Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Decades can be a long time or a short time.

For Xiao Liuyun, who was born as a sword spirit, the passage of time in the outside world doesn't really feel real.

Because the development of intelligence is much slower than that of other life forms, Xiao Liuyun is more like a three- or four-year-old human child, lacking much wisdom and easily influenced by external factors.

Before Mu An and Mu Ling'er left Qing'an Prefecture, Ao Yun and Qing Xi were Xiao Liuyun's best friends.

It wasn't that Ao Yun and Qing Xi had any special methods for raising sword spirits, but rather that for a sword spirit that loves to chop things up, only fighting can bring it joy.

As luck would have it, for some special reason, Ao Yun would always take Liu Yun to the Vast Sea to slay dragons, and Qing Xi would always come along to help.

As a non-pure-blooded dragon, Ao Yun had naturally suffered a lot in the past. The fact that she could live alone in Daqi, where there were almost no dragons, was enough to prove her status among the dragons.

Ao Yun is the kind of person who can't stand being taken advantage of, and she has written down all the dragons who have bullied her in the past in her little notebook.

Once they gain power and align themselves with the right leader, they will naturally inflict all the losses they suffered in the past on the other dragons, doubling the amount.

As for Qingxi, she could be found wherever there was a fight.

One dragon, one man, one sword, and they hit it off immediately. When they had nothing to do, they would go to the Vast Ocean to fight the real dragon.

Each time, they would cause chaos and only stop after cutting off a piece or two of dragon meat.

For Xiao Liuyun, the carefree days spent with the two older sisters were the pinnacle of its swordsmanship, a memory it cherishes to this day.

So much so that as soon as he finished killing the people from the Heavenly Blade Sect, Xiao Liuyun excitedly approached Ao Yun and Qing Xi and asked about the things he cared about most.

"Ladies, I've completed the task Master gave me, and I don't have much to do right now. Are there any dragons to slay today?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Yun seemed somewhat tempted, and immediately began to calculate in her mind where it would be easier to kill a true dragon so that she wouldn't be ganged up on during a fight.

Qingxi said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" but her hands, which were hanging in her sleeves, secretly clenched.

She hasn't had a proper fight with anyone in almost twenty years, it's really kind of boring...

Going to fight wouldn't be a bad idea.

Because King Xiang, Changning, was nearing the end of his life, Qingxi had been playing the role of a gentle wife for a long time.

In the last ten years of Jun Changning's life, Qingxi did not travel around the world as she used to, but instead spent a wonderful time with King Xiang.

Although this gentleness came a little late and didn't quite match Qingxi's past image, she did her best.

Before Qingxi and Jun Changning got married, Jun Changning, as her junior brother, always took good care of Qingxi, and this continued even after they got married.

When they were in Qi'an City, Jun Changning withstood countless pressures for Qingxi.

Upon arriving in Qing'an Prefecture, the bills that the Jun family needed to pay piled up into several small mountains.

Two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Admittedly, Qingxi is a martial arts fanatic, and she can also feel Jun Changning's undisguised love for her, and she cherishes this relationship very much.

The emotions that precede becoming a terrestrial deity are always exceptionally precious.

Qingxi didn't have Mu'an's abilities, nor did she have Mu'an's strong obsession. All she could do was accompany her beloved on his final journey.

Ever since King Xiang passed away three years ago, Qingxi has been feeling uneasy and wants to fight someone, but she doesn't know who to fight.

Even the most familiar mansion became increasingly distant to Qingxi due to the growing number of descendants, so she moved into the Spirit Beast Mountain alone.

Two hundred years is too long, long enough that her sons and grandsons have all passed away.

For Yu Qingxi, the people in the Jun Mansion now are all related to her by blood but are not very familiar with her.

Liu Yun's suggestion hit the nail on the head for Qing Xi.

Fight! We must fight! Fight them hard! Cut off thirty or fifty pounds of dragon meat and roast it!

……

Sitting further back, Mu Yong, dressed in a dragon robe, became increasingly bewildered as he listened, standing there frozen in place, showing none of the solemnity and majesty one would expect from a court official.

Seeing this bizarre combination that was already interested, Mu Yong felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He couldn't control any of these three troublemakers.

No... Sword Master! I called you Sword Master!

You've already destroyed your own sect, but now you're instigating others to cause trouble too?

You lot don't take the True Dragon Clan seriously, going wherever you want, but we have nowhere to run...

You can't do this! My fragile heart can't take this kind of abuse from you, Sword Master!

And what about you two big shots, Master Long and Master Qing? It's one thing for you to just watch the show, but why are you even thinking of causing trouble with Master Jian?

Sword Master is young and not very bright, but Dragon Master, you are an old fellow who has lived for over a thousand years. You can't follow along with its nonsense!

I understand you're in a bad mood, Master Qing, but didn't we already give you the Spirit Beast Garden?

I, Mu Yong, have not mistreated your descendants either...

While mentally processing the team in front of him, Mu Yong didn't dare utter a single word in reality.

He's not stupid; he can't afford to offend any of these three.

Although he is the emperor of the Great Spirit Empire, Mu Yong has only reached the threshold of becoming a terrestrial immortal so far, and is still a long way from ascending to the highest level.

If you mess with these three, you might get a beating.

Even when Zhenjun and Xuan Nu were alive, they couldn't control these three troublemakers, let alone a pitiful little guy who wasn't even a terrestrial immortal.

These three scoundrels don't care whether he's the emperor or not.

Besides, the only terrestrial immortal of the Five Elements Sect, its number one leader, the Green Wood Immortal Fang Wuxiang, is pretending to be blind, so naturally he wouldn't step forward.

The Heavenly Blade Sect had long since sided with the Five Elements Sect, openly and secretly opposing the imperial court, serving as a tool for the Five Elements Sect to commit dirty deeds.

With the Heavenly Blade Sect now destroyed, Fang Wuxiang is even more anxious than he is.

After all, none of them knew what the True Lord meant or why he suddenly sent the Five Luminaries Divine Sword to destroy the sect.

Thinking about this, Mu Yong also felt a bit like watching a show.

I'll show you Five Elements Sect bastards who oppose me! All you do is form cliques, fight for power, and cause endless turmoil in the Great Spirit Empire.

Now look what's happened! Your men actually angered the True Lord and attracted Sword Master. Let's see how you clean this up!

As for the internal strife, it was actually Mu Yong who started it first, but Mu Yong selectively pretended not to see it.

As Mu Ling'er's handpicked successor, Mu Yong saw that the Five Elements Sect was powerful and had the potential to overshadow the imperial power. What was wrong with suppressing it a little?

The True Lord is the ancestor of the Mu family, and the Great Spirit Empire is also the Mu family's empire. How could a small Five Elements Sect possibly stand above him?

It was nothing more than secretly killing a few core disciples, turning a few elders against the emperor, and planting some people. This is called imperial grace. What problem could there be?

The entire Great Spirit Empire is the territory of the Mu family, and the Five Elements Sect's growth and expansion are all thanks to the Mu family's generosity.

This ungrateful sect not only actively reduced its own power, but also dared to form cliques and oppose him. What else could this be but having ulterior motives?

Thinking about all this, Mu Yong's mood immediately improved, and he hid aside to watch the excitement.

Sword Master is mighty! Forget about slaying any real dragons, just kill that guy surnamed Fang! Let him see who's really the boss!
