The golden dragon hovered in the air and looked down at Chu Li, feeling his changes.
It was very curious about Chu Li's secret skill and wanted to see how he could ripen the Sky Dragon Fruit to see if Chu Li was bragging. If so, even if he was a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain, he would not be courteous. He would be buried here and his soul would not be able to leave.
After a while, it suddenly floated back and stopped a hundred meters away.
It felt the power of age and the passage of time.
The energy of time was one of the strongest energies in the world. It was invisible, traceless, and extremely difficult to detect. It killed without leaving a trace. Even though it was slow, it was unavoidable. Once it was sped up, its might could shake the heavens and the earth and obliterate the world.
There was no eternity in the world. Nothing could escape the attack of the power of age. Chu Li had mastered it. It was terrifying. Even if he had to pay the price of burning his lifespan, it would be worth it if he could use it well.
It looked at Chu Li with a solemn gaze and no longer looked down on him.
The Sky Dragon Tree did not change, but the Sky Dragon Fruit did. Its color changed from white to green, then to green, then to red, then to purple, and finally to gold.
The golden dragon could only watch helplessly as it underwent such a drastic change in just a few short days.
A few days was just a short time in its eyes. It thought it was magical.
Of course, Chu Li also changed along with the color of the Sky Dragon Fruit. His hair changed from black to gray, then white, then to snow white. He changed from a young man to an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion.
The golden Sky Dragon Fruit started to shine brighter and brighter, turning from gold to white.
Its light was like the sun rising from morning to noon. The changes after that matched the setting sun. The Sky Dragon Fruit's light became red, then rose red, and finally disappeared.
The Sky Dragon Fruit turned dark gold. When there was no more light, they floated away from the Sky Dragon Tree and landed on the ground silently like feathers.
They were as light as feathers but were not blown away by the howling wind. They landed firmly on the ground.
The golden dragon beckoned with one of its claws, and a golden fruit immediately flew up and floated into its claw.
Chu Li opened his eyes and golden light shot out.
The golden dragon said, "What an amazing Art of Time!"
Chu Li reached out and picked up the dark golden fruit. It was as smooth as jade and as light as a feather. If he did not feel its warmth in his hand, he would have thought that it did not exist.
The golden dragon said, "After consuming this, you will sleep for ten years. When you wake up, you will become a golden dragon."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
The golden dragon sized him up and said, "Ten years. Don't you feel disappointed?"
"Ten years isn't that long, right?" Chu Li asked.
This time, the golden dragon finally believed Chu Li's words a little. It was true that he was not being utilitarian. He was only doing this for his companions.
This made it accept Chu Li a little. Once again, it said in Chu Li's mind, "Take the Dragon Seal. This time, I've gotten your Sky Dragon Fruit, so I owe you a favor. With this Dragon Seal, anyone can come here. I'll help you once, even if I have to go to the Outland to kill."
Chu Li did not stand on ceremony and gave a fist salute. "Thank you."
"Come up," said the Golden Dragon.
Chu Li glided away from the cliff. After he sat on the golden dragon, he glanced at the Sky Dragon Tree and suppressed the thought of breaking a branch.
He realized that the environment in which the Sky Dragon Tree grew was extremely harsh. It was born from the essence of a dragon. Without the essence of a dragon, it was impossible for it to survive. Even the Life and Death Scripture was useless.
The golden dragon suddenly sped up. Suddenly, the feeling of being crushed by a mountain came again. After a while, it disappeared and they returned to the vast sea.
Chu Li floated into the air and gave a fist salute. "Senior, I'll take my leave then!"
"Go." The golden dragon leaped down and immediately dived into the sea and disappeared.
Chu Li stood in the void and looked at the sea. He shook his head and suddenly appeared at the Hundred-Thousand Hills' ice pool.
He had already changed back to his original appearance. With a thought, after a quarter of an hour, the purple dragon appeared in front of him.
Chu Li tossed the Sky Dragon Fruit to it and let it eat it.
The purple dragon did not ask any questions and immediately swallowed the Sky Dragon Fruit. Before it could say a few words, it had already fallen into a deep sleep in the ice pool.
The Black Spirit Tortoise floated in the air and nodded knowingly. It knew that it had to stand guard here and then dived into the ice pool.
Chu Li did not wait for the little Vermillion Bird to find him and suddenly disappeared.

On a lingering drizzle, Chu Li returned to his residence in Drizzle City.
Chu Li knew why this place was called Drizzle City.
Because this kind of lingering drizzle was very common. The weather was like this for half a year.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Wen Yi came over.
The two sat in a gazebo in the backyard and chatted while admiring the rain.
"Congratulations, Brother Chu." Wen Yi put down his teacup and smiled. "You've mastered the Heavenly Scroll of Indifference."
Chu Li said, "I was just lucky. It was a flash of inspiration."
"This is an opportunity." Wen Yi said, "Also, I have to congratulate Brother Chu for becoming the Ninth Princess' Inner Protector."
Chu Li was stunned. "Inner Protector?"
Wen Yi said, "This is a position that many brothers in front of the palace want, but it has fallen into your hands, Brother Chu!"
Chu Li shook his head. "I wonder what's going on with this Inner Protector?"
"From today onwards, you don't have to go to the front of the palace anymore. You can go directly to the Ninth Princess' Residence." Wen Yi said, "The Inner Scribe is the Ninth Princess' Personal Protector. They are on duty in the Ninth Princess' Residence. Once the Ninth Princess goes out, they will be the Protector in the innermost circle, guarding the last checkpoint."
Chu Li slowly nodded. "I'm indebted to the Ninth Princess for thinking so highly of me."
He knew what Xue Luoyu was thinking. She was actively trying to win him over and use his strength to become the Hall Leader. Although this path was difficult, it was rewarding. It was more reliable than becoming the Hall Leader himself.
Wen Yi smiled. "The Ninth Princess was very perceptive. She brought Brother Chu to participate in the Indifference Sword Meet. Otherwise, Brother Chu wouldn't have mastered the Heavenly Scroll of Indifference. It's a good story."
Chu Li nodded.
Through this incident, he had completely become Xue Luoyu's man. Without a doubt, everyone would think that Xue Luoyu had recognized him.
Wen Yi said, "The Ninth Princess is wise and capable. She may become the Hall Leader."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled.
It seemed that Wen Yi was also one of Xue Luoyu's supporters.
Wen Yi looked at his smile and knew that he understood what he meant. The two of them were on the same side.
Chu Li asked, "Brother Wen, after I become the Ninth Princess's Protector, will I still go to the foreign battlefield?"
Wen Yi smiled. "If the Ninth Princess goes, Brother Chu will go too. If she doesn't, Brother Chu can't just leave her and go alone, right?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly.
Wen Yi took a sip of tea, looked at the drizzle outside, and slowly said, "If the Ninth Princess wants to achieve her goal, she needs enough merit points, and the foreign battlefields are the best place to do so. Brother Chu, you don't need to worry, there will be a chance to kill Asura."
The hatred between Chu Li and the Asura was known to everyone in the Rain Master Palace.
Chu Li smiled.
Wen Yi said, "Brother Chu, although the Ninth Princess is a woman, her passion is not inferior to a man's. Moreover, the Ninth Princess's temper is … In short, you must be careful and not offend her. Otherwise …"
He shook his head as he spoke.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you, Brother Wen."
Wen Yi smiled. "We won't be strangers in the future. It's only right to help each other."
"Brother Wen, do you have a chance to become an Inner Protector?" Chu Li asked.
Wen Yi shook his head. "The Ninth Princess usually chooses female Protectors. Brother Chu, you're the only male Protector."
