Zhao Hai stood on top of the mountain and looked at the nearby Coiling Dragon City. This was his first time looking at the city, but when he saw the situation around the city, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be speechless.
It can be said that there were no roads in Coiling Dragon City. One had to use transmission formations to get in and out of the city. This was because the city was built in a huge valley surrounded by mountains. There was no exit at all.
It can be said that this place was a land of death. But what was good about it was that this valley was located in the middle of countless mountains. Outsiders simply couldn't find this place. Moreover, Coiling Dragon City used formations to hide the entire city. Even if someone were to fly over the city, they wouldn't be able to find it.
Zhao Hai couldn't understand why the Long Family chose this place to build their city. With the Long Family's strength, they should be able to walk unhindered in the entire True Spirit Realm. So why didn't they do the same?
Originally, with Zhao Hai's status, it was impossible for him to leave Coiling Dragon City. The Long Family wouldn't let Zhao Hai know the location of Coiling Dragon City. However, Zhao Hai's actions were too beautiful. The Long Family's trust in Zhao Hai had skyrocketed. At the same time, Zhao Hai's position in the hearts of the Long Family was also slowly changing.
The Long Family attached great importance to their inheritance. And Zhao Hai's child education plan was truly epoch-making for the Long Family. The Long Family believed that the children taught by Zhao Hai's method would be at least three times stronger than those who didn't.
It can be said that Zhao Hai gave the Long Family's children a brighter future. In a sense, he had increased the Long Family's fighting strength. If the Long Family couldn't see this, then they wouldn't be worthy of being called a Great Family.
In fact, they saw it. This was why Zhao Hai had such a high status in Coiling Dragon City. Zhao Hai's status in Coiling Dragon City was very high. The parents of the children that he taught would greet him and prepare gifts for him.
This was not to curry favor with Zhao Hai, they were just grateful to Zhao Hai. They saw that their children now completely regarded martial arts as a hobby. Seeing their children's martial arts improve day by day, and becoming stronger little by little, these parents had no reason to not be grateful to Zhao Hai.
Today, Zhao Hai had finished teaching the children. He came out of the city and walked around. Naturally, he saw the situation around Coiling Dragon City.
Returning to Coiling Dragon City, Zhao Hai entered his courtyard and found Long Dingtian there. Zhao Hai quickly bowed to Long Dingtian and said, "Elder, what happened?"
Long Dingtian smiled and said, "The education plan you wrote last time was pretty good. Where did you go today?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just went out to take a look around the city."
Long Dingtian nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "How about it? Do you find it strange that our Long Family would choose such a place to build a city?"
Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "Right, a little bit."
Long Dingtian and Zhao Hai sat at the stone table. Then Long Dingtian opened his mouth and said, "Our Long Family encountered a huge crisis in the past, so we had no choice but to build a city and live in seclusion. Now that we've gotten used to it, we don't want to move out."
Zhao Hai nodded, he didn't ask anything else. Looking at Zhao Hai, Long Dingtian sighed and said, "You'll definitely know about this in the future. The True Spirit Realm isn't the only plane in this layer. There are other planes like the True Spirit Realm." Zhao Hai nodded, he didn't ask anything else.
Zhao Hai nodded, he had already thought about this. Seeing Zhao Hai nod, Long Dingtian said, "In the past, the True Spirit Realm didn't belong to the 81 sects. It can be said that the entire True Spirit Realm belonged to our Long Family. At that time, the True Spirit Realm was just a huge empire, the Soaring Dragon Dynasty. And our Long Family was the ruler of the Soaring Dragon Dynasty."
Zhao Hai stared. He didn't expect the True Spirit Realm to be a huge empire. How was this possible? How big was this empire? It was hard to imagine.
Long Dingtian looked at Zhao Hai, then he smiled faintly and said, "Is it hard to imagine? People who hear this for the first time will find it hard to imagine. But this is the truth. If the Long Family didn't have internal strife, I'm afraid that the Soaring Dragon Dynasty would still exist. "
At that time, the Long Family's education wasn't as perfect as it is now. A lot of children from the side branches weren't able to get a good education. Even if there were one or two geniuses, they would be suppressed by the main branch. They simply didn't have a chance to shine. At that time, there was a genius in the side branch of the Long Family. He had a rare Xiantian Dao Body, but because of his status as a side branch, he was suppressed. The Patriarch even found a reason to cripple his martial arts. "
Zhao Hai stared blankly. He didn't expect that the Long Family would be so dark back then. Even a child of the collateral branch with a born Taoism aptitude was crippled. This was too unreasonable.
