Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

At the center of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea lay a boundless expanse of ocean, with scarcely any islands to be seen.

Only at the very heart stood a gigantic dragon-shaped sea island, rising upright in the middle of the Jiao Sea.

At this moment, countless Flood Dragons were circling around the Flood Dragon Island, forming a spectacle like a thousand dragons surging.

If an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator were here, their scalp would likely crawl; after all, there were at least a dozen or more Tier Five Flood Dragon Demon Emperors, and nearly a hundred Tier Four Flood Dragon Demon Kings. By contrast, Tier Three Flood Dragon Great Demons were somewhat fewer.

These Tier Three Flood Dragons were all juvenile Flood Dragons, and at this moment they too followed those Flood Dragon Demon Kings, galloping and darting about around the Celestial Flood Dragon Island.

On the very outermost perimeter was a large group of Half-Flood Dragons.

These Half-Flood Dragons were all lacking in bloodline, or had advanced through Postnatal fortuity; their appearances were strange and grotesque.

But most of them were Tier Three Great Demons, with a few Tier Four Demon Kings among them. At this moment, they were scudding about on the far outer ring, becoming the very lowest stratum.

As for serpents and pythons, there was not a single one; they had absolutely no qualification to approach near the Celestial Dragon Island.

Moreover, even with so many Flood Dragons gathered, not one opened its maw to let out a roar.

They merely maintained their immense Flood Dragon Beastly Might, spreading it outward.

Above the sea island, there was at this moment an old man with a pair of horns growing from his head. He wore a yellow Dragon Robe, like an emperor of the Mortal World.

Yet his aura did not manifest.

One moment he gazed toward the center of the Dragon Island,

the next he looked toward the surrounding Flood Dragons; whenever his gaze fell, all those Flood Dragons lowered their heads.

Across the vast Flood Dragon Island in the Jiao Sea, at this moment there was only this one being who had taken on human form.

His identity, naturally, went without saying!

“Xuanze, go search the surroundings again. Lei Chen’s breakthrough this time must not be allowed to encounter any mishap!”

“Especially beware of the Chenjing Sea and the Golden Feathered Demon Peng clan!” he said with a slight opening of his mouth.

Beside him, a blue Flood Dragon a hundred and fifty zhang long immediately nodded, bringing along several Half-Flood Dragons as it flew off toward the surroundings.

This time was the portent of a new Demon Saint being born in the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea; he naturally would not permit anything to go wrong.

Though the East Sea had no lack of Demon Saints,

it was also divided into several Great Demon Races. Whether the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea could take another step forward this time and firmly sit at the top among the Demon Race would depend upon the fortune of this occasion.

This was the responsibility of every single Flood Dragon in the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea.

…

On the outer edge of the Jiao Sea lay a cluster of small islands. At this moment the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon felt somewhat apprehensive, lacking even the slightest sense of a dragon descending into shallow seas to rule over all.

In former days, in any lake of the Eastern Domain, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon could call itself king and tyrant; at that time, it had still been the Jade Qilin Snake.

Now it had already transformed into the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, yet instead felt somewhat lacking in confidence.

This made it unable to resist letting out a low roar.

Yet with just this one roar, countless Flood Dragon pressures surged over. The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon immediately lowered its head, sinking its Flood Dragon Head beneath the water, with a faint, inexplicable sense of stifled grievance on its face.

The Blood Leeches on its body could not help but tremble.

Seeing this, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon suddenly steeled its heart. It stripped off the Blood Leeches hidden within its Flood Dragon Fin and swallowed them all into its belly.

In that very instant, a Tier Four Flood Dragon King suddenly charged over.

“Under which Demon Emperor’s command do you belong?” This was a Wind Flood Dragon over eighty zhang long; its twin eyes were immensely intimidating.

They made the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s body tremble slightly; it was, after all, only at Mid-stage Third Tier.

Hearing this question, its heart turned incomparably cold.

After all, it had absolutely no idea which Demon Emperors existed within the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, and fundamentally did not know how to answer.

At the same time, it felt somewhat fortunate: if it had not swallowed those Blood Leeches, perhaps this Wind Flood Dragon would not even have questioned it.

In that moment, it recalled how Ye Jingyu in the Purple Wood Sect had constantly tested other Cultivators.

So now, was this Wind Flood Dragon Demon King testing it?

It immediately thought back to when it first entered the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, where there had been a Blue Jade Flood Dragon Demon King, and a bold thought rose in its heart.

It did not open its mouth to speak, but instead sent back a Transmission with its Divine Sense.

After all, most Tier Three Great Demons did not have Spiritual Wisdom so keen as to casually speak.

Moreover, at this moment, being too clever and running about recklessly would only draw attention.

“The Blue Jade Demon King?” After that Wind Flood Dragon Demon King posed the question, it withdrew its pressure as well.

Clearly, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon had gambled correctly; if it had named some Demon Emperor or other, trouble would surely have arisen.

After all, as a newly Transformed-into-a-Flood-Dragon, Mid-stage Third Tier Water Flood Dragon, how could it possibly be associated with a Demon Emperor?

Being attached to a Demon King was already the limit.

Besides, this Wind Flood Dragon naturally did not understand what Water Flood Dragons there were, and would certainly not remember the identity of a mere Tier Three Great Demon.

Thus it withdrew as well, and in a short while its figure vanished.

As it left, it tossed back only one line.

“Don’t go any farther in. Can’t even speak—truly, all Water Flood Dragons are trash!” The Wind Flood Dragon Demon King finished speaking and disappeared from sight.

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, though wishing to go forward, naturally would not defy the orders of that Demon King at this moment.

Moreover, it could also feel that from the direction of the Celestial Flood Dragon Island, an immense number of Flood Dragon auras were emanating. It even faintly sensed an unprecedented pressure.

This pressure was very faint—so faint that it was clearly deliberately restrained—yet it gave it a kind of oppression upon the Divine Soul.

That feeling was even greater than that of a Demon Emperor!

It felt even more like the suppression of an upper-ranked bloodline of the Demon Race upon a lower-ranked bloodline.

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon did not dare advance any farther and could only dart about in all directions.

But in the next instant, it felt as though the Spiritual Energy in the surroundings was all flowing toward the center of the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea.

Even if it were more ignorant, it could clearly understand this scene.

Within the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, either some Secret Treasure had appeared, or some beast was undergoing a breakthrough.

And which of these outcomes could cause the entire Celestial Flood Dragon Sea to be this solemn, naturally went without saying.

To confirm its conjecture, it maintained a certain distance at all times.

It also saw some small islands.

These islands, unlike that outer Layer of islands which were packed full of Demon Beasts, were somewhat empty.
