As the Dragon God heard what Hazuki said, he was shocked once again.
Creating Spatial portals was very hard! You need to have the proper technique and huge strength to back the Space Portal since it might collapse mid-way! If that happened, then the people who entered might be lost in the outer dimension!
"Are you sure?! You only need to familiarize yourself with my aura, right?! Here, I'll let you inside my domain first to familiarize yourself!" The Dragon God hastily said. He was very excited and was looking forward to finally seeing his daughter once more.
Hazuki was pulled inside the Dragon God's personal space. Of course, that was only because Hazuki allowed himself to be pulled. If he wanted to, he could've resisted the aura but, why would he do that?
The place he was currently on practically overflowing with domineering aura. A certain powerful aura can be felt within the surroundings and this should be the Dragon God's aura.
'This should be his soul...' Hazuki thought as he stared at his body. He was floating as a soul, like when he first met the lady goddess.
'My body should still be in the cave.. I better hurry up and leave this place.' Then Hazuki devoted himself to remembering the aura of the Dragon God. This wasn't easy at all since it was a very unique aura that can only be felt from Dragon God's.
A few minutes later, Hazuki finished imprinting the soul aura into his mind. The soul aura imprint was located near his soul realm.
"Primordial Azure Dragon, I have already memorized your aura." Hazuki said. Suddenly, his soul was pulled from that place and he came back tho his body within the cave.
"So, are you done?! Can you locate my daughter now?!" The Dragon God excitedly said.
"Of course! As long as I can perceive even a little bit of her aura, I will be able to pinpoint her location!" Hazuki said.
"Then, I'll start now!" Then Hazuki closed his eyes and spread out his sense. He used his most powerful Chakra combination and spread it out, locating the soul aura of the Dragon God's daughter.
Sweat filled Hazuki's forehead as he searched through many dimensions just to locate the Dragon God's daughter.
Suddenly, Hazuki opened his eyes. "There!" Then he used his Rinne-Sharingan to create a portal where he felt the presence.
Hazuki jumped inside and arrived in a barren land. The surrounding area had an ominous aura and the feeling of death covered the area.
He looked around and saw nothing around. There were skeletons around that emitted a formidable aura, but that's it. He couldn't sense anything alive around 10,000 miles radius.
'Here, huh..' Hazuki thought as he stared below him.
The soul aura which he was looking for was right below him. He could feel that it was roughly 100 meters underground.
The sword should be buried here because of time. The terrain changed and the sword was left in that place as it was altered.
'Is this the forbidden land of Samsara? Impossible, this place has no life at all... And if this was really the forbidden land of Samsara, then Shen Xi should be here at least...' Hazuki thought.
Hazuki used Kamui with his whole body and descended towards the Presence. He descended very carefully until he finally reached the Sword.
The sword was covered in mud and a skeleton hand was holding onto it.
Even though the terrain already changed over time, the skeleton hand still looked pristine as if it was maintained every day.
It was gripping on the sword with tightly as if attached to the sword itself.
Hazuki extended his hands towards the sword's blade. He avoided touching the skeleton as e definitely wouldn't want to touch that bone hand.
Hazuki held it by the blade as he ascended upwards. The sword didn't even meet any resistance from the surroundings as it collided with the ground.
A few seconds later, Hazuki emerged from the ground. He raised the sword and was startled.
There was a dead body attached to the sword! How could this skeleton be dragged here together with the sword?!
Hazuki summoned his Kusanagi sword and slashed towards the skeleton hand, attempting to release its vice grip on the sword's hilt.
*Clink* The sword couldn't even put a dent on the skeleton hand as it rebounded.
*Roar!* An ominous roar resounded from the Skeleton.
It's eye sockets glowed red as it suddenly came to life. The skeleton stood firmly and gripped the sword even more tightly.
"Anyone..! Who dares...! Steal...! The sword from me..! Must die...!" The skeleton didn't speak but there was a voice that came from nowhere. It should be a direct intent coming from the skeleton.
The skeleton suddenly moved and rushed agilely towards Hazuki. As the skeleton appeared in front of Hazuki it raised its right arm, which is holding the sword, then slashed it diagonally towards Hazuki's neck.
Hazuki was quite startled by the Skeleton's speed. 'What? This thing is even faster than Goku!'
As he felt the sword heading towards him, Hazuki attempted to use Kamui to pass through the sword. But he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from it so he immediately jumped backward.
*Boom!* The Skeleton struck the ground where Hazuki was formerly situated. The ground was devastated by that single attack and a large crater formed beneath it.
