Chapter 278: Chapter 139 Jin Yanhua (1/3)

Following Mingguang Dust’s call, An Jing and Ruohui were summoned to join him in constructing the Law Altar.

Mingguang Dust first set up an Illusionary Light Formation to shield the phenomena and sounds within the courtyard, then manipulated his Great Void Magic Mirror to pour out a large quantity of materials.

"So much Void Nether Jade and Void Yu Stone!"

At this sight, An Jing’s eyes widened—Mingguang Dust’s materials for the Law Altar, all related to the materials from the Celestial Domain of the Great Void Netherworld, could arguably be used to produce hundreds of Great Void Magical Instruments in the Tianyuan Realm!

Moreover, these Great Void materials had been processed and densely inscribed with Daoist Pattern Talismans, resembling intricate building blocks that clearly indicated they could form a special type of artifact.

"The former is a special product of the Taiming Sect, while the mines for Void Yu Stone are under our Bright Mirror Sect’s control."

Mingguang Dust seemed unconcerned, "Although expensive, it’s outrageously so only for high-level materials. The ones I’ve collected are fairly ordinary, usable, but overall, merely foundational."

Setting up altars, Mingguang Dust was most proficient, and Ruohui had also achieved some learning in this area. It could not be said that An Jing was completely ignorant, only that he was like a brick in the ritual tracks, moved wherever needed.

"Of course, the most important thing is actually this..."

By the time the Law Altar was gradually taking shape and Mingguang Dust had refined it into one unit with his Spiritual Power, he carefully removed a transluscent silver-blue crystal from his Divine Skill Mirror.

"This is..."

An Jing narrowed his eyes, pondering, "It looks somewhat like Spirit Jade, but it isn’t..."

"This is Earth Vein Pure Crystal."

Mingguang Dust carefully placed it in the center of the Law Altar, then, while activating a Secret Technique, said, "It’s a by-product of the finest quality jade, possessing no Spirit Qi but an extremely strong affinity to Earth Veins."

"Simply put, it serves as a marker for pinpointing the Great Void Passage... smuggling this thing into Da Chen was extremely troublesome, theoretically, once this appears, you’d be arrested for carrying a mass-destructive Magic Artifact!"

Whir.

The construction of the Law Altar was complete—the layers of silver-gray radiance mixed with blue light spiralled, forming one intricate Daoist Pattern after another.

It seemed to be waiting for something, calling for something.

Mingguang Dust, while maintaining his concentration and inner peace, and both An Jing and Ruohui understood, what happened next was greatly related to Ruohui’s fate.

And during this waiting period, An Jing shared his speculations about the Taiming Sect and the ’Great Abyss Scripture’ with the others.

Mingguang Dust was rather calm about it.

"Actually, our sect had speculated long ago." After browsing through the Great Abyss Scripture that An Jing had brought, Mingguang Dust sighed, "But speculation is useless without evidence."

"Can’t these scriptures serve as evidence?" An Jing raised his eyebrows, and Mingguang Dust nodded, "Consider it minor evidence, but evidence that can easily be erased doesn’t truly count as evidence. Our Bright Mirror Sect also has some of our teachings circulating outside, these matters can’t just be pursued without caution, otherwise, we’d all be implicating each other."

"However, if the Taiming Sect is also involved in the Emperor’s Blood matter... no wonder there are so many Heavenly Demons on Dust Li Bai Bu’s side. There must be someone backing them, using Heavenly Demons as their tool to carry out their own deeds."

Saying this, Mingguang Dust even revealed a relieved expression, "Fortunately, I never thought of keeping Mingjing within the sect, instead sending him to a place that neither the Taiming Sect nor Da Chen could possibly reach."

"Look, it’s coming."

With Mingguang Dust’s joyful voice and a very familiar sensation to An Jing, a pitch-black crack opened.

The path leading to a distant and limitless place extended from the top of the Law Altar, following the guidance of stars high above, aligning to its intended position.

Then... a figure stepped forward, walking out from the far reaches of space and time into this world.

"Well done, Guang."

A calm, decisive, and beautiful female voice sounded out, followed by a series of faint, thunder-like rumbles.

