News of the Thunder Flood Dragon (That's All for Today)
The North Sea Cultivation World, Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace.
The streets were bustling with people and vehicles, creating a lively atmosphere.
In a secluded Blue-tiled Courtyard, Song He, Liu Xin, and three others sat around Zhang Qing stone table, sipping tea and chatting.
"Senior Wang of Heaven Beast Island is holding Spirit Transmutation Ceremony. I wonder if Senior Shen will come to attend. I heard that Senior Shen's master has already gone to the North Sea Cultivation World."
Song He said.
He is currently in the Core Formation Late Stage, and many cultivators in the Outer Sea know that they work for Shen Long.
Shen Long's reputation soared, and his combat strength rivaled that of Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator. Song He and the other five also indirectly benefited, as at least no one would openly target them. The Han and Ximen Clan also provided them with some conveniences.
"Perhaps! I heard that the disciples of Heaven Beast Island are sending out Invitation everywhere, and the major Human Race forces in the Gan Yang Realm have all received Invitation."
Liu Xin guessed.
Song He took out a Dharma Disk that shimmered with blue light, cast a spell, and Shen Long's voice rang out. "Young Friend Song, are you in the Marketplace?"
"Senior Shen, we are all in the Marketplace. What are your orders?"
Song He stood up, his voice respectful.
"Come to the Golden Cicada Pavilion, I have something to say to you."
Shen Long gave the order.
"Yes, Senior Shen."
Song He readily agreed and put away the Communication Disk.
"I knew Senior Shen would come. Let's go to the Golden Cicada Pavilion together."
Song He excitedly said that the five of them arrived at the Golden Cicada Pavilion and met Shen Long.
Shen Long rushed to the cultivation Immortal Realm in the Outer Sea, visited the Han family, and discovered that the Spirit Transmutation Ceremony would not be held for another six months, so he went to the Outer Sea.
"Greetings, Senior Shen."
Song He and the other five bowed deeply, their expressions solemn.
"Let's skip the formalities, Young Friend Song. You've reached the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage, that's impressive!"
Shen Long offered a word of praise.
"Thanks to Senior Shen's care, otherwise we would have been dead long ago."
Song He his gratitude.
"Yes! Some Nascent Soul Cultivator, knowing that we are working for Senior Shen, won't make things difficult for us. The Ximen Clan and the Han family have also provided us with some conveniences, all thanks to Senior Shen."
Liu Xin echoed.
Has anything major happened in the Outer Sea? Or has a fourth-tier Flood Dragon appeared?
Shen Long asked casually.
"Speaking of major events, the destruction of the Su Family on Black Phoenix Island and Senior Wang's advancement to the Spirit Transmutation Realm significant. More than ten years ago, a Late Fourth Rank Thunder Flood Dragon appeared and killed True Monarch Guangyuan, one of the Ten Immortals of the North Sea, and True Monarch Golden Bee."
Song He said.
"Late Fourth Rank Thunder Flood Dragon?"
Shen Long became interested.
Liu Xin took out a Cyan Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long with both hands, saying, "Senior Shen, this contains some alchemy materials and information about the places where that Thunder Flood Dragon appeared."
Shen Long took the Storage Bag, scanned it with his Divine Sense, nodded, and praised, "You've done a very good job. Here, take these resources."
He took out a Blue Storage Bag and handed it to Song He.
"Thank you very much, Senior Shen."
Song He expressed his gratitude and accepted the Blue Storage Bag.
"This little bit is nothing. By the way, I'm looking for this kind of Strange Beast. Keep an eye out for it for me and let me know immediately if you find anything. Nascent Soul Spirit Item and Spirit Treasure are no problem either, but I don't want too many people to know about this. Just the five of you know."
Shen Long took out a Cyan Scroll and handed it to Song He.
"Nascent Soul Spirit Item! Spirit Treasure!"
Song He and the other five gasped, then excitedly agreed.
Shen Long took out a Red-Glowing Dharma Disk, cast a spell, and Ximen Hao's voice rang out. "Fellow Daoist Shen, I heard you've gone to the Outer Sea. Come visit the Golden Flood Dragon Garden when you have time. A friend of mine would like to get to know you."
