Chapter 1596: Chapter 164: Curtain Falls (Part 5)

Venerable Yuan Huo sought out several "old friends" in succession.

The responses he received were all similar.

Finally.

He waited at the Second Realm exit and encountered the "distinguished person" who could truly give answers.

A flash of lightning darted out from the Realm Mountain, its speed not quick.

This lightning landed in front of Ao Ying.

The Qilin Miaofa True Monarch gradually revealed his figure, alongside Cui Zhen.

At this moment, Cui Zhen no longer needed to conceal his appearance as a woman; he changed into a clean and agile black shirt, but still wore a bamboo hat, looking much the same as before... Venerable Yuan Huo recognized at a glance that this was the second extraordinary "maid" beside Junior Brother Lu.

Ao Ying remained in place, eyes closed, resting quietly.

She received the Lotus Token’s message, knowing the great battle was over, thus relieved at heart.

She knew.

There was nothing she needed to do; Xie Xuanyi would come to find her.

As for the troubles she had stirred earlier...

With Xie Xuanyi present.

No need to worry.

"True Monarch, my lord."

Venerable Yuan Huo stepped forward respectfully, offering a deep bow, speaking somewhat fearfully.

He was no fool; having discreetly learned from Ao Ying about "Junior Brother Lu’s" identity, Yuan Huo vaguely understood many things.

Previously, it was likely that the Miaofa True Monarch helped him due to Junior Brother Lu’s assistance.

The relationship with his Master was probably just an excuse.

After all.

Although Chi Fu Dragon Lord had reputation, his strength was not as great as True Monarch’s.

What could he, merely a disciple, have done to be favored by such a character, to be held in high regard?

"...Hm?"

Miaofa True Monarch glanced at Yuan Huo, a bit perplexed.

He didn’t have much impression of Yuan Huo anymore.

"Yuan Huo."

Cui Zhen raised an eyebrow, saying, "Why haven’t you left yet? What are you staying here for?"

Though he no longer showed himself as a woman.

Yet his figure was still slender and elegant, and his voice was soft, coupled with the bamboo hat he wore, Yuan Huo for a moment had the illusion that the person before him was a delicate woman.

But recalling what Ao Ying said earlier.

This was an immensely important figure from the Ancient Dragon Court.

Appearing together with Miaofa True Monarch further confirmed such a notion.

Yuan Huo sighed, respectfully said, "Senior, there is something heavy on my heart that I can’t let go. Miss Ao told me to leave first, but I want to clear it up."

"Senior?"

Cui Zhen laughed softly.

What a good chap, even calling ’Senior’...

Cui Zhen looked to Ao Ying, who blinked her eyes.

"Ask away."

Cui Zhen boldly said, hands behind his back.

"Does the Ancient Dragon Court truly exist?"

Venerable Yuan Huo cautiously pondered for a long time and eked out this question, adding quickly before his inquiry was complete, "Senior can rest assured, Yuan’s mouth is tight; I will never leak it."

"Ancient Dragon Court??"

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch was taken aback by the words.

He looked puzzled, gazing at Cui Zhen, who returned a subtle and calm look.

"Naturally."

Cui Zhen knew the deeds of Xie Xuanyi.

He smiled, saying, "It not only exists, but it’s even stronger than you imagine."

As the words fell.

Cui Zhen released a thread of Divine Thought.

Boom!

In that instant.

Venerable Yuan Huo’s pupils contracted, for a moment, he perceived that the handsome Great Demon dressed in black shirt and bamboo hat before him was transforming behind into a jet-black True Dragon Dharma, immediately causing the entire world to change; the surrounding mountains, above head and the entire sky vault... all seemed enveloped by this massive True Dragon Dharma, with blood qi as vast as the sea scouring his spirit, and skeletal body.

He saw an immense and boundless Dao Domain.

The world comprised solely of Yin Yang two hues.

Astonished.

Astonished beyond compare.

