The Azure Dragon God
However, before Xue Bai left with her, he remembered something.
"Sister Zhu, I have an extra High Yellow-grade Spatial Ring. If you want to, you can bring the bodies of your parents and keep them in there." Xue Bai explained as he pulled out the Spatial Ring Jiang Xiaorou gave him.
It was an extra anyway, so giving it away as a gift didn't matter much to Xue Bai.
But Zhu Que shook her head.
"My parents had always said that if they died, they wanted to be buried in the village. They lived there and wanted to die there, so if I took them away, I wouldn't be able to face them in the future." Zhu Que explained.
Xue Bai didn't persuade her any further. It was her choice, and his forcing her would only be rude.
The duo eventually said goodbye to Blue Stone Village and returned to the carriage, where the Wang Twins waited.
Both of the twins were smart and knew not to speak about what happened inside the village. Even without using their Spiritual Sense, seeing a few hundred meters in front of them was no problem, so they obviously saw and heard everything.
From Zhu Que's breakdown to Xue Bai's sudden enlightenment and temperament change, the Wang Twins knew everything that happened in Blue Stone Village.
But since Zhu Que was someone who their Young Master, through much effort, recruited personally, they didn't dare to bring her weak side.
As for Xue Bai's sudden enlightenment, they were his personal bodyguards, and anything that he didn't want the world to know, they would keep to their graves. And since Xue Bai didn't tell the world he had comprehended Sword Law, why should they?
"Young Master, are we going back to the sect yet?" Little Wang asked as Xue Bai and Zhu Que stepped into the carriage.
He had no desire to stay in this desolate land any longer, and since Xue Bai's goal looked to be completed, Little Wang was impatient to go back home.
Sadly Xue Bai shut down his hopes.
"No, go to these coordinates." Xue Bai said as he gave Little Wang the coordinates to where the Azure Dragon God's grave was.
Unlike how Senior Huli had hidden his inheritance in a Secret Realm, the Azure Dragon God, who left his remnant will in the Baishen Plane, had only hidden it inside a random mountain near Ocean Breeze City.
It was there that Zhu Que would gain enough strength to turn the tables on Chen Li before she killed him.
So before going back to the sect, Xue Bai planned to get the inheritance because, like Little Wang, Xue Bai had no plans of ever returning to the Barren Lands unless it was absolutely necessary.
Little Wang, while slightly saddened at the blunt refusal, still complied with Xue Bai's orders and started the drive to where the Azure Dragon God's inheritance was.
"Little Brother, I thought that we would be going to your sect?" Zhu Que, who had overheard the conversation, asked.
"We will, but there is just going to be one pit stop before that. And this pitstop actually has something to do with you." Xue Bai explained mysteriously.
Zhu Que, confused at the vague words, started to ask questions, but to her disappointment, Xue Bai stayed silent.
'If I say anymore, it would only raise more suspicion, so I might as well stay quiet.'
The drive to the mountain didn't take long, and after reaching its base, Xue Bai once again took Zhu Que's hand and led her to where it was.
Unlike wherever Huo Long had picked up Feng Huang, the Azure Dragon God's remnant will wasn't hidden at all and even would become a landmark in the future.
Because after Zhu Que successfully mutated her bloodline, a loud heaven-stirring dragon roar echoed throughout the Baishen Plane, and as the center of the roar, the entire mountain range effectively collapsed.
Thanks to that, Xue Bai was able to easily find which mountain the inheritance was. But now came the hard part.
"Little Brother, are you sure you know where you are going?" Zhu Que asked as she fiddled with her new coat.
Zhu Que still had her old peasant clothing, and since the mountain was bound to be cold, Xue Bai had given her a coat that was good for keeping its wearer warm.
And since it was easily the most expensive gift Zhu Que had ever gotten before, she had not stopped playing with it ever since he had given it to her.
However, the new coat couldn't keep her occupied forever, as hiking up and down the mountain for almost an hour had started to tire her out.
"I don't know where I'm going," Xue Bai awkwardly responded, "I only know there is a cave on this mountain with a claw mark above it."
Even though the mountain range had collapsed after the dragon's roar, a large rock that had a claw mark on it had stayed in shape. And since the same rock was apparent in Senior Huli's Secret Realm, Xue Bai guessed that rock was also the marker for the Azure Dragon God's cave.
"You mean that one over there?" Zhu Que innocently spoke as she pointed into the distance.
"Huh?"
Turning around, Xue Bai was floored.
Only a few hundred meters away was the exact cave and dragon claw mark he was looking for.
'As expected from the luckiest 'Child of the Plane.' She instantly found something I spent over an hour looking for.' Xue Bai could only accept the indirect defeat.
