Chapter 391 (2/2)

Zhang Dong nodded, the more turmoil that they caused for the Soaring Dragon Sect the happier the other two would be. They probably wished to snatch the mainlands that were in the center of the empire for themselves and only then worry about the United Element Sect.

”Well, there is no use to worry, we can only look towards the future, gramps get back into position, we need to get you into the nascent soul level, or was there something else?”

Zhang Dong looked at his wife and just shook her head. While he was glad that she was worried about him to the point of paying him a visit here, it was not the time for a family get-together.

Soon Liena left the cave and was greeted by her grandmother.

”See, I told you that he would return, my husband, isn't so easily killed. It's best that you don't mention that you wanted me to remarry.”

”Yes, that would be best...”

”But Liena, do you really think that it's wise to stay? I understand that you want to listen to your husband but I worry about the future of this sect, what if we…”

”No, he is the Patriarch, without him there would be no sect, if you doubt him then you can just leave, no one will stop you.”

Feng Maling was glared down by her granddaughter and started chuckling.

”Your love for him didn't waver one bit, it might have only gotten stronger, fine I'll put my faith into the young Patriarch, if we falter then we shall pass on from this world together.”

The old woman nodded and was about to join the other core formation experts before feeling something. She together with all the others looked to the cave into which Zhang Dong and Zhang Jin vanished.

”What is that…”

The ground started to rumble and the cave opening that was being guarded lit up in blue. There was clearly something happening inside but no one dared to enter. They were told by the Patriarch that there would be strong energy fluctuations during the change and that they should not interrupt the process or it might cost Zhang Jin his life.

”Everyone, let us give the Patriarch some space.”

Feng Maling called out to the people that were sitting around and trying to get their own cultivation in check. They all nodded and quickly put some space between themselves and the small mountain that they had set up their training camp.

”By the ancestors, is that old idiot really going to progress?”

Feng Maling's eyes bulged out as she hovered next to her granddaughter that had helped her move out of the range of this energy.

”If my husband said that he would be able to do it, then he will be able to do it!”

Liena on the other hand just nodded while smiling. She started looking around to see a forest of astonished faces. Everyone's jaws were agape at the demonstration here. It was clear that they weren't sure if the Patriarch's plan would work. After five long years, a chunk of them had forgotten how big of a miracle worker Zhang Dong was.

They would remember after this day that their leader had the golden touch. The mountain exploded with another burst of energy that approached the level of a nascent soul master. This wasn't a gentle transformation, no, from inside the mountain Zhang Jin's screams could soon be heard.

”Bare with it, we are almost there!”

Shouted Zhang Dong before the closed-off mountain blew its top. A pillar of deep blue escaped from it that formed a fountain of water. This burst of clear blue transformed into a mighty serpent with wings that gave out a mighty roar.

”H-he did it!”

The old grandma could not believe what she was seeing. Inside of this water dragon stood a half-naked Zhang Jin. His age started getting to him these past five years but now he looked like a new man. Even some color returned to his hair after he achieved this new level of power.

When they looked up they could see Zhang Jin floating up in the air. Behind him was Zhang Dong who still had his palm on his grandfather's shoulder. It looked like he was constantly helping the old man with his new transformation and only pulled back after it was done.

”T-this… I feel a hundred years younger!”

Zhang Jin was ecstatic as he shouted out. His aura spread through the area and brought the core formation elders to their knees. Luckily Liena was there to block it, otherwise, some of them would have blacked out instantly.

”You old fool, get a hold of yourself, you're not the only one here!”

Feng Maling shouted out in anger but only when Zhang Jin got smacked to the back of the head by Zhang Dong did he realize what he was doing.

”Oh… excuse this old man, I must have lost myself…”

”Yeah… you should go meditate and check if your cultivation is stable, it does look like your nascent soul is stable but you'll need some time before you can make your soul beast appear.”

Zhang Dong nodded and then looked down at Feng Mailing.

”Okay granny, you're next, then I'll start with the rest of the elders, please decide on the order yourself.”

Everyone nodded while looking with sparkly eyes at the floating Zhang Jin. To them it was a miracle in the making, to allow them to reach this level of power Zhang Dong was a true saint to them.
