Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 408 - 405: Giant Dragon VS True Dragon
```
Gu Wuxi chuckled lightly, clearly very pleased with Qin Feng's eager attitude to contribute to the Sect.
He said, "As for when to take action, we have to wait for the message from Gui Ling Ancestor because investigating so many Demon Sect strongholds is not an easy task. Also, to prevent the Demon Great Powers from sensing the danger from the ether and discovering any discrepancies, Gui Ling Ancestor is currently concealing the Heavenly Mechanism with a Great Power from the War God Palace."
"However, this plan has already been in place for several years, and many people from the Demon Sect have exchanged a significant number of resources and treasures from the Flame Demon World, so we shouldn't have to wait much longer."
"That's great."
Qin Feng, somewhat excited, said, "The major Sects of the Southern Domain taking action together will surely capture all those Demon Sect villains in one fell swoop."
"Difficult!"
Gu Wuxi slightly shook his head, "Since the Ancient Great Tribulation, the Demon Sect has hidden in darkness for tens of thousands of years. While it's partially due to the permissiveness of the higher powers above, their ability to hide for so long means they have numerous tricky methods. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone those sinister and cunning Demon Sect felons.
With the coordination of the War God Palace, I believe that all Sects acting together will definitely achieve a great victory and eliminate eight or nine out of ten of the high-ranking members of the Demon Sect, though there inevitably will be some that slip through the net, whom we will have to slowly deal with afterwards."
"This..."
Qin Feng slightly frowned, "If those who are lucky enough to escape start to secretly take revenge on the disciples of various Sects, won't that be problematic?
For other families it might be manageable, but our Beast Taming Sect, being the initiator, is likely to be targeted by many of those remaining Demon Sect members."
"That indeed is a problem."
Gu Wuxi nodded, then said, "But you need not worry too much. The Sect will naturally set up some traps to lure those Demon Sect members ten in. Once they expose themselves, they will certainly not escape death.
Without the protection of the Demon Great Powers, the remaining Demon Cultivators won't be able to stir any waves. The less there are, the weaker they will become.
Moreover, we still have Gui Ling Ancestor orchestrating the overall plan, calculating auspicious and ominous signs, so no major chaos will arise!"
"True!"
Hearing Gu Wuxi mention the predictive powers of Gui Ling Ancestor, Qin Feng recalled that there was no need to search for those Demon Sect members as if searching for a needle in the sea; they still had the Daoist Divine Power of the Heavenly Mechanism Calculation.
With the abilities of Gui Ling Ancestor, even without catching any trace, he could still calculate some information. Should any Demon Sect member dare to show themselves, they would undoubtedly not escape death.
As long as the various Sects could eliminate all the Demon Great Powers above the Immortal Realm, and without the Demon Great Powers' protection, the ordinary Demon Immortals might not know how to conceal their own fateful mechanisms. If any trace is left and captured by Gui Ling Ancestor or a similar existence, it would be possible to roughly deduce their hiding places, and then deploy several Immortals to eliminate them specifically.
"Don't worry. With the suppression of the various Sects, within a century, the Demon Sect will completely disappear from the Biluo Great World. Even if a few manage to escape and hide in places that disrupt the Heavenly Mechanism Calculation, they won't dare show their faces and will forever remain hidden in the shadows like rats, posing no substantial threat."
Gu Wuxi smiled and said, "Next, all the Sects will accelerate their expedition steps. No one wants to worry about the Demon Sect causing trouble behind their backs during the expedition to Otherworlds Hence, this time, all the Sects will give their all. Adding that the strength of the Demon Sect was originally far from matching our various Sects, annihilating them will not be difficult."
"In that case, the disciple will no longer pay attention to those Demon Cultivators in the markets and will just await the Sect's decree."
