Chapter 486
Chapter 486: Chapter 12: That’s Enough to Kill You Chapter 486: Chapter 12: That’s Enough to Kill You Long Long, Long Hu, Qin Zhou, Qin Ye, the four of them were brought back to Divine Dragon Island by the Ancestral Azure Dragon.
Regarding Long Long’s private excursion to undergo the Transformation Tribulation, Patriarch Qin Beiwang didn’t say much.
Rather, since the Transformation Tribulation is of utmost importance, there were already a considerable number of young dragons within the Azure Dragon Clan who had secretly gone outside to undergo the tribulation, which had become a common occurrence.
Therefore, the patriarch merely mumbled to himself, “This child still doesn’t trust the clan,” and let them go back to rest early.
Under the guise of continuing secluded cultivation, Long Hu was once again sent into the Undersea Divine Palace.
This time, the reason for isolation was much simpler: her relationship with Long Long was too close, and she needed cooling off to give Qin Ye more time to build rapport.
Otherwise, if Long Long ended up like King Zhou, doting exclusively on a fox and neglecting Qin Ye after marriage, how could the Azure Dragon Clan, as Qin Ye’s maternal clan, save face?
Regrettably, despite the clan’s efforts to create opportunities for Qin Ye, this little dragoness really was not competitive; she would get shy being alone with Long Long and insisted her brother be by their side.
Long Long was also very helpless about this, “If you always want your brother by your side, then we just can’t…
you know?”
Don’t understand?
If you don’t, there’s nothing more to say.
Let’s not dwell on that.
Long Long had originally thought that upon returning to his clan’s domain, the Azure Dragon Clan would assign him some work like the human Sects do for newly advanced cultivators capable of Transformation.

After confirming several times, he realized that the clan had only one task for him: to become stronger.
Since the Dragon Clan divides its members solely by bloodline, even demons of lower bloodline ranks could be accepted into the clan, provided they were dragons.
Therefore, the Azure Dragon Clan’s population far exceeded that of Sects like the Kunlun Taiqing Sect, and naturally there was no shortage of clan members willing to take care of mundane affairs.
Long Long, just focus on your cultivation.
That was fine too, who doesn’t love to slack off?
Once Long Long confirmed that the clan’s attention on him had cooled down, he said composedly:
“Ah Jing, teleport us!”
……
Transported back to the secret realm of Divine Dragon Island, the sky within the secret realm was now a gloomy grey, starkly different from the sunny weather when it had been opened previously.
Following the map on the Jade Slip, Long Long’s journey was unhindered, quickly reaching the corresponding ruins.
This place also consisted of large grey stone buildings, with interconnected corridors and rooms, where one could see everything at a glance.
Long Long checked each room one by one.
Not only was there no entrance to a tunnel, but there weren’t even any of the usual tables, chairs, beds, or cabinets; it was completely empty.
As per the usual rule, he could only resort to his most powerful methods.
“Ah Jing, scan!”
“At the end of this corridor,” the Kunlun Mirror responded, “it’s hollow behind here.”
Long Long reached the end of the corridor and tapped his hand against the wall a few times.
The echo indicated solidness, and there was nothing around that resembled a switch of any sort.
But what of it?
Bringing his palms together, Long Long’s True Yuan surged, and a stream of Postnatal Five Elements Great Extermination Divine Light poured out from his clasped hands.
Shining onto the stone wall, it immediately melted and collapsed like mud, revealing an entrance.
Long Long stepped carefully into the tunnel and ignited the Universal Pure Tone Minor Illumination Technique at his fingertips, lighting the path ahead.
The tunnel was indeed rudimentary.
Not to mention internal lighting, even the walls and the floor were uneven.
After about an hour of walking, Long Long finally reached the end of the chamber, which was also blocked by a grey stone wall.
He released the Five Elements Divine Light again, melting the wall with its radiance, and then he passed through the melted opening and entered a place that appeared to be an underground palace.
“Ah Jing, it’s all on you this time,” Long Long said calmly.
“This place is only for immortals to deal with.
I can’t handle it.”
“Of course,” the Kunlun Mirror responded reliably, “leave it to me.”
“Watch out for the trap under the floor ahead, avoid the middle row.”
“There are mechanisms behind the wall up front, you will have to crawl on the ground, below the height of an average person’s waist.”
“There are enemies ahead, twelve zhang away.
Approach from the corridor on the right, and make sure to evade.”
With the mirror plate radar, Long Long’s subsequent exploration went incredibly smoothly, as if he had turned on a cheat that allowed full-map visibility, perfectly avoiding any traps and enemies.
This Ah Jing, when it came to seeking benefits for himself, was especially hard working!
After mentally disparaging the integrity of the Kunlun Mirror and pondering for a moment who could have led it astray, Long Long continued on in silence.
As he ventured deeper into the Underground Palace, Long Long noticed that the frequency of encountering enemies and traps was increasing.
Clearly, the ancestral demons had trampled the outside more heavily, clearing a large part of the traps and enemies.
The deeper he went, the closer he got to the palace’s original state.
Long Long was puzzled, though.
If this relic was formed innately, why were there clearly man-made mechanisms?
“It’s due to the fragments of my true form,” the Kunlun Mirror answered.
“The traps you see are replicated from different eras along the timeline of history.”
“I see,” said Long Long thoughtfully, “Ah Jing, I’ve suddenly noticed that each fragment of you seems to prefer being in palaces, and you’re accustomed to laying out layers of protection around you.”
“The fragment in the Western Queen Mother’s Zhao Palace was surrounded by an Illusion Domain of time reversal; the piece under the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Cave in the Eastern Pole Divine Palace was surrounded by a spatial maze Illusion Domain.”
“The piece in the Mirror Lake Divine Palace of the Southern Border created an Illusion Domain with mirror monsters.
???G?.?0
And now here in the Divine Dragon Island’s underground palace, the game is a maze of traps and mechanisms?”
“If the fondness for palaces stems from you residing in the Divine Palace of the Western Queen Mother since your birth, then the habit of laying out heavy protections-could it be possible that it’s because you feel an extreme lack of security in your heart?”
Kunlun Mirror: ……
If it was in the past, it definitely would have subconsciously said, “Isn’t that obvious?”
However, after fully understanding the Savior’s personality, the Kunlun Mirror knew well that his mention of “lack of security” was not casual small talk.
There was an eighty percent chance that if it agreed, he would follow up with a lowly jest that would leave it unable to save face-utterly scoundrelly.
Therefore, the Kunlun Mirror just smiled slightly and said:
“Guan Shui, are you feeling sorry for me?”
Long Long was visibly taken aback; how did this broken mirror not follow the script?
The Kunlun Mirror then said:
“I’m truly touched that you feel this way.
But you don’t need to comfort me.
Just finding my fragments quickly will make me happy.”
Long Long’s facial muscles twitched slightly.
Now that the mirror had put it that way, he certainly couldn’t say, “I don’t feel sorry for you,” otherwise it would just hit back with, “Oh, since you don’t want to help me find my fragments, then you can find your own way to get through the path ahead,” leaving Long Long in a frenzy.
So, he could only change topics, asking:
“Ah Jing, if you were to collect all your fragments, what kind of impressive ability would you gain?”
“Then I could kill you.”
“Ah?”
“I mean…” the Kunlun Mirror corrected itself, “I would be able to come out of your Sea of Consciousness and help you deal with the enemies.”
