Chapter 553: Chapter 451 Flower Wood Clan

Roar! Roar!

The blue flood dragon bared its fangs and waved its claws, charging forward with mighty waves.

Whoosh!

The Mountain Master of Fire Mountain remained fearless, opening the red scroll in his hand.

Another massive fiery mountain appeared, blocking his path.

The blue flood dragon smashed into the volcano, exploding with a thunderous noise and turning into countless water mists, spreading over a hundred thousand miles.

"Another imperial regiment?"

The Mountain Master of Fire Mountain frowned, preparing to use other divine skills.

Suddenly, a strong sense of danger arose in his heart.

A pitch-black shadow appeared behind him without notice, extending a finger.

Poof!

The Black Hole Power, condensed to its limit, transformed into a dark light, directly piercing several layers of the Mountain Master of Fire Mountain’s defenses and landing on his back.

Blood flowed from the Mountain Master of Fire Mountain’s back as he turned into a streak of firelight, fleeing forward.

At the same time, he threw the red scroll behind him.

"Emperor Weapon?"

Watching the terrifying might erupting from the red scroll, Fang Xing chuckled softly, extending his hands.

A strong gravitational force appeared, acting upon the red scroll.

He grasped the Emperor Weapon with both hands and tore it apart!

Rip!

The scroll was torn in two, countless flames appearing and dispersing with a boom, unable to harm him in the slightest.

"My Emperor Weapon?"

The Mountain Master of Fire Mountain watched this scene, his heart almost bleeding, filled with deep fear: "Are you... the Black Dragon prince?"

"Indeed... Mountain Master of Fire Mountain, how dare you trespass my Boundaryless Mountain, it seems Wahuang Palace’s stronghold in Qingmu Realm will be no more."

Fang Xing stood with hands folded behind his back, his expression indifferent.

Faced with just a Mountain Master of Fire Mountain, he didn’t even need to use the No Void Ring, merely relying on his own Black Hole Level physique to suppress the opponent.

This confirmed for him that this Primordial Spirit Dominator of Wahuang Palace was probably only comparable to a Heavenly Immortal in the first or second tier.

"I will remember this grudge..."

The Mountain Master of Fire Mountain gave Fang Xing a deep look and turned into a streak of firelight, leaving without looking back.

Fang Xing watched him leave without pursuit.

Earlier in the Pangu Secret Realm, it was tacitly allowed for the emperors’ sons to kill each other, vying for the Pangu Token.

But in the outside world, the rules were different.

Boundaryless Mountain was merely a major faction in Qing Yuan Great Realm but not a dominator force, unable to protect someone courting death.

Moreover... the importance of an emperor’s son and a Primordial Spirit Dominator is entirely different.

Fang Xing understood that if he killed the Mountain Master of Fire Mountain, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave Qingmu Realm in the future.

Otherwise, he might end up ambushed by a peak Heavenly Immortal or even a Chaos Realm expert...

"Jiao Chi!"

Watching the Mountain Master of Fire Mountain leave, Fang Xing spoke, giving an order.

"Prince."

Jiao Chi’s eyes were full of fervor, thoroughly convinced by Fang Xing now.

"Go down and take over Qingming Castle..."

Fang Xing instructed, then landed on the city wall of Qingming Castle: "Thank you all for your hard work. I am the Black Dragon; from now on, I will be in charge of all affairs in Qingmu Realm..."

"Greetings to the Black Dragon prince!"

A group of Primordial Spirit cultivators bowed deeply without saying a word.

No matter how much news flew around in the Void Illusion Realm, nothing was as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes.

They could now confirm that this Black Dragon disciple had indeed become a Primordial Spirit Dominator!

In various factions, a Primordial Spirit Dominator’s status was higher than that of a typical Heavenly Immortal or Heavenly Demon.

’Damn... It’s actually the Black Dragon prince guarding this place...’

Huo Lingzi bowed deeply, his head almost touching the ground, his heart filled with immense unease.

’What should I do?’

’With just a single command from the Black Dragon prince, I would have to die... No! Even if he unintentionally showed some attitude, there would be people eager to kill me!’

He deeply regretted opposing the Black Dragon prince in the past.

While Huo Lingzi was anxious, Fang Xing clearly saw him but paid no attention, entering Qingming Castle.

Huo Lingzi stood up, watching Fang Xing’s fading figure, feeling relieved yet somewhat dejected: ’Ignoring me... Well, he and I are already people of two worlds...’

...

Within Qingming Castle.

Fang Xing checked the accounts briefly, finding that although there were some discrepancies, they were not significant enough to warrant an investigation, considering the Void Spirit was overseeing it.

After resting for a few days, he had a local Primordial Spirit cultivator guide him to visit several nearby primordial crystal mines.

Primordial crystals are highly concentrated forms of yuan stones, with one primordial crystal being worth at least ten thousand yuan stones, and extracting ’primordial spirit liquid’ from them is also easier.

Even Boundaryless Mountain highly valued the primordial crystal mines near Qingming Castle.

Cangming Mountain.

Fang Xing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at a massive mining pit below.

Most of the laborers in the mining pit were Primordial Spirit cultivators, but there were also some indigenous people.

