63: Set off

“Dragon meat from the heavens, donkey meat from the earth, woohoo, it’s so delicious!”

“I never thought that I, Li Yuanbao, would have the chance to eat the legendary Dragon meat in this life!”

In the courtyard, the aroma of meat wafted, spreading for miles.

A large cauldron bubbled with stewing Dragon meat, and next to it, two sizzling, oily golden Dragon tendons were roasting.

They were a full half-meter thick.

Li Yuanbao and the other two surrounded the cauldron, wolfing down pieces of Dragon meat.

After their cultivation advanced to the Quasi-Emperor stage, they could finally eat large portions of meat, no longer having to just watch with a bowl of soup.

To the side.

Wu Ning placed Little Sky Fox on the table and was feeding her sliced roasted Dragon tendons.

The Little One was tiny, but her appetite was not small.

Wu Ning had already fed her several plates of Dragon meat and Dragon tendons.

“Ying ying…”

Little Sky Fox extended her pink little tongue and licked Wu Ning’s finger, then lowered her small head.

Wu Ning smiled and stroked her head, “Are you full?”

“Ying ying…”

Little Sky Fox narrowed her eyes contentedly, her nine little tails gently swaying behind her.

On the other side of the table.

Little Green Bird had a large plate of Dragon tendons in front of her and was engrossed in eating.

Wu Ning found that this Little One was a glutton; all day long she just ate and ate, and following him for the past three years, she had gained several sizes.

When she became small, she looked chubby, which was quite cute.

Now that she didn't need to serve as a mount, Wu Ning wasn't worried about whether she could fly if she got too fat.

After feeding Little Sky Fox, Wu Ning also began to fill his own stomach.

The taste and texture of the Dragon meat were indeed good, better than that of the Sky Dog’s meat, but not significantly so.

“I wonder what True Dragon tastes like…”

Wu Ning thought as he ate.

The Black Dragon Clan of Tianxuan Continent were merely wild, mixed-breed Dragons, not on the same level as True Dragons at all.

However, it was likely that only Major Thousand Worlds like the Taichu Ancient Realm would have pure-blooded True Dragons.

Soon after, a guest arrived at the mountain villa.

“Fellow Daoist Wu.”

Yan Qi smiled and cupped his hands, being extremely polite.

“Elder Brother Yan, why are you being so polite with me? What brings you here?”

Wu Ning smiled and made a gesture of support.

Yan Qi took out a Storage Ring and handed it to him, “Little Brother Wu, these are the Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals we confiscated from the Dragon Clan and Yao Race. I heard you needed them, so I brought them to you.”

“Oh?”

Wu Ning’s Divine Sense swept over it, and his eyes immediately lit up.

The Spirit Crystals piled up like a mountain, totaling over two hundred billion!

There were even more Spirit Stones, at least three trillion, and all of them were Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Yan Qi smiled and said, “More than half of those Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals came from the Dragon Clan. Their accumulated wealth over generations is indeed astonishing.”

As he spoke, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Two hundred billion Spirit Crystals—even as a Great Emperor, he had never seen so many Spirit Crystals.

“Haha, I do indeed need Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals, so I won’t be polite with you all.”

Wu Ning smiled and put them away.

“Elder Brother Yan, if you have nothing else, why not sit down and eat with us?”

Yan Qi’s gaze swept over the scene, and he was immediately tempted.

“Little Brother, I wonder if this is the meat of that old fellow, the Dragon Emperor? I’ve been coveting him for a long time!”

“So Elder Brother likes the Dragon Emperor’s meat. It’s a small matter, I’ll chop off one of his legs for you to taste right now.”

“Haha, Little Brother, you understand me!”

…

The next day.

Wu Ning returned to Great Jin with Li Yuanbao and the other two.

Great Jin was still the same Great Jin as before, with peace and prosperity, as always.

Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian each went back to their homes, to their mothers.

Wu Ning also returned to the Prince Yan's Mansion with Zhang Liang.

In the following days, the continent underwent turbulent changes, but Great Jin, this remote little place, was not affected at all.

Wu Ning’s life returned to peace, daily eating, drinking, teasing foxes, and playing with birds.

It was as if he had returned to the past.

However, half a month later, something unexpected happened to him.

His former fiancée, Lin Qingyao, had now transformed and become the Saintess of the Taiyin Holy Land in Li'an Prefecture. She had returned home in splendid attire, causing quite a stir in Shangjing City.

This Taiyin Holy Land was a Holy Land that revered women, possessing Saint King level experts.

Lin Qingyao possessed the Taiyin Profound Physique. Three years ago, she was noticed by a wandering Grand Elder of the Taiyin Holy Land, who took her as a Disciple and brought her back to the Taiyin Holy Land.

Afterward, with the help of the Grand Elder of the Taiyin Holy Land, her Taiyin Profound Physique transformed into the Taiyin Saint Physique, and she instantly became a top-tier Prodigy, assuming the position of Saintess.

Her fortune could be considered extraordinary.

After Lin Qingyao returned to Shangjing City, she visited the Prince Yan's Mansion the next day to pay her respects.

Wu Ning met her once.

After three years, she had indeed changed remarkably.

Lin Qingyao had changed a lot; her temperament was gentle and serene, and her demeanor was elegant and refined, truly possessing some of the Saintess’s bearing.

She was like a completely different person from the arrogant Princess Qingyao of yesteryear.

If Wu Ning hadn’t secretly checked her Soul aura, he would have thought she had been taken by Possession.

It seemed that seeing the world had made her grow a lot.

Wu Ning casually chatted with her for a few sentences, then let her leave.

The past was like fleeting clouds; they were not people from the same world. Seeing her now was a way of drawing a close to the past.

Time flew by, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, a several-tens-of-thousands-of-feet-long flying boat soared through the sky from Great Jin, disappearing into the vast sea of clouds.

On the Tianxuan Continent, many Great Emperors looked up at the sky, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

No one felt at ease with a mysterious and terrifying existence pressing down on them. Now that the other party had left, they all felt instantly much lighter.

From now on, the Tianxuan Continent would still be dominated by them!

…

“So this is what the starry sky looks like?”

On the Starry Sky Flying Boat, several people looked at the boundless starry sky, some feeling shocked, others a little disappointed.

The starry sky was not as beautiful as imagined; instead, it was silent and deep, dim and lightless, without any sound, terrifyingly dead, with no distinction of up, down, left, or right. There was deep darkness everywhere, giving a sense of unknown fear.

It was as if some incomparably terrifying horror lurked within that darkness.

However, in some extremely distant places, bright specks of light could indeed be seen.

Those specks of light were all stars.

The Tianxuan Continent was called a continent, but it was actually a star, an extremely massive star.

Half of it was ocean, and half was land.

From the starry sky, one could gaze upon her beauty in its entirety.

Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian had a trace of reluctance in their eyes.

Time flew by in the starry sky; by the time they returned, things would probably have changed beyond recognition.

However, they didn’t feel too much reluctance. To travel through the starry sky, they had specifically learned a Clone technique.

Both of them had condensed a Clone and left it in Great Jin. As long as their main body did not die, the Clone would not dissipate, so they no longer had any worries.

Wu Ning was currently examining the star map left by Saint King Tianyuan.

He had originally planned to follow Saint King Tianyuan’s route, but now he had changed his mind.

Saint King Tianyuan was, after all, only a Saint King back then, and he couldn't travel too far in the starry sky, at most just visiting the star systems around the Tianxuan Continent.

Wu Ning didn't want to waste time and planned to go directly to the most prosperous Star Domain in the Universe.
