Chapter 1517: Chapter 1517
There are too many "Treasures Choosing Their Master" legends and stories in the Eight Desolations World, and the protagonists of these stories happen to be the young and penniless cultivators. So, deep in the hearts of these four cultivators in front of Master Sun and Little Princess, they are full of expectations, and every day they secretly indulge in the fantasy of being favored by the Divine Beast Azure Dragon, then leaping to become the number one protector in Central State, with dozens of countries all paying tribute to their bright future!
In this beautiful process, if there’s a stunning Dao companion by their side, it’s even more perfect.
In the eyes of these four, both Master Sun and his younger sister are in the Fourth Great Realm. However, Master Sun, the "Elder Brother," is older and has a limited future. In contrast, Princess Amelia undoubtedly has a brighter future, and her lovely appearance and character make her an ideal candidate for a "Dao Companion."
If Master Sun knew that he was already considered a "middle-aged cultivator" in the eyes of these fellows, he would find it quite amusing. Master Sun has just turned 21 this year, and the youngest of these four is already 24 years old.
However, Master Sun has held high positions in recent years, naturally revealing a calm and composed demeanor in front of others, making him appear older.
As they set off together, Master Sun quickly learned the origins of these four, who were all descendants of cultivation aristocracy, and they had been strictly brought up since childhood. It was unexpected that they would meet a girl on the road and, like peacocks competing for a mate, desperately show off and display themselves.
Master Sun secretly asked the Little Princess, "Did you cast some kind of enchanting charm on them?" The Little Princess shook her head smugly, "No, I’m just naturally beautiful, and there’s no need for enchanting charms to gild the lily."
But Master Sun, seeing her shake her head and neck like that, always had a déjà vu feeling of a fighting rooster poking its head around. Is this being "naturally beautiful"? Ha ha. Master Sun suddenly slapped his forehead, "I see, this is the innate admiration for strength that all creatures have. Although they don’t know your true realm, your overwhelming strength still silently impacts them."
The Little Princess, who had been holding up her arms proudly, drooped and lost her enthusiasm, "Doesn’t my brother believe that this is my charm?"
Master Sun didn’t care at all. On the way, the four young cultivators were attentive to Princess Amelia, taking care of her every need. Master Sun was jealous, so he cleverly hinted to these fools: Our family elders have passed away, and all we have left are our siblings to depend on for life.
The four noble family descendants immediately understood: Now it was a situation where the elder brother acted like a father. The marriage of their younger sister would be determined by this "Elder Brother Sun"!
"Elder Brother, the Eight Flavors Tower in the Copper Xiang City is one of the four famous buildings in our Douglas Country. Their ’Nine Plates Eight Bowls’ banquet is world-famous. Today, your little brother will host a meal for you and your little sister to taste."
"Elder Brother travels every day and must be exhausted. The famous hot springs in Immortal Sleep Mountain are nearby. My family has several properties in the mountains. Let’s go and soak in the hot springs to relieve our fatigue."
"This is a collection of senior cultivators’ notes that I’ve gathered over the years, presenting it to Elder Brother to aid in his cultivation."
"Elder Brother, ahead is the production place of our Douglas Country’s famous ’Gossamer Silk.’ Let’s go and take a look and have some clothes made for you and your little sister."
"My family has a fantastic relationship with several high-ranking artificers. If Elder Brother has any needs, please don’t hesitate to ask. I will arrange everything properly for you and not be too polite with me..."
Master Sun was all smiles as he enjoyed being served and pampered all the way. This feeling was different from when he was in the Summit Metropolitan Office, being served by his subordinates, because this was a true "freeloader" happiness—those who understand can’t help but indulge in it.
For a journey of over two thousand miles—among the four cultivators, the one named Steven Brown first hired two Flying Teng carriages, then Fitch spent twice the price to get two Mechanical Flying Vehicles, and then Neil Kingsley spent four times the price to get six Tier-6 Flying Demonic Beasts!
In the end, the cultivator named Logan Hardy saw that his impression score in the minds of his cousins was quickly falling behind, so he stomped his feet and clenched his teeth in defeat, spending a fortune to hire a Tier-6 Flying Demonic Beast called the "Silver Bat"!
This kind of Demonic Beast had a wingspan of more than 30 meters, and it flew at an incredibly fast and steady speed. It was driven by a Tier-6 Grandmaster, so the remaining journey of over a thousand miles took only a little over a Shichen (2 hours), and they arrived outside the Black Dragon Valley.
When the Elder Brother got off the Silver Bat, he patted Logan Hardy on his shoulder and praised, "Thanks to you, we saved a few days on the road." Logan Hardy immediately straightened his back, feeling like he was leading the way in the battle for Dao companionship.
However, Black Dragon Valley was a vast Extinction Domain, and every Extinction Domain in Central State was an essential "strategic resource." Douglas Country even had a specialized Reclamation Legion responsible for collecting the cultivation materials in each Extinction Domain.
There were as many as four thousand troops stationed in the Black Dragon Valley Extinction Domain, and the area was heavily guarded. Now, because of the rumors, two Protectors and four Seventh Realm experts had arrived, bringing with them tens of thousands of Cultivation Army soldiers—these were the elites of Douglas Country, and their combat power far exceeded that of the Reclamation Legion.
As a result, heavy forces guarded both the inside and outside of each entrance to the Black Dragon Valley Extinction Domain, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.
