A distance away from the Dragon God's Legacy, Yun Che wore a worried look on his face.
He stood on a three-branched tree and used his skill to look far ahead, directly at the cave of the Dragon God's Legacy and the two flood-dragons that slept just above it. This was the reason he came here, and now he was nervous to enter it.
From his previous experience, he knew that the Ancestral Goddess was keeping tabs on him and was making sure he didn't deviate from her laid path.
If he did, she and the world would adjust themselves accordingly and re-correct everything back to normal.
He had personally experienced it. As such, he was afraid that if he entered the Dragon God's Trail with Yuechan, she would be inflicted by fate like she was in the original. This made him uncertain about further proceeding with her.
"What happened?"
Since he had given her the necklace, she seemed to be more open towards him.
Not that he hated it. It was a progression; why would he hate it?
But, for some reason, every time he looked into her eyes, he felt like she wanted to kidnap him.
This made him conscious of her and wondered if her character had collapsed or something.
He doubted such a thing would happen from only a single necklace, but it was still a possibility.
Shaking his head, he looked towards her.
Once again, he was left speechless by her beauty, causing him to curse Mars in his mind.
If one thing he was good at, then that was creating beautiful females.
Now that he was in this world, he could attest to that.
'And I still haven't seen her face...'
"How about... You stay here and I go ahead? It's quite dangerous ahead, and something might happen to you."
Hearing him, a displeased expression formed over her face, evident by her frowned brows.
"If I'm in danger, then you will be dead before you know it."
"..." Yun Che didn't know how to answer that.
Can a True Profound Realm survive if even a Half-Step Emperor Realm is in danger?
The answer was no!
The only way to stop her was to order her, which he fully knew wouldn't work.
In fact, she might even try to freeze him into a popsicle if he ordered her; which, of course, wouldn't have worked on him due to his resistances.
"Well, then use the necklace from here on out. Also, make sure not to make big movements." Finding her staring at him, he further explained, "The place where I am about to enter is guarded by two flood-dragons, each with a strength of Sky Profound Realm. If we are not hidden, both of us will die."
Yuechan's eyes widened in horror.
"Why do you want to enter that place then?"
"..." Yun Che remained silent. After a thoughtful look, he explained. "To get the True God Legacy."
This time, not only Yuechan, but even Jasmine had her eyes widened.
She had guessed that Yun Che was going for another legacy, but she didn't think it really was the case!
This made her think just how many legacies were present on this planet, and if Yun Che knew the places of all these legacies or not.
'At this point, this princess won't be surprised if he also knew the location of all Heretic God Seed...' How close to the truth she was.
Meanwhile, Yuechan felt her heart beating at an unhealthy pace.
Did she know about the True God Inheritance? Of course, she did!
In the Profound Sky Continent, who didn't know about the strongest sect—Divine Phoenix Sect?! And the fact that the Divine Phoenix Sect was the reason why they were the strongest because they inherited the bloodline of a True God, Phoenix!
Now she was told that they were going for the bloodline of a True God.
Of course, this would make her excited!
For a cultivator, strength was everything. If they knew the location of a True God Inheritance, they wouldn't mind betting their life in the hope of getting it.
At the same time, Yuechan felt a weird feeling in her heart when she looked towards Yun Che.
She knew how much the information regarding the True God Inheritance meant.
If this was made public, she wouldn't be surprised to find even Sacred Grounds involving themselves in this.
THAT much it meant to cultivators!
Yet, Yun Che not only shared this information with her, but he even brought her to the place of inheritance.
No matter how cold she was, she could feel the ice walls around her heart melting ever so slightly.
If before she was interested in Yun Che because of his medical talent and craftsmanship, now she seemed to have developed a slight feeling of companionship with him.
After an extended thought, she bit her soft lips and made up her mind.
"It's good. You go, and I'll follow you."
Now that he had shared such information with her, she was even more adamant about protecting him; not because of the deal but because she felt indebted to him now.
"..." Yun Che shook his head and returned his attention back towards the flood-dragons. "What the—!?"
