Chapter 2149: The Grandaunt

Feeling the explosive power surging through his body, Ye Yuan was extremely satisfied with this physical form.

The seventh-order nirvana tribulation was a nightmare for body cultivators.

Without an indomitable will, it was impossible to survive.

But for Ye Yuan, this was precisely his strength.

The process was excruciatingly painful, but once he got through it, the bitterness gave way to sweetness.

The perfect seventh-turn golden body, with blood energy blazing like a scorching sun.

Ye Yuan felt that even without using his divine essence, a single punch could blow up a Celestial Deity-level abyssal beast.

"Hehe, this breakthrough was truly a transformation! The three paths of essence, energy, and spirit seem reborn through nirvana, and my strength has skyrocketed!" Ye Yuan exclaimed.

"The fusion of the three paths is indeed terrifying! Unfortunately, in this Tongtian Realm, no one but you can achieve it!" Wuchen also praised.

Ye Yuan smiled and nodded, then suddenly let out a soft exclamation as a dragon-shaped mark appeared on his forehead.

"It seems... that senior is truly unfathomable, leaving this mark on me without my noticing! But... this mark seems like a seed, containing immense power waiting for me to develop."

Feeling this mark, Ye Yuan immediately thought of Bai Chen.

Who else but Bai Chen could have planted a mark on him without his knowledge?

For now, he sensed no danger from this mark, so he simply let it be.

"Ye Yuan!"

"Lord Ye!"

...

Suddenly, excited shouts came from afar. It was Long Xiaochun and the others arriving.

"I knew you'd be fine!"

Long Xiaochun's face lit up with surprise, then suddenly changed expression as she exclaimed, "You... you've broken through?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Hehe, after fusing the three paths, I didn't expect the nirvana tribulation to come suddenly. Originally, I didn't have enough Black Nightmare Demon Crystals, but who knew those Celestial Deity-level abyssal beasts would deliver themselves to me, solving my urgent need."

The crowd was speechless upon hearing this.

Treating Celestial Deity-level abyssal beasts as prey—Lord Ye was truly one of a kind.

A hint of cunning flashed in Long Xiaochun's eyes, and she suddenly threw a punch.

The terrifying force caused the space to crack with a loud bang.

Ye Yuan chuckled and threw a punch as well.

Boom!

Long Xiaochun's body flew backward, retreating dozens of zhang before barely stabilizing herself.

Ye Yuan, however, stood motionless.

Seeing this, Xun Ge and the others were all shocked.

They all knew Long Xiaochun was a girl with monstrous strength, her fists nearly matching a first-level Celestial Deity abyssal beast.

But this monstrous girl had lost to Ye Yuan with a single punch!

And from the looks of it, Ye Yuan hadn't even used his full strength.

Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Celestial Deity realm, not even having time to consolidate his cultivation, yet his strength was already this formidable!

"Amazing! Truly worthy of the perfect seventh-turn golden body! If you go all out, your strength probably rivals that of a second-level Celestial Deity!" Long Xiaochun marveled.

Ye Yuan said casually, "Dealing with a second-level Celestial Deity should be no problem."

Such was the power of the perfect seventh-turn!

Breaking through to the seventh order brought an explosive increase in strength.

With powerful techniques and martial skills, even fighting across levels in the Celestial Deity realm was no issue!

"Freak!" Long Xiaochun rolled her eyes.

Among the dragon clan, she was definitely synonymous with genius.

But in front of Ye Yuan, she really couldn't find any sense of superiority.

This guy was too monstrous!

Ye Yuan looked at Long Xiaochun with a strange expression.

Long Xiaochun felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze and said, "What... what are you doing, looking at me like that?"

Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed, "I've broken through to the seventh rank, and the atavistic dragon soul has fully awakened."

Long Xiaochun asked in confusion, "So what?"

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly, "It turns out that the Dragon Ancestor of the Xianlin World was actually your mother's elder brother..."

At these words, Long Xiaochun's expression also turned strange.

Suddenly, Long Xiaochun couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.

"Giggle... come, come, call me 'grandaunt'! Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter, hahaha..."

Long Xiaochun laughed so hard she doubled over, her whole body shaking, almost out of breath.

Beside her, Xunge and the others had initially been holding back their laughter.

Finally, they couldn't contain it and burst into collective laughter.

They never imagined that there was such a relationship between Ye Yuan and Long Xiaochun.

Ye Yuan was speechless; he had always regarded Long Xiaochun as a little sister.

But when he awakened the atavistic dragon soul, some memories of the Dragon Ancestor of the Xianlin World appeared in his mind.

It turned out that the Dragon Ancestor and the Dragon Lord of the Rain Dragon Village were siblings.

This also explained why he felt so close to Long Xiaochun.

Millions of years ago, the Dragon Ancestor, confident in his talent, wanted to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors and ventured alone into the Dragon Eye Cave.

Who would have thought that in the perilous Dragon Eye Cave, he would end up in a desperate situation?

The Xianlin Heavenly Lord, by sheer chance, entered the Dragon Eye Cave through a spatial rift and rescued the Dragon Ancestor Long Qin, along with the progenitors of the Four Divine Beasts.

To repay the debt of gratitude for saving their lives, these divine beasts followed the Xianlin Heavenly Lord.

And the Four Progenitors also spread their lineage throughout the Xianlin World.

But later, the Xianlin Heavenly Lord was killed, and the Four Progenitors disappeared without a trace.

However, in the Dragon Ancestor's memories, he had a younger sister named Long Xiyue, who was the current Dragon Lord of the Rain Dragon Village.

Thus, Ye Yuan was actually many generations younger than Long Xiaochun.

So calling her 'grandaunt' was indeed appropriate.

But getting Ye Yuan to say it was too difficult.

This time, the generational gap was too wide.

"Ye Yuan, say it, say it! Otherwise, your grandaunt won't be happy. Say it, and you'll get a reward! Giggle..." Long Xiaochun teased.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes; now he would never be able to hold his head high in front of Long Xiaochun.

Of course, calling Long Xiaochun 'grandaunt' was out of the question.

"Alright, stop messing around. It's getting late; we should get out of here!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Sure enough, this sentence immediately captured everyone's attention.

"Sir, is that true? Can you really take us out?" Xunge asked joyfully.

The others also looked at him with hopeful expressions; this place was like hell to them.

Ye Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Of course! I've comprehended the laws of space to the sixth level; finding a mere spatial rift is nothing. Besides, my inherited memories also contain coordinates of spatial rifts."

Before breaking through to the Chaos Realm, Ye Yuan would have had some trouble finding spatial rifts.

But during the explosion, Ye Yuan's consciousness entered a very profound state, and he became thoroughly familiar with everything in this third layer of the seal.

He now knew the coordinates of no fewer than five spatial rifts.

Long Xiaochun was also led astray by Ye Yuan and quickly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! I don't want to stay in this damn place a moment longer!"

Ye Yuan nodded lightly and said, "Follow me."
