Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of East Ocean soldiers, Hao Ren and Zhao Hongyu stood on the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting and turned back.
In fact, with the speed of the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, it would take more than one day to walk around the territory of the East Ocean Dragon Clan. However, Zhao Hongyu took Hao Ren to the Immortal Spirit Island, which was the easternmost border of East Ocean. From this, Hao Ren knew how big the territory of East Ocean was.
Since the human cultivators entered Fifth Heaven, the land was controlled by the dragon cultivators. That was why the territory controlled by the East Ocean Dragon Clan was a super huge land!
Even the emperors in the ancient times were no more than this!
"Can't we set up an array formation near the Immortal Spirit Island?" Standing on the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, Hao Ren asked Zhao Hongyu.
"It's useless …" Zhao Hongyu shook her head. "The border between the Demon Sea and the territory of the East Ocean Dragon Clan is very long, and no array formation can completely surround it. Besides, even if we set up an array formation, it won't be able to withstand the attacks of demon beasts."
After a moment of consideration, she continued, "In fact, the four ocean dragon palaces have discussed your idea. However, if we completely seal the Demon Sea, it will turn the Demon Sea into a super big prison. It's hard to say what the ten demon kings will do."
Hao Ren froze for a moment and realized that he had indeed thought too little.
The ten demon kings in the Demon Sea were fighting with each other and had no time to care about the situation around the huge Demon Sea. However, if the four ocean dragon palaces set up an array formation at the border of the Demon Sea and turned it into a closed prison …
"In fact, besides this reason, the Demon Sea is also a battlefield for our four ocean dragon palaces to train our soldiers. Under the control of the Dragon God Shrine, the dragon cultivators can't easily kill each other, and they can only spar with each other. The hundreds of years of peace on First Heaven has weakened the combat power of the dragon palaces. However, as a strategic force, the four ocean dragon palaces must maintain a fierce combat power. The Demon Sea is a place for our soldiers to train in life-and-death situations, "Zhao Hongyu said calmly.
Hearing Zhao Hongyu's words, Hao Ren was stunned. Then, he thought about it and realized that this was the way of thinking of a person at the top of the Dragon Palace.
It was a good idea to set up an array formation to solve the problem once and for all and reduce casualties. However, without the training of demon beasts, the soldiers of East Sea would slowly slack off. If an invading enemy appeared one day, how could the soldiers of East Sea take up their weapons to fight the enemy?
Thinking back to the time when Zhao Kuo went through the Heavenly Tribulation, tens of thousands of soldiers bore the Heavenly Thunder fearlessly. Only the brave soldiers and generals who often fought on the battlefield could display such an imposing manner!
"Actually, when Zhao Kuo was the Great General, he spent more than half of his time fighting against demonic beasts or suppressing rebellions. Of course, they didn't need to worry about the scattered demon beasts, but every year, some small demon kings would bring hundreds or thousands of demon beasts and try to occupy the territory of the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Zhao Kuo's job is to defeat them and drive them back to the Demon Sea. "
Then, Zhao Hongyu turned her head and looked at Hao Ren. "One day, you will have to fight on the battlefield as well."
As a peak Qian-level master, Zhao Kuo was able to suppress the demon kings at the border of the Demon Sea or those who surrendered to the East Ocean Dragon Clan. However, Hao Ren's current strength …
"The Demon Sea is in a period of peace, and there haven't been any rebellions in the past five to six years. He guessed that the battles in the Demon Sea had been fierce in the past few years. That's why the West Ocean Dragon Clan has the energy and military force to deal with our East Ocean Dragon Clan. "
Zhao Hongyu's face showed a hint of anger. Among the four ocean dragon clans, the West Ocean Dragon Clan under Oldman Zeng was the most restless. When the Demon Sea was slightly peaceful, he began to target the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
However, Hao Ren was thinking about something else. No matter if it was the Demon Sea or the West Ocean Dragon Clan, strength was the most important factor on First Heaven.
No matter if it was the demon kings at the border of the East Ocean Dragon Clan or the West Ocean Dragon Clan, they had to use absolute strength to intimidate each other.
"Auntie, is Kunlun Mountain on First Heaven equivalent to the Nine Dragon Palace?" Hao Ren asked.
"Kunlun Mountain …" Zhao Hongyu didn't expect Hao Ren to ask this. After a moment of consideration, she answered, "Kunlun Mountain is the origin of the cultivation sects. When the cultivation sects migrated to Fifth Heaven, only Kunlun Mountain remained on First Heaven as a bargaining chip."
Seeing Hao Ren's puzzled expression, she continued, "Strictly speaking, the dragon cultivators occupy most of the land, water, and ocean regions on First Heaven, but there are some other forces. They are Kunlun Mountain, Demon Sea, and Overseas Celestial Mountain.
"Mount Kunlun is the origin of the cultivation sects, and it is still a forbidden area for dragon cultivators. Of course, it also doesn't allow ordinary human cultivators to enter. It is said that only Soul Formation cultivators who wander the world are qualified to enter Mount Kunlun."
"The Demon Sea is the territory of demon beasts, and a large number of high-level demon beasts live there. Those demon beasts that can transform into human forms can be called demon cultivators. The most powerful ones have their own territories in the deep ocean and become demon kings.
