again." Yao Dan laughed excitedly.

"Brother Dan." Baek Ain cupped his hand to Yao Dan.

He glanced at Gu Xun'er's Father and Huo Zhi's elder, "Clan Leader Gu Yuan, Elder Huo Ling."

"Nice to meet you."

"Sorry for not greeting you earlier. I'm too focused on the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree." Baek Ain put on a humble and troubled look.

"Haha, it's okay." Gu Yuan responded with a laugh.

"Yes, it's okay. Grandmaster Lin's observation skills must be better than ours, so I didn't dare to disturb you." Yan Clan's Elder, Huo Ling, added afterward.

Huo Ling is a beautiful woman with a tempting smile and body.

Her middle-aged attractive appearance was 'thoroughly' filled with a matured allure. She has similarities with Huo Zhi, such as her scarlet-colored hair and ruby-like eyes.

'Teacher Lin, Elder Ling is my maternal aunt.' Huo Zhi sent a sound transmission to Baek Ain.

'Oh, so that's why.' Baek Ain acknowledged the bond.

"I heard you makes some commotion and names for yourself." Yao Dan suddenly commented.

"Oh, yes. I did hear people calling you 'Dragon-Slaying Ghost Thunder Spear' and 'Unrivaled Spear God' after you killed the Southern Dragon King." Gu Yuan was interested in this topic. "Grandmaster Lin, your strength actually exceeded my expectation."

"I only know about your high Alchemy's Achievements, after all." He put on emphasize on the achievement part because Baek Ain made the first 10th Tier Pill ever in the Dou Qi Continent.

"Haha, it's nothing." Baek Ain responded with a hint of proudness.

Huo Ling also surprised by Baek Ain's prowess, but she didn't praise him.

She warned him instead, "Grandmaster Lin, you have killed the Southern Dragon King and everyone know about it. You must be careful from now on because the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe might issue killing order soon."

"Thanks for the warning. I'll keep that in mind." Baek Ain took the advice. Even though he wasn't that worried if the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe really sent more experts to kill him. Hehe, those dragon-blooded experts will be a great nutrients for Baek Ain's Behemoth Bloodline.

They conversed until a group from the Hall of Souls arrived at the center area. Everyone's expression darkened when they saw five black-robed people land on the ground.

"As expected, the Hall of Souls also wanted the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree..." Gu Yuan frowned slightly. He still has bad blood with the Hall of Souls, considering they had attacked his clan members months ago.

Huo Ling lamented, "There will be chaos soon."

"Yeah, this will be tough. Don't you think so, Brother Lin?" Yao Dan gazed at Baek Ain.

"Well..." Baek Ain put on a thoughtful expression. "Let's just see what they are bringing to us first."

'I hope it's not boring.' He added in his heart.
