"On the east sea."
With the Grand Dragon Pearl shattered, the power structure of the dragon race underwent a fundamental change. The Grand Dragon worried that the bloodline of his direct descendants would be betrayed by outsiders, and these outsiders were basically referred to as the Phoenix tribe and the Qilin tribe. All three tribes had not been sparing in their efforts to take advantage of others' misfortunes. Today, if it were the Phoenix tribe's misfortune, this side of the Grand Dragon could be even more outrageous.
The Grand Dragon Hall summoned all divine dragons and true dragons, and no one was allowed to leave without the command of the Grand Dragon.
Now the dragons remaining on the East Sea are generally of relatively diluted bloodlines, unable to enter the sacred Grand Dragon Hall, they can only wander around. Some turn into human forms and enter human kingdoms, some serve as mounts for immortals or go to pay homage to the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
The chaotic situation is actually a great boon for the people of Xuan Yuan who have left the Immortal Volcano and returned to the primordial chaos to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Samadhi technique (Chapters 553 and 554).
They caught those wandering dragons in large numbers.
Actually, many dragons had been captured before, but at that time, powerful dragons like divine dragons and true dragons were present, and the overall command system of the entire race was also well-developed. When one side was in trouble, the other eight would support, fighting back and forth between the dragon race and Xuan Yuan people. Overall, the dragons still held the upper hand due to their geographical advantage.
The people of Xuan Yuan are indeed no match in terms of hard power, no matter how much they train their bodies. With the divine dragons and true dragons hiding away and the dragon race scattered like sand, it's a good time for the many Xuan Yuan people who need dragon flesh and bones to cultivate their martial arts.
Luo Xuan, a celestial being from Jie Zuo, followed them in their actions, even declining the Peach Blossom Festival.
He was a fire essence, while the peach tree was a very pure aquatic spirit root. He did not possess sufficient mastery of the Five Elements as the Phoenix had achieved through cultivation, so it wasn't a matter of whether he could eat the water peaches or not, but whether they would be ineffective after consumption. Therefore, he decided not to go at all.
"Luo Brother, is there really a Slaying Dragon Sword?" A young man named 'Pán' among the Xuan Yuan people asked Luo Xuan.
The young man spoke while his movements were practiced in peeling off the scales from the dragon's body with a short knife, and then pulling out tendons and skin.
Luo Xuan's appearance remained unchanged from the Battle of Bianshen, and he was also stuck at the juncture between Xuanxian and Jinxian. A step forward would take him to Jinxian, but if he couldn't make that leap, it would be quite normal for him to remain in this realm for tens of thousands of years.
In terms of progress, he is faster than Yang Tie and Nezha, which is mainly due to the endless battles he has been involved in. The fire essence inherently means to burn everything and consume everything. Now, by killing dragons with all his might, he has secretly aligned with the essence of the fire spirit.
Hearing Pán's question, he replied with confidence, "Yes, there must be. Definitely."
Hongwu immortals all have the characteristic of stubbornness. Luo Hòu managed to turn death into life and return to the primordial world through his stubborn nature. Now Luo Xuan firmly held onto his resolve and vowed to find the Slaying Dragon Sword. It is understandable that he is determined, as without a strong belief, one would hesitate and look before leaping, which would make it impossible to achieve true enlightenment.
"Hoho hoho."
"Laughing so hard, I can't stop, hehe."
Several young Xuan Yuan people were laughing. All these years had passed, and there were many dragons that had been captured. However, no matter how harshly they were tortured, they could not obtain any information about the Slaying Dragon Sword. Without a doubt, this Luo Xuan Senior had been duped.
However, Luo Xuan is quite skilled in combat, leading the charge in every battle. Even the Xuan Yuan people are unwilling to offend him. You say you're looking for the Slaying Dragon Sword? Ah, yes, yes! Just go through the motions and that's it.
A few Xuan Yuan people allowed Pán to work alone, while chatting and munching on large shrimp. The shrimp were as thick as an adult's arm, grilled over the fire and topped with seasonings, making them look scarlet and very appetizing.
Does it have any dragon bloodline? It can be said that the ancestors of the shrimp and the dragons had some relationship. But by the time their descendants came into existence, their bloodline was so thin that it seemed to not exist at all. However, the taste was still quite fragrant, and you couldn't find such good stuff in the Phoenix Volcano on the other side.
At first, the Xuan Yuan people were cautious, fearing that eating too many lobsters might lead to bad luck in reverse, or even heavenly punishment. But later, they found out that lobsters could be eaten without any problems; heaven had no objections to this matter. So what more is there to say? They can increase strength and fill you up; go ahead and eat!
"Luo Brother! Another dragon is coming! It's moving so fast!" Pán, who had naturally developed divine vision, saw a water line coming from the distance towards their direction at an incredible speed.
The water line broke through the waves and moved at an extremely fast speed. Only a shark-like dorsal fin was visible on the surface of the sea.
Including Luo Xuan, they all picked up their weapons. They were not surprised by the dorsal fin; the list of potential mates for the dragon race was simply too vast. They looked down on no potential mate, whether flying in the sky, swimming in the water, or running on land.
A turtle passed by, and even if you had to catch it and look at it carefully, maybe this turtle has dragon blood.
At this point, the appearance of a dragon with a dorsal fin was simply too normal.
Luo Xuan was indeed a Xuanxian, one who could beat the Yellow Dragon Immortal, a Jinxian, to the point of running around. He quickly noticed something unusual.
Luo Xuan kicked the boy Pán away with a foot and said, "Run, quickly run! You guys also stay far away!"
Just as Luo Xuan finished his words, the few Xuan Yuan people who were eating large shrimp retreated three steps and turned around to run. At that moment, the monster in the water suddenly burst out.
The creature was blackened all over, resembling some kind of fish but with four pairs of limbs. It had been swimming underwater using these limbs. What was supposed to be the creature's head had a squid-like tentacle, while what was previously thought to be the dorsal fin was now spread out like a flower, with something resembling petals spewing poison water in all directions.
What kind of thing is this? Luo Xuan was a bit confused. Is this also a member of the dragon race? That's really quite stomach-turning.
The strange fish leapt out of the water, extending several tentacles that suddenly grew over ten zhang long. One of the tentacles even wound around the young Pán's calf.
The young man cried out in pain, and Luo Xuan's divine eye emitted a faint glimmer. It briefly fixed the tentacles for two breaths. He waved his sleeves, and the Flame Dragon Sword, carrying a fiery glow, chopped off the tentacle in one stroke, saving Pán.
The young man clutched his calf, rolling around on the ground. The tentacle had corroded a significant amount of flesh from his leg within such a short period. Now, muscles were continuously separating from his body as if they were melting wax candles, and the deepest part was already visible through the bones.
Luo Xuan flicked his finger and gave the young man a divine elixir to stabilize his injury temporarily. Then he activated the treasure Treasures of the Sky and Five Dragon Wheel, effortlessly burning the strange fish into ashes.
This thing looks powerful, but it's actually quite powerful. However, for the Jie Zuo Xuanxian, it's not much of a threat.
Luo Xuan, after calculating the situation by pressing his fingers together, turned pale and summoned his Flaming Horse. He instructed his steed to carry both Pán and himself away.
After a stick of incense, swarms of the strange fish, resembling locusts, swam towards them from afar. After consuming their fallen companions' bodies, they chased Luo Xuan's direction.
