If he were not the master of the Dragon Ancestor, how could such a powerful being like the Dragon Ancestor be so submissive?
As he pondered, he felt the soft hand that had been holding the sword brush against his chest, and the long legs that had been like blossoming lotus flowers.
"Master, Long Er is always willing to serve you."
The Dragon Ancestor spoke gently, "Compared to the former master of Supreme Forgetting Emotions, the current master is much more personable. But I know this is temporary; a master is always a master, and you will undoubtedly climb to the pinnacle once again, standing even higher."
Song Yan abruptly stopped, pushed the Dragon Ancestor aside, and said, "I’ll go in and take a look first."
Since his comprehension of the realm, for the first time, he felt his heart was in turmoil.
The thing he feared and dreaded the most... had happened.
He must enter through this door.
Not just for the Secret Treasure, but more importantly, for the answers.
If he was a Celestial Venerable in his previous life, and his journey to this point was nothing but a grand scheme of "stealing heaven and changing the day," then... all his efforts and insights in this life would seem like a joke.
He took a step forward, eyes shadowed, suddenly stopped again, and turned back to ask, "What is your name?"
The Dragon Ancestor gently replied, "Long Muyun."
"Long Mu... Dragon Tomb..."
Song Yan murmured, suddenly saying, "Your tribe excavates ancient tombs; could it be that your real goal is to seek the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm?"
Long Muyun replied respectfully, "Indeed, the Dragon Tomb clan are all your servants."
Song Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Since you call me master, why not open your mind and let me control you with the Demon Mother Shackles, would that be alright?"
Long Muyun said, "Though the master is strong, I have actually ascended to the Immortal List, and even though I am not skilled in the Divine Soul Attack Technique, it would be hard for you to control me with the Demon Mother Shackles... But I can cooperate with you, you can try it."
Having said that, she opened her mind.
Song Yan cast the gray light shackles on her.
The shackles tightened, but the central divine soul radiated golden light, and the Demon Mother Shackles naturally loosened and retreated like lightning back into Song Yan’s body.
Song Yan silently put away the chains.
He understood now.
This Dragon Ancestor, who seemingly acknowledged him as master and yielded to him, was likely the strongest he had encountered, excluding the corpse demon in the void, and not counting the mysterious elder Ning Daozhen.
Yet such a person was now so humble before him.
Song Yan, with a heavy step, proceeded to the next stone chamber.
The contents within the chamber were extremely simple, with only three items floating in mid-air.
First, a golden Immortal Thought;
Second, a Jade Scroll;
Third, a letter.
Song Yan took the letter.
The letter’s contents were varied, but to sum up, only a few points:
But Long Muyun had already sensed something, gently saying, "Master, focus on your cultivation, don’t worry, if little mice come outside, Long Er will handle them for you. Besides... they don’t have the master’s abilities, even if they want to reach here, they might not be able to.
When the master completes the cultivation and becomes proficient in controlling this Secret Realm, you can even command the Netherworld creatures within to sweep them away, ensuring they never return."
Song Yan felt incredibly suffocated, nodding, maybe... he really had to start accepting reality.
A long time passed...
And then some more...
An information appeared on his panel:
[Cultivation Method: Corpse Cutting Technique]
He looked at this cultivation method, hesitated slightly, and thought: ’Cultivate this method.’
Instantly...
A series of information emerged.
[In the first hundred years, you slashed the Evil Corpse]
[In the second hundred years, you slashed the Good Corpse]
[In the third hundred years, you slashed My Corpse]
[With the three corpses eliminated, you completely understood the meaning of Supreme Forgetting Emotions, successfully integrated with the Dao, and became an avatar of this world’s master]
[You died, regaining three hundred years of life span]
