Become a fairy alone

Without hesitation, Xing Rong opened his mouth and swallowed the black talisman. A spell then appeared in his mind. It was primarily a spell to control qi and blood. As he followed the spell, the dragon shadow within the talisman shrank into the deepest part of Xing Rong's body.

"Pack up your tents and leave. After completing the mission, return to the vicinity of the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine." After saying this, the voice within the talisman fell completely silent.

Xing Rong felt a surge of excitement. Hundreds of thousands of years had passed unnoticed. The Dragon Lord trapped in the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine had gained some mobility, and his divine sense could influence the area around the guillotine.

But over the years, aside from guiding his cultivation, he hasn't been asked to do anything else. Clearly, even the Dragon Lord's severed head is helpless in escaping, and now, with the Dragon Lord's limbs merging together, he has received further instructions.

Xing Rong suspected that the order itself was secretly arranged by Lu Xiaotian. His cultivation level was relatively low, and he couldn't do anything on his own. Obviously, the other party did not place all their hopes on him, but only used him as a spy.

However, Xing Rong had no complaints; the difference in their levels was too great. Even if he risked his life to help, he might not be able to accomplish much. If the other party truly placed their hopes on him, Xing Rong would find Lu Xiaotian unreliable.

It would be normal for Lu Xiaotian to act mysterious in front of him.

Xing Rong did as instructed, packed up the tent, and then floated away. Numerous immortals frequently came and went in the vicinity, each busy with their own affairs or worrying about trivial matters.

Xing Rong, however, shook off his confusion. Now, he only wanted to collect the many treasures needed by the Northern Star Lord as soon as possible so he could return and report back. Then, he would stay safely near the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine and wait for his opportunity.

Just as Xing Rong left, in a corner of the camp, a white figure watched him go.

A moment later, the white figure shattered and disappeared into the ground.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away, the lotus avatar sat cross-legged in a cave filled with stalactites of thunder and flame, a slow smile playing on its lips.

The person who just made contact with Xing Rong was not him, but rather through the physical body of the main body. However, he has now made contact with the main body and is able to obtain this part of the information.

Lotus clone was also responsible for rotating guard duty in the area of ​​Dragon Slayer, but to be on the safe side, he always tried to avoid contact with Xing Rong.

After the main body's limbs reunited, they managed to contact him. The lotus clone learned a great deal about the main body and what had happened in the Dragon Realm.

The original body naturally learned from him about some major events that had occurred in the Immortal Realm or other realms over the years.

The main body gave Xing Rong a task, and the lotus clone also had its own things to do.

The Four Heavenly Emperors' forces in the outer realms had not yet found a treasure capable of repairing the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, but they unexpectedly discovered a Void Heaven Cauldron and a spatial treasure capable of repairing it.

However, that place is quite dangerous, and the Immortal Realm is currently mobilizing people to search for the treasure.

This being has already cultivated the Seed of the Great Dao of Space, and the Space Sub-Cauldron in its hands can play a far greater role than before.

However, in the battle with the Four Heavenly Emperors, apart from the two Sky Heaven Cauldrons left in the Dragon Domain that were still intact, Lu Xiaotian's own cauldrons had already suffered some damage in the battle.

Without a suitable treasure, it would be absurd for Lu Xiaotian to try to repair it.

The overall strength of the Dragon Domain has increased dramatically. With the limbs of the original body reunited, they will definitely try to retrieve the head.

Furthermore, the things I need to do are not limited to this; I also need to consider the ultimate battle with the Four Heavenly Emperors.

The reason they were able to escape death after their defeat was largely due to the explosion of the mysterious spatial array beneath the Nine Nether Weak Water, which caused terrifying spatial fluctuations that tore a small hole in the Dragon Slayer's defenses.

When Lu Xiaotian's body was dismembered, his head managed to escape into it, using the Heavenly Dragon Curse to restrain the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, thus giving his limbs a chance to escape.

The whole process was too lucky; it was a close call with death, and luck played a huge part.

If another great battle were to break out with the Four Heavenly Emperors, it would be impossible to encounter a similar spatial war again. The same luck would not come twice. Moreover, having suffered a loss once, the Four Heavenly Emperors would undoubtedly be on guard, wary of any possible unexpected events.

The main body must do everything possible to increase its strength. The lotus clone has not yet reached the Emperor level and cannot directly help in the great battle with the Four Heavenly Emperors. However, it can provide some assistance in other ways.

The lotus avatar's appearance in this cave naturally has its purpose. The Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, heavily affected by the Heavenly Dragon's Curse of its original form, has lost much of its power, making its suppression of Dragon Abyss far less effective than before.

