Yun Wanshang successfully navigated her heavenly tribulations, forming a Nascent Soul. The Green Flood Dragon King appeared, intrigued by the Qilin Blood Marrow Yun Wanshang used. Lu Changsheng faced the king's greedy inquiries about the rare blood, deflecting him while watching Yun Wanshang endure her final Nascent Soul Heart Tribulation, which she successfully overcame.

"These days, the Flood Dragon King has worked hard."

Lu Changsheng, observing Yun Wanshang successfully reaching the Nascent Soul stage, immediately offered his sincere thanks to the nearby Green Flood Dragon King.

Although the Dragon King had not engaged in direct combat during this period, merely maintaining its presence was sufficient. The sheer Qi mechanism of a Fourth Rank Middle Stage Flood Dragon served as a formidable deterrent to numerous attacking Demon Kings.

"Now you owe me a favor. You must go and treat my sister. If you do not..."

The Green Flood Dragon King, with its half-human, half-flood dragon physique, stood imposingly tall, radiating an undeniable aura of a Demon King that imposed immense pressure. Without Lu Changsheng’s Chaos Body and Fourth Rank Physique, facing such a presence directly would have been a daunting challenge.

"Please rest assured, Dragon King. Once I have concluded my current matters and achieved the Nascent Soul stage myself, I shall seek you out to diagnose your sister’s condition."

Lu Changsheng affirmed with a solemn expression.

Though the Green Flood Dragon King had employed a degree of coercion, its assistance was undeniable, making Lu Changsheng committed to honoring his promise.

Furthermore, this situation is intertwined with a prophecy made by Meng Wuheng and his wife over four decades ago. Lu Changsheng is eager to understand if there’s a deeper significance to what they conveyed to the Green Flood Dragon King years prior.

As a practitioner of the Fourth Rank in Divination, he is well aware that Meng Wuheng would not reveal Heavenly Secrets without substantial reason.

After all, according to the principles of divination, divulging too much about Heavenly Secrets and interfering with others’ destinies can invoke a severe backlash from the Heavenly Dao itself.

This is precisely why many adept cultivators of divination tend to communicate in veiled terms, merely hinting at the underlying truths rather than stating them explicitly.

Lu Changsheng presented a Jade Talisman to the Green Flood Dragon King. "The Dragon King may use this Jade Talisman to contact me. How may I reach the Dragon King when the time comes?"

The Green Flood Dragon King accepted the Jade Talisman, examined it, and declared with a resonant voice, "Simply come to Green Flood Dragon Island when the time arrives."

Sensing that Lu Changsheng, as a member of the Human Race, might be unfamiliar with its location, the Flood Dragon King’s scaled claw gestured forward. "Continue one million miles from this point."

As it concluded, as if recalling an afterthought, it tossed a vibrant green scale towards Lu Changsheng. "Should you encounter any attacks from the Demon Race en route, present this Dragon Scale and proclaim my name; no demon will dare impede your progress."

Its pronouncement was forceful, like the ringing clash of metal, exuding a magnificent and commanding presence.

"Very well, Dragon King. Please be assured."

Lu Changsheng received the green scale, recognizing it as a part of the Green Flood Dragon King’s own being.

Should the need arise, he could even use this scale to curse the Dragon King if ill intentions were harbored.

"Human Clan cultivator, I have thoroughly noted your aura. Should you dare to deceive me..."

The Green Flood Dragon King’s gaze shifted from Lu Changsheng towards Split Wind Island, and a grin spread across its face, revealing rows of sharp, chilling teeth.

"Having given my word to the Dragon King, I shall naturally uphold it. Within a few years, I will return to settle this debt of gratitude."

Lu Changsheng remained unfazed by the Green Flood Dragon King’s veiled threat, his composure perfectly tranquil.

"You possess remarkable courage. I believe you."

The Green Flood Dragon King, witnessing Lu Changsheng’s steadfast demeanor, uttered no further words and plunged directly into the churning waves.

Its imposing figure seemed to meld seamlessly with the ocean, becoming elusive and vanishing from Lu Changsheng’s sight in mere moments.

The sheer display of power alone indicated to Lu Changsheng that this Green Flood Dragon King was far from an ordinary Fourth Rank Middle Stage Demon King.

It was likely on par with Shen Jianjia!

Observing the departure of the Green Flood Dragon King, Lu Changsheng prepared to return to Split Wind Island. However, Yun Wanshang, having successfully navigated her breakthrough, was already emerging from the island.

She was not clad in her usual elaborate and brightly colored attire, but rather in a set of dark, formidable armor.

This armor consisted of nine seamlessly integrated Tortoise Shell plates. The flowing lines of the shell-plate design accentuated her elegant physique perfectly.

Intricate carvings of fierce beasts adorned the surface of the Tortoise Shell, appearing so lifelike that one could almost perceive the beasts within them, poised to unleash an assault at any moment. This imbued her with an aura of unparalleled majesty and formidable power.

During the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, her usually meticulously arranged hair, adorned with a Colorful Phoenix Hairpin, had become somewhat disheveled.

Yet, this unkempt appearance, combined with her Nine Abysses Xuanwu Armor, lent her an air of commanding presence and refined power entirely new and striking.

"Lu Changsheng, are you unharmed? And who was that individual just now?"

Even while facing her tribulation, Yun Wanshang detected the Green Flood Dragon King's presence, recognizing it as a fearsome Demon King.

"I am alright."

Lu Changsheng gazed upon Yun Wanshang, her unparalleled beauty and refined bearing distinct from her usual self, his eyes reflecting both admiration and awe.

Having successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage, Yun Wanshang's outward appearance remained largely unchanged, yet her aura and captivating charm had ascended to an entirely new echelon.

"Congratulations, True Man, on your formation of the Nascent Soul. Henceforth, you shall be known as Caiyun True Monarch."

Lu Changsheng offered a hearty laugh as he extended his congratulations to Yun Wanshang before him.

"Congratulations, Senior, on achieving the Nascent Soul breakthrough and attaining the status of True Monarch!"

The five Nascent Soul Cultivators who had been stationed to guard the island witnessed this exchange and joined in congratulating Yun Wanshang in unison.

For the entirety of the past six months, Yun Wanshang's impending breakthrough and the subsequent tribulation had been their paramount concern.

After all, they had contended with wave after wave of Beast Tides, coupled with the presence of Fourth Rank Demon Kings.

The ultimate appearance of the Green Flood Dragon King had instilled in them a profound fear, leaving them too terrified to even draw a deep breath.

Now, with the peril passed and Yun Wanshang having successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, an immense sense of relief washed over them.

However, contemplating Yun Wanshang's successful breakthrough, they realized their guarding duties had become redundant. Unease began to creep in as they pondered if Lu Changsheng would decide to silence them, and they tensed up once more.

"This breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage owes everything to you."

Yun Wanshang spoke, her exquisite eyes shimmering with a complex tapestry of emotions.

Throughout the tribulation, Demon Kings had launched their assaults; while she was unaware of the precise specifics, she grasped the sheer peril involved.

Had it not been for Lu Changsheng's timely intervention, achieving a breakthrough in such a location teeming with formidable Demon Beasts would have been utterly impossible.
