Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1329 - 14: The Campaigns of Yin Xiu, Two Rare Treasures, the Might of the Cloud-climbing Vine!

Gu Ting Kingdom, Li Palace.

Li Palace is Yin Li's royal palace, situated on a towering mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. The palace stands tall and majestic, resembling a giant beast from the immortal realm, exuding an aura of authority.

It is built against the mountain, making the mountain seem like its natural base, as if it is one with the palace.

The palace's peaks are like long spears piercing the sky, with the heads of dragon bones at their tips.

There are many such peaks, and each dragon head bone is a testament to the battles of Yin Li and Yin Xiu.

Every dragon bone is of Dragon King level! Their colors vary, resonating with the colors of the Five Elements Wind and Thunder!

The Dragon Crystal Towers surrounding the royal palace have increased in number.

They are the energy foundation of the Transmission Array, connecting to the Central Dragon Court. Originally, there was only one Central Teleportation Array here, but now there are dozens.

In the central square of Li Palace stands a lifelike statue of Dragon Crystal, with its angry eyes wide open, dragon whiskers fluttering in the wind, as if ready to spring to life and soar into the heavens at any moment.

Its size, compared to other Great Dragon Kings, can be considered small, yet it carries divine charm, resembling the Ancestor Dragon to some extent, but not quite the Ancestor Dragon.

This is the appearance of Zhao Xing when performing the Ancestor Dragon Transformation; the brothers Yin Li and Yin Xiu crafted it into a divine statue based on this.

Returning to the Dragon Court once more, Zhao Xing was somewhat nostalgic: "When I first entered the Dragon Court, I was only forty-something years old; entering for the fourth time, I'm already over three hundred."

"The Dragon Court Ancient Land has finally reached its end."

After entering the Li Palace area, Zhao Xing immediately initiated the Ancestor Dragon Transformation.

"Roar!"

A Dragon Roar echoed into the royal palace.

Hog, who was resting in the royal palace, suddenly opened his eyes, filled with excitement.

"It's the Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Emperor is back!"

From Hog's dragon head immediately emerged a phantom, representing his Dragon Spirit.

"Gu Ting Kingdom's Dragon King 'Hog' pays respect to my emperor." Hog prostrated himself on the ground.

"Hog, why are you the only one in the palace?" Zhao Xing invoked Eastern Emperor Golden Characters to inquire.

Hog appeared during the second entry into the Dragon Court; he awakened voluntarily due to Zhao Xing's arrival and because of a war within Gu Ting Kingdom at the time, which seized two territories.

Hog's strength surpasses that of Yin Li, but is weaker than 'Yin Xiu,' the heir of Eastern Emperor Golden Characters.

Since then, Gu Ting Kingdom has entered an era governed by three kings.

"Dragon Emperor, both Yin Xiu and Yin Li are at war with Dragon Abyss Kingdom; one is in Leixiao Territory, the other in Haisang Territory."

"I was slightly injured in previous battles, and my body is recovering in the spirit pool inside the palace. I can only meet you with my Dragon Spirit, I ask for your forgiveness, my emperor."

Zhao Xing shrunk his size and entered the Li Palace.

Li Palace merges with the mountain; inside the mountain, there is a massive Fire Spirit Pond, where a colossal dragon is immersed, exactly Hog's body.

Hog's original scale color was black, but now the flames bathing him have turned his scales fiery red, making him look like a fire dragon.

"Hog's body is incredibly powerful, famous for its physical might. Yin Xiu and Yin Li excel in spells; even he was injured, indicating fierce battles in recent years." Zhao Xing mused silently.

He began examining the battle records of Gu Ting Royal City over the past century.

[Dragon Emperor Era Year, Dragon Emperor 'Zhao' was born. Gu Ting Kingdom's Dragon King Yin Xiu was decreed as the first war general by Dragon Emperor 'Zhao.']

Gu Ting Kingdom's chronicles had a separate volume starting from Zhao Xing's first entry three hundred years ago.

[The 52nd year of Dragon Emperor, Ruize Kingdom provoked at 'Blazing Fire Territory,' Dragon King 'Xiu' led troops to counterattack, capturing 'Hundred Mountain Territory' of Ruize Kingdom.]

[The 55th year of Dragon Emperor, Frost Flower Kingdom invaded the eastern part of the kingdom, Dragon King 'Xiu' led troops to counterattack, capturing 'Seven-Colored Sea' of Frost Flower Kingdom.]

Zhao Xing nodded; these two territories were the reason he questioned Yin Xiu during his second entry into the Dragon Court, asking why he started a war without permission.

He only instructed Yin Xiu to prepare for war, but not to start it immediately. It was crucial to wait for the right moment.

What moment? Zhao Xing left a message for Yin Xiu to judge: The cyclone emerges from the Heavenly Pool, and Primordial Qi surges from the Evil Sea.

These are the signs of the Primordial Qi Tide!

So when the outside world was in the early Yuan Shou, Yin Xiu's campaigns became frequent.

[Dragon Emperor Era 158, Dragon King 'Li' led fifteen thousand lords to invade Beiling Sea Country.]

[Dragon Emperor Era 159, Dragon King 'Li' slew Dragon King 'Xin.']

[Dragon Emperor Era Year 162, Dragon King 'Li' conquered Beiling Sea Country, renaming Beiling Sea Country to 'Beiling Territory.']

...

[Dragon Emperor Era Year 170, Dragon King 'Xiu' led thirty thousand lords to campaign against 'Sky Dragon Ancient Country.' Sky Dragon King 'Bin' awakened, summoning national lords to resist. Dragon King 'Xiu' commanded dragons with Dragon Emperor Golden Text, leading half of the lords to surrender without fighting.]

[Dragon Emperor Era Year 173, 'Bin' refused to submit to the Dragon Emperor's will, Dragon King Xiu deployed 'Dragon Battle Xuanhuang Formation,' slaying Dragon King 'Bin' in 'Siye Territory.' Sky Dragon Ancient Country destroyed.]

[Dragon Emperor Era Year 183, Dragon King 'Xiu' conquered 'Dragon Wood Kingdom,' alone going to Heavenly Wood River to face three, preaching Talent Secret Skill of Dragon Clan, subduing Green Leaf Dragon King 'Hong' at Heavenly Wood River, Hua Dragon King was slain, Dragon King 'Ci' whereabouts unknown.]

[203rd Year of Dragon Emperor, Dragon King Xiu...]

...

Looking at the records, Zhao Xing nodded silently.

The campaigns of Gu Ting Kingdom were mostly led by Yin Xiu.

Compared to Yin Li's recklessness, Yin Xiu's campaigns appeared more rhythmic and strategic, not merely focused on killing.

Thus, after one major battle, Yin Li retreated from the frontline, allowing Yin Xiu to take full control of war leadership, while Hog and Yin Xiu, the two dragons, remained in Gu Ting Kingdom for defense and logistics.