Countless remnant souls of the dragon race within Dragon Abyss continuously launched attacks on the outside world. Although the four Heavenly Emperors took turns guarding the area and mobilized a certain number of Immortal Lord-level experts and elite Immortal Army soldiers, they also used a large number of soul-suppressing items and killed a considerable number of remnant souls, completely annihilating them.

However, compared to the almost endless remnant souls in Longyuan, this part of the victory has little significance for the Immortal Realm for the time being.

However, the lotus clone managed to contact the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon through the Holy Soul Sword Stele during its battle with the remnant soul of the dragon.

This move was undoubtedly very risky, but it was mainly because the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine was restrained by the main body, and the terrifying soul power fluctuations within the Dragon Abyss concealed the subtle movements that occurred when the Holy Soul Sword Stele and the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon connected, thus successfully deceiving the Heavenly Emperor's senses.

Even if it were any other Immortal Lord-level expert, even if their cultivation was higher than that of the lotus clone, it would be difficult for them to accomplish this.

The lotus clone was able to do this because the main deity secretly guided him.

As the Supreme Heavenly Dragon, I have a relatively clear understanding of the power of the primordial spirits of the Four Heavenly Emperors, and can roughly judge their sensing abilities. I spent over ten thousand years repeatedly deducing and waiting for the right opportunity before finally accomplishing this.

Subsequently, the lotus clone traveled back and forth to this cave more than ten times, expending a great deal of energy and spanning more than 200,000 years, using formations to collect Thunderflame Stone Heart Milk.

Every twenty thousand years or so, the lotus avatar would come in person to repeatedly refine the Thunderflame Stone Heart Milk gathered within the formation into the Sacred Soul Sword Stele.

As instructed by the original owner, the Thunderstone Heart Milk he collected, besides satisfying his own cultivation and concealing his identity, was also enough to provide for the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon.

The main task now is to enter the Outer Realm to help the main body obtain the Sky Heaven Cauldron. However, this is not up to him. The Outer Realm is not easy to enter, and the passage is controlled by the Four Heavenly Emperors.

Without the Heavenly Emperor's permission, he couldn't possibly enter with his current strength. He also didn't know the exact location of the Sky Heaven Cauldron, only that it existed in general. As he pondered this, a golden transmission talisman pierced the air from afar, directly entering the cave. His lotus clone's eyes flashed; the talisman bore a golden swan pattern. The only one capable of sending such a transmission talisman from such a distance was undoubtedly the Heavenly Emperor Honghao.

"Holy Soul Sword Master, come to the Desolate Sea at once!" The voice of Emperor Honghao Heavenly Emperor rang out from within the talisman.

The lotus clone's cultivation of the Sacred Soul Sword Stele deepened day by day, and the Taixiao Immortal Sword was no longer so important to him. The lotus clone's reputation in the outside world also changed accordingly. After a slight hesitation, the lotus clone transformed into a sword and sped off towards the desolate sea.

……

hoo hoo hoo!
Inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, with Lu Xiaotian's head at the center, eight dragon shadows appeared around it. These dragon shadows were perfectly integrated, and their every move was perfectly coordinated. Even with Lu Xiaotian's cultivation level, he could not detect the slightest flaw.

However, a hint of strain appeared in Lu Xiaotian's eyes. Maintaining eight dragon shadows was clearly no easy task. Each step taken by the dragon shadows was a huge drain on Lu Xiaotian.

After holding on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a series of booming sounds rang out, and the eight dragon shadows dissipated one after another in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xiaotian groaned, his face paling slightly, and then he couldn't help but sigh.

These eight dragon shadows conform to the laws of the Great Dao. The method of forming an array around them was not something he comprehended himself. It was a supreme divine power passed down from the Supreme Heavenly Dragon of the past, the highest secret technique passed down from generation to generation by the ancient dragon race.

After the lotus clone made contact with the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon, the inheritance obtained from the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon could only be comprehended after reaching the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Only the Supreme Heavenly Dragon had ever truly unleashed its power.

Lu Xiaotian felt that he should be able to continue to comprehend it, but given his current state, with only his head still trapped inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, the restrictions were too great, making it impossible for him to successfully cultivate it.

Having obtained this supreme inheritance of the dragon race, yet unable to cultivate it, Lu Xiaotian felt quite frustrated. After glimpsing its path, Lu Xiaotian also deeply felt the power of the dragon race in the past.

He had come into contact with many cultivation techniques and possessed several top-tier lineages. Furthermore, he had been constantly developing methods suitable for himself, combining several supernatural abilities into one.

