Free Web NovelChapter 265: Chapter 207: Four Seas Dragon Kings, Jiao Monarch Attends the Assembly
This was why Cultivators from the Ancestral Sects, who upheld the orthodox Daoist Lineage in the greater world outside, felt an immediate sense of relief upon entering a minor realm.
It was as if they had been carrying a heavy burden for a long time and were suddenly freed from their shackles, no longer bound hand and foot.
"Immortal Master, we will never forget your great benevolence!"
The Jiao Girl hastily prostrated herself, repeatedly expressing her gratitude. She even deliberately arched her rear, hoping the Immortal Master might spare her a few more glances.
’If he was stirred by lust and took me into his chambers, wouldn’t that be a meteoric rise to power?’
The Thick Eyebrow Daoist didn’t even spare her a glance, his heart completely unmoved. This kind of demon, merely tainted with the blood essence of a dragon’s offspring, was hardly a true "dragon kind."
’Sleeping with her would be a pointless defilement of my True Yang and an utter waste of Magical Power.’
"Report to me immediately if you have any news."
The Thick Eyebrow Daoist, acting as if he were the Mansion Lord, issued an order for her to leave.
The Jiao Girl dared not say another word. With her body still prostrate, she slowly backed away.
’Daoist... this Crouching Dragon Ravine will be your grave!’
A cold glint appeared in the Thick Eyebrow Daoist’s eyes. Although Gen Peak hadn’t given him any overt killing techniques—to avoid triggering karmic repercussions that might alert the other True Monarchs or even the Sect Leader—he was confident.
As a cultivator who had reached the Perfection of the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Layer and hailed from an Ancestral Sect, he was no mediocre talent from some lesser Dharma Lineage.
’How could I possibly fail to take down someone at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer?’
’A Twelfth Layer killing a Tenth Layer, with the secret aid of the Raging Jiao Mansion... victory is mine!’
The Thick Eyebrow Daoist closed his eyes. That young Daoist had entered Crouching Dragon Ravine to collect Kan-Bottom Water; he was bound to reveal his presence sooner or later.
The reason was simple: this minor realm was populated entirely by demons. There were absolutely no Qi Cultivation Cultivators here aside from those of the Innate Sect! ƒгeewёbnovel.com
’So you’re here to collect Kan-Bottom Water? I’m the one obstacle you won’t be able to overcome, Daoist!’
Killing intent swelled in the Thick Eyebrow Daoist’s chest, gradually condensing into a single point of azure light.

...
Regardless of the situation unfolding in the Bo Sea, the focus now shifts to Jiang Yi.
After transforming into a white Jiao and taking over the water mansion in the Cloud-Blocking River, he immediately found several powerful long serpents to pull his chariot and set off directly for the Dragon Son Assembly.
High in the sky, a canopied treasure chariot tore through the air like a bolt of lightning, plowing through rolling, ink-black clouds and leaving a trail of rumbling thunder in its wake.
Jiang Yi sat enthroned upon it, draped in a magnificent robe. freeweɓnøvel.com
All of these items were taken from the Mang Demon’s treasury, and they served to perfectly accentuate his noble bearing as a Jiao descendant.
’This minor realm is quite rich in Spiritual Materials and Resources related to the Water Element.’
A large chest filled with Water Element Spiritual Objects lay open. As Jiang Yi breathed, a dense, misty radiance of water clouds flowed from his mouth and nose, enveloping and refining the Spiritual Objects in the chest one by one.
Although his main cultivation was the Fire Element, his Dao Embryo had devoured the blood essence of a dragon’s offspring, allowing him to faintly grasp the methods for summoning wind and rain and commanding thunder and lightning.
Consuming these Water Element Spiritual Objects to nourish his physical body was, therefore, a perfect fit.
’The nature of the Fire Element is to flare up, while the nature of the Water Element is to flow down.
Fire techniques have the properties of incineration, illumination, and scorching;
water techniques have the properties of chilling, nourishing, and concealing.
