Qingzhou, Thunder Island.

Lightning roared, and the clouds seemed like a sea of thunder. Above Qingzhou, in a violent Sky Domain surrounded by countless lightning forces, a massive island floated high in the sky.

This island was the territory of the Thunder Dragon Clan, a core clan of the Demon Court, located in the chaotic Cloud Sea region.

Ordinary cultivators, let alone entering the Thunder Dragon Clan’s territory, would probably be unable to even break through the lightning layer outside the island if their cultivation was below the Nascent Soul stage.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz. At this moment, a group of uninvited guests visited the Thunder Dragon Clan’s territory. A billion-strong mosquito swarm traveled together, each Mosquito Beast shimmering with a crimson light and looking fierce. Facing the lightning layer that even Great Yao at the Core Formation stage would avoid, they entered with ease as if entering an uninhabited place.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle. Countless lightning bolts fell upon them, yet not even a single mark was left behind. As the terrifying mosquito swarm approached, atop Thunder Island, the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader, who had perfectly comprehended the worldly power of the lightning element, suddenly opened his eyes.

On this Thunder Island, every bolt of lightning could be said to be his Divine Sense. This terrifying billion-strong mosquito swarm was simply incomprehensible to the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader.

“Cloud Sea Mosquito Beasts? Why would the Ten Horrors of the Cloud Sea appear here!” He was extremely puzzled, and it was a swarm of a billion!

Most Soul Transformation experts would keep their distance from a mosquito swarm of this scale. Although the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader had reached the Peak of Soul Transformation…

…he still didn’t dare to be careless in the face of this strange billion-strong mosquito swarm. He descended outside Thunder Island in an Incarnation, intending to take a closer look. As the massive Lei Long body condensed and emerged, the billion-strong mosquito swarm also stopped flying. Then, to the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader’s astonishment, he actually saw a youth with Foundation Establishment cultivation standing atop a giant mosquito at the core of the swarm!!!

Besides that, next to this youth was someone the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader was very familiar with.

“Third Holy Daughter Your Highness?!!!” The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader was stunned. But then, his expression changed. It wasn’t because of the noble Third Holy Maiden of the Demon Court—judging by her position, she was behind and to the side of this mysterious youth, seemingly following his lead—but even more so because on the other side of the mysterious youth was a Mosquito Woman who possessed both human and Mosquito Beast characteristics. Only the Yao Race could possess such traits!

“It has been a long time, Thunder Dragon Clan Leader,” Xu Qingyao spoke slowly. “Let me introduce you. This is the Fourth Holy Maiden of the Demon Court, the Mosquito Holy Maiden, personally appointed by His Majesty the Demon Emperor.”

The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader’s heart shook. Mosquito… Holy Maiden?

Could it be…?

“Master, the field here is chaotic; the mosquito swarm might not be able to stay for long.” Just then, the Fourth Holy Maiden, whom Xu Qingyao had just introduced, actually called the mysterious youth “Master,” causing the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader to fall silent on the spot.

“Thunder Dragon Clan Leader, this is the Saint of the Demon Court appointed by His Majesty the Demon Emperor. His status is above the four Holy Maidens,” Xu Qingyao continued the introduction.

The Saint—the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader felt as if the Demon Court had suddenly become very unfamiliar.

“Thunder Dragon Clan Leader, could you first disperse the surrounding lightning?” When Lin Jing spoke, although there was a world of difference between his cultivation Realm and the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader’s, the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader did not hesitate at all and immediately dispersed the surrounding lightning.

Then, his voice dry and hoarse, he spoke, having already guessed something.

“Greetings, Your Highness the Saint. May I ask, has Your Highness already found the method for the Yao Race’s revival?”

“Yes.” Lin Jing nodded.

