Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

"Looks like he wants to surround us and kill us!"

Seeing this, Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

I should have just stayed in the dragon's stomach.

At least there's no danger to their lives.

Now that they've come out, the dragon has probably learned its lesson and won't try to devour them again.

They will definitely be killed in another, even more cruel way.

How can this be good?

Lu Shuang's face was also deathly pale; the hope that had just been ignited within her had now vanished.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, people can always find a solution."

Li Pingan gently comforted him, but at that moment his own mind was in turmoil.

Li Ping'an took out the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus from his bosom, handed it to the dragon, and roared.

"You just wanted this flower, didn't you? Here! Take it back! I don't want it anymore! Can I have it?"

When the dragon saw the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus, its expression softened slightly.

The dragon's mouth opened slightly, and a surge of spiritual energy slowly flowed in, catching the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus in Li Ping'an's hand.

It slowly rose up, carrying the snow lotus, and returned to the dragon's mouth.

"Now that we've returned the Mysterious Snow Lotus to you, can you let us go?"

Li Ping'an looked at the dragon with anticipation.

However, after accepting the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus, the dragon's eyes became even more ferocious.

It seems to be saying:

Without the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus, I will be even more unrestrained!

Seeing this, Li Ping'an's face turned green.

No, this dragon has no martial ethics!

The dragon was about to attack again with its gaping maw.

This time, he was determined to chew Li Ping'an and Lu Shuang into pieces before swallowing them.

In that critical moment...

Li Ping'an instinctively activated the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique".

That's right, he started using the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique" again.

This time, however, what he wanted to control was an unprecedented existence, a powerful existence he had never encountered before!

That was a demonic beast comparable to the Golden Core stage!

The "Great Dream Guiding Divine Technique" circulated rapidly, invading the dragon's mind and controlling his mental power.

In an instant, the dragon's gaping maw froze in place.

He saw it, a majestic five-clawed golden dragon suddenly appearing in front of him!

Its entire body radiated divine brilliance, its dragon scales were golden, its five claws gleamed with a cold light, and it exuded supreme divine power!

This is a five-clawed golden dragon! That is the ancestor of all dragons!

Compared to this five-clawed golden dragon, this little dragon is not even worthy of being called a grandson.

They're nothing but ants!

I could feel the kingly aura emanating from the five-clawed golden dragon.

Where would the dragon dare to show even the slightest ferocity or arrogance?

He immediately became as docile as a little eel.

It lowered its head and placed it obediently on the ground, looking completely submissive.

In the span of a few breaths, Li Ping'an had already consumed three Mind-Concentrating Pills to restore his mental energy.

However, after struggling to maintain this for several dozen breaths...

Li Ping'an finally couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Thus, the "Great Dream Guiding Divine Technique" was shattered.

The five-clawed golden dragon in front of the dragon suddenly disappeared and transformed back into Li Ping'an's appearance.

Li Ping'an suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, startling Lu Shuang.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

He quickly went over and helped Li Ping'an up.

"Ahem!"

Li Pingan coughed up another mouthful of blood.

At that moment, he felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer.

A stinging pain, a fog of confusion, and it seemed like I couldn't remember anything.

Unexpectedly, my "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique" still didn't work.

They only controlled the dragon for less than ten seconds, so there was no time for it to escape.

It seems my life is over...

Li Ping'an sighed inwardly, looked up to the sky and lamented, awaiting the dragon's furious and torrential revenge.

However, there was no movement from above for half a day.

But Lu Shuang said hesitantly.

"Senior, he seems... he seems a little off."

"This dragon..."

Li Pingan couldn't help but look up.

The dragon was looking at Li Ping'an and Lu Shuang with curious eyes.

There was fear, as well as doubt and confusion.

He didn't understand why Li Ping'an had suddenly transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon with extraordinary power.

He was, after all, a spirit beast. Although he was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, his intelligence was still somewhat inferior to that of a human.

The scene that had just unfolded before his eyes still haunted him.

They no longer dared to have the slightest desire to attack Li Ping'an.

After all, the five-clawed golden dragon that Li Ping'an had just transformed into had instilled a sense of fear in him.

"What's going on? This dragon has been stunned by those few seconds of the five-clawed golden dragon image."

Li Pingan also realized what was happening.

It seems this dragon is really afraid of that five-clawed golden dragon.

Even if it was just a fleeting illusion that lasted only a few seconds, could it have left him with such a deep-seated trauma?

Li Ping'an was overjoyed; it seemed there was still hope.

So he stood up and struggled to maintain his mental strength.

After taking another Mind-Concentrating Pill, his mental energy was slightly restored.

Then he slowly began to circulate the "Great Dream Guiding Divine Technique".

This time, it only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.

And that's why the dragon had given up its killing intent towards him.

In just a few seconds, he made the dragon see that he had transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon.

And it made a very intimidating gesture toward the dragon.

This terrified the dragon so much that it trembled all over.

Even when the dragon turned into an ordinary old man.

He still dared not have any more scruples.

It obediently lowered its body and placed the huge dragon head in front of Li Ping'an.

He looked completely subservient.

Lu Shuang, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned by what she saw.

He was not controlled by the "Great Dream Divine Guiding Technique," so he had no idea what was happening.

But after seeing Li Ping'an close his eyes and ponder for a few seconds...

The dragon seemed to have completely changed its attitude towards Li Ping'an.

They became extremely respectful, as if they were even quite afraid.

What exactly happened?

Lu Shuang's beautiful eyes widened, feeling that this old man, Li Ping'an, was truly extraordinary.

How many secrets does he keep hidden?

Not only is it resistant to poison, it is immune to all poisons.

There's also a hammer with such great power.

Now even dragons are afraid of him.

Could it be a reclusive master hidden within a sect?

The thought flashed through Lu Shuang's mind and wouldn't leave her ever since.

The more I think about it, the more I realize this is true.

Li Ping'an, standing to the side, secretly rejoiced as he accepted the dragon's submission.

Unexpectedly, the effects of the "Great Dream Divine Guidance Technique" were even greater than he had imagined.

They actually managed to conquer even a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast.

Unfortunately, he is now completely exhausted.

Otherwise, if we could kill this dragon...

How many rewards can you get? How much treasure and resources can you acquire?

Greed arose in my heart, but I quickly suppressed it.

It's already incredibly lucky that I survived this time.

Why think about it so much?

The dragon crouched low in front of Li Ping'an, its mouth slightly open.

She spat out the Xuan Tian Snow Lotus and used her spiritual power to lift it in front of Li Ping'an.