'That sword could penetrate space! Kamui was useless against that sword! Good thing I dodged, if not, then maybe I would've been injured by that nasty skeleton!' Hazuki thought as he stared at the sword within the skeleton's hands.
'Even though that skeleton couldn't control the sword, just the sharpness of that sword alone could break my defenses!'
Then Hazuki immediately entered his Six paths Senjutsu. A white Six paths Haori immediately draped around his body and ten Truth-seeking orbs appeared behind him.
Hazuki manipulated a single orb and made a staff. The truth-seeking orb immediately deformed its shape and assumed a black staff form.
The Skeleton once again rushed towards Hazuki, this time, it was faster and the sword strike looked much more dangerous. The skeleton held the sword, in front of its chest, parallel to the ground then made a slashing motion towards Hazuki's bowel.
Before the sword could even reach him, Hazuki disappeared. He appeared behind the Skeleton and smashed his staff towards its head with his full strength.
*Bang!* The Skeleton's head directly shattered under the impact and the parts around struck by Hazuki's staff disintegrated. The skeleton collapsed forwards and remained motionless.
Hazuki checked the skeleton's state and saw that its eyes were no longer emitting the ominous red glow. Hazuki then crushed the skeleton with his truth-seeking orbs, disintegrating it until no dust was left.
The only thing remaining of the skeleton was the right hand gripping the Sword's hilt. Hazuki then grabbed the sword's hilt, trying to pry the sword away from the Skeleton.
Suddenly, the Sword emitted a blinding glow. Hazuki was startled, he opened his hand and released his grip, but the sword remained attached to his palm. It released a mighty aura and oppressed the surroundings.
The ground cracked as if it couldn't endure the pressure exerted by the Sword.
Hazuki also noticed that the skeleton hand is starting to vanish after the sword emitted light.
'What is..?" Hazuki thought puzzledly after witnessing this scene. Then suddenly, he felt his God Ki getting absorbed by the sword.
'What?! Stop, stupid sword!!' Hazuki was panicking. The Sword was sucking the God Ki out of him at a fast pace. If this continued, then all of his God Ki might get sucked by the sword.
His God Ki reserves were depleting, he can feel the God Ki flowing into the sword endlessly.
The sword continued sucking his God Ki until Hazuki felt his God Ki reserves were reduced to half.
After his God Ki reserves were halved, the Sword stopped absorbing it.
'Grr... How dare you drain half of it..!' Hazuki was irritated. He painstakingly trained and meditated in Beerus' planet for 10 months just to achieve his current reserves. And just in a few minutes, it was halved because of this parasite sword!
The Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword is 1.5 meters long with an 8 inches wide blade. The blade is white-colored, has sharp, thin edges, and was quite thick in the central part. Its hilt was decorated with red, white stripes and its guard was raised 45°. Just above the guard, there's a light blue-colored jewel embedded.
On its blade, characters are forming the words 'Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword.'
As he was staring at it, Hazuki suddenly felt a connection between him and the sword. Though weak, the sword definitely bound itself to Hazuki.
'Tsk.. This sword bound itself to me because of my superior energy.. This is not good... Will this sword continue to absorb every God Ki I have? That'd be a disaster...' Hazuki thought as he stared at the sword.
After the sword bound itself to him, Hazuki could feel the extreme Yang nature of the sword. This sword would be the bane of devils because of its extreme Yang energy.
Maybe that's also the reason why it bound itself to him since the God Ki is a very pure Physical energy of the Yang attribute.
Hazuki became the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword's first master. The reason why this sword didn't accept any master should be because the residents of primal chaos simply can't wield it with their inferior energy.
'This should also be the case for Mo E.. Even if he could use the sword, it will consume a massive amount of his life force in substitute for the required Yang energy. God Ki would be the most suitable to use since it was yang energy and a type of life force.'
After observing it for a moment, Hazuki broke out of his trance. He then levitated and got out of the planet's atmosphere.
Hazuki observed the planet's appearance and he shook his head.
It was a completely dead planet.
'The ground has already blackened due to some unknown reasons, and I can even see cracks extending through the planet's surface... There's also no sense of life within it.' Then Hazuki observed around him, he couldn't see any nearby planet.
'This planet was completely isolated.. I probably should destroy this planet in case the skeletons inside also awaken.' Hazuki thought as he stared at the sword within his hands.
'Let me see your power.' Then Hazuki injected his God Ki inside the sword and swung downwards, aiming at the planet.
The Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword suddenly released a shockwave. It was a massive shockwave that instantly disintegrated the planet into ashes. The shockwave didn't stop there and continued outwards.
Hazuki doesn't know if the Shockwave can still kill something by that Direction.
