Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

Yunping blinked and said bluntly, "Because I don't like him."

Fang Yan: "..."

Brother, even though we know he upset you, you should at least try to cover it up a little, make up some excuse or something.

Things like "his spiritual root will be affected by entering the Blackwater Abyss," or "his cultivation method is incompatible with the environment of the Blackwater Abyss"... you could even say that his birth chart is incompatible with the Blackwater Abyss, but you're stating the reasons so directly...

You're completely unpredictable.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

However, Fang Yan dared not disobey Yun Ping. After settling Li Junpeng, he jumped into the Blackwater Pool under Yun Ping's watchful eye.

Yun Ping then cast a spell into Li Junpeng's body, nodded in satisfaction, and then, carrying Lin Yuan, jumped in as well.

With a whoosh.

A little black slime splattered out.

After being shaken for a while, the viscous liquid returned to its usual calm.

27. Aha

When I opened my eyes again, what I saw was a scene that defied common sense.

Clear water floated overhead, as if contained in an invisible container, or as if an ocean shrouded the sky above. A few dim black lights, like stars adorning the night sky, were scattered in the water, but no one knew what they were.

Beneath my feet are hard, cold gray bricks with a bright metallic sheen. They are not exactly square, but rather chamfered rectangles composed of four rounded arcs.

As the girl's hazy consciousness gradually cleared, she glanced at the black and white maid outfit she was wearing. The bright white fabric was not stained with the filthy black liquid as she had imagined.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she was as clean as ever.

"here it is……"

She began to observe her surroundings, trying to figure out where she was by looking at certain landmarks.

However, the first thing that catches the eye, besides the metallic floor, is the cave with eight tall golden pillars standing in front of it.

Eight giant cylindrical pillars, at least five meters wide, were neatly arranged on both sides of the gray passageway. The pillars were inscribed with characters that Ye Yuchan could not understand. Just looking at them made her feel dizzy, as if these characters contained a great deal of mystery.

At the end of these eight towering pillars lies a cave, yet its exterior decorations are even more magnificent than those of the imperial palace.

A large amount of gold and silver treasures were piled up into four small mountains and placed at both ends of the cave. That was not the main point. The key point was that Ye Yuchan actually discovered that the inner walls of the cave were covered with countless magical artifacts, almost covering the inner walls of the huge cave that was tens of meters high and of unknown depth!

How many magical artifacts would it take to achieve this effect? ​​At first glance, it looks like a metal curtain!

Ye Yuchan was still marveling at the cave owner's extravagance when she heard the young man's teasing voice behind her.

"Oh, it seems you're all safe. I thought some of you might get intercepted by the mischievous dragon spirits on the way."

Ye Yuchan quickly turned around and saw Zhang Ruoxue and Chu Xin, who were equally bewildered—as for where the other annoying person was, she didn't care.

Of course, inevitably, she also noticed the young man in white.

It was Ye Yuchan who asked the most crucial question on behalf of everyone else.

"Where...is this?"

"As you can see, this is Blackwater Abyss." Yun Ping spread his hands and smiled slightly at Ye Yuchan.

“What do you mean by ‘as I see it’... I don’t see this place as Blackwater Abyss at all…” Ye Yuchan immediately turned her gaze to Chu Xin, thinking that this historian must know something about Blackwater Abyss. “Um, Miss Chu Xin, is this really Blackwater Abyss as he said?”

Chu Xin glanced awkwardly at Ye Yuchan, avoiding her gaze, and coughed lightly twice, trying to bluff her way out: "I'm not entirely sure either, but it's true that this is a very special place."

"Yes, it is indeed very special..."

The person speaking was Fang Yan, who had squatted down and pressed his face against the gray floor.

He stared silently at the chamfered rectangular bricks in front of him, his expression solemn, completely unaware that the eyes of the crowd had gathered behind him.

Under the watchful eyes of the four, our little Fang Yan slowly bent down and gently opened his lips—

He didn't speak.

Instead, it stuck out its tongue and licked the gray brick.

After licking it, it smacked its lips and nodded as if confirming something. Then it stood up and looked at the four stunned people with a serious expression: "Just like the teacher said, this place is really special... The floor tiles here are actually made of dragon scales!"

Zhang Ruoxue stared at him in awe. Although she already had a certain answer in her heart, she still tentatively asked, "Um... how did you know those were dragon scales?"

"I can taste it; dragon scales have a very unique flavor."

Zhang Ruoxue and Ye Yuchan: "..."

Seeing the complex expression that flashed across their faces, Fang Yan assumed that they did not believe his guess, so he called out to them, "You can come and try it. The dragon scales here taste like black dragon scales. They are a bit fishy, ​​but not very salty, and a bit astringent."

"Uh...no need, no need!" Zhang Ruoxue quickly waved her hand and hid behind Yunping.

