Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 356 King Yinglong

The next day, early in the morning, Lord Kui Ling came to invite Baili Shuang to see King Yinglong.

Yinglongwang is a female cultivator, and she is quite old. Even if she is not ten thousand years old, she has a lifespan of five thousand years.

However, Yinglong King is not the oldest among the dragons. Dragons have long lifespans and do not have a relative "lifespan". Unlike ordinary humans, who are considered old in their sixties or seventies, in the dragon race, even if they are thousands of years old, as long as they are in good health, they can be considered to be in their "prime of life". There is no such thing as being old and frail - their bodies are only weakened by illness and war wounds, and they have no concept of "aging".

Yinglongwang's golden wings were very beautiful, with an aggressive and flamboyant beauty. Whether it was the last time or this time, it was the first time Fang Xianyu had come into contact with Yinglongwang, and he was stunned for a moment.

Through the eyes of Baili Shuang, the puppet, one could see that her golden-winged, fiery-red dress was adorned with patterns woven from gold thread, and her elaborate hair was adorned with all sorts of headdresses and hairpins. Upon entering the palace, Baili Shuang even caught a whiff of the fragrance of flowers in the thick fog. Looking closer, she saw that the flowerbeds on both sides of the palace were filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, which were thriving and bloomed in all four seasons.

"You mean that the Sword Sect of Arctic Flow Continent plotted to resurrect the ancestor of the Yinglong Clan a thousand years ago, but it seems to have failed, which caused the changes that led to the separation of Flow Continent into Arctic Flow Continent? And that Arctic Flow Continent still has a considerable number of human people living there to this day?"

After hearing Baili Shuang's account of the whole story, Jin Yi frowned, somewhat incredulous.

Although there are many sects called "Sword Sect" within the Ten Continents and Three Islands, the Dragon Clan, who have never had much contact with the human race, may not know which sect among the human race is which. However, thanks to the Sword God, the Sword Sect in the Arctic Flow Continent is quite famous wherever it is, and Jin Yi naturally knows some of it.

Jin Yi, however, remained incredulous: "How could the Sword God act in such a way? Although I have never met him, he is no ordinary person who can attain enlightenment and godhood through the sword. How could he commit such an evil deed?!"

Jin Yi's words were laced with anger.

Anyone who hears that someone wants to "resurrect" their ancestors to be used by others, and that this is done through such a vicious method as human sacrifice, cannot remain calm.

Baili Shuang hesitated for a moment, then steeled her heart and revealed even more explosive news: "Not only that, at the bottom of the Soul Devouring Rift that encircles Tiangui Mountain, our Taiyin Sect disciples also discovered a pair of living Yinglong eyeballs."

"That's unreasonable!"

As expected, Jin Yi's voice rose considerably, causing the flowers and plants in the flower beds on both sides to sway violently.

"This is really unreasonable!"

He said something else resentfully, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked again, "Fellow Daoist Baili, I will remember your kindness, but isn't the Soul Devouring Rift Valley said to be even more insurmountable than the Weak Water? How did your Taiyin Sect disciples manage to get down to the bottom of the valley?"

Baili Shuang replied, "This matter is quite simple. The disciples of my Taiyin Sect cultivate in a special way. Their souls are not in the Guixu Realm, but rather they connect with their divine consciousness and cultivate within the bodies of puppets. Therefore, they are not afraid of that rift valley."

Jin Yi suddenly realized why Baili Shuang had come to visit him in the body of a puppet: "Just like you?"

To avoid the trouble of explaining and to prevent herself from being exposed, Baili Shuang had no choice but to nod: "Yes."

Then, she raised her hand and took out an exquisite, mirror-like magical artifact, saying, "Moreover, our Taiyin Sect has used a secret method to record those eyes. I wonder if King Yinglong would be interested in seeing them? So that he can make some distinctions."

Jin Yi was genuinely grateful this time and nodded hurriedly, saying, "That would be wonderful!" Baili Shuang then channeled her spiritual power and placed the mirror in front of her. Subsequently, a huge, semi-transparent "curtain" appeared in mid-air, displaying the scene of the two players discovering the Yinglong Eyeball—this was a copy of the screen recording saved by the project team that Baili Shuang had directly obtained.

After watching the "video", Jin Yi fell completely silent.

After a long silence in the palace, she finally spoke: "Those are indeed the eyes of my Yinglong clan... They don't look very old, so they could never be our ancestors."

"You can tell someone's age just by looking at their eyes?"

Jin Yi replied, "Dragons have a special physique. Besides their size, one can also discern their age from their physical appearance. Their cultivation level can also be seen from their eyes. The higher their cultivation level, the darker their eye color. Based on the size of these eyes, one can tell that their owner is probably less than two thousand years old."

Actually, according to Earth's biological standards, the size of the eyes of "mammals" like humans doesn't change much from birth. But dragons, if we had to categorize them, could roughly be classified as amphibians or reptiles. These creatures are relatively rare examples of animals whose size changes drastically between juvenile and adult forms, and whose eye size changes very noticeably. Therefore, it's understandable that dragons would have this characteristic.

Jin Yi was unaware of what Baili Shuang was thinking. Seeing that she did not speak, he promised, "Although I have never been to the Soul Devouring Rift, I have heard of it. If the matter of the Sword Sect is really related to the Dragon Clan, as the Yinglong King, I certainly cannot stand idly by."

"The Soul-Devouring Rift is extraordinary and can indeed damage the soul. Our Taiyin Sect disciples are special and thus unaffected. If King Yinglong does not mind, please tell us your requests, and we Taiyin Sect disciples will do our best to fulfill them."

"Fellow Daoist Baili is very thoughtful. Whether it's the three altars mentioned by the Sword Sect or the Yinglong Eye at the bottom of the Rift Valley, these are all major events for our Dragon Clan... Hmph! Sword God! What a Sword God!"

As she spoke, Jin Yi's tone became increasingly angry, but before she could say anything more, Baili Shuang pleaded urgently, "No one knows what the Sword God was thinking now, and he himself has long since perished... So, please, King Yinglong, do not take your anger out on the others in Beiji Liuzhou, those people are already living very difficult lives... Alas!"

"Don't worry, I'm not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong!" Although Jin Yi was somewhat displeased by Baili Shuang's words, he still readily agreed: "I'll just find out what's going on at the bottom of that rift valley first. As for the grudges with the Sword Sect, we'll deal with that later!"

"King Yinglong has keen insight."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. You came with that brat from the Tai Shui Dragon King's family, right?"

Seeing Baili Shuang nod, Jin Yi suddenly let out a long roar, and the extremely penetrating dragon's cry immediately summoned Kui Lingjun, who was waiting outside the palace, and ordered, "Lingjun, go and call the boy from the Taishui Dragon King's family over, and have him tell his mother that we have important matters to attend to!"

Kui Lingjun responded and immediately turned and left.

Bai Li Shuang was increasingly surprised.

Why is Kui Lingjun, who is clearly a Kui dragon, so obedient to Yinglongwang's orders? And why is Huai Ren's mother, the son of Taishui Longwang, living with Yinglongwang? Judging from Yinglongwang's tone, she seems quite concerned.
The more she thought about it, the more curious she became. After hesitating for a while, Baili Shuang couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "King Yinglong, why is Huai Ren, the mother of the son of the Taishui Dragon King, staying here with you for so long?"

King Yinglong seemed unconcerned about such a question, stating frankly, "You mean Pingjun? She is my Daoist partner, so naturally she lives with me!"
