Chapter 1238 - 1235: Fame Across the Central Sky Region

The night was deep, with a waning moon slowly emerging from the thin clouds. In the pale moonlight, two figures could be seen swiftly traversing the night, moving at an incredible speed.

After covering twenty or thirty miles, Luo Feng stopped before a tranquil mountain valley.

"We will rest here tonight."

There was no rush to return to Panlong City. Besides, Luo Feng had exchanged several intense moves with Blood Crow Elder earlier, resulting in significant internal injuries. If these wounds were left unattended for too long, they might develop into chronic conditions, affecting his future cultivation.

"Alright."

Jiang Fengfeng had also been injured during the fierce battle. Upon hearing this, she immediately nodded.

The two entered the valley, each finding a flat spot, and after taking some medicinal pills, they began to meditate and recuperate.

While they were recovering from their injuries, news of what happened on Group Dragon Island spread rapidly throughout the Canglang Dynasty.

The most concerning matter for everyone was the selection and ranking of the Top Ten New Dragons at this year’s New Dragon List Conference.

When everyone learned about this year’s selection of the Top Ten New Dragons, their first reaction was shock!

More than half of the established Top Ten New Dragons were eliminated, which was unprecedented. And when they learned that Luo Feng had consecutively defeated Leng Feifan, Lu Xiao Yun, and Jian Wuji to become the first New Dragon, the shock immediately turned into astonishment.

If Yu Bufan had become the leading New Dragon, people would not be too surprised. However, Luo Feng had entered the Golden Palace for just a year, and in everyone’s eyes, neither his fame nor strength could possibly contend with Jian Wuji.

But now, the impossible had become possible. This fact brought a tremendous impact to everyone.

People began to feel that the era of Jian Wuji had ended, and now it was Luo Feng’s era.

Big Market City, City Lord Mansion.

The Tianlin mansion echoed with hurried footsteps, as three youthful figures rushed into the City Lord Mansion’s council hall.

Sitting at the top of the hall was a woman of serene temperament: Luo Feng’s cousin Luo Ying.

At this moment, Luo Ying held a letter, and a faint ripple of shock lingered in her eyes, as beautiful as water.

"Sister Ying... Sister Ying, I heard that people from the Dayang Commerce Alliance brought news, and there are results from the New Dragon List! Let me see the letter."

The ones who had rushed into the council hall were Zi Ling, Xiao Yue, and Xiao Sang. Upon seeing the letter in Luo Ying’s hands, Zi Ling’s eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately stepped forward, wanting to take the letter.

"I am the elder sister; I should read it first."

Seeing Zi Ling reaching for the letter, Xiao Yue swiftly intercepted, blocking Zi Ling’s path.

"I am the elder sister, so move aside. Otherwise, I won’t be polite." Zi Ling glared, her fair right palm enveloped in a dark red glow, poised to strike.

"Hmph, I’m not afraid of you. Fine then, today let’s determine a winner; whoever wins gets to read the letter first." Xiao Yue stomped the ground, causing it to tremble slightly and assumed a stance.

"Tyrant Flame Return Wind!"

Xiao Yue struck first, her unyielding fist carrying a relentless momentum, rubbing the air until it seemed slightly twisted, as if about to ignite at any moment.

"Flame Wind Jade Moon Palm!" Refusing to be outdone, Zi Ling spun half a circle with her petite body, her right palm slicing down like a blade, tracing a line of flame-edged jade moon in the void.

Bang!

As fists and palms clashed, a thunderous sound erupted, with both Zi Ling and Xiao Yue retreating five steps each.

"Elder sisters, please stop fighting..."

Seeing that Zi Ling and Xiao Yue were still intent on a showdown, Xiao Sang stepped between them, trying to prevent their fight, her petite, charming face flushed red.

Luo Ying showed a helpless smile. This pair of little nemeses, Zi Ling and Xiao Yue, had been at odds since they met, each striving to outdo the other in every way, even in cultivation.

Now both had stepped into the eighth realm of the Meridian Wheel, progressing rapidly. Because of this, Luo Ying also allowed them to have their little contests secretly.

