What an incredible power

The black dragon replied proudly

'' Teacher do you feel like your personality has changed a little lately? It is because the three parts of your soul once again become one.

Even though back then, you split your soul into 3 parts and reincarnated, your desires are all hidden deep within you even after your soul is reunited. In other words, you are not awake. That's the only way I can push your soul's desires and help you wake up.

As for the reason why Master can feel my emotions, since I look at the soul at Master, the two of us can exchange messages with our minds. However, Master is not yet strong enough and you should wait until you reach at least the Spirit Realm before using your soul to directly send out telepathic messages.''

'' Spirit realm? Is it a realm above Heaven grade?''

''The black dragon nodded

''Also, what do you mean by soul character?''

''That means my soul is fixed on your soul, sir. In order for my body to enter the 'Time Stone', my soul must be connected to the master, or 'Time Stone' will reject me otherwise and I will die then.

Teacher, you are my only family and I will make sure to protect you. It's just...''

The dragon was troubled by something and Shun Long clearly sensed it.

''Only?''

''Only I have to restart my cultivation from the beginning so I am very weak now.''

Shun Long was slightly disappointed when he heard that the black dragon was weak. Since he had just started cultivating, he couldn't be stronger than himself right? Maybe around the middle or late stages of condensing qi?!

However, he was not desperate at all.

Instead, Shun Long had a mysterious feeling of intimacy towards this dragon and he could also feel the familial affection that the dragon felt for him.

Shun Long then smiled as he stroked the dragon's head and asked

''Really, what should I call you?''

''Master, you always call me Little Black'' the dragon replied enthusiastically.

''Alright, I will continue to call you that.''

Shun Long nodded before deep in thought

Little Black had to tell the truth, both based on the feeling I got from his soul when speaking earlier, as well as the fact that everything made sense now because I knew the story behind my past.

Although I am not too interested in becoming a god now, I still need to visit that 'Collapse of the Universe' in the future if I want to know more about the origin of the 'Time Stone'. Having fused with my soul and seemingly having no consciousness of its own, I doubt it is something dangerous, but I still should be.

I also need to become stronger to keep myself and my parents safe.

If possible, I should also try to help the little Black to know more about him in the future. It was not logistical if his father tried to kill him once he set foot in the place called the Dragon Realm.

But right now, I am too weak that I cannot even leave the 'floating cloud sect'.

As Shun Long sorted through his thoughts, he said

'' Little Black, for now it is better for you to find yourself and become stronger. The outside is dangerous and even I do not have absolute certainty to stay safe.''

Black Dragon, the little Black looked at Shun Long in a strange way as he said

''Mr. outside is very safe. At least as far as I can feel, there is nothing within 30 miles of your current location that can even match me, let alone pose a threat.''

Shun Long hesitated a little before asking

''Little Black...What is your current strength?''

Little Black thought seriously for a moment before replying

'' Right now I am very weak, much weaker than when I was first born, because the qi I was able to absorb back then cannot compare to the thin qi in this place. If I have to put it into the standard of a magical beast, then I am only a rank 3 magical beast.''

Shun Long took a deep breath when he heard this, but his shock was not over yet

''Although my cultivation is low, I should be able to easily fight a Spirit realm cultivator who is at the middle stage.''

Shun Long was speechless now. Little Black could not send his spiritual power and was only 30 miles around the body, but also a powerhouse who could fight against medium stage Spirit realm cultivators. Shun Long suppressed his shock as he then asked

''Can you sense the remote places near my current location?''

Little Black nodded her head as she replied

''Around 7 miles to the east, there was a small lake with a rank 3 'two-headed fish' inside. There were no magical beasts or humans near the lake.''

Shun Long then followed Little Black's instructions and quickly reached the small lake.

'' Little Black, take care of the 'two-headed fish' then. Also, use your spiritual power to keep watch around the lake. If anyone comes close, whether human or magical beast, let me know.''

''Understand sir.'' Little Black replied as he flew out of Shun Long's body and headed straight for the lake.

Little Black spread out its pitch-black wings as the majestic dragon form was seen diving within the lake, sending enormous air currents into the sky. The dragon looked just as agile in the water as he looked up into the air.

'The 'two-headed fish' watched in horror as the little Black approached him, but in front of a dragon, he could not move at all.

The battle did not happen because the little Black used his sharp claws to instantly tear the fish in half. A shiny blue core fell from the beast's body as the Black grabbed it with its claws and sent it to Shun Long.

Shun Long looked intimately at the rank 3 spirit in full hands, as he put it into his spiritual space.

Then he took a deep breath as he thought

'' I didn't have time before, but it is time to test the first stage of the Eternal King's body''
