Chapter 182: Making the Mock Heaven Sect Great Again!

Chapter 182: Making the Mock Heaven Sect Great Again!

"Then it would be rude to decline."

Chen Qiu stood up and followed Ao Tian, flying through the air towards the treasure vault he had mentioned. After taking care of matters here, he would find a place to consume the Nascent Soul Dao Cultivation Pills.

Advancing in the Nascent Soul Stage was quite challenging.

He had initially thought that he would be stuck at this stage for a long time.

But now, it seemed that his progress might be even faster than during the Core Formation Stage. He recalled that his progress during the Core Formation Stage wasn't this rapid. Indeed, the ways of the world were unpredictable, and human calculations could never match those of heaven.

After this matter was settled, he would enter closed-door cultivation.

Aside from improving his cultivation, he also had two unclaimed middle-grade Heavenly Wheels.

Before this, he had been full of hope and specifically sought out a Feng Shui paradise, wishing to obtain a Nascent Soul Dao Cultivation Pill. Now, he was full of hope but only wished that it wouldn't be a Nascent Soul Dao Cultivation Pill. He currently lacked everything except for these pills.

The Nascent Soul Dao Cultivation Pills he carried in his arms were more than enough.

Meanwhile, on the other side—

Dragon Island, in the square.

Heavy panting sounds dominated the square as Fatty Dragon vigorously moved atop a mother dragon, with three smaller dragons surrounding them.

The Black Dragon and two other small female dragons.

It had been a long time since any outsiders had visited Dragon Island.

Today, however, it was unusually bustling.

The few dragons on the island had gathered to join the commotion. Additionally, two mature women with lingering charm stood nearby, gazing at the scene in the square. Behind these women were three young girls with tears welling up in their eyes.

In the Dragon Clan, any dragon capable of transforming into a human form was considered to have reached the Soul Transformation Stage.

These two mature women with lingering charm and the three youthful-looking girls, along with the two small female dragons standing next to the Black Dragon, and the Dragon Clan Patriarch, Ao Tian, comprised the entire population of dragons on the island.

Or, to be precise, they were the only active members of the Dragon Clan on the island.

In the vast Dragon Clan, only these nine dragons were capable of movement.

Perhaps due to women's innate sensitivity, even the mother dragon was no exception.

At this moment, all the women had teary eyes as they looked at Fatty Dragon. They were all aware that the Dragon Clan was on the verge of a great revival, and the path to its demise had ended. In a few thousand years, at most, the Dragon Clan would return to its peak and become the number one clan on the Xuantian Continent!

"Hmm?"

The Black Dragon, who had been circling around Fatty Dragon, looked at him with curiosity and asked, "Why are you still so energetic? Aren't you tired?"

"Not at all."

Fatty Dragon, gasping for breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "A man can't show weakness. It's not easy to have the opportunity to contribute significantly to the Mock Heaven Sect. How could I, Fatty Dragon, possibly stop now?"

"Your name is Black Dragon, and mine is Fatty Dragon."

"Our names go well together."

"By the way—"

Fatty Dragon turned his head to look at the women standing nearby, observing them. He hesitated and asked, "Do they have to stand here and watch? It feels a bit unusual. Aren't they at the Soul Transformation Stage?"

"Yes."

The Black Dragon hovered in mid-air, his eyes fixed on Fatty Dragon's lower abdomen. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he said subconsciously, "Those two small female dragons are my sisters, born to my father. They're just over a hundred years old, only slightly older than me."

"Those two younger female dragons seem to have just turned a thousand years old recently. I'm not sure how to address them. I guess they're my cousins. They were born to another male dragon a thousand years ago, but that male dragon is now dead."

"The two older ones share the same mother as my father. According to human customs, how should I address them? Ah, my aunts?"

"It's been a long time since any outsiders have set foot on Dragon Island."

"Usually, they just sleep and don't have much to do. It's rare to have a new face around, especially one who has come to revive the clan. It's natural for them to want to take a look."

"Impressive."

The Black Dragon looked down at the mother dragon whose belly was gradually swelling, feeling slightly amazed. "Another mother dragon is pregnant. I've worked so hard for so long, but I haven't been able to get a single mother dragon pregnant. Yet, in just a short while, you've already gotten three mother dragons pregnant!"

