The hot pot was bubbling away, steaming heat into the air.

Chris was grinning from ear to ear as she ate.

Wu Xiaode lay there, letting Gjestastav feed him the soup.

—The fairies had provided the iron pot and condiments, Gjestastav had picked mushrooms and wild vegetables, and hunted a wild chicken.

Thus, the meal was made.

"How long will it take for me to recover?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"About your body, there's bad news and good news," Chris said.

"Bad news first," Wu Xiaode said.

"You've drained the Bloodline Power you just awakened to depletion, so you need to recuperate before we can continue on our journey," Chris said.

"And the good news?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Now you're a dragon, you understand? You can use the methods of the Dragon Clan to recover," Chris said.

The methods of the Dragon Clan...

Isn't that just sleeping on top of a treasure?

Wu Xiaode gently stroked the Holy Treasure Ring on his finger.

The wealth won from bone dragons, Blood Youth, and bets made in collaboration with Satan were all stored in this ring.

Oh, not just that.

There were also two investments given by the blind old man.

The currency he had acquired before was Gold, and a step higher would be High-level Soul Crystals.

But what the blind old man gave were supreme Soul Crystals!

Supreme Soul Crystals were treasures hard to come by in All Worlds, perfect crystals of soul energy.

Speaking of wealth, he indeed had enough.

This was indeed good news.

"Gjestastav, how are you feeling now?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

"While you were unconscious, I successfully awakened my Bloodline Power," Gjestastav softly said.

"Is it the same Basic Dragon King Blood Curse as mine?" Wu Xiaode asked with interest.

Gjestastav carefully wiped the corners of Wu Xiaode's mouth and whispered in his ear:

"Little Wu, you're only five years old, your body is just beginning to grow, this won't affect you, you'll definitely recover soon."

The Book of the Dead suddenly opened, quickly revealing a line of icy crystal writing:

"You are affected by the Ancient Dragon King Blood Curse, temporarily obtaining the following title—"

"'You are just a little brother'."

"Equipping this title, your body's recovery speed will increase threefold, and puberty will also come earlier."

"This title is automatically equipped and will last for three days."

Wu Xiaode fell silent.

That's good.

It appears Gjestastav had also broken through the First Layer of Sealing.

—Originally, she would have awakened in the village, then captured by those people, either having her power sealed or outright taken away.

Now, that seal had been broken.

"Chris, can you still divine the future?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I've already divined it, the second layer of sealing has quietly unfolded," Chris said.

"What is it?"

"You obliterated the enemy in that camp, but next, more and more powerful enemies will come, smelling the scent. You have to rapidly increase your strength while avoiding being hunted until Gjestastav successfully upgrades the Ancient Dragon King Blood Curse to sub-level," Chris said.

Wu Xiaode looked out of the cave.

The wind and snow howled ceaselessly.

Tonight was a raging blizzard, the whole mountain range would be covered in snow.

—Those enemies just turned into dog shit.

If the pursuers were coming, they'd have to wait until this night passed, right?

Then.

Wu Xiaode did not ask further but quietly finished his dinner.

After dinner.

He swiped the Holy Treasure Ring, releasing a pile of Gold Coins that quickly filled the entire cave.

"Gjestastav, these Gold Coins are for you to use in your meditative slumber," he said.

"Little Wu, where did you get so much Gold?"

"Those chasing us were killed by the fire of my Dragon King Blood Curse, the Gold Coins I collected from them,"

Gjestastav, just six years old, nodded vaguely, yawned, and lay down in her clothes in the corner.

Soon.

She fell into a deep slumber.

"Gjestastav is just a dragon, so these Gold Coins should be enough for her meditative slumber," Chris evaluated.

Wu Xiaode realized something and asked, "What about me?"

"You? Even though this is a dream of awakening for the Dragon Clan, you are a World Master, Little Wu, you need far more and higher-level treasures," Chris said.

"I see, but I can't sleep now."

"Why not?"

"To keep watch, in case something happens at night, I can—"

Chris interrupted him, "Then you can't do anything—after all, you've exhausted all your energy, let me keep watch. You should sleep quickly, taking advantage of the absence of pursuers, and replenish your strength."

Wu Xiaode thought it made sense.

He couldn't even lift his hand now. What could he do if there were pursuers?

