Flood dragon!

Inside the Zhou family's mountain gate, all the Zhou family cultivators who were unaware of the situation witnessed a scene that shocked them greatly.

A blue dragon, several dozen feet long, rose up on the wind and soared above Pagoda Peak, emitting bursts of dragon roars.

The strange phenomena that had previously gathered were all caused by it.

At this moment, under the influence of the dragon's might released by the azure dragon, all the demonic beasts in the Zhou family's beast garden trembled and lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Many Zhou family cultivators were trembling with fear, their very spirits trembling.

At this moment, besides the elders who are all at the Foundation Establishment stage, only a very few Zhou family cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage are still able to think.

"The winds and clouds gather, a dragon is born. Has the clan leader's Azure Cloud Python successfully transformed into a dragon?"

Zhou Jiacheng, who had failed to establish his foundation, was one of the few who remained clear-headed. He stared in shock at the azure dragon in the sky and quickly realized its origin.

"A third-tier flood dragon! This might be the most powerful spirit pet ever raised by our Zhou family's cultivators since the clan's founding!"

Zhou Daoquan also stared at the azure dragon in the sky with a look of shock and envy.

The Zhou family has produced several Golden Core cultivators in the past, but none of their spirit pets have been able to be raised to the fourth rank.

The third-tier dragon is undoubtedly the king among monsters of the same tier, with few other monsters able to rival it.

It's not entirely wrong to say that Zhou Daoyi's azure dragon is the most powerful spirit pet the Zhou family has ever cultivated since its founding.

Because given time to grow, it will absolutely live up to that title.

"As expected of the powerful dragon clan, they possess such might even after only recently completing their metamorphosis and evolution!"

At the summit of Pagoda Peak, Zhou Mingde looked up at the azure dragon soaring in the sky, his eyes filled with amazement.

Judging from his aura alone, he felt that even if he and the Fire God Jackal went up together, they might not be a match for this azure dragon.

I expect that's the case!

From this moment forward, the most powerful person in the Zhou family will become Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch!

"Alright, Qingqing, put away your oppressive aura. This isn't a place where you can act recklessly!"

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out from the top of Pagoda Peak, and Zhou Daoyi's figure also soared into the air, appearing beside the azure dragon.

Upon hearing his words, the azure dragon let out a long roar and immediately flew into the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

Seeing this, the many Zhou family cultivators immediately had no more doubts about the origin of the azure dragon.

Then, a surge of ecstasy instantly welled up in the hearts of these Zhou family cultivators, and their faces revealed genuine joy.

As members of the Zhou family, a family of spirit beasts, they were naturally familiar with the power of the dragon.

A third-tier dragon can not only provide the Zhou family with powerful combat support, but also continuously produce various dragon blood spiritual items and even dragon-type demon beasts for the family.

The beneficiaries will be the entire Zhou family and all its cultivators!

"What happens today must be kept absolutely secret!"

"If I find out anyone is lying and leaks the information, they will be severely punished!"

On Pagoda Peak, the stern warning of the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde echoed throughout the Zhou family's mountain gate.

"Yes, we will obey the Supreme Elder's decree!"

Immediately, all the Zhou family cultivators bowed respectfully towards the direction of Pagoda Peak and solemnly responded.

Although some of them didn't understand why this matter needed to be kept secret, they all knew that since even the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde had personally issued a decree to keep it confidential, it was best to keep quiet and not violate the prohibition.

Not long after, the Zhou family's protective mountain formation, which had been briefly activated, returned to calm.

The Zhou family's mountain gate reopened to the still-present rogue cultivators outside.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, what exactly happened in your family? Why were you so hasty in driving us out?"

"Yes, yes, we all saw your family's protective mountain formation activate just now. Could it be that a powerful figure has invaded the Zhou family?"

Outside the reopened Zhou Family Mountain Gate, a group of rogue cultivators who had not yet dispersed asked the Zhou Family cultivators who had appeared, their faces full of questions.

However, they found that the Zhou family cultivators they saw all looked quite well and seemed to be in a good mood.

