Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 349 The "Good-natured God" Tai Shui Dragon King

"Dragon clan..."

Fang Xianyu, who saw the messages reported by the two players at the same time, stared at the string of meaningless words, deep in thought.

Resurrection? Dragon Clan? Sword Sect? What is the connection between these three? And what do those words like "Run!" and "Kill me!" mean?
Just as she was completely confused, the two players suddenly reported a new piece of information that sparked an idea in her mind.

"Report! There's one more thing. This unknown target is definitely not speaking Middle-earth, and it doesn't even sound like a human language. It sounds more like the roar of some kind of animal. It's very likely that the game's built-in translation is inaccurate!"

"Let's report this to Baili Shuang as well; it might be useful?"

"Makes sense!"

As the two were talking, Fang Xianyu, who had already seen the sentence without waiting for their report, began to pace excitedly back and forth in her room.

"Like the roar of some kind of animal"—she recognized the description immediately; it was clearly dragon language!

Dragon language is the language of dragons, but it is not commonly used. It is more like a language used by dragons with low cultivation or insufficient power to communicate with each other, and it is often used in conjunction with body language.

The various dragons and divine dragons that have already achieved cultivation, can transform into human form, or even attain enlightenment, all use human language and do not use dragon language at all!
To put it more bluntly, the ancient god Yinglong does not use dragon language!
Only later-born dragons, especially those that are immature or have very low cultivation levels, use dragon language!

No wonder! No wonder that in that pile of unconscious text, players were directed to "find the dragons"!
It turns out that they weren't going to the "Sword Sect" to find the dragons, but rather to the real "Dragon Palace" in the Guixu Realm to find the dragons!

Thinking of this, Fang Xianyu didn't delay any longer. He immediately controlled Baili Shuang's alias to leave Taiyin Sect and hung a sign that read "NPC temporarily away" at the office door before leaving.

……

The dragons live on an island called Kunlun Hill and in the surrounding seas, a place that is perpetually shrouded in lightning and thunder, making it difficult to venture there.

Kunlun Hill is one of the three islands among the ten continents and three islands of the Guixu Realm.

The ten continents and three islands of the Guixu Realm constitute almost all known landmasses. The ten continents are Zhongzhou, Tianyingzhou, Wankuzhou, Xuanzhou, Liuzhou, Wuzhizhou, Baishanzhou, Changzhou, Yanzhou, and Dahuangzhou. The three islands are Penglai Island, Fanghu Mountain, and Kunlun Hill.

Among them, the three islands are relatively small in size, so they are basically dominated by one force. For example, Penglai Island is exclusively occupied by Penglai Sect, while Fanghu Mountain is dominated by Fulu Shou Merchant Guild. Kunlun Hill is slightly different. Although everyone knows that the dragon race lives there, there are also many demon cultivators and small, scattered forces. There is even a human sect called Tai Mao Sect.

This sect differs from other human sects, cultivating beast-taming techniques. The Tai Mao beast-taming method, in particular, is entirely different from other beast-taming schools across the Ten Continents and Three Islands. Tai Mao sect cultivators emphasize sharing life and death with their contracted beasts, strictly prohibiting slave contracts, a stark contrast to other beast-taming schools' pursuit of controlling the beasts' lives and enslaving them. Therefore, the Tai Mao sect has almost no contact with other sects, only occasionally leaving Kunlun Hill to make contact with the Fu Lu Shou Merchant Guild. Of course, the reason the Tai Mao sect can be so aloof is because it is located in Kunlun Hill, naturally protected by the dragon race, allowing it to be so carefree—the ring of heavenly lightning beyond Kunlun Hill and its surrounding seas is not easy to traverse; even Fang Xianyu could only rely on system energy points to withstand it, while ordinary cultivators were completely helpless.

However, since system energy points are so precious, they should be used as little as possible. Therefore, Fang Xianyu, controlling Baili Shuang's alias, planned to go to the Tai Shui Dragon Palace first.

The Tai River is the most important and longest river in Zhongzhou, hence the name "Tai". Its river god is the Tai River Dragon King, an old hermit who has been enlightened for a long time... no, he should be called an old hermit dragon.

This old dragon has a wife and children, and is known as a "kind old god." Basically, as long as someone asks him for rain under the pretext of farming, he will help them. Therefore, all the sects in the Central Continent enshrine his rank and title.

Although he was a "good old god," he was also a true homebody. In the more than one hundred years that Fang Xianyu experienced in his previous life, including the many years after he attained the Dao of Taiyin and was adored by all the immortals and gods, he only saw him once. That was because Fang Xianyu took a fancy to the "colored crystal glass" that Fang Xianyu had developed when he established Zhongzhou City and wanted to buy a batch to decorate the Dragon Palace...

Apart from that, he never showed up at any gathering of immortals or gods, or at any discussion about handling matters concerning the Guixu Sea and the Nine Netherworld. He only occasionally sent his dragon sons and daughters out to visit twice.

However, that one and only interaction made Fang Xianyu realize that the Tai Shui Dragon King was indeed an easy-going god, which is why he decided to ask him to take him to Kunlun Hill to find the Dragon Clan.

After all, although Kunlun Hill and its surrounding area are the main habitat of the dragons, the dragons are a very strange race; they do not form a "society" based on race.

In their social structure, there are no clans, no countries, no cities, and if you have to say, not even tribes. Instead, they live scattered in family units and by blood ties.

Most dragons prefer to live alone, though some may prefer to live with their parents or elders. However, they rarely coexist with dragons unrelated by blood, and different species of dragons often look down on each other. For example, the Yinglong looks down on the Jiaolong for its small size, the Jiaolong looks down on the Chilong for its lack of horns, the Chilong looks down on the Zhulong for its ugly scales, and the Zhulong looks down on other dragons for their inability to naturally transform into human form. The hierarchy of contempt among different types of dragons is so chaotic that it's impossible to discern the difference.

In short, because different types of dragons don't get along well with each other, the dragon race has the worst cohesion, so it's understandable that they live scattered.

Of course, this does not mean that the dragon race is completely disorganized. They also have their own "patriarchs", generally called Dragon Kings, who are the most senior dragons among the different species. For example, the most senior Yinglong is called "Yinglong King", which is different from the honorific title of "Taishui Dragon King".

Moreover, if something really happens, these Dragon Kings do have some authority and can command the dragons in their own clans. For example, guarding the Five-Colored Array at Guixu Pass and clearing away the stagnation in the Five-Colored Array are tasks that the various Dragon Kings take turns sending dragons to do.

However, this situation is ultimately a special case. Most of the time, the dragons live a life without interacting with each other. This is a real problem for Fang Xianyu. What if she manages to escape the heavenly lightning at sea and goes to Kunlun Hill but can't find anyone who can become the leader of the dragon clan? Wouldn't that be a waste of her time?

Therefore, finding a reliable guide in advance is the safest approach.

Thinking this, Fang Xianyu tossed the two baskets of freshly made glass crafts she was carrying—which she had just obtained from the Shennong Glass Factory in Chang'an City under the guise of gaining favor with the players—and confidently flew towards the Taishui Dragon Palace.