'Powerful! Maybe it's for the better that I received this sword!' Thought Hazuki excitedly after witnessing the power of the sword.
He just injected his God Ki then swung downwards, then bingo! The planet immediately turned to dust and ceased to exist.
After witnessing the sword's might, Hazuki immediately created a portal towards the Dragon God's trial grounds. His aim here was already accomplished.
As Hazuki got out of the Portal, he was greeted by the Dragon God's excited voice. "How was it?! Were you able to find my daughter?!"
Hazuki smirked then brought out the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword.
As soon as it appeared, an intense aura immediately blanketed the surroundings. Hazuki could also feel the beasts within the wasteland of death suddenly rushed out. They must've been terrified by the Sword's mighty aura.
"T-that..! That's it! That's definitely it!" The Dragon God totally lost his composure. He didn't think he'd be able to see his daughter again in this lifetime. Ever since a million years ago, he has already lost hope about ever finding her again. He didn't think that Hazuki would really be able to find his daughter so easily.
"So, your end of the deal needs to be fulfilled, right?" Hazuki said. This is called 'killing two birds with one stone' since he obtained both father and daughter after doing a single favor.
"Of course! What do you need? Do you want my Dragon God's marrow and Dragon God's soul?! I can give it to you! But before that, can you let me see my daughter?!" The Dragon God replied hastily. It's been a few million years since he last saw his daughter after all.
Hazuki then focused his will on the sword and ejected the presence he felt earlier after the sword bound itself to him.
The Sword released a sudden flash and a figure suddenly appeared on the ground.
It was a woman with long, blue hair that extends to her waist. She was wearing a light-blue colored Hanfu with a flowery embroidery printed on it. Her brows were furrowed as she was laying on the cave's hard surface.
"!!!.. My daughter Lan'er... I didn't think I would still be able to see you this lifetime.." The Dragon God's sorrowful voice echoed. He finally found his daughter and this assured him. 'Now, my daughter wouldn't be in danger anymore..'
Then the Dragon God started blurting out incoherent words. Hazuki couldn't understand the words but suddenly, he felt the beautiful woman laying on the ground move.
Her eyelashes were fluttering as if on the verge of awakening.
A few seconds later, the woman woke up completely. She raised her upper body and observed her surroundings.
"W-where..?! Father, where are you..?!" The woman shouted.
"I am no longer alive, Lan'er. What you are conversing with right now is only a remnant of my soul. I am very glad that I was able to see you again before I dissipate.." The Dragon God said with a sigh. He was now ready to pass away since his life-long wish was already accomplished.
The woman covered her mouth and tears dripped from her eyes. "No way... How could this be.. Father is a True God.." she said in disbelief.
The Dragon God once again sighed as he said. "There is no absolute in this world, Lan'er. Even Creation God's fell due to the Myriad Tribulations Poison released by the Evil Infant. The era of the gods has already ended. You are the sole god existing within Primal Chaos."
"I am somewhat glad that you got sealed in that sword and avoided that Calamity.." he added.
The woman appeared shocked. "What?! All the gods have already met their demise?! How could that be! Even the Goddess of life, Li Suo, could do anything about that poison?!"
"The Goddess of Life Li Suo died even before Evil Infant rampaged. That's why the gods weren't able to escape that fate." Then the Dragon God narrated the whole story about what happened while she was gone.
After a few minutes later, the explanations were done and Lan'er couldn't believe what she heard. "That can't be.."
Lan'er cried due to the loneliness she feels. Without her family and friends, what is the point of continuing to live?! She tried to kill herself but the Dragon God stopped her.
"Don't ever think about committing suicide! You have to be strong since you are a Dragon God!" the Dragon God reprimanded.
"And your life isn't yours alone now. You still have to continue to live and repay him, who rescued you from that endless darkness and Loneliness!" he added.
Lan'er looked at Hazuki and apologized to her father. "I'm sorry.."
She thought; my father has a point, I should be grateful for being alive and repay the debt of saving me from that darkness!
Then the Dragon God addressed Hazuki. "What request do I need to fulfill, Young Benefactor?"
Hazuki brought out a palm-sized crystal ball. He raised it and said. "You have to enter this and let a friend of mine take the Dragon God's trial. Also, you need to reside inside his soul for quite a while, until he achieved his goal."
"This can also benefit you since his soul realm can nourish yours slowly, allowing your remnant soul to grow and you might even restore your half of your soul." Hazuki added.
The Dragon God and Lan'er was shocked.
"Is that true?! Then I agree! Thank you for helping us, father and daughter." The Dragon God muttered. If his soul can really be nourished, then he might be able to strengthen his soul and remain beside his daughter.
