Chapter 156: Snow Feathered Ancestral Dragon.

"Li Jun? Lao? Are you there? Haru called out into the emptiness of his soul ocean. He needed answers before but they didn't come to him. The last thing he wanted to do was disturb them but he was confused as the where they had gone. He felt bad as he called for them both once again but to his surprise, they both appeared one after the other.

"That girl! Where did she go?" Li Jun was the first one to ask as he appeared from thin air and approached Haru with a long stride to close the distance as fast as possible.

"Girl? What girl?" Haru asked confused. Why was Li Jun acting this way? It was unlike his usual self.

"The young girl that you saved. Where did she go? No one must harm her." Li Jun said with a little bit of frustration in his voice.

"Oh, Well she went to the cultivation association to learn how to cultivate," Haru responded. His body tensed up as he looked at Li Jun who seemed to be extremely worried for a moment and then he settled down.

"The cultivation association? That's good. I thought she might be put in danger again." Li Jun called down but Lao was the one to now become frustrated.

"The cultivation association? That's good? Why is it good that she is going to be taught how to cultivate by some backwater group of humans from the lower realms!? She should be up in the upper realm with the rest of her kind." Lao said to Li Jun angrily.

"Calm down. It's okay she will be safe there. Once she learns how to cultivate she won't need them anymore. It is just temporary." Li Jun responded while trying to calm Lao but it didn't work.

"Calm down!? How can I calm down when something like that just appears out of nowhere. If my brothers ever knew that I missed the bring her back to our capital I would be the laughing stock of the whole dragon race." Lao shouted.

"What's going on? Why is that girl so important?" Haru asked. He was still confused as to what they were talking about.

"That girl you just saved has an innate bloodline just like yourself. That's why we had to hide our presence. Even though she isn't a cultivator she would have still been able to sense us." Li Jun said with a sigh.

"An innate bloodline? Is that so special, I thought that director guy I fought against back then had an innate bloodline." Haru looked up at Lao and asked.

"Don't lump in some half-assed initial rank bloodline with yours and that girls. It is an insult to your phoenix over there." Lao said to Haru before looking over at Kun who was surveying the soul ocean by flying around.

"She has a special bloodline like me?" Haru asked them both but Lao just sighed leaving Li Jun to take the lead in the conversation.

"You're bloodline is special in the fact that it is one of the strongest and most noble bloodlines in the universe. But that little girl's bloodline is special for being the most ancient bloodline. The blood that runs through her veins is the same blood that founded the dragon race.

The snow feathered ancestral dragon. There was only one to ever exist. He was the father to the same bloodline that Lao is a part of so he sensed it right away. I didn't notice anything at first but I trusted Lao so I hid my presence as soon as he sensed her.

Who would have known that not only would we encounter the heavenly phoenix king's bloodline here but also the snow feathered ancestral dragon's bloodline." Li Jun said as Lao made a questioning grunting sound. Both Haru and Li Jun looked up at him.

"It looks like I was right. It isn't just a coincidence that the dragon emperors ring made its way here… It could probably sense the bloodline of its creator. Great, great grandfather must have gifted his blood to a human from this world millions of years ago…

Or maybe one of his successors settled down here?" Lao questioned and then his eyes seemed to light up.

"If that's the case then that would mean… There is the body of a true dragon someone on this planet. There's a chance I could escape from this thing and get myself a real body once more." Lao said with a toothy grin as his tail began to swing back and forth throughout Haru's soul ocean.

"You know… You might just be right. It would have had to be millions of years ago so it could be buried underground since you dragons like to make their homes in caves." Li Jun thought about it and then came to the same conclusion that Lao did.

There was probably the body of a dragon somewhere on earth that was the cause of the sudden change in Haru's life. If it wasn't for the body of that dragon being somewhere on earth then Haru would never have become a cultivator.

"We need to find the dragon's body." Li Jun stated and then looked over to Haru who was standing helplessly thinking about all of the things he had seen thanks to that dragon dying on earth. He came to the same conclusion before Li Jun even suggested it.

Both Li Jun and Lao had helped him out so many times that he wanted to do something to return the favour. There was no chance in hell that he wouldn't find the body for Lao but the problem was that he didn't know where to look.

"And just how do I do that?" Haru asked.

"That's easy, all you need is the blood of that little girl and you will be able to find locate the snow feathered ancestral descendant," Lao said with a chuckle.

"Wait… You want me to kill a child!?" Haru asked. He was outraged by what Lao had just said but he should have taken more thought into what he meant.

"No, You don't need to kill here. All you need is a few drops of blood and then I will take care of the rest." Li Jun said clearing up Haru's misunderstanding.

"Thank god. I thought you really wanted me to kill a kid." Haru sighed.

That child might just be the soul true descendant of our dragon race. And the only one suitable to take up the throne. If I could materialise a body I would train her to become the next empress of the dragon race." Lao began to wonder and then looked back at Li Jun.

"It seems like it will be time soon," Lao said and then looked down at Haru.

"Time? Time for what?" Li Jun asked confused for a moment and then something seemed to come to mind as he stopped and stuttered on his next words.

"Y-you think so?" Li Jun seemed scared for a moment before Lao responded.

"I could be wrong though." He chuckled and then looked down at Haru who had drifted from the conversation. He stood still and his mind began to ponder about what he had heard earlier.

Jasper's voice called out to him from nowhere and told him not to go back before he screamed out in pain. Since they were talking about something ominous it seemed like the right time to bring it to their attention.

"Uhm…" Haru stopped for a moment since Lao and Li jun were talking back and forth.

"What is it?" Li Jun's attention switched when he heard the hesitation in Haru's voice.

"Well… When I went to the soul tempering grounds. I met an elven man called Jasper Waldon. He seemed to be a descendant of a god or something like that." Haru stated mindlessly while trying to phrase his question.

"Oh… Would you look at that, You're student is making connections with that woman's descendants." Lao laughed at what Haru had just said.

"You know his ancestor?" Haru asked surprised. He knew that Li Jun was powerful but he didn't know he was powerful enough to meet with gods.

"You could say that…" Li Jun sighed and then looked back to Lao with a look of disappointment.

"What? You don't want your disciple to find out about all the women you have slept with." Lao laughed again while Li Jun stood there unmoving.

"Even so. I can't believe she became a god. I will have to congratulate her. But go on tell me more. What happened?" He muttered for a moment and then demanded to know more as he could see it was bothering Haru.

"Well… Earlier I heard his voice in my head. It was like his voice was bouncing around my brain." Haru said and then looked back at Lao who had more to say.

"Soul Communication? I thought all the pillars for soul communication had been destroyed?" He looked at Li Jun with a questioning glare.

"No, There still on of them left standing. Even the divine sword sect couldn't manage to invade that place. How would it have been destroyed?" Li Jun said with a smile.

"You mean the soul tempering ground? Haru what did he say?" Lao asked Haru to further explain what he had heard.

"He said "Luo Yang… If you are hearing this, DON'T come back to…" And then his voice cut off after he screamed out in pain." Haru explained.

As soon as he finished Li Jun looked at Lao and started to rub his chin.

"Could a force have invaded the soul tempering grounds? I don't think that the leaders would have done anything to piss off a strong force. Even if they did no one in their right mind would attack those peace-loving hermits." Li Jun said and then went back to Haru for more information.

"What was the situation like there?" He asked.