Qin Feng nodded, just about to take his leave, when he suddenly remembered something, "Disciple had earlier learned that in Wanfa Sect's territory, the Han Kingdom's Pingyang County, there is a Golden Jiao. I plan to go and check it out. Since all the Elders are here, disciple will greet them now, saving the need for another report."
"Hmm, go if you want to."
Gu Wuxi and a few Elders did not oppose this, "Young people should indeed get out more, to see the outside world, instead of staying in the Sect all day thinking the world is only so large.
There are countless talents and opportunities in the world; venturing more will benefit you."
"Yes, then disciple takes his leave."
Qin Feng bowed, bidding farewell to the Sect Master and the Elders.
Earlier, when he was in the market, hearing the three young men and women of Wanfa Sect mention the Golden Jiao had sparked his interest.
A Purple Mansion Realm Golden Jiao, certainly having comprehended the Gold Element Principle, was the most suitable for the Ruyi Golden Snake.
```
Even though the Ruyi Golden Snake's True Yuan cultivation was stronger than his, it couldn't comprehend the Power of Laws on its own. This kind of comprehension could only rely on him to figure out a way.
So, he set his sights on the Golden Jiao.
With the Demon Refining Pot in hand, was there an easier way to let his Lifebound Spiritual Beast obtain the Rule Power?
Anyway, he hadn't thought about comprehending the laws on his own anytime soon.
After returning to Heavenly Snake Ridge and bidding farewell to his second senior brother, to avoid delays due to over-prolonged nights, Qin Feng didn't linger and immediately left the Mountain Gate to travel to the domain of the Wanfa Sect.
The distance to the Wanfa Sect from the Beast Taming Sect was more than a hundred thousand miles. Qin Feng didn't want to fly there himself, not to mention the flying speed of a Golden Core Cultivator. Just consider a cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect, who was used to riding spiritual beasts, having to fly such a long distance by himself—it was nothing short of torture.
It was like a rich scion, who was accustomed to riding in luxury horse-drawn carriages, suddenly being asked to run wildly on his own legs to another province one day—who would be willing?
Thus, several hundred miles away from the sect, after making sure there were no people nearby, Qin Feng immediately released the White Dragon and flew up above the clouds toward the distant lands.
Generally, Golden Core Cultivators wouldn't fly this high, and those who were of the Purple Mansion Realm and higher already held Elder-level positions within their sects; unless necessary, they would also not wander around everywhere, so as long as he flew quickly, he wouldn't be noticed by many.
Additionally, this was the territory of the Beast Taming Sect; no Purple Mansion Cultivator from Taiyi Mountain would dare to come here, so Qin Feng wasn't worried about being targeted by them.
Thinking of Taiyi Mountain, Qin Feng remembered the Red Lotus Sword he carried.
This sword, once an Immortal Sword and now a top-level Spiritual Treasure, was not just a powerful Flying Sword capable of infinite transformations. It also served as an Inheritance Treasure, documenting the Red Lotus Lineage's heritage and the Red Lotus Sword Immortal's comprehension of the Sword Dao.
The Red Lotus Sword Immortal had perished in battle, and on the brink of death, had infused her comprehension of the Sword Dao into the Red Lotus Immortal Sword. This was why the Red Lotus Lineage had consistently produced outstanding talents, with basically every generation's Sword Master advancing to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
However, because the Red Lotus Sword Immortal had left too many of her personal insights and rushed thoughts on the Sword Dao, her lineage, despite lasting nearly ten thousand years, had never produced another Sword Immortal.
This was because the most outstanding successor of each generation became the Sword Master, and inevitably, every Sword Master was influenced by the heritage contained within the Red Lotus Immortal Sword. Although they progressed rapidly, they easily lost their own Daoist Hearts.
Indeed, it wasn't that no one had noticed the issue; the Sword Master from two generations ago had taken a different approach, learning an unconventional technique from somewhere, hoping to refine the sword spirit within the Immortal Sword to internalize the Rule Power from the sword and refine the ancestor's Principle Comprehension into Immortal Dao.
