Chapter 359 - 198: Secrets of the Thousand Year Grass [Subscription Requested]
Shock!
How dare the Dragon Transformation Sect commit such an act!
It is an outrage to all! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Zhou Chun, after hearing the secrets revealed by Lu Ran, also had his complexion drastically change, his face full of shock and anger.
This was far more infuriating than hearing a few years ago that the Dragon Transformation Sect had simply allied with the Flood Dragon Clan, becoming a vassal to the Flood Dragons. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
Even the Corpse Demon Sect, which refined its own sect ancestors into refined corpses, did not provoke as much fury as the actions of the Dragon Transformation Sect.
After all, those who joined the Corpse Demon Sect did so knowing the sect’s tradition of this rule.
If they truly didn’t wish to do so, they could have chosen to end their own lives, employing numerous methods to prevent becoming a refined corpse after death.
But the Dragon Transformation Sect’s practice of feeding humans to monsters was a forced compulsion, and it was even funding the enemies of the human clan!
As bad as the Corpse Demon Sect might be, they were still a legitimate human clan force, dedicated to protecting the interests of the human clan.
Whereas the Dragon Transformation Sect was nothing but a complete traitor to humanity, a crazed and wicked demon!
"So did your master choose death over becoming nourishment for that high-ranked tier-four Red Fire Flood Dragon because he was unwilling to do so?" Zhou Chun asked Lu Ran, his face as dark as water.
From what he had initially heard from Lu Ran about the scandal of the Dragon Transformation Sect’s Red Dragon Hall, he had been curious as to why that Great Elder had made such a resolute decision.
Now he finally knew the answer!
Indeed, Lu Ran nodded slightly and said with a heavy tone, "Yes, my master simply could not bear the thought that his millennium of hard cultivation would become mere fodder for a beast, so he chose to perish alongside it!"
He then sighed deeply, "To think, my master was a peerless genius, reaching the late Golden Core Stage at just over seven hundred years old, with hopes of Nascent Soul Formation!"
"But just because that Red Fire Flood Dragon was also at a critical breakthrough, the Sect Leader of the Dragon Transformation Sect and several Vice Sect Hierarchs made the decision to sacrifice my master to achieve the beast’s advancement!"
"It’s so lamentable and ludicrous, absolutely lamentable and ludicrous!"
His words were filled with indignation and sorrow.
Hearing this, Zhou Chun showed a slight reaction, deeply moved.
From Lu Ran’s words alone, he could imagine the plight of that Great Elder of the Red Dragon Hall.
After laboriously cultivating for eight hundred years, on the verge of stepping into the Nascent Soul Stage—the highest realm that almost all cultivators could aspire to—
He learned that he was nothing but a "human pill," a mere nutrient for the sect leaders and the Flood Dragon Clan to cultivate a beast.
What a tremendous blow that must have been!
Zhou Chun asked himself if he were in the same position, he might be capable of anything!
But then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he abruptly asked, "Then why didn’t your master spread the news? If the message got out, wouldn’t the other Elders and protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect rise up in revolt?"
"Impossible!"
"After the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Hierarchs made the decision to sacrifice my master, they had a Vice Sect Hierarch confine him. He had no chance to spread the word!"
"Had my master not sensed something amiss beforehand and left a secret technique clone with me, I would never have learned of this," Lu Ran said, shaking his head.
"Moreover, even if those Elders and protectors were informed, it wouldn’t be as effective as you think. Many of them don’t have enough potential to be used as nourishment for the transformation of a fourth-tier Flood Dragon into the fifth tier, and they don’t need to worry about it until their life is at its end!"
"Besides, even if they knew, what could they do? Bound by the Dragon Soul Seed, openly rebelling against the sect means seeking their own death!"
Better to live badly than to die nobly!
For those of the Dragon Transformation Sect who were implanted with the "Dragon Soul Seed," even if they knew they might be fed to a Flood Dragon as nourishment for its breakthrough, only a few would dare to stand up and revolt immediately.
Thus, what Lu Ran said was not unreasonable.
However, Zhou Chun knew that even if revealing this matter wouldn’t lead the Elders and protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect to rebel, it could certainly sow discord among them, ensuring they could no longer be wholeheartedly loyal to the sect!
Therefore, the mere revelation of this information was as significant as having ten more Golden Core Stage cultivators on Jingguo’s side.
"Senior Lu, this information is indeed vitally important. If true, it could give us a great chance to overturn the Dragon Transformation Sect!" Zhou Chun said, nodding his head repeatedly, quite satisfied with the secret Lu Ran had revealed.
Then he reached into his Storage Pouch, took out a jade slip, and handed it to Lu Ran.
"This jade slip contains a method to help Senior Lu resolve the risk of losing control. Please have a look, and if you think it’s feasible, we can proceed with the next part of the transaction."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran eagerly took the jade slip and started to examine it.
After Zhou Chun had waited for almost two hours, Lu Ran finally looked up and nodded, "Although I haven’t tested it personally, it seems there is no flaw in it. It’s worth a try!"
Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately responded, "I have some Elixirs prepared by Master Qingwei for Senior Lu to help suppress the risk of a breakout. Does Senior Lu have any more secrets about the Dragon Transformation Sect to exchange?"
"Of course, I do!"
Lu Ran’s eyes brightened as he immediately disclosed another secret.
"Although my master perished, he thereby learned how the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Hierarchs of the Dragon Transformation Sect came into power."
