Chapter 1409
Chen Xuan was very interested in the various anecdotes, secrets, and other miscellaneous information about this great world. In the past, Elder Long was just an old mortal, frail and with limited energy, and could not study the books that Chen Xuan brought back all night.
But since becoming a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he has experienced a second spring, transforming himself from an old man with gray hair and beard into a middle-aged man – a leap in life level, and returning to youth is inevitable.
That's how Elder Long found out what treasure Xuan Shuize truly desired.
Faced with a leaf of the Enlightenment Treasure Tree and a divine fruit that could change the bloodline of his ancestors, Xuan Shuize smiled wryly and looked at Elder Long, saying, "If you take out these two things, you've got me cornered."
To this, Elder Long simply smiled and remained silent.
"Very well, although my demon race has a lifespan far exceeding that of human cultivators, our comprehension of the Dao is far inferior to that of the human race... not to mention the supreme treasures that can purify bloodlines."
After speaking, Xuan Shuize slowly raised his right hand, his expression solemn and formal, and said, "I, Xuan Shuize, swear by the Heavenly Dao that from this day forward, I join the Longxia Clan, united in heart and mind, never to betray them. The Heavenly Dao bears witness; if I break this oath, may I die and my soul perish, never to be reborn!"
Whoosh—
As Xuan Shuize finished speaking, a unique fluctuation belonging to the Heavenly Dao appeared and then enveloped him. With the oath recognized by the Heavenly Dao, Elder Long finally smiled and felt relieved—in this way, Xuan Shuize was qualified to know about Chen Xuan and the current grand plan of the Longxia clan.
"Congratulations on joining the Longxia clan family. You can rest assured that no matter how weak Longxia is now, or how powerful Longxia will rise in the future, our clan will not regard you as an outsider and ostracize you." The Longxia clan's civilization is incredibly inclusive. Although "those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts," who can blame them when this world has its own Heavenly Dao? This is far more real than any oath.
"Xuan Shuize pays respects to the clan leader." After taking the oath, Xuan Shuize straightened his posture and immediately bowed to Elder Long in a very formal manner.
Elder Long smiled and handed over the leaves of the Enlightenment Tree and the True Blood Divine Fruit that were floating in his hand. "Thank you for the reward, Clan Chief."
When Xuan Shuize touched the two treasures, his hands trembled, clearly feeling a sense of unreality—he had obtained such legendary treasures so easily?
And the price is simply to be integrated into the Longxia clan?
If other powerful demons found out about this, they would probably fight tooth and nail to join in.
What Elder Long presented was enough to make a Nascent Soul Realm demon a slave. "No need for that. From now on, we will treat each other as before." Elder Long smiled, then solemnly took out a letter and handed it to Xuan Shuize.
Xuan Shuize took the letter with a puzzled look, unfolded it, and read it carefully. "What? The Immortal Fate Gathering, first place, bestowed with a fiefdom and the title of king, what is the Pure Yang Method? What is the Dragon Transformation Pool? My god, the Xuanxiao royal family's Daoist Scripture Hall, accumulated over countless years, allows you to choose any great divine power... and there are also 50 million catties of Origin Liquid?"
When Xuan Shuize saw the first prize of the Immortal Destiny Tournament, his eyes turned red. If he hadn't already been in the Nascent Soul Realm for over three hundred years, he would have wanted to participate in this grand event.
"Seven years ago, Xiao Xuan wrote to me and told me that he would win first place in the Immortal Fate Gathering, which prompted my Longxia clan to prepare and manage talents comparable to those in the Qingtian County territory."
When Elder Long spoke of this, he looked troubled and said, “Qushan alone covers an area of 100,000 li and has a population of countless. According to the various mixed information that Xiao Xuan brought back, there are no fewer than 3,000 places in Qingtian County that are similar to Qushan. Such a vast territory needs to be governed. I… I really feel the pressure.”
That's really the case.
In its previous life, the territory of Blue Star Dragon Xia, including its mountains, rivers, lakes, and deserts, was still less than one-third the size of Zelin Sea.
Suddenly having to govern a fiefdom, Elder Long had spent the last seven years of his life worrying about this matter, constantly researching and overturning countless plans in his mind.
