Chapter 1162 - Chapter 1162 Chapter 1027 The Funeral in the Sky (Part 2)

Chapter 1162: Chapter 1027: The Funeral in the Sky (Part 2) Chapter 1162: Chapter 1027: The Funeral in the Sky (Part 2) The azure expanse of the Long Sky stretched endlessly. The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon relentlessly shattered the resistance of the air, soaring towards a more towering and profound firmament. Its flesh wings showed no hint of pause, and its eyes were filled with a passion for the unknown reaches of high altitude, along with an unwavering determination to challenge the Triple Heaven!

It climbed higher and higher, with the ocean shrinking to a small patch of blue beneath it. The dragon’s blood burned with ardor and its fighting spirit was high, yet the further it flew from the Continent, the more fatigued its heart became.

Its mind was an empty void; it did not know where it came from, and yet it always felt compelled to reach a certain place.

But it had forgotten everything, forgotten all of the past centuries, forgotten where its clansmen were, forgotten which direction lay the Dragon Abyss of its dreams that it so fervently longed for in its sleep…

It tried searching for it from the west of Henghai Ocean, but the Prison Island God told it that the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss lay in the completely opposite direction.

It knew its soul had aged too much to sustain its body on another interminably long journey, so it chose this way to return to its homeland’s sky, because the winds in the Second Layer of Heaven were said to blow towards the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss.

Gradually, the sky was no longer azure. It slowly descended into darkness, where not even the sunshine could restore the light like that of the Continent, like nature itself…

The darkness came with a biting cold. The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon felt the flow of its blood slowing down. Its scale armor seemed frostbitten, its wings’ bones stiff and heavy, making flight increasingly difficult.

“Huff huff huff huff~~~~~~”

The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon heaved with heavy breaths. It had not long reached the Second Layer, yet it was already this weary, making it feel shame. It believed it had to at least catch a glimpse of the Third Heaven before it was entitled to stop flying.

…

On the ocean’s surface, the Prison Island God washed the blood from its body with seawater, occasionally glancing up towards the high sky.

The Little Hiding Dragon fluttered its wings shyly and guiltily at its side.

The Prison Island God looked at this innocent little one, sighed like an elder, hesitated for a moment, and then decided it would be better to tell the Little Hiding Dragon the truth.

Every creature’s growth must accompany death, and for this sky burial, the Prison Island God felt it was necessary for the Little Hiding Dragon to attend, so that the next generation would understand the value of life!

The Mental Sound of the Prison Island God echoed in the Little Hiding Dragon’s mind. It looked blankly at the Prison Island God, until the moment the God revealed its mother was flying towards death, then the Little Hiding Dragon woke up as if struck by lightning!

“Woooooo!!!!!!!!!”

The Little Hiding Dragon lifted its head and let out a roar to the skies!

With a sudden burst, its wings opened wide and the Little Hiding Dragon rose into the air, breaking through all the clouds before it, following the trail of the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon!!

The Little Hiding Dragon flew faster than the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, surrounded by numerous spirits. These spirits became the force that broke through the air resistance, turning the Little Hiding Dragon into an indigo beam of light that hurtled straight into the profound azure sky.

Slowly, the Little Hiding Dragon too, made its way into the Second Layer, the space where darkness and cold coexisted.

Through the dim light, it could see far in the higher reaches of the Second Layer, a cyan, aged figure struggling to flap its wings, incessantly climbing upwards!

The sight blurred the eyes of the Little Hiding Dragon, for it had never seen its mother look so desolate…

“Woooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The Little Hiding Dragon cried out in grief, its wings pounding faster, drawing the souls from the Soul Concentration Bead to strengthen its wings, determined to catch up to the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.

The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon heard the cry of the Little Hiding Dragon, stiffly turned its head, looking down at that small indigo figure.

Its tired eyes stirred with a tinge of comfort, yet the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon did not cease its final challenge of life; its nearly frozen wings beat on, inching towards the even darker realm.

“Creak creak creak~~~~~~~~~~”

Frost covered its entire body, and its blood was virtually no longer flowing, sustained entirely by sheer resolve.

“Woooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The Little Hiding Dragon screamed desperately. The closer it got to the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, the shorter the distance between them became, but there was still a significant gap, and it could sense its mother’s life force was incredibly weak, on the verge of death.

It could not understand why its mother would leave that place of Spiritual Rhyme, leave that land which could have prolonged its life, to choose this way to end it.

“Huff huff huff huff huff~~~~~” The fierce winds of the Second Heaven were piercingly cold, tormenting the Little Hiding Dragon at every flap of its wings.

The Little Hiding Dragon was not accustomed to hardship; the torment brought tears streaming down, urging it to give up flight.

