Because she was the first person to ascend after her! Perhaps… it was an acquaintance?
Seeing her expression, Long Li Xing's heart stirred! A hint of helpless amusement appeared on his cold face.
"If Madam is interested, you can go and see!"
The sensual and intimate address of "Madam" was spoken with great gentleness, completely at odds with his aura! Jin Bao'er's ears immediately felt warm, her heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at him before quickly looking away.
"Ahem… Then let's go and see! It'll be good to clear our heads."
Before leaving, Jin Bao'er returned to the cave and brought all her companions with her!
To her surprise, the little ones who had been so standoffish moments ago were now, if not intimately close, at least calm and peaceful, completely devoid of their usual wariness.
She raised her hand, "Jin Ling Dang!"
Jin Ling Dang had already heard about this Dragon Ancestor and immediately straightened her posture, showing utmost respect. She spoke with great reverence.
"Greetings, Master! I am the immortal artifact newly contracted by the Master, primarily for defense and protection! I will continue to protect the Master in the future!"
Jin Ling Dang was very nervous! She hadn't felt this emotion since becoming an immortal artifact! But now… in front of this legendary Dragon Ancestor, she had to admit~ she was a little scared!
As a former immortal artifact of the Luo Xian Sect, she had naturally heard of the Dragon Ancestor Long Li Xing's name! What shocked her was that the person with her cheap contractor was actually a couple!!
She was a little stunned… but it didn't diminish her reverence! For the first time, she proactively addressed Jin Bao'er as Master, without any hint of arrogance.
Long Li Xing remained silent for a moment, his gaze swept over her for three seconds before moving away. He said indifferently.
"Hmm… Not bad."
With just three words, Jin Ling Dang was so excited she almost fainted! It was a rollercoaster of emotions! Both thrilled and nervous!
The big shot… was complimenting her!
As the contractor, Jin Bao'er could clearly sense Jin Ling Dang's emotional fluctuations and understood, speechless.
She then pointed to another side: "Fen Bei, you've met her!"
He had met her ten thousand years ago and ten thousand years later!
Fen Bei wasn't as nervous, after all, she was an acquaintance! She swayed her shell slightly, then laughed heartily and without a care.
"Master, you've finally woken up! Our Master has been so worried about you these past few years!"
Long Li Xing's eyes moved at the words, and he looked directly at Jin Bao'er. Although his expression was unchanged, that focused, intense gaze still made Jin Bao'er blush for a second…
She lowered her eyes and looked at Hu Qi.
"Hu Qi, this is a demon beast I met in the Fox Clan."
Hu Qi was delighted! He stood up, bowed respectfully, and cupped his paws in a salute.
"Greetings, Dragon Ancestor!"
He hadn't been contracted yet, so his status was actually quite awkward.
Before Long Li Xing could say anything, Jin Bao'er interrupted him! She spoke with a calm expression?
"A cultivator has ascended to the Upper Realm, I plan to go and see. You all come with me."
Upon hearing this, Tian Shu, a native of the cultivation world, became interested. Could it be his demonic beast descendants?
Jin Huang's eyes also brightened. It would be great if the Master's companion ascended! After all, in the past few years in the Upper Realm, her Master only had them, and seemingly no human companions! Wasn't it said that humans were social animals?
Soon, everyone reached an agreement! They rushed directly to the Ascending Gate…
*
At this time, in the cultivation world above!
A scorched black figure floated in the air, and several bolts of lightning struck down, relentlessly cleaving towards the figure! The Heavenly Dao was furious! The last woman had ascended like she was cheating, and this time, it would not go easy!
The figure trembled all over, clearly unable to withstand it any longer. Its aura and spiritual energy became thin…
"Boom!"
After the last heavenly lightning strike descended, the scorched black figure plummeted downwards, with not a piece of good flesh left on its body! Its appearance was unrecognizable.
Just then, all the cultivators in the cultivation world were paying attention to this scene!
Dao Tian Qi, standing at the forefront, was ramrod straight with a stable aura. Only the hand constantly stroking his beard betrayed his inner anxiety.
Not far away, two figures, one red and one green, were also staring intently at the distant sky! Their expressions were solemn!
"Damn it! It's been so long! The number of heavenly lightning bolts is enough! Why haven't we seen the Heavenly Dao's bestowal yet?!"
The woman in red spoke first, wishing she could rush over and check the situation immediately! Unfortunately, under the Heavenly Dao's pressure, her divine sense couldn't reach.
The man beside her frowned.
"Don't rush, wait a bit longer!"
Hearing this, the already impatient Yun Mo Ling Long had to take a deep breath and calm herself down! Her gaze was filled with worry as she looked towards the dim sky in the distance…
Ten years had passed! The cultivation world saw its second ascender, and to everyone's surprise, that person had no outstanding qualities initially! They only appeared shortly after Jin Bao'er's ascension, attracting everyone's attention. Since then, their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. In just ten years, they had reached the point of ascension!
Almost everyone found it incredible! But it had happened.
Yes, ten years had passed in the lower realm since Jin Bao'er's ascension! And it was only after her that these changes occurred. The two worlds not only had a difference in spiritual energy but now also a difference in time! Less than four years had passed in the Upper Realm, while ten years had passed in the lower realm, doubling the time!
At this time, Yun Mo Ling Long and the man had become Dao companions. With their joint efforts, their cultivation had both reached the Out-of-Body stage! They only needed to achieve perfection in their strength before ascending to the Upper Realm and pursuing an even more powerful future.
Just as everyone was holding their breath nervously, the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and streaks of light pierced through the sky. Auspicious rays of light descended everywhere, creating a breathtaking spectacle!
Seeing this, everyone's expressions were shaken, and without a word, they flew over!
The scorched black figure was also reborn under the nourishment of the auspicious light. The original fleshless skin peeled away, revealing firm skin underneath! A handsome face gradually became clear…
Then, the young man's eyes snapped open, his sharp gaze sweeping around. A strong aura of Heavenly Dao power enveloped him. He was stunned for two seconds before realizing he had succeeded!
A flicker of ecstasy flashed across his face, and he tilted his head, his body gradually rising! His gaze was fixed on the opened Ascending Gate, filled with excitement and urgency!
The first group of people who had arrived quickly also received the auspicious light bestowed by the Heavenly Dao! Their cultivation subtly loosened! They looked up at the young man with complex expressions…
Yun Mo Ling Long, however, couldn't bother with such things. She quickly flew up, but under the resistance of the Heavenly Dao's pressure, she couldn't move as soon as she took flight. Helplessly, she quickly shouted at the young man!
"You brat! When you get to the Upper Realm, tell Jin Bao'er that I'll definitely ascend within five years to settle the score! Tell her to be careful not to die too quickly! We agreed to act cool and ascend together, what do you mean by secretly ascending by herself!?"
She yelled with all her might, her eyes slightly red, her tone extremely agitated and filled with deep longing! Releasing all the grievances she had accumulated over the past decade! Her voice echoed in the surroundings for a long time…
