Otherworldly-Cultivator

*Bam*

As she stomped her foot, Shou Xiang let out an angry scream towards the sky. "Damn it! I've followed him for so long, but he sent me away just like that! Who exactly is that guy? How could he know the origin of my race? How could he also know about Ancestor Tianxin?"

Shou Xiang then looked at the surrounding area, but she felt even more irritated after she found herself at the edge of the hot desert in the western region, so she put down her beast before riding it. "Let's go back, Lang! I want to meet with my father and our leader to discuss the man's identity with them."

"Howl!" Lang howled before sprinting away at its full speed, and the way the beast ran was like running through the air, but it also kept leaving a trail of lightning behind them.

After some time, they arrived in the middle of the desert, but a powerful sandstorm engulfed the area as a result of her clan's formation to keep them safe. Even so, it was meaningless to Shou Xiang, and she took out a device before activating it, which made a small hole in the sandstorm, so Lang immediately brought its master into it.

"Phew." Shou Xiang let out a sigh of relief after she saw the stretch of tents in the area, but the number of people living there was not too many—only around fifty people—and Lang took her to the largest tent. "Father! Leader!"

Hearing her shout, Shou Xun and a muscular man walked out of the tent. "What happened, Xiang? Why did you suddenly return?"

"Leader! I want to tell you a serious matter." Shou Xiang said as she jumped down from Lang's back, and she explained to them everything about Chen Li in as much detail as possible.

However, both men's expressions turned completely shocked after they heard the name Long Wang, which confused Shou Xiang, but Shou Xun then asked the muscular man. "Are you thinking about the same person as me, Shou Liang?"

"Yes." Shou Liang replied with a nod. "There is only one person who bears the name Long Wang, but he should have died after the coup d'etat a thousand years ago. However, that man seems to know our clan and ancestor very well, so there is a possibility that he is his reincarnation, and he might have already regained his past memories, or else he wouldn't possibly know about us."

Shou Xun released a soft sigh. "You are right; I also have the same thoughts as you because he is the one and only Long Wang."

"Wait a minute!" Shou Xiang shouted. "Father! Leader! Who exactly is the Long Wang you two are talking about? How did he know about us?"

The two men exchanged glances for a moment before leading Shou Xiang into the tent, and Shou Liang then informed his daughter. "The Long Wang we talked about was the late Emperor of the Five Divine Heavens, and he was the strongest mythical beast, the five-clawed golden dragon."

"What?" Shou Xiang let out a loud exclamation as she stared at them in disbelief, especially since she knew about Emperor Long and the Five Divine Heavens from stories in their clan. "Are you guys serious about that? I know that reincarnation is real, but I find it hard to believe that he is the reincarnation of such a powerful cultivator."

"Your father didn't lie to you, Xiang'er." Shou Xun said this while shaking his head. "No one in this universe dares to use the name Long Wang, especially since that name was used by one person and all his reincarnations for billions of years, and all of them were powerful figures."

"Billions of years?" Shou Xiang was even more shocked when she heard that.

"That's right." Shou Xuan nodded to her. "Ancestor Tianxian had a deep relationship with Emperor Long before he became the Emperor, and the two of them were like brothers. Even after he ascended the throne, their relationship never changed, and our ancestor stayed by his side as one of his loyal followers, so he knew quite a lot about his past. According to our ancestor's story, he had been reincarnated many times over billions of years, and he always used the name Long Wang, so it's natural that guy knows about us and our ancestor because he is his reincarnation."

Shou Liang then added. "Since that guy is the reincarnation of Emperor Long, I have a guess that the female mythical beast in that residence is the reborn Empress Feng, especially since she is the only one who can produce a crimson phenomenon because she is the only fire phoenix with crimson flames, and the phenomenon occurred because of the birth of their children."

Shou Xiang felt dizzy after listening to their words, but she still found it hard to believe that Chen Li was the reincarnation of Emperor Long, let alone that his wife was also a respected figure in the Five Divine Heavens.

Shou Xun then patted Shou Xiang's shoulder. "I want you to return to that sect, but you no longer need to look for information about them because we are sure about our guess. Besides, we are the direct descendants of Ancestor Tianxian, and our beast tamer race is a loyal follower of Emperor Long, so I want you to stay by his side as his follower."

"Huh?" Shou Xiang looked at Shou Xun as her eyes blinked repeatedly.

"Haha." Shou Liang laughed at his daughter's expression, and he also said to her. "Xiang'er, to become a loyal follower of Emperor Long is an honor for us, so you don't need to feel reluctant about becoming one. Moreover, our race was able to become one of the strongest in the Five Divine Heavens thanks to him; even Ancestor Tianxian would never hesitate to sacrifice his life for him."

Shou Xiang took a deep breath and nodded to them. "Anyway, Long Wang guessed that something bad had happened to Ancestor Tianxian, and he also guessed that he was the one who sent our race out of that place."

Both men released heavy sighs after they heard that, and Shou Xun explained it to her. "After the coup d'etat a thousand years ago ended, Ancestor Tianxian was severely injured by the attacks of those rebels, and he used the last of his strength to send all his descendants away from that place, as he was afraid that they would enslave or massacre us. Since then, our race has split into several groups and spread across the universe to hide. Although we don't know about the condition of our ancestor, I'm sure that he's still alive now because his physical strength and endurance are extraordinary, and they probably imprisoned him along with Emperor Long's surviving followers."

"In that case, I will return to the Blue Moon Sect now, but I don't know if he will allow me to stay by his side, especially since I previously tried to capture one of his wives." Suddenly, Shou Xiang remembered something and told them. "You guys should contact Shou Huang, especially since he is trying to get close to Di Jing, and her clan has a close relationship with Long Wang, so you have to stop him, or else he will kill him."

"All right, I will contact him, and you can return now." After Shou Xiang left, Shou Xun contacted Shou Huang and ordered him to stop approaching Di Jing, but he refused his order. "It seems that brat has an interest in that girl from the Di Clan; he even dared to refuse my orders."

"Haha." Instead, Shou Liang laughed after hearing that. "Brother Xun, that brat isn't bad, and he's smart enough to read the situation around him, so I think it's fine if he approaches that girl. However, you still have to warn him not to have any bad intentions towards her, or Emperor Long will really kill him."

"Yeah." Shou Xun nodded in agreement and informed Shou Hang again, and he then looked outside as he spoke. "Emperor Long has reincarnated, so we should start preparing ourselves from now on, and we will return to the Five Divine Heavens at the same time he returns there."

"Back then, many members of our race died at the hands of those rebels, and we even had to flee our ancestral land to escape from them." Shou Liang then asked him. "Should we inform the members of our race scattered in other realms about Emperor Long's return?"

"No." Shou Xun immediately rejected his idea. "As Xiang'er said before, Emperor Long's cultivation is still at the 9th Stage Soul Realm, so he is still too weak now. I'm afraid that our communications will be hijacked by them, and they will rush into this realm to kill him, so we will wait until he is really strong before telling our people. Moreover, we still have some problems, and we still have to clean up those heretics."

"What if we attack them head-on?" Shou Liang asked while turning to him. "After all, our cultivation is far above theirs, and we can destroy that heretical sect without breaking a sweat."

"We don't need to go to them, and we just need to kill every one of them who dares to come into our area." Shou Xuan then walked out of the tent. "Let's go; we have to increase their training, so they will be ready when we return to that realm in the future."
