The Luochuan Flood Dragon Clan, the Perils of Crossing Commanderies
High in the sky, a Yun Bai Flying Boat was lifted up by fluffy white clouds and flew south at great speed.
Several days passed, Baicang County and Heiling County were traversed one by one.
Soon, a vast expanse of blue water appeared before Yang Tianyou's eyes.
This is Luochuan River!
Luochuan River originates from the West plateau and stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles from west to east. The river is wide, with the narrowest part being three hundred miles wide and the widest part being thousands of miles wide. No wonder the opposite bank cannot be seen from Flying Boat.
One cultivator described Luochuan River like this: It is like a True Dragon, lying across the vast land, its waters surging and turbulent, sometimes unleashing towering waves in anger, destroying countless lives, and sometimes showering down endless rain, benefiting billions of people.
The Flying Boat continued its journey, and the surging water vapor contained in the Luochuan River below shot straight into the Yunxiao, condensing into clusters of Dark Clouds above the river surface.
Clouds rise, lightning flashes.
With a series of roars, a storm suddenly descended.
The world suddenly turned dark, and a fierce wind whipped up countless water droplets, forming a waterspout that stretched from the sky to the earth.
At the very top, blue-purple Thunder surged and raged amidst the Dark Clouds, as if the heavens were enraged and about to unleash boundless Tribulation Lightning.
Yeah!~
A deafening roar reached his ears. Yang Tianyou looked into the distance and saw a huge shadow rolling wildly in the rolling Dark Clouds, spewing out wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
"Is that Flood Dragon?"
The moment this thought flashed through Yang Tianyou's mind, the Flying Boat beneath his feet seemed to be startled, activating its Formation at full power and more than doubling its speed, quickly moving away from the area.
After a while, Hong Qing walked in with a grim expression. "Bad luck. We encountered the Flood Dragon, which forcibly activated the Cloudglow Sky-Escaping Formation. Thirty percent of the tickets the sect collected went down the drain."
"Was that dark figure really Flood Dragon?" Yang Tianyou asked curiously.
Hong Qing nodded. "It's Flood Dragon. Flood Dragon Clan inhabits the Luochuan River, but there are only about twenty of them. They are generally distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Luochuan River."
"What did you mean by 'Flood Dragons moving through water'?"
"The Dragon Clan mostly belongs to the cloud and water element. The Flood Dragon Flood Dragon Clan's water-walking is a special cultivation method. At this time, they can use the power of heaven and earth to temper their physical body and improve their cultivation. If they are lucky, they can even purify their bloodline."
"I see." Yang Tianyou's eyes were opened.
He was not omniscient or omnipotent. Although he knew that there were Demon Beast like Flood Dragons in the Cultivation World, he did not know much about Flood Dragon.
"I heard it from my master. This is the second time I've accompanied him to escort the Cross-Commandery Flying Boat. The first time, we didn't encounter Flood Dragons crossing the water, and we crossed the Luochuan River very smoothly." Hong Qing shrugged, his tone somewhat helpless.
Yang Tianyou's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked curiously, "Which is stronger, the Flood Dragon Clan or the Luochuan Sect?"
"Of course it's the Luochuan Sect," Hong Qing answered without hesitation. "The Luochuan Sect has Spirit Transformation cultivators, while the highest cultivation level among these twenty-odd Flood Dragons is only at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection. They can't compare to the Luochuan Sect."
Is the Flood Dragon a type of dragon) really that weak?
Yang Tianyou frowned. In his opinion, since the Flood Dragon had Dragon Clan blood, it should be very strong.
"Flood Dragons vary in strength. My master told me that the Flood Dragon Clan in the Luochuan River comes from the Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Palace, but their bloodline is not very strong. Without great perseverance and great fortuitous opportunities, it is difficult for them to break through the shackles of their bloodline..." Hong Qing seemed to know a lot about the Flood Dragon Clan, as if he knew them by heart.
