Chapter 1953 Origin

??Amidst the lingering smoke and debris from the explosion, two figures clashed, their auras radiating the power of High Gods.

"Feng Ling," a slender woman in a flowing white robe called out, her voice strained but resolute. "I've told you countless times you've misunderstood me. There is nothing between me and Ye Xuan."

Feng Ling, her crimson robes swirling around her, scoffed. "Spare me your lies, Nangong Yuxuan. Your manipulative ways won't fool me. Everyone in the Nine Heavens knows you for who you truly are—a shameless harlot who steals other women's husbands!"

Nangong Yuxuan, a flicker of despair visible through her veil. She remained silent and decided to leave. Her aura surged as her figure moved into the distance in the blink of an eye.

"Coward!" Feng Ling roared, her crimson blade a blur as she pursued.

"Such childish squabbling," Zhang Yu muttered, his lips curling in disgust. "Even at the pinnacle of power, these women bicker over trivial matters. It seems humanity's pettiness transcends even the boundaries of worlds."

Yun Lintian, however, furrowed his brow. Their conversation held a hidden clue: these women hailed from the Nine Heavens Realm, a location several days' travel away based on his star map. What could have brought them here? It was unreasonable for them to run this far.

As Nangong Yuxuan spotted the imposing Cloud Dragon Ark, a flicker of surprise flickered across her face. Such a powerful vessel was an unexpected sight in this remote region of space.

Without dwelling on it, she poured on the speed, aiming to distance herself from her pursuer.

Noticing the Ark, Feng Ling followed suit, masking her presence as best she could. Their trajectory led them directly towards the Nine Heavens Realm.

"Imagine the devastation a High God battle wreaks," Zhang Yu remarked softly. "A true god, I wouldn't be surprised if they could level entire realms with a thought."

Yun Yi nodded in agreement. His understanding of profound strength vastly improved since reaching the Lesser God Realm. "Anything below the True God level is indeed insignificant in their presence."

Yun Lintian didn't think about this matter further and declared. "Let's activate stealth mode."

Without a word, Yun Yi tapped a sequence on the control panel. The Cloud Dragon Ark shimmered, cloaked in a faint white light, and vanished into the vastness of space.

Yun Lintian returned to the lounge, intending to visit the Land of Beyond Heaven and inform Hongyue of the situation.

Upon entering the Land of Beyond Heaven, he was immediately greeted by the sight of Yun Niu, a familiar face he hadn't seen in a while.

"Niuniu?" Yun Lintian called out in a gentle voice.

Surprised by his arrival, Yun Niu broke into a wide, happy smile. "Big Brother Yun?"

She was no longer the young girl he remembered. Her features had matured into breathtaking beauty, and her character had transformed over the years. She now exuded a tranquil elegance, a stark contrast to her once childlike demeanor.

"Long time no see, Sister Qingqing, Sister Linlin," Yun Niu greeted the two women as she approached.

However, as she stood before him, Yun Lintian detected a peculiar anomaly within Yun Niu. He sensed an unexpected presence – a distinct dragon aura emanating from her being.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Yun Niu explained, "I recently discovered this myself. It seems I possess the bloodline of a dragon."

"How is this possible?" Yun Lintian inquired, his voice laced with confusion.

"I'm afraid I don't have the answers," Yun Niu replied, shaking her head in explanation. "Even Grandma Xia was unaware of this. She only mentioned being entrusted with me, an infant then, by the Beyond Heaven King."

Yun Lintian's brow furrowed deeply. "May I examine you further?"

"Of course," Yun Niu readily agreed, extending her arm towards him.

Yun Lintian grasped her wrist and meticulously scanned her body with his senses. A flicker of astonishment crossed his eyes as he murmured, "The Azure Dragon's bloodline? How is this even possible?"

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, Yun Lintian realized the purity of Yun Niu's bloodline was exceptional, rivaling his own and Long Qingxuan's. It was undoubtedly indicative of a second or third-generation lineage.

Just then, Long Qingxuan entered the Land of Beyond Heaven and briefly glanced at Yun Niu and Yun Lintian.

"Master," Yun Niu bowed deeply upon seeing her.

"You have progressed significantly," Long Qingxuan observed gently.

"Thank you, Master," Yun Niu replied with a pleased smile. "Niu'er has diligently continued her training over the years."

Yun Lintian turned to Long Qingxuan and inquired, "Are you aware of this?"

Long Qingxuan responded calmly, "Initially, I was not. It seems her dragon bloodline awakened after practicing the Dragon God Art."

"Could this mean your father secretly fathered her?" Yun Lintian curiously asked.

Long Qingxuan shook her head, replying, "I have no idea. My father never spoke of my mother or his lineage."

Yun Lintian's brows furrowed in surprise. "Your mother?"

He had always assumed Long Qingxuan was born from the power of the Primordial Azure Dragon God.

"We dragons differ from other divine beasts," Long Qingxuan explained. "While we possess the ability to create life through our power, such offspring are inherently weak. Unless compelled by necessity, we typically procreate in the traditional manner."

Nodding in comprehension, Yun Lintian recalled the Dragon God Realm within the Great Expanse. It was a possibility that Yun Niu originated from this realm, perhaps brought to the Beyond Heaven King.

Without further deliberation, he activated the Gate of Beyond Heaven, transporting himself and Yun Niu directly to Heavenly Cloud Mountain within the Azure World.

"Lintian," Yun Xia acknowledged his presence upon sensing his arrival.

Yun Lintian offered her a gentle greeting, "Grandma."

Yun Xia observed Long Qingxuan and Yun Niu, seemingly grasping the reason for their visit.

Anticipating his question, she stated, "When my master found Niu'er, she was bound by a peculiar seal. The seal only dissipated a few years ago."

"Her origin remained unknown until the emergence of the dragon bloodline within her."

After contemplating, Yun Lintian suggested, "Perhaps Niu'er originates from the Dragon God Realm."

"The Dragon God Realm?" Yun Xia echoed, perplexed.

Yun Lintian proceeded to explain about the Great Expanse and the current state of the Dragon God Realm.

A thoughtful expression crossed Yun Xia's face as she uttered, "The royal clan... it is a strong possibility."

Overwhelmed by the sudden revelation, Yun Niu struggled to process the information.

Yun Lintian gently placed a hand on her head, offering words of comfort, "It's alright. We're all here for you."
