Chapter 1490 - Dragonbound Valley
Chapter 1490 – Dragonbound Valley
The Xuanyu Continent was located in the center of the Myriad Solar Sects. The continent was fragmented by several hundred different forces. Among them were more than eight second-rate sects. It could be considered one of the most chaotic continents of the Myriad Solar Sects. Excluding the Azurecloud Divine Tree, the conditions here were definitely superior to the Azurecloud Continent. Of course, it was far inferior to the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect and the Myriaddragon Mountains.
Ironically, it was safe because of all the chaos. The Saintdragon Emperor built a secret base there hundreds of years ago in order to deal with situations like the current one. The base was located in a remote place among the mountains and ravines.
As a top-level formation guru, the Saintdragon Emperor and his confidantes spent hundreds of years building a grade-seven divine formation with layer upon layer of dense fog on the outside and defenses within. He named it Dragonbound Valley. The word “bound” carried a negative connotation because of its meaning. Thus, Dragonbound Valley was their prison. He had chosen the name in hopes that the juniors of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect would never forget that living there was no different to imprisonment, if they were to fall to such destitution. They couldn’t dawdle or loaf about; instead, they were to remember the deep hatred they carried on their backs and look forward to the day they could leave Dragonbound Valley and return to a world that belonged to them.
That required strength. There was nova source, divine artifacts, divine herbs, and the caeli of their elders in the valley. Although the cultivation resources there couldn’t compare to those of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect, everything they required was available.
Over the past few days, Long Wanying and Yang Ce were in charge and had already transferred the future of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect over. The entire process was kept as hidden as possible. Seeing that the juniors and their lifebound beasts had accepted the new place, Long Wanying couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared to the Myriaddragon Mountains, it was like a paradise. The juniors’ youthful energy symbolized the future vitality of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect. Long Wanying left a thousand solarians with them, all under five hundred years of age. They too were the future of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect and could protect the children. On the other hand, she was to rush back to the Myriaddragon Mountains before the day of the wedding to lend a hand. After arranging everything, Long Wanying said goodbye to them.
“I’ve said everything there is to say. You must be tired of my nagging by now.” She stood on the top of the mountain, with young, hot-blooded faces before her. In fact, they weren’t willing to stay here. They wanted to live and die with the sect.
“But I’ll say it again! Don’t go out! Cultivating is the only thing you can do. If we emerge victorious, we’ll return to pick you up. If we fail, you must keep the flames of hatred burning and remain firmly focused on revenge!”
“Yes!” Their eyes were red.
“I’m leaving.” Long Wanying gritted her teeth.
“Farewell, Whitedragon Empress!” they shouted.
“Be good.” Eyes red, Long Wanying left with Yang Ce.
The others watched the two until they disappeared.
Long Wanying had managed to relocate hundreds of thousands of people in complete secrecy. However, she was still worried. These people had the blood of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect coursing through their veins, but how could she be sure there would be no traitors? Although she had some concerns, she had no choice but to choose to believe in the Saintdragon Emperor’s formation and the descendants of Xuanyuan.
“I hope everyone stays safe.”
…
The Xuanyuan Dragon Sect and Dreamless Celestial Nation were both close to the south pole of the sun. The strongest forces of the Myriad Solar Sects were actually rather close to each other. With the rise of the Dreamless Celestial Nation, they had taken a large part of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect’s territory. At the border, the two sides were like water and fire; there were countless disputes between them. However, now that the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect was in a predicament, the border was peaceful.
The Dreamdragon Mountains sat amidst the fiery red nova source. There were volcanoes everywhere, scorching rivers of magma that flowed down from the top of the mountains, and hot mist that rose into the air. Fierce roars could be heard throughout the mountain range.
Someone had to watch over the Myriaddragon Mountains. Thus, the Saintdragon Emperor took only the Greendragon Emperor. They protected Tianming as they entered the Dreamdragon Mountains.
Excluding the members of the Sky Palace, the dreamless celestial emperor was the number one expert in the Myriad Solar Sects. Even with leverage in his hands, the Saintdragon Emperor, who was ranked second and more advanced in years, was far from arrogant. This was obviously a dangerous path.
Tianming listened to the thunderous eruption of flames that sounded like there were thousands of troops hidden in the mountains. When they reached the center of the mountain range, they stopped at the top of an active volcano, staring at the black smoke as they waited.
“Dreamless Celestial Emperor.”
The Saintdragon Emperor had once met him in the Voidsky Realm. As soon as the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect had met with misfortune, the Saintdragon Emperor wanted to see him, but the man remained in Somnium City.
In the fiery red mist, a young man dressed in white appeared, his robes fluttering in the clouds like a scene straight out of a dream. His perfect countenance was almost too gorgeous. Upon taking a closer look, Tianming found that the dreamless celestial emperor was the male version of Weisheng Moran.
The face on the back of Weisheng Moran’s head must look like him, Tianming said to himself.
“Is this person also a hermaphrodite? So his breasts are on his back? Wouldn’t that make him just like a camel?” If it weren’t for Tianming restraining it, Ying Huo would have flown over to his back to take a look.
The temperature rose. The dreamless celestial emperor glanced at the little blue fish in Tianming’s left eye. Sensing his presence, the fish shrank and shivered, hiding in the corner of his eye.
“I’ve made our purpose clear through the transmission stone. I don’t want to say more about the Azurespirit. There’s only one thing I wonder if you understand. Assuming the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect falls and we become the celestial orderians’ lackeys, working for them to annex the Myriad Solar Sects despite being first on the myriad sect ranking, the celestial orderians can dispatch hundreds of millions of troops to lay low near the Dreamless Celestial Nation. If they want to swallow up the Myriad Solar Sects, you’ll be the first ones they take down. Once they take over the south, they can invade the middle from both ends—will the Myriad Solar Sects have a way to survive?”
It was very clear, but the Saintdragon Emperor had no chance to point it out because the dreamless celestial emperor wouldn’t see him. They were the two most powerful forces in the southern hemisphere and the core of the Myriad Solar Sects.
The celestial orderians occupied the entire northern hemisphere. Once they attacked, it would only be a matter of time before the Myriad Solar Sects were destroyed. Even if they weren’t destroyed, the beastmasters would be enslaved by the totemancers from then on, and all resources seized by the celestial orderians. It was impossible for the celestial orderians to slaughter all beastmasters; however, they could subjugate and enslave them, suppressing them for thousands of generations. The population of beastmasters would eventually decline until there came a generation when the sun was made up of totemancers alone. In that way, a threat like the Ninedragon Emperor would never exist again.
“Please tell me your answer,” the Saintdragon Emperor solemnly said.
The dreamless celestial emperor burst out in laughter, as if he were ecstatic.
