I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 485: Chapter 439: Green Dragon Realm

Under intense vibration, the Cloud-Breaking Charge, already at the end of its strength, showed signs of cracking and disintegration. The three were well-prepared this time and immediately grabbed their belongings and fled quickly.

Just ten miles away, the Cloud-Breaking Charge exploded in mid-air, shattering into pieces.

Jiang Yuebai quickly looked around and found them floating over a vast stone ridge, where the eyes met only barren brown rocks. Waves of scorching Gang Qi blew up from the ridge below.

Roar!!

”Zheng Yougong of Stone Gate City, begging three Dao friends for assistance!!”

A dragon’s roar, accompanied by an anxious male voice, came from the distance. The three turned their heads and saw a gigantic dragon covered in brown rock roaring, chasing a blue-clothed male cultivator towards them.

The male cultivator, seemingly at an Early-Stage Golden Core cultivation level, covered his right arm, blood on his face, evidently badly injured.

He desperately escaped with all his might, while the brown Stone Dragon behind seemed to be in a frenzy, with one dragon horn half broken, its dragon might soaring to the sky, almost reaching Golden Core Peak’s momentum.

”My heavens, what dragon is this? It’s so huge!”

Seeing a real dragon for the first time, Xie Jingshan was struck with awe.

A ray shot from the dragon’s mouth right onto the male cultivator’s back, forcefully breaking through his Protective Gang Qi.

The cultivator screamed miserably, his body falling straight down. The Stone Dragon coiled in mid-air, its body covered in stone-scale spikes pointing towards the falling cultivator, firing furiously like a torrential rain.

”It’s a Small Restriction, Thousand Jin Fall!”

Jiang Yuebai recognized the move the Stone Dragon used on the cultivator; it was something she could do too.

Boom boom boom!

Mountains shook, dust filled the air, and the whole mountain beneath collapsed under the torrential rain of stone spikes, with an imposing aura.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yuebai said, ”We need a guide. I’ll handle that dragon, and you see if that person can be saved.”

”Be careful!”

Lu Nanzhi reminded and rushed towards the valley below together with Xie Jingshan.

Jiang Yuebai summoned the White Dragon Spear, turning into a smokey mist, instantly fleeing to the front of the Stone Dragon.

The long spear’s radiance was restrained, hiding the Winged Dragon’s shadow, leaving only dragon might, stabbing toward the giant head of the Stone Dragon.

Crash!

When the spear tip was a yard away from the dragon’s head, it collided violently with the Protective Restriction. The circular shield composed of stone spikes bloomed layer by layer, repelling the spear’s might.

”Go back, don’t force me to kill you!”

Jiang Yuebai coldly shouted in Dragon Language, invoking the power of Winged Dragon Essence Blood in her body.

Wave after wave of energy blasted towards the Stone Dragon, dispersing the restriction before its dragon head. The enormous Stone Dragon hovered in mid-air, staring at the female cultivator in front of it, who was only the size of one of its eyeballs, its eyes full of doubt.

Two streams of white air spouted from its nostrils. After a moment of standoff, the Stone Dragon turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the stone ridge below, merging seamlessly with the surroundings, making it difficult to trace.

Jiang Yuebai watched it for a while from afar; she originally wanted to ask it if it had seen Ao Juan, but it showed no intention of conversing with her, keeping a heavy guard against her.

Jiang Yuebai withdrew her spear and sped towards the mountain ridge below.

At the edge of the ruins, Lu Nanzhi, dressed in black with half a mask, stood on a boulder, while Xie Jingshan was sitting beside the severely injured male cultivator.

”Brother, how did you end up getting targeted by such a huge dragon?”

The male cultivator named Zheng Yougong swallowed an elixir, used the Dust Cleaning Technique to remove the blood and dust from his body, and took a breath, saying, ”Don’t mention it. Now, the dragons in the Green Dragon Realm act like they’ve eaten thunder, exploding on contact and killing on sight. I was merely looking to enter Dragon Abyss Gorge for some spiritual medicine, sigh!”

”Wasn’t it like this before?” Jiang Yuebai came over and asked.

Hearing the voice, Zheng Yougong looked up to see Jiang Yuebai in white clothing and hair, with a celestial aura, his eyes lit up. He quickly stood to tidy his attire and fix his messy hair.

”I am Zheng Yougong. Thank you, Fairy, for your rescue. May I know Fairy’s esteemed name?”

Zheng Yougong’s sudden genteel demeanor made Xie Jingshan roll his eyes from behind, silently forcing a bitter smile.

Jiang Yuebai smiled indifferently, ”I am Chenzhou Wanderer.”

”Chenzhou? A good name indeed!”

Xie Jingshan: ???

Zheng Yougong scanned the three of them, carefully gazing at Lu Nanzhi, but lamented he couldn’t see her face clearly due to the mask.

”Aren’t the three of you cultivators from the Green Dragon Realm?”

