"I never expected this. Everything is completely different from what I anticipated, and it's not at all like what the leader of that alliance described. I'm so disappointed. My soul won't last much longer, and there's nothing I can do. Sigh!"
Vankun felt utterly disheartened after witnessing the situation with the dragon clan. He spoke to Huo Feng within, expressing his sorrow and helplessness to Seven Star Spirit.
At this moment, Seven Star Spirit no longer teased Vankun. Instead, there was a hint of sympathy in their voice as they said, "Perhaps their current state is a result of what humans did to them years ago. You don't need to worry too much; there's still this child."
Vankun sighed and replied, "Sigh! I thought the same, but just look at their strength compared to this child’s. The gap is too vast. Take that Dragon Emperor and the Four Elders, for instance. The Dragon Emperor has reached the initial level of Yin-Yang Thunder Calamity, while the Four Elders have all attained the advanced level of Yin Thunder Tribulation. In fact, some are even at the higher levels of Yin Thunder Tribulation. Meanwhile, Huo Feng has only just entered the initial stage of Blazing Flame Calamity. They could wipe this child out with just a flick of their claws."
Seven Star Spirit disagreed, saying, "Look at this child's mother. She will definitely stand by this child’s side. Moreover, she possesses intermediate strength in Yin-Yang Thunder Calamity, and I believe she is on the verge of breaking through to the advanced level."
After a pause, Seven Star Spirit continued, "I actually have an idea that might seem cruel to you, but it could allow you to leave without regrets."
"Go ahead and say it. I never thought that the once carefree me would feel sentimental over such matters. Have I really lost my temper in that damned place?" If one could see Vankun's expression at that moment, they would clearly recognize his deep melancholy.
After a long silence from Seven Star Spirit, during which Vankun did not interrupt, Seven Star Spirit finally spoke up: "Please don’t get angry with me. As for whether or not to do this, you can decide for yourself; what I want is for you to use your soul power to modify this child's Dragon Statue, allowing him to absorb the stored Origin Force more quickly. At the same time, he will be able to draw upon the Origin Force from the Dragon Statue without harming himself."
Once Seven Star Spirit finished speaking, there was an eerie silence. After a while, Vankun suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Perhaps you’re right; this might actually work. Having spent so much time with this child, I absolutely trust his character. Plus, with his mother around, I believe he will ultimately bring a bright future for the dragon clan. Alright then, let’s do it! But from now on, you won’t have anyone to bicker with anymore. Hahaha..."
With that, Vankun lifted the restrictions on Huo Feng's soul. Instantly, Huo Feng regained consciousness but was still trying to adjust when he felt a hand gently playing with his hair—warm and accompanied by a faint fragrance.
However, Huo Feng also sensed an extremely familiar aura nearby. Through various cues, he realized it was evidently a woman. Though he felt a sense of familiarity, he couldn't determine if she was friend or foe. Suddenly alert, he opened his eyes wide and sat up abruptly.
At that moment, Huo Feng saw a beautiful woman in white clothing squatting beside him. The sudden awakening startled Long Xiang, causing her to retract her hand nervously as she stared blankly at Huo Feng, her eyes still filled with affection.
Looking at Long Xiang, Huo Feng felt an even stronger sense of familiarity—as if he had known her before. His mind raced through memories like a documentary; finally, he recalled that she was the one who had saved his life and had appeared in his heart as an illusion along with her voice.
With trembling voice, Huo Feng said, "You... your mother..."
Huo Feng was overwhelmed with tears upon hearing the trembling yet somewhat raw voice of Long Xiang, his mother. He suddenly embraced her tightly, choking back his emotions as he said, "My child, I am your mother. I’m sorry for not being by your side. I thought I would never see you again."
Huo Feng had a strong sense that the beautiful woman before him was indeed his mother, but when he received confirmation from her, he was still unable to calm down. He stood there in a daze, allowing Long Xiang to hold him.
After a long while, Huo Feng finally regained his composure and wrapped his arms around Long Xiang tightly. Tears streamed down his face, soaking her shoulder and wetting her clothes. He opened his mouth as if to say something or to call out "Mother," but no words came out.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, with only their tears painting a poignant picture of their reunion that felt all too real.
After a moment more, Huo Feng's emotions settled somewhat, and he finally spoke up, "Mother! I once thought that because of me, you died right after I was born. I hated myself for it and felt guilty towards Father for taking you away from him."
