"Yes! Boss..." Heiyan hesitated slightly but still called out as Li Xiaonan instructed.
"Haha! This sounds familiar!"
Li Xiaonan chuckled and patted Heiyan's slightly hunched shoulder, saying, "Mo Li will probably arrive in about ten days. I want to take a trip to the Underworld; perhaps I can find you all a better place."
Heiyan quickly waved his hands, looking anxious. "That won't do! Although you have high cultivation, there are too many unknown factors in the Underworld. It's better if you don't go! If anything were to happen to you, our Black Dragon Clan..."
Here, five thousand words are omitted. Initially, Li Xiaonan listened calmly to Heiyan's analysis, but as time went on, he couldn't help but start to tune him out, thinking to himself: How is this guy more long-winded than Tang Seng? My ears are going to develop calluses...
Forget it, I'll ask someone else later; I can surely find a way to the Underworld.
Once Li Xiaonan had an idea, he immediately interrupted, "The elder is right; I won't go then. Let's head back to the Village!"
Without waiting for Heiyan's response, he grabbed his collar and moved into the cave.
Inside, the Black Dragons had been chatting just a moment ago, all their topics revolving around Li Xiaonan, but in the next second, they fell silent.
Heiyan paused for a moment before quickly reacting; without saying a word, he pulled Heiming and headed out.
Li Xiaonan watched their hurried backs and couldn't help but chuckle. Where was the old and frail demeanor of Heiyan? His urgency rivaled that of a young person!
As soon as Heiyan and Heiming left, the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.
Heikai was the first to dart over to Li Xiaonan and asked, "Big Brother, what did you and the elder talk about? Why did his attitude towards you change so suddenly?"
Heiwa also asked, "Yeah, big brother, I just saw you show something to the elder, and then he let us all listen to you!"
Li Xiaonan smiled lightly and said, "Although I am human, I am also a foreign dragon. What I showed the elder was something that proves my identity."
He felt that the relationship with the Black Dragons was quite harmonious now. If they knew he was a clan leader, they would probably become like Heiyan, suffocated by the rigid hierarchy of seniority.
Heiwa blinked his big eyes in suspicion and asked, "Is that true?"
"Of course! By the way, here are some elixirs. Each of you take a bottle; they can cure illnesses or serve as protection."
Now that half of the matters concerning the Black Dragon Clan had been settled, as long as nothing went wrong, when Mo Li returned, it would be his turn to lead a counterattack.
Since they were all on the same side now, Li Xiaonan was naturally more generous than before.
Black High frowned slightly and did not take the green gourd like the others. Instead, he said, "I, Black High, already owe big brother a huge favor; I cannot accept this elixir!"
Upon hearing this, several Black Dragons also returned their jade bottles to Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan was momentarily taken aback but then smiled and said, "Since you call me big brother, doesn't that make us brothers?"
"Yes," Gaozi replied. "I admire your strength even more for your broad-mindedness! A foreign dragon must be truly exceptional! Moreover, we have all witnessed it! Although we had some misunderstandings about you before, you never spoke harshly to us! Therefore, this elixir is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Since you consider me a brother and can entrust each other's lives to one another, then why refuse a small bottle of elixir?" Li Xiaonan said as he pressed the jade bottles into their hands one by one.
He changed the subject and continued, "I heard from the elder that your injuries were caused by beasts from underground. Can anyone tell me how to get down there?"
Li Xiaonan had already used his spiritual sense to probe earlier; descending thousands of feet deep with his Mental Power had revealed no signs of any life forms—let alone any ferocious beasts.
This only piqued his interest further.
A hint of fear flickered in Heikai's eyes, but he quickly forced himself to appear calm and asked, "Big Brother, what are you going to do underground?"
"I'm going to broaden my horizons and see what rare treasures there are."
Black High looked at the jade bottle in his hand and raised his head, saying, "Big Brother, I'm familiar with that place. I'll go with you!"
"Big Brother, I'll go with you too!" Heikai and Heiwa said in unison.
"You guys are not ladies, and I'm not a lord. You don't need to accompany me; just tell me how to get there! Don't worry, I'll just take a look and come back right away!"
Li Xiaonan could naturally see the concern these Black Dragons had for him, but he didn't want them to get involved in this mess. So he forced a relaxed smile.
"I consider you my big brother, Gaozi. Do you consider me your brother? In any case, either I go with you or you can't go!" Black High said decisively, furrowing his brow.
"That's right, Big Brother. The kid will go with you!"
"Yeah, Xiao Kai will go with you too!"
"I'll go as well!"
"Me too!"
One after another, voices rose up, catching Li Xiaonan off guard.
He glanced around and saw that there were thirty-five people in the cave, including Heiwa, all eager to join him on this venture.
He felt a warmth in his heart and pondered for a moment: With my current Demigod cultivation, it should be no problem to protect a few people. Instead of being stuck here, I might as well take them to have a look!
With that thought, he said, "Alright, Gaozi, you can come with me. The rest of you stay in the Village."
"Big brother is biased! You take Gaozi but not me! Hmph! You favor boys over girls!" Heiwa pouted, tears shimmering in her expressive apricot eyes.
