Capítulo 1019: Chapter 441: Tactical Innovation, Dragon’s Roar over the Distant Seas (Part 2)
The gaze of the Heavenly Emperor Body slightly changes.
What Han Qi ntioned seems to resemble the Sky Mother Ship or even the Floating City.
But indeed, it sowhat suits the battle style of the Jiushan Sect he has in mind.
This thing can rapidly and massively transport troops and resources, allowing disciples to easily form an Immortal Formation.
It can also serve as a front-line command center and supply point.
It’s not that other disciples of the Jiushan Sect can’t perform flying escape, but the division of labor within the sect has beco increasingly apparent, with specialized skills focused on speed being more prominent. Lifebound Magical Treasures and disciples dedicated to speed will undoubtedly be faster than others, and the more they delve, the faster they beco.
Compared to the previous idea of the Shenxiao Army, Han Qi’s idea seems to go further, or rather, fits more into the Jiushan Sect’s system.
Imagine the scenario where Jiushan Sect faces off against other forces in the future; such a scene is truly hard to describe.
Especially since this idea was proposed by Han Qi.
This made the Heavenly Emperor Body even more pleasantly surprised:
Han Qi was just at Foundation Establishnt stage when they first t, timid and bullying new disciples, harboring resentnt towards the sect.
Now, not only has he achieved Nascent Soul cultivation, but he also has ideas. More importantly, he’s willing to contribute his wisdom for the sect.
This transformation alone is enough to please him—at least, he feels he has sowhat changed a person.
“This suggestion is not bad. It not only has great prospects for developnt but also serves as an excellent enhancent for the current caravans.”
With the changes in the sea domain nowadays, the trade routes may not be as safe as they once imagined. If Han Qi’s proposal can be realized, forming an Immortal Formation with Shenxiao Warships is also a way to respond.
“I will discuss this with the elders.”
“Yes!”
Han Qi was joyful to see his words being taken seriously, and he withdrew with great enthusiasm.
The Heavenly Emperor Body didn’t keep Han Qi in the dark; he directly summoned Lady Xuanhua and Master Pang.
“It’s not just about warships; this idea of establishing a transport, command, and supply hub is interesting,” Master Pang agreed. “Especially with the vast sea domain, we find it hard to reach.”
These words held deep anings.
The Heavenly Emperor Body looked at Master Pang, his eyes filled with doubt.
“Recently, Shuyu Dragon Lord has been acting a bit strange,” Master Pang said softly. “She visits the Jiushan Realm frequently to check the dragon eggs, but on other days, she stays in the far north of the sea domain, and our patrolling disciples have seen her there several tis.”
Previously, due to the changes in the sea domain, Jiushan Sect increased its monitoring efforts both south and north, setting up several observation points.
Lady Xuanhua was perplexed, “With the significant changes in the sea domain, it makes sense for the Dragon Lord to be concerned, doesn’t it?”
Master Pang shook his head lightly, “Initially, there’s nothing wrong with that, but didn’t the Dragon Lord say she would inform us if she discovered anything?”
“…”
Lady Xuanhua fell silent.
The Heavenly Emperor Body also understood Master Pang’s implication—
Shuyu Dragon Lord visits the Jiushan Realm almost every ten days, but she never ntions anything about the sea domain changes.
Of course, it’s possible the Dragon Lord hasn’t discovered anything.
Yet, her constant visits to the far north of the sea domain don’t quite add up.
Master Pang, experienced with the ways of the world, has his own thod of judging people. His speculation is not unfounded.
Seeing their silence, Master Pang spoke softly, “Therefore, it’s necessary to strengthen the caravan’s capabilities… The Dragon Lord may still be trustworthy, but relying on others is ultimately not secure.”
These words are undeniable.
The caravan is one of Jiushan Sect’s lifelines and cannot be valued too highly.
The Heavenly Emperor Body nodded slightly, aware of Shuyu Dragon Lord’s changing thoughts even earlier than Master Pang.
Thinking of this, he looked through the hall doors toward the Green Dragon Inn.
…
In the Green Dragon Inn, Shuyu Dragon Lord crouched by the pool, gently touching the three dragon eggs.
Jiao Wuji had cultivated two more viable dragon eggs, but no more had been produced—
Firstly, to conserve so genetic material, since they don’t know whether the cultivation will succeed, and if it doesn’t, further improvent will be needed later.
Secondly, the growth of the Ancient Dragon Clan requires quite a lot of resources; Shuyu Dragon Lord is also worried she can’t afford it.
These three dragon eggs have now beco familiar with Shuyu Dragon Lord. Not only do they resonate with her aura, but at tis they even tremble slightly in response to her touch.
