nt disciples uneasy. It was clear to everyone that the journey to Xuan Ye City was fraught with danger, far more so than remaining in Wang Yue City. After all, Wang Yue City was a hub for the powerhou...As expected, there's no such thing as a horse without grass to be fat, nor a person without unexpected wealth to be rich. Looking at the over 60,000 dragons within the Qingguo Barrier, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel a twinge of melancholy. He had been working for thousands of years, pulling strings in every direction, and the number of dragons inside the secret realm had only barely increased to over ten thousand. Of them, only a few thousand were truly capable of fighting on the battlefield.
It takes a long time for the rest to truly grow up. It takes ten years for a tree to grow and a hundred years for a person to grow, and the growth time of a dragon is even longer. There are no shortcuts.
Luckily, with nearly 50,000 dragon clan members under the command of the East Sea Dragon King now incorporated into the Qingguo barrier, Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of sudden wealth.
Although these dragon clans are overall weaker than the Dragon Wolf Riders, there's a considerable gap. However, for Lu Xiaoteng, what he lacks now is the number of dragons, and everything else can be improved upon. The reason why the dragon clans under the command of the East Sea Dragon King are relatively weak is simply the result of long-term suppression by the Heavenly Court.
The cultivation technique was too poor, and there were many factors such as insufficient resources in the past. But within the Qingguo Barrier, these are no longer problems.
These dragon clans entered the Qingguo boundary and each let out cheers of unrestrained joy.
Besides these dragon clans, over seventy thousand sea monster clans also entered the Qingguo Barrier, effectively filling the Qingguo Barrier to a considerable extent.
The Qingguo boundary, which originally appeared quite spacious and empty, was now bustling with activity.
"Millennia in a blink of an eye." Yuan Shi Jian Mo looked at the rapidly changing green fruit barrier, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. But what moved him most was the master of the green fruit barrier, that once insignificant junior he hadn't looked down upon. His cultivation base was far inferior to his own. Being taken into the green fruit barrier was just an accident in the spirit world back then. Even if his physical body was destroyed, Yuan Shi Jian Mo didn't pay any attention to Lu Xiaotian.
Now, Lu Xia Tian has grown to a point where he can no longer ignore it. The other party has truly gathered such a powerful force in such a short time. At this moment, just looking at the Golden Immortal-level powerhouses under his command, the East Sea Dragon King, Black Dragon, Su Pojun from the City of Dique, and eight Giant Stone Clan members who have already fought for Lu Xia Tian several times, although they haven't been completely subdued by Lu Xia Tian yet, as long as Lu Xia Tian takes time to visit the Small Giant Stone Realm later on, it will only be a matter of time.
But the most crucial point was that Lu Xia Tian had actually broken through to the Jinxian level dragon clan, and his primordial spirit's strength had reached an inconceivable level. No matter how fast Lu Xia Tian grew before, there was still an insurmountable distance between them. But right now, both sides were closing the gap at an astonishing rate.
An insignificant junior from a humble background had actually grown to this level. Even now, the Primordial Sword Demon couldn't help but feel as if he were in a dream.
"Jian Mo, Long Zhu has a bright future ahead. You have been living in the Qingguo barrier for so many years without contributing anything, haven't you felt guilty I think you should simply join forces with Long Zhu. Wouldn't it be great if we worked together to achieve something magnificent in the Immortal Realm" Compared to Yuan Shi Jian Mo's lament, Heihei Long, as a veteran, was particularly proud and energetic lately due to the recent surge in power of the Dragon Clan.
"Everyone has their own reasons. You dragon people need to fight against the heavens, the earth, and humans. Enemies are everywhere in the myriad realms. Though my disposition may be aloof, I am not arrogant enough to think this way. I still want to live for a few more years." Yuanshi Jianmo shook his head.
"You overthink things," Hei Long shook his head, though secretly feeling a tinge of regret. Yuan Shi Jian Mo, this fellow, had carved out his own path in swordsmanship, a true prodigy. To fall into Lu Xiao Tian's hands was merely bad luck. Otherwise, he would likely have reached the level of Xian Jun by now. This man is truly someone not to be underestimated.
"Lu Daoist friend, when are you going to help me retrieve that soulless demonic body" At this time, Lu Xiaofeng's strength had grown to the level of a Golden Immortal. The two could now address each other as equals. Yuanshi Jianmo was somewhat unaccustomed to this change, but it was also natural.
“Back then, I said that when Yuan Shi Dao You ceased to be a threat, I would let him leave. It's still too early for that now. My Dao companions, disciples, and numerous clansmen are all within the Qingguo Barrier. I have to consider their circumstances. Since Yuan Shi Dao You has already stayed here for so many years, why rush things” Lu Xiao Tian smiled upon hearing this. Although he considered himself a man of his word, he also had to be responsible for everyone inside the Qingguo Barrier.”
"Alright, I understand." Yuanshi Jianmo sighed. He had known this would be the answer all along, but there was a sliver of hope in his heart. Perhaps Lu Xia Tian, having recently advanced and increased in strength, might agree

“Lord Dragon Master!” The East Sea Dragon King flew over from afar, bowing to Lu Xia Tian. Following local customs, he now understood what this green fruit barrier was like and more clearly, that Lu Xia Tian was the sole master within it.
"How do you like the environment here" Lu Xia Tian asked.
"I'm extremely satisfied. The tribesmen I brought here feel the same way." The East Sea Dragon King wasn't being flattering. In this new world, the dragon race was their master, not needing to live in fear as they did in the East Sea before. This sense of relaxation was something they had never experienced.
“This time I called you here to discuss the future of these dragon clans. For years, they have been under the oppression of the Celestial Court, and as a result, their overall strength has weakened. This situation needs to change. The cultivation techniques within the Qingguo Barrier are open to all. Discuss with Black Dragon Elder and decide on a tiered granting system for the techniques. Focus on cultivating those with exceptional talent.”
"This fruit barrier is only a relatively safe place for now, and it may not be safe forever. In the future, the Dragon Clan will need to protect this pure land themselves. During this process, each member of the Dragon Clan needs to improve their strength. I will also continue to find ways to strengthen the power of the Dragon Clan..."
Lu Xiaotian confided some plans to the East Sea Dragon King. Although he had incorporated these dragon clans into the Qingguo barrier, gaining their complete acceptance still required a considerable amount of time. As for incorporating their power into the totem, that was an even longer process.
These nearly 50,000 dragons were all former subordinates of the Eastern Sea Dragon King. To eliminate their resistance in the shortest amount of time, cultivate their techniques, and completely integrate them into the Qingguo barrier, naturally requires the full cooperation of the Eastern Sea Dragon King.
“Rest assured, Dragon Master. It’s not easy for the Dragon Clan to have such an autonomous place. I will definitely do my best to cooperate with your plan,” The East Sea Dragon King hurriedly agreed.
Lu Xia Tian nodded, the East Sea Dragon King was willing to cooperate fully, and the subsequent complete integration of this dragon clan's power would naturally be accelerated.
After dealing with some matters, Lu XiaTian’s figure flickered and he appeared beside Dongfang Yi. The matter of the East Sea Dragon Tomb was over, now it was time to deal with Dongfang Yi.
