Chapter 119: The Future Queen of All Magical Beasts

(Page 1 of 3)

“Actually, your true identity is that of a princess of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan!” Lin An declared.

“The Taixu Ancient Dragon clan? And I’m a princess who was cast out?”

Even Yao Chen and Nalan Yanran, standing nearby, were stunned. Neither of them had expected Zi Yan to possess such an extraordinary identity.

“Oh.”

Zi Yan’s heart remained perfectly calm. She simply stuffed another delicious pill into her mouth.

“Don’t you want to return to your clan and see it for yourself?” Lin An asked, looking at her composure.

“I did once. But I think staying by Big Brother’s side is pretty good. Now that I know who I am, I’m even more satisfied. As for returning… Since I’m a princess of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan, why was I left wandering outside, living alone for so many years? Something must have happened within the clan. Even if I went back, I probably wouldn’t meet with a good fate.”

Lin An had not expected Zi Yan to be so open-minded.

Even Yao Chen and Nalan Yanran looked at her with newfound respect. Neither had imagined that Zi Yan possessed such insight.

“The Taixu Ancient Dragons are in complete chaos now. Your clansmen are dying every day, and even the deaths of your parents had their reasons. You have wandered outside for all these years, yet royal blood from the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan flows through your veins. Are you truly willing to stand by while your people live in misery?”

Lin An’s primary goal in recruiting Zi Yan was to gain control of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan. With their support, he would possess the standing to make his voice heard in the Central Plains.

It was also the best way to strengthen the Misty Cloud Sect and protect Nalan Yanran and the others.

Relying solely on the Flame Emperor’s power was clearly not enough to protect everyone.

“Given how weak I am now, do you really think I can do it?”

After a long silence, Zi Yan suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin An.

His words had deeply moved her. Although she had never lived among the Taixu Ancient Dragons, hearing that her clan was suffering mightily stirred something within her. Perhaps it was because they shared the same bloodline, but she wanted to do something for them.

“As long as you have the will, I can help you rule the entire Taixu Ancient Dragon clan!” Lin An said confidently.

Watching the scene unfold, Yao Chen’s eyelids twitched violently. He could not help feeling that Lin An was tricking a young girl.

Had Lin An known what he was thinking, he probably would have told Yao Chen to discard the word “feeling.”

“Good. As long as Big Brother supports me, I’ll rule the entire Taixu Ancient Dragon clan!” Zi Yan declared.

“Excellent. In that case, it’s time to awaken the bloodline within you.”

With that, two spheres of pure blood appeared in Lin An’s palm. Zi Yan immediately sensed the attraction radiating from them through her own bloodline. She knew that if she could fuse those two drops of blood into her body, she would undergo a world-shaking transformation.

“This is the Candle Dragon bloodline, combined with the Divine Phoenix bloodline. I’ll use my power to help you fuse these two mighty bloodlines. I have very high hopes for you. I don’t merely want you to rule the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan. I want the Sky Demon Phoenix clan—and even the entire magical beast race—to fall under your control.”

Yao Chen and Nalan Yanran were both stunned by Lin An’s words. Neither had expected him to harbor such immense ambitions.

Yet when they considered Lin An’s heaven-defying talent and extraordinary opportunities, they would not have doubted him even if he claimed that he would become a Battle Emperor in a few years.

Setting such a goal for Zi Yan now was harmless even if she ultimately failed to achieve it. By that time, Lin An might already have become invincible beneath the heavens.

Zi Yan nodded solemnly.

“Fusing these two bloodlines will take some time, and the process may be extremely painful. You must prepare yourself mentally,” Lin An warned.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sinister energy within the Hall of Yama began to surge wildly. Both bloodlines belonged to exceptionally powerful branches. Lin An had spent two hundred thousand soul points to exchange for them, making this his greatest investment in all the time he had been here.

The fusion of the two bloodlines would be especially violent. Both were royal bloodlines, and when Zi Yan’s own bloodline was added to the mix, the fusion of three bloodlines would be anything but easy. Lin An had not been exaggerating.

Fortunately, the dense sinister energy filling the Hall of Yama could place Zi Yan in a state resembling suspended death, reducing her suffering to the lowest possible level.

Before long, Lin An entered the process. Zi Yan was enveloped in two different radiances, and from time to time, the roars of dragons and cries of phoenixes rang out from within her body. All kinds of strange phenomena appeared around her.

This state lasted for an entire half month before Lin An finally left the Hall of Yama.

After such a long period of energy infusion, Zi Yan’s condition had finally stabilized. From then on, she only needed to proceed step by step and await the day she emerged from her cocoon transformed. When that day came, the entire magical beast world would undoubtedly be shaken.

For the queen of the magical beast race would stand before them.

“How is Zi Yan?” Nalan Yanran asked.

This was the first time she had seen Lin An spend so long helping someone fuse bloodlines, and she could not help feeling worried.

“Don’t worry. There are basically no serious problems now.”

“However, Zi Yan will probably need to wait a very long time before she can successfully fuse the bloodlines and awaken,” Lin An said.

“How long is ‘a very long time’?”

“She should need about a year.”

“Why will it take so long?”

“Zi Yan has three bloodlines within her body. Her cultivation is also relatively weak, while the two bloodlines I provided are both extraordinary. Given all that, it’s only natural that the process will take this long. But when Zi Yan emerges from seclusion, her strength will certainly astonish everyone,” Lin An said confidently.

The sinister energy surging through the Hall of Yama would continuously provide Zi Yan with enough nourishment for an entire year of cultivation. With such heaven-defying bloodlines, if Zi Yan were still weak when she emerged, it would defy all reason.

“Mm.”

Nalan Yanran nodded, then asked, “What are you planning to do next?”

“Once Yao Chen has settled his grudge, I’ll take you to visit the other empires. For now, I’ll spend some time keeping you company, because after a while, I’ll have to leave again,” Lin An said.

“Can’t you take me with you?” Nalan Yanran asked.

“I want to take you with me too, but there’s nothing I can do at the moment. Once I’m able to bring you along, I’ll take you wherever I go.”

Nalan Yanran trusted Lin An deeply. At the very least, she knew he would never deceive her. In the end, she could only nod helplessly.

Three days later, Yao Chen finally brought Han Feng before Lin An. From the despair in Han Feng’s eyes, Lin An could tell that the man had suffered greatly over the past few days.

After Lin An killed Han Feng, the Sea Heart Flame successfully became one of his Heavenly Flames.

With so many methods at his disposal, Lin An felt that the next time he traveled to another world, unless it was a high-martial realm like the Heaven-Covering World or the Primordial Wilderness, he should at least be able to preserve his life in any other plane, even if he could not become invincible beneath the heavens.