These indigenous people resembled members of the Human Clan but had dark green stripes on their bodies, exuding a vibrant vitality.

With just a glance, Fang Xing confirmed these foreigners lived long lives, with an average lifespan of five thousand years even in the Mortal Realm!

Even without cultivation, they could live up to five hundred years.

And those in the Primordial Spirit Realm?

It seemed that those who practiced the primordial qi path couldn’t live beyond ten thousand years.

"Prince, we have one thousand ninety-eight overseers and over thirty-six thousand miners in this place... The daily output of primordial crystals is around three hundred thousand."

The one briefing Fang Xing was Huo Lingzi.

His demeanor was now exceedingly humble, with a hint of anxiety.

Fortunately, Fang Xing was almost indifferent to Huo Lingzi now, treating him like a stranger.

"These indigenous people are called the Flower Wood Clan, right?"

Fang Xing became interested, observing a Flower Wood Clan woman with green stripes and flowers blooming on her head.

"Precisely... The Flower Wood Clan are the indigenous people of Qingmu Realm with many branches, all known for their longevity and affinity with wood element Dao rules... Nowadays, many among these natives have reached the Primordial Spirit Realm..."

Huo Lingzi’s face showed a hint of worry: "Given the world’s growth, one day, these natives might produce those in the Heavenly Demon Realm! But we can’t annihilate them in advance... Not only are they numerous, but even if we could act, it would make the world’s origin despise us..."

Qing Yuan Great Realm had extensive experience in conquering other worlds.

Fang Xing knew that newly born worlds always offered some favoritism and ’heaven’s care’ to their natives.

Because of the destructive power of external Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons, they were banned from entering.

However, local Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons faced no such restrictions.

’Within the many Flower Wood Clan tribes, there will certainly be those with exceptional talent. If we enslave their souls now, we can profit greatly when they grow into Heavenly Demons...’

A thought suddenly struck Fang Xing.

Existing factions from Qing Yuan Great Realm never recruited disciples from conquered small realms, as history taught them a bloody lesson.

However, soul slaves could exploit a loophole.

’Perhaps, some factions have already done so...’

This realization instilled a sense of urgency in Fang Xing.

He looked at Huo Lingzi and suddenly spoke: "Huo Lingzi... I have a task for you."

"At your command, prince."

Huo Lingzi hurriedly bowed.

"Bring before me the most talented Flower Wood Clan members within our Boundaryless Mountain’s control... Hmm, those of Primordial Spirit Realm Seventh Layer and above, preferably Primordial Spirit Realm Ninth Layer!"

Fang Xing instructed.

Immediately, he communicated his requests to the Void Illusion Realm, seeking the purchase of wood element Dao rules’ legacies, with a particular focus on those that could be taught to others.

...

A dozen days later.

Qingming Castle.

On the plaza.

Numerous Flower Wood Clan members stood anxiously.

"Duomi, why do you think those people from beyond the sky suddenly summoned us?"

A Flower Wood Clan member with a tattooed face looked at a girl in the middle, his eyes filled with indescribable emotion.

The girl named ’Duomi’ wore a green robe, her face adorned with blue stripes, green flower buds at the tips of her hair, and her cultivation at the ninth layer of Primordial Spirit Realm.

She spoke lightly, her voice like a mountain spring: "I don’t know... But our tribe received orders from above that if the person we send satisfies that esteemed lord, our tribute for the next ten years will be waived... This gives our tribe a much-needed respite to nurture more clansmen, so... I came."

Her talent, appearance, and cultivation were all of the highest in the Dora Tribe, groomed as the Holy Daughter.

But for their people, even the Holy Daughter must make sacrifices.

The Flower Wood Clan members present, whether forced or voluntary, knew it didn’t matter in the end.

Hours later, a shadow descended upon the plaza, revealing Fang Xing in black clothes!

"One hundred thirty-two!"

Fang Xing’s gaze swept over them, his voice cold: "You already know the promise made... I’m here to recruit servants, no, slaves... Next, you will be tested, and you need to hold on, try to stand till the end."

With his words, a surge of willpower descended.

In an instant, dozens of Flower Wood Clan members above the seventh layer of Primordial Spirit Realm collapsed, fainting.

"This..."

"A mere thought made dozens of our strongest faint; is this the true power of a great figure?"

The remaining Flower Wood Clan members were shocked, gritting their teeth as they faced the intensifying willpower.

"Hang on, Duomi... You must become the lord’s slave!"

Duomi gritted her teeth, her eyes slightly bloodshot.

As time passed, the Flower Wood Clan members on the plaza fell one after another until only a few remained.

"Very good, your names?"

Fang Xing landed on the plaza, looking down at the three Flower Wood Clan members.

"I am Sang Song!"

"Mo Yan!"

"Duomi, greetings, my lord!"

The three Flower Wood Clan members pressed their hands to their chests in salute.

"Good, congratulations, you’ve passed the first test. Now, onto the second test!"

Fang Xing tossed out three green stone tablets: "You have a day to comprehend the patterns on the tablet... Then replicate them; the one who does the best can stay till the end!"

While the first test evaluated willpower and strength, the second test naturally assessed comprehension.
