(Three chapters have been published, no more for today.)
Lu Xiaotian had already gone to several different lightning regions, which could be considered as carrying out the task given to him by Yan Ji. For the time being, he didn't have to face too big of a threat. Lu Xiaotian also intended to accompany Xiang Qingcheng for a while to make up for the days when they were separated from each other for a long time.
Once they returned to the Turtle Spirit Immortal Domain, even if Lu Xiaotian basically stayed in his territory to cultivate or refine pills, there would always be some complicated interests that needed to be considered outside. Lu Xiaotian also had to put in some effort to earn immortal crystals. After leaving the Turtle Spirit Immortal Domain, there would be no conflict of interests. Only then could he relax to a certain extent.
Along the way, Xiong Ye and a few other youths used fish nets to carry the dumb black fish forward. At the same time, they also excitedly introduced the situation of their clan to Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng, as well as some of the sights along the way.
Xiong Ye's clan only had about a few hundred people. Lu Xiaotian released his divine sense. Within the range of his divine sense, he sensed at least five or six different clans like this on this land. They were divided into different regions by the mountains, rivers, and lakes of this land.
In addition, there were several clans with only a few hundred people. Their living conditions varied. After all, there were many monsters here that were not weaker than the blue-scaled crocodile.
"The Heavenly Court doesn't govern and educate so many people. They only want to expand and destroy countless forces. They are really insatiable."
Xiang Qingcheng's primordial spirit was far inferior to Lu Xiaotian's. After all, he was also a powerful True Immortal. His divine sense also discovered the existence of other clans. Due to his relationship with Lu Xiaotian, Xiang Qingcheng instinctively had a resistance to the Honghao Heavenly Court or other Heavenly Courts. After seeing the living conditions of clans like Xiong Ye's, he hated the Heavenly Court's actions even more.
"It doesn't matter if we govern first. First, we have to enclose our sphere of influence. It's easy to talk about educating people, but it's not that easy to really educate all the people in the Immortal Domain. " Lu Xiaotian shook his head. The Honghao Heavenly Emperor might have the intention of educating people, but the entire Heavenly Court could not be ruled by the Heavenly Emperor alone. Instead, it was the combination of countless large and small forces. Whatever rain and dew the Heavenly Courts gave out, after being filtered by these large and small factions, how much of it could land on the various races?
Lu Xiaotian had come into contact with many people from the Immortal Realm. They had a natural sense of superiority over the natives outside the Heavenly Court, so they openly bullied these natives. What benefits did the Heavenly Emperor give out? In the eyes of the people of the immortal realms, the despicable natives of the various lands were not worthy to enjoy the benefits of the Heavenly Emperor.
After so many years in the Heavenly Courts, the class of interests had long been solidified. The situation in the other Heavenly Courts would not be much better.
A large number of local natives like Xiong Ye didn't even have any concept of the Heavenly Court.
Xiang Qingcheng had saved the lives of Xiong Ye and the others, so Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng were treated with great hospitality.
Xiong Ye and his clansmen sang and danced. Lu Xiaotian and Xiang Qingcheng had seen too many dances, and they were much more beautiful and varied than the Xiong Kuqun in front of them. However, compared to the simple joy and self-sufficiency contained in the dances of the Withering Bear Clan, the dances that purposely pursued beauty and attractiveness had traces of being overly sculpted.
This kind of rough, yet simple, and direct dance contained the joy of a bountiful harvest and the safe return of their clansmen, as well as the yearning for a better life. When Lu Xiaotian no longer thought about the gains and losses in the Immortal Realm and only regarded himself as a member of the Withering Bear Clan, his emotions couldn't help but be infected by the joy of the Withering Bear Clan. It seemed that he had also become one of the most simple members of the clan.
At this moment, Lu Xiaotian's body seemed to stir. The dragon essence that had been stagnant and almost unresponsive all this time seemed to have an electric current passing through it, causing Lu Xiaotian to feel a little itchy.
Lu Xiaotian's expression shook. He had refined the dragon essence for so long and had spent so many immortal crystals and other costs that it was impossible to count. Towards the end, the dragon essence had almost stopped growing, although it was slowly becoming more refined. On the whole, it was growing at an extremely slow rate.
Lu Xiaotian didn't know when the dragon essence in his body would find an opportunity. He could only cultivate day after day. He hadn't expected that unknowingly becoming part of the Withering Bear Clan's simple and unadorned joy would cause his dragon essence to throb.
The night sky was filled with dazzling stars. Hundreds of Withering Bear Clan members surrounded a few blazing bonfires, singing and dancing. Waves of laughter pierced through the night and spread far and wide in the void.
The throb in his body grew more and more obvious. Lu Xiaotian whispered something to Xiang Qingcheng, who was beside him. Then, with a toss of his hand, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda flew out of his palm. It landed less than a hundred feet away from where the Withering Bear Clan members were singing and dancing. The Yao-Sealing Pagoda grew at a visible rate, its tip piercing into the night sky.
When the Withering Bear Clan members saw the pagoda grow taller and taller, they exclaimed in surprise. Xiang Qingcheng's gentle voice traveled into everyone's ears, indicating that they didn't need to be nervous. At that moment, Lu Xiaotian floated into the air and stepped into the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
The hundreds of Withering Bear Clan members only relaxed when they saw that it was Lu Xiaotian who had entered the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. They couldn't help but yearn for such godly means.
When they realized that there was no other danger, they returned to the joyous scene from before. Lu Xiaotian sat cross-legged inside the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. He could still sense the joyous scene outside the pagoda with his divine sense. The dragon essence in his body was still throbbing. A moment later, his divine sense completely sank into his body.
The dragon essence was still throbbing slowly. It was more active than usual, while the immortal essence retreated into his dantian like the tide. Threads of dragon essence spread throughout his meridians and flowed slowly.
At that moment, the Withering Bear Clan members were singing and dancing. It was an extremely ordinary scene. It was like a clear image was reflected in Lu Xiaotian's mind. It was as if these images were the source of the dragon essence in his body. At the same time, from the depths of Lu Xiaotian's soul, there was a surge of endless sorrow. This sorrow was filled with the vicissitudes of time. Time was supposed to be able to erase all scars, but this kind of sorrow had become even heavier in the long river of time. It seeped into the depths of Lu Xiaotian's heart bit by bit. It was like a cup of bitter wine. The bitterness and sorrow seeped into his heart.
Lu Xiaotian didn't know where this sorrow and vicissitudes of time came from. It shouldn't have anything to do with him, but it seemed to have merged with his soul so naturally. It was as if it had always been one with him. It was as if this had always flowed in his blood. It was just that it had never been awakened.
At that moment, the scene of the Withering Bear Clan members laughing and chatting became clearer. It flowed in his blood, and the sorrow and vicissitudes of time that throbbed in his soul.
For some reason, Lu Xiaotian seemed to have understood something deep in his heart. It was as if the scene in front of the Withering Bear Clan members was what his blood was searching for. This was the most pure and simple satisfaction …
