After returning to Zhu Gate.

It should be quite interesting.

They think that losing the Power of God and Mortality is tantamount to becoming a useless person.

Little do they know, I’ve become a Dragon Shepherd, and it won’t be long, perhaps even stronger than before!

“Senior brother, rest early, don’t make Sister Lingsha worry,” Zi Miaozhu said with a smile before turning to leave.

“Really, I have a pure relationship with her,” Minglang explained. “I’m not hiding anything from you, Junior Sister. She is Li Yunzi’s twin sister. One took the father’s surname, and the other took the mother’s, that’s all.”

“Oh, I see,” Zi Miaozhu nodded earnestly, then said, “But still, Senior Brother, the way you look at her is ultimately different, isn’t it?”

“Is it?” Minglang raised an eyebrow.

“Since they are twin sisters, when you look at the younger sister, it’s different from looking at the older sister, right? If you have feelings for one of them, as long as you’re normal, there will be ripples in your heart, and your eyes will unconsciously reveal them,” Zi Miaozhu said.

Probably knowing her senior brother Minglang too well, when his gaze fell on herself, she had never seen such emotions in him.

Therefore, Zi Miaozhu always felt that there was a deep relationship between Minglang and Nan Lingsha.

Minglang scratched his head awkwardly. Was it that obvious?

Indeed, many times when Minglang stared, he subconsciously thought it was Li Yunzi, and he would experience a brief stupor. But afterward, he would remind himself that this was not her, it was her sister Nan Lingsha, and then he would force himself to be calm and collected…

But this process already showed clear turmoil within his heart.

“Senior brother doesn’t need to blush; it’s a natural response. If there wasn’t a bit of emotion, it would mean Senior brother didn’t genuinely care for Li Yunzi…” Zi Miaozhu said.

Minglang nodded.

She really was his good Junior Sister, easing the guilt that had just begun to form in his heart, and making him feel a great deal more comfortable.

“Besides, Nan Lingsha is so pretty, even I, as a girl, find myself moved. It’s perfectly normal for Senior brother to be enamored with her beauty,” she added.

They didn’t stay at the Yaoshan Sword Sect for too long, Minglang, Lingsha, and Fang Niannian quickly took their leave.

The main reason was that Minglang worried the old masters at the Sword Sect would come to reprimand him, asking where on earth he had put their swords. Even if the swords were abandoned, they were still the treasures of the Sword Sect!

Better slip away before they found out.

Originally, Minglang thought about heading to the highest peak to say goodbye to Zhu Xuehen, but after careful consideration, he decided she probably didn’t want to see him and thus dropped the idea.

“Minglang, is that grandpa of yours the strongest in the Yaoshan Sword Sect?” Fang Niannian asked curiously.

“He used to be in the top three, but he’s quite old now, mostly focused on teaching his disciples. My aunt is one of his disciples,” Minglang said.

“How powerful is this Aunt Xuehen really? I heard some male disciples discussing her while I was at the Sword Sect… Why, although she looks young, do they all address her as a respected teacher?” Fang Niannian inquired.

“It depends on what you compare. If you’re talking about Cultivation Base, she’s probably at the Peak Monarch Level. Among the Four Major Sect Clans, she is rather exceptional. But her sword and her Sword Territory are actually more terrifying than her Cultivation Base. In a life and death struggle, no one below the King Level could possibly be her opponent, not even a group of Peak Monarch Level Divine and Mortal beings,” Minglang explained.

In the Sect Woods, the distinction in seniority was clear and simple.

Master, martial uncle, disciple.

Generally speaking, in a Great Sect Woods like the Yaoshan Sword Sect, the disciples’ Cultivation Base ranged from Sub-level to Lord Level.

Disciples at the Lord Level were often exceptional, like Zi Miaozhu, who as the Chief Female Disciple of the Holy Hall was at the Higher-Rank or Peak King Level in Cultivation Base.

And martial uncles would have Cultivation Bases ranging from Lord Level to Monarch Level, with the more ordinary ones possibly only at the Lower-level Sovereign.

The excellent ones reached Monarch Level, and the extraordinary ones were mostly at the High Rank King Level or Peak Monarch Level.

The Cultivation Base of a master was at least at the Peak Monarch Level.

But anyone sealed as a master often has some power that surpasses their Cultivation Base.

Just like Big Black Tooth, whose own Cultivation Base was no more than a Lower-level Dragon General. Yet with the Thunder Scales, Fierce Courage Bloodline, and Silver Green Heavy Armor, it could stand undefeated below the Lord Level!

So whether it is Divine and Mortal beings or Dragon Shepherds, Cultivation Base is just a measuring stick. Each Cultivator, each dragon, has its own

winning formula.

“If Sister Zi Miaozhu is the chief disciple of the Yaoshan Sword Sect, and Sister

Lingsha has beaten her, doesn’t that mean that among the powers of the Supreme Court Continent, there aren’t many disciples who can match Sister Lingsha?” Fang Niannian continued to ask.

Minglang couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this.

Disciples?

They couldn’t possibly remain just at the disciple level. After all, disciples are generally younger, with elders above them to take care of any troubles. They wouldn’t have to hold up the sky even if it fell.

