149: Give up the century-long competition and seize the opportunity of a thousand years

“The Dragon Clan’s Martial Arts Talent is indeed powerful, and it’s no wonder they could produce such a Prodigy Cultivator Family as my Junior Brother.

It seems my previous decision to propose moving the Dragon Clan to Dragon Peak was correct.

The Dragon Clan’s rise has not disappointed me!”

Ao Jingtain also released her Divine Sense to observe the situation within Dragon Peak, discovering that many within the Dragon Clan had rapidly improved their Cultivation Realm, with five even reaching the Mahayana Realm.

She couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Long Aotian turned to look at her: “When you decided to let the Dragon Clan relocate to Dragon Peak, was it because I am your Junior Brother?”

“Indeed!”

Ao Jingtain did not deny this point.

She had no familial ties with the Dragon Clan, so why should she let the Dragon Clan benefit from her Dragon Peak for free?

If not for Long Aotian, she wouldn’t even bother to learn about which obscure small Cultivation Family the Dragon Clan was from.

“Junior Brother thanks Senior Sister here!”

“Hmph, no sincerity!”

“…”

They chatted and laughed all the way.

Soon.

Long Aotian and Ao Jingtain arrived at the central plaza of Dragon Peak’s outer sect and summoned all Dragon Clan members for a meeting.

In less than half an hour, nearly two thousand Dragon Clan Disciples had all emerged from their seclusion and gathered.

Long Aotian and Ao Jingtain stood on the podium.

Below the podium, the Dragon Clan’s three Great Ancestors, Dragon War God, Dragon War Emperor, and Dragon War Sovereign, the Family’s Supreme Guardian, Long Shijie, the Clan Chief, Long Wudi, the Family Patriarch, Long Bubai, the Family Matriarch, Hua Buwan, and the Hua Family’s young miss, Hua Buqi, all stood in the first row.

These were the Dragon Clan’s current Peak combat strengths.

The second row consisted of the Ten Family Guardians from the Wu Generation.

The third row consisted of the Ten Family Elders from the Bu Generation.

The fourth row consisted of the Ten Family Disciples from the Ao Generation.

The fifth row consisted of the rest of the Family members, sorted by their Cultivation Realm.

After fourteen years of extensive seclusion, although Long Aotian had set a goal that the weakest Dragon Clan member should at least Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, there were still over a hundred Family Disciples with relatively poor Martial Arts Talent who remained in the Golden Core Realm.

Long Aotian was powerless to do anything about this.

He had already done his best to help them, providing top-grade Cultivation resources, excellent Cultivation environments, and Peak-tier Cultivation Techniques, yet fourteen years of seclusion still couldn’t enable them to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

This showed just how poor their Martial Arts Talent was; like an 'Ah Dou' who couldn’t be helped, Long Aotian naturally wouldn’t force it.

Out of nearly two thousand Dragon Clan members, it was normal for over a hundred not to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, which also indicated that the Dragon Clan’s Martial Arts Talent was still quite good overall.

In such a large Cultivation Family, there were bound to be some individuals with poorer Martial Arts Talent.

But ultimately, this was only a small fraction, less than a tenth of the total number, and it wouldn’t affect the Dragon Clan’s overall situation.

“The results achieved by our Dragon Clan during this extensive seclusion have been excellent! Including my aunt, the number of Mahayana Realm Experts has increased by five.

There are as many as fifty-six Spirit Division Realm Experts, five of whom are the Ten Family Disciples from the Ao Generation, which is very good!

As for the Family Disciples who Breakthrough to the Out-of-Body Realm? There are even more, over five hundred.

Of the remaining thousand-plus people, apart from the hundred-plus who are still in the Golden Core Realm, the rest have all Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm… Now, our Dragon Clan’s strength, compared to the Shi Family, one of the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City, is at least two or three times stronger.

We can be called the number one Cultivation Family under the Eternal Leaf Dynasty Imperial Family!

At this moment, we should feel proud!”