Jiang Yuebai nodded, ”On the master sect’s orders, we were originally headed to the Dubhe Realm. But halfway, we got tangled in a fight with a Refining Void Great Power and had to detour to the Green Dragon Realm for shelter. Now that the Cloud-Breaking Charge is broken, it seems we’ll need to use the Transmission Array to head to the Dubhe Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yougong frowned, ”It seems the three of you haven’t been in the Eastern Star Alliance territory for long and are unaware that the Green Dragon Realm has sealed its borders, allowing entry but not exit.”

”Why?” Xie Jingshan was shocked, having just left the Iron Palm Realm and now trapped in the Green Dragon Realm?

Lu Nanzhi lowered her arms and turned to look.

Zheng Yougong focused intently on Jiang Yuebai, smiled, and said, ”It’s a long story. If the three of you don’t mind, perhaps accompany me back to Stone Gate City so I can properly thank you for saving me, and I can explain on the way.”

Jiang Yuebai looked at Lu Nanzhi, who nodded in agreement. Xie Jingshan continued to roll his eyes behind Zheng Yougong.

”Okay, we’ll trouble you then.”

Zheng Yougong was overjoyed, summoning a Dragon-Shaped Treasure Boat and inviting Jiang Yuebai aboard.

Before Jiang Yuebai could set foot, Xie Jingshan pulled her aside, stepping on first and stomping down hard.

”It’s alright, doesn’t feel quite stable. Better use my Smoke and Mist Light Boat.”

He then tossed out his custom-modified, luxurious version of the Smoke and Mist Light Boat.

With a glazed hull, carved beams, and paintings, splendidly radiant, the boat was enveloped in glowing smoke, dazzling in brilliance.

The corner of Zheng Yougong’s mouth twitched, making his Dragon-Shaped Treasure Boat seem shabby and unfit for display.

”Fancy and eye-glazing, if you like it, ride it yourself.”

Jiang Yuebai ignored Xie Jingshan, stepping onto Zheng Yougong’s Dragon-Shaped Treasure Boat, with Lu Nanzhi following behind.

Xie Jingshan stomped his feet angrily, and stubbornly refused to board the Dragon-Shaped Treasure Boat.

Zheng Yougong secretly chuckled, hurriedly steering the Dragon-Shaped Treasure Boat through the stone ridge, racing northeast.

”Stone Gate City isn’t far, it’ll take about an hour to reach.”

A glow chased from behind, Xie Jingshan alone steering the Smoke and Mist Light Boat, sometimes overtaking, sometimes swaying to the left, then to the right, leisurely showboating.

Jiang Yuebai paid him no mind and continued her inquiry with Zheng Yougong.

”Why did the Green Dragon Realm suddenly seal its borders?”

Zheng Yougong said, ”It’s not sudden; the seal has been up for almost twenty years. I recall that I hadn’t formed my Core yet that year, when half of the Green Dragon Realm’s Dragon Clan suddenly rioted, resisting orders from the Dragon Shepherds, even injuring many who had raised them.”

”The specific cause is said to be the sudden intrusion of a Winged Dragon into the Green Dragon Realm. Since the Winged Dragon’s bloodline ranks above the Green Dragon, this chaos and rebellion from the Dragon Clan is understandable if a Winged Dragon truly exists. Except, the Mahayana Immortal Monarch of our Green Dragon Realm had already left with their Azure Dragon, heading into the void to transcend the Immortal Tribulation.”

”The Integration Dao Lord of the True Martial Immortal Sect doesn’t get involved in the disputes between the Dragon Herding Sects, and the Refining Void Star Monarch from Biyou Palace and the Refining Void Star Monarch from the Fulong Sect rarely cooperate, sealing the Green Dragon Realm, allowing entry but forbidding exit to capture the Winged Dragon. However, it’s been nearly twenty years, and they still haven’t caught it.”

Jiang Yuebai’s mind was stirred, probing further, ”What cultivation level is the Winged Dragon? Even two Refining Void Star Monarchs can’t catch it?”

Zheng Yougong continued, ”It’s said to be at an Early-Stage Divinity Transformation. It’s not that they can’t catch it but that the Realm Lord Immortal Monarch issued a decree to protect the Green Dragon Realm from getting damaged, banning the Refining Void Star Monarch and Integration Dao Lord from making moves rashly. Catching the Winged Dragon falls to the Divinity Transformation Cultivators.”

At this point, Zheng Yougong couldn’t help but chuckle.

”I’ve heard that the Winged Dragon is extremely cunning, frequently launching surprise attacks on the territories of the Dragon Herding Sects, and every time, when both sects react and join forces to chase, it decisively flees. Moreover, it sets traps along its escape route, ambushing sect cultivators from both sides. It’s well-versed in the Human Clan’s battle tactics, making it extremely difficult to capture.”

”More and more Dragon Clan members are now rebelling against the Dragon Herding sects, venturing beyond West Sea to join the Winged Dragon, forming a climate. The three of you best avoid the West Sea area, where the fighting is intense and very unsafe.”
