Zi Linling gently rubbed his little head and smiled kindly, "Oh, what secret is it?"
Long'er stood on tiptoe and whispered in Zi Linling's ear, "Sister, there is a treasure in our Dragon Clan's ancestral land. When we return to the Dragon Clan in the future, I will give it to you!"
Treasure?
Zi Linling was stunned for a moment and asked, "What treasure?"
Long'er scratched his head in annoyance, "I'm not sure either. I just heard two old men talking."
Old men?
Zi Linling was secretly startled. Long'er had been sitting beside her the whole time, but she hadn't heard any sounds or sensed anyone approaching!
Could it be that those two old men were too powerful and had blocked her senses?
If that were the case, wouldn't she be in danger at any moment?
How could this be allowed?
A hint of coldness flashed in Zi Linling's eyes, and she said, "Long'er, where did you see those two old men?"
Long'er pointed to the sky with his finger, "Just there!"
A cold light flashed in Zi Linling's eyes. She thought, "I want to see who is peeping at me!"
Immediately, she released all her divine senses from her sea of consciousness and extended them towards where Long'er was pointing.
Huh? No one?
Zi Linling frowned and searched the area again with her divine senses.
Still no one!
Zi Linling withdrew her divine senses and pointed to where Long'er had pointed. "Long'er, are you sure those two old men were there?"
Long'er nodded, "Yes! I was attracted by the scent on my sister and involuntarily entered a state of cultivation. But not long after, my body began to hurt unbearably, and then I saw two old men sitting there, pointing and gesturing at me."
"And then?"
Zi Linling asked with a frown.
"Then one old man said to the other, 'This little golden dragon is not bad. It can actually awaken its bloodline for the second time. It hasn't appeared in your Dragon Clan for tens of thousands of years!'"
Long'er vividly imitated the way the old man spoke.
Of course, he was still a four-year-old child. Although he imitated the tone and demeanor perfectly, his voice was still immature.
The aged tone, combined with Long'er's immature voice and face, was quite amusing.
However, even so, Zi Linling grasped the key point in Long'er's words – the second awakening of the bloodline!
The second awakening of the bloodline? What was that?
Zi Linling secretly asked herself.
"Little girl, bloodline awakening is a unique inheritance method of divine beasts."
Elder Du's voice sounded in Zi Linling's mind at the right time.
He was already accustomed to enlightening Zi Linling about the cultivation world and guiding her when she was confused.
"Inheritance method?"
Zi Linling was shocked by Elder Du's words.
In her understanding, inheritance was passed down through word of mouth or written records. This kind of inheritance passed down through bloodline was something she had never heard of before.
Elder Du said, "Yes! Their abilities and cultivation techniques are hidden in their bloodline, so only by awakening their bloodline can they become powerful."
"The world is indeed vast and full of wonders! The divine beast clan is quite interesting."
Apart from her shock, Zi Linling was also filled with curiosity about the divine beast clan.
Elder Du continued, "For the divine beast clan, every time they awaken their bloodline, their physical strength and power will increase several times. And the Dragon Clan, as the leader of the divine beast clan, can awaken their bloodline nine times."
"Then isn't the Dragon Clan extremely powerful?"
Zi Linling was even more surprised.
Imagine, if every dragon awakened its bloodline nine times, the Dragon Clan, relying on its physical strength and power alone, would be enough to crush many other races.
"Yes, the Dragon Clan used to be the most powerful race, without exception."
Elder Du paused and then said, "But later, the Dragon Clan somehow offended the Curse Clan. Since then, no one in the Dragon Clan has awakened their bloodline for the second time. So the Dragon Clan gradually weakened, but even so, no one dared to provoke the Dragon Clan."
"The Curse Clan? What kind of race is that?"
Zi Linling became even more curious.
It seemed that the cultivation world was very deep, and she, an uncultured person in the cultivation world, had to find time to catch up on related knowledge.
Elder Du did not want to mention the Curse Clan, so he changed the subject. "I'll tell you about it later. However, if you don't pay attention to that little golden dragon, he's going to go crazy!"
Zi Linling was stunned. She had been so engrossed in talking to Elder Du that she had forgotten that Little Long hadn't finished speaking.
So, she suddenly snapped back to reality and said to Little Long with an apologetic smile, "Where were you?"
Little Long pouted at Zi Linling, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, "So, Sister wasn't listening to me just now!"
Zi Linling rubbed his little head again and said, "I'm sorry, Sister was distracted. Can you say it again?"
Although Long'er was a little wronged, he still repeated it.
"Then another old man said, if it weren't for that hateful... clan, how could our Dragon Clan be so stifled? Fortunately, there is still a treasure left in the ancestral land, so let's leave it for that little golden dragon!"
This time, Zi Linling listened carefully as Long'er finished speaking, and then said, "You said you saw those two old men while you were cultivating?"
Long'er nodded, "Yes, Sister!"
Zi Linling frowned. It seemed she had been overthinking.
According to Long'er, those two old men were probably targeting Long'er, not trying to spy on her.
Since that was the case, she would no longer dwell on it.
She had already broken through to the Qi Induction realm, and it was time to leave.
Zi Linling looked in the direction of the valley entrance, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
Although she still couldn't defeat Fu Liuyun, the strongest among the four, escaping was no longer a problem.
"Long'er, tell those beast tribes to retreat. We should go out!"
Long'er's eyes lit up and he said, "Sister, this time, can you not make me go back to the contracted space?"
Zi Linling hesitated for a moment and said, "The cultivation of those few people is all in the Essence Transformation realm, and the highest has reached the peak of the Essence Transformation realm. If you don't return to the contracted space, I can't guarantee your safety."
Long'er said anxiously, "Sister, who is stronger between that most powerful one and that stupid tiger?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the Wind Wing Phantom Tiger.
Although the Wind Wing Phantom Tiger was a little intimidated by Long'er, it couldn't help but curse in its heart, "You're the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid!"
Zi Linling glanced at the Wind Wing Phantom Tiger and said, "The Wind Wing Phantom Tiger is a third-level demonic beast. The cultivation of that person should be comparable to it."
Long'er said happily, "Then it's fine! My current strength is more than enough to defeat that stupid tiger. That person shouldn't be able to hurt me, so please don't make me go back to the contracted space, okay?"