"Alright, I'll be right there. Speaking of which, I also have something I'd like to discuss with Fellow Daoist Ximen."
Shen Long agreed.
"Excellent! I'll await Fellow Daoist Shen's arrival at the Golden Flood Dragon Garden."
Ximen Hao's tone was warm.
Shen Long put away the Communication Disk and said, "You guys go ahead with your work! If you get any news about this Strange Beast, don't act rashly. Notify me immediately."
"Yes, Senior Shen."
Song He and the other five agreed in unison and left.
Shen Long also left the Golden Cicada Pavilion and arrived at the Golden Flood Dragon Garden.
Ximen Sen stood at the door, quickly approached Shen Long, bowed, and said, "Junior greets Senior Shen."
"Fellow Daoist Ximen has something to discuss with me, so I've come to keep my appointment."
Shen Long said.
"Senior Shen, please follow me."
Ximen Sen gestured for them to proceed and led the way.
Shen Long followed Ximen Sen inside, and soon they arrived at a quiet Blue-tiled Courtyard.
Ximen Hao and a burly man in a golden robe sat at Zhang Qing stone table. The man in the golden robe exuded a strong Sha Qi.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time. Let me introduce you. This is Daoist Qian."
Ximen Hao said enthusiastically, and Ximen Sen tactfully withdrew.
"I am Gan Hao. I have heard that Fellow Daoist Shen Fellow Daoist Shen possesses a powerful physique. Shall we have a spar? Let's settle this with a single punch?"
The burly man in the golden shirt was filled with fighting spirit.
Shen Long was slightly taken aback; they were going to spar on their first meeting?
"Fellow Daoist Shen, please don't misunderstand. Daoist Qian is Half-Barbarian with a powerful physical body. I heard that your physical body is strong, so I wanted to spar with you."
Ximen Hao explained.
Gan Hao's father was Barbarian Race monk, and his mother was Human Race.
"I'll let it go this time. I'll definitely have a good spar with Daoist Qian when I have the chance in the future."
Shen Long politely declined.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Gan Hao agreed.
Ximen Hao gestured for Shen Long to sit down, and they began to chat.
"Daoist Qian encountered a Late Fourth Rank Green Wind Peng on Immortal Fallen Island?"
Shen Long asked in surprise.
"Yes! It's too fast and too agile. I can't do anything with it, otherwise I would have killed it."
Gan Hao said in a regretful tone.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Ximen, I heard that a Late Fourth Rank Thunder Flood Dragon has been spotted."
Shen Long inquired about the fourth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon.
"That's right. This demon has a powerful physical body that can withstand Spirit Treasure. It is also proficient in Thunder Method and has mastered the Thunder Evasion Technique, making it extremely troublesome. It has killed five Nascent Soul Cultivator, including True Monarch Guangyuan and True Monarch Golden Bee."
Ximen Hao said in a regretful tone.
"This dragon is indeed powerful. If it encounters us, we will definitely tear it apart and skin it alive."
Gan Hao looked radiant with confidence.
"Fellow Daoist Ximen, I've heard that fifth-tier Demon Beast have appeared in the Outer Sea?"
Shen Long changed the subject.
"That happened hundreds of years ago. True Monarch Taihao repelled it, and it has been lurking in the depths of the Outer Sea ever since. We cultivators dare not venture too far, lest we encounter a fifth-tier Demon Beast, which would be troublesome."
"That's what Ximen Hao said."
"Could it be dead? It hasn't shown its face for hundreds of years. I heard it hasn't even taken human form yet, and its cultivation efficiency is too low. If it were to devour its own kind, it would have wiped out Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast in the Outer Sea long ago."
Gan Hao guessed.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. There are spatial rifts in some places deep in the Outer Sea. These are Natural Restriction, and there have been instances where Late Fourth Rank Demon Beast were sucked into spatial rifts."
"That's what Ximen Hao said."
He took out a white Dharma Disk that shimmered with spiritual light, cast a spell, and exclaimed in surprise, "A fourth-tier Thunder Flood Dragon has appeared!"