A surprised expression appeared on his face as he stared wide-eyed at the flood-dragons circled around by five people, each with the strength of Sky Profound Realm. This wasn't how the plot was supposed to go!
"What happened?" Yuechan inquired. She wanted to ask how he could see so far when even she could not, and she was supposed to be the stronger one among them! But seeing the weirdness around him, she just attributed it to another of his quirks.
"... People are fighting with flood-dragons," Yun Che answered, confused. This only further made him worry. The moment something happened outside of the plot, that only meant that Fate-chan was up to something!
Yuechan also showed a surprised expression at Yun Che's answer. For people to fight with the two flood-dragons, that only meant that they were from the major sects!
"Well, this is good for us," suddenly, Yuechan said. "We can sneak in while they have their attention on them."
'When did she become so shameless?' Nodding, Yun Che said, "Let's go. And make sure to not make any excessive movement nor use your profound energy while in Invisibility. It will remove it."

.
In the past, one of their elders had gone into the Wasteland of Death and never returned.
The people of Heavenly Sword Villa had attributed it to his death at the hands of Profound Beasts.
After all, it was normal for people to die within the Wasteland of Death; it was not something new.
But the problem was that the elder had taken a Sky Profound Weapon with him! In Blue Wind Empire, where the highest weapon was of Sky Profound Realm, one could imagine its value.
So, to retrieve it, the Villa Master gathered the elders and sent them to the Wasteland of Death to search for the weapon.
The chances of finding one were low, but if they could, they at least wanted to try.
But who would have thought that while looking for the weapon, they would encounter two flood-dragons!
The moment Ling Wugou saw the flood-dragons, he knew these were the flood-dragons that ran away when his Villa Master was killing their son! Greed flashed within his eyes the next moment.
A Profound Core of a Sky Profound Realm flood-dragon was highly precious, and there might be only two in the whole Blue Wind Empire! Now given such an opportunity, he wasn't willing to miss it.
On their side, they had six elders each with strength ranging from the 6th to the 9th of Sky Profound Realm.
Ling Wugou thought that their strength would be enough to take care of them… he was highly mistaken!
The moment they initiated the attack, it didn't take even a minute for the two flood-dragons to overwhelm them with sheer strength! If things kept on advancing at this rate, they would die!
Gritting his teeth, he used his sword to defend against the claw of the dragon.
A loud "Om" resounded at the place of impact, and he was thrown away like a rocket, hitting the earth and bouncing on it like a ball! Stopping his momentum, he coughed blood out of his mouth.
Gritting his teeth, he looked up.
His eyes widened in horror as he found one of the flood-dragons gathering huge amounts of profound strength into his mouth. Without thinking twice, he used his blood essence!
Making a loud heroic shout, he used his sword to deflect the dense mass of profound energy towards his right. "Dammit…" he cursed. He had used all his strength just to deflect that attack. If this fight continued, they would die for sure!
"Ah! You blind, fucking old man!?"
Ling Wugou's eyes widened as he looked to his right, the entrance towards the cave, and saw a young man and a woman with a veil barely dodging the attack he deflected.
He looked confused for a second before an angry expression appeared over his face.
'Was this brat using us as a distraction!?'
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, the anger inside him burst out like a volcano.
He was about to attack them when his eyes landed on the visage of the woman beside the young man, and his eyes widened.
"Fairy Chu!?"
'What is she doing here? And that too with a man!'
He wasn't given enough time to think before a roar broke out from the sky.
"Disgusting humans! You dare to disturb Lord Dragon's sleep! I'll kill you!"
"Shit!" The young man cursed, finding the two flood-dragons, both looking towards him! "I fucking knew that this world was onto some kind of bullshit!"
Seeing two flood-dragons distracted by Yun Che and Yuechan, Ling Wugou gritted his teeth before muttering, "It's all your fault. You shouldn't have appeared here."
Then he sent a soul transmission to the other elders, telling them to retreat while the flood-dragons had their attention focused on Yun Che and Yuechan. He planned on using them as bait for their escape.
