141: Colorful Dragon

After dealing with Lu Ziming, Lin Mu didn't feel the anticipated joy.

Instead, he felt a strange sense of emptiness.

Lin Mu's figure flickered, and he hovered in the night sky.

By then, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Pedestrians could be vaguely seen on the roads.

Lin Mu felt a deep-seated aversion towards Sakura Country (Japan).

However, with his current state of mind, he wouldn't do anything overly drastic.

But a slight punishment was still necessary.

With a thought, Lin Mu's divine sense instantly locked onto a cluster of buildings.

He aimed in the locked direction and struck out with an ethereal palm.

Immediately, that cluster of buildings was instantly reduced to ruins.

Not even the guards were spared.

In an open space within the ruins, on a dark black stone tablet, four large characters were clearly inscribed: “Yasukuni Shrine.”

Lin Mu's casual strike was later dubbed "God's Punishment" by various media outlets in Sakura Country (Japan).

From then on, no one ever proposed rebuilding the “Yasukuni Shrine.”

But that was a story for later.

At this moment, Lin Mu had already returned to Huaxia.

Only a few hours had passed since he returned to Azure Star.

For the remaining time, he decided to take a good look at his homeland.

Perhaps this was his last time returning to Azure Star.

Lin Mu no longer had any other relatives on Azure Star.

If there was anyone he still cared about, it was only one good friend.

However, ten years had passed, and he didn't know if his friend was still alive.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu relied on his memory.

He flew towards his friend's city.

This time, Lin Mu chose not to teleport but to fly unhurriedly along the way.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder echoed in his ears.

The sound was very peculiar.

Lin Mu could clearly feel that the sound was deliberately transmitted to him.

Sure enough.

After the thunder, an aged voice entered Lin Mu's ears.

“Fellow Daoist, please stay!”

Lin Mu was startled by the words.

He was currently thousands of meters high in the air.

Could the person speaking to him also be a cultivator?

Were there actually cultivators on Azure Star?

Lin Mu couldn't help but become suspicious.

Just as he was wondering, the aged voice spoke again.

“Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to meet?”

This time, Lin Mu clearly pinpointed the speaker's location.

His figure shifted slightly, and when he reappeared, he was in a hazy space.

This space looked somewhat familiar to Lin Mu.

It was somewhat similar to the Chaos Realm that Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man) had once created.

However, the spiritual energy was extremely thin.

Suddenly, the aged voice said, “Fellow Daoist, you are well-mannered.”

Lin Mu looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a palm-sized Seven-Colored Divine Dragon, weakly lying in a formation.

Seeing this, Lin Mu took a few steps forward.

He looked at the weak Divine Dragon and slowly asked, “Were you the one speaking to me just now?”

The Divine Dragon exerted itself to lift its head and said, “Yes, it was I.”

Lin Mu's eyes couldn't help but gleam with an unusual light.

The Huaxia people have always considered themselves descendants of the dragon.

Could the Divine Dragon before him be the Ancestral Dragon of Huaxia?

Lin Mu's expression became a bit more respectful.

He asked again, “Are you the Ancestral Dragon of Huaxia?”

The Divine Dragon was visibly startled by the question.

Then it shook its head and said, “How dare I be compared to the Ancestral Dragon?”

“I am merely a Heavenly Dao Divine Dragon that has just recently been born.”

Lin Mu frowned and said, “Heavenly Dao Divine Dragon?”

“Since you are a Heavenly Dao Divine Dragon, why are you imprisoned here?”

The Divine Dragon was silent for a moment before saying, “I have been imprisoned here since my birth.”

“Hundreds of years have passed.”

“In the beginning, the spiritual energy here was very rich, and I could still use some divine abilities.”

“Thus, I could protect the mortals.”

“But as time passed, the spiritual energy here became increasingly thin.”

“Now, let alone using divine abilities, even transmitting my voice to you just now used up my last trace of spiritual power.”

Lin Mu said calmly, “Why did you call me here?”

The Divine Dragon said, “As far as I know, the mortal realm has long been depleted of spiritual energy for hundreds of years.”

“How did you cultivate to such a realm?”

“Even in my prime, I wouldn't be your match.”

Lin Mu chuckled at the words.

“I did not cultivate in this realm.”

When the Divine Dragon heard Lin Mu say this, its originally weak body surprisingly sprang up without warning.

It carefully examined Lin Mu's body.

When it saw the Primal God Power that Lin Mu inadvertently emitted, the Divine Dragon's mouth dropped open in surprise.

It trembled and said, “You… you have already achieved godhood?”

“God? You could say that,” Lin Mu said noncommittally.

Upon receiving Lin Mu's affirmative reply, the Divine Dragon immediately mimicked a human's posture and bowed to Lin Mu.

“Little Dragon greets the High God.”

“I beg the High God to rescue Little Dragon; Little Dragon will wholeheartedly benefit the mortals.”

Lin Mu looked at the Divine Dragon's devout appearance.

With a single grab, the Divine Dragon, originally confined within the formation, was easily snatched into his hand.

The Divine Dragon, held in Lin Mu's hand, showed no fear.

He said to Lin Mu with an excited expression, “Thank you, High God, for saving my life.”

Lin Mu's eyes wandered over the Divine Dragon's body for a moment.

Suddenly, he said, “Your body also seems to have been sealed.”

“This Young Master will help you one more time.”

With that, the Eye of the Primal God between Lin Mu's brows slowly opened.

Immediately, the entire space was enveloped by Primal God Power.

The Divine Dragon trembled under this power.

Just then, the third eye, emitting violent divine power, burst forth with a golden ray of light.

The light instantly entered the Divine Dragon's body.

The Divine Dragon cautiously asked in confusion, “High Immortal, this is…”

However, he hadn't finished speaking when he felt his body's originally depleted spiritual energy rapidly increasing.

As the spiritual energy grew more and more, his body gradually couldn't bear it.

It seemed as if it could explode his body at any moment.

He cried out in terror, “High God, save me! I'm going to explode!”

Lin Mu's expression remained unchanged as he said, “Explosion is what's needed. There is no establishment without destruction.”

The Divine Dragon clearly did not understand Lin Mu's words.

With a bang, the Divine Dragon's body was burst open by the violent spiritual energy.

The Divine Dragon's divine soul floated in the air, filled with terror.

He watched as his shattered body was enveloped by the violent spiritual energy.

Just as he was about to ask Lin Mu the reason again, Lin Mu grabbed with one hand.

The violent spiritual energy, enveloping his colored body, was seized by Lin Mu.

It formed a ball of spiritual light in Lin Mu's hand.

Lin Mu grabbed at the Divine Dragon with his other hand, and the Divine Dragon's divine soul was also seized by him.

Lin Mu said softly, “Feel this power with your heart. How far you can grow in the future depends on how much you can comprehend now.”

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he threw his divine soul into the light ball.

Even if the Divine Dragon was an idiot at this moment, he knew this was a heaven-sent opportunity.

He put away his scattered thoughts and earnestly comprehended this power within the light ball.

Approximately an hour later, the rapidly rotating light ball suddenly stopped.

And the light ball was rapidly shrinking.

Until finally, the light ball completely disappeared.

And what appeared before Lin Mu was a brand new Divine Dragon.

At this moment, the Divine Dragon had transformed from its original five colors into a Seven-Colored Divine Dragon.
