Become a fairy alone

The Rock Toad was then placed on a grassland inside the cave. Looking around, the Rock Toad's previously depressed mood calmed down considerably.

Because he is not alone here; besides him, there are nearly a hundred other monsters and demons.

Even those who were slightly weaker had reached the Celestial Immortal level, with the Rock Toad Beast being one of the stronger ones. However, it could probably only rank in the top ten, barely making it to eighth place. Mo Yulei, who usually wouldn't dare to face his opponent, was now lying on the grass with a look of utter despair.

There were no complete restrictions or even any significant limitations placed upon them, yet none of the nearly one hundred demons dared to leave or engage in any improper conduct.

Apart from Lu Yuan, who was just a child, anyone else who frequented the cave could easily have wiped them all out.

The auras the Rock Toad Beast sensed before entering this grassland were incredibly oppressive, emanating from the depths of its soul.

Many of them used to dominate their own territory, but now they can only obediently be kept here. The difference before and after is truly enormous.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan, the instigator, arrived at a portrait with Luo Qing, Mu Xia, and the others.

The lifelike man in the painting, dressed in blue robes and with silver hair, gazes calmly ahead. His eyes possess a strange penetrating power, seemingly able to see through people's hearts and understand everything.

"Father." Under the watchful eyes of Luo Qing and the others, Lu Yuan, with one hand across his chest, bowed to the man in the portrait with a hint of curiosity, doing what he did every day.
"Mother, why is Father still inside the portrait and won't come out?"

Mu Xia, Luo Ping'er, Yu Ya, and the others felt a lump in their throats upon hearing this. Lu Yuan's bloodline talent was astonishingly strong. As Lu Xiaotian's first child, the Supreme Heavenly Dragon, he possessed the innate aura of a dragon's birth and the vibrant life force emanating from Luo Qing.

Besides growing extremely slowly, they retain a childlike mind and have almost no weaknesses.

Judging by the timeline, Lu Yuan has lived for nearly 40,000 years, and looks only about four or five years old. His current strength has reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Compared to most races, his rate of improvement is already incredibly fast, but it's not among the most outstanding.

However, Lu Yuan spent a very long time in his infancy. It was only in the last few thousand years that Luo Qing, Wen Yan, and others truly taught him the way of cultivation, and what they taught him were only some of the most basic cultivation concepts.

Before this, Lu Yuan's strength had already reached nearly the Golden Immortal realm, and the astonishing defensive power of Lu Yuan's dragon body was innate, and it continued to increase with the improvement of his cultivation. The depth of his origin had far exceeded the normal level of his peers.

Now, if they were to fight, they could easily crush demons like Mo Yu Lei and Rock Toad Beast, which makes them extremely terrifying.

Even Wen Yan, the five-clawed golden dragon, regarded Lu Yuan as the future hope of the dragon race.

“This is a portrait of your father; he’s not here,” Luo Qing said with a faint smile.

"Where is Father? Doesn't he want to see us?" Lu Yuan asked, his eyes wide.

“Your father must really want to return to the Dragon Realm, but we now have a very powerful enemy. In order to protect the entire Dragon Realm, your father went to a very far place,” Xiang Qingcheng said.

"Did Father go alone? We have Aunt Yan and Uncle Ji Ting. Why don't we fight the enemy together? Can't we go find Father?"

Lu Yuan had many questions in his mind, and as he grew older over the past two years, he became increasingly curious about his father, especially the portrait. He had never seen what his real father looked like, but it seemed that all the uncles and aunts he knew in the Dragon Realm had complicated emotions when they mentioned him.

“You’re still young. When you grow up and become even more powerful than Aunt Yan, and can protect the Dragon Domain, then you can go find your father,” Lu Wushuang said, stroking Lu Yuan’s little head.

"I will definitely work hard to cultivate and strive to become stronger than Aunt Yan as soon as possible, so as to protect my mother, Aunt Yan, and everyone else."

Lu Yuan nodded very seriously, feeling inexplicably proud, but also a sense of mission. In his memory, Aunt Yan had always been the most powerful in the Dragon Domain, but it seemed that his father was even more powerful than Aunt Yan and was a respected figure by everyone in the Dragon Domain.

"I'm waiting for the day when Xiao Yuan'er will protect me." Yan Ji's face beamed with an exceptionally bright smile.

Xiang Qingcheng, Lu Wushuang, and the others exchanged knowing smiles. Yan Ji had always been incredibly free-spirited, yet she had never asked for anyone's protection. She even dared to draw her sword in the face of an Emperor-level expert. There were very few people in the entire Dragon Domain who could catch her eye, but she doted on Lu Yuan to the extreme.

While Lu Yuan continued to play with the mounts, the Moon Sky Palace Master, Meng Fushan, the Thunder Roc Palace Master, and several other Dragon Lords arrived one after another.

Apart from Ji Ting and Ni Chang, who never get involved in such trivial matters, all the other powerful figures at the Sovereign level have arrived.

"Wenyan, why don't you just discuss it with Qingcheng and the others? Why bother summoning us old folks like this? We don't usually get involved in anything," Xiang Kuang said casually.

"This space is quite active. Recently, more and more independent spaces have been overlapping with the Dragon Domain, including many old monsters with strength similar to ours. As conflicts become more frequent, our interactions with the outside world are inevitable. Some demons and monsters outside have learned of the existence of the Dragon Domain, which naturally increases some unpredictable crises."

Opinions are quite divided among the people below. Most are highly motivated to fight, but some are worried.

"It would be best if we reached a consensus sooner rather than later, and put all our opinions on the table for discussion, so that the differences don't grow bigger and bigger and become difficult to manage," Wenyan said.

"I will listen to the ladies." Palace Master Lei Peng stated directly. Of course, he would not unconditionally obey Xiang Qingcheng and the others in everything, but rather because of Lu Yuan's presence.

"Amitabha! Little Lu Yuan is my support." Monk Lan Yunzhu chanted a Buddhist prayer, then looked down at his nose and focused on his heart.

"It's just that those below are worrying unnecessarily. When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. If we encounter the enemy, we'll just have a good fight. There's no need for so much nonsense." Jin Tong, like Xiang Kuang, is usually too lazy to rack his brains.

"What are the thoughts of the Bat Queen, the Moon Palace Master, Elder Meng, and the others?" Wen Yan asked again. The opinions of these powerful beings at the source of the laws were undoubtedly crucial.

“Cultivating the laws of the Great Dao is like rowing against the current. If one cannot forge ahead against the current, one can only be content with mediocrity in the erosion of time.”

From a cultivation perspective, the Dragon Realm should proactively embrace challenges from any enemy. If it becomes hesitant and timid when facing external enemies, the Dragon Realm will likely stagnate.

The Immortal Realm's search for the Dragon Domain will certainly not cease; it will only take a little longer to discover it, but ultimately, it will still be slaughtered. Rather than die a pathetic death, it's better to go against the tide and fight for a chance," Yan Ji said resolutely. (End of Chapter)
