Xiao Ling had never expected that he would draw such a treasure with a deep connection to that Buddha senior; it was truly an unexpected stroke of luck. He carefully read the detailed information recorded on the Boundary-Breaking Talisman, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"The Ancestral Realm level is equivalent to the Dou Di Realm in the Dou Qi Continent. This talisman can break a Dou Di-level restriction once. Such a treasure is most suitable to rescue my father-in-law, Zhu Kun, who is trapped in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave."

Xiao Ling originally planned to wait until his strength was consolidated, the Soul Clan was destroyed, the world was at peace, and all eight pieces of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade were collected before he would rescue Zhu Kun.

Now that we have the Boundary-Breaking Talisman, we no longer need to wait for that time.

With this treasure in his possession, he could break the seal at any time and free Zhukun from the restrictions of the ancient emperor's cave.

With a peak combat power like Zhu Kun by his side, Xiao Ling naturally had a high degree of certainty in his future plans, and he never even entertained the thought that he would be no match for the Soul Emperor.

Meanwhile, Zhu Kun, who was guarding the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave in the magma world beneath Canaan Academy on the Northwest Continent, never imagined that he, who had been trapped here for thousands of years, would have the opportunity to break free and see the light of day again in just a few days.

Having decided on a rescue plan, Xiao Ling stopped thinking about it and turned his gaze to the Nine Profound Golden Thunder churning in the sea of ​​lightning.

He proactively released his absolute control over lightning, and vast lightning-attribute energy converged like rivers flowing into the sea, continuously surging towards the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, fully assisting it in rapidly restoring its original cultivation.

Time flies, and another half month has passed in a flash. The Nine Profound Golden Lightning in the Sea of ​​Lightning has also fully recovered its peak strength, finally reaching a formidable power comparable to a peak Seven-Star Dou Sheng.

"Father, I've fully recovered. Can we leave now?"

Jin Chen immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning, hovering beside Xiao Ling. His youthful, clear voice, filled with joy, gently rang out above the sea of ​​lightning.

Xiao Ling smiled gently and replied softly, "Now that you have recovered, let's set off. I will guide you in the right direction."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chen was overjoyed and instantly transformed into a thunder dragon. With a gentle sway of its golden body, it affectionately approached Xiao Ling, its bright dragon eyes gazing at him: "Father, come on up, let me carry you!"

Xiao Ling laughed loudly, said no more, and with a light leap, landed steadily on the broad back of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder dragon. Then he raised his hand and gently gestured towards the direction of Ancient Dragon Island.

Jin Chen understood immediately, and his body suddenly surged with boundless golden light, transforming into a dazzling golden lightning bolt that shot straight through the air at unparalleled speed.

Where the dragon's body swept past, the vast sea of ​​lightning surged endlessly, and thunder roared. In just a moment, the golden lightning dragon carrying Xiao Ling completely broke through the void lightning pool and disappeared into the depths of the boundless sea of ​​lightning, leaving no trace.

……

In the boundless void, Ancient Dragon Island floated silently.

Now, the four islands of Ancient Dragon Island have been reunited. Under the leadership of the new Dragon Emperor Zi Yan and the management of her powerful subordinates, the island is in good order and presents a peaceful and orderly scene.

During this period, thanks to Ziyan's tireless efforts in sending messages and searching, many clan elders who left Ancient Dragon Island and roamed the void years ago have returned to their homeland.

The reason these ancient dragon elders left the island was to search for the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor Zhukun.

Although the Dragon Emperor himself has not yet been found, Princess Ziyan, who possesses the pure bloodline of the Dragon Emperor, has returned and successfully succeeded to the throne. Furthermore, there are reports that His Majesty Zhukun is still alive and has not perished.

As a result, the ancient dragon elders who were wandering in the void naturally had no reason to continue wandering outside, and they set off one after another to return to the ancient dragon island.

In fact, every now and then, the elders of the clan would make a special trip to the magma world beneath Canaan Academy to visit the former Dragon Emperor Zhukun, who was trapped there.

After all, in the hearts of the older generation of powerful members of the Ancient Dragon Clan, Zhu Kun's status was still extremely high.

This gave Zhukun, who had been lonely for thousands of years, a rare bit of life. He could now chat with the elders from time to time and no longer had to be trapped alone in front of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, spending his days in slumber.