But Minglang, Li Yunzi, and Nan Lingsha were rulers and governors of the Li

Chuan Continent, facing threats from the entire Supreme Court Continent. Who would care if you were a disciple or not, a martial uncle or not?

Moreover, some of the nations in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent might not even be as large as the current Ancestral Dragon City, nor as fertile as the lands of Li Chuan.

Nan Lingsha and Li Yunzi were equivalent to the strongest in a nation, with the highest cultivation, strength, and resources. It was no surprise to Zhu Minglang when they outclassed all the so-called genius disciples from various powers.

Furthermore, most of these disciples were coddled and nurtured within the Sect Forest Family Door, like Zi Miaozhu, the head sister, who probably rarely ventured outside the sect’s gate and focused on her intensive training.

Yet Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha, at such a young age, had managed to rule half of the Li Chuan City-State with their own strength and wisdom.

Therefore, the emergence of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, with its even vaster lands, might not necessarily be a bad thing for them.

Their growth rate could be even faster.

The world had simply become bigger.

It didn’t mean they were weak.

Zhu Minglang vividly remembered the severely wounded Li Yunzi, who still displayed Higher-Rank strength, slaughtering those four formidable foes.

Once healed, she seemed to others to have remained at the Sovereign level, but in fact, she had already stepped into the Monarch level. Originally, her next plan would have been to flatten the Sect Palace, only to find it destroyed by the Orderer of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

As for Nan Lingsha, even the Elder Sword Sovereign had said that her realm fluctuated uncertainly around the Monarch level.

This realm referred to her cultivation level, not her true strength.

So, even now, Zhu Minglang had not figured out exactly in which realm Nan Lingsha was situated.

It seemed that after ruling the Ancestral Dragon City, the sisters’ strength had both become unfathomable. Could it be that those subjugators actually had some resources which were previously beyond Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha’s reach?

After unification, they obtained them, and their strength soared!

Most likely, they were extraordinary items similar to Yinsu Sacred Dew. Perhaps, there was also some secret realm within the Li Family.

The journey was indeed long. The Divine Green Holy Dragon grew each day, and its flying speed noticeably increased.

Yet, after flying over a range of mountains, there stood taller mountains, and beyond a city-state lay even vaster territories.

Along the way, they encountered countless Sect Forests and factions, all of them peculiar and divine.

They also saw entire nations revolving around dragons and Dragon Trainers.

The vastness of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent was such that even after a month of uninterrupted flight, they seemed to have not yet seen the borders of the Supreme Court Empire.

While hurrying on their way and practicing their cultivation, despite the rush, the three of them also appreciated the distinctive customs and scenery of many city-states and lands on this Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

If they could successfully claim their territorial rights and bring order to the Ancestral Dragon City, it would truly be worthwhile to travel and explore the various countries and lands on the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

Famed mountains and rivers, forbidding forests and forbidden lands, cities of fire and wind, Dragon Valleys and Holy Lakes, Flower Kingdom and Snow Town, Salt Sea heaven…

After half a month, the Supreme Court Imperial City finally emerged on the horizon. It was noon, and the summer sun blazed down upon the earth, and amongst the Silver Stream Purple Mountains, a series of majestic cities stretched out along the terrain, hills, rivers, and lakes.

The grand and majestic capital seemed to merge perfectly with the vast and boundless land. From high above, one could only see a tip of the iceberg of the Imperial City.

And yet, that tip was as large as several city-states.

The cities were orderly distributed, ultimately converging on a flat expanse of bronze land. There, clearly, the buildings were more splendid and towering, more dense and impressive. When observed from afar, it was like entering an ancient and sacred mystical kingdom—serene and solemn, enduring and hallowed!

Supreme Court Imperial City!

This was the residence of the ruling class of the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, with many Sect Forests, Family Doors, palaces, churches, and academies standing tall…

In the sky above the Imperial City, clusters of ancient bronze dragons circled.

More astonishingly, at the heart above, where the clouds soared, there was a floating cloud forest where dragons of purple, bronze, gold, and white flew back and forth between the cloud forests and the Imperial City’s buildings below.

The variety and the number of dragons there fully constituted a Cloud Dragon Country, which had defended the prosperity of the Supreme Court Imperial City for a thousand years!

“Cloud Dragon Country,” Nan Lingsha said, her eyes shining as she gazed at the huge and auspicious expanse of clouds.

In some of the tomes at the Dragon Taming Academy, Nan Lingsha had read about the legends of the dragon dwelling Cloud Country.

She had thought it was merely a legend.

Now, having witnessed the real Cloud Country, and moreover, right above the Supreme Court Imperial City, the sight was breathtaking. It was as if a wondrous new door had opened in her heart!

“The Cloud Dragon Country is the lifeblood of the Royal Family,” Zhu Minglang spoke.

Every time he saw it, he was overwhelmed by the sight. Zhu Minglang suddenly realized that even if he, as a Sword Cultivator, had ever reached the pinnacle, it seemed he had never touched the Cloud Dragon Country…

And he wondered if this time, he might have the chance.

The Cloud Dragon Country was a mystical realm that Zhu Minglang had longed since childhood to disturb…. to behold!