In that instant, throughout the courtyard, all metallic objects slightly levitated without any prior warning, without any fluctuation of spiritual power as if a massive magnetic field had abruptly arrived from the other side of time and space, causing everything from knives and swords to pots and spoons to float and slowly rotate.

The phenomenon was momentary; as the force of thunder magnetism receded, everything returned to its original place.

A figure emerged from the Great Void Passage, but the first thing to appear was a dragon tail covered in tough scales, with blade-like spurs at its tip, slowly sweeping through the air and creating flashes of electric arcs.

A woman with long black hair and a slender figure stepped down from the altar on a path of thunder light. She had horns as tough as old branches and a pair of pupils that looked like they were condensed from thunder light, circulating a purplish-red glow.

Her black hair transitioned into blue thunder at the ends, hanging down like ink traces, and her body was clad in form-fitting scale-pattern armor. A pitch-black spear hung on her back, exuding an aura sharp enough to pierce through the Great Void.

—Dragon!

An Jing felt a slight shock in his heart, and inside the Divine Sea, Subdue Evil was also quite astonished, "It’s actually a dragon! The bloodline appears very pure, how can there be such a pure dragon..."

"How so?" An Jing asked in his mind, "Should there not be any?"

"Since the Ancestral Dragon from Embracing the Void faced its calamity, with whom? In any case... The Ancestral Dragon joined forces with an Immortal God, to resist the Demon Lord in... where?"

Subdue Evil began confidently, but it became quite embarrassed as it forgot the words, struggling to recall, "Um, I can’t remember. I really don’t remember... Anyway, since then, no True Dragon has been in Embracing the Void."

"This Dragon Lady isn’t a complete pureblood True Dragon, but she’s already quite pure, almost indistinguishable from a real pureblood."

"Isn’t that just a pureblood, no need to be so fundamentalist, right?" "You don’t understand, a True Dragon isn’t just a species, but a status..."

After a sharp debate with Subdue Evil within the Divine Sea about someone’s bloodline, An Jing focused his attention back on the courtyard.

"Yanhua."

Upon seeing her, Mingguang Dust visibly relaxed, "Finally managed to get you over here."

"But quickly put away your armor, this small place is no match for your Central Continent sanctuaries, it will be troublesome if Da Chen notices an anomaly in the spiritual power."

The Dragon Lady didn’t respond to Mingguang Dust initially. She looked around the entire courtyard and then turned her head, "Guang, who did you just fight with? Such a thick aura of bloody curse."

"The Western Patrol Envoy from this generation of Heaven’s Will Cult, a despicable criminal." Mingguang Dust saw the issue at hand and helplessly said, "He’s been sent back to his lair, not here now."

"Oh."

Since there were no enemies, this evidently powerful and composed Dragon Lady was persuasive. With a thought, the armor around her body transformed into patterns and retracted into her body, and the spear merged into her body, becoming part of her spinal tail.

Afterward, she turned her gaze towards the other side of the Law Altar.

Wearing a Martial Arts outfit, the Dragon Lady first stared intently at Ruohui, who was locking eyes with her. After a slight nod, she then turned to An Jing, raising her eyebrows.

Then, she approached openly, her tail coiling around, and she embraced An Jing and Ruohui, affectionately rubbing them, "Not bad, both good kids, smelling just right."

An Jing didn’t know how Ruohui felt at that moment, although he could smell a fragrance resembling that of pine and blue bamboo, his only feeling was that of being entwined by a large python, completely immobilized!

"Why include me?"

Within the Divine Sea, An Jing incredulously said, "Ruohui is fine, being an old friend’s daughter, they might have even held her when she was born, but isn’t it awkward to include me?"

"Dragons are like this," Subdue Evil didn’t find it strange at all. "Ever seen a Coiling Dragon Pillar? These elongated creatures like to greet this way, and by leaving their scent on you, they can affirm that you are someone they need to protect, which to dragons, is more real than what eyes can see."

"My name is Jin Yanhua."

After leaving her scent, Yanhua released her hands and tail, and forthrightly said, "I was your father’s old comrade-in-arms, and also your master’s old comrade-in-arms."

"Don’t be too formal, just call me Jin, let’s keep it on our own terms."