Long Dingtian looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, "Do you find it hard to believe? But at that time, the Long Family did have such strength. Crippling a cultivator with a born Taoism aptitude wouldn't affect the Long Family's rule. Letting this person with a born Taoism aptitude grow up wasn't a good thing for the direct descendants of the Long Family. Therefore, the Long Family's Patriarch thought that this was the right thing to do."
Long Dingtian sighed again and said, "But who would have thought that this crippled child of the Long Family was really a genius. I don't know where he learned the Duo Cultivation Technique. He began to cultivate himself with this kind of soul and slowly grew up."
Zhao Hai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Duo Cultivation Technique? Wasn't this the cultivation method of ghost cultivators? Was it actually from the Long Family?
Long Dingtian looked at Zhao Hai's expression and knew that he had guessed it. Long Dingtian smiled bitterly and said, "You guessed it too, right? Ghost cultivators, that's right. That genius of the Long Family was the founder of ghost cultivators. In the end, he gathered a group of collateral members of the Long Family to rebel against the Long Family. The Long Family didn't take any precautions at that time, so the Soaring Dragon Dynasty collapsed. Many of the founders of the 81 sects were subordinates of the Long Family at that time. After the Soaring Dragon Dynasty collapsed, the Long Family was afraid of being hunted down by others, so they moved here and built Coiling Dragon City.
Zhao Hai nodded. He now understood why the Long Family was so powerful and why the Yin-yang Elders gave the Long Family face. The 81 sects were originally subordinates of the Long Family. Although the Long Family wasn't as strong as before, after so many years of recuperation, the Long Family's strength was still formidable. Therefore, the 81 sects had no choice but to give the Long Family face.
Long Dingtian looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Although the Long Family has been living in seclusion, the struggle between the Long Family and ghost cultivators has never stopped. Moreover, after so many years of understanding, we discovered that ghost cultivators aren't that simple. There are shadows of other realms behind the ghost cultivators."
Zhao Hai stared, then his expression changed as he said, "You're saying that there are shadows of other realms behind the ghost cultivators? Could it be that other realms want to invade the Real Spiritual World? "
Long Dingtian smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that they want to invade the Real Spiritual World, they've already begun to invade the Real Spiritual World. For so many years, the Long Family has been fighting ghost cultivators as well as people from other realms. The 81 sects also send some disciples to help the Long Family every year."
There's such a thing? Zhao Hai didn't think that there would be such a thing. No wonder the Long Family had such a high status in the Real Spiritual World. They had been fighting ghost cultivators all this time.
Long Dingtian looked at Zhao Hai and said, "The Yin-yang Elders joined the Long Family's ghost hunting team in the past. Therefore, they have a certain understanding of the Long Family. Because of this, they agreed to let you join the Long Family."
Zhao Hai nodded. Long Dingtian looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Our Long Family doesn't want to dominate the Real Spiritual World anymore. Although it looks impressive, we'll also become a target for everyone. It's good to be like this. Outsiders don't know about our Long Family's existence and the various sects hope that our Long Family can continue to exist. Isn't that good?"
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he looked at Long Dingtian and said, "Elder, I want to go back to the sect in a few days. I haven't been back for a while."
Long Dingtian nodded and said, "Go ahead. You can let someone else take over your students at any time. In any case, each of your students has their own learning records. There's nothing wrong with letting someone else take care of them."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Thank you, Elder." Long Dingtian waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite. Go back and take a look. The ghost cultivators have been making a move recently. We're going to organize a group of people to go underground and deal with them. Otherwise, they'll be too rampant. Some of the children will need to be moved away. When the time comes, you'll have nothing to do."
Zhao Hai stared. Then his expression changed as he said, "Elder, can I participate in this operation?"
Long Dingtian stared. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and shook his head. He said, "No, you shouldn't go. The weakest cultivators sent underground are at least at the Transcending Realm. You're not qualified to go."
Although Long Dingtian's words weren't polite, Zhao Hai didn't get angry. He looked at Long Dingtian and said, "Elder, although I'm only at the Joining Soul Stage, I believe that ordinary Transcending Realm cultivators aren't my match. Let me go."
Long Dingtian looked at Zhao Hai and said, "How about this. If you really want to go, you can. But Yin Yang and Yang must agree first."
When Zhao Hai heard Long Dingtian, he immediately nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go back and tell Master about this. When the time comes, I'll have to ask the Elder to agree."
Long Dingtian smiled and said, "Don't worry. If Yin Yang is willing, I'll definitely agree to let you go. You have a lot of tricks up your sleeves. Bringing you along might bring unexpected results."
Zhao Hai smiled and didn't say anything.
