Chapter 1637 541: River of Time, Ao Zhi’s True Dragon Body
“Alright.” Mu Chengqian nodded slowly.
Soon after, Mu Rufeng directly departed from the Great Li Imperial Palace.
When Mu Rufeng appeared again, he was at the entrance of the Demon Clan’s Jiao Long domain in the Netherworld.
Below, there was an open space, the ground was made of pitch-black rock, indistinguishable in material.
In the center of the open space, there was a huge crevice.
Over a hundred meters long and tens of meters wide, a large amount of Yin Qi surged out from the crevice.
The place had no significant changes from when he left earlier.
Well, the one difference seemed to be that the Yin Qi here had grown even thicker.
Or rather, the ghost qi of the entire Third Forbidden Land had already transformed completely into Yin Qi.
The ghostly aura of the Underworld was beginning to ascend and transform into ghost qi, and as the most renowned forbidden area in the Underworld, the Third Forbidden Land naturally was among the first.
Previously when he met Mu Chengqian, he noticed a subtle shift in Mu Chengqian’s power.
Perhaps it was due to the transformation of ghost qi into Yin Qi.
If Mu Rufeng didn’t come here, perhaps after some years, Mu Chengqian’s cultivation might also break through to Divine Sovereign, who knows.
All around, there were numerous deceit books and those mysterious demons.
The last time Mu Rufeng came, the human aura awakened them instantly, and after some communication, they even gave him many powerful items to pass on to his descendants.
But this time, Mu Rufeng’s presence didn’t leak any aura, naturally not awakening these mysterious demons.
Mu Rufeng directly entered the Netherworld.
The Yin Qi in the Netherworld was even more intense, approximately ten times more so than outside.
The surroundings weren’t barren, but instead sprouted some pitch-black grass.
These are soul grass, considered rare spiritual medicine.
Upon consumption, it can enhance the mysterious Yin Qi cultivation, and for the cultivator, it can be used for alchemy, serving as the main ingredient in enhancing the divine soul elixir.
If he came before, Mu Rufeng would have plucked them all, leaving none behind, but now, Mu Rufeng didn’t give them much thought.
Even if they were thousand-year soul grass, Mu Rufeng wouldn’t regard them. Yet if they were ten-thousand-year soul grass, Mu Rufeng would gladly accept.
With a slight sense, he instantly appeared before Ao Zhi’s enormous corpse.
At this moment, Ao Zhi lay on the ground, utterly motionless, seemingly truly lifeless.
But Mu Rufeng could sense Ao Zhi was actually cultivating.
The next moment, Ao Zhi opened its massive maw, inhaling numerous strands of Yin Qi and exhaling turbid air.
Then Ao Zhi returned to inactivity, roughly breathing once a minute.
“Seems you’ve grown stronger in power, your cultivation has reached the late-stage Divine Sovereign.” Mu Rufeng nodded slightly.
In life, Ao Zhi was only at the early-stage Divine Sovereign’s cultivation, later slain by Divine Sovereign Wu Fu, and post-mortem transformed into Deceit Dragon with the same early-stage Divine Sovereign cultivation.
However, afterwards, another consciousness was born within the dragon corpse, and with Mu Rufeng’s help, Ao Zhi devoured the Deceit Dragon consciousness, breaking through to the middle-stage Divine Sovereign.
Due to the world’s tremendous changes, causing ghost qi to transform into Yin Qi, Ao Zhi’s cultivation directly broke through to late-stage Divine Sovereign.
Just as Mu Rufeng was sighing, Ao Zhi’s massive dragon body slowly began to move.
Soon after, that large dragon eye suddenly opened.
A wave of furious momentum instantly spread in all directions.
“Ah, Mu Rufeng, Mu Rufeng, you’re here.” A familiar voice rang in Mu Rufeng’s ear.
In the next second, the dragon body emitted a ghostly light, rapidly transforming into the semblance of a woman.
Ao Zhi wore a black robe with dragon patterns, adorned with a pair of black antlers on her forehead, and a mark on her brow.
“Ao Zhi, long time no see.” Mu Rufeng greeted her with a smile.
“Hmph, you haven’t come looking for me for so long, I thought you’d forgotten me.” Ao Zhi snorted.
“How could I forget you, I’m here now, aren’t I?” Mu Rufeng smiled faintly.
“By the way, you seem different from before, I can’t even sense your cultivation. Have you also broken through to Divine Sovereign?”
“Now that you’ve broken through to Divine Sovereign, can you form a contract with me and take me away?” Ao Zhi asked excitedly.
She used to stay in Mu Rufeng’s Soul Space, traveling with him in the outside world, and the prosperity and novelty were greatly appealing.
If she hadn’t come across the newly awakened consciousness of the dragon body, she would’ve definitely stayed within Mu Rufeng’s body.
Later, with Mu Rufeng’s help, she successfully devoured the Deceit Dragon consciousness, took control of her body, and always hoped to leave here.
“This time my visit isn’t for forming a contract with you.” Mu Rufeng slowly opened his mouth to speak.
“Huh? Not forming a contract? Then why have you come looking for me?” Ao Zhi’s face instantly darkened.
She’s upset, was it just to see her?
“Although I’m not forming a contract with you, I will still take you out.” Mu Rufeng replied with a smile.
“You… Mu Rufeng, after so long, you’ve learned to tease, haven’t you?” Ao Zhi puffed up with anger.
Although Ao Zhi is tens of thousands of years old, her main soul has long perished.
The current Ao Zhi is just a residual soul, even one that has lost all its memories.