After the conversation, Yang Tianyou gained a basic understanding of the Flood Dragon Clan in the Luochuan River.
According to Hong Qing, the lowest level of strength among the members of the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan is Foundation Establishment, while the highest level is the Nascent Soul Great Perfection, which is the Clan Chief of the Flood Dragon Clan.
In addition, Yang Tianyou also learned that the Flood Dragon Clan does not recognize itself as Demon Race, but identifies itself as Dragon Clan.
During the Cold Tide War, the Flood Dragon Clan did not join in targeting the Human Race; on the contrary, they even saved the disciples of the Luochuan Sect.
Therefore, the Flood Dragon Clan and the Luochuan Sect got along fairly well in the Luochuan River.
The two forces are located in different parts of the Luochuan River. One is situated in the middle reaches of the Luo River and occupies a Fourth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein. The other is situated in the lower reaches of the Luochuan River and occupies a Fifth-Tier Lower-Grade Spirit Vein.
They maintained a relationship of mutual respect and non-interference.
Of course, the fact that the Flood Dragon Clan was polite to the Luochuan Sect does not mean that they were polite to other Human Race forces. In the past, there have been quite a few Human Race forces that were destroyed by the Flood Dragon Clan.
When Luochuan Sect found out, he didn't say much. Although they were indeed much stronger than the Flood Dragon Clan, the latter were not without backing. The Eastern Sea Flood Dragon Clan was a behemoth.
For this reason, the Cloudglow Sect's Flying Boat quickly changed direction when it saw the Flood Dragon moving through the water; it was simply because they couldn't afford to provoke it.
It should be known that when Flood Dragon is moving through the water, it is most afraid of being disturbed by others, and many Cultivators have been killed by Flood Dragons for this reason.
After experiencing the Flood Dragon's journey through the water, the rest of the journey went much more smoothly, and they encountered no other dangers until they crossed the vast Luochuan River.
After crossing Luochuan River, the Flying Boat traveled for nearly two more days. The scenery below changed from wide grasslands to continuous mountains and dense forests, interspersed with a thick, pale green miasma.
The Poisonous Marsh Jungle is a Perilous Land that inspires fear in all who hear of it.
Besides these natural dangers, this place is also a gathering place for many Outer Dao. Relying on the treacherous terrain of the Poisonous Marsh Jungle, they often ambush and kill passing Cultivators.
If you're not strong enough, you'll easily become their target.
It was this Perilous Land, straddling Luochuan Commandery and Ba Commandery, that blocked the vital passage, causing most Foundation Establishment Cultivators to dare not pass through here alone and instead have to take Third Tier Cross-Commandery Flying Boat.
Because if they didn't go through here and had to take a detour, even Third-Tier Flying Boat would take much longer, let alone Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Therefore, it's better to spend some Spirit Stones, which will ensure a safe journey and allow you to reach your destination quickly.
Once they reached the Poisonous Marsh Jungle, the true potential of Golden Core Cultivators was realized.
A middle-aged man with an ancient and learned appearance, dressed in Yun Bai robe with cloud patterns and a coiled Coiling Dragon Belt, quietly appeared at the bow of the boat.
True Person Bai Xuan, Hong Qing's master, is at the Early Golden Core and possesses considerable strength.
After standing at the bow of the boat, True Person Bai Xuan circulated his Law Power, and a faint Golden Core pressure emanated from his body, not spreading far, but merely enveloping the entire Flying Boat.
The deterrent power of Golden Core Cultivator is definitely not weak. More importantly, this is within the territory of the Human Race in the Northern River Region. Even if there are more powerful Foreign Races, they rarely openly attack Human Race cultivators at the Golden Core Realm. After all, if the opponent escapes, the Foreign Races that made the move will face retaliation and encirclement by the major Human Race forces.
Therefore, along the way, only some ignorant and Fierce Beasts blocked the road, but they were easily killed by True Person Bai Xuan.
Three hours later, the Flying Boat finally crossed the Poisonous Marsh Jungle and entered Ba Commandery.
