Ye Qingyue took a deep breath and asked back. "Do you know what the five-clawed golden dragon means to us mythical beasts?"
"Frankly speaking, I don't really understand the golden dragon." Xia Tian shook his head and continued. "In the past, I met with various dragon races a lot, and I've also heard about it from them, but there are too many versions about it, so I don't know which one is true."
"Then where did you get your bloodline? Did you get any other information?
Xia Tian sighed softly and told her about his encounter and conversation with the old golden dragon's soul, but he didn't tell her about the dragon's soul and bone marrow within his body.
"I see, so the old golden dragon didn't tell you too much information about us mythical beasts." Ye Qingyue said as she nodded in understanding.
Xia Tian then said to her. "Please explain to me everything you know, Qingyue."
Ye Qingyue nodded to him. "According to the history passed down through my bloodline, two primordial beasts were born at the same time as this universe was created, but I don't have any definite information about those two primordial beasts. However, one of them represents the elements of life, such as fire, water, and others. And one other represents the elements of death, such as darkness, death, and others."
Xia Tian raised his eyebrows at that, but he didn't interrupt Ye Qingyue and chose to listen to her story first.
"At the beginning, the two primordial beasts were truly like Yin and Yang, and they maintained the balance of this universe. However, after a very long time passed, the primordial beast that represented the element of death became lost, and it was blinded by worldly emotions. Since then, it has continued to challenge the light beast."
"Their battle lasted for millions of years, and it almost caused the universe to be exterminated. But in the end, the primordial beast that represented the element of life found a way to defeat it. However, the method it used had serious consequences, and the two primordial beasts were split into many fragments, and then we mythical beasts were born from their fragments."
"Even so, the trouble doesn't stop there; we mythical beasts who are born from fragments of life are constantly at war with those who are born from fragments of death. Unfortunately, at that time, we couldn't unite because of our egos and pride, so there's never been a winner between us."
"After a long war, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he united all the mythical beasts who were born from the elements of life. After we united, we were finally able to win the war against them, and that was also the mark of the beginning of the cultivators' era."
Xia Tian, who had been listening to Ye Qingyue's story for a long time, finally spoke. "It also marks the end of the true immortals, and what's left are us cultivators who strive for immortality. But in the end, none of us has ever attained true immortality."
"Yes." Ye Qingyue nodded at him. "In this universe, there are no more true immortals left; even you, who are the strongest, also end up dying, right?"
Xia Tian nodded at her and sighed in his heart; if he was a true immortal, then he wouldn't have died because of that forbidden technique.
"Anyway, the golden dragon told me that this universe still holds great danger. If the beasts that represent the elements of death are destroyed, then where does that danger come from?" Xia Tian became puzzled by all his stories and whatnot.
"To be honest, the beasts that represent the elements of death weren't really wiped out, and the golden dragon said that they were hiding somewhere, but he couldn't find them." Xia Tian frowned upon hearing that, and Ye Qingyue was silent for a few moments before she spoke again. "You must have known about the oracle's prophecy, right?"
"Yes, Xiao'er and the others have already told me about it." Xia Tian replied with a nod, and he suddenly remembered about that race. "Anyway, I heard something from Estella about the Eternal Night Race."
Ye Qingyue was shocked to hear that, and she then asked. "Eternal Night Race? Wasn't that race annihilated long ago?"
"At first, I thought like that too, but she discovered something else about them." Xia Tian then told Ye Qingyue, who was in complete shock, about Estella's story. "Sigh, we're still too weak right now, so there's no point in thinking about them for now. And you better focus on searching for your herbs, even though you still have quite a long time, but it would be better if we expelled the poison from your bodies as soon as possible."
"I understand." After that, Ye Qingyu left Xia Tian's room, and she left the Xia Residence directly.
[Master, what do you think of Ye Qingyue's story just now?]
Xia Tian tapped on his desk. "I can only think that the primordial beasts, the Eternal Night Race, and the Asura are related to each other."
Suddenly, Xia Tian felt the presence of two people in his ancient sacred realm, so he immediately stepped into it.

Ancient Sacred Realm
"Is what you said true, Tian?" Qiao Xiao immediately asked as soon as Xia Tian came inside.
Xia Tian nodded to her. "I think Estella's story is true, because it's impossible for Shu Shi to go to the dark realm on his own."
"Shu Shi and Qian Du, huh?" Fan Jing muttered to herself, then she looked at Xia Tian. "In that case, we should inform that king and the other immortals."
"Jing'er, you are too naive." Xia Tian shook his head at her. "You guys didn't even know about this before today; that means they had prepared well and were also acting with such caution. Moreover, we don't know which other immortals are joining them, and if you reveal any news about them now, then it would harm you and your realm."
Qiao Xiao nodded in agreement with his words. "Tian is right, Little Jing. For now, we can only wait and observe them; if we act too rashly, then we ourselves will suffer."
"I see." Fan Jing nodded in understanding.
Qiao Xiao smiled mischievously and sat on Xia Tian's lap, then she hugged his neck and kissed his lips. "Hey, Tian, it's been a while since we last had sex, so you have to satisfy us now."
"Tch! Ever since you returned to your adult body, you've become even more lustful." Even so, Xia Tian did not refuse Qiao Xiao's request. In the end, the three of them dual cultivated together, and they did it for quite a while.

Meanwhile, two women had arrived at the Xia Residence, and one of them asked Liu Ying who was welcoming them. "Sister Ying, I want to meet the master to discuss something."
"Hmm? You want to discuss your matters with Yan Jin, Qiangying?" Liu Ying herself was not surprised to hear Yan Qiangying address her son as her master, because Xia Tian had already told her about it when they were in the alchemy room this morning.
Yan Qingying nodded to her. "I met Yan Jin this morning, but he didn't want to tell me the truth, so I wanted to ask master for help finding out the truth."
"I see." Liu Ying then pointed towards Xia Tian's room. "That is Tian'er's room; you two can go see him in person."
"All right." The Yan Sisters nodded to her, and they immediately went to Xia Tian's room, but they couldn't find him inside.
"Where did master go, big sis?" Yan Chenyu asked in confusion.
Yan Qiangying sighed softly and answered her little sister. "I think Master is in his dual cultivation space now, and he is probably dual cultivating with his women."
"Hey, big sister, have you dual cultivated with the master?" Yan Chenyu curiously asked.
Yan Qingying shook her head at her. "Before, master refused to let me serve him, so we haven't done it."
"I see." Yan Chenyu nodded repeatedly, but she was also surprised to hear that Xia Tian refused her big sister to serve him. 'Will he refuse if I want to serve him?'
Since Xia Tian wasn't in his room, they decided to see Liu Ying again, and she asked them to wait for their son in the guest room.

My other novels
1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he would change with time.
2. Otherworldly-Cultivator: There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.
3. Zhang Fei-The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
