Dragon Tamer

Chapter 522: Chapter 524: A New Force Suddenly Arises
 

Mentally, Zhu Minglang has always been exceptional.

Of course, the main reason is that he now has enough confidence that even if some overly powerful beings appear, he himself has the strength to deal with them.

There is hope that both the Refining Ash Black Dragon and the Azure Phoenix Azure Dragon that could ascend to be Dragon Kings, along with the Sword Spirit Dragon and the Heavenly Slaughter Dragon, and also Little White, who has yet to awaken from its slumber and transform.

The longer Little White lies dormant, the more unpredictable its metamorphosis becomes.

He was curious to see whether the influence brought about by the World Dragon Gate would accelerate faster, or his own improvements.

He almost forgot, there’s also the Nuwa Dragon, a being that possesses a divine destiny, and he believed that the Nuwa Dragons of the past could stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods themselves.

“Perhaps the World Dragon Gate is also an opportunity for all the beings on the continent; if even the most ordinary crops gain a certain spiritual energy, then those naturally precious and beneficial spiritual items will become even more extraordinary. Now everyone is converging towards Li Chuan, presumably taking advantage of this world-changing event to achieve their own leaps,” said Zhu Minglang.

In Zhu Minglang’s view, the emergence of the World Dragon Gate isn’t entirely a bad thing. If there really was a Demon God in the World Dragon Gate capable of wiping out this continent with a single palm, then there’d be no need to bless this land with special divine grace, letting everything grow rapidly and allowing all spirits to enjoy the benefits…

The strong can become even stronger in this environment!

What Zhu Minglang needed was exactly that; each dragon possesses infinite potential, which would be difficult to realize in a world extremely lacking in resources.

Since it is unknown, then explore and grasp it while walking on. Perhaps in the near future, even more terrifying beings will appear, but seizing this opportunity brought by the World Dragon Gate to continuously become stronger would never be a problem.

Zhu Minglang changed the subject and began talking to Li Yunzi about some interesting experiences he had in the Neon Sea.

Li Yunzi listened seriously, as if these matters far from disputes could soothe her emotions.

“Would you like a cup of tea?” Li Yunzi asked.

“Not thirsty,” he said.

“I want to drink,” said Li Yunzi.

“Then drink,” Zhu Minglang replied.

Li Yunzi gave him an annoyed look, gesturing to Zhu Minglang’s large wolf-like paw.

“Oh, oh…” Zhu Minglang then let go of Li Yunzi’s soft, jade-like hand, which was initially icy cold but had now warmed up.

“I’ve collected some things for you, which should help Little White’s growth,” said Li Yunzi.

As Li Chuan is a nation, naturally a large number of spiritual items are born amongst the people every month. Li Yunzi remembered that Little White needed Heavenly Cicada Crystal Essence, so during her campaigns, she also instructed her subordinates to pay attention to such rare celestial essences as much as possible.

“Um…” Zhu Minglang scratched his head.

Although there were no people around, he suddenly felt as if a label of being a kept man had unexpectedly been slapped on him!

Zhu Minglang didn’t refuse, after all, they were all family now.

Little White should be about to wake up, the Heavenly Essence can replenish its nutrients very well.

“A tribe of demon people has appeared in Ancient Mountain, and the Imperial Dynasty hopes that I will dispatch troops to subdue them, to clear the way for all Cultivators. This time it is a combined effort of the rulers and the ones in power… Ancient Mountain is the place most influenced by the World Dragon Gate. It has become a dangerous area, but it is said that The Millennial Spiritual Flower was also born there,” Li Yunzi continued.

“Only your Army Guard?” Zhu Minglang asked somewhat puzzled.

If it was requested by the Imperial Dynasty, then they should send the Imperial Dynasty’s Supreme Court army. The foreign tribes have always been a primary target for the Imperial Dynasty to eradicate.

“Yes, not just Ancient Mountain. A civilization was discovered on an island within Hidden Fog Island; they call themselves the Divine Bird people and possess a kind of sorcery that can control flocks of birds. In Wutu City State, the populace of several mining cities has been preyed upon by these flocks of birds.”

“To our very north, at the source of the Li Chuan River—North Utmost Ridge. There has always been a city state known as Absolute Ridge City. In the past, they were almost completely cut off from all the other city states of Li Chuan. But this emergence of the World Dragon Gate seems to have brought about tremendous change for them. They have an army, the Giant Ridge Soldiers, who are incredibly strong and indestructible. The Flying Dragon Battalion has lost a commander in clashes with them,” Li Yunzi said.

Ancient Mountain, Hidden Fog Island, North Utmost Ridge—these all existed in Li Chuan independently, without adjoining the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent.

The Ancient Mountain is located in the Void Sea, and only in certain specific seasons, when the Void Sea’s waters recede, is it possible to set foot in those mysterious mountains.

Hidden Fog Island is even more mysterious. It is said to be an island floating in fog. The Nothingness Fog is clearly more terrible than the most violent poisons in the world, so how can they survive in this fog?

As for North Utmost Ridge, they should be more backward than Li Chuan. It is a very distant city state that Li Yunzi, even after uniting all the city states of Li Chuan, couldn’t be bothered to meddle with. The armies of Absolute Ridge are unable to cross it, and similarly, their armies would find it difficult to reach Li Chuan.

Due to the appearance of the World Dragon Gate, not only Li Chuan Continent but also the surrounding territories have been affected. Unexpectedly, the largest beneficiary turned out to be an isolate Absolute Ridge Chengbang…

And this very Chengbang, after gaining strength, actually came to invade the territories of Li Chuan!

“What is the stance of the forces in power?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“This time it’s a joint extermination operation. Your Zhu Gate and Yaoshan Sword Sect will participate, and of course, there are also those major forces that have gradually partitioned the city state territories; they will join my Army Guard in the campaign,” Li Yunzi said.

After taking a sip of tea and moistening her lips, Li Yunzi continued to Zhu Minglang, “The World Dragon Gate is a huge unknown, and the changes it brings next are likely to be far more than what we’re currently seeing. It’s a good opportunity to clearly understand what the World Dragon Gate will bring, so we can be prepared in advance.”

“Indeed, this is a good way to understand it,” Zhu Minglang agreed.

…

The union of rulers and forces in power signifies a very serious matter, for such a union is only seen in the face of immensely strong external enemies and suddenly emerging powerful species.

In fact, the appearance of Immortal Ghosts should also be included in this situation, but Immortal Ghosts have no interest in Mortals, and they only despise and slaughter Cultivators, which is why the rulers of that particular realm are not willing to deploy troops to quell them.

The strength of the army is always stronger than that of Cultivators.

Cultivators are limited in number, and no matter how high one’s Cultivation Base, facing hundreds of thousands of Demonic Beasts, and millions of monstrous creatures, one would still be powerless.

Moreover, in the army, there are not a few Dragon Shepherds and God and Mortals with extremely high Cultivation Base, and some elite units are even composed entirely of extraordinary individuals.

Those who have poured into Li Chuan are ultimately lone individuals, and one cannot expect them to contribute to the overall situation of Li Chuan. The hidden dangers around Li Chuan and the newly emerged threats will ultimately need to be eradicated by the rulers.

Of course, if the reason for the surge in strength of the foreign forces is discovered and seized, it would be a huge gain for the rulers!
