Above the firmament, the supernatural phenomena that suppressed the world lingered for a whole quarter-hour before dissipating.

Although the phenomena had dissipated, Celestial Melody Ancient City was in an uproar.

Countless cultivators in the city were witnessing the scene of a Saint's breakthrough for the first time.

What they saw today would be a tale to boast of for a lifetime.

On the pavilion terrace of Celestial Residence Tavern, Ji Yinyue, Lu Jiu Hua, and Zhong Yunling with her niece were all waiting to witness the presence of the being who had just ascended to Saint.

If they could establish a connection with a Saint, it would give them great prestige, and perhaps even save their lives.

A Saint, in the Divine Desolate Continent, is also one of the pinnacle creatures.

Ji Yinyue appeared somewhat silent, her thoughts unknown.

This time seeing the phenomena brought by Gu Qijue's breakthrough.

It stirred an enormous conjecture in her heart.

But she wasn't very certain.

They waited for nearly two hours.

Suddenly,

An imposing pressure that shook one's body and soul radiated faintly from downstairs.

Feeling this oppression, the few of them stood up in unison.

Then,

They saw a figure, with white hair and blood-red eyes, draped in the Black Dragon Profound Robe, tall and imposing, striding up with steady, powerful steps.

Seeing this man, Zhong Yunling's beautiful eyes burst with an unprecedented brilliance.

Living for thousands of years, she had never seen a man with such an aura, exuding invincibility inside and out.

"Greetings, senior!"

Lu Jiu Hua and Zhong Yunling, along with her niece, slightly trembled in spirit as they stepped forward to greet him in unison.

In this world of the law of the jungle, beings more powerful than oneself must be addressed as seniors.

Age is never a measure of seniority.

"Senior Brother, this is Zhong Yunling, the President of the Elixir Guild in Celestial Melody Ancient City, and this is the City Lord, Lu Jiu Hua."

Ji Yinyue looked deeply at Gu Qijue and then stepped forward with a smile to introduce them.

Then, she transmitted the course of events to Gu Qijue.

"My junior sister and I have come from afar, I trouble President Zhong to introduce us to Medicine King Valley, please take a seat!"

Gu Qijue smiled faintly, gesturing with his hand.

"It's just a small effort. With the senior's strength, even if you visit, Medicine King Valley would welcome you with open arms. This introduction lets me bask in your glory!"

Zhong Yunling replied somewhat flattered.

It was her first time seeing such a young Saint.

Moreover, an invincible existence within the same realm.

In terms of aura, appearance, and strength, this man was flawless, a rarity in the world.

Then, after the servant served food and drinks had been passed around three times, Ji Yinyue softly laughed and said, "I heard that Medicine King Valley occupies eighty percent of the Spirit Medicine Field in the Celestial Domain. Indeed remarkable strength!"

Before Zhong Yunling could speak, the girl in the purple dress proudly said, "Beautiful sister, just so you know, in the Celestial Domain, if Medicine King Valley doesn't have a spirit medicine, you absolutely won't find it outside."

"Truly impressive, my senior brother and I have been out for quite some time. If President Zhong is free, can you take us to Medicine King Valley tomorrow?" Ji Yinyue raised her glass and smiled at the latter.

Zhong Yunling raised her glass in return, "There's nothing much recently, so let's depart tomorrow."

They finished the meal amid chatter, and when they left, nightfall had already descended.

Slightly tipsy, Ji Yinyue, with her radiant and lovely face slightly flushed, softly exhaled, looked at Gu Qijue, and said, "I've found out from Lu Jiu Hua which sect Xuanyuan Tuoba belongs to. It turned out to be one of the three overlord forces in the Celestial Domain, Qin Celestial Divine Sect, with an unknown long legacy, no wonder the alliance sent them to infiltrate."

Gu Qijue took a sip of wine and said, "Too many monks, too little rice; the Celestial Domain is too small. We should first vie for the Medicine King Valley, and when my Infinite Group develops, we can then make a move on another overlord force as we conquer other domains."

"Mm-hmm! I think so too."

Ji Yinyue nodded, her eyes fixating on Gu Qijue, "President Xing, your breakthrough resulted in no small phenomena, especially that Black Dragon… your true form… could it be…"

"What if my true form is that of a Black Dragon?!"

Gu Qijue looked at her with a half-smile, "Do you want to see it?"

"Yes." Ji Yinyue wasn't afraid of Gu Qijue's expression at all.

"As you wish!"

With that, Gu Qijue's upper clothing exploded, and a Black Dragon flickering with lightning, and a Blood Dragon flickering with blood flames burst forth from his back.

The Black Dragon cut through the air with such speed, like a black shadow, encircling Ji Yinyue's slender waist, suppressing her entire strength, lifting her in front of Gu Qijue.

"Wow!"

Ji Yinyue was not afraid at all, her unrestrained jade hand gently caressed the menacing dragon head.

"Knowing my secret, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?!"

Gu Qijue watched her, thoroughly enjoying playing with his dragon head, feeling somewhat surprised.

"I never intended to tell anyone, so why should I fear? Moreover, even if I did, what good would it do me? Besides, you promised to help me ascend to Saint too, you can't break your word."

Ji Yinyue was very calm and sincere, "Actually, I suspected for a long time that you might be the existence on Sin Star, but just had no evidence. If I harbored any malice towards you, even the slightest suspicion, I would have informed the ancestor about this."

The fact that she inherited Celestial Moon Group from so many competitors within the clan speaks volumes of her cunning, underestimating her would definitely lead to losses.

From Gu Qijue probing Cute Treasure, Xing Emperor, from him seeking information about the supposedly dead Black Dragon on Sin Star,

plus the domineering invincible aura he exuded, made Ji Yinyue deeply suspicious.

What deepened her suspicion even more was the demonic power he infused into her during their city entry,

possessing a faint Dragon Might, though almost imperceptible, she still sensed it.

That moment, she was filled with... hesitation!

Gu Qijue set her down and said lightly, "Cooperating with me won't cause losses for your Celestial Moon Group."

"I know, this matter, only you and I know, unless you reveal your identity, no third person will know."

Ji Yinyue stroked the Black Dragon on Gu Qijue's back, disregarding the Blood Dragon, puzzled, "Why did that one become a Blood Dragon?"

"See the nine Dragon Pearls on my chest? Five are yet to be refined. Once they all become Black Dragon Pearls, I will have fully refined the inherited power of the Blood Dragon Nine Ancestors."

Gu Qijue gestured for her to look at his chest.

Ji Yinyue's attention, always on Gu Qijue's Black Dragon, finally noticed the faintly visible four Black Dragon Pearls, and five Blood Dragon Pearls on his chest.

Instantly shocked, "You even received the inheritance of the Blood Dragon Nine Ancestors? Among them, is there a kind of Jiao Dragon Evolution Technique?"

Ji Yinyue, her face full of eagerness, looked at Gu Qijue heatedly, excitedly reaching for his chest.

The Blood Dragon Race possesses an Evolution Technique, which can enable the Celestial Moon Python lineage to transform and evolve into Celestial Moon Flood Dragons.

This is a bloodline level sublimation, but unfortunately, it is mastered by the Blood Dragon Race.

Back then the Celestial Moon Ancestor tried to trade for it, but was mercilessly refused.