Because he was trapped inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, his progress was slow and he was unable to put his deductions into practice. However, Lu Xiaotian believed that the techniques he had deduced were among the best in the entire realm.

After obtaining the supreme ultimate skill of the former Supreme Heavenly Dragon from the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon, Lu Xiaotian finally understood the meaning of "there are always people more powerful than you, and heavens beyond heavens."

Lu Xiaotian's cultivation techniques were all deduced by himself. The former Supreme Heavenly Dragon technique was the culmination of generations of hard work by the ancient dragon race, perfectly combining the technique with their own bloodline. After countless years of refinement, the ancient dragon race had explored the potential of various dragon bloodlines to their fullest extent.

Lu Xiaotian also benefited greatly from this, but unfortunately he is now like a dragon trapped in shallow water. Even though he has many insights, he has no way to use them inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine.

On the contrary, the constant use of the Heavenly Dragon's Curse to erode the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine over the years has taken a toll on Lu Xiaotian. Compared to when he was first trapped here, Lu Xiaotian's strength has actually declined.

He didn't have a good solution to this either. In fact, if it weren't for those mysterious gray halos that could block the power of the Dragon Slayer to a certain extent, creating a buffer zone between him and the Dragon Slayer, Lu Xiaotian probably wouldn't have lasted this long.

"It seems the only variable we can hope for is from the outside world." Lu Xiaotian sighed slightly. After so many years, he had long since come to terms with reality. He didn't yet know the specific situation regarding those remaining limbs outside, or the Dragon Domain.

There is no other way but to wait.

Fortunately, the lotus clone has made contact with the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon, so it's not entirely without progress.

Now, besides continuously interfering with the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine by activating the Heavenly Dragon's Curse, Lu Xiaotian can only continue to deduce his own cultivation technique while comprehending the legacy left behind by the Supreme Heavenly Dragon. He has gained a lot of insights in the process, and although he has no room to use them for the time being, he still hopes to one day escape this sea of ​​suffering.

The more you understand now, the greater the benefits will be in the future.

Inside the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine, Lu Xiaotian was repeating his daily routine when suddenly a familiar aura emanated from the outside world.

"The lotus clone has returned." Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed. The Dragon Slayer had the upper hand in the conflict with him, but it could not completely block his aura from leaking out.

The lotus clone was created by him, so Lu Xiaotian was naturally very familiar with its aura.

The time it takes for the lotus clone to collect enough Thunderfire Stone stalactites to allow the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon to recover some of its strength.

The lotus clone alone cannot directly access the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon, since in addition to several Immortal Lord-level experts, there is also a Heavenly Emperor nearby.

Lu Xiaotian needs to cooperate with the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon to detonate the soul tide within the Dragon Abyss as a cover.

Sensing the familiar sword intent fluctuations from the lotus clone, Lu Xiaotian remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was delighted. The lotus clone didn't send him a telepathic message, nor did it make any special movements; it was simply traveling normally, at least that's how it appeared to outsiders.

Even powerful emperors could not detect anything unusual.

Only Lu Xiaotian had a special relationship with the lotus clone. He knew all the cultivation techniques the lotus clone practiced, including the Sacred Soul Sword Stele. Beneath this seemingly ordinary fluctuation of sword intent lay a signal that he and the lotus clone had agreed upon.

Lu Xiaotian gave Xing Rong a lot of guidance, using telepathy in some of it, but he was much more cautious about the lotus clone.

Even if the situation is better than expected, and his strength in the outside world or in the Dragon Domain steadily increases, Lu Xiaotian's head will only have one chance to escape.

Moreover, this opportunity largely lies with the lotus clone, so he cannot afford to be careless.

Xing Rong's cultivation level was a bit low, so even if he was determined to die, it would be difficult for him to play a key role. Lu Xiaotian just treated him as a nobody and didn't have high hopes for him.

It seems that the lotus clone has indeed collected enough Thunderstone Heart Milk as expected, and it's time to restore some of the strength of the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon.

However, this matter cannot be rushed for the time being. We need to wait until the time of extreme yin, when a large number of dragon remnant souls are most active in Longyuan, before Lu Xiaotian can take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, the risk of exposure when the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon and the lotus clone are handed over is too great.

Lu Xiaotian couldn't afford to take that risk. If exposed, the consequences would be catastrophic. Trapped in the Dragon-Slaying Guillotine for hundreds of thousands of years, he only had one chance. He'd rather wait a little longer than do something he wasn't sure of. (End of Chapter)
