Lin Yang listened intently.
"In particular," Sect Master Zhi said quietly, "the Dragon Bloodline lineage of our sect was almost annihilated. That is also the reason, why today our sect is dominated by Phoenix bloodlines. Before that war… our sect was not called the Heavenly Phoenix Sect.
Lin Yang looked up sharply. "Then it was—?"
"Divine Dragon Phoenix Sect," Sect Master Zhi said.
The name echoed in the hall like a forgotten thunderclap.
Lin Yang felt a faint tremor within his blood.
Sect Master Zhi continued, "During that war, one of our Supreme Elders of the Dragon lineage fell in battle. His soul was shattered… and his physical body was never recovered."
"That loss," one elder said heavily, "was a wound that never healed."
Lin Yang frowned. "But if he was a Supreme Elder… how could his body be lost?"
Sect Master Zhi's voice grew colder. "Because he lost while fighting in a spatial collapse. His body was torn from the battlefield and fell into a lower realm."
A murmur rippled among the elders.
"Recently," Sect Master Zhi said, "we confirmed something."
She lifted her hand, and a projection appeared— it was an ancient tomb surrounded by shattered mountains.
"His physical body lies within a tomb in a lower realm. That tomb will open soon."
Lin Yang's heart stirred.
Sect Master Zhi said while locking eyes with him, "Your mission is to retrieve his remains and bring them back to the sect. He must be buried in our ancestral land."
Silence.
Lin Yang took a slow breath. "Lower realm…?"
Sect Master Zhi nodded. "A realm where spiritual energy is thin, Heavenly Dao weak, and cultivation paths incomplete."
"What is the highest cultivation level there?" Lin Yang asked.
"Void Breaking Realm," she replied.
Only three realms higher than his current cultivation.
Dangerous—
but not unreachable.
Lin Yang remained silent for several breaths.
Then he spoke.
"I will go."
Several elders' eyes widened slightly.
Sect Master Zhi studied him. "You are certain? Once you leave the Tianxu Continent, we cannot intervene directly."
Lin Yang's gaze was steady. "That elder was of the Dragon lineage. I awakened the Ancient Blood Dragon Bloodline. If I refuse this mission… then what right do I have to bear it?"
For a moment—
Sect Master Zhi smiled.
"Good." She stood and declared. "Preparations will begin immediately."
A slight devilish smile come in his heart. Lin Yang was just thinking about his Lust points, but now his problem will be solved. It just that his plan for Saintness, would be extent for some time. But not for too long.
In just one day, all the remaining preparation complete. Sect Master Zhi summoned him one final time.
"This is not only a mission," she said quietly. "It is a test. If you succeed, the Dragon lineage will truly rise again."
"I will not fail."
Lin Yang bowed deeply.
At the sect's ancient teleportation altar, space twisted violently.
Lin Yang stood alone at the center, as the formation activated, he looked once more toward the peaks of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect.
Lower realm… fallen dragon… ancient tomb.
His lips curved faintly.
"Let me see," he murmured, "what kind of place that is."
Light swallowed his figure, and he disappear from this place.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Doulin Continent, Western Region Border
Suddenly a crack in space appear, showing endless void to another side. Just then, a passage like gateway appear from the cracked space.
Then a human like figure come out from it. This is Lin Yang, who has just come to the lower realm. Behind him, cracked space began to heal itself and again stable the void.
"So this lower realm."
Lin Yang look around him, as he could feel thin spiritual energy and weak Dao rules. No wonder one could not achieve Saint realm here.
He use his True Dragon Ascension Step and decide to find someone first. Then he will know about his current location.
His speed is more than ten times higher than before in this realm. Just then he cross entire mountain rally, he find someone fighting in mountain.
"Finally." He turn around and reached to that place. He find one man and Yao beast fighting.
'Slash'
A sharp voice heard as that Yao beast cut in two pieces. This was just a foundation establish realm Yao beast. But this greatly surprise that middle aged man fighting with it. Just he is looking around to find who made the move, a powerful spiritual energy bind him.
"What is this place?"
Lin Yang look at the man and ask slightly.
"Th...this is western border." That man is already shocked with the powerful person infront of him. He did not want to die without any reason and answer truthfully.
"What is the powerful sect here and where?"
"To eastern side, there is Lion sect and... also Sun Yang palace."
"And western side?"
"That is Ten thousand Yao Palace's territory."
That person shocked that this powerful person did not know about Yao Palace territory. But he did not dare to ask. But before he think again, he find that unknown powerful expert are not here now.
"Ten Thousand Yao palace."
Lin Yang fly towards western side. That sect should be powerful one here, as for those two sect, they are only powerful for Foundation Establish Realm cultivator, not for him.
As he flying towards, he found that this place is entirely beast territory, there is no place for humans. Different yao beast races lives here.
After flying for more than half a hour, a massive city appeared before him.
The city was enormous, surrounded by crude but terrifying walls made from black stone and beast bones. Inside, buildings of strange shapes rose everywhere—some like crouching tigers, others like coiled serpents or horned bulls.
Beast claws, fangs, and scales were carved openly into architecture.
This was not for humans, its a Yao beast city.
Many beast roars echoed faintly. Massive figures moved through the streets like wolves walking upright, lion-headed beings in armor, serpentine shadows sliding across rooftops. Blood qi and savage beast aura filled the air.
At the very center of the city stood a structure that instantly drew Lin Yang's gaze.
A dark-red palace.
Its shape resembled a gigantic crouching beast, forged from crimson stone veined with black lines like dried blood. A dragon-patterned gate stood at the front, radiating a fierce pressure.
"So it is Ten Thousand Beast Palace…" Lin Yang muttered.
He descended slowly, stopping above the city center.
Then—
He released his aura. A dragon-blood pressure, heavy and ancient, rolled outward like an invisible tide.
