The Dragon Fish was a fish prone to slumber.
Every year, aside from the present moment of receiving tribute, it spent most of its time in spring sleep.
As a fish that aimed to grow stronger through sleep, it initially rejected the idea of combat.
Why cultivate battle skills when it could grow stronger by simply receiving tributes?
Its most commonly used method was "Dragon Mighty," whose dragon lineage gave it an overwhelming dominance over others of its level. With its might alone, it had suppressed those in the Unity Realm and had maintained its rule over Kowloon Mountain for a thousand years without ever truly engaging in combat.
The auras of those three in the sky did not seem strong to it, yet it instinctively sensed a threat.
The Dragon Fish did not make a statement, only hoping that the three powerful beings would quickly pass by so it could enjoy the tribute in peace.
It saw those three fly to the top of Kowloon Mountain, waving their hands to transform the heavens and the earth, reshaping the mountains and rivers... its own lair had become unrecognizable!
Over the Kowloon River, the waters surged, each wave rising higher than the last.
The Dragon Fish’s formidable aura was now fully unleashed.
Like a lion guarding its territory, the Dragon Fish opened its huge mouth, "Woo wa woo wa woo wa—"
But the aura was real.
The juniors of various clans at the Awakening Tier outside Kowloon Mountain collapsed one after another, pale-faced, lying on the ground, their hearts clutched tight as if about to stop beating.
To the juniors, who saw them as great figures, those in the Stepping Void Realm knelt on one knee, the terrifying aura hitting them like waves, causing their bodies to tremble incessantly.
Only those in the Unity Realm, well, could still barely stand.
A figure from the Purple Jade Clan at the Unity Realm was not only strong enough to hold on but also managed to protect some of their clansfolk.
"The Dragon Fish has, has become angered!"
"We’re doomed because of those three guys!"
"Quiet down, it’s hard to say who’s stronger between them and the Dragon Fish, but undoubtedly one of them could crush us into dust with a single finger!" Follow current novels on novｅlfire.net
Groups of those at the Awakening Tier and the Stepping Void Realm shivered.
Their faces full of panic.
The Dragon Fish was a being from the Divine Domain Realm, and those three were very likely to possess strength on par with it.
When powerful beings clash, and they were only a dozen or so kilometers away from Kowloon Mountain.
Wanting to escape but paralyzed by the aura, they couldn’t move.
Staying put, they didn’t need to use their brains to know what the outcome would be.
A giant wave lifted the Dragon Fish up into the sky.
From the arms extending along its body, wielding a trident made of water currents, it used telekinesis to form several Source Qi water balls the size of fists within a range of kilometers.
At just a glance, one could feel the terrifying energy contained within.
A single water ball could possibly transform Kowloon Mountain into Kowloon Valley.
Below the mountain, the various clans at the Awakening Tier and the Stepping Void Realm all fell to the ground, covering their heads with their hands.
They waited for a long while, but no explosion came.
Some from the Stepping Void Realm began to raise their heads.
Under the glaring sunlight, the majestic Dragon Fish was... eh, immobilized like a dead fish by huge chains of ice.
Each ice chain was several kilometers long!
Looking up from below, the crisscrossed ice chains nearly covered the whole sky, and in the very center of the chains was the dead fish... the Dragon Fish.
It struggled non-stop, the ice chains making a thunderous noise.
But, not a single crack appeared. It was just the sound of the chains being swung around.
’Could it be that the Dragon Fish is actually all bark and no bite?’
Some in the Unity Realm couldn’t help but doubt.
The Dragon Fish roared, "Woo wa woo wa woo wa~!!"
Rings of terrible energy spread out, uprooting trees at the foot of Kowloon Mountain, and even some Awakening Tier individuals were blown away despite being more than ten kilometers away.
Only a few in the Unity Realm pupils constricted, sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations at the core.
The Dragon Fish was still your majesty.
Tang Yu stood at the peak of the mountain, overlooking the vast sea of clouds, his mind immersed in the 3D model of his Territory.
He spent a large number of Source Crystals and telekinesis energy value to construct some important buildings.
Among them, a training camp was essential.
But within the "Tao Sect," he changed its façade to "Trial Tower," a sect-defining tower he built by merging twenty level-three training camps. It stood at the peak of Kowloon Mountain, visible from hundreds of miles away, an imposing and tall structure.
In addition, there were other important constructions like "Law Enforcement Hall," "Scripture Pavilion," "Preaching Hall," "Reward Hall," and "Disciples’ Dormitories."
He also elevated Kowloon Mountain. The mountain’s front became more gentle, with vertical cliffs on both sides polished smooth as mirrors, and verdant trees were quickly grown.
After this arrangement, the Tao Sect finally began to take shape.
The workload was not small, far more complex than when he used the map editor for strategy games in the past. Still, under his supercomputer-like brain operation, it was all taken care of in a mere three to five minutes.
Tang Yu finally spared a glance at the Dragon Fish, who was glaring back with bulging eyes that seemed rather defiant.
He stepped through the Void, as if contracting the earth beneath him, and within a few steps, he stood before the Dragon Fish, shackled by ice chains.
Staring at the constantly struggling and "wooing" Dragon Fish, he mused for a while, "This sect has just been established and is in need of a Guardian Sect Spirit Beast. Full social security and weekends off—are you interested?"
The Dragon Fish "wooed," whiskers thrashing as it struggled.
It couldn’t speak, but its message was quite clear.
Tang Yu’s expression grew more serious:
"I’ll give you another chance, are you interested?"
"Think it over carefully before you answer."
"Don’t miss out on this opportunity."
The Dragon Fish vehemently shook its head; it had considered it carefully. It was a fish yearning for freedom, and even if it meant dying here in these chains, it would never become some Guardian Sect Spirit Beast!
"Very well, it seems you’ve made your decision, Eileen..."