"Not bad."

Fatty Dragon took a deep breath, feeling his legs turning slightly numb. He sat down on the ground, took out a jar of cool water from his storage ring, and began gulping it down. Even with dragons, mating was more exhausting than with humans.

But there was good news.

He had now reached the second layer of the Golden Core, and his cultivation progress was already close to the third layer.

Damn!

This was like riding a rocket in terms of cultivation speed. He estimated that in less than three days, he should be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. This speed was several times faster than Scholar's cultivation pace. Even if Scholar consumed all the Heavenly Dao Golden Core Cultivation Pills, his cultivation speed wouldn't match Fatty Dragon's.

Most of these mother dragons were at the middle or late stages of the Soul Transformation Stage, some even at the peak.

Fatty Dragon had only been at the first layer of the Golden Core.

He had directly skipped two entire major cultivation realms, over twenty minor realms, almost thirty, and he also had the "Heavenly Destiny Dual Cultivation" entry. His cultivation speed was off the charts.

One could soar to great heights in life without necessarily having numerous opportunities. Often, encountering a single significant opportunity was enough to achieve greatness.

He, Fatty Dragon, had waited for this grand opportunity today!

"Wait—"

Fatty Dragon suddenly realized something and turned his head towards the Black Dragon, looking perplexed. "You said those two small female dragons are your sisters, born to your father?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Are the two mature women your father's sisters?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"But didn't you say earlier that they were your father's exclusive mother dragons, and you couldn't touch them?"

"Hmm, what's up?"

"What the hell is going on here!"

Fatty Dragon looked at Black Dragon with disbelief, his face full of shock. "Your Dragon Clan is really chaotic. What's going on here? If humans did this, they'd be backstabbed by others. Even if they did it, they'd do it secretly. Why are you all so shameless?"

"I understand."

Black Dragon shook his head, his beard swaying in the air. "According to human customs, this seems to be forbidden or not openly encouraged. That's because humans have a large population, and even with daily fighting and killing, their numbers can still maintain a normal state."

"Naturally, there are all sorts of rules."

"Even if humans don't engage in promiscuity, they can still maintain a normal lineage."

"But this is not acceptable in the Dragon Clan. Even at the peak of the Dragon Clan, there was never any concept of family ethics. In the Dragon Clan, there is no such identity distinction; they are only divided into male and female dragons."

"Any male dragon can mate with any female dragon."

"Without considering anything else."

"Even at their peak, the Dragon Clan had a larger population than they do now, but compared to other races, their numbers were still extremely scarce. If they followed the human way and avoided women related to them by blood, the Dragon Clan would have perished long ago."

"In the Dragon Clan, the strongest male dragon can possess the most beautiful female dragon."

"Those few are my father's. My father is the strongest in the Dragon Clan, and even I have never touched them."

"But..."

Black Dragon turned his head with a hint of envy, looking at the few women behind him. "The woman on the left is called Mei Ye, also a Cloud Veil Dragon. Her bloodline is of the eighth grade, one grade higher than my father's. For the Dragon Clan, the higher the bloodline grade, the stronger the potential and strength."

"The higher the bloodline grade of the mating pair, the higher the probability of giving birth to a high-grade bloodline dragon offspring."

"My father also favors her very much."

"If only you were my father, then my bloodline grade would definitely be better. If only you had mated with my mother back then..."

"Stop!"

Fatty Dragon silently interrupted Black Dragon. He seemed to understand the logic of the Dragon Clan, which was that "breeding" was the top priority, and everything else had to give way to breeding and lineage.

He had already rested for quite a while.

Taking a deep breath, he rolled up his sleeves and headed towards the fourth mother dragon again.

"You're really going at it with enthusiasm."

Not far away, the scholar and his younger brother stood by, looking at Fatty Dragon's hard work in the distance with a sigh. Fatty Dragon had asked them to stand there to maintain order.

When Chen Qiu and Ao Tian were chatting, Ao Tian suggested that Chen Qiu release the disciples of the Mock Heaven Sect so that both sides could interact more and become familiar with each other. This way, they could recognize each other in the future, and the relationship between the two forces would be more harmonious.

