The trapped dragon emerges from the sea, soaring straight up to ninety thousand feet, surveying the world beneath with disdain.

"Ahhhhh～～～"

Jiang Yuebai clung to the dragon’s mane, shouting out loud, startled by the speed of the Winged Dragon’s wild flight, the wind distorting her face.

Yet this sense of soaring through the sky, unfettered, was truly exhilarating.

Roar!!

The Winged Dragon burst through the Abyss of the Trapped Dragon, returning triumphantly to the azure sky over the blue sea, filled with pride, unleashing a dragon’s roar.

At this moment, under this heaven and earth, none dared to challenge it!

Roar Roar Roar!!

The Winged Dragon roars over the sea, commanding submission from all sides.

Under the entire sea region, all members of the Water Clan surfaced, responding to the King of the North Sea with their own calls.

Jiang Yuebai lay on the dragon’s head, covering her face with messy hair, leaving only her eyes exposed. She saw the colossal Primordial Demonic Dragon, as large as an island, revealing its coral-covered back from the depths of the sea.

Mmm—

More and more sea dominators emerged from the water, thousands and tens of thousands in sight. Such a magnificent scene left Jiang Yuebai’s heart trembling.

"Does the North Sea have so many high-level demon beasts? These guys are really good at hiding!"

The dragon’s head raised high, looking quite proud.

Rumble!

Dark clouds rolled in from the high sky, brewing terrifying thunder.

The Winged Dragon spread its wings, racing towards the inner sea with Jiang Yuebai.

Before long, Jiang Yuebai saw a crescent-shaped archipelago appear on the sea, her eyes lighting up.

"Star Shattering Islands, let me down, I’ll go over myself."

Roar～～

The dragon roar echoed as it suddenly accelerated towards the Star Shattering Islands.

"Hey hey hey, slow down ahhhh～～～"

At that time, the people on the Star Shattering Islands heard the dragon’s roar and were cheerfully discussing whether the Water Python in the Dragon Palace was about to undergo Divinity Transformation.

As they looked up, they saw a ferocious white dragon with double wings rushing towards them, faster than thunder, scaring them to soul vanish, scattering like birds and beasts.

"Heavens, the dragon is coming, run!!"

"Presumptuous!!"

A stern shout rang out, and the great array on the island lit up. A female cultivator in plain clothes emerged, striking with a giant array plate’s shadow.

The Winged Dragon dismissively exhaled, casually swinging its dragon claw.

The dragon’s might shook the heavens, making Zhao Fuyi tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Hold on!"

A clear shout, and the dragon claw barely stopped in front of the array plate’s shadow.

Zhao Fuyi was stunned upon hearing this voice. Jiang Yuebai leaned out from behind the dragon horn, grinning cheekily.

"True Monarch Fuyi, don’t attack, it’s me."

When Zhao Fuyi saw Jiang Yuebai, her eyes widened in shock, looking at the dragon and then at her in disbelief.

Even Zhao Fuyi, who had experienced the Netherworld Sea Ghost Tide, was dumbfounded at this moment.

A little girl at Peak Foundation Establishment, though almost thirty, in Zhao Fuyi’s eyes still a little girl, that’s not the point.

The point was, what was she doing? Dragon Taming? A Winged Dragon supposedly extinct, on the verge of Divinity Transformation?

And she told it to stop, and the Winged Dragon really stopped?

With the Tribulation Thunder still chasing overhead, Jiang Yuebai couldn’t care to explain to True Monarch Fuyi and the others below who almost acted like True Monarch Lingjun and the Golden Core Masters like Li Shen Zhi.

She tugged at the dragon’s ear and said to the Winged Dragon, "In our chance meeting, I’ll give you a word of advice: a hemp rope breaks at its thinnest point, a persimmon is picked when it’s soft. People are like this, and so is the Heavenly Dao. As long as you have the courage to shake the heavens, the one to back down in the end will definitely be the Heavenly Dao. You must succeed in your Divinity Transformation, you must!"

Roar!!

The dragon roar made Zhao Fuyi retreat, but Jiang Yuebai remained fearless, jumping down from the Winged Dragon’s head.

The Winged Dragon’s head lowered slightly, gently approaching Jiang Yuebai, sincere gratitude in its eyes.

The Winged Dragon hated the Human Clan, but Jiang Yuebai carried Demon Clan bloodline, which made the Winged Dragon feel a kinship, not considering her as a human.

Jiang Yuebai patted the dragon’s nose, "Go on, I believe you can do it!"

The Winged Dragon nodded, charging away with the dark clouds filling the sky.

