Bang!
As a quasi-Supreme, Long Ji's Qiankun Nuoyi formation, which she was intimately familiar with and could manifest with a thought, flickered into existence.
Instantly, countless spiritual patterns emerged from the seemingly empty floating island!
In a flash, under the effect of the formation's spiritual patterns, which made even Long Ji feel dizzy, her teleportation formation flickered and then exploded!
Long Ji stared dumbfounded at her own exploded formation, then looked with terrified eyes at the spiritual patterns that had once again vanished on the floating island.
She clearly remembered not detecting any formation being laid out here before!
At this moment, Long Ji fully focused her mind, observing with all her might, and finally managed to catch a faint trace.
The island before her was not without a formation, but rather someone had combined the four paths of artifact, formation, talisman, and technique in a way that Long Ji could barely comprehend, laying out a profound array!
If Long Ji's formation attainment had not reached quasi-Supreme, and if this formation had not actively manifested to suppress the formation created by Chen Luo, Long Ji would not have even been able to discover its existence.
Chen Luo's apologetic voice sounded in Long Ji's ear: "Sorry, Long Ji, I forgot to tell you. Last night, after my five guardian arts all broke through to the Grandmaster realm, I felt a bit restless and decided to try setting up a forbidden formation."
"Wait a moment, I'll deactivate this formation, and you can teleport out."
Long Ji's lips twitched slightly. You, a Grandmaster of formations, set up a forbidden formation that suppressed me, a quasi-Supreme of formations?!
You're not the Heavenly Dao's favored son, you're the Heavenly Dao's father!
Her sense of being a mother-in-law shaken once more, Long Ji quickly waved her hand, forcing herself to calm down, and said:
"No, there's no need. This concubine prefers to walk."
"Chen Shi, please wait, this concubine will go and get the books you want!"
Chen Luo was stunned. When did I become your master?
But before Chen Luo could ask, Long Ji truly fled towards the outside of the floating island.
The terrifying speed and the strong winds stirred up along the way truly allowed Chen Luo to witness the physical strength of a true dragon in this world.
Leaving Chen Luo to rub his nose in place, he muttered to himself: "Erm, forget it, it's fine to take a disciple, mutual growth and learning. Right, I should also take Linglong as a disciple later."
"Yes, with me, they'll be senior and junior sisters. Outside, they'll still be mother and daughter. Good idea! But I still need to ask Long Ji's opinion first."
"Also Miaoyu, according to the information, this sect seems to be very good at researching the cultivation of Furnace Cauldron physiques. Yes, there must be quite a few books and information! I'll take them all!"
"Hiss, in that case, should I also visit the other few sects among these Ten Great Sects?"
...
Linglong, who was waiting outside the island, witnessed a scene she would never forget in her life.
Her majestic and loving mother, her mother who had smiled as if nothing happened even after being struck by a sword from the Immortal Dynasty's ruler, was actually crying?!
Anxious, Linglong quickly stepped forward: "Mother! What did Chen Luo do to you?!"
Long Ji was startled. Seeing that it was her daughter, she quickly wiped away her tears and said flusteredly: "No! Long'er, don't think too much, nothing happened!"
It's over, Long'er saw me crying in fear.
But it's really too much. You're just a newly promoted Grandmaster, how can the formation you set up suppress me, a dignified quasi-Supreme of formations?!
Did my previous breakthroughs just feel like an illusion?!
Long Ji, who was questioning her life, was completely surpassed by a newcomer who had only studied for less than a month in her most confident field.
This feeling of her confidence collapsing made Long Ji feel utterly terrible.
Calling Chen Luo "master" earlier was also Long Ji's genuine feeling, she couldn't help it, he was too strong!
And Long Ji had to admit that her own rapid progress was ultimately due to Chen Luo, this Heavenly Dao's father, carrying her along.
It's only been less than a month. If Chen Luo were to achieve Supreme right in front of Long Ji after finishing the remaining books, Long Ji wouldn't feel surprised anymore!
Hastily breaking free from her daughter's questioning, Long Ji quickly activated the Qiankun Nuoyi formation and instantly left Linglong's side.
Linglong was left in the sky, looking at the spot where her mother disappeared, then at the floating island behind her that remained as quiet as ever, her eyes filled with extreme complexity:
"Could it be that he abandoned mother after playing with her?!"
Chen Luo, who was on the floating island studying the spiritual patterns, spiritual energy, and the five guardian arts, had no idea that he had merely considered taking disciples.
But within the Han Hai Sect, one mother wanted him as a son-in-law, while the other was even more ruthless, wanting him to be a responsible stepfather!
...
After hastily delivering all the final hidden classics from the Han Hai Library to Chen Luo's floating island in one go, a certain quasi-Supreme dared not linger for a second and rushed out of the floating island.
She couldn't help it, she was scared, because she truly couldn't understand Chen Luo's formations anymore! If Chen Luo were to speak again, she would lose all face!
Although she had blurted out "master" earlier, she, Long Ji, couldn't bring herself to formally apprentice.
Moreover, Long Ji was also considering her daughter's fate. If she became a disciple, wouldn't her daughter become a grandchild, and their fate would be severed!
Therefore, Long Ji couldn't afford to offend him, so she could only avoid him for now! Long Ji even planned to immediately propose marrying her daughter once Chen Luo finished reading the books!
After all, having multiple wives and concubines is normal in this world. She was only asking for a concubine position for her daughter, which wasn't too much, was it?!
And you've read so many books from our Han Hai Sect, and I, Long Ji, haven't forced you with my power, so you can't refuse, right!!
With her plan in mind, after delivering the books, Long Ji left her contact information via a communication jade token and returned to her palace.
For the next two days, she did not visit the floating island again.
However, Long Ji, who was planning the marriage of her daughter, did not notice that over these two days, her daughter's gaze towards her had become increasingly strange.
It was a gaze filled with sympathy, sadness, indignation, and determination.
"Mother must have been bullied! But at this point, mother still couldn't bear to use force against Chen Luo, so her love must be deeply rooted!"
"No, I have to find a way to help mother. She raised me so well and made so many sacrifices, it's time for me to repay her!"
Just as this mother and daughter were having their own thoughts and thinking for each other, thirty days after that banquet.
Long Ji received a message from Chen Luo:
"I've finished reading the books. Long Ji, bring Linglong to me. I've calculated that based on Linglong's automatic absorption of spiritual energy, her True Dragon Tribulation should be within these two days."
The moment Long Ji saw the message, her heart leaped, and without any doubt, she rushed to the floating island where Chen Luo was.
As for Linglong, when she saw her mother excitedly flying towards Chen Luo's floating island because of a message, her conviction grew even stronger.
Her gentle and kind mother had become Chen Luo's captive!
