Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

A few days later, a streak of earth-yellow spiritual light tore across the sky above Qingmu Sect.

Then, Yue Kun Lun landed, bringing with him a frail-looking fish-man.

This man, or rather this fish-man, was Lin Qi from the Cangming Realm.

He wore a plain prison robe; though his complexion was pale, his eyes were clear.

He clutched a worn ancient book in his hand, showing that though imprisoned these years, he had not wasted his time, but had read many books about the Tianyuan Realm instead.

Yue Kun Lun cupped his hands and said, "Great Elder, Lin Qi has been brought."

Lin Qi raised his eyes; when his gaze fell upon Xu Zhangqing, his body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly bowed in salute, his voice full of reverence: "Lin Qi greets Sect Master Xu, greets Great Elder."

Xu Zhangqing said in surprise, "It's been decades; do you still remember me?"

Lin Qi nodded vigorously: "Back then, if Sect Master had not shown mercy, I would have been scattered body and soul."

Meeting you again today, Sect Master Xu still carries yourself as before."

He had always remembered that back then, when he and his companions sneaked into the Tianyuan Realm, it was Xu Zhangqing who discovered them.

As a result, his companions all died, while he was merely imprisoned.

This kindness, he had always kept in his heart.

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "I summoned you today not to make things difficult for you, but to ask something."

Lin Qi asked proactively, "What is it?"

Xu Zhangqing stared at Lin Qi with a heavy gaze and said, "We suspect that the water spiritual energy of the Tianyuan Realm is gradually thinning, and it is related to the Hundred Dragons Patrol."

You mentioned this back then; now, can you tell us the truth—has the Hundred Dragons Patrol truly drawn near the Tianyuan Realm?"

Hearing this, a flicker of solemnity flashed in Lin Qi's eyes: "What you say is extremely correct. The Hundred Dragons Patrol comes once every ten thousand years, and its most obvious sign is that the water spiritual energy in the places it passes through vanishes without cause, leaving not a trace, nor any source to be found."

Only we of the Cangming Realm are naturally extremely sensitive to water spiritual energy, so we can catch those faint traces."

He paused, his tone growing even more serious: "Now it seems they have already drawn near the Tianyuan Realm."

If we do not find a countermeasure in time, it won't be long before the water spiritual energy of the Tianyuan Realm is completely drained dry."

By then, not only will cultivators be unable to cultivate, but even ordinary people's survival will become a problem."

Xu Zhangqing asked tentatively, "Are you willing to help us?"

Lin Qi hurriedly bowed, his attitude appearing quite sincere: "Thanks to Sect Master Xu's mercy in not killing me, I am naturally willing to offer my humble service."

What's more, once the Hundred Dragons Patrol passes through, everyone will be in trouble."

Helping you is also helping ourselves."

Xu Zhangqing and Xuan Yan exchanged a glance, and a decision had already been made in their hearts.

Lin Qi's words were sincere, and this matter concerned the survival of the Tianyuan Realm, so they might as well trust him for now.

"Good, then we will trouble you."

"Let us go to the starry sky together to confirm the traces of the Hundred Dragons Patrol."

"If we truly find something, you won't need to be imprisoned anymore."

As the words fell, the four of them rose into the air at the same time.

Then they transformed into four streaks of spiritual light, broke through the clouds of the Tianyuan Realm, and headed toward the vast starry sky.

Not long after, they passed Xingqiong Hall, then ventured deeper and deeper into the starry sky.

The spiritual energy around them grew increasingly thin, and even the light became dim.

Soon, the Tianyuan Realm was left behind them, and it grew smaller and smaller.

Not long after, a crystal-clear planet appeared before the four of them.

Its surface was covered in thick crystal, refracting brilliant light.

Yet not a trace of vitality could be seen.

Xuan Yan raised his hand and pointed at the planet, introducing: "This is Liuli Star, originally the habitat of the Liuli Clan, who excel at refining all kinds of top-grade magic tools."

