Chapter 1408
Chen Xuan hurriedly returned to Qushan, planted the Xuanxiao Fortune Dragon Plate, and after seeing four Fortune Dragons emerge and begin to circle the Zelin Sea to guard and deter all sides, he also briefly explained the Xuanshui Ze.
He then glanced at Elder Long and the other core clan members from afar, shook his head bitterly, and used the Qiankun Shift technique to leave.
After years of transformation by the Longxia clan and the Jiang clan, the area of Zelinhai has now expanded from its initial radius of ten thousand li to a radius of forty to fifty thousand li.
It can be said that the most core area of the entire Qushan is Zelinhai, which is also a sacred place for the economy, spiritual field cultivation, cultivator training, and Dharma inheritance.
Countless local demons, both large and small, from Qushan, as well as countless mortal tribes of all sizes, regard Zelinhai as a place of pilgrimage.
When the earth shook and the dragon roared, Elder Long and thirty or forty others had already gathered and were flying towards this place. However, their strength was still a bit weak. Chen Xuan only needed to use the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth once to get across the distance of thirty or forty thousand miles.
When Elder Long and the others hurriedly flew over, they only saw Elder Xuan there.
The current tribal leaders, such as Elder Long, have become increasingly powerful and well-established. Elder Long, in particular, has made great strides, and with the cultivation resources that Chen Xuan has brought back time and time again, his strength has already broken through to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. In just a few years, he will probably become a true Myriad Manifestations Realm expert.
Upon seeing the commotion, the group of over thirty people, and then looking at the scene, Xuan Shuize alone bowed and said, "Elder Xuan, this is quite a gesture? Could it be you?"
When Chen Xuan left the tribe, he offered nearly 30% of the spiritual fields in Zelinhai as a way to win him over, and had Xuanshuize, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, guard the tribe. Although Elder Long felt heartbroken, he never treated him differently and was always very respectful and polite.
Upon hearing Elder Long's words, the other high-ranking members of the Longxia tribe looked at Xuanshuize with awe.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Shuize shook his head with a wry smile and said softly. After learning that Chen Xuan had returned hastily only to leave again, Elder Long and the others' expressions changed drastically, and some of the higher-ups even had red eyes.
"We have finally found the whereabouts of my clansmen!"
“Nalan clan… Xiao Xuan, you must be careful.”
……
Upon hearing this, Xuan Shuize shook his head slightly and said, "Young friend Chen Xuan said that he would not show himself until he brought his clansmen back, because he did not want to be entangled with He Wei in too much karma." After all, Elder Long and the others were still at a lower level.
"As you all may not know, there is a type of heaven-defying genius in the cultivation world who has comprehended the Great Dao of Deduction." When Xuan Shuize spoke of the Great Dao of Deduction, his eyes were filled with deep fear. "As long as there is entanglement of cause and effect, he can deduce information by relying on the Dao of Deduction."
"Fortune telling?" Upon hearing this, the high-ranking officials of Longxia looked at each other in disbelief, unable to hide their shock.
Xuan Shuize then told Elder Long and the others what the four divine dragons circling above the Zelin Sea represented. They learned that these were manifestations of the divine dragons representing the royal family's fortune in the Xuanxiao Great World, and that these dragons protected and deterred even Qingtianhou from easily intruding, let alone other cultivators.
This excited each and every member of the Longxia clan, who also gazed at the distant sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of that thin, young figure.
"In that case, you go back and handle government affairs later. I will have a detailed discussion with Elder Xuan here." Elder Long, after all, was the ruler who once led the entire Longxia clan to rise to power. He quickly recovered from the shock of the Divine Dragon of Fortune and gave the order.
"Yes, patriarch!"
……
Afterwards, more than thirty high-ranking officials bowed to Elder Long and Xuan Shuize before turning back together. After everyone had left, Xuan Shuize looked at the middle-aged Elder Long with a puzzled expression, wondering what important matter his old friend wanted to discuss with him.
