In the mansion in Shattered Cloud City, Lu Xuan knocked on the door of the Eastern Sea Prince, Ao Sheng. After his ordeal of being manhandled by two strange old men, Ao Sheng didn’t dare to stay in an inn anymore. When he saw Lu Xuan, he instinctively stepped back.

“S-s-senior?”

Although they hadn’t seen each other for over a month, cultivators have good memory. Besides, Lu Xuan had beaten him up once, a memory Ao Sheng vividly remembered.

“I have something to discuss with you,” Lu Xuan said as he took out a hemp sack from his storage artifact. Ao Sheng hesitated, wanting to run but not daring to do so.

Lu Xuan sat down and assured him, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to beat you today.” Ao Sheng wondered if Lu Xuan might be after his sister, feeling uneasy about the powerful cultivator who had once beaten him yet also saved him.

Lu Xuan explained that he initially thought the Nine Heavens Map was a divine painting used to suppress ancient demons. When Ao Sheng was abducted, the painting was taken by his captors, and its seals began to loosen. Lu Xuan opened it completely, tackling the evil it contained and was led to a place of opportunity where he gained many benefits.

“Since the item was yours, you also deserve a share of the fortune,” Lu Xuan stated, demonstrating his fairness. “I’ve brought some items to trade.”

Ao Sheng was stunned by Lu Xuan’s generosity. Lu Xuan, noticing his silence, asked if he didn’t believe him. Ao Sheng quickly denied any doubt, mentioning he did have some needs.

“Oh?” Lu Xuan’s interest piqued. “What do you want?”

After hesitating, Ao Sheng inquired if Lu Xuan was acquainted with the Shattered Cloud City Empress. Lu Xuan chuckled and opened the sack, ready to bag Ao Sheng if he said another word.

Ao Sheng wisely remained silent.

Lu Xuan advised him to focus on cultivation rather than external beauty. He offered two choices: a high-grade battle technique capable of slaying immortals and gods, hard to master, or a piece of true dragon bone containing a drop of dragon blood, highly compatible with Ao Sheng’s path.

True dragon blood was precious, but the technique from the secret realm was worth it. Lu Xuan showed the dragon bone, then put it back in the bag, a special artifact that preserved the bone’s divinity.

Ao Sheng gulped, clearly understanding the value of what Lu Xuan offered. He could feel his own dragon blood react to the bone, as if called by a mysterious connection.

After pondering for a while, Ao Sheng bit his lip and bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan, “I choose the first option, please pass on the technique to me!”

Lu Xuan looked at him surprisingly.

“Very well… Young man, that’s quite ambitious of you!”

He praised Ao Sheng. True dragon bones and blood were treasures, but their limits were not as high as the Great Slaughter Technique. Despite the difficulty of cultivating this technique, Ao Sheng was willing to embark on this path, which made Lu Xuan appreciate the young man’s determination.

However, Ao Sheng modestly responded, “It’s not so much about ambition, senior. It’s just that… dragon bones and blood are too useful.”

Lu Xuan was puzzled.

Ao Sheng’s choice for the Great Slaughter Technique had a reason. As a member of the dragon clan, he was highly compatible with true dragon blood. By refining the blood, his bloodline would undergo a tremendous transformation, elevating from an Eastern Sea Dragon to a true dragon bloodline.

Ao Sheng had clear thoughts.

He was already considered the top talent of the Eastern Sea. If he were to progress further, the implications would be immense. Being seen as the heir of the Eastern Sea, his life had been strictly monitored, and it was already a great struggle to escape. Now, after the assassination attempt, he anticipated even stricter restrictions.

If he were to transform from a top talent to a peerless talent, Ao Sheng guessed his father might confine him with chains made of immortal gold.

Thus, enhancing his talent was something he absolutely wanted to avoid.

Ao Sheng was a dragon who preferred a simple life. To him, having sufficient cultivation was enough. With so many relatives in the four seas, uncles, and aunts galore, and even relatives on land, no one could bully him.

Ao Sheng knew well. Although it might be difficult for him to pass the Transcendence Stage, reaching the Mahayana Stage with his talent should be feasible.