Lan'er looked at Hazuki with gratitude. "Thank you, Benefactor, for helping us." Not only did Hazuki allow her to reunite with his father's remnant soul, but he was also helping his father to restore his soul.
"Long Lan of the Dragon Race, swears to serve master for as long as he lives!" Lan'er swore.
Then the Dragon God relocated himself to the Demon spirit stone.
Hazuki then said towards Lan'er. "You can keep that form, you don't have to come back to the Sword. Just conceal your True God's aura."
Hazuki and Long Lan came outside of the cave and observed his surroundings. 'We should get out of here now. The beasts are going out of the wastelands because of her presence..'
Then he manifested Rinne-Sharingan then created a Portal. He created a portal towards the aura of the sword Jasmine gave him.
Hazuki stepped inside the Portal followed by Long Lan.
As they exited the Portal, what greeted them was a very big city with a bustling community.
Hazuki looked around and saw that he was in front of a structure named 'Divine Treasure's Pavilion'.
'So this is the origin of that sword, huh..' Hazuki looked around then he slowly walked away aimlessly. Long Lan followed behind him while also observing the surroundings.
It had been millions of years since she last saw the outside worlds after all.
The surrounding people all stared at Long Lan. She was a very beautiful woman after all and she attracted everyone's attention.
Hazuki suddenly came inside a shop called. 'Sky Artifacts Pagoda.'
There were many kinds of artifacts put on display in every corner of the structure. Many people were entering the place and it must be the most crowded shop around.
As soon as they entered the Pagoda, a middle-aged man with the Pagoda's uniform approached them. "Good Afternoon, Young master and Young miss. What kind of artifact or things are you looking for?"
Then the middle-aged man led them inside.
As they entered the Hall, Hazuki asked the middle-aged man. "Mr., do you have any item that originated from the Flame God Realm? I urgently need something from that place, anything will do."
The middle-aged man ruminated for a few seconds before he raised his head up and nodded. "Yes, goods from the Flame God Realm actually came just yesterday." then he led Hazuki towards the right side of the hall.
As soon as they turned to the right, they were greeted by many kinds of items. But each of them had a similarity, all of them had a color red on their structure.
"Here are the artifacts that came from the Flame God Realm. Does Young Master want to purchase?" The middle-aged man asked.
Hazuki didn't reply and held the nearest artifact to him. It was a necklace with a phoenix-shaped pendant.
As he held the item, Hazuki familiarized himself with its aura. After that, he placed down the necklace and started walking away.
But before he could pass by the middle-age man, Hazuki summoned the sword given by Jasmine then handed it to him.
"Take this as compensation for your time. Long Lan, let's go." Then he walked out of the place and entered a secluded alley.
The middle-aged man was bewildered by Hazuki's actions. 'He just touched it..?' Then he stared at the sword within his arms.
He searched around the sword and found the characters, 'Divine Treasures Pavilion', at the sword's guard.
He was shocked. 'He gave me an item from that place just to compensate for my time?! I met really met a Young Master this time!' he thought as he hugged the sword, like some supreme treasure.
While the middle-aged man was daydreaming, Hazuki and Long Lan already entered the alley.
Then Hazuki created a portal towards the aura of the Flame God Realm. Long Lan followed after him quietly, without asking anything.
As soon as Hazuki exited the portal, he immediately noticed the building that was in front of them.
'This should be that manufacturing place of that necklace..' Hazuki thought.
As soon as the people around noticed Long Lan, they immediately caused a ruckus.
"Hey, look at that beautiful woman!" "Yeah! She looks like a fairy!" "If I can spend a night with her, then I'm willing to part with 100 years of my life!" The men around muttered to themselves.
Well, Hazuki's appearance was also noticed by the 'masculine' women around.
The environment in the Flame God realm is rich with Yang aura, causing the majority of the women of this realm to have a masculine appearance.
The 'masculine' catcalled Hazuki, but the latter just ignored them and walked away with Long Lan.
The men around the place jeered at the women. "With your appearances, it would be a miracle if someone wants to spend their time with you!"
The women were immediately enraged and fought back with their sneers. "Heh, look at yourself! No woman would ever want to talk with you because of your horse-like face!"
The verbal battle continued for as long as humanity existed..
Hazuki walked around the place and saw a Young Man with a rather kind-looking appearance. He was followed by many other young men with the same uniform as him.
'They should be from a sect around here..' Then Hazuki approached the Young Man.
"Uhm, excuse me. May I ask the location of the Vermilion Bird sect and Phoenix Sect?" Hazuki straightforwardly said.
