Fifth-Rank Flood Dragon

"Fairy Chu, why did you personally go out to gather information?"

Shen Long asked casually.

"Since I'm just idling around anyway, and there's still a difference between the avatar and the real body, it's better for me to take action myself."

Chu Buyu explained.

Ultimately, the avatar is merely a high-level Puppet, incapable of independent thought and possessing numerous flaws.

It's safer for Chu Buyu to personally go out and gather information.

"Fairy Chu, how is the battle going at the front?"

Shen Long got down to business.

"It's fierce. The Jade Universe Realm and the Purple Charm Race Clan are involved, and the casualties are even greater. Many veteran Nascent Soul Cultivator from our Gan Yang Realm have perished. By the way, the Heaven Origin Race has put a high bounty on our heads, and the Human Race also knows about our attack on the Green Flood Dragon Mountain Range and that you possess a divine soul Spirit Treasure."

Chu Buyu spoke slowly.

"Many veteran Nascent Soul Cultivator are dead?"

Shen Long frowned. Just as he had expected, in this battle, Nascent Soul Cultivator were merely high-level cannon fodder.

"If we return to the front lines, we will have to fight the Heaven Origin Race and the Purple Charm Race. Sooner or later, we will die at the hands of alien cultivators. The Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Black Tiger Tribe is personally leading a team to capture us. If we show our faces on the front lines, he may personally deal with us."

Chu Buyu's expression was solemn.

Returning to the front lines now is not a wise choice; the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

Shen Long frowned deeply. He had been targeted by Spirit Transformation cultivators. If they showed up on the front lines, he would be lucky to leave with a whole corpse.

"Then let's stay here and continue cultivating! We don't lack any resources anyway."

Shen Long said.

Shen Hai took out a yellow Formation Disk was flashing with light and frowned, saying, "The outer Warning Formation has been triggered; a living being has arrived."

Shen Long frowned and released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada.

The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada shone with a dazzling golden light as it surveyed the outside world.

"They are cultivators from the Heaven Origin Race."

Shen Long frowned and said.

"What are they doing in the North Cold Ice Plain? Are they looking for us?"

Chu Buyu said somewhat nervously.

"It shouldn't be. There are only three people. We'll find out if we go out and take a look."

Shen Long said.

A continuous white mountain range, with gusts of cold wind and swirling snowflakes.

Three cultivators from the Heaven Origin Race, two men and one woman, flew through the air. Judging from their auras, they were all at the Nascent Soul Realm.

A tall, thin young man in a white shirt held a shimmering white Dharma Disk, and their expressions were tense.

"Hopefully we won't run into it again this time."

The young man in the white shirt looked worried.

A sharp, piercing screech rang out, and the three young men in white felt dizzy and disoriented as they plummeted from the sky.

A flash of red light appeared, and a Giant Tower shimmering with red light appeared above the three of them.

The Red Giant Tower emitted a beam of Red Rosy Clouds, enveloping the three young men in white and drawing them into its Red Giant Tower.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu emerged from underground, and Chu Buyu flew into the Red Giant Tower.

Shen Long flipped his right hand, and the Purple Pupil Bead appeared in his hand. He infused it with Law Power, and the Purple Pupil Bead shone with a dazzling spiritual light.

Within a radius of five hundred miles, Shen Long did not find any other Heaven Origin Race cultivators.

Not long after, Chu Buyu flew out of the Red Giant Tower and said, "There's actually a fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon here."

"What! A fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon? How come the other Heaven Origin Race cultivators don't know about this?"

Shen Long asked in surprise.

They would go out to investigate, usually traveling very far, and would target Heaven Origin Race cultivators from other tribes.

More than ten Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Heaven Origin Race were killed by Shen Long. Shen Long searched their souls but they were unaware of the existence of the fifth-order Ice Flood Dragon.