When the two are combined, water and fire can balance each other, leading to even greater transformations.
Unfortunately, I haven’t reached the Flying Foundation Establishment Realm, so it’s difficult for me to accommodate all Five Elements. I can only save that comprehension for later.’
Jiang Yi drew the surging water vapor into his Dao Embryo. Raging Magical Power surged through his body like an intricate network of rivers, spreading throughout his entire frame.
After several Great Circulations, the water vapor transformed into a gurgling, ceaseless stream of condensed aquamarine essence.
Had it been an ordinary cultivator who had not trained in a Water Element Technique, absorbing so much Water Essence would have surely imbalanced their Spiritual Energy. Their Magical Power would become impure, leading to endless complications.
Jiang Yi, however, had no such worries. Thanks to that Foundation Establishment Pill, his Inner Mansion had become vast beyond precedent, making the absorption of essences from all Five Elements a trivial matter.
"Jiao Lord, the Ginseng Sea is just ahead. That’s where the Raging Jiao Mansion is," the Crab General reminded him cautiously.
"Normally, without a summons from the River Dragon King, one isn’t allowed to travel the waters into the sea... It’s a major taboo."
Jiang Yi opened his golden eyes, releasing the terrifying aura unique to his dragon lineage:
"Travel the waters? Aren’t we in the sky?"
The Crab General was speechless. Compared to the sinister and vicious Mang Demon, this new Jiao Lord seemed even more domineering.
Riding the clouds, the long serpents pulled the treasure chariot across the Cloud-Blocking River and breached the borders of the Ginseng Sea.
Standing beside the chariot, the Crab General saw a vast, gloomy haze blanketing the distant sky, an eerie turquoise light flickering within. He focused his vision and looked closely, realizing it was a Qiu Demon at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer with a formidably powerful aura!
This Qiu Demon had two horns on its head as hard as refined iron. It wielded a steel trident and had a powerful physique, its billowing demonic aura wreathed in a great mass of water clouds, creating a truly imposing sight!
"HALT! What demon dares trespass in the Ginseng Sea!?"
The Qiu Demon roared, its voice like a clap of thunder.
Seeing the canopied treasure chariot trailing thunder and stirring up the elements wherever it passed, the demon knew it was a member of the dragon lineage on the move.
"Jiao Lord..."
The Crab General’s legs were trembling.
"This Ginseng Sea Dragon King is a ’Tiger Jiao,’ ferocious and tyrannical by nature! He loves to devour the flesh and blood of his own kind! He’s on a completely different level from that Mang Demon who was just lording it over the Cloud-Blocking River!"
"Ram through them," Jiang Yi said calmly.
’I was just worrying about my lack of blood essence from a dragon’s offspring to form my second Dao Body.
It’s rare for a Qiu Demon to deliver itself to my doorstep like this. How could I possibly let it go?’
"Jiao Lord... but that’s one of the Ginseng Sea Dragon King’s generals!"
The Crab General’s voice trembled.
"I only call him the Ginseng Sea Dragon King out of courtesy. Without that courtesy, he’s nothing more than a demonic mongrel with impure blood!"
Jiang Yi gave a cold smile, his untamable demonic nature on full display.
"A Tiger Jiao? And it thinks it’s worthy of being called a ’Jiao descendant’ alongside me!?"
The Crab General almost fainted from fear. ’Where on earth did this Jiao Lord spring from?’ he wondered.
’His style and bearing are even grander than the lords of the Raging Jiao Mansion.’
Jiang Yi activated his Dao Embryo, releasing all the turbid blood-qi he had absorbed and forcing the long serpents to charge forward at full speed.
"The absolute gall! To dare ignore the decree of the Ginseng Sea Dragon King!"
Seeing the canopied treasure chariot rumbling towards it, the Qiu Demon flew into a rage. The water clouds beneath its feet churned as they lifted its body into the air.