In the boundless void not far from Ancient Dragon Island, a dazzling golden streak of light suddenly pierced the sky, sweeping past at a terrifying speed that was almost instantaneous. Wherever the streak of light passed, clear ripples appeared in the space, and even the raging void currents were dispersed. It rushed straight toward Ancient Dragon Island.

Sensing this sudden and powerful energy fluctuation, all the powerful figures on Ancient Dragon Island who had any sense of it turned their gazes toward the depths of the void.

Several elders who had recently returned to their clan sensed this aura and frowned slightly. Just as they were about to make a move, a clansman who knew the inside story quietly signaled to them that the person who had returned was Xiao Ling, the Daoist consort of the current Dragon Emperor Zi Yan and the universally acknowledged Prince Consort of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Upon hearing this, the elders immediately understood. The solemnity on their faces vanished, replaced by a sense of friendliness and anticipation. They all headed towards the direction from which the streak of light was coming, hoping to take this opportunity to become acquainted with this powerful ancient dragon prince.

At Xiao Ling's command, Jin Chen immediately restrained the surging lightning power around him, gradually slowed his flight, and came to a steady stop in front of the spatial barrier surrounding Ancient Dragon Island.

Xiao Ling then stepped forward slowly, flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of gentle yet absolutely controlling battle qi emerged, easily breaking a passage in the solid spatial barrier. Then, he led Jin Chen, who had transformed into human form, straight into the Ancient Dragon Island.

As soon as he landed, Xiao Ling's gaze fell directly on Elder Zhu Li's familiar figure, behind whom stood several ancient dragon clan experts whose features were somewhat unfamiliar.

He immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands slightly to Zhu Li, and said with a faint smile, "Elder Zhu Li, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Elder Zhuli returned the greeting with a smile, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Ling with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Xiao Ling, you have certainly made a lot of progress on this trip."

His gaze immediately fell on Jin Chen, the blond-haired man beside Xiao Ling, but he didn't ask about his background. Instead, he raised his hand and waved to the elders behind him, smiling as he introduced him to Xiao Ling.

"Xiao Ling, come over and get acquainted. These are all elders of my Ancient Dragon Clan who went out to explore the void, and they have only recently returned."

Following Elder Zhuli's words, Xiao Ling looked up at the ancient dragon clan elders and, with a quick glance, discerned their auras.

The weakest among them was at the level of a four-star Dou Sheng, while the most powerful had already reached the peak of a six-star Dou Sheng. He sighed inwardly; the ancient dragon clan's foundation was indeed terrifying. Even the elder-level experts who had fled into the void were not to be underestimated.

With a slight thought, Xiao Ling stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting to the elders, and said in a clear and polite voice, "Junior Xiao Ling greets seniors."

Upon seeing this, the elders of the ancient dragon clan quickly returned the greeting with smiles, their gazes falling on Xiao Ling with undisguised admiration and appreciation.

They clearly sensed the unfathomable and vast aura emanating from Xiao Ling's body. Although they had long heard of the extraordinary strength of this ancient dragon prince consort, they never imagined that at such a young age, his cultivation would be so terrifying. He was truly a prodigy, a fearsome young man, and a perfect match for their Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the elders and bidding farewell to Elder Zhuli and the others, Xiao Ling took Jin Chen's hand and walked slowly towards the main hall of Ancient Dragon Island.

Xiao Ling's face was already known to everyone in the Ancient Dragon Clan. With this well-known identity, the guards on duty immediately let them pass respectfully, and the two successfully entered the main hall.

Inside the hall, Little Fairy Doctor, Qinglin, and Ziyan were already waiting. Sensing the commotion, all three of their gazes turned toward the entrance.

However, the three women's gazes quickly fell on the blond boy beside Xiao Ling, who was holding his hand tightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in their eyes.

Before the three could even ask a question, Jin Chen opened her clear, innocent golden eyes, looked up at Xiao Ling, then pointed her little finger at Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan, and asked in a soft, clear voice:
"Father, are these three...the mother you told me about before?"

Upon hearing the childish "Father" and "Mother," Xiao Yixian, Qinglin, and Ziyan froze, stunned on the spot, staring at Xiao Ling with disbelief, their faces full of astonishment and confusion.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling's expression changed slightly. Fearing that the three women might misunderstand, he quickly spoke up to explain before they could speculate, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness mixed with a gentle smile.

"Don't overthink it. This little guy's true form is the Nine Profound Golden Thunder from the Void Thunder Pool. This time, I went to the Void Thunder Pool to cultivate and help him gather his spiritual energy and shape his soul, allowing him to develop complete intelligence. So I took him in and adopted him as my godson, naming him Xiao Jinchen. From now on, he can be considered your child."