But not only did he not succeed, but it also led to both the sword spirit and that generation's Sword Master being severely wounded. Later, during a significant battle, the sword spirit was completely destroyed, causing the Red Lotus Immortal Sword to downgrade into a top-level Spiritual Treasure. This prompted several elders of the Red Lotus Lineage to venture together into a dangerous place to seize an opportunity to repair the Red Lotus Immortal Sword.
However, the attempt ultimately failed, and only the severely wounded former Sword Master and Chu Youhong survived and escaped from that perilous place.
Qin Feng took a Jade Scroll out of his Storage Bag.
This was the introductory technique of the Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique. During his secluded cultivation, Zhuo Feifan had already delivered the technique to him through the channels of the Beast Taming Sect Dark Hall.
However, he had been in secluded cultivation previously, so he hadn't received it; the Dark Hall had delivered it again after he came out, but Qin Feng found it difficult to transform his own True Yuan into the Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Dao True Essence, or to say it wasn't pure enough, making it hard to activate the heritage within the Red Lotus Sword.
Even though he wasn't lacking in Gold Element Primordial Qi in his body, and could use the Gold-Breaking Finger and Ruyi Golden Light, both Gold Element Divine Powers, the transformed True Yuan was still missing something.
This was why Qin Feng left the Mountain Gate so quickly to go to the domain of the Wanfa Sect and search for that Jiao Dragon.
He wanted to see if, after comprehending the Gold Element Principles, the transformed Sword Dao True Essence could activate the Red Lotus Sword and access its heritage.
Although he had no intention of switching to the Sword Dao, referencing the Sword Dao Principles left by the Red Lotus Sword Immortal from the past wasn't a bad idea.
Moreover, since he was neither a cultivator of the Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique nor a Sword Cultivator specifically, as long as he didn't focus on the Sword Dao, he wouldn't be influenced by the thoughts of the Red Lotus Sword Immortal, avoiding becoming trapped in knowledge and perception barriers that could hinder breakthroughs.
On the contrary, he planned to cultivate more Powers of Laws to pave the way for his future Proving Dao, so for him, the more, the better.
Of course, this was his current thinking; whether the abundance of rules might later affect his Daoist Heart and cultivation was still unknown, as it would only become apparent once he reached that stage of cultivation.
But for now, it was mostly advantageous for him, as more Powers of Laws would help him refine the Demon Refining Pot more quickly.
Holding the Jade Scroll in his hand, Qin Feng pondered for a moment, reviewing the technique within it once more. He felt that his method of using the Gold Element Principle to transform the Sword Dao True Essence should be feasible.
Since Sword Masters commanded decisively and Gold Element was known for its sharpness, Sword Cultivators loved to incorporate the Gold Element Principle into their Sword Dao. The Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique was no exception. Although this sword technique involved both the Gold and Fire Principles, making it harder to cultivate than usual, Qin Feng thought having the Gold Element Principle should suffice, especially since he only needed to transform the introductory technique.
If push comes to shove, he could just look for another fire-attribute Purple Mansion Realm Snake Demon or Fire Jiao to bring disaster, believing that there must be a way to handle the Red Lotus Sword that has already lost its Sword Spirit!
Several days later, Qin Feng arrived in the area of Pingyang County in Han Kingdom.
He decided not to take action immediately. Firstly, he still needed to figure out where the Jiao Dragon was specifically spotted, and secondly, he needed to give the White Dragon some rest.
During these few days, Qin Long, seated on the White Dragon's back, was quite at ease, even feeling a bit bored; however, the White Dragon was flying ceaselessly, covering tens of thousands of miles every day which was very hard for it, so Qin Feng naturally couldn't treat it just like a tool.
Besides, he needed the White Dragon to exert more effort when dealing with the Golden Jiao, and its current state was not suitable for battle.