Ye Yuchan also kept shaking her head: "Me too, I really don't want to film a show like 'A Bite of China'..."

"I see..." Fang Yan sighed with some regret, "But that's true. The taste of black dragon scales is too strange. They don't taste as good as those of blue dragons. Blue dragon scales are relatively sweet and have a unique fragrance."

"Stop, don't say anymore."

In the end, it was Yunping who stopped the Dragon Scale Gourmet from his escapades.

The reasons are also quite valid—

"If you keep talking, I'm afraid I'll get hungry and then I won't be able to resist slaughtering a dragon to eat..."

Everyone: "..."

What should I do if there are two lunatics in my team? I need help urgently!

……

Putting aside for now whether Yunping's dragon was steamed or braised, what everyone wanted to know most was exactly what kind of place this land beneath their feet was.

Chu Xin looked around curiously. The things here greatly aroused her curiosity as a history researcher, especially the luxurious cave, which subconsciously reminded her of the habits of the legendary dragons.

However, before Chu Xin could take out her professional equipment to investigate, a rumbling sound came from the cave directly in front of her.

The ground shook slightly—

Ye Yuchan grabbed Yunping's arm, which made her feel safer. "Hey, hey, hey, it seems like something's coming out of here!"

"I know, I'm just waiting for it to come out."

"What?"

Yunping had been staying at the entrance of this cave since the beginning, and there was a reason for that.

Because the Blackwater Abyss cannot be easily exposed to the world, even if someone breaks the Azure Sky Array, passes through the secret realm, and jumps into the Blackwater Pool, they must still undergo the final inspection by the dragons in the Blackwater Abyss.

If the visitor has malicious intentions, then the entire Blackwater Abyss will do everything in its power to kill him here. If the visitor is simply destined to be associated with the Blackwater Abyss, then the Dragon Clan will not deliberately ostracize these humans.

Boom boom boom!

It was like a giant hammer slamming into the ground.

A colossal figure, as tall as a skyscraper, slowly emerged from the cave. Above its jet-black head were a pair of emerald-green eyes, and a sharp tooth was exposed at each end, making it look like a razor-sharp giant sword.

It did not spread its enormous wings that could blot out the sky; the black light covering its body was the special color of dragon scales—an ancient creature crawling on all fours appeared before everyone's eyes.

Dragon.

Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue stood frozen in place, their legs numb, countless words welling up in their throats, yet they could not utter a single syllable.

Have they never seen a dragon before? No, they have. Back in the Dragonbone Wasteland, the two of them had already seen the Dragon Spirit, and in terms of appearance alone, it wasn't much different from the one in front of them.

Ye Yuchan even fought with Long Ling.

But that's not the problem. They had indeed seen a dragon, but it was only a broken dragon spirit. Its aura was comparable to that of a Xuanmen cultivator, and it couldn't put any pressure on the two of them at all.

It's different... different from that one...

Ye Yuchan was speechless. All the muscles in her body were tense and trembling. She could feel the terrifying pressure that seemed to come from ancient times and had crossed time and space to sweep towards her weak soul.

—That was the oppressive aura emanating from the dragon.

This thing before us... is a real dragon!

A domineering light, as if surveying the world, shot out from those mocking eyes, which quickly scanned the humans who had intruded into the Blackwater Abyss.

Everyone, including Chu Xin, felt a chill creep up their spines when that gaze was on them, as if an extremely dangerous blade had just gently brushed against their souls.

Horrible...so terrifying...

This is... the real... Black Dragon!

Although Chu Xin could tell from the cultivation level that the dragon in front of her was only at the beginner level of the Nascent Soul stage, and had not even touched the threshold of the Void Realm stage.

But for some reason, Chu Xin felt that if a fight really broke out, she would undoubtedly be torn to pieces.

That kind of fear that penetrates to the bone and even pierces the soul cannot be faked.

However, the enormous creature that everyone feared suddenly... or rather, without warning, collapsed to the ground.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the black dragon, who had dominated the world since ancient times, lowered his proud head.

The arrogant gaze that had been so disdainful of everything just a moment ago suddenly turned into one of respect.

"Welcome back, sir..."

The black dragon said this to the ordinary-looking young man.

28. Before Xiao Hei

How powerful can a single sentence be?

Chu Xin wasn't entirely sure, but she was certain that she had lived for over three hundred years, and in all that time, only that one sentence had truly shaken her.

So much so that her brain went blank for a short period of time, almost completely shut down.

Welcome back?

grown ups?

A dragon greeted a human, welcoming him back to the most mysterious dwelling place of the dragon race—Blackwater Abyss.

If the scene hadn't been so real, and if it weren't for the fact that her thigh was hurting from being pinched so hard... Chu Xin would have thought she was living in a dream.

This makes absolutely no sense!
