284 Delivery Mission (1/2)
In the mountains, by the river.
Elemental force surged around in Ruan Junxian's hands and he could control it like his limbs.
”I have finally achieved the realm of Wu Zong!”
There were mixed expressions on his face. ”If I had achieved the breakthrough earlier, I can become the protector of the mountains. By then, if they want to chase me out, they will still need the approval from 70 percent of the elders and the approval of the sect head... With this, I have a chance to stay and things wouldn't escalate to this stage... What a pity!”
However, Ruan Junxian was not confident of breaking through to Wu Zong if not for the happenings and his fluctuating emotions.
”Regardless, it is rare to harness elemental force. If I join the Imperial Court of Da Qian, I can become an official and might even have special treatment since I am young. I would think that I would be conferred the appointment of an Eagle Lieutenant...”
As a person coming from an influential family, Ruan Junxian was extremely familiar with the hierarchy. ”However, after entering the military, I would be bounded by more restrictions...”
His largest obstacle was Fang Yuan; like a humongous mountain, Fang Yuan was a shadow in his mind.
”That high-tiered dream master is likely to have overlooked me. Therefore, the Ruan Family can still survive... As the Young master, the only thing I can do for the family is to search for a strong backing for the family!”
Ruan Junxian's eyes were burning with passion. ”The best would be for me to become a dream master myself and subsequently join the 5 powerful organisations. If that were to happen, the Ruan Family would become the most powerful family in the Victorious East Region!”
He knew that the world was unfair and only dream masters belonged to the higher levels of cultivation world.
Any influential family would surely have a powerful dream master to back them up.
If any family wanted to become more powerful, they would have to spend fortunes trying to train a dream master from their family before they could progress to have the rights to fight with other families.
Furthermore, even the Imperial Court had employed a large number of dream masters known as the 'Hidden Dragon Guards'. Otherwise, they could not have ruled over the 99 regions so smoothy.
”Now that my magical abilities have been improved, I can start to cultivate in spiritual spells. However, I am still a little short in becoming a dream master...”
There was a look of depression on Ruan Junxian's face.
A dream master was not only unparalleled in fights, they could create life and was the number 1 profession. Unfortunately, the requirements to become a dream master was too high and it was too hard.
However, all hope was not lost.
For instance... a few natural treasures were rumoured to be able to strengthen the foundation of a Wu Zong and initiate the path to become a dream master.
”Forget it... After all, there are a few Meridian Opening Elders at home maintaining peace and order. There is no need for my presence at home. Why not explore the lands in search of opportunities? I can strengthen myself at the same time!”
Ruan Junxian came to a decision. Looking back at Thousand Year Mountain for one last time, he turned around and walked away.
The world was ever-changing and even a dream future master would not be able to accurately predict the future with complete certainty.
Even as an ant, he had to strengthen himself and believe that he will become powerful one day!
...
”Fang Yuan, how are you feeling?”
A fiery dragon flew around and roared. Mingling in the skies, it was like a deity.
On its back, Elder Smelter looked at Fang Yuan.
”Impressive!”
Fang Yuan sighed softly.
Below them was a small city.
The Fiery Dragon had spirituality and was playful. As it peered through the clouds and revealed its claws, the city dwellers started to panic and hide like ants.
A spiritual light started to glow on the city walls and in the government office, and many archers readied their bows.
”Haha!”
Elder Smelter was overjoyed. ”That's right... This is the majestic power!”
He pointed at the people at laughed. ”We dream masters are equivalent to gods in the ancient times! How would mortals ever understand our power?”
”The few of you, don't go too overboard! Although the Da Qian is ordinary, it would be troublesome if the 'Hidden Dragon Guards' were to come!”
Elder Smelter had a proud look as he commented, but his face twitched the moment he mentioned the 'Hidden Dragon Guards'
”Oh? Please explain to me, Elder! How does the Hidden Dragon Guards compare with the Realm Alliance?”
Fang Yuan became interested.
”Hmph! Just a few lackeys that depend on the humans for survival. How can they compare to the Realm Alliance? If you see any Hidden Dragon Guard, just kill them!”
”If not for them, hehe... I'm afraid that the Imperial Court would be destroyed by the crazy people from Source Seeking Sect!”
Elder Smelter looked away; it was evident that he did want to continue with this topic.
As for Fang Yuan, he was deep in thought.
”To keep two evil sects and one crazy sect at bay must mean that the Hidden Dragon Guards are rather powerful! They might be on par with the 5 powerful organisations. Since they have the support of the Imperial Court, they should be quite powerful! But... What made the Source Seeking Sect go against the Imperial Court?”
As he thought about it, he subconsciously spoke his mind.
”Hehe... There's nothing surprising as to what that bunch of crazy people can do!”