However, when they inquired or asked questions, he always responded with the words "no comment".

This deliberate attempt to conceal their identities only fueled their curiosity, and they all relentlessly tried to get closer to the person and probe further.

But this was destined to have no outcome.

Having just received a warning from the family's supreme elder, even the most outspoken person wouldn't dare to forget it immediately.

How could I dare reveal even the slightest inside information?

A few days later, news of the strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared at the Zhou family's home in Jiufengling began to circulate in a small circle.

However, because the Zhou family acted decisively and swiftly at the time, no one could guess the truth based on the few words spoken by the rogue cultivators present.

Ultimately, the fact that the Azure Cloud Python transformed into the Azure Dragon is too astonishing; most people wouldn't even dare to imagine it.

Meanwhile, the three core members of the Zhou family gathered in Zhou Mingde's cave to discuss important matters to come.

"Now that the Azure Cloud Python has successfully transformed into a Flood Dragon, Dao Yi, what are your plans regarding the location for the Flood Dragon's lair?"

Inside the cave, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi, who was beaming with joy, and first asked an important question.

"I haven't considered that yet!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not yet considered the matter.

Then he continued, "However, judging from the situation within the family's mountain gate, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to build this dragon's nest within the family's premises!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Chun suddenly said, "Regarding this matter, I have a good suggestion."

"Oh, Masashi, what are your thoughts now?"

Zhou Mingde turned his gaze to Zhou Chun, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He previously had many doubts about whether Zhou Chun was capable of taking on the important role of the Zhou family head.

Coupled with the incident involving Zhou Zhengkang, he still harbored some resentment towards him.

Therefore, my previous impression of Zhou Chun was not as good as that of Zhou Daoyi.

However, as Zhou Chun was promoted to the position of deputy clan leader, he took full charge of clan affairs.

In just a few years, the Zhou family's population and wealth have grown significantly faster than before.

Furthermore, the enthusiasm of the clansmen for dedication has also clearly increased.

These undeniable facts left him no choice but to stop viewing people with prejudice and to honestly believe that Zhou Chun hadn't done a good enough job.

Zhou Chun's previous remarks on several important matters concerning the safety of the family had impressed him greatly.

Therefore, his perception of Zhou Chun has changed significantly. He now looks forward to every speech by this younger member of the family, hoping that he will bring him more surprises.

At this moment, under the expectant gazes of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun slowly said, "This junior believes that the pool where the family collects the slime of the venomous spiny fish is very suitable for building a dragon's nest. The complex underground rivers below not only contain abundant food resources, but can also provide a well-hidden area for the Azure Dragon to move around!"

"Oh, so this is the underground river where you obtained the relics of the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivator?"

Zhou Mingde's expression shifted, and he immediately understood where Zhou Chun was referring to.

"That's it."

Zhou Chun nodded, confirming his words.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingde immediately nodded slightly and said, "In that case, Dao Yi, when you have time later, take the Azure Dragon and go with Zheng Chun to explore that place. If it's truly suitable, our Zhou family can build a separate courtyard there to conceal the existence of the dragon's lair!"

He clearly knew that there was no suitable place inside the Zhou family's Jiufengling mountain gate to build a dragon's nest.

"I understand."

Zhou Daoyi responded and then looked at Zhou Chun.

He slowly said, "Zhengchun, I'm afraid your matter of switching cultivation methods will have to be postponed for a while. At least we can only begin after the Supreme Elder returns from that matter."

"It's okay. We've already waited for several years, so a few more months won't make a difference."

Zhou Chun shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Also, talk to Daoquan and tell him not to rush off on his long journey. We'll discuss everything after that major matter is settled!"

"Judging by the time, Lin Hongyu should be sending more detailed information soon."

After Zhou Mingde finished speaking, he told Zhou Chun and the other person to go back first.

A few days later, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi left the Zhou family together and headed to the location of the underground river.

The two flew for a while and soon arrived at the pool.

"Is this the place? It doesn't look very impressive from the outside!"

