The Flashback
25 years ago.
Zhiliang Empire was shocked that their crown prince Yan Long had broken through to the peak Nescent Soul realm at the age of 21.
In addition he also decided to create his own army which he named the dragon army.
However, as he formed an army of dragons many rumors came out that said he wanted to carry out a rebellion.
But the rumor was immediately broken with another rumor saying that he would remain emperor anyway, and intended to make no more troops to protect the empire.
After that they were surprised by the achievements of Yan Long with his dragon army that managed to win every war against the Hongyun empire which at that time was in conflict with the Zhiliang empire.
And because of that achievement also made Hongyun empire reluctant to make a backlash to Zhiliang empire.
And from that moment the name Yan Long increasingly soared along with his dragon army. This strengthened his position as crown prince.
However, to his surprise he chose to decide on his crown son's title and hand it over to his younger brother Yan Zhong.
And preferred to focus on cultivating and increasing his strength.
...
Inside a cave located somewhere in the dragon. The appearance of Yan Long who could be said to have been cultivating for quite a long time, could be seen from his already grown face a very thick beard and mustache.
Yan Long then opened his eyes and walked out of the cave. Outside the cave he saw two of his twelve generals guarding the cave where he was training.
They were the second strongest first rank dragon general after Yan Long and the third strongest second rank dragon general.
While his two generals upon seeing him out immediately saluted him.
" The dragon commander "
" The dragon commander "
Say both of them while kneeling.
" How long have I been shutting myself down ? "
Asked Yan Long.
" It's been almost three months Commander "
Answer the dragon general *1
Upon hearing the answer from his dragon window Yan Long became grim and felt annoyed.
" Fuck, it's been training for so long but I still haven't shown any signs of a breakthrough "
Yan Long said in annoyance.
Yan Long felt extremely furious that it had been almost for 2 years that he had been continuously restrained with his cultivation base which was still a stage 3 Ensoulment realm.
" Commander recently I heard of a treasure that might help you break through "
Said the dragon general *2
Hearing this, of course, Yan Long was surprised and also of course he was happy and became excited.
" Tell me where the treasure is ? "
Yan Long enthusiastically asked the existence of the treasure to the dragon general.
" From the news that I heard the treasure was on the island of fog "
Said the dragon general *2.
" The fog island. I heard that place was overrun by a powerful monster that possessed a stage 5 Ensoulment realm "
Yan Long.
The dragon general*2 simply nodded his head in response to Yan Long's words.
" For the size of a monster it was shocking that he was able to break through to the 5th stage of the Ensoulment realm "
Said Yan Long while holding his chin.
In the mortal realm it was indeed difficult to find a monster that could break through the Ensoulment realm. Even if there is, the mondter is likely to live in a secret realm.
Unlike the divine beasts and demonic beasts which certainly have better talent and luck than monsters and of course in terms of intelligence as well.
" Alright it's decided, you guys immediately prepare all the needs. And tomorrow we'll leave for the island of fog "
Yan Long.
The two nodded their heads simultaneously obeying Yan Long's orders.
Meanwhile, in a place that will be their destination tomorrow.

The sound of footsteps of a man who was running in haste tried to escape from the pursuit of several black figures behind him.
It looked as if the woman was running with pain all over her body that was already covered with wounds.
And the black figures chasing him stopped in front of the ravine while looking down at the woman fell.
" Do we keep chasing him ? "
Ask one of the figures to the other who seems to be the leader of the black figure.
" Don't let it go, we've been chasing it for almost a year, and it seems like nature can't accept us anymore "
Said the leader of the black figure while picking up a large piece of rock and dropping it.
Seemed after dropping the large chunk he brought his ears closer to the abyss.
" With the depth of this abyss, he would certainly not have survived with the condition of a severely injured body "
He said as he walked away from the ravine and was followed by another black figure.
...
Next day.
Yan Long and his two generals set off on a golden profound ark they named the dragon profound ark.
They crossed the sky of the dragon continent and passed through the blue sea. Finally can be directly faced with the island of fog.
Mist island, an island shrouded by thick fog is white with a slight grayish color.
The profound ark moved into the fog island and disappeared within the thick fog.
Within that thick fog, the profound ark Yan Long continued to walk into the island deeper.
" Where exactly is the existence of the treasure ? "
Yan Long asked the dragon general who told him about the previous treasure.
" I don't know exactly the commander. I just heard the treasure is somewhere on this island "
Said the dragon general *2.
Yan Long simply nodded his head in response to the words of his dragon general. Then he looked all over the island like he had a feeling.
" Everybody is avoiding "
Shouted Yan Long, he got a feeling and a sense it was a danger.
Brakkkk
A huge black bird-shaped monster lunged and destroyed their profound ark.
Yan Long and his two generals were shocked. They were unprepared and successfully hit by the attack as a result their profound ark was also destroyed.
However they quickly stabilized their bodies and floated in the air. However, the big bird came back to attack them.
Since the bird was covered with a thick fog plus a bird it was the monster that had the cultivation base of a stage 5 Ensoulment realm.
Of course, the three easily managed to get hit by the attack released by the big bird and caused the three of them to fall in the same abyss as the previous woman.
...
Yan Long who had fainted after falling into the abyss that was indeed deep enough began to open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes he found himself currently inside a cave. And in the cave, besides himself, he also saw a woman who looked to her back.
It appeared after that the woman started to turn around and upon discovering Yan Long had realized she was smiling and started to spit out words to Yan Long.
" You've realized that you're hungry, I'm making soup. Do you want to ? "
The woman said as she offered Yan Long a bowl of soup.
While Yan Long was still speechless knowing after the woman turned around. It turns out that she has a very beautiful face like a goddess of heaven.
" Hey "
The woman moved her five fingers in front of Yan Long's face and made the man regain consciousness.
Upon awakening from his daydream Yan Long immediately received the soup cup offered by the man and immediately ate it in haste.
Either he was starving or embarrassed to think he was admiring the woman's face.
After seeing Yan Long who was eating voraciously. The woman also took him a bowl of soup and began to eat it.
On the sidelines of their meal time, Yan Long emboldened himself and asked the woman.
" What's your name ? "
Chirp Yan Long without saying thank you first.
" My name is Ning Quinshu, what about you ? "
The woman asked Yan Long.
" My name is Yan Long "
Yan Long.
