Linglong couldn't understand what had happened to her mother.
First, after meeting Chen Luo alone, she suddenly started studying books with great fervor, and as time went on, her seriousness made Linglong a little anxious.
Finally, yesterday she suddenly returned to normal, and today she entered the floating island where Chen Luo was with a joyful expression.
But it was only for a short moment. Before Linglong could even move away, she saw her mother walk out, lost and dejected again.
No, the observant Linglong saw more.
When her mother walked out, she didn't seem to be wearing the palace attire she had on when she went in. Although she changed into a new dress as soon as she left the floating island, Linglong would never forget.
The clothes were gone, her expression was lost, and coupled with her mother's strange behavior over the past half month, a disbelieving thought surfaced in Linglong's heart.
Anxiously, Linglong quickly flew to Long Ji's side and said nervously, "Mother, you..."
But as soon as she spoke, Linglong didn't know how to continue. Should she ask if her mother had found her a stepfather?!
Looking at her precious daughter, Long Ji finally recovered from her shock. She ruffled Linglong's little head with a complicated expression:
"Long'er, I'm sorry for you..."
Pitiable me, a generation's Grandmaster of Array Dao, was actually defeated by a cultivation newcomer in her most skilled domain.
Was there really a genius in the world who disdained the fate of advancing to Grandmaster?
If someone had told Long Ji this before, Long Ji would have chuckled and turned away, as there was no point in talking to a fool.
But Chen Luo's words had shaken her worldview too terrifyingly. The realm of Array Dao, which she was so proud of, was something he could enter whenever he wished.
After understanding this fact, Long Ji felt an unspeakable sense of frustration. She didn't even dare to act like an elder in front of Chen Luo anymore.
As for asking if he had any intention of taking Linglong as a concubine?
Sorry, daughter, it's not that you're not worthy.
It's that I'm not worthy, and I don't dare to be his mother-in-law!
But her own daughter had no idea of Long Ji's myriad thoughts.
Coupled with her mother's unusually pale face, the changed clothes, and the inexplicable apology, Linglong felt like she was suffocating!
But with the young man she had feelings for on one side, and her most cherished mother on the other, Linglong felt that at this moment, she was standing at a crucial juncture in her life.
Linglong wanted to shout angrily, but when she looked up at Long Ji's pale face and slightly evasive eyes (Long Ji, still pondering and reminiscing from the shock of Chen Luo), Linglong's heart ached.
The next moment, the half-dragon girl said nothing, just took a step forward and hugged her mother tightly.
And Long Ji, after a brief moment of surprise, also hugged her little darling with a gentle expression.
Recalling the countless joys and expectations she had gained from nurturing Linglong over the years,
And the despair upon discovering that Linglong was a damaged True Dragon body and was bound to perish in the Great Tribulation of Ascension,
The shock in Long Ji's eyes quietly receded, replaced by a resolute determination!
No matter what! What is there to fear!
Isn't it better that Chen Luo is outstanding! For my daughter! I'm determined to accept this son-in-law! At worst, he'll call me mother-in-law, and I'll call him teacher!
On the night of the twelfth day, Long Ji slept soundly, hugging her daughter happily. Although she found it a little strange that her daughter had suddenly become very silent, it didn't matter. Once her mother finalized the marriage for you!
Everything would be fine!
But on the thirteenth day, when Long Ji stepped onto the floating island again, her legs felt weak.
She could clearly sense that a complete Vast Sea Heavenly Curtain Array had been laid out on the entire floating island.
Although with her level as a Grandmaster of Array Dao, she could see some flaws in the array.
However, the arrangement in some places was something even she, the creator of the great array, couldn't quite understand.
Under Long Ji's terrified gaze, a flash of divine power of Qiankun lit up, and Chen Luo appeared out of thin air.
As soon as Chen Luo appeared and saw Long Ji, his eyes lit up. He quickly took Long Ji's hand and walked towards a part of the array:
"Long Ji, you've come at the right time. I have a few questions about the combination of Array Dao and other Dao-protecting techniques that I need you to help me answer!"
Long Ji, as Chen Luo pulled her towards the place she clearly couldn't understand, felt completely panicked.
Even when she encountered the divine sword of that Immortal Dynasty Lord back then, Long Ji hadn't been this flustered.
But then, the dignity of the Lord of the Vast Sea managed to stabilize Long Ji's mind!
Don't panic, I'm still a Grandmaster in the path of formations! I should still be able to guide you!
But looking at the fluctuations of promotion to Grandmaster that kept flashing on Chen Luo's body, only to be casually dispersed by him, Long Ji felt her knees go weak.
And as Chen Luo walked, countless books from the Vast Sea Library continuously appeared around him. The speed at which he flipped through them was so fast that Long Ji couldn't even see the covers!
The following days were like a dream for Long Ji.
Every day, she was pulled by Chen Luo to answer questions. Chen Luo was considerate enough to mostly ask about Array Dao, only occasionally interspersed with other Dao-protecting techniques for integrated use.
But whenever these interspersed moments occurred and Long Ji was speechless, Chen Luo's understanding gaze felt incredibly piercing!
However, the reason Long Ji persisted in going despite such torment was that her own realm of Array Dao was no longer shaky, but was undergoing a thorough leap forward through her repeated question-and-answer sessions with Chen Luo!
Thousands of years of accumulation of time and knowledge seemed to be connected and linked by Chen Luo's questions within a few short days!
On the twenty-seventh day, Long Ji let out a long roar within her palace!
In the dragon's roar, all the demons submitted!
And endless spiritual patterns of Array Dao emanated from Long Ji's palace towards the entire Vast Sea small world!
The profundity of these spiritual patterns of Array Dao was even greater than that of the Vast Sea Array!
On this day, the Lord of the Demon Race, on the path of formations, stepped into the quasi-supreme realm!
In the common understanding, the five Dao-protecting techniques could only reach the Grandmaster level at most.
Even Ascension realm powerhouses found it extremely difficult to reach the Grandmaster realm in their entire lives.
But only those who had truly embarked on the path of Grandmaster understood,
The Dao is endless!
The so-called Grandmaster was merely someone who had achieved great success on a path, but the world was constantly developing, and the so-called Dao was also constantly enriching.
Compared to the crude methods of using spiritual energy during the awakening of the spiritual energy civilization, the current five Dao-protecting techniques had already become much more brilliant.
And Grandmaster was naturally not the true end of the Dao-protecting path!
In the imagination of Grandmasters, above the Grandmaster realm, there should be another realm, a supreme realm that Grandmasters could only vaguely guess but could never find a foothold in!
Supreme Grandmaster!
At this moment, Long Ji clearly felt that she had surpassed the Grandmaster realm, but she was still a world away from the imagined supreme. This realm could be called Half-step Supreme!
Feeling her new understanding of Array Dao, Long Ji now even had the courage to confront that Immortal Dynasty Lord with her sixth level of Ascension!
After the joy, Long Ji gazed at the floating mountain that was constantly flashing with formation light, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
Hmph, kid, your mother-in-law is here!!
