Background / History
Holy Dragon Village was originally known as Nanshan Village. Local tradition holds that a Holy Dragon once remained to guard the settlement, leading to its renaming; the Holy Dragon Dojo was said to have been established by that dragon's Beast Master. The dojo preserved Dragon Saliva Crystal Essence as an heirloom for the Holy Dragon's eventual return. Chen Xuan's inherited memories confirm that the legend was true. 2 129
The village initially lived in isolation, with little means to resist wandering Phantasmal Beasts. Chen Xuan's return to the dojo changed this: after hatching the Holy Light Dragon, its Holy Light healed villagers and renewed belief in the village's old legend. 2 3 19
During the Plague Rat outbreak, Holy Dragon Village remained unaffected because Chen Xuan's Field King Frogs, Guardian Scarecrows, and other Phantasmal Beasts eliminated the invading rats. The Holy Light Dragon then cured nearby villages, making Holy Dragon Village the center of renewed worship of the Beast God and Holy Dragon. 51 53 55
When the Quicksand Lord's desertification threatened the surrounding mountains and water sources, Chen Xuan traced the crisis from Holy Dragon Village and destroyed its source with the Nine Heavens Wind-Rain Dragon. The resulting rain ended the drought affecting Holy Dragon Village and neighboring settlements. 130 132 133
Layout and Environment
Holy Dragon Village has open land, orderly homes, fertile fields, ponds, mulberry trees, and intersecting paths. Its residents traditionally live by farming and raise livestock. 1
- Holy Dragon Dojo — Located at the far end of the village, with a large forest behind its courtyard. It serves as Chen Xuan's home, teaching site, and the center of the village's Phantasmal Beast activity. 19 79
- Giant tree — A towering tree several hundred meters tall appeared behind the dojo, becoming a notable landmark. 74
- Reversed rainbow — A rainbow with its colors in reverse order appeared above the village after the arrival of Silver Dragon Shierbagong and later became a distinctive symbol of Holy Dragon Village. 267
- Trade route — Village merchants travel to Gu Zhou City monthly for supplies and news, preventing the settlement from being completely cut off from wider human society. 28
Security and Phantasmal Beasts
Holy Dragon Village is guarded by numerous Phantasmal Beasts owned or directed by Chen Xuan. Initially installed discreetly to protect the settlement, they later became an ordinary part of village life. 45 494
- Field King Frogs — Patrol fields, repel weaker Phantasmal Beasts, and eliminated Plague Rat spawn during the regional outbreak. 51
- Guardian Scarecrows — Defend crops and fields from hostile beasts and vermin. 48 51
- Broom Imps / Broom Gods — Clean roads and alleys throughout the village; by later events, Diamond-grade variants serve the villagers. 48 796
- Little Skull — The former Skeleton General lives among the villagers, plays with children, and serves as a vigilant guardian against suspicious visitors. 110 373
- Rainbow Space — Silver Dragon Shierbagong's spatial ability is used as a protective shield for the village. 301
- Sayaka — Resides at the Holy Dragon Dojo and guards the village alongside Chen Xuan. 789
- Eight Legions of Gods and Demons — Eight special, untameable Phantasmal Beasts form an additional layer of protection. 807
The village's defenses are strong enough that visiting Diamond-grade Beast Masters judged its combat power to exceed their own combined strength. Gu Zhou City's authorities later instructed their personnel not to disturb anyone—or any Phantasmal Beast—within Holy Dragon Village. 498 499
Village Life
Farming and Services
Phantasmal Beasts are integrated into routine work rather than reserved solely for combat. They clean streets, protect crops, plow fields, serve tea, and assist with livestock and other agricultural tasks. 48 253 796
By the later story, even residents without Beast Mastery Power can command the village's powerful Phantasmal Beasts, an ability that astonishes visiting Beast Masters. 797
Education
After Chen Xuan reopened Holy Dragon Dojo, village children began attending lessons on Phantasmal Beasts. They study in the mornings and learn practical knowledge before reaching the age to contract beasts themselves. 19 21
Holy Dragon Elementary School later operates in the village under principal Sun Jingfeng and plans a school festival. 232
Rhythm Ripple Dragon's Influence
The Rhythm Ripple Dragon's music improves the village environment and the well-being of its inhabitants.
- Its melodies calm living beings and promote the growth and productivity of animals and plants. 142
- Its music improves villagers' sleep, leaving them refreshed and energetic each morning. 232
- The dragon's influence is also said to help Beast Masters feel their Beast Mastery Power loosening and improving. 142
Faith and Customs
The villagers revere the Beast God and Holy Dragon as protectors. This faith intensified after the Holy Light Dragon's healing of plague-stricken nearby villages and Chen Xuan's later interventions against drought and hostile Phantasmal Beasts. 53 123 129
- Beast God Festival — Established jointly by Holy Dragon Village and neighboring villages after the drought was ended and their crops revived. 128 129