Better to let Chris make some concealments.

He lay down amid the pile of Gold Coins and tried to fall asleep.

But a few minutes later—

Wu Xiaode turned his head to look at Gjestastav, only to see her already asleep, not only drooling in her sleep but also seemingly enjoying some delicious food in her dreams.

He slept so well!

The Dragon Clan only gets stronger through sleep, and if Gjestastav keeps it up, the Ancient Dragon King Blood Curse might soon rise to the sub-level.

However—

He, himself, couldn't sleep.

Wu Xiaode thought about it and decided to take out all the top-tier Soul Crystals given by the blind man, arranging them into a bed.

Gjestastav groaned.

"This power is too strong, she can't take it. I'll help you move it further away," Chris said, waving her wand.

The bed of Soul Crystals, along with Wu Xiaode, flew up and landed on the other side of the cave.

Gjestastav then stopped groaning and fell back into a deep, sweet slumber.

As for Wu Xiaode—

He landed on the bed made of top-tier Soul Crystals.

Almost instantly—

An unstoppable drowsiness rushed over him.

"It's so effective…"

He didn't finish his sentence before he fell asleep.

Seeing both of them asleep, Chris quietly stood up, flitted to the cave entrance, and waving her wand, chanted a spell:

"Barahu, Barahu, no one sees a cave here!"

The entrance to the cave vanished immediately.

She checked it over, satisfied, then returned to sit in front of the hotpot.

"Everyone's asleep... nice, I'll have my second meal!"

With a gentle tap of her wand,

Steam began to rise from beneath the hotpot instantly.

Chris happily started eating again.

...

Darkness surrounded him.

Wu Xiaode slowly opened his eyes and was surprised to find himself completely re-energized.

But the next second, he realized something.

Wrong!

This must be a dream!

He stood up and looked around.

In the midst of darkness,

A mysterious power seemed to be hiding, wandering like a ghost in the Void, impossible to grasp or see.

—What exactly is going on?

Wu Xiaode felt it intuitively and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch that power.

It seemed the power heard his call too; it immediately came towards him and gradually formed in front of him.

—But it was a black wall.

The Wall of Sighs!

"It's you... I understand now..." Wu Xiaode whispered.

Normally, no matter how powerful the skills he acquired were, they had to be processed through the Wall of Sighs to adapt them to his own style.

But now—

The Wall of Sighs had been sealed by the Purgatory Demon King!

A tense feeling caught Wu Xiaode's heart, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch the dark wall.

His fingertips had just touched the wall—

The Wall of Sighs suddenly turned into layers of light and shadow, disappearing from his sight.

"Ah... yes... you were sealed..."

Wu Xiaode sighed in disappointment.

How great it would have been if the Ancient Dragon King Blood Curse, a spell of that level, could be transformed into a skill of his own style!

What a pity...

Wu Xiaode stayed silent for a while, suddenly recalling a segment of knowledge from the Human Emperor's inheritance, containing a scene he had never seen before.

The Human Emperor stood in a mountain pavilion, casually saying:

"The Dragon Clan and Devils are natural-born enemies."

"If a Devil dares to place a seal on a Dragon Clan member, it will certainly arouse the most primal power in their bloodline."

"That dragon, just relying on the power of its bloodline, will definitely find the Devil who cast the seal."

"...regardless of life and death."

Wu Xiaode stood there for a moment, his eyes suddenly flashing fiercely.

"It was I who won, why can you still seal me?"

"I won't accept this!"

"...To the Death World, to find you, to utterly destroy you..."

As his anger grew stronger, blood-red runes appeared on his body.

Rumbling—

The ground of the dream realm split open, creating an endless chasm.

The countless cries of the Undead from beneath, mixed with vast death energy, surged upwards.

—Undoubtedly, below was the path to the Death World!

Yet Wu Xiaode, familiar with the Death World, didn't hesitate at all, and directly jumped down.

In that boiling abyss, burning with Fiery Flames, countless ghostly shadows and innumerable skeletal hands swarmed towards him, attempting to grasp him.

But he shook his body, transforming into a dragon made of Fiery Flames.

The power of his bloodline kept awakening!

The Flame Dragon annihilated all the ghostly creatures in haste, then continued to plummet towards the bottom of the abyss.