"Good eye Sister Zhu. What would I do without you." Xue Bai sighed as he started to make his way toward the cave.
Still not fully understanding what Xue Bai was so melancholy about, Zhu Que just took his statement as praise and followed him.
But oddly enough, the closer Xue Bai got to the cave, the less he could see it. And by the time he entered the 100-meter range, it had completely vanished from his vision.
Like a mirage a delusional man would see, the cave had completely disappeared from his vision.
Stunned, Xue Bai turned to Zhu Que, but to his further confusion, her facial expression didn't change even a little. It was obvious she could still see the cave and hadn't had it disappear from her vision.
Not wanting to show his sudden problem, Xue Bai didn't mention it but started slowing down his pace to let Zhu Que take the lead.
To not let it show much, though, he started to make small talk with Zhu Que.
"Sister Zhu, how was your life in Blue Stone Village?" Xue Bai picked a random topic, but one that was deep enough to distract her.
Thankfully it worked, as before long, the two were in a deep discussion, with Zhu Que leading the way toward the cave.
However, something happened just as Xue Bai and Zhu Que entered the 100-meter range.
"Anomaly begone!" Suddenly a shout loud enough to threaten to overturn the heavens themselves echoed into Xue Bai's head.
Both unprepared and too weak to even defend himself, Xue Bai instantly had both of his eardrums burst, while he himself was sent flying dozens of meters backward.
"Little Brother!" Zhu Que didn't hear the voice, but after seeing Xue Bai sent flying and so severely injured out of nowhere, she was scared for not only her life but Xue Bai's.
Xue Bai, however, was in no condition to respond to her concern.
'Fuck! I knew that Azure Dragon God would've been suspicious, but why was he so cautious? Surely he can tell I mean no harm to Zhu Que and only good!' Xue Bai cursed inwardly.
Quickly going into his Spatial Ring, Xue Bai shakily pulled out a bottle of healing pills to help suppress his injuries. This was the first time Xue Bai had ever been injured ever since he transmigrated, and it was such a horrible one.
Currently, not only were his ears still buzzing, but he could only see a few feet ahead of him instead of the usual few miles. The shout somehow accurately and perfectly injured all of his senses and organs but left his Dantian and veins unharmed.
It was obvious the perpetrator only wanted Xue Bai to suffer and not truly kill him.
But before he could swallow them, the voice once again echoed into his head.
"Speak! Who are you? Why are you with Zhu Que?" Hearing it for the second time, with it being at a normal volume, Xue Bai could hear the voice clearly.
The shout came from a male with a deep and resounding voice. But clearly, right now, it was full of anger and confusion.
And following his second shout, a mysterious force also immobilized the concern-filled Zhu Que, who was running toward Xue Bai.
Somehow the Azure Dragon God knew something was off about Xue Bai.
Which was something reasonable. Huli Jing, who Xue Bai had previously interacted with, was only in the Immortal Great Realm. But with the Azure Dragon God, not only was he in the God Great Realm, but he was also a powerhouse with the Great Realm.
So his being able to sense Xue Bai's odd appearance wasn't very surprising to Xue Bai.
Though Xue Bai didn't know much about the God Great Realm, in other cultivation stories, Gods were beings who could control fate, destiny, and even time.
And currently, Xue Bai was an enigma that confused even the Azure Dragon God.
Xue Bai's fate was of a mortal's, yet he was a heaven-defying prodigy by the standards of not only the Baishen Plane but even the Immortal World. His destiny was to die of old age yet without any cultivation, yet at the pace he was going, even becoming an Immortal wasn't out of the question. And his current actions did match with any other timeline whatsoever.
Even if the Azure Dragon God thought with his left foot, he would be able to figure out that Xue Bai was definitely someone suspicious. So while he could kill Xue Bai instantly without much thought, he planned to first get answers before doing so.
What if Xue Bai's appearance was the plot of someone targeting his inheritor?
Knowing the full story was more important than dealing with Xue Bai.
Still, Xue Bai obviously couldn't give the answer the Azure Dragon God wanted and began to lie his ass off.
"Senior, what do you mean? I am Zhu Que's Senior Brother." Xue Bai struggled to answer.
But since he was still mostly deaf, his voice came out harsh and slurred.
"Don't lie to be mortal! Why can't I see through you?!" However, the Azure Dragon God didn't let up.
He had prepared for far too long to get an inheritor, so when he suddenly saw Xue Bai, an enigma who even he could see through, he was more than enraged.
The Azure Dragon God didn't know why Xue Bai was here or what he was, but since he was suspicious, he didn't plan to show mercy.
Zhu Que was his hope, and he couldn't let anything happen to her.
"Senior, I am the descendant of The Void Fox Emperor of the Heaven Trampling Sect!" Xue Bai lied.
