Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 638: True Dragon

Once Hai Pofeng led the Sea Clan's large army to withdraw from the battlefield, they wasted no time on the way and headed directly towards Red Rock Valley. Almost simultaneously, he contacted the ancestors of the clan, seeking further instructions while also reaching out to the Third Rank experts scattered in various parts of Demon Wind Gobi, requesting them to hurry and join the main army.

As Shocking ThunderSpirit General, who was on reconnaissance duty in the east, noticed the departing Sea Clan's large army from afar, he didn't immediately flee but instead approached for closer inspection to understand the enemy's situation. The Sea Clan's army was filled with formidable experts who quickly noticed Shocking ThunderSpirit General's presence. Several Third Rank experts broke away from the group and flew towards Shocking ThunderSpirit General.

Rather than engaging in combat, Shocking ThunderSpirit General chose to retreat each time, and once they returned to their ranks, he flew back to continue the reconnaissance. This repetitive behavior angered the strong warriors within the Sea Clan's army.

A Sea Patrolling Yaksha, possessing the strength of the Gold Corelate stage, held a formidable weapon and led several Third Rank experts to take action, showing a determined attitude to take down Shocking ThunderSpirit General.

Being a seasoned veteran, Shocking ThunderSpirit General was quick to seize the opportunity and escaped the encirclement, leaving the enemy frustrated and helpless as they watched his retreating figure.

Now that Shocking ThunderSpirit General had a clear understanding of the Sea Clan's army movements, there was no need for him to linger outside any longer. He swiftly flew back to Red Rock Valley.

By the time Shocking ThunderSpirit General returned, the second Third Rank defensive formation within Red Rock Valley had already been set up and successfully activated. Elite Taiyi Sect cultivators had been teleported to Red Rock Valley using the Mother-Child Transmission Disc and joined the defense.

In this situation, Meng Zhang felt confident. Shocking ThunderSpirit General brought news that the Sea Clan's large army was about to arrive. Meng Zhang ordered the Taiyi Sect disciples to prepare for battle.

Hai Pofeng, leading the Sea Clan's large army, continued to make their way to Red Rock Valley. Along the journey, they gradually gathered some of the previously scattered Sea Clan experts, making their force even more powerful.

When this army arrived near Red Rock Valley, the three Sea Clan Third Rank experts, who had been monitoring the area, approached Hai Pofeng and reported the enemy's strength and the existence of the Third Rank defensive formation. Hai Pofeng felt a headache upon hearing this.

Human Clan cultivators were not beasts; they possessed numerous methods applicable in warfare. Breaking a Third Rank defensive formation alone would require the Sea Clan's army to pay a heavy price in lives. As a superior race, Hai Pofeng didn't particularly care about the lives of the inferior races. However, if the army suffered significant losses, it would be difficult for him to explain to the ancestors.

Just the thought of the sudden appearance of Human Clan cultivators, launching a surprise attack, and occupying Red Rock Valley with geographical advantages made Hai Pofeng furious.

The cautious him, leading the Sea Clan's large army, arrived outside Red Rock Valley, but instead of hastily ordering an attack, he relayed the situation here to the elder of the Mermaid Human Clan.

About ten thousand li (a Chinese measurement equivalent to about 3.3 miles) north of Red Rock Valley, there was originally a sparse and low forest. In the vast Demon Wind Gobi, even such a forest was extremely rare and almost unique. The only Fourth Rank monster of the Demon Wind Gobi, the Long-nose Monster King, had its nest located in this area. It usually slept in its nest and rarely went out. Occasionally, when it did venture out, it wouldn't stay away for too long.

However, its reclusive nature didn't save it from disaster. Not long ago, two Fourth Rank experts, Hai Duomou from the Mermaid Human Clan and Meng Dali from the Sea Patrolling Yaksha, joined forces and completely killed it here. Now, the two victorious elders were meditating and adjusting their states here.

Not far from the two elders, a young man with the head of a dragon and the body of a human stood proudly, possessing an imposing aura that was in no way inferior to theirs. This young man was named Ying Gaofei, a member of the True Dragon clan, and he held a noble status with strong bloodlines.

Although the two elders had a higher Cultivation Base than First Rank, due to the natural bloodline suppression, they felt a bit inferior in front of this young man. The True Dragon clan resided deep within the ocean and rarely appeared on the continent. They were naturally powerful creatures and their innate bloodlines were almost at the pinnacle of the entire Grand Dust World, far surpassing all major races, including the Human Clan.

A pure-blooded True Dragon, once it reached adulthood, was at least a Third Rank creature. Because of their powerful talents and many bloodline inheritances of extraordinary techniques, their combat prowess was astonishing. Other races' Third Rank experts were almost unable to match an adult True Dragon.

Of course, with advantages come disadvantages. The astonishing innate bloodline of the True Dragon also limited their further progress. Cultivating to the Third Rank as a True Dragon, equivalent to the human Gold Core stage, was straightforward and effortless. Simply eating and sleeping, by the end of the year, they would naturally enter the Third Rank late stage or even Third Rank completion.

However, for a True Dragon to break through to the Fourth Rank, equivalent to the human Primordial Spirit stage of Cultivation Base, was very difficult. Many naturally powerful True Dragons lacked the ambition and courage to attempt this breakthrough. Otherwise, with the large number of Third Rank True Dragons, if they could normally give birth to Fourth Rank experts, the True Dragon clan would have long been the world's number one race, completely dominating the Grand Dust World.

Although Third Rank True Dragons were powerful, to truly intervene in the situation of the Grand Dust World, they wouldn't be enough; only Fifth Rank great powers could do so.

Within the True Dragon clan, Third Rank True Dragons were abundant, Fourth Rank True Dragons were not many, and whether Fifth Rank great powers existed or not, even many True Dragons were uncertain.

Ying Gaofei, as a strong member of the True Dragon clan, did not lack the drive for improvement like some of his kin. After reaching adulthood, he had traveled multiple times, seizing various opportunities to temper himself. He was an ambitious individual who not only wanted to break through to the Fourth Rank but also wished to make a name for himself.

Over three hundred years ago, Ying Gaofei journeyed to the sea to the west of Demon Wind Gobi. Although he only had a Third Rank Cultivation Base, he easily subdued the surrounding Sea Clan due to his noble True Dragon bloodline. Even the Fourth Rank elders of the Mermaid Human Clan and Sea Patrolling Yaksha voluntarily came before him and paid their respects.

After integrating the power of the surrounding Sea Clan, Ying Gaofei harbored desires for the Demon Wind Gobi beside the sea. The True Dragon clan had long lifespans, and even Third Rank True Dragons had a lifespan far beyond that of Human Clan Primordial Spirit stage cultivators. In their long lives, conducting an expansion war over several hundred years was just an interesting experience for Ying Gaofei. In such a war, he could also gain training and obtain many rewards.