For just a brief second, Li Xiaonan was lost in thought, recalling the first woman he had met in the Starry Illusion Continent.
She also had a pair of beautiful apricot eyes, but she preferred to furrow her brows. At first, it might have been because she disliked herself; later, perhaps it was out of concern for herself. In any case, until the moment she left this world, her brow was always slightly knitted.
"Big brother bullies me! He ignores me! Boohoo!" Heiwa covered her eyes with her hands and let out a soft whimper, finally pulling Li Xiaonan out of his memories.
Li Xiaonan felt a rush of urgency and immediately comforted her, "Don't cry, I'll take you with me!"
"Really? That's great!"
Looking at her tear-streaked face turning into a smile, Li Xiaonan helplessly shook his head.
The black dragons exchanged glances and immediately chimed in unison, "Big brother! You have to take us too!"
"Yeah! You can't favor boys over girls!"
"If you don't agree, I'll cry for you to see!"
Li Xiaonan looked at them with a vein popping on his forehead. Shouldn't these be the legendary Chinese totems—the dragons? Why are they so shameless...
Half an hour later, Li Xiaonan followed Heikai to a volcanic crater, and behind him trailed a full thirty-four people!
The entire Black Dragon of the Village was mobilized.
If Heiming and Heiyan returned, it would be terrifying! Just thinking about it made Li Xiaonan feel a headache; this was definitely trafficking in national protected animals! He would get caught by the police...
He shook his head helplessly, no longer dwelling on it, and focused his attention on the volcano before him.
The hot air carried scalding flames that brushed against Li Xiaonan's cheeks. It seemed somewhat frightening, but to him, it resembled a cute little beast, posing no threat at all.
Li Xiaonan never imagined that the corridor on the left side of the Village led directly to the entrance of the Underworld.
"Big Brother, jumping down this volcano is the way to the Underworld! Come up on my back!" Black High said as he transformed into a black dragon, spiraling in the air.
His whiskers moved without wind, and with a handsome appearance, he slowly lowered his proud dragon head.
Li Xiaonan nodded and sat on Black High's neck as they plunged into the layers of flames together.
From below, flames surged upward continuously, and from a distance, the ground was filled with boiling lava.
"Big Brother, hold on tight; I'm going down!"
Li Xiaonan was taken aback as he watched Black High's seemingly suicidal act of diving straight into the molten lava like a moth to a flame.
"Pop!"
A soft sound echoed, as if piercing through a thin membrane.
Black High carried Li Xiaonan through the lava!
With a series of thirty-four soft sounds, everyone passed through the molten lava.
Li Xiaonan curiously looked around and saw that the black rock walls were embedded with bright red stones, sparkling and particularly enchanting.
Black High introduced, "Big Brother, these are Fire Bodhi. Consuming them can temporarily increase one's cultivation, but one shouldn't eat too many. There was once a clan member who overindulged, resulting in a sudden surge in strength that shattered their meridians. Through this tunnel lies the Underworld!"
"This is interesting!"
Bringing some back to the Cloud Sky Pavilion for the ancestors to study might lead to the creation of new elixirs.
Thinking this, Li Xiaonan unleashed a blade of wind. With a loud rumble, the Fire Bodhi began to fall, and he collected them into his Azure Jade bracelet.
Black High couldn't help but frown slightly; Li Xiaonan's actions had undoubtedly alarmed the ferocious beasts of the Underworld.
He said nothing more and directly summoned Celestial Energy. A faint golden light enveloped his black-scaled body as he shouted, "Brothers, get ready!"
With that, he dove downwards, followed closely by thirty-four dragons who also descended at an astonishing speed.
Li Xiaonan's keen eyesight quickly revealed the world below, and he was left in shock!
The Underworld before him was not the narrow tunnels he had imagined but a true world!
There was vast sky and expansive land!
As Li Xiaonan scanned with his divine sense, he found that he could no longer sense the Immortal Realm!
He glanced at the ground; it was made of yellow earth. Then he looked up at the sky, which also appeared to be made of yellow earth.
The entire Underworld had its own sky and earth, mountains and rivers, and lush trees, teeming with vibrant life.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but glance back; the volcanic crater he had come from now resembled a blazing red sun.
This Underworld seemed to exist independently like the Buddhist Realm or the Demon Realm, yet why had he never heard of it from those before him?
Moreover, how was it that Black Dragon Mountain had such a passage? What was going on here?
All of this left Li Xiaonan in awe. Sitting atop Black High, he slowly closed his eyes, channeling the divine tree within the Spirit Platform, carefully contemplating every rule of this world.
In the next moment, he became immersed in it, entering a meditative state.
Meanwhile, Black High was already descending with Li Xiaonan, and sure enough, dozens of fierce beasts awaited them.
He cast a glance at Li Xiaonan on his back and thought to himself: My brother is truly extraordinary; even at a time like this, he can enter meditation and cultivate!
“Roar!” He let out a furious roar at the fierce beasts ahead, inner thoughts racing: I must protect my brother at all costs!
