After the meeting ended, Zheng-Fu left the meeting room with everyone to go and see all the force members' cultivation and routines. And they would also go to visit thousands of baby dragons in the raising area to see how they were now.
At a large raising plant for baby dragons...
"Force Leader, Master Elder, all baby dragons are now in good health, sir. Also, recently, there have been several baby dragons that seem to be growing faster than others," a middle-aged man reported when everyone entered the raising plant.
"Thank you very much. Where are the bigger baby dragons now?" Zheng-Fu was very satisfied with this report and immediately wanted to see the dragons that were bigger than the others.
"They've been separated into another room, sir. Because when raising them together, the others don't dare to eat and don't dare to do anything for they're afraid of them," the middle-aged man hurriedly replied and pointed in the direction of the raising room that separated those dragons.
Umm!
Zheng-Fu only lightly nodded, before walking in the direction the middle-aged man pointed. The other Elders in the force, including Little Chang-Yue and Tai-He, also followed him.
Creeeaaak!!!
Quaaaaaaack!!!
Arrrrrrrggg!!!
When the door of the separated raising room opened, the little dragons' angry and displeased cries sounded. And the little dragons that were nearly two meters tall jumped and blocked Zheng-Fu's way.
Huh?
"Looks like you guys are very energetic and angry. But do you really think it's okay to act so big and arrogant in front of me like this?"
Whooooosh!!!
Quaaaaaaack!!!
Arrrrrrrggg!!!
As soon as Zheng-Fu finished speaking, a terrifying and formidable aura suddenly radiated from his body. This caused the baby dragons that were blocking his way and acting arrogantly to become so panicked and scared that they had to cry out and quickly bow down to the floor.
Quaaaaack! Quaaaaack! Quaaaaack!
"Very good! Being such good kids is worth raising!" When Zheng-Fu saw these baby dragons calm down and act more politely, he complimented them with satisfaction.
This incident caused everyone who followed him to widen their eyes in shock. Dragons were known to be arrogant in their dignity. Even if their lives were in danger, they would not surrender to anyone. Only a few would give up their dignity to survive.
However, these baby dragon expressions did not seem like they were giving up their dignity at all. But they seemed to be showing respect for their parents. This sight made the members of the force feel even more respect and admiration for Zheng-Fu.
"Junior Brother, you have so much power that you can make them subdue. Isn't it because you have the dragon bloodline that they accept you like this?" At that moment, Jiang-Long asked in a teasing tone. However, the answer he would get had to change the smile he was wearing.
"Senior Brother, how did you know that I have the Dragon Bloodline in my body? In fact, I do have a trace of Dragon Bloodline within me. Probably because of this, along with my martial techniques and skills related to dragons, these little dragons are aware." Zheng-Fu said with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth as well.
Ah!
"Are you telling the truth, Junior Brother?" Jiang-Long gasped when he heard Zheng-Fu's words that he had a Dragon Bloodline inside him.
"Have you ever seen me lying, Senior Brother?" Zheng-Fu did not hesitate to reply with a shrug.
Umm!
"It's true what you say! From the actions of these little dragons, you must be telling the truth!" Jiang-Long nodded in agreement. Because since they met, Zheng-Fu had never lied to him once, just teasing and joking with him sometimes.
"These baby dragons look very different from those little dragons. It was as if they were kings among the others. They were as strong and aggressive as young dragons. Hmm, who owns these dragons?" Zheng-Fu considered the appearance of those little dragons and was satisfied, before asking who hatched their eggs.
"These little dragons belong to the elders of our force. And the frontmost and strongest one belongs to the Deputy Leader Jiang-Long, sir, Force Leader!" the middle-aged man replied.
Umm!
"It's only fitting to be like that," said Zheng-Fu, lightly nodding in satisfaction. Before he turned to tell Jiang-Long, "Senior Brother, your little dragon has become the king of all the dragons we have. Which indicates that you have the right to become the next Defeat Heavenly Force Leader after me." Finishing speaking, a slight smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.
"What are you saying? Why should I be the next force leader after you?" Jiang-Long's eyes widened, and his brows furrowed together when he heard Zheng-Fu's words. And it was not just Jiang-Long who was curious. Others were as well.
"Because I'll leave the sect to explore the outside world and cultivate myself to become stronger. I don't know how long this journey will take. But of course, I'll also go to the area where the beam from Deity Land will appear. Therefore, during my absence, our force must have a leader to look after and direct. You're the person I believe in and trust the most to succeed me as the next force leader," Zheng-Fu explained why he would relinquish his position as Force Leader to Jiang-Long. He wanted to venture out and explore the outside world to see what it was like. Moreover, he needed to go to the location where the beam from the Deity Land would appear at scheduled intervals.
Ah!
