Its child was also a dragon, a small one.
According to what it said, the Dragon Clan should not have fallen for too long. Its children were still young, so it was not assured to pass them on to the inheritor.
That was because the more they got, the more responsibility they would have to bear.
That startled Gu Chaoyan.
She was not sure if she could protect this little dragon.
After thinking for a while, Gu Chaoyan nodded seriously.
The Dragon Tribe was very satisfied.
Honestly…
Besides their limited cultivation level, all of the chosen successors were exceptionally suitable, the voice acknowledged. If someone with malicious intent were to acquire his child, they would not hesitate, solely driven by their desire to possess it.
“In this manner, I shall bestow upon you my inheritance and belongings, and then I will have it sign a contract with you,” the elderly voice explained. “Although your current cultivation may not suffice to adequately protect it, once you obtain my inheritance, this concern will no longer trouble you.”
Meanwhile, as they conversed…
An immense surge of energy surged into Gu Chaoyan’s body.
She felt herself on the verge of arrogance, but just as the disfort peaked, the sensation abruptly dissipated.
At that very moment…
She perceived an immense amount of spiritual energy coursing within her, continuously breaking through its limits.
Martial King, Third Heaven of the Martial King Realm, Sixth Heaven of the Martial King Realm, Top-level Martial King Realm, Third Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm, Martial Saint Realm!
In an instant, she ascended to the rank of Martial Saint!
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t contain her elation.
The elderly voice also expressed surprise. “I never expected you to be a prodigious cultivator. By assimilating my inheritance power into your spiritual energy, you swiftly reached the level of a Martial Saint.”
“….”
“The spiritual energy in the Shenyou Continent is incredibly scarce. Here, those who attain the Martial Saint rank are likely on par with the Elders of the Supreme Sect.” The elderly voice no longer carried its former strength, but it brimmed with more delight than before.
“….”
“Very well, I shall bestow it upon you now, and both of you must swear a blood alliance,” the aged voice instructed.
Gu Chaoyan was on the verge of inquiring about the dragon’s whereabouts.
Suddenly, a diminutive dragon-like figure materialized before them. This creature possessed dragon horns atop its head, a dragon tail, yet its face resembled that of a human.
Huh…
That was the little dragon?
As Gu Chaoyan pondered, she felt a sharp pain in her hand. Her blood dripped directly onto the dragon’s forehead, prompting a nod from the creature.
It signified the blood oath.
However, to be precise, only young dragons bore such a mark on their foreheads, whereas she did not. It appeared more like a sign that the spirit pet had acknowledged its master.
Just as Gu Chaoyan was about to inquire further…
The elderly voice faded away. “Take good care of it.”
Then, silence enveloped them.
“Father!” the young dragon cried out.
Gu Chaoyan fell into silence as well. This dragon had long since passed away, yet its residual energy lingered, allowing its presence to persist even after its departure.
But now…
The spirit energy had dissipated, along with its breath.
For this young dragon, the loss of its father was now a harsh reality.
Gu Chaoyan felt a profound sadness as well.
They were in mourning.
“Hand it over to me,” the voice of the little dragon spoke up at that moment.