"The fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon appeared over a hundred years ago and has always been in the North Cold Ice Plain. As for why the Heaven Origin Race did not destroy this dragon, firstly, the space deep within the North Cold Ice Plain is not very stable, and secondly, our Human Race attacked. The Heaven Origin Race's high-ranking officials blocked the news and regularly sent people to patrol, mainly to prevent this dragon from leaving the North Cold Ice Plain and causing trouble."

Chu Buyu said.

"So that's why there was Warning Formation at the entrance. It was to prevent the dragon from escaping, and these three came in to patrol?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"Yes! They brought the Spirit Treasure Dragon-Seeking Disk, which is infused with a wisp of the Ice Flood Dragon's Essence Blood. Controlled by Nascent Soul Cultivator, it can sense the dragon's location from 500 miles away. Their main purpose is to investigate whether the fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon is in the North Cold Ice Plain."

Chu Buyu spoke slowly.

"The Flood Dragon Seeking Disk! Why are you searching for the whereabouts of a fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon? To kill Ice Flood Dragon? Or is there another purpose?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"I don't know. The Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Heaven Origin Race didn't tell them their specific purpose. It's not safe here anymore, let's find another place!"

Chu Buyu suggested.

"What is the purity of this fifth-tier Ice Flood Dragon's Bloodline Purity?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"It can speak human language now, making it difficult to deal with. Otherwise, the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Heaven Origin Race would have killed it long ago."

Chu Buyu explained.

"It seems this place is indeed unsafe. Let's find another spot!"

Shen Long said that they had left.

Deep within the North Cold Ice Plain lies a hidden underground Ice Cave.

A huge White Flood Dragon lay motionless on the ground with its eyes closed.

Not far away stood a white fruit tree, about three zhang tall, with dozens of oval white fruits hanging on its branches and angular white leaves.

The White Flood Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, opened its blood-red maw, and with a sudden inhale, the stems of the three white fruits broke off.

Three white fruits flew into its mouth and were swallowed. The Ice Flood Dragon then closed its eyes.

······

Heaven Origin Mountain Range, Heaven Origin Garden.

Yin Shi, Yin Qing, Yin Hao, and a pale-faced old man in a golden robe were gathered in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, talking about something.

"Fellow Daoist Bi, you've finally returned! What happened? Two fellow Daoists have perished."

Yin Shi frowned and asked.

"When we were traveling from the Purple Eye Realm to the Green Interface Passage Green Plum Realm, we were caught in the crossfire of a battle between two Demon Beast. All my defensive treasures were destroyed, and I was severely injured. Fellow Daoist Yin and the others perished."

The old man in the golden robe explained.

Bi Yuan, Spirit Transmutation Mid-Stage.

"Did the battle between the Demon Beast affect you?"

Yin Qing asked in surprise.

"Strictly speaking, it affected the Interface Passage. I was at the very front and successfully reached the Green Plum Realm before the Interface Passage was destroyed, but I was also seriously injured. Fellow Daoist Yin and the others were not so lucky and were wiped out by the aftershocks of the battle."

Bi Yuan explained.

After recuperating in the Green Plum Realm for many years, he once again used the Heaven Origin Sword to break through the interface and return to the Purple Eye Realm.

"What kind of Demon Beast beasts are so powerful in battle that the aftershocks can annihilate a Spirit Transformation cultivator?"

Yin Hao frowned and said.

"The aftershocks aren't scary; what's scary is the Interface Power. We can't survive within the Boundary Domain; Gale Wind, Space Storm, and the like are all limitations."

Bi Yuan said.

Simply put, if a cultivator wants to travel to another interface, they need to establish Interface Passage between the two interfaces.

Once the Interface Passage is destroyed, cultivators stranded in the Boundary Domain have a very low chance of survival.

"Have you found out where the Spatial Node connecting the Green Plum Realm to the Heaven Origin Realm is?"

Yin Qing asked.

"I've found out, but they've assigned several Spirit Transformation cultivators to guard them. I'm not entirely confident, so I have to come back first."

Bi Yuan explained.

"It's good to be back. You've worked hard, so please get some rest."

Yin Shi comforted him.

After chatting for a while, Bi Yuan went to rest.