The Young Man looked at Hazuki, then noticed the woman behind him. 'Wow... She's beautiful..' then averted his eyes because he felt what he is doing was rude.
"We are from the Phoenix Sect, Brother. Do you want to join our sect? You still have to wait for next year's disciple recruitment test since the test ended just a week ago." He replied to Hazuki's question.
Hazuki's eyes lit up as he heard their words. "No, Brother, you misunderstood me. I want to visit a relative there that's why I am asking for its direction."
"Really? My bad then. The Vermilion Bird's Sect, it's there, in the western part of the City. You can ask the residents of that area where it was located." he added.
Hazuki cupped his hands and thanked the Young Man. "Thank you for the information, Brother."
"You're welcome." The Young Man also cupped his hands in return,
Then Yun Che walked towards the Vermilion Bird sect's location.
A few minutes later, Hazuki and Long Lan arrived in front of a large gate with wooden signage atop of it with the characters 'Vermillion Bird Sect.'
"Long Lan, how strong are you currently?" Hazuki asked. Since Long Lan has just awakened from her slumber, she was still quite weakened.
"Maybe around level 1 or 2 Divine Extinction.." Long Lan replied.
Hazuki smirked then whispered his plans to Long Lan.
Long Lan smiled as she said towards Hazuki. "Master, you're bad at manipulating people.."
Then she flew upwards and came atop the Phoenix sect's ground. Long Lan then released the aura of a divine master as she shouted. "Sect Master of the Vermilion Bird Sect, get out!"
The whole city trembled at her shout and the surrounding disciples were very terrified by her aura.
They fled in all directions while shouting in panic.
Suddenly, multiple figures rushed out from the central area of the sect. They levitated just below Long Lan to show their respect for her.
The leading figure, which should be their sect master, cupped his hands and bowed towards Long Lan. "Greetings, Senior! I am Yan Wancang, May I ask the purpose of your visit to our Vermilion Bird sect?" he said with the most subservient tone he has.
This was a Divine Master! Everyone who could become a Divine Master is a peerless figure!
Long Lan looked at them from above then said. "Give me a copy of your [Vermilion Bird's Consoling Spirit Song.] my disciple said 'he' wants to cultivate fire arts. And as far as I know, the Vermilion Bird is the head of the three supreme fire attribute beasts."
Yan Wancang was shocked. How could a disciple of a respected Divine Master be interested in our bloodline art?! But since the respected Divine Master asked for it, we could only comply.
"Yes, we will bring it right away!" Yan Wancang said as he ordered one of his elders to retrieve a copy of the [Vermilion Bird's Consoling Spirit Song].
A few minutes later, the elder came back carrying a book containing the [Vermilion Bird's Consoling Spirit Song.]
The elder gave the scroll towards his Sect Leader.
Yan Wancang of the Vermilion Bird's Sect immediately proposed a copy of their bloodline art towards Long Lan. "Senior here is our Bloodline art! But I must inform senior that this art of ours is incomplete!" he said.
Their Bloodline art was incomplete that's the reason why they are declining in strength. If their Bloodline art was complete, then they can definitely ascend to an even higher position!
Their position was the most prestigious in the Flame God Realm since the Vermilion Bird was the most respected figure among the three supreme fire attribute beasts!
Long Lan was troubled by what Yan Wancang said. "Then where is the complete version?! Are you expecting my disciple to cultivate an incomplete art?!" She shouted.
The Vermilion Bird Sect's upper echelon trembled in fear in front of Long Lan.
Yan Wancang Cupped his hands towards Long Lan and apologized. "I apologize, Senior! We may not have the incomplete art, but I know where it is!"
Long Lan's eyes lit up as she immediately asked. "Then, where is it?!"
"Replying to Senior! According to an ancient record from our ancestors, there should be a trial grounds at the bottom of the God Burying Inferno Prison! If Senior wants, I can even lead you at the entrance of the place. But that's all we can do since we don't have the ability to last in the God Burying Inferno Prison!" Yan Wancang replied.
This is all that he can do to appease this senior. If she became enraged and decided to wreak havoc, then no one in the Flame God Realm would be able to resist!
"Good! Lead the way immediately!" Long Lan said.
Hazuki immediately flew towards Long Lan then said with an excited face. "Master, did you find a suitable fire art for me?!"
Yan Wancang and the sect elders stared at Hazuki with irritation. 'This brat! If not for you then we wouldn't have been in this situation!'
Then Yan Wancang, himself, led Hazuki and Long Lan towards the God Burying Inferno Prison.
