Chapter 81: The Incredible Great Xia Dynasty
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor:Atlas Studios
The Black Sea of the Yun Prefecture covered a large expanse. It seemed like an inland sea.
However, although it was called the Black Sea, it was actually a lake.
The scenery of this lake was picturesque. If not for the terrifying greater demon hidden within, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a paradise on earth.
A group of over ten people flew over on flying swords from the south of the Yun Prefecture.
Their clothes fluttered in the wind and exuded extraordinary auras. They had the demeanor of immortals.
They were the cream of the crop among the current generation disciples of the Clear Void Holy Land of the Huaxia Continent.
The weakest was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while five of them were at the Soul Formation realm.
These five people were also ranked among the nine orders of the Clear Void Holy Land. They were known as the Nine Sons of Clear Void.
The person in the lead was the fifth-order—Duan Tianming.
With a late-stage Soul Formation Stage cultivation, he possessed the Water Spirit Dao Body, ranked seventh on the Heavenly Fate Dynasty’s 3000 Physiques Rankings.
The few of them flew at extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, they were already 50 kilometers away. Soon, they arrived above the Black Sea.
However, just as the group arrived, their gazes were attracted by the Heavenly Dao Rankings in the distance.
Their eyes widened in surprise.
“Dragon Slaying Sword and Li Qingyun! He’s in the Great Xia Dynasty!” Duan Tianming frowned.
The others looked at the three rankings with complicated expressions, and the shock in their eyes intensified.
They had heard rumors that Li Qingyun might be in a country in the north region.
The Great Elder even secretly sent people to investigate Li Qingyun.
They did not expect to find Li Qingyun’s name on the Great Xia Dynasty’s Heavenly Dao Rankings.
Duan Tianming was the only person among them who had seen Li Qingyun fight his way into the Clear Void Holy Land.
Hence, he instinctively feared Li Qingyun.
Fortunately, almost a hundred years had passed. Duan Tianming had also gone from that brat in the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm back then to the true expert in the late stage of the Soul Formation Realm now.
Furthermore, while Li Qingyun was in the Great Xia Dynasty, the Jade Pure Dao Sect still requested help from the Clear Void Holy Land.
It should mean that Li Qingyun’s cultivation had not recovered and was no longer a threat.
However, Li Qingyun’s name was not the only thing that surprised them.
There was also Li Yu, who topped all three rankings.
Is this Li Yu Li Qingyun’s son?
He’s only 17 years old, and he’s actually stronger than Gu Yugi?
One had to know that Gu Yugi topped the Heavenly Fate Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings!
A 28-year-old Soul Formation Stage cultivator was one of the top prodigies in the world.
Yet, Li Yu was only 17 years old, and he had actually ranked ahead of Gu Yugi.
Is this because he had the home advantage?
That’s ridiculous!
Gu Yuqi had actually entered the Qingyun Sect in the Great Xia Dynasty?
And his Ancient God Body was ranked behind Li Yu?
And… What kind of sword is that ordinary-looking sword that’s even more powerful than the Dragon Slaying Sword?
The Dragon Slaying Sword used to rank first in their Heavenly Fate Dynasty.
Even their Holy Lord’s divine weapon could only sit in second place.
Yet, the Dragon Slaying Sword was also ranked behind Li Yu’s weapon.
And.
At the moment, everyone from the Clear Void Holy Land could not calm their hearts.
The information from the Great Xia Dynasty’s Heavenly Dao Rankings was too much for them to digest for a moment.
There were too many things that they could not understand.
Including why Gu Yugi decided to enter Qingyun Sect?
The Clear Void Holy Land had issued an invitation in the past, but he had rejected them.
Later on, they heard that Gu Yugqj’s sect had been destroyed by an unknown force, and Gu Yuqi’s whereabouts became unknown.
They did not expect him to be in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Of course, what they could not understand was.
What the hell is that human body in front of the Ancient God Body?
It simply baffled them.
The Heavenly Dao Rankings no longer had any annotations regarding the human body.
Therefore, everyone from the Clear Void Holy Land was perplexed.
