Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 457: Chapter 43: Start of the Battle_1

The water in the pool was disturbed, a burst of blood shining.

An innumerable number of shadows surged wildly underwater!

Wang Ba, with his remarkable vision, could see through the rippling water. He clearly saw the Spiritual Ghost Eels, which seemed to have entirely lost their spirituality, frenziedly tearing and devouring each other.

Blood rapidly spread through the water.

The three drops of Mixed Chi Horse blood and essence were also rapidly fading.

The number of Spiritual Ghost Eels visibly decreased at a rapid rate.

Gradually, out of the three to four thousand Spiritual Ghost Eels, only about eight hundred remained.

The bodies of these Spiritual Ghost Eels were becoming darker, and there was no aura of Class II, middle grade creatures anymore.

All of them had bulging eyes, a protruding snout, growing whiskers, and above their heads, two small bulges began to form.

They vaguely resembled a dragon’s head.

Wang Ba did not stop; he changed his hand gestures once again.

The remaining three drops of Mixed Chi Horse blood and essence in the white porcelain bottle also fell into the pool.

Splash!

The water under the pool once again triggered a turmoil!

The remaining eight hundred Spiritual Ghost Eels began another process of tearing and devouring each other.

The number of Spiritual Ghost Eels was rapidly decreasing.

Seven hundred… five hundred…

Finally.

In the pool, only about two hundred remained.

However, these remaining Spiritual Ghost Eels had their bulges atop their heads protruding even further, and one could vaguely see the form of horns on them.

Their once smooth bodies had also grown a set of fine scales.

They seemed to be one step closer to taking on a dragon form.

At last.

The array flags surrounding them fluttered as if blown by a breeze, and the blood light in the pool gradually receded. Eventually, it was quiet in the pool.

“Mysterious Dragon…”

The Spiritual Ghost Eels, which had undergone a strange change due to the influence of the Mixed Chi Horse’s blood and essence, were now in the category of ‘Mysterious Dragons’.

Of course, these ‘Mysterious Dragons’ were not real dragons; the term was a general classification.

Eels, as thick as a man’s arm and resembling a dragon, were squirming at the bottom of the pool. These Spiritual Ghost Eels were all of Class II top grade, but compared to ordinary ones, they possessed an additional mysterious and wild aura.

Moving his thought, Wang Ba bit his tongue tip and forced a drop of essence blood out of himself. Immediately afterwards, his hands moved in a seal, and the essence’s blood quickly fell into the pool.

Simultaneously, he recited a series of abstruse verses from a scripture.

This time, as the scripture was slowly read out.

The ‘Mysterious Dragons’ in the pool did not become as violent as before. Instead, they seemed to have gained a sense of understanding, and they all floated to the water’s surface, looking up as if celebrating a ceremony, welcoming the falling of Wang Ba’s essence blood.

As Wang Ba’s essence blood fell into the pool.

It quickly turned into a mist of blood which surged into the mouths of these ‘Mysterious Dragons’.

The spirituality in the eyes of these ‘Mysterious Dragons’ became even richer.

Finally.

Wang Ba suddenly perceived an unspoken connection between him and these ‘Mysterious Dragons’.

With a nudge of his thought.

The Mysterious Dragon Soldiers broke through the water and soared into the air, sometimes swirling with rage and baring teeth, forming themselves into ranks as if in a military parade. Sometimes they merged into one body, forming a figure of a giant man, making every move with great momentum!

At times, they attached themselves around Wang Ba’s body, forming a dragon shape.

Whether in movement or rest, in the flow of spiritual power, they responded effortlessly to Wang Ba’s will as easily as his moving arm, all depending on a fleeting thought from Wang Ba.

Moreover, Wang Ba faintly felt that if he could utilise the power of these ‘Mysterious Dragons’, perhaps he could display the power of a Master of the Golden Core.

“Is this the power of Dao soldiers?!”

Feeling the surging spiritual power coming from the group of Mysterious Dragon soldiers, Wang Ba was somewhat shocked.

But he thought about even more.

“It is said that Princess Gao has five hundred Dao soldiers refined by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage… I wonder if they were refined in the same way as I did, and how powerful they are…”

But he did not linger in such emotions for too long.

An already full timetable now had one more task added to it.

Training Mysterious Dragon soldiers.

Dao soldiers are not set in a fixed state; they can continue to grow with the constant training from cultivators and investment of resources.

To fully unleash the power of Dao soldiers, it often requires a lot of practice from the cultivators.

Time flew quickly amidst the cultivation and training.

And even though they barely left Tang Ji’s residence, both Wang Ba and Zhao Feng could sense the ever-growing tense atmosphere in Guannei.

At this time, only the transparent giant dome formed by the Class IV upper grade ‘Five Dragons Imprison Array’ outside Yanqiao Pass could provide the cultivators inside Yanqiao Pass with some sense of security.

…

Qiao State.

Linglun Mountain.

This was once the site of the largest Sect in Qiao State, the Beihuan Palace.

With the invasion of the Kingdom of Immortals and the arrival of many Chu Dynasty cultivators, it had become the actual core of Qiao State’s efforts to counter the invasion of the Kingdom of Immortals.

However, with the rapid deterioration of the front line situation, the atmosphere on Linglun Mountain became quite heavy.

That day.

On Linglun Mountain, Immortal Masters of Nascent Soul from various places, whose auras were either profound as abyss or grand and bright, or cold and ruthless, flew in from all directions.

“Prince Gao!”

“Patriarch Xiao, you came too?”

“I had to come. Not only is the situation in Qiao State critical, but the situation in Jing State and Yue Kingdom is also difficult. Given the current situation, only by pulling our efforts together can we overcome this…”

Several figures of Nascent Soul cultivators ran into each other in mid-air and began to exchange greetings.

But everyone’s mood seemed quite stifled.

“Yes, why did Prince You call us here specially? Why didn’t he explain it in the Sound Transmission Talisman?”

A Nascent Soul cultivator finally could not help but ask.

Prince Gao, Xiang Huang, was the highest-ranking royal member among the cultivators present. He immediately apologized:

“I beg for your understanding, Master Lu. Uncle Wang was concerned about eavesdroppers. Our previous actions against the Incense Fire Dao have been repeatedly detected by them, and we cannot rule out the possibility of a spy in our midst. Therefore, this gathering was arranged without further explanation.”
