Cultivation Online Chapter 1685 Sworn Brothers

Chapter 1685 Sworn Brothers

A deafening silence filled the area for a good moment after Yuan spoke, with the Seven Dragon Monarchs staring at him with wide eyes filled with disbelief.

"I like your enthusiasm, Yuan, but I don’t want to injure you before the Dragon God Festival. After all, I don’t want to hear any excuses when you lose to me," said Long Wu Qing.

Her words shocked the others more than Yuan’s words.

’That crazy bitch is declining a fight?! I didn’t know she was even capable of that!’ Hellfire Dragon cried inwardly.

"But I can’t bear to watch you beat my friend any longer." Yuan sighed.

Long Wu Qing glanced at Long Yejun for a brief moment before releasing him.

"Consider yourself lucky, little brother."

She approached Yuan and continued, "Don’t think we won’t fight. We’ll do it the moment the Dragon God Festival is over."

"I am looking forward to it."

Long Wu Qing left the scene shortly after.

"I didn’t want to show you such a pathetic sight, Brother Yuan." Long Yejun approached him a moment later.

Despite his resilient body, the wounds caused by Long Wu Qing didn’t recover normally, as if there was something preventing him from healing.

The same could be said for the others, too.

"Don’t say that." Yuan shook his head.

"I can’t believe you came out of the Infinite Spiraling Abyss with her. My heart stopped for a second back there."

"She saved my life." "How unexpected..." Long Yejun mumbled.

"By the way, what happened to you inside the Infinite Spiraling Abyss? Why do you smell like a human now?"

"Oh..."

It was at this moment that Yuan realized he forgot to transform back to his dragon form. However, considering that his true identity has been revealed to Long Wu Qing, it would only be a matter of time before it was revealed to everyone else. "Actually, I am human." Yuan decided to reveal his true identity.

"What...?" Long Yejun’s eyes widened with immense shock.

"I apologize for deceiving you until now, but I am not one of Dragon God’s descendants."

"W-why would you...?"

"I have my reasons..." he sighed.

Long Yejun lowered his head and fell silent, seemingly in deep thoughts.

"I see... so you were human from the start..."

When Long Yejun lifted his head and showed his expression again, it was filled with excitement and admiration.

"I can’t believe a human has conquered the Baneful Dragon’s Poisonous Swamp, the Sky Splitting Dragon’s Tribulation, and even survived the Infinite Spiraling Abyss! Hahaha!" He laughed so hard tears began forming in his eyes.

"Hey, although we’re not real brothers, can I still call you Brother? I’ve grown accustomed to it, and it wouldn’t feel right if I changed it now."

Yuan nodded, "Of course."

The realization that Yuan was a human began to set in for the others, their faces filled with shock, some with disdain.

"Master Yuan is a human...? That explains his godlike smithing techniques! The art of smithing was originally humans to begin with!" Refined Obsidian Dragon muttered to himself.

"A human? A human conquered my playground?" The Baneful Dragon wore a look of disbelief on his face.

The Sky Splitting Dragon had a similar reaction.

Long Meihui’s eyes were sparkling with admiration.

The Hellfire Dragon and Eternal Frost Dragon glared at Yuan with disdain in their eyes.

The Abyssal Dragon remained silent.

"Though, I must admit that I am disappointed." Long Yejun suddenly continued with a weak smile, "You have taught and given me the experience of what it’s like to have a little brother. Now I have to face the reality that I might never have a little brother."

"Although I cannot be your real brother, we can still be brothers. In the human world, we have the concept known as sworn brothers. While they are not real brothers, they treat each other as one."

"What a wonderful concept! Let’s be sworn brothers!" Yuan nodded with a smile.

However, a voice filled with power and authority abruptly resounded, "Who said you can’t be real brothers?"

Yuan suddenly sensed a powerful presence behind one, one that surpassed even Long Wu Qing. However, it wasn’t tyrannical and oppressive as hers.

Yuan turned around to see a handsome man with long golden hair and golden eyes hovering behind him.

"Dragon God!" Long Yejun hastily lowered his head after recognizing the man.

The others followed suit.

"Dragon God?" Yuan muttered.

"Indeed. I am your fatheror so you claimed." The Dragon God spoke with a smile that appeared threatening to Yuan for some reason.

Perhaps it was because of his guilt for taking on the identity as one of the Dragon God’s descendants.

"F-father! Please wait! There’s a good reason that Brother Yuan" Long Yejun hastily tried to come up with an excuse, but the Dragon God sealed his lips with a single glance.

"Brother Yuan, huh? It sure has a nice ring to it." The Dragon God chuckled.

"Relax, I am not cruel enough to punish you for pretending to be my descendant," he continued.

"Oh, really?"

Suddenly, another figure appeared beside the Dragon God.

None of those present, except for Yuan and Yingzi, recognized him. However, they were bewildered that this young man could stand beside the Dragon God as an equal.

’No, he is standing even above the Dragon God!’ Long Yejun noticed this.

"You’re not going to tell him that if I hadn’t stopped you, you would’ve killed him?"

"You dwell too much on the insignificant details, Primal Monarch." The Dragon God shook his head.

"The Primal Monarch?!"

Long Yejun and the others exclaimed in shock.

"W-we greet the Primal Monarch!" They hastily greeted him in a messy fashion.

"You’ve finally decided to show yourself, you old booger."

Long Yejun and the others stared at Yuan with terrified expressions.

"B-Brother Yuan! T-that’s..." Long Yejun tried to warn him, but Yuan interrupted with a smile, "Don’t worry, he’s my old manmy father."

"Y-your father?" Long Yejun looked speechless.

"Yes." Yuan confirmed.