Was this ‘human body’ the most ordinary human body?
Or could it be something else, some unknown powerful physique?
Most importantly, all these unusual events were related to Li Qingyun, which gave them mixed feelings.
“Senior Brother, do you know what sort of physique that person possesses? Have you never heard of it in the past?” Luo Ziyang asked.
“I don’t know. Perhaps we’re poorly informed, but the Great Xia Dynasty is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. I can’t believe there are so many extraordinary physiques!” Duan Tianming replied.
The Connate Sword Body, the Great Expanse Dao Body, and the Stellar Dao Body were physiques that could rank in the top ten in their Heavenly Fate Dynasty.
And there were so many powerful physiques in a small country in the north region. This was beyond his expectations.
“Senior Brother, Li Qingyun recovered the Dragon Slaying Sword but has been hiding in this small country in the northern region. He must have let go of what happened back then. After all, young people like tough talks. Now that so many years have passed, he should have disregarded all enmity. Why
don’t we pay a visit to the Qingyun Sect after we kill the Mystic Flood Dragon? I’m very curious about Li Yu!”
The person who spoke was a handsome young man with an extraordinary bearing.
Qin Yueheng was the son of the Clear Void Holy Land’s Justice Hall Master.
He was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm at the age of 25.
He was only inferior to Gu Yuqi on the Heavenly Fate Dynasty’s Hidden Dragon Rankings at second place.
Moreover, he had the True Yang Sacred Body, second only to the Ancient God Body.
In the future, he would definitely be a candidate for the Clear Void Holy Land’s Order, and he might even become the next Holy Son.
He was not here to subdue the Mystic Flood Dragon.
He only followed the group out to travel and see the northern region that he had never been to before.
He did not expect to visit such an incredible country in the north—the Great Xia Dynasty.
Naturally, it was mainly because of Li Yu.
Therefore, Qin Yueheng wanted to meet Li Yu and witness his superior capability.
“Maybe. Let’s move on. We’ll subdue the Mystic Flood Dragon first. We must obtain the Unitary Heavy Water!” Duan Tianming urged.
He possessed the Water Spirit Dao Body, and the Unitary Heavy Water was of great use to him. Thus, he had personally led everyone here.
It was for the sake of killing the Mystic Flood Dragon and obtaining the natural oddity, the Unitary Heavy Water.
According to the information provided by the Jade Pure Dao Sect,
The Black Sea Mystic Flood Dragon’s cultivation was at most comparable to an early-stage Soul Formation Realm cultivator.
However, it possessed the Unitary Heavy Water, a powerful natural oddity. Coupled with the fact that it was hidden in the lake, it was difficult to subdue.
Perfected Yu Hua had lost due to the attack of the Unitary Heavy Water.
Regardless, the group had their own ways to settle such a demon beast.
After flying for some time, Duan Tianming suddenly stopped.
Sensing the abnormal movements of the spirit beast in his sleeve, Duan Tianming asked, “Ling Xu, can you tell the exact location of the Mystic Flood Dragon?”
“It’s in the water right below!” A girl-like voice sounded.
Hearing that, Duan Tianming looked at the people beside him. “Junior Brothers, get ready to set up the array formation!”
“Yes, Senior Brother!” Everyone scattered instantly.
The twelve figures were distributed in specific positions.
At the same time, they formed hand seals and took out spirit banners.
The spirit banners grew in the wind as golden light flourished. Runes flew up from it.
A huge Taichi Eight Trigrams Totem manifested in the sky above everyone and pressed down.
Immediately, gigantic sword shadows that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth manifested, forming the shape of a barrel.
They pierced into the water below with a bang and formed a cage.
Right at this moment, a roar sounded from the sky, startling Duan Tianming and the others. They looked over in surprise.
A gigantic flood dragon was flying over.
“Mm? Why is the Mystic Flood Dragon in the sky?”
Qin Yueheng, watching from the side, looked into the distance in surprise before focusing his gaze.
“Wait, that’s a Purple Lightning Flood Dragon!”