"The Overseas Celestial Mountain refers to the celestial islands floating on the surface of the Demon Sea. These islands are far from the land, and they originated from Kunlun Mountain. However, they have little contact with the cultivation sects on land. That's why the war between the five elemental dragon clans and the cultivation sects didn't affect the cultivators from the Overseas Celestial Mountain. They develop independently, and that's why they are called independent cultivators. "
"Soul Formation Realm cultivators, demon cultivators, independent cultivators …" Hao Ren immediately understood the relationship between them after Zhao Hongyu's explanation.
According to this explanation, Zhen Congming could be counted as a demon cultivator. However, he had just transformed into a human form, and his realm was only between Kan-level and Li-level. He was a weak demon cultivator who had just 'advanced'.
If the level 10 demon beasts broke through the Heavenly Tribulation and transformed into human forms, they could cultivate to Qian-level which was equivalent to the dragon cultivators or top-tier Nascent Soul Realm which was equivalent to top-tier Nascent Soul Realm.
The dragon cultivators were favored by the Heavenly Dao, and they were born with dragon cores which could help them cultivate. However, the demon beasts could only cultivate by instinct, unlock their intelligence, break through the Heavenly Tribulation, and cultivate again. It was more difficult than reaching peak Qian-level for the dragon cultivators!
"How powerful are the top 10 demon kings in the Demon Sea?" Hao Ren thought.
"Hehe, don't overthink it. The demon beasts and demon kings in the Demon Sea aren't interested in the land. The nature essence intensity in the Demon Sea is much higher than that on land, and they can only advance in the Demon Sea. "
Zhao Hongyu said with a smile when she saw Hao Ren's surprise.
Hao Ren smiled as well, thinking about Little White who only knew how to follow girls around. If it were thrown into the Demon Sea, it would probably be killed by the demon beasts in there with one slap.
Zhao Hongyu moved her fingers slightly, and the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting descended. A red energy sphere rose automatically and broke through the surface of the sea.
"Welcome, Dragon Queen!"
Their voices sounded in unison.
Zhao Hongyu removed the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting and stood on a reef at the bottom of the sea.
Hao Ren looked around and saw a big campsite. More than 80 big battle tents were neatly built at the bottom of the sea.
"This is the new Commanding General of East Ocean, Hao Ren," Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren and said.
"Welcome, Commanding General!"
Nearly 10,000 soldiers and dozens of generals cupped their hands and half-knelt.
"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!" Hao Ren thought for a moment and said in a loud voice.
Hua! Hua!
Hua! The soldiers and generals stood up in unison.
Compared with the banquet in the East Ocean Dragon Palace during the Dragon Boat Festival, the soldiers who were stationed in the sea area and ready to fight at any time looked more orderly.
Every soldier wore their armor properly, and the weapons in their hands were sharpened. The archers kept their bows and arrows with them all the time. Hao Ren couldn't help but admire them in secret.
As for the generals, some were wearing white armor, and some were wearing golden armor. They all looked serious, and it was obvious that they didn't put on their armor just for the time being.
This campsite was only one of the thousands of campsites in the sea area of the East Ocean Dragon Clan. When Zhao Hongyu entered the sea, they were already on standby, which meant that they had been observing the situation on the surface of the sea.
This campsite was a microcosm of the thousands of campsites. In fact, each campsite had strict military rules, and all the soldiers and generals were doing their best.
At this point, Hao Ren had to admire Zhao Kuo's strict management of the soldiers.
"Let's go," Zhao Hongyu said.
The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting spread out again, and it took Hao Ren and Zhao Hongyu from the bottom of the sea to the surface.
"Goodbye, Dragon Queen! Goodbye, Commanding General! "
More than 10,000 soldiers shouted in unison.
Zhao Hongyu flew the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting at its fastest speed, and they arrived at Coral Island in half an hour.
An hour later, the sun had set in the west, and Coral Island appeared in the hazy night scenery. The five-star hotel was brightly lit, and it looked like a bright conch in the dark night.
Zhao Hongyu didn't say anything else to Hao Ren since she believed that Hao Ren already knew what she wanted to say.
They took the elevator to the top floor of the hotel.
Yue Yang was drinking with a few girls in the presidential suite. She was in a good mood today, and she was surrounded by these cute girls, calling her "Auntie".
Little White circled around her feet, wanting to taste the wine as well. However, after a few glasses, Little White couldn't stand still anymore.
"Hongyu, you're back?" Yue Yang saw Zhao Hongyu and asked with a smile.
"Um …" Zhao Hongyu smiled faintly. "Why didn't you call me to drink?"
"Auntie, let me propose a toast to you!" Lu Linlin immediately picked up a glass and placed it in front of Zhao Hongyu.
They were all a bit tipsy, but the atmosphere was still warm.
"Ren, you should rest early," Zhao Hongyu turned around and said to Hao Ren who was standing at the door.
"Oh … Ok." Hao Ren looked at these cute girls who were blushing and looked like peonies. He scratched his head and walked to his suite alone.
Pa!
The door of the presidential suite was closed, and a burst of silver bell-like cheers sounded.