Handing the letter to Xiao Sang, Luo Ying said, "Xiao Sang, you read it."

"Okay..."

Xiao Sang received the letter, nodded, and carefully extracted the paper from the envelope.

Xiao Yue and Zi Ling couldn’t even continue their skirmish, both focusing their attention intently on the letter in Xiao Sang’s hand, their eyes filled with urgency.

As Xiao Sang unfolded the letter, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, her small mouth opened slightly, and joy and disbelief glimmered in her eyes.

"Xiao Sang, has Young Master become one of the Top Ten New Dragons?"

"Tell us quickly!"

Zi Ling and Xiao Yue urged impatiently.

Xiao Sang snapped out of her daze, looked up at Zi Ling and Xiao Yue, and said in a daze, "Young Master... he is the first New Dragon!"

Gasp.

Two intakes of breath echoed simultaneously, followed by crisp cheers bursting out of the council hall.

Panlong City.

Heartfelt laughter echoed from within the City Lord Mansion, resounding for a long time.

Luotian reread the contents of the Spirit Mirror several times, smiling at Yang Qing beside him:

"Qinger, did you see? Our Feng Er is the first New Dragon! He even defeated Jian Wuji. He is a true genius! No one in the entire Canglang Dynasty can compare to him."

Yang Qing wiped her eyes, nodded with red eyes.

"Why are you crying on such a joyous day?" Luotian asked.

Yang Qing retorted, "I’m happy, okay!"

Because of the New Dragon List Conference, Luo Xiao also returned to Panlong City. Looking at the inscriptions floating in the Spirit Mirror, he exclaimed excitedly, "Before the New Dragon List Conference, I only hoped my second brother could become one of the Top Ten New Dragons. I never expected him to defeat all the experts of the Six Golden Palaces and become the head of the Top Ten New Dragons. My second brother is indeed incredible!"

Luotian and Yang Qing couldn’t agree more. They never dared to imagine Luo Feng becoming the first New Dragon before.

Luotian, in high spirits, said to Luo Xiao, "Xiao Er, make the arrangements immediately. For the next three days, the gates of Panlong City will be wide open, inviting guests from all sides to celebrate your second brother becoming the first New Dragon."

"Yes!"

Luo Xiao nodded and was about to leave when Yang Qing said, "Send a Spirit Mirror for Feng Er to visit us. I wish to see him."

Luotian shook his head and said to Yang Qing, "Qinger, I know you miss Feng Er. But now that he is the first New Dragon, according to the rules of the previous New Dragon List Conferences, he will soon face the challenge of being the first of the Six Great Golden Palaces in the Six Northern Domains. He needs to focus on cultivation now. We as parents shouldn’t disturb him at this time. Once things are settled, Feng Er will naturally return."

"Okay."

Yang Qing remained silent for a moment, then nodded, though the trace of longing in her eyes was unmistakable.

...

Central Sky Region.

The entire space was chaotic, with endless bolts of lightning streaking across the sky, dazzlingly bright; occasionally, streamers of heavenly fire collided with the Yin Cold Qi, producing ear-shattering sounds that filled one with dread.

Amid the endless chaotic space, a continuous mountain range hovered.

Everywhere in the mountains, there were Sky-piercing Precipitous Peaks, straight as swords; some bloomed with flowers, some were lush and elegant, some were surrounded by waterfalls, others encircled by countless thundering electric dragons. The dense Yuan Qi formed thick mists, swirling around the mountain peaks and streams, with cranes playing among the clouds, gibbon cries, and bird songs—a scene of harmony like a fairyland, in stark contrast to the chaotic world outside.

Atop a peak, a tall figure of an unrivaled beauty stood before a palace made of jade.

The woman wore a pale green dress, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, her eyes like stars gazing at the bright crescent moon in the sky, her demeanor ethereal, unlike any mortal woman.

"The New Dragon List Conference should be over by now. He likely participated in this New Dragon List Conference. I wonder how it turned out..."