After listening to Xiao Ling's detailed explanation, Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan all breathed a sigh of relief, and the surprise and doubt they had felt earlier instantly disappeared.

They had genuinely believed that Xiao Ling had secretly brought back another child while he was away cultivating, since it wasn't impossible for him to do something like that, given his personality.

Knowing the truth now, they couldn't help but smile, and their gazes toward Jin Chen instantly softened and warmed.

Xiao Ling picked up the conversation, pointed to Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan, and said gently to Jin Chen, "Chen'er, these three are your mothers. Hurry up and come forward to greet them."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chen immediately took short steps forward, tilted her delicate and adorable face up, and bowed in a soft and clear voice, saying, "Chen'er greets the three mothers."

Hearing the sweet "Mother" from him soften their hearts, the three women smiled gently and looked at Jin Chen with even more tenderness.

Zi Yan stood up from the table, took a few quick steps forward, reached out and gently stroked Jin Chen's soft golden hair, and said with a smile, "The little guy is quite well-behaved and sensible. If you stay on Gulong Island in the future, you must listen to your mothers. If you dare to cause trouble, your mothers will teach you a good lesson."

"Yes, yes, Chen'er understands!" Jin Chen nodded vigorously, his little face full of seriousness. "Chen'er will definitely be obedient from now on and will never cause trouble. Whatever Mother asks Chen'er to do, Chen'er will do!"

Even though his own strength was already extremely formidable, Jin Chen showed no arrogance or domineering attitude whatsoever. On the contrary, he was very sensible and knew his place. This humble and obedient attitude further increased the goodwill and affection that Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan had for him.

Xiao Ling looked at Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan, and gently instructed them,

"This little guy has only been sentient for a short time and is still ignorant of many things and common sense in the world. In the future, when you have time, talk to him more and teach him these things."

Qinglin covered her mouth and chuckled upon hearing this, looking at Xiao Ling with gentle eyes: "Young Master, this little guy is, after all, your adopted son. As his father, why don't you personally teach him properly?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling scratched his head, a hint of helplessness in his expression, and said with a wry smile,

"Qinglin, as you know, I'm not good at this kind of thing, and I have no experience. Besides, I have a lot of things to deal with, so I'm really willing but unable to do it."

Afterwards, Xiao Ling chatted with the three women for a few more minutes about the current situation and daily affairs of Gulong Island. Then, the group slowly left the main hall and headed towards the quiet courtyard deep inside Gulong Island.

Xiao Xi'er, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, spotted the familiar figure at a glance. A joyful smile instantly spread across her face. She immediately leaped up, her small figure soaring into the air like a light butterfly, swiftly flying towards Xiao Ling. Her soft, sweet voice, filled with longing, echoed far and wide: "Daddy!"

In the courtyard pavilion, Xiao Chen and Xiao Xuan, who were sitting quietly enjoying tea, couldn't help but smile at each other upon seeing this heartwarming scene, their eyes filled with gentleness and comfort.

Xiao Ling reached out and steadily caught his daughter who was running towards him. He gently kissed her delicate and lovely face, his eyes full of doting smiles: "My good daughter, Daddy has missed you so much."

Xiao Xi'er also leaned in and gave Xiao Ling a soft peck on the cheek. Her little face was beaming with a sweet smile as she said in a soft, sweet voice, "Daddy, Xi'er misses Daddy so much! So, so much."

Little Fairy Doctor gently stroked Xi'er's hair, pointed to Jin Chen beside her, and said softly, "Xi'er, your father specially brought back a younger brother for you this time. From now on, you will be the older sister. You must teach your younger brother well."

Upon hearing Little Fairy Doctor's words, Xi'er immediately looked in the direction of Jin Chen, her big eyes filled with curiosity.

Xiao Jinchen felt slightly awkward under her gaze and whispered:
"elder sister."

Xi'er's lips curled up slightly, and she immediately puffed out her little chest, looking like a little adult. She said to Jin Chen in a clear voice, "From now on, no matter what happens on this Ancient Dragon Island, just come to me! There's no problem on this Ancient Dragon Island that I can't solve!"

Jin Chen nodded vigorously and obediently replied, "I understand, sister, I will definitely listen to you."

As he spoke, the little boy secretly vowed to himself, "From now on, no matter what, I will protect my sister!" (End of Chapter)
