Chapter 2146: Long Clan’s Origin
Zhao Hai stood on a mountain, looking at Coiling Dragon City not far away. This was the first time he saw the city from this angle. When he saw the city, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be speechless.
Coiling Dragon City almost had no roads going in and out of it. Majority of people who went to the city did so through transmission formations. This is because Coiling Dragon City was constructed in a huge mountain valley. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, there was no exit at all.
The location could be described as a deathtrap. However, this also meant that the valley was very safe. Outsiders would never be able to find it. Coiling Dragon City also uses formations to hide its existence. Even if someone flies over the valley, they wouldn’t be able to detect the city.
What Zhao Hai didn’t understand was why the Long Clan chose to construct their city in this place. With the Long Clan’s strength, they could position themselves anywhere in the True Spirit Realm. Why would they hide in this place?”
Originally, with Zhao Hai’s status, it was impossible for him to leave the city’s borders. The Long Clan wouldn’t easily reveal the city’s location. But since Zhao Hai performed really well recently, the clan’s trust in him has skyrocketed. Zhao Hai’s status in the hearts of the Long Clan members was slowly changing.
The Long Clan attached great importance to heritage. The education program that Zhao Hai made was a major contribution to the Long Clan. The clan believes that if they continued to follow Zhao Hai’s method to educate the children, then the future experts of the Long Clan would be at least 3 layers stronger than the current experts.
It can be said that Zhao Hai gave the children of the Long Clan a brighter future. In another angle, the strength of the Long Clan has been increased. If the Long Clan can’t see this, then they don’t deserve to continue being a powerful clan.
It was because the clan saw this that Zhao Hai’s status has increased by a lot. Now, Zhao Hai became well-known in Coiling Dragon City. The parents of the children he taught would actively greet him and give him gifts.
In addition, they would also flatter Zhao Hai. They felt grateful towards Zhao Hai every time they saw their child happily practicing. They could also see an obvious increase in the child’s strength.
On this day, after teaching the children, Zhao Hai went out of the city and explored the surroundings.
When he returned to his courtyard in Coiling Dragon City, Zhao Hai found that Long Tian was inside. Zhao Hai quickly gave his greetings, “Old Master, why are you here?”
Long Tian smiled and said, “The education program that you wrote was very good. Where did you return from?”
Zhao Hai smiled, “I went exploring the surroundings outside the city.”
Long Tian nodded, then he smiled and said, “So, are you wondering why my Long Clan chose such a place to construct the city?”
Zhao Hai chuckled, “A little.”
Long Tian sat beside the stone table and then said, “In the past, our Long Clan came across a huge crisis. We have no choice but to construct our city in this place. And now, we are already used to it, so we have no plans on moving.”
Zhao Hai nodded and didn’t ask anymore. Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, “You will definitely know about this matter in the future. The plane that the True Spirit Realm exists in isn’t the only one. There are plenty of planes that are like the True Spirit Realm.”
Zhao Hai nodded, he already thought about this. Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai and nodded, then he continued, “In the beginning, the True Spirit Realm wasn’t the world of the 81 Great Sects. At that time, it can be said that the True Spirit Realm belonged to the Long Clan. The True Spirit Realm was once a huge empire. The empire was named the Rising Dragon Dynasty. Our Long Clan is the ruler of this dynasty.
Zhao Hai stared; he didn’t expect to hear this. The entire True Spirit Realm was an empire? How was that possible? Such an empire would be too big, far beyond imagination.
Seeing Zhao Hai’s appearance, Long Tian smiled faintly, “Do you find it hard to believe? People would find it unbelievable the first time they hear this. But this is the truth. If there was no infighting within the Long Clan, the Rising Dragon Dynasty might still exist now.”
Zhao Hai became more interested with the story. Long Tian smiled bitterly and said, “In the beginning, the Long Clan was full of blooming flowers and rich in oil. The clan’s prosperity seemed eternal. But behind the light is always darkness. At that time, the Long Clan’s educational system wasn’t as developed as it is now. Many children weren’t able to get a good education. Even if one or two geniuses poop up, they would be suppressed by the people in the main lineage. There was no future for them in the clan.”
“Then all of a sudden, a rare genius appeared in a side branch of the Long Clan. He had the rare Innate Dao Body that only appears once in ten thousand years. But because he was from the side branch, he was suppressed. Even the Clan Head at that time looked for a reason to abolish his cultivation.
Zhao Hai stared. He didn’t expect the Long Clan to have such a dark side. They even wanted to abolish the cultivation of an Innate Dao Body. How could this be proper?
