Chapter 1325 - 1325: Whatever's Faster

"I want you to help me get my body back! After that, I would be much stronger. And then I should be able to contribute to your search too."

In the Beast World, the Blood Dragon Emperor continued speaking to Zhu Chang to lead him to the Immortal World for help. ;

Since he couldn't convince him to search for Long Chen, he decided on the next best course of action, which was to get stronger so he could better protect himself. ;

"What do you mean? What real body? Is the one you're in not your real body?" Zhu Chang asked. "I mean, I did feel something was odd about you. Are you a soul which is possessing this snake?"

"That's true. I am the Blood Dragon Emperor. My body was sealed a long time ago, and so was my soul. After millions of years, my soul was freed, and I accidentally got trapped in the body of this snake," the Blood Dragon Emperor explained, but he did appear extremely proud as he talked about his identity. ;

"Blood Dragon Emperor? You mean you're from the Dragon Species? Ah, that's right. I remember hearing about that from one of my teachers. Aren't you the weakest members of the Dragon Clan that were banished to the Immortal World for being shamefully weak?" Zhu Chang asked, guessing the identity of the Blood Dragon Emperor ;

"So you were the last generation's leader of that Weak Clan? I mean, that's not bad, but not something to be proud of either," He continued, smiling.

"Don't remind me about that history!" The Blood Dragon Emperor rolled his eyes. "It doesn't change the fact that we are still dragons. We might not be Heavenly Beasts, but we're still the closest to the Heavenly Beasts amongst all others!" ;

"Not actually. I mean, even amongst our Black Tortoise Species, we have a few clans that aren't Heavenly Beast Clans, but they're certainly strong enough to be kept in the Heavenly Realm. It's the same case for the other Heavenly Beast Clans," Zhu Chang replied.

"So it would be better to say that those Clans are the closest to the Heavenly Beast Clans in terms of proximity as well as strength, despite the strength gap being too big," he added. ;

"I suppose it would also be better to say that you are one of the strongest beasts in the Mortal World. Yeah, that would be much closer," he further continued. ;

"Are you ever going to stop insulting me?" Blood Dragon Emperor asked.

"Insulting? That's wrong. I'm not insulting you. Instead, I'm just stating the truth and helping you so you could introduce yourself better in the future," Zhu Chang explained. ;

"Anyway, doesn't that also mean that you're not a tamed beast of Long Chen? That would also mean that you were lying to me?" he asked, frowning. "Is that why you were talking about leaving Long Chen behind? So that wasn't a test, was it?"

The Blood Dragon Emperor found his back against the wall with the questions. In his mind, he started cursing Zhu Chang for talking to him like that. Why was he asking so many tough questions? ;

"What nonsense are you stating? I didn't mean it like that. I might not actually be his Tamed beast, but he's still my friend! Also, why else would I suggest coming with you? I really want to save him!" The Blood Dragon Emperor stated. ;

"Is that so?" Zhu Chang asked, smirking. Even though he believed that the Blood Dragon Emperor was trying to fool him, he played along. "Alright. Let's get your body back first. And then we'll go to the Heaven to release that idiot who was stupid enough to touch that box without knowing what it was!"

"Good, let me create the Portal Formation. It's finally time for us to leave this hell-hole and get me my body!"

"Portal Formation? Didn't I tell you that I can't use those? The formation will break apart with my aura. We can't use that," Zhu Chang responded. ;

"Then what shall we do?" Blood Dragon Emperor asked. "Oh right. I know. How about I go there alone, get my body and come back? Then we can go to Heaven together?" ;

"Hahaha, let you go alone?" Zhu Chang burst into laughter.

He knew that the Blood Dragon Emperor was never going to return after getting his body. He was going to hide somewhere so he could never be found. It was clear that he was just pretending to be worried about Long Chen because he was scared that he would be killed otherwise. ;

"I'm not letting you go alone. I'm coming with you too," he added.

"And how will you come? You said the formations don't work!" Blood Dragon Emperor responded. ;

"So? Do you think we Heavenly Beasts use a formation like that? Zhu Chang asked, smirking.

"You mean you'll use the device you used to come here?" Blood Dragon Emperor asked. ;

"I know it must be charged since you said it takes two days, but so what? Suppose we used it to go to the Immortal World; we'll again have to wait for two days there before you can get that thing working again! So it's better if I go alone!"

"I can go and get my body in a few hours. And we can use that Artifact of yours to go to the Immortal World directly. It's much faster!"

Zhu Chang shook his head, smiling. ;

"Don't worry Kiddo. You don't have to be concerned about the time limit. That only applies to Mortal Worlds since it takes much of its power to escort me there. But it's not the case for the Immortal World or the Heavenly World. There I don't have to restrict my powers, so it's easier."

"We don't need to delay," he continued. "We can also use the methods that the Heavenly Beasts use and simply fly to the Immortal World. But I don't like that method since it'll waste a lot of precious time of mine. And I don't have a tamed beast either. So it'll suck. The shortcut is much better!" he stated. ;

He raised his hands in the direction of the Blood Dragon Emperor. "So drop the idea of that formation and come in my hands!"

The Blood Dragon cursed in his head even louder as he became smaller and sat on the hands of Zhu Chang.

Zhu Chang used his Artifact and disappeared from the Beast World. ;

At the same time, he appeared in the Beast World at an unknown location. ;

"Now tell me. Where is your body?" Zhu Chang asked. "Can you sense it?"