Qin Feng spent three days in Pingyang County, entering the market to gather information. He soon figured out the power distribution within Pingyang County and also pinpointed the possible location of the Jiao Dragon.
The ordinary cultivator families in Pingyang County weren't much, but the Zhao Family located on Pingyang Mountain was an exception. This family, with thousands of years of inheritance, not only had Purple Mansion cultivators stationed there but also had monks holding Elder positions in the Wanfa Sect, granting the Zhao Family supreme authority in Pingyang County, dominating the region.
Pingyang Mountain was vast, stretching thousands of miles. The Zhao Family only occupied a region with the strongest Spirit Vein, and they generally did not venture lightly into the depth of the great mountain.
For deep within this mountain laid many dangers, not only filled with poisonous miasma but also home to numerous Demon Beasts, and in recent years, there were even rumors of a Great Demon emerging in the mountain.
In previous years, many cultivators entered the mountain under the pretext of subduing demons, yet very few returned alive.
Initially, local cultivator families had jointly asked the Ancestor of Zhao Family to help deal with the Demon Beasts in the mountains, but for some unknown reason, the ancestor suddenly declared a closed-door cultivation and ignored their requests, thus, in recent years, cultivators of Pingyang County rarely ventured deep into Pingyang Mountain for resources anymore.
After gathering this information, Qin Feng did not stay long and quickly left the Pingyang Square, heading into the mountains.
Although he had not yet pinpointed the exact location of the Jiao Dragon, as a disciple of Beast Taming Sect, and knowing that a powerful Golden Jiao resided here, finding its lair was not too difficult.
Even if the Jiao Dragon was cautious, concealing its tracks diligently and hiding its cultivation cave mansion, Qin Feng could still confirm its location by inquiring other Demon Beasts in the mountain.
Even if ordinary Demon Beasts do not speak the human language, he could communicate with them using special secret techniques.
In fact, it wasn't as troublesome as Qin Feng thought; although the Jiao Dragon wasn't too arrogant, it didn't plan to conceal its aura at all.
Thus, on the second day as Qin Feng ventured deep into the mountains, while originally controlling a Fire Ape wandering in the mountains, he suddenly felt a formidable pressure envelop him.
This pressure contained the aura of a higher-ranking Demon Beast, mixed with the majestic presence of the Dragon Clan.
Although this Dragon Clan aura was mixed and impure, as someone who had spent a few months in the Dragon Transformation Pond, Qin Feng quickly recognized that this aura indeed carried Dragon Qi.
This was distinctly different from the Dragon Power of a Giant Dragon.
The Giant Dragon Clan, although strong and having detached from ordinary Demon Beasts, not only dominated a realm but also prospered in many other worlds by sending many Giant Dragons to expand in other worlds. Still, compared to True Dragons, they fell short.
Giant Dragons, once mature, possess the strength of a ninth-level Demon Beast, wielding combat power akin to a Purple Mansion cultivator.
But a mature True Dragon possesses the war power of a True Immortal.
True Dragons are called so because they are comparable to True Immortals amongst the Dragon Clan.
Among the Dragon Clan, the highest lineage is known as the Heavenly Dragon, which means they possess divine powers comparable to a Heavenly Immortal when mature!
This is why many Snake and Jiao type Demon Beasts with slight dragon bloodlines in their bodies do not wish to transform into human form; instead, they think of transforming into dragons because the Dragon Clan is naturally powerful, and it could grant them stronger divine powers.
Moreover, once transformed into a True Dragon, they could achieve longevity and it wouldn't be too late to transform into human form then!
Of course, normal Snake and Jiao type Demon Beasts have too diluted Dragon Clan bloodlines, ultimately unable to transform into True Dragons. They could only transform into Demon Dragons, merely having the form of the Dragon Clan without its divine powers. Achieving longevity still requires arduous cultivation.
Also, because of the Dragon Clan bloodlines in them, many Jiao Dragons are not only stronger than ordinary Demon Beasts but also quite arrogant in demeanor.