Beside him, Xu Qingyao said regretfully, “Thunder Dragon Clan Leader, oh Thunder Dragon Clan Leader. Back then, when this Saintess invited you to verify the Transformation Method, you just had to refuse. Otherwise, this position of Fourth Holy Maiden might have belonged to your Thunder Dragon Clan’s little princess.”

“I—” The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader’s face was full of bitterness, his heart filled with unspoken woes. It actually succeeded?

For countless years, the Demon Court had been searching for the Transformation Method to no avail. Everything before him was truly hard for the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader to believe.

Seeing the majestic Mosquito Woman, the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader felt conflicted. If his daughter found out about this, with her personality, she would definitely make a huge scene. If the Old Ancestor found out, he would probably skin him alive.

“Are you… the Longevity Physique, Lin Jing?” Suddenly, the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader, who had felt Lin Jing looked somewhat familiar, thought of something.

Currently, Lin Jing was not using a Phantom Body but was traveling in his original appearance. Given the commotion he had caused within the Heavenly Lion Clan, most forces in Qingzhou were likely not unfamiliar with him.

“Thunder Dragon Clan Leader, although you refused the invitation before, I know you were also worried about your child’s safety. Now that I have developed a safer Transformation Pill, I am about to participate in the Qingzhou Alchemy Convention by order of the Demon Emperor. We are currently lacking a Pill Tester. I wonder if the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader is willing to let the Thunder Dragon Princess try this time?”

After Lin Jing spoke, the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected that refusing to cooperate with the Transformation Method experiment wouldn’t result in punishment from His Majesty the Demon Emperor, but instead, they were given a second chance.

“Your Highness the Saint, the Thunder Dragon Clan… is willing to fully cooperate this time!!!” The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader lowered his head and spoke to Lin Jing in gratitude.

“That is excellent.” Lin Jing stood atop the Mosquito Beast and said, “However, this transformation opportunity isn’t being given to your Thunder Dragon Clan for nothing. Although the Transformation Pill has undergone many improvements and is no longer dangerous, there is still significant room for improvement—”

“I have heard that the Thunder Dragon Clan’s Lei Long Scale Blood is extremely unique. Next, I would like to use some Lei Long Scale Blood for research. I wonder if the Thunder Dragon Clan Leader can make the decision.”

The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader nodded and said, “That is a small matter. Whatever amount Your Highness needs, my Thunder Dragon Clan will provide. However, my daughter is currently not within the clan. Please give me some time, Your Highness, to find her and bring her back…”

“Not in the clan?” Lin Jing frowned. “Where is she? It won’t be long until the Alchemy Convention begins, and soon after, I will be heading to the Tongtian Path— Wait, she hasn’t reached Core Formation yet, right?”

“Rest assured, Your Highness. My daughter is still at the Peak of Foundation Establishment. She is combative by nature and loves to break through only after defeating most Prodigies of the same Realm! It was like that during the Qi Refinement Stage, and it is the same now during the Foundation Establishment Stage. This time, she should be under her elder brother’s escort, heading into Qingzhou to challenge the human Prodigies—”

“It seems her location is exactly at the Tongtian Path…” The Thunder Dragon Clan Leader felt ashamed.

“I see. Since she is at the Tongtian Path, that makes things easier. Can you determine her specific location? I’ll just go to the Tongtian Path to find her.”

Meanwhile, at the Tongtian Path, outside Lotus City.

Lotus City was a city built in Qingzhou by the Lotus Chamber of Commerce of the Ancient Kingdom.

Years ago, when the Academy Mass Transfer incident occurred, many Academy geniuses were teleported to Qingzhou. To protect these geniuses, the Lotus Chamber of Commerce was tasked with finding them in Qingzhou and gathering them in this city for protection—until a suitable opportunity was found to safely send them back to the Ancient Kingdom.

At this moment, a Lei Long flew in the sky and spoke to the city: “I heard that many geniuses from the Ancient Kingdom are gathered here.”

“Is there anyone who can fight? Come out and exchange a few moves with this Princess!”