Even though he didn't know how strong the Azure Dragon God was, the Void Fox Emperor was, from what he learned from Huli Jing, someone who stood at the top of the Immortal Realm.
So he planned to hopefully borrow a tiger's skin and play off as the supreme being's descendant. He did, after all, share his bloodline.
And it was a well-known fact within the Immortal World that no one had the same bloodline as the Void Fox Emperor.
To prove his point, Xue Bai even changed into his true form, just in case the Azure Dragon God didn't believe his words.
WIlling his Bloodline Core, Xue Bai made his fox ears, and nine fox tails manifest while also showing the pressure of his High Heaven-grade Bloodline.
The Azure Dragon God, seeing this, was stunned. At first, he wanted to refute Xue Bai's words and then continue to pressure the answers that he wanted out of Xue Bai.
After all, the Void Fox Emperor was someone who was a known loner, as ever since the collapse of his sect and the death of his family, he had become reclusive and emotionless.
So he assumed Xue Bai's claim of being his descendant was pure nonsense, but after seeing both the signature fox ears and tail, he didn't know anymore.
And even if he could refute the physical features as illusions, there was no denying the bloodline pressure that made even his bloodline threatened.
'Is he really the Void Fox Emperor's descendant? But how did he end up in a mortal plane?' The Azure Dragon God's mind raced as he tried to find a reasonable explanation, but even after going through hundreds of thousands of ideas, he couldn't think of anything.
However, he did know one thing. He wouldn't be able to kill Xue Bai anymore.
Xue Bai was related to the man who ruled an entire Heaven all by himself, and no matter how strong the Azure Dragon God was, he didn't dare kill someone related to the Void Fox Emperor.
So before he made his relationship with Xue Bai into mortal enemies, the Azure Dragon God decided to finally appear.
"What do you want, Little Celestial Void Fox?"

So while he could kill Xue Bai instantly without much thought, he planned to first get answers before doing so.What if Xue Bai's appearance was the plot of someone targeting his inheritor?Knowing the full story was more important than dealing with Xue Bai.Still, Xue Bai obviously couldn't give the answer the Azure Dragon God wanted and began to lie his ass off."Senior, what do you mean? I am Zhu Que's Senior Brother." Xue Bai struggled to answer.But since he was still mostly deaf, his voice came out harsh and slurred."Don't lie to be mortal! Why can't I see through you?!" However, the Azure Dragon God didn't let up.He had prepared for far too long to get an inheritor, so when he suddenly saw Xue Bai, an enigma who even he could see through, he was more than enraged.The Azure Dragon God didn't know why Xue Bai was here or what he was, but since he was suspicious, he didn't plan to show mercy.Zhu Que was his hope, and he couldn't let anything happen to her."Senior, I am the descendant of The Void Fox Emperor of the Heaven Trampling Sect!" Xue Bai lied.Even though he didn't know how strong the Azure Dragon God was, the Void Fox Emperor was, from what he learned from Huli Jing, someone who stood at the top of the Immortal Realm.So he planned to hopefully borrow a tiger's skin and play off as the supreme being's descendant. He did, after all, share his bloodline.And it was a well-known fact within the Immortal World that no one had the same bloodline as the Void Fox Emperor.To prove his point, Xue Bai even changed into his true form, just in case the Azure Dragon God didn't believe his words.WIlling his Bloodline Core, Xue Bai made his fox ears, and nine fox tails manifest while also showing the pressure of his High Heaven-grade Bloodline.The Azure Dragon God, seeing this, was stunned. At first, he wanted to refute Xue Bai's words and then continue to pressure the answers that he wanted out of Xue Bai.After all, the Void Fox Emperor was someone who was a known loner, as ever since the collapse of his sect and the death of his family, he had become reclusive and emotionless.So he assumed Xue Bai's claim of being his descendant was pure nonsense, but after seeing both the signature fox ears and tail, he didn't know anymore.And even if he could refute the physical features as illusions, there was no denying the bloodline pressure that made even his bloodline threatened.'Is he really the Void Fox Emperor's descendant? But how did he end up in a mortal plane?' The Azure Dragon God's mind raced as he tried to find a reasonable explanation, but even after going through hundreds of thousands of ideas, he couldn't think of anything.However, he did know one thing. He wouldn't be able to kill Xue Bai anymore.Xue Bai was related to the man who ruled an entire Heaven all by himself, and no matter how strong the Azure Dragon God was, he didn't dare kill someone related to the Void Fox Emperor.So before he made his relationship with Xue Bai into mortal enemies, the Azure Dragon God decided to finally appear."What do you want, Little Celestial Void Fox?"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Any support is welcome!https://ko-fi.com/slarbi123