"Big Brother! Big Brother, please let me…"
"I'm sorry, I can't take you with me. Because I don't know how dangerous the outside world is. If something happened to you, it would be very painful. So, you must stay here and wait for me to come back. When you become a Deity Soul stage cultivator, I promise to take you with me!"
Zheng-Fu immediately interrupted Chang-Yue. Even though he was already very strong now, he could not take her with him. Because if he had to encounter a lot of enemies and was fighting hard, they might take advantage of that opportunity to hit her, and he would not be able to help her.
"But..."
"I'm not going right now. I'll be with you for one more month. Wait until you get out of Heavenly Command Secret Land," Zheng-Fu tried to console Chang-Yue. He actually did not plan on leaving right now because he still had many things to do.
"Yes, sir!"
Although Chang-Yue was reluctant to accept, she nodded and responded. Because she knew that even if she continued to beg, Zheng-Fu would never change his mind. And thinking about it again, she understood that if she accompanied Zheng-Fu, she would burden him.
"There are many hidden dangers in the outside world. But I believe you'll be able to survive. Because even a Deity stage Grandmaster was defeated by your tactical formation. And how could those of the lower ranks fight you? But even so, you should always be on your guard, Junior Brother!" Jiang-Long let out a long sigh helplessly. He could only bless and warn Zheng-Fu.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. All right! Everyone, let's go back to cultivating. In seven days, we'll meet in the courtyard in front of the main building." Zheng-Fu politely and gratefully thanked Jiang-Long before he parted from everyone and returned to his house.
In Zheng-Fu's private room...
"Before leaving, I must complete the Eight-Direction Monster Pillars Tactical Formation!"
Flap! Flap! Flap!
Whooooosh!!!
After returning to his room, Zheng-Fu took out the monster beast horn and put all the monster souls he could collect in it to make them even stronger. Because he was going to incorporate them in his Monster Pillars Tactical Formation, which right now was only half finished.
Seven days passed...
Boooooooom!!!
"Finally, it's complete!"
Zheng-Fu cried out joyfully after he finished the last pillar of the Eight-Direction Monster Pillars Tactical Formation. In this eighth pillar, he had incorporated all the monster souls he had, which amounted to twenty thousand souls. But even though the number was large, more than half of them were just at the advanced Heavenly Star stage. Because he didn't have much time, he could collect only this amount of monster souls.
"It's today that Heavenly Command Secret Land will allow Heavenly Command Sect disciples to enter," said Zheng-Fu. After he checked the time, he found it was almost time to bring everyone into the secret land. So, he returned to the house to take a bath and change into new clothes. After that, he went to the front courtyard of the Defeat Heavenly Force's main building to meet the one hundred selected disciples.
In the courtyard in front of the main building of Defeat Heavenly Force...
Thump!
"Respect, Force Leader!"
"Respect, Force Leader!"
When all the disciples in the force saw Zheng-Fu, they greeted him humbly and respectfully. Among these hundred people, little Chang-Yue and Tai-He were included.
"We've already selected one hundred disciples. The other clans and forces in the sect have recruited their men as well. By the way, wouldn't the number be too large, Junior Brother? If roughly counted in total, there are more than three thousand people." Jiang-Long walked over to Zheng-Fu, reporting before he asked about a doubt he had about the total number of people who would enter the Heavenly Command Secret Land.
"Of course, it looks a lot. But this is just the beginning. There will be only a hundred disciples who will be able to enter the Heavenly Command Secret Land. We'll cut down the number from one hundred people of each force and clan to a total of one hundred people," Zheng-Fu replied with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, as if hinting at some kind of scheme.
Ah!
"Then why do we have to select a hundred people? Why didn't we select just ten people to maneuver with the others? Isn't it faster like this!?" Jiang-Long questioned. Zheng-Fu's answer made him very curious. He did not know why Zheng-Fu had to complicate it.
"You can do that. But having such a large number of people in the first place will make everyone in our force and others more encouraged. Although they knew that only a hundred people could enter. But it's worth it and has sentimental value to them."
Hah!
"Right, as Force Leader said. Although everyone knew that only one hundred out of thousands would enter Heavenly Command Secret Land, it made them feel good that they had fought to become one of the hundred strongest people of their generation," said Du-Ge-Tong. He also agreed with Zheng-Fu's thoughts.
"Yes! If the Deputy Leader doesn't believe it, look at their faces. Even though they heard what we talked about, they didn't have a sad expression on their faces. It only motivates them to want to fight even more. It was as if they were still not satisfied with their previous battles. And having another maneuver is like giving them another chance to make amends!"
Umm!
Many Elders thought so. Of course, this arrangement was already approved by Li-Gao and the Five Pillar Elders. At first, the six of them disagreed. But after listening to Zheng-Fu's explanation until the end, they completely agreed.
