Luo Li and Jun Moxiao are brought to a hidden underground palace by Principal Mo Ying. There, they meet Long Jiu, a disciple of the Dragon God Sect's Black Dragon Guards, who has been preserved in a stone for 10,000 years. Long Jiu is shocked to learn that Luo Li is the current Sect Master and that their thirteenth-generation ancestor, Ye Yun, is still alive.

“Sect Master, where is the current thirteenth-generation Sect Master? May I meet him?”

Long Jiu approached Luo Li, rubbing his hands with excitement.

Luo Li is the current Sect Master.

And Ye Yun is the thirteenth-generation Sect Master, so to make a distinction, they have changed the way they address him.

“The ancestor went to the Divine Land three years ago and hasn’t returned yet.”

Luo Li’s eyes turned a bit dim. The thought of the ancestor filled her heart with longing.

“Senior Long Jiu, my senior sister and I are disciples of the 298th generation, so we refer to the thirteenth-generation Sect Master as the ancestor…”

Jun Moxiao added from the side.

“I understand.”

Long Jiu scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

The gap between the thirteenth and the 298th generation is too vast.

Now, they can only make some distinctions in terms of address.

“Principal Mo Ying, take the Sect Master and her junior brother and leave Flying Dragon Academy immediately. Find a safe place to settle temporarily…”

Long Jiu said to Mo Ying.

“Ancestor…”

Mo Ying hesitated.

“The Sect Master’s safety comes first.”

Long Jiu’s expression grew serious, and he said solemnly, “Although Ruthless Palace is assisting us this time, we are opposing an Eternal-level force like the Shen Yun Sect. Flying Dragon Academy might face an unprecedented crisis, and I don’t want anything to happen to the Sect Master.”

“I understand, ancestor.”

Mo Ying nodded solemnly.

Luo Li and Jun Moxiao exchanged a glance, their hearts in sync.

“Senior Long Jiu, since Flying Dragon Academy and the Dragon God Sect have such deep ties, as the Sect Master, I cannot leave. I must stand and fight alongside everyone…”

Luo Li said as she stepped forward.

“Absolutely not, Sect Master! Eternal-level forces are too powerful. Even if we at Flying Dragon Academy give it our all, it’s uncertain whether we could withstand their attack…”

Long Jiu became anxious, his voice rising.

“No, I will fight with Flying Dragon Academy.”

Luo Li said stubbornly.

“Sect Master, it really won’t do.”

Long Jiu hurriedly waved his hand.

“Am I the Sect Master, or are you the Sect Master? Senior Long Jiu, if you still recognize me as the Sect Master of the Dragon God Sect, then let me stay and fight alongside Flying Dragon Academy!”

Luo Li said resolutely.

“Right, we want to stay, Senior Long Jiu, Principal Mo Ying.”

Jun Moxiao said loudly.

Seeing their determined attitudes, Long Jiu sighed helplessly.

Even a fourteenth-generation disciple like him must obey the Sect Master’s orders.

“Don’t worry; Flying Dragon Academy isn’t that easy to topple.”

Luo Li said with a smile.

Even if it’s an Eternal-level force like the Shen Yun Sect, or ten Eternal-level forces, they’re not enough to be a concern.

As long as she and Jun Moxiao are threatened, Little Silkworm will naturally take action.

In the ancestor’s carriage, there are quite a few demon beasts above the True God Realm. Any one of them coming down is enough to quell this storm.

Long Jiu clenched his fists, his bones cracking as he spoke heroically, “Indeed, my Flying Dragon Academy won’t fall so easily. I’ve lived nearly a hundred thousand years; at this last moment of my life, it’s time to fight!”

“Senior Long Jiu, do you only have a few decades left?”

Luo Li asked softly.

“Yes.”

Long Jiu smiled gently and comforted, “I’ve lived long enough, surviving for a hundred thousand years in the Original Stone. Sect Master, for Flying Dragon Academy this time, I must make it count!”