This makes Shuyu Dragon Lord even more fond of these dragon eggs, so every few days, she can’t help but co to see and check them.
As evening fell, she reluctantly got up, glanced at Jiao Wuji beside her, and seed to have thought of sothing, taking out a piece of Spirit Grass.
This Spirit Grass is slender, with four branches growing upward, resembling a divine dragon soaring upward.
“Is it… Dragon Transformation Grass?”
Jiao Wuji was both surprised and delighted, seemingly unable to believe his eyes.
“Yes, this one is a thousand-year-old specin. Although it cannot fully evolve your bloodline, it can still enhance cultivation, reducing obstacles in the future,” Shuyu Dragon Lord said with a smile. “If you do well, I have even higher quality, better treasures.”
“Thank you, Dragon Lord!”
Shuyu Dragon Lord waved her hand and leisurely left the Jiushan Realm.
After she left, Blood River Ancestor flew to Jiao Wuji’s side, furrowing his brow.
“Why does this Dragon Lord keep giving you treasures?”
Jiao Wuji glanced down at the dragon eggs, shook his head, and said softly, “I feel the Dragon Lord is trying to win over.”
Blood River Ancestor turned towards him, staring intently, “Don’t drag into this.”
Both of them had surrendered to the sect, and their identities were sensitive.
Although they were treated no differently from others in Jiushan Sect, even holding elder status.
But both were very cautious, always keeping a low profile, hardly ever leaving the Jiushan Realm.
Blood River Ancestor’s current worry is that Jiao Wuji might beco weak-willed—
It’s not that Shuyu Dragon Lord is stronger or more promising than Jiushan Sect.
Instead, Jiao Wuji has always been both respectful and afraid of the Dragon Lord, his blood being heavily suppressed.
“Do you think I’m stupid?” Jiao Wuji glanced at Blood River Ancestor and said with a cold smile, “Every ti the Dragon Lord gives a treasure, I’ve reported it to the Sect Leader.”
“Good to see you’re sensible.”
Blood River Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiao Wuji smiled smugly.
“Not to ntion our Soul Seals are still in the Sect Leader’s hands, just talk about this Dragon Transformation Grass…” Jiao Wuji glanced toward Ziwei Yuan and sneered, “The Sect Leader’s Great Sun True Fire purifies bloodlines much better than this grass. When the Sect Leader advances, my benefits are assured.”
“Indeed.”
“Moreover, Jiao Wuji thinks cultivating dragon eggs is solely his achievent, unaware of the Jiushan system…” Jiao Wuji chuckled, “Without Master Qian, without the Sect Leader, without these disciples, what am I, and what do I have for research?”
Blood River Ancestor nodded repeatedly.
Cultivating dragon eggs is no small task; without the cooperation of other disciples, even though they’re Divinity Transformation, it’s difficult to make bricks without straw.
“She is from the Ancient Dragon Clan, yes, but the Sect Leader can provide much more,” Jiao Wuji looked in the direction where Shuyu Dragon Lord left, a smile on his face. “And I don’t have to bow and scrape; who wants to serve the Dragon Lord?”
…
After leaving the Jiushan Realm, Shuyu Dragon Lord also felt sowhat troubled.
Though unaware of Jiao Wuji’s thoughts, she could sense his indifference.
“My disciple too, and this Jiao Wuji, I don’t know what kind of Enchanting Soup Jiushan Sect and Zheng Fa have fed them.”
Even if Xiao Yuying, her disciple, were injured, she wouldn’t lean back towards her.
Jiao Wuji… even though he wasn’t nurtured by her, under blood suppression, he surprisingly sticks to his principles.
This made Shuyu Dragon Lord find it unbelievable.
She doesn’t really harbor any intentions of betrayal but rather is planning ahead.
Shuyu Dragon Lord arrived at the far north of the sea domain.
The fog ahead was thinning, and the twisted spatial lines had nearly disappeared.
“Ancient Dragon Clan… Ocean Dominators.”
Shuyu Dragon Lord looked ahead, her face troubled.
But it’s evident this sea domain is valued by Jiushan Sect… should there be Ancient Dragon Clan, conflicts with Jiushan Sect will arise.
How should she position herself?
Ideally, her loyalty belongs to Jiushan Sect.
Yet…
Just as she was contemplating, a dragon call sounded from the depths of the mist.
The previously calm sea surface turned turbulent with towering waves.
The mist before her quivered as if lting before the intense sun, visibly dissipating.
Clouds and rain seed obedient soldiers, marching through the sky, one after another.
Shuyu Dragon Lord stood stunned on the sea surface, gazing towards the source of the dragon call, shedding two lines of clear tears involuntarily.
Since her birth, in almost a million years, this was the first ti she heard a call from her kin.