Elder Long surveyed the vast land below, then asked in a low voice, "Elder Xuan, what do you think of the development potential of my Longxia clan?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Shuize pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Although Qushan is lacking in resources, fortunately, you have your clansman Chen Xuan, who brings back large amounts of resources time and time again. Your clansman has amazing potential."
"Then what does Elder Xuan think of the constitution of my Longxia clan?" Elder Long asked again.
“Thousands of families are like one family, without exclusion or distinction. Their organizational and mobilization capabilities are something I have never heard of in my thousands of years of life. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly have been able to imagine it.” Xuan Shuize’s answer was very apt.
The development of the Longxia clan, including its internal operations, makes it an anomaly in this world where tribes are numerous.
In the past, the small tribes and natives under the ruler's control were nothing more than tools and expendable resources in the eyes of the overlord. Who would be kind enough to help them develop and give their descendants the opportunity to advance or even cultivate immortality?
Under the rule of Elder Long and others, Qushan has now developed to the point where everyone is equal and can study. When they turn eight, they can all go through a special selection process to choose the most talented young people to enter the core hall of Zelinhai for further education. This was unimaginable under the rule of the previous overlords.
Upon hearing this, Elder Long nodded slightly and looked earnestly at Xuan Shuize, saying, "Take a look at this." After speaking, Elder Long turned his hand over, and instantly ten thousand auras filled the area. It was a crystal-clear leaf with a lustrous, jade-like green color. The crisscrossing veins on the back of the leaf were like manifestations of paths, which was extremely strange.
"This...this is...the aura of the Dao?" With Xuan Shuize's bloodline, he couldn't possibly know about the Enlightenment Tree, one of the four great spiritual roots of the Immortal Ancient Era, from his ancestor's memories. Of course, even if he didn't know the name of the leaves, he could still recognize these treasures that were compatible with all Daos.
"This is a leaf that naturally fell from the Enlightenment Tree after hundreds of thousands of years of nurturing. This treasure contains the essence of countless Daos. If one holds this treasure close to their body year-round, it can accelerate a cultivator's comprehension of the Dao." Although Elder Long was currently only a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm, his aura was cultivated over many years. Holding the leaf from the Enlightenment Tree in his palm, he looked at the eager Xuan Shui and said, "Originally, based on your relationship with my clan, I should have given you one..."
Psychological warfare is something leaders at Long Lao's level are extremely adept at.
Sure enough, after saying this, Xuan Shuize could not hide his excitement.
Despite being two major realms higher than Elder Long, he dared not touch Elder Long in the slightest. After all, Chen Xuan had even obtained the Xuanxiao Qi Fortune Dragon Plate. If he dared to kill and rob, he could be found anywhere in the world. Therefore, even though he longed for it, he could only wait for what was to come.
"Alas, this treasure is too precious, concerning the survival of my tribe." Elder Long shook his head and smiled. "Elder Xuan, would you be willing to join my Longxia tribe?" As he spoke, Elder Long flipped his hand again, and a fruit radiating a rich blood-red light appeared. The appearance of this fruit made Xuan Shuize's heart stop for a moment.
The reason why demons are divided into different ranks is not due to their strength, but because their bloodlines are impure. The True Blood Divine Fruit is a treasure that is transformed from the essence and blood of ancient true blood gods and demons after their death, after countless years of nurturing and transformation. It can precisely purify one's own bloodline.
Compared to the leaves of the Enlightenment Tree, Xuan Shuize yearned even more to purify the immortal bloodline of his ancestor, Bai Ze. After purifying his bloodline, he could awaken the secret techniques and even supernatural powers belonging to the Bai Ze clan through his bloodline with each breakthrough.
"If Elder Xuan is willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao and join my Dragon Xia clan, these two treasures will be our clan's welcoming gift. In the future, whatever treasures the clan possesses will be given to them for enhancement. What do you say?"
