Chapter 154 The Senior is Back!

Dragon Domain.

The atmosphere in the Ancestral Dragon Great World was currently peaceful, with a hint of strange coziness.

Near Longyuan Hall, on the edge of a short cliff.

Several Dragon Emperors and the Dragon Domain Lord had just finished their tasks and were resting on blue stones.

"Whew, finally done with all that work."

Green Dragon Immortal Emperor rubbed his shoulders, sprawled ungracefully on the blue stone with his legs stretched out, looking up at the sky,

"Once this busy period is over, I must go to the deepest part of the Dragon Abyss and sleep for a few thousand years, and no one better wake me up. Even if the sky falls, I won't get up."

Black Dragon Immortal Emperor was just about to make a quip when a black figure flew over in a rush.

Little Black Dragon flew stumbling, nearly crashing into rocks several times along the way.

He dove into Black Dragon Immortal Emperor's arms with such force that he almost knocked him off the blue stone.

"Daddy!"

Little Black Dragon called out in a milky voice, his two chubby dragon claws grabbing his collar and shaking it hard, his little tail wagging like a windmill,

"Grass-grass has grown taller again! Just now, golden light shone from Grass-grass's body! Such beautiful, beautiful golden light!"

"What?!"

The surrounding Dragon Emperors, including the Dragon Domain Lord who had been sitting at the very front with his eyes closed to rest, felt their bodies jolt violently upon hearing the word "Grass-grass."

"A Breakthrough?"

Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor stood up abruptly, "I recall that it only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage a few dozen days ago, right? How long has it been, and it has already had another Breakthrough?"

Black Dragon Immortal Emperor scooped up his cub, the exhaustion on his face swept away, replaced by pride.

"Good! Wonderful!" Black Dragon Immortal Emperor turned to look at Green Dragon Immortal Emperor and Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor, rubbing his hands in excitement, "The Lietian Grass, which is the Incarnation of Divine Venerable Lietian, has finally reached the Golden Core Realm!

In a few dozen days, from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core—this speed, even in the most prosperous ancient era of the Dragon Clan, would definitely count as a Prodigy among Prodigies!"

Green Dragon Immortal Emperor stroked his dragon whiskers, his eyes slightly red.

He took a deep breath, his voice trembling with excitement, "Indeed... in just over three hundred days.

I remember that over three hundred days ago, Divine Venerable Lietian was just a blade of grass at the Qi Refining Stage with no cultivation at all.

At that time, I was still worried about whether it could survive the first Spiritual Qi infusion. Now, it absorbs the twilight of heaven and earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and moon day and night, and has withstood wind, rain, and Lightning Tribulation, only to form a Golden Core so quickly."

"With this cultivation speed, it is worthy of being the former War God of our Dragon Clan!"

Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor crossed his arms, his golden pupils filled with awe and anticipation, "One more Realm, and it will be the Nascent Soul. By then, Divine Venerable Lietian will probably be able to take on a human form again!"

"Our Dragon Clan has been silent for so many years, and we are finally going to welcome the return of the War God."

The Dragon Emperors looked at each other, thinking of the same thing simultaneously.

All of this had to be credited to that Senior.

Without Senior's intervention, let alone allowing the Reincarnation of Divine Venerable Lietian to grow rapidly, it would have been unknown whether the Dragon Domain could even be preserved.

He used his heaven-defying means to forcibly shift the Laws of heaven and earth, condensing the sunset glow into the purest twilight nutrients to infuse into the Lietian Grass, allowing it to complete the leap from Qi Refining to Golden Core in just over three hundred days.

The Dragon Emperors all stood up, straightened their robes, and with solemn expressions, bowed deeply toward the short peak.

Before they could straighten up,

"Hum—"

A strange humming sound echoed through heaven and earth.

The sky over the Dragon Domain suddenly dimmed.

Twilight, as if flowing from the end of the river of time, slowly replaced the azure sky.

The Dragon Emperors looked up sharply, their dragon pupils contracting suddenly.

In the sky,

The phantom of the river of time that spanned the Three Thousand Great Worlds was flowing over the Dragon Domain again.

"Whoosh—"

A towering white phantom stood in the river once more.

Seeing that familiar white phantom, the group before Longyuan Hall felt a surge of wild joy amidst their confusion.

"This aura... it's Senior!"

"Wait, look at the direction of Senior..."

Golden Dragon Immortal Emperor narrowed his eyes, observing the flow of the river, "Senior's direction... it seems to be... here?"

Everyone looked where he pointed.

After the rushing river of time penetrated the Dragon Domain barrier, it began to slowly descend toward Longyuan Hall.

That towering white phantom, as if crossing endless time and space, was walking toward them step by step.

"Senior has returned!?"

Green Dragon Immortal Emperor slapped his thigh, "I knew it! How could Senior abandon us? He must have finished his business in the Original Realm and returned specifically to visit Divine Venerable Lietian!"

"Quick! Go prepare to welcome him!"

The Dragon Domain Lord looked happy and was about to order the assembly of all the Dragon Clan's elite.

Before he could finish,

A sudden change occurred in the sky.

"Crack—"

The phantom of the river of time suddenly trembled violently.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, the phantom of the river of time spanning the Three Thousand Great Worlds collapsed and disintegrated in an instant.

The towering white phantom that had stood in the center of the river also disappeared completely the moment the river shattered.

"This... what is going on?"

Green Dragon Immortal Emperor's smile froze on his face, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. Wild joy turned into confusion and horror.

"Why did Senior's dharma image... shatter?"

"Could it be that something happened?"

Before the great hall, the Dragon Clan fell into chaos.

The atmosphere, which had been festive just a moment ago, became incomparably oppressive in the blink of an eye.

"Impossible. With Senior's strength, who in these Three Thousand Great Worlds could hurt him?"

Black Dragon Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth, staring at the sky that had returned to calm.

"But... if nothing is wrong, why would this river of time suddenly shatter?"

Everyone guessed, anxious as ants on a hot pot.

In the sky, within the remnants of the river of time, a dazzling spatial fluctuation suddenly lit up.

Deep within the fluctuation,

A blurred figure appeared in the dissipating river.

Separated by endless Star Domains, that shade of red, fresh as blood, instantly stung the eyes of all the Dragon Emperors.

Ankle red rope, peerless elegance.

"That is... the Human Race Imperial Preceptor, Jiang Wanyin!"

The Dragon Domain Lord's pupils shrank. The Dragon Clan's upper echelons were no strangers to this Human Race Imperial Preceptor.

"How could the Imperial Preceptor appear in Senior's river of time?"

"Looking at this situation, could the shattering of the river be the Imperial Preceptor blocking Senior?"

"Senior... what happened to him? Could he have been... by the Imperial Preceptor?"

Black Dragon Immortal Emperor dared not finish his sentence. A sense of foreboding rose in everyone's hearts.

Had Senior encountered an ambush by the Human Divine Court on his way back?

With even Jiang Wanyin, who had just come out of seclusion and achieved a Breakthrough to the half-step God Emperor Realm, taking action personally, this situation...

The Dragon Clan fell into deep thought and extreme worry, even beginning to secretly mobilize their Divine Power to guard against the potentially descending Human Race army.

"Hum—"

Before the great hall,

In the plaza,

The Void Realm twisted strangely, folding over and over like paper.

A lazy voice came from deep within the space,

"What kind of formation are you lot setting up..."

"The grass hasn't withered, has it?"