“Alas, if only the ancestor were here, he would have a solution…”

Luo Li sighed.

The Xuan bird was also sealed in the Original Stone back then, with little life left. The ancestor resolved it as soon as he took action.

At Wen Temple Square.

Ye Yun suddenly extended his hand, and a small black bird appeared in his palm.

Fortunately, there weren’t many people left in Wen Temple Square, and no one noticed his actions.

“Master?”

Suddenly appearing in his master’s hand from the carriage, the Xuan bird was startled.

“Do you remember the Black Dragon Guards?”

Ye Yun asked with a smile.

“Of course, I remember.” The Xuan bird replied.

“Long Jiu is still alive. He founded Flying Dragon Academy. Like you, he was sealed in the Original Stone, and now he only has a few decades left to live. Deliver this bottle of Water of Life to him…”

Ye Yun said with a gentle laugh.

In his palm, a small bottle suddenly appeared.

“Is Black Dragon Guard Long Jiu still alive?”

The Xuan bird was extremely shocked; it was monumental news.

It hurriedly picked up the small bottle.

“I’ll send you to the array outside where he is. Just wait outside, and as for the Water of Life in this small bottle, just say it’s what you had left last time…”

Ye Yun instructed with a smile.

Then, with a flick of his hand, the Xuan bird disappeared.

In the next moment.

The Xuan bird appeared in a foggy valley.

It hovered mid-air, waiting quietly.

After a short time, the fog surged, and several figures emerged.

“Who goes there?”

Seeing a black bird in the sky emitting the aura of the seventh layer of the Eternal Realm, Mo Ying was startled.

“Long Jiu!”

The Xuan bird shouted.

Long Jiu paused, then discerning closely, said, “Is that you? Are you the Xuan bird from the woods?”

“Indeed!”

The Xuan bird flew over and transformed into a young man in black, bowing to Luo Li.

“Greetings, Sect Master.”

“Little bird, how did you come here?”

Luo Li asked in surprise.

“The Elder celestial silkworm sent me…”

The Xuan bird thought for a moment and said.

With the master’s previous instruction, it had no choice but to let the Immortal Divine Silkworm take the blame.

“Xuan bird, have you lived for a hundred thousand years?”

Long Jiu asked in surprise.

“Yes, I hid inside the Original Stone. Later, I met the master and was reborn…”

The Xuan bird said with a smile.

“Master?”

Long Jiu paused, confused.

“Master is Ye Yun, the thirteenth-generation Sect Master of our Dragon God Sect, but he is no longer the Sect Master, so we all call him Master…”

The Xuan bird said.

Long Jiu smiled knowingly, “Then I should also call him Master from now on…”

“Indeed!”

The Xuan bird laughed along.

“Long Jiu, you don’t have much life left…”

Looking at the skinny Long Jiu, recalling his majestic presence as one of the top ten Black Dragon Golden Guards a hundred thousand years ago,

The Xuan bird couldn’t help but sigh, flipping its hand to place a small bottle in Long Jiu’s hand.

“Drink some Water of Life from the small bottle, and all your lost life will be fully replenished…”

The Xuan bird said.

“Is this water truly as miraculous as you say?”

Long Jiu was stunned.

“Back then, I also emerged from the Original Stone with only a hundred years of life left. After drinking this Water of Life, everything was fine!”

The Xuan bird said with a smile.

“This…”

Holding the small bottle, Long Jiu’s hand trembled a little, still finding it hard to believe.

Luo Li blinked, her face full of joy as she asked, “Little bird, is the ancestor back?”

“No, this is what I had left last time…”

The Xuan bird scratched its head, explaining somewhat embarrassedly.

“Oh…”

Luo Li nodded, disappointment written on her face.

At this moment, Long Jiu opened the bottle cap and was immediately astounded by the surging aura of life.

What kind of sacred medicine is this?

“Long Jiu, this Water of Life is extremely potent. You must drink it in moderation, or you risk your body exploding…”

Remembering how he overindulged in the past, the Xuan bird quickly warned.