Long Tian smiled bitterly and continued, “It looks inconceivable, but the Long Clan of that time had the strength to ignore an Innate Dao Body. Even if an Innate Dao Body became a waste, the strength of the Clan wouldn’t be affected. And letting the Innate Dao Body develop would be a detriment to the members of the main lineage. In the mind of the Clan Head at that time, his actions were proper.”
Long Tian sighed, “Who would have thought that this wasted disciple from the Long Clan was a true genius. Nobody knows where he learned soul cultivation, but he cultivated his soul and slowly developed.”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. Soul cultivation was the method of Ghost Cultivators. Did this method come from the Long Clan?
Long Tian saw Zhao Hai and immediately guessed what was on his mind. Long Tian smiled bitterly and said, “You also guessed it, right? Ghost cultivation. That’s correct, the founder of Ghost Cultivation is the genius of the Long Clan. In the end, he recruited a group of disciples from the branch families and led a rebellion against the Long Clan. At that time, the clan was caught off-guard. In the end, the Rising Dragon Dynasty collapsed. Now, most of the founders of the 81 Great Sects were generals of the Rising Dragon Dynasty. After the dynasty collapsed, the Long Clan was afraid of being hunted down, so the clan moved here and established Coiling Dragon City. Up until today, the clan is still recuperating.”
Zhao Hai nodded. Now he understood how the Long Clan became so formidable. Moreover, he now understood why the Yin Yang Elders gave face to the Long Clan. The 81 Great Sects were originally subordinates of the clan. Although the Long Clan’s strength was inferior compared to its peak, it still regained some of its strength after many years of recuperation. The 81 Great Sects had no choice but to give face to the Clan.
Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Although the Long Clan lives in seclusion, the battle between the clan and the Ghost Cultivators didn’t stop. Moreover, after many years, we discovered that the existence of Ghost Cultivators isn’t so simple. There’s a shadow of another realm behind them.”
Zhao Hai stared, then his complexion changed, “You’re saying that the Ghost Cultivators are backed by another plane? Do these realms intend to invade the True Spirit Realm?”
Long Tian smiled bitterly and said, “They don’t intend to invade, they are already invading. In addition to fighting the Ghost Cultivators, the Long Clan is also fighting against people from other realms. Every year, the 81 Great Sects would send disciples to help the Long Clan.”
There’s such a thing? Zhao Hai didn’t expect that there would be such an arrangement. No wonder the status of the Long Clan remained high. They were also fighting against foreign invaders.
Long Tian looked at Zhao Hai and said, “The Yin Yang Elders also participated in our Long Clan’s hunting teams. This is the reason they know of our clan. Because of this, they also agreed for you to join.”
Zhao Hai nodded. Then Long Tian continued, “Our Long Clan doesn’t want to dominate the True Spirit Realm now. Although it looks beautiful on the surface, this would also make us the target of everyone. Outsiders don’t know about the existence of our clan, but the 81 Great Sects hoped for our clan’s existence. Isn’t that good?”
Zhao Hai agreed, he looked at Long Tian and said, “Old Master, I want to go back to the sect in a few days. I haven’t been back there for a while.”
Long Tian nodded, “You go. Other people can take charge of your student temporarily. In any case, your students have their own records. It won’t be a problem for another teacher to handle them.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “I’m sorry about this, Old Master.”
Long Tian waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to be polite. Go back and have a look. The Ghost Cultivators have made a move once more. We’re planning to organize a group of people to go underground and clean them up. Some children will also be relocated. You will have nothing to do at that time. It’s the right time for you to go back.”
Zhao Hai stared, then he asked, “Old Master, can I participate?”
Long Tian stared, then he shook his head and said, “No. You can’t go. The weakest cultivators we’ll send are Earth Monarchs. You don’t have enough strength.”
Although Long Tian’s words were impolite, Zhao Hai wasn’t angry. He looked at Long Tian and said, “Old Master, although I’m only at the Soul Fusion Stage, I believe I can defeat average Earth Monarchs. I can protect myself.”
Long Tian hesitated for a moment and then said, “If you really want to go, then your masters need to agree.”
Hearing Long Tian, Zhao Hai immediately agreed, “Alright. I’ll go and inform my masters about this. I’ll ask Old Master to allow me to go when the time comes.”
Long Tian smiled and said, “Rest assured, if the Yin Yang Elders agree, I will agree as well. You have a lot of methods, perhaps you can give us a surprise.”
