Thump!
Thump!
Ever since he swallowed the dragon egg, Lin Xuan's mountainous body would occasionally emit muffled thuds, as if something was violently slamming into Lin Xuan's abdomen.
Without a doubt, it was the dragon egg that was causing the commotion.
The reason the dragon egg was in such a frenzy was not because Lin Xuan's stomach posed a great threat to it, but because as the son of the esteemed Dragon God, its current situation made it feel a great humiliation, a humiliation that it could not tolerate.
Therefore, it resisted at all costs. It did not hesitate to exhaust its own vital energy to make Lin Xuan, this despicable human, pay the price.
Every time it slammed into him, Lin Xuan's body would shake violently, and even the ground beneath his feet would emit loud bangs that traveled far and wide.
However, that was all.
Lin Xuan's body was incomparably strong, and he could completely withstand the intensity of the dragon egg's slamming into him. He would only feel a little discomfort.
Moreover, Lin Xuan was happy to see the dragon egg's reaction.
The dragon egg was unable to absorb energy from his stomach, and instead, it would constantly lose energy. Now that it was ramming into him, it would only cause the energy in its body to drain even faster.
Every time it used up a bit of its own energy, it would decrease by a bit. When it ran out of energy one day, Lin Xuan would be able to grind its eggshell and completely digest it.
However, Lin Xuan's struggle with the dragon egg was destined to be a long process. It could take three to five months, or three to five years, or even thirty to fifty years …
Three days later, the frequency of the dragon egg's frenzy lessened, and it seemed to be gradually calming down.
Lin Xuan also stopped his closed-door cultivation. He shrunk his body to ten meters tall and walked out of the cultivation room with his belly bulging.
Shrinking his body to ten meters was already the limit of what he could do. If he continued to shrink, it would not be beneficial for digesting the dragon egg.
Outside, Wu Huan and a few other higher-ups of the Dark Shadow Palace were waiting at the door. When they raised their heads and saw Lin Xuan, this ten-meter-tall giant in majestic battle armor, walk out, they could not help but be dumbfounded. Then, they hurriedly knelt on one knee to welcome him.
"Welcome back, Sect Master!"
"Get up."
Lin Xuan said indifferently.
Bang!
At this moment, a violent tremor came from Lin Xuan's body, spreading to the ground beneath his feet.
Not far away, Wu Huan and the others only felt the ground beneath their feet shake violently. Caught off guard, they were actually shaken to the point that they swayed left and right, and were in an extremely sorry state.
They hurriedly got up and knelt properly, thinking that this was Lin Xuan's test for them. They all looked at each other, feeling very nervous.
Lin Xuan snickered inwardly and ordered indifferently, "Get up."
"Thank you, Sect Master."
Wu Huan and the others stood up and respectfully stood at the side.
Lin Xuan focused his gaze on Wu Huan. He discovered that after not seeing him for half a year, this fellow had already cultivated to the peak of the middle stage of the Heavenly Transformation Realm. This speed could be considered extremely astonishing.
Although he was far from being on par with him, his talent could still be ranked in the top ten of the Taiyi Sect. He still had a high chance of reaching the Transcendent Realm within fifty years.
However, with Wu Huan's strength, it was still slightly insufficient for him to control the entire Dark Shadow Palace.
In fact, it was not just Wu Huan. Yan Hui, Mu Qingxue, Li Qiushui, Tie Lie, Lin Fan, and the others, although they were all cultivation geniuses with outstanding talent and great martial fortune, they had cultivated for too short a time and were still in the Heavenly Transformation Realm.
They had followed Lin Xuan for the longest time and were deeply trusted by Lin Xuan. Every one of them had to hold a high position.
However, the Taiyi Sect's reputation had been greatly boosted, and its reputation had spread far and wide. In particular, the several major movements in Qiannan had made them even more famous. They had already attracted more and more experts of the martial world to join them, and there was no lack of Transcendent Realm itinerant cultivators among them.
In comparison, it was a little awkward for Yan Hui, Li Qiushui, and the others to hold a high position with their Heavenly Transformation Realm cultivation.
