[Although these children are still at the Foundation Establishment stage, still honing their Golden Cores, none have truly stepped into the Divine Dao.]


    [But there''s nothing more you can teach them.]


    [How they proceed in the future depends entirely on their own choices.]


    [Will they patiently refine their Golden Cores, seek opportunities to break through to the twelfth-grade Golden Core, and pursue the Divine Dao?]


    [Or will they abandon the Divine Dao and choose between the Immortal Dao and Martial Dao?]


    [The choice is in their own hands.]


    [After all, you can''t help everyone find the opportunity to break through to the Divine Dao.]


    [Your words left the young boys and girls puzzled!]


    [But you didn''t exin further, simply saying to disband and that they need note to you for lessons anymore.][Then, you stepped away.]


    [It''s worth mentioning that your "Eager to Teach" talent hasn''t given you any rewards yet.]


    [You think perhaps it will settle once these "disciples" grow a bit more.]


    [You''re not in a hurry about this!]


    [After parting ways with those youngsters, you continued visiting acquaintances in the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe.]


    [You didn''t miss a single household, stopping to chat with each one.]


    [Today, you seemed particrly leisurely and unusual.]


    [Most people didn''t notice your unusual behavior.]


    [But there was one exception.]


    [In the evening, when you returned home, you found Peach squatting at your door, her face full of tears.]


    [You hadn''t even spoken yet.]


    [She was already looking at you, sobbing softly, "Young Master, are you leaving? Are you abandoning me?"]


    [Hearing Peach''s voice and seeing her crying, you felt a pang of sadness in your heart.]


    [Originally, you nned to quietly say goodbye to everyone and leave without a trace.]


    [Who knew this clever girl would find out!]


    [What should you do now?]


    [How should you deceive her?]


    [Yes, you only thought about how to deceive her.]


    [You had no intention of taking her with you.]n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    [After all, you don''t know what the situation is like in the outside world of this ancient continent.]


    [Your strength can''t guarantee absolute safety.]


    [Bringing Peach along might actually endanger her!]


    [In fact, you initially considered staying in the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe to cultivate.]


    [But after much thought, you still felt the need to go out and see the world.]


    [Not only out of curiosity about ancient times, but also because there are no resources nearby the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe for you to cultivate.]


    [Over the years, the seals on you have mostly been lifted.]


    [Before long, you''ll be able to fully restore your cultivation and continue to improve.]


    [You need to prepare for future cultivation.]


    [After a long silence, you gently patted Peach''s hair and softlyforted her, "How could anyone abandon someone as lovely as Peach? I have important matters to attend to!"] ?


    [In saying this, you weren''t exactly lying to Peach.]


    [You do have important matters, like enhancing your strength and seeking resources, which surely count as important matters, right?]


    [Hearing your words, Peach''s face turned red, and the sadness in her heart seemed to lessen a bit; she then asked, "Then, Young Master, will we meet again?"]


    [Hearing this question, you suddenly felt a pang of guilt!]


    [Will you meet again?]


    [This farewell might truly be thest.]


    [After all, you can''t be sure how long you''ll be able to simte.]


    [Once the simtion ends!]


    [In this ancient era, you certainly won''t meet again.]


    [However, you couldn''t possibly tell Peach that.]


    [You painted a hopeful picture for her, saying, "Of course, as long as your cultivation is strong enough, we will meet again!"]


    [The next day, at dawn, you finally coaxed Peach to sleep.]


    [After she fell asleep, you gently caressed her face and whispered, "If you truly are Little Peach, we will definitely meet again!"]


    ["If not, then I wish you well! Until we meet again, if fate allows!"]


    [With those words, you vanished from the room, leaving the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe alone.]


    [Only, you didn''t notice that after you whispered those words, even in her sleep, Peach shed two lines of tears.]


    [Perhaps she heard your voice in her dreams!]


    [Time passed, and half a month flew by.]


    [Now, you find yourself by a great river.]


    [This is a ce you once observed from afar while helping the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe hunt.]


    [Only, you never came this close before.]


    [Because, ording to the people of the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe, this is where the Azure Flood Dragon that protects their tribe resides.]


    [Approaching this ce would be seen as disrespectful!]


    [Previously, while you were in the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe, it was naturally inappropriate to go against the tribe''s rules.]


    [But now, you''re here.]


    [Of course, you''re not here to cause trouble.]


    [It''s just that the situation outside is unclear, and no one in the tribe knows.]


    [This Azure Flood Dragon could serve as a breakthrough point.]


    [After all, ording to the tribe''s legends, this Azure Flood Dragon is a protector.]


    [It should be a benevolent creature.]


    [Communicating with it might reveal some information about this ancient era.]


    [Of course, you didn''t act recklessly.]


    [You didn''t directly call out to the Azure Flood Dragon or enter the water.]


    [Instead, you stood by the great river, continuously waving your hands, inscribing formation talismans.]


    [You wanted to leave yourself a backup n.]


    [What if the information passed down by the tribe was wrong?]


    [What if the Azure Flood Dragon was malevolent?]


    [You couldn''t be too careful!]


    [Currently, your strength is only at the Two-Star Ancient God realm, but your Formation Dao is that of a Sixth-grade Immortal Formation Master.]


    [Plus, you have the talent of the Mortal Domain.]


    [With preparation, even if the Azure Flood Dragon is malevolent, you have confidence in escaping and counterattacking.]


    [After all, it can''t be that unlucky to encounter a Great Principal Golden Immortal level expert right from the start, right?]


    [Several dayster, you looked at the killing formation you had set up and nodded in satisfaction.]


    [Now it''s secure.]


    [If the Azure Flood Dragon is malevolent.]


    [Then you can activate the Mortal Domain, bringing it down to the Mortal realm together.]


    [Then lure it into the formation.]


    [This formation was specially modified to work with the Mortal Domain.]


    [It doesn''t require spiritual energy or primordial energy; it activates as soon as the formation core is touched.]


    [Perfect!]


    [After finishing everything, you began to softly call out to the Azure Flood Dragon by the great river!]


    ["Azure Flood Dragon King? Dragon King?"]


    [These are the respectful titles the tribe uses for the Azure Flood Dragon, so you called it the same.]


    [Unfortunately, there was no response.]


    [After a long time, you felt a bit annoyed and shouted again, "Long Worm, Big Snake; hurry up ande out for your grandpa!"]


    [……]


    [Your bluffing strategy didn''t seem to work either.]


    ["Could it be not at home? Or did something happen?"]


    [You thought to yourself.]


    [After all, you called it Long Worm and Big Snake.]


    [Regardless of whether it''s good or bad, it probably can''t stand it, right!]


    [After simting for so many years, you know that a flood dragon is close to transforming into a dragon, and they hate being called snakes or long worms the most!]


    [After much hesitation, you took a deep breath and stepped directly into the great river.]


    [You wanted to go underwater to check the situation.]