“Whoosh—”

Upon hearing Long Aotian’s summary, the nearly two thousand Dragon Clan Disciples in the plaza erupted into an uproar, their faces filled with shock and joy.

Of course, the other hundred-plus Disciples who had not Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm showed a slight hint of shame on their faces.

They had disgraced the Family.

They felt unworthy of the Young Lord’s nurturing.

“However, while we are happy, we must also remain clear-headed and understand that there are still many Cultivation forces in the world that can easily wipe out our Dragon Clan.

Leaving aside the distant ones, let’s talk about the nearby ones.

Although our Dragon Clan’s current strength has grown to become the number one Cultivation Family under the Eternal Leaf Dynasty Imperial Family, our strength is still far behind that of the Fire Cloud Sect, Sea Cloud Sect, and Thunder Cloud Sect, let alone being compared to behemoth Cultivation forces like the Imperial Family and Cloud Palace, which have more than one Tribulation Transcendence Realm Expert guarding them.

Therefore, our Dragon Clan’s overall strength is still very weak!”

“…”

Upon hearing this!

All the Dragon Clan Disciples fell silent again.

The Young Lord was right!

Although their Dragon Clan had achieved remarkable results after this extensive seclusion, there were still many Cultivation forces that could easily wipe out their Dragon Clan.

Just in the small Eastern Desolation alone, there were five forces capable of destroying them, let alone on the wider continent.

Their Dragon Clan was still very weak!

At the very least, they did not have a Tribulation Transcendence Realm Expert guarding them!

Pausing slightly, Long Aotian surveyed everyone and slowly spoke again: “The Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts is a very rare Opportunity!

Why?

Because the Heaven Ruins Millennium Grand Tournament of Martial Arts is held only once every thousand years, and it determines the quotas for entering the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm, which opens once every thousand years.

The Tribulation Dao Secret Realm, which opens once every thousand years, is a Cultivation Holy Land for Undergoing Tribulation.

Some Heaven-Defying Cultivators with Martial Arts Talent can Breakthrough from the Ninth Revolution Peak of the Mahayana Realm to the Late Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in just three short years!

Missing such a once-in-a-millennium Opportunity would make it very difficult to wait for the next one.

The purpose of calling this meeting today is to tell you that I hope everyone can forgo the Cloud Palace’s centennial grand competition and fully dedicate themselves to Cultivating, striving to raise their Cultivation as much as possible to the Mahayana Realm, and seize this Opportunity of the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm opening.

As long as everyone Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm, even if you are only in the Early Stage of the Mahayana Realm, I can still bring you into the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm.

Perhaps you might wonder, if I am only in the Early Stage of the Mahayana Realm, how can I Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?

Wouldn’t entering the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm be a waste of a quota?

Everyone, please do not forget that I can control the flow of time.

At least seven times the time flow rate; the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm opens for three years, and with seven times the time flow rate, that’s twenty-one years.

Isn’t twenty-one years enough time for you to Breakthrough from the Early Stage of the Mahayana Realm to the Ninth Revolution Peak Stage of the Mahayana Realm, and then comprehend the Profound Truth of the Dao and the Laws of Heaven and Earth within the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm?

Therefore, any member of our Dragon Clan whose Cultivation Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm has the Opportunity to enter the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm and the Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm within three years.

Whether or not to contend for this once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity, everyone should think carefully… Not just the Mahayana Realm, the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm does not explicitly prohibit Spirit Division Realm Cultivators from entering.

While other Spirit Division Realm Cultivators might be wasting a quota by entering, we are different; we have the seven-times time flow rate blessing.

Our Dragon Clan’s Spirit Division Realm Experts entering the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm will have at least twenty-one years of Cultivation time, and they too will have the Opportunity to challenge the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!

Therefore, I hope everyone can forgo the Cloud Palace’s centennial grand competition, seize every minute and second to improve their Cultivation Realm, and strive to grasp this once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity of the Tribulation Dao Secret Realm opening!”
