Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 89 ~ Improvements

"After what I explained to you! Do you want to continue your journey? I can't prevent you nor can I tell you to. I can at any time open the dimensional gate of this dragon path but it depends on your decision."

"Oh yes, wasn't your original purpose of coming here related to the Holy Dragon Armor? And I'm guessing for sure you've also met the Eastern Dragon Commander, haven't you?"

Shongshu Hong changed his hovering standing position, now he was more lenient than before. He could clearly see the limits of Tan Hao's strength but he was reluctant to reveal his knowledge.

"Sister? Should we go back, is it not ridiculous to have to sacrifice our lives for our curiosity? Besides, I'm quite satisfied to find the Pot of Hell." whispered Lan Lihua who had just clung to Tan Hao while listening to Shongshu Hong's explanation.

While Tan Hao was still processing all of Shongshu Hong's explanations in his mind. He did not think that he was really like an ant, the thing that he thought was the strongest person in the Earth Realm was in fact just an empty expression of knowledge that he had always believed.

Shongshu Hong's explanation made him unable to refute the information he had heard before. Tan Hao smiled slightly for a moment after Lan Lihua whispered to him.

"Lianhua Goddess? Daddy's? And now this squirrel man? Heh.. It's true that I've been too proud of myself. So there was no reason for such arrogance." Inner Tan Hao chuckled lightly.

"Alright fine! I decided to go back, I don't think it's time I went too far. Can you show me the way back?" tan Hao said kindly as he looked at the stairs he had passed like lost swallowed dark while the stairs he was going through glowed due to Fire Fire Fireflies.

Lan Lihua sighed lightly, she felt relieved because Tan Hao would listen to her words. Even though they had not lived together for long, Lan Lihua knew that Tan Hao was a difficult person to influence when he had decided something.

"Ah yes. Fireflies will lead you back, you just have to give them energy and they will obey you." replied Shongshu Hong as he looked at one of the fireflies that perched in his palm.

Tan Hao lightly nodded his understanding mark then he released his profound energy in the form of a transparent purple colored flame in his palm and spread rapidly encompassing the entire room.

Lan Lihua was startled for a moment when she saw that the profound energy Tan Hao was expending was so quickly absorbed by the surrounding Firefly colony.

"Fortunately they are soft animal type, if they are predatory type, I fear that there will be a lot of casualties if this colony comes out in the wild." Lan Lihua inner as she shook her head.

Shongshu Hong smiled sinisterly, his glance covered in eyebrow fur focused on Tan Hao.

"The Being of the Saint God and Dragon Blood huh? I feel like this guy has something I know. Uh.. Even so this is still too weak when viewed from his lineage even though it is quite promising to see from the nature he occupies." Shongshu Hong said inwardly.

"Well, you better follow them soon or there won't be any more light to help" Shongshu Hong said as he pointed at the colony of Fireflies that started to move.

"Then what about you! Don't you want to come with us? Isn't there nothing here for a life?"

Shongshu Hong rejected Lan Lihua's subtle invitation without saying anything just shook his head slowly while pointing towards the colony of Fireflies that had moved.

Tan Hao could understand the intent of Shongshu Hong, he only smiled faintly by nodding his head.

"Hua'er, we better be right back. Uncle Hong guarded this place then how could he possibly leave? Next time we will meet again. Isn't that Uncle Hong?"

The squirrel hermit just chuckled a little then disappeared without a trace. Leaving behind Tan Hao and Lan Lihua who still had the desire to invite him.

Lan Lihua still had a high curiosity about who the Squirrel Hermit she met was. But the curiosity he had with had to be ignored.

"I think we're going the wrong way."

Elder Shuxan's statement stopped his fourth normal but alert trip amid the thick fog that enveloped.

"What are you talking about? Do you doubt my abilities?" he was annoyed with a light growl, his eyes so sharp.

Elder Shuxan only reacted to opening both of his hands while lightly raising both his shoulders. While other things were being felt by Elder Tiandou who was at the very back right behind Liu Zey.

"This fog is terrible, even I can't feel the presence of Zey's sister right in front of me. Can you understand the situation, Yue..?"

Elder Tiandou spoke in his mind as he observed the situation around him regardless of the light-hearted exchange of Su Kong and Elder Shuxan.

The thing that underlies his vigilance if suddenly there is a sudden attack, they will not be able to dodge because they do not know the direction of arrival.

"I can only feel the visible traces of energy from Mr. Tan Hao starting to fuse with this fog, you better take over the guide and quickly follow my directions or we will be lost forever here." light Yue Yin within Elder Tiandou.

For a moment Elder Tiandou could see the energy that Yue Yin was referring to but it was not clear enough. A purplish energy formed like a long thread floating in the air.

"Ah is that him? Yes you're right. It's even stronger than I remember ... Alright we should move as quickly as possible." Tiandou said in a heart that was momentarily shocked then reacted seriously with a faint smile.

Liu Zey quickly noticed Elder Tiandou's change, he only stared at him for a moment then followed his movements.

"When are you going to be like that? Quickly use the inner strength to protect the body and follow me." exclaimed Tiandou who made Liu Zey smile lightly.

"Ah we understand ... I'm sorry." said the two together reacting like a child.

Not long ago they darted following the direction that Yue Yin had pointed, they were startled by the arrival of an overwhelming pressure attacking them simultaneously.

Elder Tiandou could see clearly using the Eye of Heaven.

"Isn't that a dragon? Did I not see wrong?" muttered Tiandou feeling surprised by what he saw. However Yue Yin immediately convinced Tiandou that it was true, but it was merely an energy not a physical form.

The same dragon that Lan Lihua had encountered some time ago blocked her fourth journey. Although it did not really show his presence and just his energy alone yet it was enough to make the three of them depressed was incredible except Elder Tiandou.

Yue Yin immediately came out from Tiandou's body darting rapidly towards the dragon-shaped energy that was launching an aura of suppressive energy without the three knowing. Elder Tiandou had not even had the chance to ask further.

Yue Yin's decision to exit her body even though it was only half her original energy made Tiandou have many questions.

"What dragon is that? Why did Yue Yin seem to know him? And again these three! What should I do to help them?" inner Tiandou momentarily after glanced at Liu Zey, Su Kong and Elder Shuxan alternately.

They do not realize that their current place is not far from the gate of the room that has the heirloom they are looking for. The pressure attack launched by Bing Long not only made them breathless without being able to do anything but also forced them to forget their purpose to come to the place busy thinking about how to overcome the terrible pressure or immediately out of the thick fog valley.

Meanwhile, Yue Yin decided to go out to meet Bing Long not only because she knew the intent and purpose of Bing Long carrying out the attack but also something else.

"Bing Long, -! Is that you? It's me Yue Yin." yelled Yue Yin who was in the form of a Heaven Feather Pigeon darting towards Bing Long who was raising her head while opening her mouth wide.

Bing Long was surprised to hear the screeches, he did not change his position but he changed his eyes. Although he was at a height but he could see clearly.

"This sound! Goddess Yue? The servant of the Goddess Yu Huanran! Being here? Don't I see it wrong or is it true?" inner Bing Long while looking at Yue Yin who darted towards him.

At first glance, Bing Long's gaze was like the gaze of someone who harbored longing. He twisted his body and then darted down towards Yue Yin without stopping the pressure attack he was emitting into the vast area around the room he was guarding.
