Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1011: Chapter 1010: When Will Others Come to Challenge?

The defeat of Xiuji and Gongsun Ze led to the entire group of over a hundred people they brought with them joining the Phoenix Sect.

The addition of these hundred-plus individuals greatly delighted Su Han.

Each one possessed talents far exceeding that of ordinary people, and none were over forty years old, with the majority being between twenty and thirty years of age.

At such an age, having reached the Dragon God Realm, their talent was evident.

This was achieved through the cultivation method given by the Eastern Ancestor and the Northern Ancestor. If Su Han were to guide them, he could open up more Dragon Veins, leading to greater insights across various realms. Even at their current realm, under Su Han’s guidance and with the cultivation techniques he offered, their strength would massively increase!

Moreover, the resources provided by the Phoenix Sect for their cultivation were completely different from those provided by the Eastern Ancestor and Northern Ancestor.

No matter how powerful the Eastern Ancestor and Northern Ancestor were, their resources were ultimately limited. Most of the resources on the Dragon Martial Continent were controlled by various grand powers.

This is the gap between loose cultivators and sects.

In grand powers, there are frighteningly powerful practitioners, and besides these fearsome experts, there are countless disciples.

Meanwhile, loose cultivators, even ones like the Eastern Ancestor and Northern Ancestor, number only in the thousands, hardly capable of contending with grand powers.

At the Phoenix Sect, there are as many as twelve trillion Spirit Stones, which is more than sufficient to cultivate even more geniuses and disciples.

Furthermore, Su Han plans to retreat for a while, establishing Teleportation Formations throughout the Dragon Martial Continent. The revenue obtained by then would undoubtedly be among the top tier of all powers on the continent!

...

The addition of this group of talents directly filled the vacancy in the soon-to-be-established Three Great Legions.

The Annihilation Army and Blood God Army were not as stringent in their cultivation base requirements, but the Shadow Army was different, demanding absolute strength.

Without strength, how could one assassinate?

Su Han directly integrated Gongsun Ze, Xiuji, and others into the Shadow Army, making them one of the first groups to join among the Three Great Legions!

Besides them, Su Han selected around three hundred individuals from the newly joined members of the Phoenix Sect to join the Shadow Army.

Although these people were all at the Dragon God Realm, most were at the Dragon God Realm Early Stage, and many were loose cultivators.

Their strength was varied, and compared to the Dragon God Realm cultivators from other grand powers, they were relatively weaker since they relied only on themselves, unlike the Dragon God Realm cultivators who depended on the resources of grand powers.

Of course, Su Han wasn’t worried about this. Cultivation Base can be nurtured, and only resources were lacking. As long as Su Han was there, resources would not be in short supply!

Su Han appointed Xiuji and Gongsun Ze as Deputy Captains of the Shadow Army, reserving the position of Captain for Xuanyuan Wuqing.

He had already assured Xuanyuan Wuqing and Bai Ling that they would become Captains of the Three Great Legions. While Xuanyuan Wuqing might currently not match Xiuji and Gongsun Ze, once the bloodline of the Battle Clan within Xuanyuan Wuqing activates, they would not be his equal.

By this moment, the Three Great Legions were formally established, with the Shadow Army consisting of four hundred and thirty people, while selection for the Blood God Army and Annihilation Army was still ongoing, with no one yet having joined.

...

The recruitment of disciples for the Phoenix Sect continued.

The provocation by Gongsun Ze and Xiuji was not without its benefits. The news of Su Han defeating them quickly spread and became increasingly exaggerated; some said Su Han defeated them with just a flick, others claimed he made them break through with a single spit, and there were even those who said he merely breathed on them, and their physical bodies almost collapsed.

Overall, the information everyone received was that Su Han’s strength was very formidable, and even stronger than before.

Some suspected that Su Han orchestrated the whole event, arguing that Gongsun Ze and the others were fellow disciples of Su Han, so why would they provoke him, especially during the recruitment of Phoenix Sect disciples?

Su Han didn’t care in the slightest.

Those two just have a screw loose, what could he do?

In any case, after this news got out, even more people wanted to join the Phoenix Sect.

...

Several days later, the Captains of the Five Divine Guard Corps set out, leading members of the Phoenix Sect to establish strongholds within the Eastern Heaven Realm on the Dragon Martial Continent, recruiting disciples.

To move directly into the other three realms, or even enter the Central Domain, would take time and was not something easily achieved.

Therefore, Su Han initially chose the Eastern Heaven Realm as the target.

The Phoenix Sect was located within the Eastern Heaven Realm, but almost at the easternmost part, near the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

The Eastern Heaven Realm is vast, and traveling from the westernmost point to the easternmost point takes a long time, which is why Su Han had the Phoenix Sect establish outposts in the Eastern Heaven Realm.

The results of this strategy were indeed gratifying.

Half a month later, news arrived that each and every stronghold was extremely overcrowded, with countless people eager to join the Phoenix Sect.

Of course, among them were those with ulterior motives, as well as spies from various grand powers. Su Han ordered Liuyun and others to sort them out meticulously; only after thorough screening could they join.

...

Within the great hall of the Phoenix Sect.

There was no one else present, only Su Han, the Eastern Ancestor, and the Northern Ancestor.

”Speak, what did you call us old folks here for?”

The Eastern Ancestor glanced at the table beside him, where a fruit had long been placed, already sliced by Su Han, needing only to be consumed.

They had fully experienced the power of this fruit; previously, when Su Han cut a fruit into sixteen pieces, each of them had only consumed one piece.

The reason they only consumed one piece was that even that single piece had not been fully refined!

Both of their long-stagnant Cultivation Bases had started to show signs of loosening, like a great mountain that had been before them all along was finally beginning to disappear.

This was the power of just a single piece of fruit!

Now, each of them had two fruits placed before them, and with their seasoned mindsets, they knew Su Han wouldn’t just bring them out for no reason.

”A timely favor has hidden motives!”

”Cough, cough, just say it.”

The Northern Ancestor also lightly coughed, extending his hand to take the fruit.

There was no resisting the overwhelming efficacy of the fruit.

Fortunately, the fruit could be preserved; otherwise, Su Han’s method of slicing it might have caused it to lose its potency.

”Well...”

Su Han chuckled, rubbing his nose, grinning widely.

”Out with it, instead of beating around the bush.”

The Eastern Ancestor and Northern Ancestor exchanged glances, feeling a bit uneasy.

”Well...”

Laughing mischievously, Su Han said, ”I wonder when the other disciples of you two masters will come to challenge?”