But each time it saw that cyan, aged figure getting closer, it could not bear to give up, biting down and persevering through flight!

In the dark, icy sky, the weary, majestic cyan figure continued its challenge against the limits of life, becoming smaller and slower. And below it, a stubborn little figure sped up relentlessly, ever in pursuit of its mother…

…

The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s vision grew increasingly blurry; no longer was it the darkness of the Second Layer of Heaven that it saw, but a mesmerising expanse of dragon sky, tinged with captivating blue. Within this sky, myriad dragons soared–both familiar and unfamiliar…

This was the sky of dragons, the final resting place for their kind. The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon felt as if it had reached its destination, and its weary eyes showed a peace it had never known before…

“Crack~~~~~~~~~”

With a crisp sound, the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon, now completely encased in ice, was shattered by the fierce gale that confronted it directly!

At the very moment it beheld the realm in its heart, its life finally reached its end.

Its soul found peace in the world it saw and felt serenity within, and as its body was scattered by the fierce winds, it turned into countless sparkling dragon dust, gently floating through the air like softly twinkling stars…

The glittering dust descended slowly, falling beside the Little Hiding Dragon, before quickly being swept away by the wind.

The Little Hiding Dragon still valiantly flapped its wings, trying to collect all the dragon dust, hoping to reconstitute its mother’s body–but the sparkling dragon dust was too abundant, drifting in different directions with the wind, tangible yet elusive…

The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon was interred across the sky, bringing a rare beauty and tragic grandeur to the cold darkness of the Second Layer of Heaven. But after that, the howling winds and child-like sorrowful cries never ceased, with that small azure-blue figure continuing to chase after its mother everywhere…

…

East Madness Forest

Spring had arrived, melting the winter snow, which in turn created babbling streams flowing through the forest.

Chu Mu stood alone by the stream, watching the clear icy water slip over the smooth cobblestones, and unwittingly fell into deep thought.

“Chu Mu, what’s wrong? You’ve been silent the whole time?” A crisp, pleasant voice floated from behind.

Chu Mu turned around to see the gorgeous and enchanting Ye Qingzi approaching slowly, a gentle smile appearing at the corner of his eyes. It seemed Qingzi understood him after all, noticing even the subtlest shifts in his mood.

Chu Mu wrapped his arms around her fragrant body, yet said nothing, only gazing at the tranquil sky.

Ye Qingzi leaned understandingly against him, also choosing not to speak, but from Chu Mu’s eyes and expression, she could tell he was feeling sad today.

After a long while, Chu Mu finally spoke slowly, “The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon shows no signs of life anymore.”

Chu Mu’s body had been baptized in Jade Spring Holy Blood, which came from the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon himself. Once it faded, Chu Mu could feel the silence in that bloodline…

Ye Qingzi looked up at Chu Mu, having heard him recount his story with the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon. Although she couldn’t feel the connection they shared, she could tell from his earlier tone that it was the creature Chu Mu respected most!

Ye Qingzi didn’t know how to comfort Chu Mu and simply caressed his back gently.

“In fact, when I last saw it, I knew its soul was already very old…” Chu Mu said slowly.

The departure of a life worthy of respect made Chu Mu feel a blockage in his heart.

All along, Chu Mu had admired the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s strength, yearning for the day he could fight freely across the cloud sky.

Now, having reached the same height as it, Chu Mu found that the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon had entered its twilight years and departed from this world in some unknown part of the sky…

“Feeling any better?” Ye Qingzi, seeing Chu Mu’s mood gradually stabilizing, asked softly.

Chu Mu nodded his head. This was the cycle of life, the cycle of all beings. Chu Mu was merely reflecting on the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon’s hardships, but his mood was slowly adjusting. After all, every life must reach its end, and those memories would be cherished, fondly remembered from time to time…

“The Little Hiding Dragon seems to be in the Henghai region now. I just felt its soul fluctuating,” Chu Mu said.

Ye Qingzi had witnessed the birth of Little Hiding Dragon and couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the adorable little dragon, “It must be quite formidable by now, right?”

“Yeah, but it seems it hasn’t sensed me,” Chu Mu said.

“Hmm?” Ye Qingzi didn’t understand why the perception was only one-way.

“I worry that the Defector Girl might sense my presence, so I have restricted my soul’s perception. Unless, like Zhan Ye, who has followed me for many years, one might be fully aware of my location. The Little Hiding Dragon is too young to have established a deeper soul connection, so it cannot sense me,” Chu Mu explained.

“Oh, so do you want to go find it and bring it back?” Ye Qingzi asked.

“It’s quite far away. It would take a long time to find it. Let’s focus on improving the stage of Dream of Oblivion. I think if it flies eastward, it should be able to sense me,” Chu Mu said.