Later, a Great Power took a liking to them, and the entire clan was taken away, having been enslaved for thousands of years."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

If it were not for the Tianyuan Realm also having strong protectors, they might well suffer the same fate.

For example, the Cangming Realm that sneaked in, and the Three-Eyed Clan that took the initiative to make contact later.

Moreover, besides these two foreign races, there are likely other foreign races staring covetously.

These years, it is only because the Three-Eyed Clan has been fighting outside that nothing has happened.

After flying for about half an hour, a planet covered with withered lingti came into view.

The planet's surface was full of cracks; the originally lush lingti were now all yellowed and withered, and even the soil had become dry and cracked.

Xuan Yan introduced again, his tone carrying a hint of regret: "This is Qinghe Star, once the territory of the Yaoling Clan, which produced all kinds of spiritual treasures."

The entire planet and clan relied on water spiritual energy for nourishment."

Now that the water spiritual energy is completely gone, this planet has become a dead star."

Xu Zhangqing asked curiously, "Then... the Yaoling Clan?"

Xuan Yan said slowly, "Either they migrated, or they all died."

Hearing this, Yue Kun Lun couldn't help but frown: "The Hundred Dragons Patrol is so tyrannical that wherever it passes, even a planet can have its spiritual energy drained?"

Xuan Yan gave an affirmative answer: "The power of the Hundred Dragons can shake the universe."

They feed on Water Spirit Qi; wherever they pass, no matter the size of the star, as long as there is Water Spirit Qi, it will be drained dry, leaving not a trace behind.

Just then, Lin Qi suddenly stopped.

Then he closed his eyes, and his Divine Soul slowly drifted out from within his body.

Before Xu Zhangqing and the others, he transformed into a Void Fish that was transparent throughout, shaped like a Jin Carp, yet grew whiskers.

This is one of the core techniques of the Cangming Realm: Spirit-to-Fish Transformation.

Using Soul Power to transform into a Void Fish allows one to devour Void Water.

Only to see the Void Fish glow with spiritual light around its body, then swing its fish tail, and then head toward the depths of the starry sky at extreme speed.

Along the way, it continuously absorbed the faint remaining Water Spirit Qi, leaving behind a trail of spiritual light.

Xu Zhangqing shouted in a low voice: "It is capturing the flow trajectory of Water Spirit Qi; we quickly follow it, perhaps we can find the location of the Hundred Dragons Patrol."

Immediately, Xuan Yan and Yue Kun Lun followed closely behind, and everyone followed the Void Fish away.

After flying for who knows how long, the Void Fish stopped, circling in place, and the spiritual light around its body became increasingly dazzling.

The three hurriedly stopped, then raised their eyes to look, and were instantly shaken by the scene before them.

Only to see in the depths of the universe ahead, a tide stretching for hundreds of millions of li was moving, like a cosmic tsunami sweeping over.

Its momentum was earth-shaking, causing the surrounding stars to tremble.

Roar~

Roar~~

Roar~~~

Within the tide, giant dragons coiled and danced.

Some were golden light throughout, their Scale Armor shining.

Some were covered in Silver Scales, spraying vast Water Mist from their breath.

Some were covered in Mysterious Color scales, surrounded by majestic pressure.

Their bodies were huge, and some could even cover the sky and block the sun.

And every swing of their dragon tails stirred up waves of Cosmic Chaos Flow.

Wherever they passed, the Water Spirit Qi of the stars along the way was forcibly drawn away, gathered into that tide, and the stars instantly lost vitality, becoming dim and lightless.

And this is the Hundred Dragons Patrol that occurs once every ten thousand years.

They are unmatched in tyranny, and even invincible wherever they go.

As if all worlds under the heavens would bow their heads and submit under the dignity of the Dragon Race.

Xu Zhangqing, Yue Kun Lun, Xuan Yan, and others stood in the starry sky, watching the scene before them, their expressions solemn to the extreme.

Such terrifying power; if they are allowed to approach the Tianyuan Realm, the consequences would be unthinkable!
