Free Web NovelChapter 380: Crystalline Rain Region
"Senior Brother Mu, why must we pursue this Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator? What does it matter if he plotted against an Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator? That Qian Zhong was nothing more than an outsider anyway." The only woman among the five individuals complained with a displeased pout.
A mission that entailed travelling across several Regions just to capture or obtain something was one of the most exasperating tasks for any cultivator.
The situation was made even more aggravating because the Twin Snake Clan had dispatched several Late-stage and Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators to pursue Tang Yin, in addition to the Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator who was leading their team.
She believed that the Twin Snake Clan was merely flexing its manpower. Even if the person they were chasing had some connection to Qian Zhong’s death, she simply didn’t care. After all, Qian Zhong was an outsider, and the death of such a cultivator wouldn’t garner much attention in the clan, considering that the Twin Snake Clan had an abundance of Law Domain Realm cultivators at its disposal.
Naturally, this wasn’t to say that Qian Zhong’s death was inconsequential. The demise of an Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator was undeniably a significant event. Nevertheless, for the Twin Snake Clan, which boasted numerous Law Domain Realm cultivators, Qian Zhong’s passing didn’t have a substantial impact on the clan as a whole. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Nonetheless, this didn’t imply that they were powerless regarding Qian Zhong’s death. Even though Qian Zhong was an outsider, he was still considered a member of the Twin Snake Clan.
In order to protect their reputation and demonstrate to the world that no one could escape justice after harming their fellow clan members, the Twin Snake Clan felt compelled to apprehend, interrogate, and eliminate all individuals connected to Qian Zhong’s demise.
"Yun Zi, this mission has been assigned to us by the Elders. While it may not be particularly challenging, it’s one of the final missions I’ll undertake before ascending to the status of an Elder myself. I’ve been directed to offer minimal assistance in this mission, everything will be entrusted to you four." Declared Senior Brother Mu, the Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator, with a solemn countenance.
Having reached the Law Domain Realm, it was only a matter of time before he ascended to the esteemed position of an Elder within the Twin Snake Clan, courtesy of his Twin Snake bloodline.
Not just anyone could attain the position of an Elder within the Twin Snake Clan. There were three minimum conditions that had to be satisfied for anyone to even have a chance of becoming an Elder of the Twin Snake Clan.
The first condition was rather straightforward. An individual had to possess a minimum of Law Domain Realm cultivation. Even if someone was a direct descendant of the Twin Snake Clan, lacking Law Domain Realm cultivation made it impossible to attain the status of an Elder within the Twin Snake Clan.
The second condition served as a means of filtration. It mandated that an individual must possess both the Twin Snake bloodline and the Twin Snake Martial Spirit. So long as one was born with the Twin Snake bloodline, they would naturally manifest a Twin Snake Martial Spirit.
Hence, even if someone had achieved Law Domain Realm cultivation, they wouldn’t be eligible to become an Elder of the Twin Snake Clan if they lacked the Twin Snake Clan’s bloodline in their lineage.
Qian Zhong could be taken as an example. Despite reaching Law Domain Realm cultivation, he didn’t possess the Twin Snake bloodline. Consequently, he couldn’t awaken a Twin Snake Martial Spirit, and even if he made significant progress in his cultivation, he would never qualify to become an Elder of the Twin Snake Clan.
The final condition, while straightforward, was demanding. An individual had to have made substantial contributions to the Twin Snake Clan. Even if someone possessed the Twin Snake bloodline, the Twin Snake Martial Spirit, and Law Domain Realm cultivation, if they were lazy and made little or no contributions to the Twin Snake Clan, they would be deemed incompetent and unsuitable for the role of an Elder within the Twin Snake Clan.
Senior Brother Mu had harboured the dream of becoming an Elder of the Twin Snake Clan from a young age. After enduring countless millennia of challenges and trials, he had finally met the three essential criteria to attain the position of an Elder within the Twin Snake Clan.