So, Chen Qiu released all the brown bears from the Mock Heaven Sect, as the other disciples were still in Quzhou, working hard to sell Redemption Orders.

Although these brown bears lived in the back mountain, they were still considered disciples of the Mock Heaven Sect, possessing disciple tokens.

However, Fatty Dragon didn't want these brown bears to see this scene, so he ordered them to stay here and not allow any brown bears to approach.

After all, even if the truth was revealed.

It was still not very elegant, as she was a mother dragon.

Unless it was a Soul Transformation Mother Dragon.

Fatty Dragon glanced at the few women still watching by his side, clenched his teeth, and slowly closed his eyes, as if quenching his thirst by thinking of plums. He did it all for the Mock Heaven Sect! To make the Mock Heaven Sect great again!

As the Grand Elder, he should be at the forefront!

"Okay then."

The scholar sighed lightly, understanding the situation. It was indeed a bit embarrassing, but on the other hand, the Dragon Clan's innate talent was truly enviable.

As long as they reach adulthood, they become Soul Transformation Stage.

During this time, they don't need to do anything, practice cultivation, or cultivate. They only need to eat and drink, occasionally sleep for a few decades, and after waking up naturally, they would take a walk. After 500 years of this, they would naturally reach the Soul Transformation Stage.

It's hard for even one in a million ordinary people to reach the Soul Transformation Stage.

Countless Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators have no hope of breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage in their lifetime. However, for the Dragon Clan, it is a rather simple and almost certain stage to reach, as long as they don't die prematurely.

It's truly enviable.

If only humans could naturally reach the Soul Transformation Stage after adulthood.

At this moment—

On the other side of the island, in a simple-looking underground cave, the walls were lined with storage rings, and each storage ring had a small inscription next to it, indicating the contents.

"Here."

Ao Tian's smile was almost uncontrollable as he introduced, "Here are some ordinary items. Some genius-level treasures cannot be stored in storage rings and must be kept separately. Everything that can be stored in the rings is here."

"This is the Dragon Clan's foundation and my treasure vault."

"After all, the Dragon Clan is almost down to just me, so the Dragon Clan's treasures are mine."

At this moment, he was feeling very happy.

Indeed, there had been too many good things happening recently.

Not only was the Dragon Clan's rise looking promising, but the most crucial thing was that the blood contract had been signed, firmly binding Chen Qiu and Ao Tian to the same boat. The blood contract was not a very restrictive agreement but rather a formal promise.

The promise stated that the Mock Heaven Sect and the Dragon Clan would become the most sincere allies within ten thousand years, helping each other and never invading.

The Dragon Clan values promises, especially those sealed with a blood contract.

The Dragon Clan's rise had already made him excited, but he never expected to be bound to Chen Qiu, a Supreme Celestial Fortune with a Twelfth Stage Core Formation, Twelfth Stage Nascent Soul, and a high probability of possessing a Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm.

The Dragon Clan had truly hit the jackpot this time.

If Chen Qiu had no gratitude towards them and it was always the Dragon Clan who owed him, then they wouldn't be sure if Chen Qiu would ever repay them in the future, or even turn their kindness into enmity.

However, now that Chen Qiu was the one in their debt, it meant that no matter how much he gave at present, he would definitely help the Dragon Clan when they needed him in the future.

You can't always count on someone you've helped to help you back.

But someone who has helped you will most likely help you again.

"Speaking of which, it's quite a pity."

Ao Tian suddenly sighed, "It's been many years since I last saw the Phoenix Clan. They are different from us; their reproduction is also quite challenging. Tens of thousands of years ago, they were allies with our Dragon Clan."

"But it's been almost ten thousand years since we've heard any news of the Phoenix Clan. It's likely that their lineage has been severed."

"Forget about that for now."

Ao Tian handed Chen Qiu a storage ring, "This storage ring contains tens of thousands of Primordial Soul Dao Cultivation Pills that have been passed down for countless years, all plundered from the Xuantian Continent."

"I'll keep a few for myself, and the rest are for you. There are over sixty thousand pills."

"Initially, there were more, but each Dragon Clan Patriarch liked to snack on these pills, and the supply gradually diminished."

