Chapter 598 200 Mr. Lee Requests to Add as a Friend..._4
"Hmm, the relationships between Human Clan Cultivators don't really translate well to the Demon Clan..."
"Speaking of which, I remember Miss You mentioned something about a dragon..."
"I also encountered a dragon during the Heavenly Pride battle..."
Wang Mu looked at the grand map of Xilu Land, filled with numerous extraordinary mountains and sights.
Unlike Li State, there was no struggle over dynasties here. Instead, numerous races stood atop various mountains. Relatively speaking, it was quite peaceful.
With less contention, traveling here was naturally much more comfortable.
"As usual, let's head to the Workshop to see if there are any local rumors..."
"The cities in Li State, under the control of dynasties, are too heavily targeted by various powers..."
Returning to the normal Cultivation World, Wang Mu inquired at a Workshop here about any rumors concerning access to the Dongling Sea Dragon Palace.
In Xilu, where he had no personal connections, Workshop rumors were his best source of information.
"Rumors? We in Xilu have plenty of those these days."
The Workshop vendor, clad in a fluffy coat, was accompanied by a dog completely covered in white fur.
It was a Beast Pet special to this region of Xilu, an Ice Plain Wolf.
"I'm all ears," said Wang Mu.
These well-traveled, low-ranking cultivators of the Cultivation World, though their Cultivation wasn't high, were indeed among the many spectators for countless major events.
For many major events within the region, they could always get the latest gossip first-hand and then quickly spread the news. They were quite impressive.
"The most recent? Naturally, it's the news that the Red Marriage Fruit on Donglai Mountain is said to be ripening soon..."
The Servant snickered, "Cultivators looking to improve their romantic fortunes have mostly been gathering at Donglai Mountain..."
"Skip that one," Wang Mu waved his hand.
"It seems this Cultivator's romantic fortunes are quite abundant, for you to be completely uninterested?"
Why would I be interested? I have so many already, Wang Mu thought.
"Second, many Demon Cultivators have come to our Xilu recently..." the Servant shook his head. "These Demon Cultivators from Yuanhai Hall have been sneaking around our Xilu border region. I don't know what they're up to, and furthermore..."
"Moreover, rumor has it that the Demon Lord of Yuanhai Hall has also been revived, right here in our Xilu Land! Something big is definitely going to happen soon!"
He'd heard about this too. The Demon Lord... Shuo Wuji, wasn't it? Piao Miaoxu's number one underling back then. Also the underling who chickened out before the great battle. He must have been revived by Piao Miaoxu... I wonder how she managed that?
"Third, in the northwestern Yujing Snow Mountain, rumor has it there's a celestial light covering its peak, probably a sign of an Exotic Treasure emerging..." said the Servant. "However, many formidable Cultivators from our Xilu Land have already gathered there. If you go now, you'll only be a spectator."
"Our Ascension Experts from Xilu Land, one of the world's few New Sect Ascension adherents, Zhao Feixue, also known as the 'Snow Mountain Heavenly Immortal,' is also among them. He's the Cultivator in our Xilu Land with the greatest hope of achieving true immortality soon!"
New Sect Ascension... that must refer to those who have achieved Ascension in recent years, Wang Mu mused.
Wang Mu nodded repeatedly, very impressed.
"Fourth, in the Ancient Snow Forest to the southeast, there's a grand hunting meet for ancient Exotic Beasts being held recently," the Servant continued. "The Ancient Snow Forest is one of the most treacherous and dangerous places in our Xilu Land. The Snow Miasma inside can kill a Golden Core expert in an instant, and the ancient Fierce Beasts within are incredibly terrifying—even Nascent Soul Cultivators would find them hard to overcome."
"This hunting meet is organized by the Realm King Sect, with over ten Sects participating, along with countless Loose Cultivators. The highest Cultivation level among participants reaches Divinity Transformation."
"Rumor has it that an ancient Evil Beast has appeared in this snow forest. If one can hunt this beast, they will obtain the immense opportunity it guards—one that offers the hope of Ascension."
This rumor is a bit interesting, Wang Mu thought. Speaking of hunting, it's been a long time since I've done any. My Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation technique must be getting a bit rusty. That Little Thunder Spirit must be itching for some action; I haven't let it out to play in ages.
"The last rumor..." the Servant said mysteriously, "is about the Dongling Sea Dragon Palace..."
His heart skipped a beat. There really was a rumor about that place?
"Currently, the Dongling Sea Dragon Palace is hosting an event to recruit a son-in-law from across the seas," said the Servant. "It's said that the Third Princess of the Dongling Dragon Palace has come of age, and the Old Dragon King wishes to find a husband for his daughter. He has invited members of the Sea Clan from all over the Nine Provinces and Four Seas."
"This includes, but is not limited to, the Western Extreme Sea, Glazed Lake, Great Wilderness Fubo Spring, Bibo Sea... and more."
"But this rumor doesn't concern us Human Clan Cultivators, does it?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Who says it doesn't concern you?" the Servant retorted. "That Old Dragon King is very magnanimous. He has also extended invitations to the young heroes of our Human Clan to come to the Dragon Palace. This recruitment for a son-in-law is not limited to the Sea Clan, understand?"
As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar went through the surrounding Cultivators.
"Humans and dragons... that probably wouldn't work, would it?"
"Who says it won't work? I remember there's a Beast Taming Sect that can perform Dragon Control, can't they?"
"That's the Dongling Dragon Palace we're talking about! Do you think it's some wild dragon you can just tame? Trying that would be courting death!"
"What's so great about the Dragon Clan? Back when Immortal Bi You hadn't yet brought order to the Sea Clan, did you see these dragons managing the Four Seas? It was only after Immortal Bi You took action that these members of the Dragon Clan came scurrying out to occupy the Four Seas, under the fine-sounding pretext of 'assisting the Great Immortal in managing the sea regions.'"
"No matter what, the Dragon Clan is definitely stronger than us humans. The art of Dragon Control does exist... but this is about recruiting a son-in-law. It means marrying into their clan. It's not you performing Dragon Control; it's the dragon controlling you!"
"Actually, I just want to ask, what does the Third Princess look like?"
"I've heard she's quite ugly... otherwise, that Old Dragon King wouldn't have cast his net so wide as to include humans..."