The ongoing mission to apprehend Tang Yin represented one of the final missions he would undertake before assuming the role of an Elder. Consequently, he attached immense significance to this mission, recognizing that failure could diminish his standing within the Twin Snake Clan and potentially jeopardize his elevation to the position of an Elder.
Nonetheless, Senior Brother Mu faced a challenging situation since he had been instructed to offer minimal assistance. The current mission had to be successfully executed, but it also served as a training exercise for the other four purebloods in the squad of five.
"Still, isn’t deploying a Law Domain Realm cultivator like yourself, along with the four of us, to pursue a Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator a bit excessive and a misuse of resources?" Yun Zi remained reluctant to yield. She could be engaging in countless other tasks, yet she was on a mission to apprehend a relatively weak cultivator. Moreover, the rewards for the mission were almost underwhelming. From her perspective, none of this seemed worthwhile. Nonetheless, she couldn’t openly defy the Twin Snake Clan and could only voice her grievances to her senior.
"Based on the reports and the information from the Thousand Blossom Pavilion, this individual could potentially be a Late-stage or Peak-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator." Senior Brother Mu responded with a somewhat unamused expression.
"Nevertheless, Senior Brother Mu, as purebloods of the Twin Snake Clan, our power exceeds that of ordinary cultivators at the same stage. I’m confident we can handle this individual with ease." Yun Zi argued with a sense of pride.
"Does it truly matter? We’ve already commenced the mission, and failure is not a viable option." Senior Brother Mu responded, his tone growing stern and effectively silencing Yun Zi.
In reality, Senior Brother Mu harboured similar thoughts to Yun Zi, and in fact, all five of them shared those sentiments. Nevertheless, they couldn’t openly question the Elders who had assigned them the task of apprehending Tang Yin. Thus, they could only vent their frustrations amongst themselves and proceed with the mission as instructed.
Furthermore, they had already traversed through numerous Regions and were not far from Tang Yin’s location. They had also established a clear trail on Tang Yin thanks to the specialized technique that Senior Brother Mu, an Early-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator with the Twin Snake bloodline, was employing to track him.
They had no time to linger and voice their grievances about the mission. If they hoped to swiftly apprehend Tang Yin and return him to the Twin Snake Clan for interrogation, they needed to press forward without delay.
"Let’s go." Senior Brother Mu declared. Observing the group’s silence, he chose not to squander any more time and proceeded with their pursuit of Tang Yin.
....
Very quickly, a whole day passed by.
While the group of five continued their pursuit of Tang Yin, the latter had already reached the Crystalline Rain Region at full speed.
However, this didn’t imply that the group of five from the Twin Snake Clan who were chasing Tang Yin were significantly behind. In fact, they were only two Regions away from him.
Nonetheless, Tang Yin had already arrived at his intended destination. After engaging with the cultivators from the Divine Emperor Kingdom stationed in the Crystalline Rain Region and securing entry into the region, Tang Yin would finally be able to execute his plan.
Now, it was simply a race against time. Could Tang Yin gain access to the Crystalline Rain Region before his pursuers caught up to him?
Tang Yin was confident in his capability to swiftly enter the Crystalline Rain Region and promptly locate a spot from which to access the Abyss Firmament.
Nevertheless, his pursuers were not ordinary cultivators either. They hailed from the Twin Snake Clan and bore the Twin Snake bloodline. Furthermore, they were under the command of a Law Domain Realm cultivator.
As Tang Yin neared the border of the Crystalline Rain Region, he could already behold the renowned crystalline-like rain gently falling throughout the entire region.
This crystalline rain was widely recognized as the signature feature of the Crystalline Rain Region, and it continued to fall incessantly without end.
The enigmatic aspect of the crystalline rain was that no one knew its origin. Even ancient monsters at the Law Domain Realm were unable to trace the source of this unique precipitation.
It seemed as if, one day, the crystalline rain had simply begun to fall upon the Crystalline Rain Region without rhyme or reason, creating an abundance of flora and fauna, eventually forming the Crystalline Rain Region.