Long Xiang also calmed down considerably. She pushed Huo Feng back gently and held his shoulders, looking at him with affection as she observed the tears still flowing down his cheeks. She reached out to wipe away his tears and said softly, "Silly child, it's not your fault. There was indeed an anomaly when you were born, and I was so weak that I was on the verge of death. However, your grandfather—my father—sensed it and helped shield me from that calamity, but it forced him to take me away."
Long Xiang's expression then turned extremely helpless as she continued, "Later on, many things happened in the Dragon Domain, so after I recovered, I had no choice but to stay here. You must believe me; I have always wanted to see you and your father."
Huo Feng nodded vigorously, choking back tears as he replied, "I believe you. It's just that Father has suffered; he has always thought you were gone."
At that moment, Long Xiang seemed to remember something suddenly. "Oh right, my child! In my excitement, I forgot to ask what your name is. How is your father doing? Is he well?"
"My name is Huo Feng," he replied. However, upon mentioning his father Huo Lianqing, Huo Feng's expression turned somber. "Father has missed you dearly. It's my fault for not taking care of him properly. You know about the Frost Dragon? There’s a Frost Dragon on that continent with a half-dragon body like mine. His growth has been much more tragic than mine; thus, both he and his father have become quite strange in their thinking. They attempted to seize my Dragon Blood to strengthen themselves and destroy the dragon clan to bring back his mother. They captured Father to threaten me; Father chose to commit suicide for my sake... then..."
Upon hearing that Huo Lianqing had committed suicide for Huo Feng's sake, Long Xiang immediately interrupted him in agitation, her voice hoarse as she shouted, "Your father is dead? Lianqing actually died? I didn’t even get to see him one last time!"
At this point, Long Xiang stood up in excitement and began to sway unsteadily. Fearing for her safety, Huo Feng quickly stood up and said, "Mother, let me finish! Father is not dead; I used my abilities to save him just before he committed suicide."
Hearing this from Huo Feng calmed Long Xiang significantly. She turned to look at him and asked anxiously, "Really? Then where is your father now?"
Huo Feng nodded and continued, "Father is indeed alive; he should be under the care of my teacher now. I'm very worried about him too. But that Frost Dragon chose a self-destructive approach against me; at the last moment, I inexplicably ended up here."
"Let’s go find your father right now," Long Xiang said resolutely as she stepped forward and took Huo Feng's hand to remove the 'Dragon Spine Gold.'
At that moment, a white dragon-shaped phantom appeared beside Huo Feng. Long Xiang was taken aback and immediately asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you inside my son?"
Huo Feng quickly replied to Long Xiang, "Mother, don't be nervous. This is Venerable Fan, the ancestor of the Dragon Clan."
Long Xiang looked at Huo Feng with skepticism. At this time, Vankun spoke up, "You probably don't know me. I died the moment you were born."
Vankun then recounted what he had told Huo Feng before and said to Huo Feng and Long Xiang, "This child’s father is fine, but he is indeed seriously injured. However, even if you go to him now, he won't recover anytime soon. There is something more important that this child needs to resolve; the Dragon Clan is currently facing a significant problem that you should be aware of. Only this child can solve or improve it."
Huo Feng felt as if he had misheard and pointed to himself, saying, "Me?"
Long Xiang also expressed disbelief, saying, "Absolutely not! Since you are the ancestor of the Dragon Clan, you should be able to solve this problem. Moreover, my son’s strength is still far too lacking. Those fellows outside want to kill him; how could he possibly become the savior of the Dragon Clan? I will never agree to this."
Ignoring Vankun, Long Xiang grabbed Huo Feng's hand and said, "Son, let's go find your father."
However, Long Xiang noticed that her son stood there motionless. She turned around in confusion and looked at Huo Feng, then said, "Child, do you know what strength I currently possess? The distribution of power within the entire Dragon Clan? I am currently at the intermediate level of Yin-Yang Thunder Calamity. Your grandfather is at the beginner level of Yin-Yang Thunder Calamity. The Four Elders are all at the advanced level of Yin Thunder Tribulation. Below them are twenty who are at the beginner and intermediate levels of Yin Thunder Tribulation, and there are over fifty at the advanced level of Blazing Flame Calamity. These are completely beyond what you can resist. Even if I help you, it would be useless and only exacerbate internal conflicts."
Huo Feng pushed Long Xiang's hand away and looked seriously into her eyes, saying, "Mother, I know you are particularly worried about the survival of the Dragon Clan; otherwise, you would have gone to find me and father long ago. There are relatives and friends of yours here. If I can do something about it, I will definitely not refuse. So I want to hear what Venerable Fan has to say."
