Chapter 801

Amidst Seeing Ying Zheng's hopeful gaze.

Su Xuan nodded gently, confirming Seeing Ying Zheng's guess.

"It is called a Pixiu, the offspring of the ancient Dragon God Yinglong; it is indeed a true dragon!"

Upon receiving a definitive answer, Seeing Ying Zheng took a deep breath.

It took him a long time to calm his turbulent emotions. Looking at Su Xuan, Seeing Ying Zheng spoke from the heart, "State Preceptor, I regret it deeply now—I regret not going to Loulan with you!"

Although it would have delayed things by a few months, Su Xuan's trip to Loulan was truly too fascinating. Whether it was the withered fish swimming through the desert or the ancient kingdom of Loulan hidden within the barrier, everything was breathtaking. What was even more unexpected was that a true dragon had actually appeared.

Seeing Ying Zheng finally understood why this true dragon had wings.

Because the legendary Yinglong was a dragon that possessed wings.

Dragons, those creatures of myth, were not illusions—they actually existed!

Even though he had only witnessed the Pixiu's true form through the image projected by Su Xuan, Seeing Ying Zheng still felt the immense power of an ancient mythical creature from its majestic body.

In the past, although many classics recorded the Four Spirits of Heaven—the Dragon, Phoenix, Tortoise, and Qilin—and the Mohists had the four mechanical beasts of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, those were either rumors or merely names. There was no concrete evidence to prove these mythical creatures truly existed.

Now, having seen the true form of the Pixiu, this son of a true dragon, Seeing Ying Zheng was finally certain that true dragons existed in this world.

By the same logic, since a mythical creature like a dragon was real, then Immortals must surely exist as well!

No, it would be more accurate to say that Seeing Ying Zheng had become increasingly convinced of Su Xuan's words from years ago: that there were Immortals in this world.

Setting aside what Su Xuan said back then, just consider the resurrected Lord of War, Did Chi You. He was undeniably a being from two thousand years ago; he very likely had become an Immortal. Even if he hadn't, he was probably very close to the Immortal realm. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain why a true dragon would appear to confront him during the battle against Did Chi You.

Su Xuan then told Seeing Ying Zheng about the origins of the Pixiu.

The Pixiu and Xiao Li were, respectively, the contingency plans left behind by the Dragon God and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden to deal with Did Chi You.

Seeing Ying Zheng's gaze had initially been fixed solely on the Pixiu—after all, it was a dragon. Now, upon hearing Su Xuan's explanation, he looked at Xiao Li again. He had not expected that this seemingly frail young girl was actually the incarnation of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

If a dragon was a creature of myth, then the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was undeniably of the ranks of Immortals and Deities!

"This Did Chi You is truly extraordinary!"

Seeing Ying Zheng sighed with genuine emotion.

Being able to force the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and the Dragon God to leave behind contingency plans made Seeing Ying Zheng increasingly certain that Did Chi You was at least a powerhouse approaching the level of Immortals and Deities. If he hadn't been near that level, it would have been impossible to attract such attention from true Immortals and Deities.

Seeing Ying Zheng was not particularly surprised that Did Chi You was defeated and the battle concluded.

No matter how strong Did Chi You was, in the end, with the Dragon God and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden having left behind their plans, he could not stir up any waves—not to mention that the State Preceptor had also intervened.

The only thing that made Seeing Ying Zheng sigh was the process of the battle between Su Xuan and Did Chi You.