In the next moment, the world returned to tranquil deathly silence; that enormous True Dragon seemed to have never appeared, with the handsome Great Demon in black clothing instantly pulling back all aura... as if becoming an ordinary person, Venerable Yuan Huo stood dumbstruck, fully aware of what this meant.

The realm of the person before him far surpassed his own.

That "Miss Ao" informed him, accompanying Junior Brother Lu was the second person, a Yin God Great Perfection.

Ridiculous.

This was absolutely false information.

This was clearly a Yang God Great Venerable... and a particularly mighty one!

"Well?"

Cui Zhen smiled, asking, "Do you believe it now?"

"...I believe."

Venerable Yuan Huo used all his strength to barely stand firm.

Complex in expression, he gazed at the bamboo hat-wearing handsome Great Demon.

If it’s true that.

This exceptionally powerful Yang God Great Venerable is just a servant beside his "Junior Brother Lu."

Then, just how powerful must Junior Brother Lu be?

After a long pause.

"So... my Junior Brother..."

Venerable Yuan Huo arduously spoke.

"Since I’m like this, he naturally is the master of the Ancient Dragon Court."

Cui Zhen laughed, "But you better keep this secret buried in your heart. If this leaks out, it will do you no good."

After that.

Cui Zhen waved his hand, leaving first with Miaofa True Monarch.

"What was it about the Ancient Dragon Court you mentioned earlier..."

True Monarch muttered.

"Xie Xuanyi started it, fake."

Cui Zhen said lazily.

"Then what were you just now..."

True Monarch was surprised, witnessing the fleeting Yin Yang Dao Domain with his own eyes, did Big Brother Cui Zhen actually provide false evidence?

"This Ancient Dragon Court, I’m somewhat involved."

Cui Zhen chuckled, saying, "In fact, if you’re willing, you can also take part. Would you like to join?"

He remembered.

When Xie Xuanyi first established the Ancient Dragon Court, he invited him.

He neither agreed nor refused.

Thinking carefully.

The thought was indeed intriguing.

A thousand years ago, among the three Great Holy Lands with the most abundant Qi Fortune in the Demon Country, only two were left. Whereas the Ancient Dragon Court, once flourishing with incense, re-emerged a thousand years later... astonishingly founded by a Human Race Sword Cultivator himself.

Cui Zhen enjoyed such interesting matters.

Over time.

The fact that the Ancient Dragon Court still exists... this news might spread through the Demon Country.

By then, many will indeed believe that the Ancient Dragon Court never vanished.

Many things are indeed thus "reborn from death."

Cause and effect, cause and effect.

All it needs is just a little [cause].

Which grows into countless, myriad [effects] in the future.

"Does this not feel like self-deception... the real Ancient Dragon Court was wiped out a thousand years ago..."

True Monarch sighed lightly, feeling rather helpless, "Big Brother, aren’t your actions a bit childish?"

After all, he was the second Harmonizer in a thousand years.

Unleashing the Harmonization Dao Domain.

Just to fool a young "child" like Yuan Huo?

"Ha..."

Cui Zhen merely laughed openly, without further explanation.

"North Swamp."

Raising his hands to cradle his head, leisurely expressed, "You asked me earlier what I plan to do after today... Honestly, I haven’t yet decided. Besides returning to Snow Mountain to sleep, I might engage in some amusing endeavors."

Rebuilding the Ancient Dragon Court should count as one such amusing matter?

Demon Cultivators really don’t require much Primordial Energy for cultivation.

As long as the Bloodline secret hoard is sufficiently rich.

Even if the Primordial Energy dries up, most Demon Cultivators can still ascend.

And the Ancient Dragon Court’s secret techniques can precisely solve these issues.

Ao Ying’s [Red Dragon Fortune] is a crucial Creation, combined with Cui Zhen’s [Ultimate Poison Sacred Realm], having the Great Creation Technique can very well bring back the ancient secret techniques of the Ancient Dragon Court.

"Should..."

True Monarch pondered for a moment, seriously said, "If Big Brother you wish to leave your name within the Ancient Dragon Court, then I, North Swamp, also desire to stake a claim."