Standing by the pool, Zhou Daoyi looked at the small mountain pool in front of him and couldn't help but show surprise when he recalled the magnificent underground river scene that Zhou Chun had once described.

"Clan leader, you'll understand once you come down with me."

Zhou Chun didn't offer any further explanation, but simply smiled and invited him to come down with him for a look.

"Okay, let's go down and take a look."

After Zhou Daoyi finished speaking, he and Zhou Chun jumped into the pool and dived into the underground river.

Upon entering the underground river and seeing the swiftly flowing underground water, Zhou Daoyi also showed a look of surprise.

"Speaking of which, this is my first time here since I successfully established my foundation. How about we take advantage of your prestige, Clan Chief, and have your Azure Dragon lead us to explore the end of this underground river?"

Zhou Chun looked intently at Zhou Daoyi and revealed his inner thoughts.

He had experienced the feeling of flying on a blue cloud python more than ten years ago, but he had never experienced riding a dragon before!

A third-tier Azure Dragon is clearly not something anyone can ride.

"You little brat, I knew you weren't up to any ulterior motive for insisting on bringing me here personally!"

Zhou Daoyi glared at Zhou Chun, having already seen through his intentions.

But he still didn't refuse his suggestion, and immediately reached out and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, releasing the Azure Dragon.

The emerging azure dragon, upon seeing that it was in the river, revealed a look of joy in its eyes.

It was even happier when it learned that the purpose of this trip was to help it find a place to build a dragon's nest.

To be honest, after advancing to the third rank, it had no interest in staying in a small place like Zhou Family Nine Peaks Ridge any longer.

Living in such a place would feel very restrictive; it would be much more comfortable to sleep in the spirit beast pouch.

Only the vast world outside can allow it to fully express itself.

Immediately, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun landed on the Azure Dragon's body, and were carried downstream to the end of the underground river.

The dragon is the overlord of the water. The speed at which the green dragon swims in the river is no slower than when it flies in the air, and it is much more energy-efficient.

The monsters living in this underground river posed no threat to its existence.

Therefore, it carried Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun downstream, and in less than a day they traveled thousands of miles!

This outcome was also unexpected by Zhou Daoyi and his companion.

Neither of them expected that this underground river would be so long and that its end point would be so far away.

Finally, when the Azure Dragon led the two out of the underground river and into a vast swamp, looking at the stars in the sky, both of them felt a sense of relief.

"Phew, finally out! Traveling through thousands of miles underground was really uncomfortable!"

Above the breezy lake, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun breathed in the fresh air, exchanged a glance, and both felt a sense of relief.

"I wonder which great swamp this is. It shouldn't be in Lanzhou anymore!"

Looking down at the vast expanse of water, Zhou Chun began to recall the famous waterways and marshes of various states in Jing Kingdom.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi immediately replied, "Both Yunzhou and Lianzhou have several large swamps; they're probably located in those two prefectures!"

After saying that, he cast a spell to survey the area, then pointed in a certain direction and said, "That's land over there. Let's go over there and see if we can find anyone to gather information."

Zhou Chun naturally had no objection to this.

So Zhou Daoyi put away the Azure Dragon, and the two of them flew towards the land together.

As they flew closer, the two were astonished to discover that there were some wooden houses and stone fortresses of different styles on the edge of the land, but there was not a single spark of fire in them.

Therefore, neither of them had noticed these buildings before.

As the two approached the buildings, their expressions changed drastically after scanning them with their divine senses.

"Human body with frog claws, blue face and long tongue, with fish scales on its belly and back, all humans are born from eggs, their voices are like the croaking of frogs, and their tribe is spread throughout the marshes and swamps, they are called the Scaled Frog Tribe..."

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, and suddenly began to recite a passage from a certain classic text.

The "scaled frog tribe" he mentioned were the alien creatures living in the buildings on the shore.

That's right, the creatures living inside those wooden and stone buildings were not the human fishermen they originally thought, but a different race called the "Scaled Frog Clan"!

"So this is Longyuanze?"

Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

First update of the day!