It might be fine in the short term, but as time passed, those who came later would definitely become dissatisfied and cause some trouble.
As the head of the Taiyi Sect, Lin Xuan had to plan for these problems early.
This problem was actually not difficult to solve.
He now controlled the Blackwater Alliance's Tower of Time. In the future, as long as he opened it to the upper echelons of the various palaces, he believed that in a few years, Yan Hui and the others might reach the Transcendent Realm.
After all, cultivating on the second floor of the Tower of Time for a year was equivalent to cultivating outside for a hundred years.
As for cultivation resources, this was not a problem for the current Taiyi Sect at all.
As long as they controlled the sixty-one prefectures of Qiannan, all the resources would be offered to the Taiyi Sect. It would be a piece of cake for them to accumulate a group of Transcendent Realm experts.
"Wu Huan, do you have any news about the Dragons clan?" Lin Xuan asked.
Wu Huan said respectfully, "Head, I'm here to report to you about the Dragons clan's movements.
According to the spies in the Northern Wilderness, the Dragons clan suddenly began to gather a group of dragons the day before yesterday. They formed an army of over a hundred thousand dragons and have already left the wasteland of the Dragon World, marching toward the south. It looks like they're preparing to attack the human kingdoms at the edge of the Northern Wilderness to expand the Dragons clan's territory.
"In this army of Dragons, there are over a thousand pure-blooded Dragons, and the rest are Draconic Dragons. Among them, there are a large number of powerhouses at Level Four and above. They can be said to be aggressive.
"Right now, the Northern Wilderness is filled with flames of war. The vassal kingdoms at the edge of the Northern Wilderness have begun to ask for help from the various factions of Middle Earth …"
Lin Xuan listened to Wu Huan's report and narrowed his eyes slightly.
If there were no accidents, this army of Dragons clan probably didn't want to attack the human territories at the edge of the Northern Wilderness. Instead, they wanted to go deep into Middle Earth and obtain the Dragon Emperor's Golden Book.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Wu Huan, prepare the Teleportation Portal. I'm going to the Northern Wilderness."
"Head, we have a total of three Teleportation Portals to the Northern Wilderness. They go to Que State, Summer State, and Wu State respectively. Which State do you want to go to?" Wu Huan asked.
"Let's go to Que State!" Lin Xuan said.
"Yes, I'll go prepare it now."
Wu Huan bowed and left.
A Teleportation Portal that could travel millions of miles was a long-distance Teleportation Portal. Some preparation work was needed every time it was activated.
An hour later, the Teleportation Portal was ready. Lin Xuan's ten-meter-tall figure walked into the Teleportation Portal and disappeared under the respectful gazes of many Taiyi Sect members.
Que State, Northern Wilderness.
This used to be the fief of the Spirit King. It was one of the most prosperous prefectures in the Northern Wilderness.
But now, Que State was deserted. Ferocious beasts were everywhere, and countless sub- Dragons were hidden in it. It was like a barren land. The human race had already gone extinct.
Thousands of meters underground, there was a huge Teleportation Portal with a 100-meter-wide Teleportation Portal. Dozens of Saint Lotus Sect members stood guard around it day and night.
With a flash of light, Lin Xuan's figure appeared.
Seeing Lin Xuan arrive, the guards all bowed respectfully. They looked at Lin Xuan with curiosity and awe.
Lin Xuan didn't linger. He used the Underground Movement Technique and immediately burrowed into the ground, disappearing before everyone's eyes.
The next moment, he came to the surface.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh as he felt the violent and mixed Primordial Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Northern Wilderness and looked at the Ferocious Beasts and Dragons roaming the ancient forests.
More than a decade ago, Que State had a large population. Martial arts had flourished, and trade had flourished. Many thousand-year-old families had been born here.
But when the Dragons clan came, countless cities in Que State had been burned to the ground. Humans had either died or fled. The vast Que State had become a paradise for Ferocious Beasts and Dragons. There were almost no traces of human civilization left.
Roar!
There was a fierce roar, followed by a rumbling of the earth.