Jiang Yuebai watched it disappear into the horizon, then turned to find Zhao Fuyi staring at her in a daze. Jiang Yuebai quickly covered her head with both hands, then remembered that there was only a Lingzhi root left, buried in her hair, indistinguishable.

She had also absorbed the Winged Dragon’s aura, enough to confuse perception.

"You really have a grand karma," Zhao Fuyi sighed.

Jiang Yuebai feigned innocence with a smile. Of course, she knew about karma. She saved the Winged Dragon, and its future misdeeds would partly be on her, but so would the merit.

But one couldn’t let karma bind them from doing what needed to be done, and besides, in that situation, if she didn’t help the Winged Dragon, she couldn’t break the deadlock.

It was only getting struck by lightning. What was there to fear?

Zhao Fuyi shook her head in exasperation, pulling out a green hairband engraved with runes, handing it to Jiang Yuebai.

"Fix your hair, you don’t have the appearance of an Immortal Sect disciple at all. The rune array on this hairband can conceal your aura."

Jiang Yuebai accepted it with both hands, "Respectfully accepting, thank you. Oh, I heard dragon scales are great for resisting heavenly tribulations, here you go."

Jiang Yuebai took out ten dragon scales, packed them into a storage bag, and offered it with both hands.

Zhao Fuyi’s pupils trembled slightly. She usually never accepted things from juniors, but these dragon scales... she could indeed use them.

Cough～

Zhao Fuyi awkwardly accepted the storage bag, somewhat embarrassed, stuffing it into her sleeve, strategically turning her head to survey the surroundings.

"This dragon’s Divinity Transformation will surely stir up all sides; soon, a large number of cultivators will rush to the outer sea. If it succeeds in its transformation, all will be well; if it fails..."

"Don’t let anyone know about you and that dragon. I’ll warn the disciples below, but it’s hard to keep mouths shut. Weigh it yourself."

After speaking, Zhao Fuyi personally opened the Seven Stars Great Array below, sealing the entire archipelago tightly, to withstand the impending storm.

"In the depths of the outer sea, there’s the Winged Dragon’s Divinity Transformation. Until the heavenly tribulation is over, no one is to leave the island. What you saw just now must not be leaked, or don’t blame my lack of mercy!"

Jiang Yuebai re-tied her hair, indeed seeing many tunnel lights heading from the inner sea towards the direction of the Winged Dragon.

For this, Jiang Yuebai was powerless, only hoping that the silly dragon would prove its mettle. If it succeeded in its transformation, reaching the upper realm and finding other Dragon Clans, becoming a Dragon King wouldn’t be an issue.

Zhao Fuyi brought Jiang Yuebai to the island, then returned to continue her closed-door cultivation. She had been shaken by the dragon’s might earlier, subtly touching the Divinity Transformation Barrier.

If not careful, she might undergo Divinity Transformation early; Jiang Yuebai’s dragon scales arrived just in time.

Once Zhao Fuyi left, two figures appeared beside Jiang Yuebai instantly, Li Shen Zhi on the left and Muh Wushuang on the right.

"Nephew Jiang truly is exceptional, even capable of taming dragons. Want to come over for a chat and some tea at my place?"

"You’ve really made us proud, riding a dragon back. I’ve never been so impressive in my life. Could you talk to the dragon and let me take a ride as well?"

Tang Weimian and Hee Wangchen, carrying a wooden basin, also ran over to her.

"Little Bai, you’re really amazing. How did you become friends with the dragon?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, please tell me everything from when you first met the dragon. I’m dying of curiosity."

Surrounded by the four, from afar, True Monarch Lingjun looked at her with admiration and nodded.

The other Golden Core Masters appeared curious but maintained their demeanor, embarrassed to come near, just watching as more disciples from the Heavenly Gang Peak ran out, chattering around Jiang Yuebai.

"Senior Sister Jiang, wasn’t there a Water Python in the Dragon Palace? How did it become a Winged Dragon?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, what does it feel like to ride a dragon?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, is the Winged Dragon male or female?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, does a dragon sleep curled up like a mosquito coil, or does it lay long?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, what if a dragon’s claws can’t reach its back to scratch an itch?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, does the dragon poop?"

Jiang Yuebai, overwhelmed by the buzzing questions, hastily interrupted the increasingly outlandish queries.

"Alright, stop asking. I almost got eaten by the dragon, barely escaping with my life. I’m going back to Eight Diagram Island, don’t follow me, I need to retreat and calm down."

Jiang Yuebai squeezed through the crowd, dashing away.

"Truly worthy of Senior Sister Jiang, even her escape was full of immortal grace."

Jiang Yuebai:......
