166: The ruins of Eastern Wasteland, the secret scroll of the dragon clan.

Thinking that he could find Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao and inquire about space Spells similar to those of the Ancient Dragon King, Li Yan wished he could immediately separate his Soul and head to the Gui Xu Realm Abyss.

However, after a careful thought, he realized he still had to keep up appearances for now.

“My Cultivation must increase slowly to prevent them from constantly disturbing me.”

Because he deliberately didn't Cultivate, these people came to disturb him repeatedly.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and decided to play along with them, Cultivating at his usual pace.

As long as he found the Ancient Dragon King's space Spell within this year and sent his Physical Body to the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, that would be enough.

Once Li Yan entered the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, the Gui Xu Realm Abyss would become his exclusive Domain, rendering anyone else who entered useless.

While others experienced time stagnation upon entering the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, Li Yan, immune to the side effects, was completely in his element.

Sitting cross-legged again, Li Yan composed himself, placing his hands flat on his thighs, and began absorbing the spiritual liquid contained within the golden-patterned lotus platform.

As Li Yan's Cultivation slowly increased, Xu Mo, who was secretly monitoring him from outside, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Excellent, this master has finally started Cultivating. He truly is a one-in-a-million Cultivation prodigy.”

“At his Cultivation speed, he should be able to secure the Immortal Ascension Token a year from now.”

“This quality of Golden Core is Peerless Grade!”

After confirming that Li Yan had started Cultivating, Xu Mo also felt much more relaxed and flew out of the courtyard with peace of mind.

Around the Forget Dust Hall, various barriers had already been set up to prevent Li Yan from escaping.

Clearly, the Immortals of White Jade Capital placed great importance on Li Yan, this Immortal Pill, as various hidden sentries were stationed all around, monitoring and protecting Li Yan's safety at all times.

Sensing the situation outside, Li Yan sighed, “Which important figure has set their eyes on me? Achoo!”

He suddenly sneezed inexplicably, wondering which important figure was thinking of him.

With his Physical Body imprisoned here, Li Yan could only focus his energy on the Gui Xu Realm Abyss.

As he activated the Yao Jue Dao Pattern on the golden-patterned lotus platform, turning the fake into reality!

The next moment.

Accompanied by a sensation of Soul extraction and dizziness, Li Yan once again returned to that time-stagnant capital, the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, created by the Heavenly Emperor himself.

Having grown accustomed to this feeling of extraction, Li Yan was even calmer this time.

He looked around and found Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao still guarding the spot where he had disappeared.

As for his beloved disciple, Gu Qingyan, she was floating in mid-air, slowly healing her injured Physical Body.

But!

Li Yan noticed that after he left, her injuries stopped recovering.

Because without Li Yan's protection, time ultimately remained stagnant.

Li Yan raised his hand and applied the 'Side Effect Protection' status to his disciple, and at this moment, Ember Immortal's wounds were recovering at a visible speed.

This anomaly also caught the attention of Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao.

Her mountain-like Dragon body began to coil and turn, like floating mountain peaks moving within the clouds.

Her enormous Dragon head dipped down, and her golden eyes were like two golden crows hanging high in the sky.

“Little Bean Sprout, you're back?”

“What kind of Spell is that? You can appear here silently, making it impossible for anyone to detect you.”

Li Yan cleared his throat and looked up at the giant Dragon.

“Young Miss Ao.”

“Hm-hm?” Her nostrils exhaled hot air, and a scorching current swept over Li Yan's Soul.

“I have a favor to ask.”

Upon hearing Li Yan ask her for a favor, this Ancient Dragon couldn't be more delighted; she made no attempt to hide her inner pride, raising her head high.

“I can't do anything with you. Who told you that you are a young Dragon?”

“As your elder sister, I can only satisfy some of your whimsical requests.”

Li Yan's lips curved upwards, realizing that his fake Dragon son identity could still easily manipulate Ao Jiao.

He didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point, “I want to learn the Ancient Dragon King's space Spell!”

At these words, Ao Jiao's golden eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit.

“You want to learn the Ancient Dragon King's Spell?”

“No, it's too dangerous.”

Hearing Ao Jiao say this, Li Yan looked puzzled, “Why is it dangerous?”

Ao Jiao, like an elder sister, patiently explained to Li Yan, this 'young Dragon.'

“The Ancient Dragon King's Spell is in the Eastern Wasteland Ruins.”

“The Dragon Clan's secret scrolls are hidden there, guarded by the Four Fiends.”

Li Yan also grew curious about the Ancient Dragon Clan's past and pressed on, “Why guard it? Couldn't they just destroy the Dragon Clan's secret scrolls?”

Ao Jiao's enormous Dragon head let out a series of soft chuckles, “Silly boy, that's because the Ancient Dragon King used all his strength to preserve the Dragon Clan's secret scrolls before he died.”

“The Four Great Ancient Gods couldn't destroy the Dragon Clan's secret scrolls, so they could only send the Fiend Beasts to guard them in the Eastern Wasteland Ruins.”

With a few simple sentences, a scene of a world-shaking battle from ancient times had already appeared in Li Yan's mind.

The Ancient Dragon Clan suffered heavy losses in that battle, and the Ancient Dragon King also perished there.

Even the Ancient Dragon Clan and the Old Heavenly Court combined were no match for the current White Jade Capital.

What kind of deities lived in this White Jade Capital?

Li Yan asked again, “The Ancient Dragon Clan and the Old Heavenly Court combined, couldn't they defeat that White Jade Capital?”

Ao Jiao snorted disdainfully, hot air spewing from her nostrils.

“We, the Ancient Dragon Clan, disdain to ally with the Human Race, but... back then, even with the Old Heavenly Court, we indeed couldn't defeat White Jade Capital.”

“In short, the Eastern Wasteland Ruins are very dangerous. If you want to obtain the Dragon Clan's secret scrolls, I suggest you give up.”

Facing Ao Jiao's dissuasion, if it were the old Li Yan, he would definitely listen to the advice.

If there's a dangerous place, don't go if you can avoid it!

But Li Yan now only had one year of life left; how could he sit back and wait for death?

Obtaining the Dragon Clan's secret scrolls was his only hope, the only way to escape the Forget Dust Hall.

Besides, in his Soul state, he was Immortal and indestructible, so what was there to fear?

Anyway, he was going to die regardless, and in his Soul state, he could remain invincible.

So there was no reason not to take a gamble, not to get the Dragon Clan's secret scrolls!

“Since that's the case, then alright.”

Hearing Li Yan's tone, Ao Jiao nodded repeatedly, “Mm, it's good that you know the danger.”

But Li Yan's next sentence confused Ao Jiao.

“You just need to tell me the location of the Eastern Wasteland Ruins, and I'll go try it myself.”

Upon hearing that this Little Bean Sprout wanted to go by himself, Ao Jiao strongly disagreed.

“No! You're not allowed to go.”

“That place is too dangerous; it's guarded by the Four Fiends. Even I wouldn't dare to venture there rashly.”

Li Yan could feel that Ao Jiao was truly concerned about his safety.

“Sister, my dear sister, why don't you just tell me?”

He could only try to use his charm, saying a few sweet words to make this stubborn Dragon relent.

And indeed, it worked.

When a man acts charming, there's nothing a woman can do.

Those few words from the boy made this large female Dragon feel utterly weak, her small tail wagging restlessly.

However, for Li Yan's safety, Ao Jiao still gritted her teeth.

“No... no, I won't agree to it. It's too dangerous.”

Seeing that she would rather die than tell him, Li Yan's lips curved upwards.

“You won't tell me, right?”

“I have plenty of ways to find the Eastern Wasteland Ruins!”
