Little Junior Sister, We Can’t Handle This Grind Anymore - Chapter 84

“What do you mean by that, Senior?” A look of confusion flashed in Feng Qingran’s apricot-blossom eyes. The Dragon Emperor had told her it would be fine.

Yinglong’s eyes gleamed with a sharp, cold light. “Since you claim the Ancestral Dragon has become an artifact spirit, that means it lacks a true physical form and exists only as a soul. For a soul to persist, it relies on immense divine power to sustain itself.”

“And the Ancestral Dragon gave all its soul’s power to you!”

“This means—before long, the Ancestral Dragon’s consciousness will completely dissipate between heaven and earth, becoming an artifact spirit devoid of awareness.”

“The dissipation of consciousness represents true death, with no chance of revival ever again.”

After speaking, Yinglong stared intently at Feng Qingran.

It wanted to see what was so special about her?

What could make the Ancestral Dragon willingly abandon its consciousness, vanishing utterly into eternity?

The Ancestral Dragon had been unyielding and proud its entire life.

Even during the great ancient wars, cornered and hanging by a thread, the Ancestral Dragon had never given up!

Later, to protect the dragon bloodline, it hadn’t hesitated to self-destruct…

Surprise and worry stirred in the depths of Feng Qingran’s dark eyes.

She had only met the Dragon Emperor Senior once. Yet, to protect her, it had sacrificed all its divine power!

“Senior Yinglong, is there any way to save the Dragon Emperor Senior?” Feng Qingran’s eyes flickered, her voice tinged with urgency.

The coldness in Yinglong’s eyes faded, replaced by solemn authority. “There is! It gave all its power to you. Within ten years, its soul will completely dissipate.”

“If you can reach the Nascent Soul stage within ten years and host it within your sea of consciousness, you can prevent its soul from perishing.”

“Then, within a hundred years, you must find an object from the Ancestral Dragon’s past life, attach its soul to it, and send it to a Nurturing Land where its soul can slowly grow stronger…”

“Your current cultivation is at the Foundation Building stage. Reaching Nascent Soul within ten years isn’t particularly difficult. The challenge lies in finding an object from the Ancestral Dragon’s past life and locating a Nurturing Land…”

Yinglong’s voice gradually grew heavy, as if recalling something unpleasant.

Feng Qingran’s eyes shone like moonlight, joy evident on her face. “Is that true, Senior? Please tell me in detail. Where should I go to find an object from the Dragon Emperor Senior’s past life? And what are the requirements for the Nurturing Land?”

“No one knows the whereabouts of the Ancestral Dragon’s past possessions. The Nurturing Land is even harder to find…” Yinglong’s eyes held a solemn dignity as it seemed to fall into some memory.

The Ancestral Dragon’s past possessions are scattered across three thousand minor worlds. There are simply no clues.

Once an artifact of the Ancestral Dragon appears in the world,

a certain group will immediately sense the Ancestral Dragon’s presence.

Would that group give the Ancestral Dragon a chance to recover?

And no matter how hard Feng Qingran cultivates within a hundred years, she couldn’t possibly be a match for them.

A wave of sorrow washed over Yinglong. Their dragon clan had truly fallen!

Seeing Yinglong hesitate to speak further, Feng Qingran pressed on, “Senior, what are the specific requirements for the Nurturing Land?”

Yinglong sighed. “The Nurturing Land must be a place where the Heavenly Dao does not exist. But that is almost impossible.”

“Unless you can find a Void Space leftover from the Primordial Chaos era and create a new world within it.”

“But Void Spaces no longer exist. Even the Primal Artifacts capable of creating new worlds have all disappeared…”

The more Yinglong spoke, the greater its sorrow, mixed with endless regret.

Why did they support the rise of that kind of Heavenly Dao back then?

Yinglong couldn’t help but let out a mournful dragon cry, its solemn eyes filled with boundless desolation. “It’s impossible. There’s no way to do it. You should leave.”

“Little girl, your future is bright. Don’t get involved in this any further!”

However, when Feng Qingran heard “Void Space,” her eyes brightened slightly. Could it be that everything was arranged by fate?

Feng Qingran did not choose to leave.

She looked directly at Yinglong, her expression serious and respectful. “Senior, wait. The path of cultivation I have chosen is precisely to contend with the heavens for a chance!”

“No matter how difficult the path to saving the Dragon Emperor Senior is, I will not give up!”

“Please, Senior, tell me the characteristics of the Dragon Emperor Senior’s past possessions.”

Feng Qingran stood among the mountain of blades, her posture respectful, her back straight, her gaze sharp and determined, not yielding an inch.

Yinglong, who had been about to leave, paused. Its eyes bore down on Feng Qingran with immense pressure. “Little girl, since ancient times, it’s been said that fate is determined by heaven. Why must you bring suffering upon yourself?”

“But it is also said since ancient times that human effort can prevail, that man can conquer heaven!” Feng Qingran was deeply grateful to the Dragon Emperor Senior for freeing her from the shackles of conventional thinking.

Yinglong’s eyes showed astonishment and a touch of heartened approval. “If you can walk out of these Barren Lands alive, I will tell you.”

“Alright!” Feng Qingran agreed without the slightest hesitation.

“Think carefully. You currently have no spiritual power. To pass through the mountain of blades and sea of fire, you must rely entirely on willpower. The slightest misstep could cost you your life. Even knowing this, do you still wish to proceed?” Yinglong warned.

Not a trace of fear showed in Feng Qingran’s eyes. “Even if it were hell itself, I would still venture through it!”

“Since you have made your choice, you should know that on the path you’ve chosen, there is no right to turn back. Take care!” Having said this, Yinglong flew away.

Once one steps into the Barren Lands, they must walk out on their own.

It could not help Feng Qingran. To pass through the Barren Lands, the most important thing wasn’t strength, but a resilient heart.

A determination that is fearless, unafraid, and without shame before heaven and earth.

On the path of cultivation, there are no lack of those with mediocre talent who ultimately reach the position of Great Emperor.

It hoped Feng Qingran could also achieve the status of Great Emperor.