"With over sixty thousand Primordial Soul Dao Cultivation Pills, it should be enough for your Mock Heaven Sect."

"Thank you, brother."

Chen Qiu didn't hesitate this time. He took the storage ring and tucked it into his chest, unable to suppress the smile on the corners of his mouth. When he turned to see Ao Tian's equally uncontainable smile, he finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Both of them smiled at each other.

"Let's make the Dragon Clan great again!"

"Let's make the Mock Heaven Sect great again!"

"Let's make it great together!"

In this world, there are rarely any completely win-win situations. Many seemingly win-win scenarios still leave one side at a slight disadvantage, as even in a win-win situation, there is a difference between winning more and winning less.

And for this very reason, nine out of ten win-win collaborations end up with an unhappy ending. On the other hand, collaborations that start off as a lose-lose situation, such as mutually holding leverage over each other, often last much longer.

Scenes like the win-win situation between the Mock Heaven Sect and the Dragon Clan are rare, and it's not just a win-win; it's a multi-win.

The Dragon Clan won big, as the threat of their clan's destruction was resolved. Moreover, the sower was a Golden Dragon with a Twelfth Rank Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Bloodline, who could quickly produce a large number of dragon cubs with high-grade bloodlines. These cubs were born as Heaven's Pride and were tightly bound to Chen Qiu, the Supreme Celestial Fortune.

The Fatty Dragon also won big. He contributed to the Mock Heaven Sect, proving his worth as the Great Elder, and engaged in Twin Cultivation with numerous Soul Transformation Mother Dragons, rapidly enhancing his cultivation, which was incredibly satisfying.

The Mock Heaven Sect also won big. With a massive supply of Primordial Soul Dao Cultivation Pills, the Nascent Soul disciples of the sect could experience the feeling of popping these pills like candy. Within a year, they would all advance to the Soul Transformation Stage.

Chen Qiu also won big. Whether it was the Dragon Clan or the Mock Heaven Sect, their strengthened power was equivalent to his own. Ao Tian directly provided him with all the materials needed for the Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm.

This collaboration was a multi-party win, where everyone was the biggest winner, and such collaborations were hard to come by.

"Come, little brother."

Ao Tian continued to lead the way, "I'll give you all the materials needed for the Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm first. There are a few Celestial Materials that cannot be stored in the storage ring, but with your Mini Universe, that won't be a problem."

"Alright."

Chen Qiu had completely entered a state of not being polite. He had been polite earlier, but now it was time to be assertive. This was a case of 'when heaven bestows, take it, or else you'll be punished'.

He knew that some genius treasures couldn't be stored in storage rings, like the magic lotuses in Daxia Country, which could only be kept in the Mini Universe.

"Over here are the spirit stones."

Ao Tian's expression turned serious as he took out a storage ring from the wall and handed it to Chen Qiu, "Brother, I must first apologize. Spirit stones are a crucial strategic resource for the Dragon Clan, especially with many clan members about to be born. I really can't give you too many."

"Please forgive me, little brother."

"These ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones, please accept them and don't think they are too few."

"I don't think they're too few, not at all."

Chen Qiu happily put the storage ring back into his chest. He had only obtained ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones from destroying the Karmic Sect, but here he had gained ten times that amount.

He was content.

Adding to this, the redemption orders sold by the Mock Heaven Sect disciples and his previous stock, there would still be plenty left after crafting the Twelfth Stage Soul Transformation Realm.

Everything was moving in a positive direction.

He still needed a strand of Celestial Fortune, and he had to figure out a way to get it.

Although he had obtained several strands of Celestial Fortune, they were all gained passively. If he had to actively obtain one, he wasn't sure where to start.

He still needed to find a suitable Soul Transformation Domain Totem.

The 'Tenfold Casting' was clearly not suitable for him.

PS: There will be two more chapters tomorrow at noon.

Good news, I slept for three hours last night, and by accident, I fixed my biological clock. This means I can sleep naturally tonight.

I'm looking forward to a natural wake-up, and I can't imagine how wonderful it will be.

PS2: The update schedule will be fixed like this for the time being, with one chapter in the evening and two at noon. The update times won't change for the short term, until my biological clock gets messed up again.