Just like the golden Jiao Dragon in front, lazily sprawled on a Chaotic Stone Beach, basking in the sun.
When it sensed a Demon Energy intruding into its territory from afar, it immediately unleashed a formidable pressure, attempting to expel the Demon Core Realm Fire Ape, lest its nap was disturbed.
Since a few years ago when it had driven away that Cultivator who came looking for trouble, it had initially worried about retaliation. However, after realizing that the old fellow remained in seclusion without seeking anyone to besiege it, the Golden Jiao gradually let down its guard.
Especially since so many years had passed, it had grown accustomed to a leisurely life, so much so that when it sensed the aura of the Fire Ape, it instinctively unleashed its own aura without even opening its eyes, allowing Qin Feng to easily find its location.
Qin Feng had released the Fire Ape to wander and spread its aura precisely to find the Golden Jiao through the simplest method possible.
Ordinarily, powerful Demon Beasts wouldn't tolerate strange Demon Beasts recklessly invading their territory, especially those of a lower realm.
As for why he hadn't chosen to release the White Dragon, it was because he was worried that the White Dragon's Dragon Power might cause chaos in the mountains. Whether the Golden Jiao was willing to come out or not was one thing, but it would certainly alarm the Ancestor of the Zhao Family.
Qin Feng squinted, staring at the Golden Jiao in front of him, which was covered in golden scale armor.
He noted that this Jiao Dragon was not very large, only about a dozen meters long.
This was not unusual, given the variety of Jiao Dragon species, not only because of their different Power Attributes but also because of the various bloodlines within them.
Some Jiao Dragons were descendants of True Dragons and giant pythons, like those of the Beast Taming Sect, known for their massive sizes because of this.
And then there were the offspring of True Dragons and smaller Snake Demons, which typically resulted in smaller-bodied Jiao Dragons.
This Golden Jiao in front of him likely belonged to the latter category.
Thus, even though it had ascended to the Purple Mansion Realm, its size was not particularly large.
"Roar…"
On the Chaotic Stone Beach, the Golden Jiao not only did not sense the Fire Ape leaving, but it also felt the Demon Energy getting closer, which made it impatient. It opened its eyes and lazily roared in this direction, signaling that the Fire Ape should quickly scram and not disturb its rest, otherwise it wouldn't mind tearing the Fire Ape to shreds.
However, when it saw that the Fire Ape was not frightened and continued forward, it immediately became enraged.
Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
It shook its head to dispel the drowsiness and used its front legs to prop itself up as it raised its head, only then noticing a human figure standing on the shoulder of the Fire Ape.
"Human Clan?"
After seeing Qin Feng, it immediately woke up.
However, upon recognizing Qin Feng's cultivation level, it quickly relaxed: "A mere Golden Core Realm cultivator dares to trouble me, truly tired of living. Since you wish to die, I will grant your wish."
Clearly, this Jiao Dragon had encountered various cultivators over the years.
From its youth, it had fought humans multiple times and thus harbored no good impression toward Human Clan Cultivators. Seeing Qin Feng now, its first thought was to kill him directly to avoid small troubles that might lead to bigger ones.
"Kill me?"
Qin Feng laughed.
He looked at the location of the Jiao Dragon.
In front of the Chaotic Stone Beach was a rapidly flowing river, while behind the Jiao Dragon lay a deep cave.
He tried to probe the cave with his Divine Sense, not knowing how deep it was, and evidently, it led elsewhere.
The Jiao Dragon had grown up here, and the fact that it hadn't been slain over such a long period suggested there was a reason.
Should it face an insurmountable danger, it could simply burrow into the depths of the cave and escape elsewhere. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to pursue recklessly lest they encounter other dangers within, possibly resulting in a demise void of return.
It seemed that to capture this Jiao Dragon, he would need to block its escape route.
