211: Chapter 60: Battle between Father and Son (Part 1)_1 211: Chapter 60: Battle between Father and Son (Part 1)_1 Ye Zhong said, “Those are not dead spirits, we call them Demon Spirits.
Among them, some are alive.
Under the control of certain powerful living beings, a large number of non-living beings attack us.
The true power lies in those living beings that we call the Demon Mother.
It is because of the existence of the Demon Mother that the Demon Spirits continually extend towards our two continents, bringing about destructive slaughter and plague.
The Demon Mother is too powerful; they can absorb any form of elemental power to replenish themselves, then transform into Demon Spirits and release them.
They particularly enjoy absorbing the death aura emitted when various life forms die.
As for their origins, our Eastern Dragon’s wise men have researched for tens of thousands of years and finally concluded that during the collision of two continents, it produced intense friction and tremendous pressure, causing the elemental fluctuation in the air to undergo fusion, or to put it in today’s terms, it generated an unimaginably terrifying and huge Forbidden Curse during the collision of the two continents, forcibly tearing open our space, forming a special passage.
And these Demon Spirits came across from a space, or from another parallel world parallel to ours.”
At this point, Ye Zhong revealed a faint smile on his face, “Silly boy, even though most of the civilization of our Eastern Dragon Empire is lost, the remaining literature far exceeds those of any nation on the Ryuzakinus Continent.
You will see it when you get the chance to visit the eight sects of our Eastern Dragon.”
Ye Yinzhu asked, “What about afterwards.
Since our Eastern Dragon Empire possessed such advanced civilization, was there no way to control the Demon Mother?”
Ye Zhong bitterly smiled, “If there had been, it wouldn’t be like this now.
If not for the great war that severely harmed the vitality of the Eastern Dragon Empire and destroyed most of our civilization, how would we have been destroyed by the West Dragon Empire later?
During that time, what the West Dragon Empire faced was merely the Demon Spirits released by the Demon Mother, but we of the Eastern Dragon Empire were confronted with the real Demon Mother.
There are many types of Demon Mothers depending on their abilities, including the most powerful one, against which even our Eastern Dragon Empire’s Divine Dragon King could not pete.
If it weren’t for the Divine Dragon King severely injuring the Queen Demon Mother at the cost of his life before the final battle, we wouldn’t have stood a chance of driving the Demon Mother back to their space and sealing the rift of that space with the last sacrifice of all our divine dragons.”
Ye Yinzhu yearned, “I really want to see what our Eastern Dragon Empire’s Divine Dragon looks like.”
Ye Zhong said, “It certainly didn’t look anything like those reptiles of the Dragon Clan there today.
Despite the massive bodies and decent powers of the Seven Dragon Clans of the West Dragon Empire, they pale in parison to our Divine Dragon ancestors.
The power of the Divine Dragon es from heaven and earth.
You will get the chance to see it in future.
Ah – if even one Divine Dragon had survived back then, the West Dragon Empire might not have been able to destroy our homeland!
The Divine Dragons, in their fight against the Demon Mother, ended up sacrificing themselves.
Despite this, only the weaker Demon Mother died, while five of the twelve Great Demon Mothers under the Queen Demon Mother perished.
The remaining seven, along with the severely injured Queen Demon Mother, returned to their world.
Thankfully, the space rift was sealed very firmly, otherwise, no one could withstand their counterattack.”
Ye Yinzhu clenched his fists, his eyes flashing coldly, “Those people from the West Dragon Empire are truly despicable.
Our Eastern Dragon Empire saved the continent, yet they took advantage of us when we were most vulnerable, and destroyed our nation.”
Ye Zhong shook his head, menting calmly, “War is always cruel.
Humans are inherently aggressive.
True, the West Dragon Empire is our enemy, meaning, every nation on the continent today is an enemy to the descendants of Eastern Dragon.
However, if we analyze from the perspective of interest, if our Eastern Dragon Empire had enough power back then, we would have unified the continent.
Victory belongs to the triumphant, it’s survival of the fittest.
We lost, and that is the fact.
We don’t believe the West Dragon Empire to be despicable, it can only be said that we were too weak to protect our homeland.”
Hearing Ye Zhong’s words, Ye Yinzhu asked in bewilderment, “So we just accept it?”
Ye Zhong replied, “And what if we don’t?
Among us Eastern Dragons, only a few tens of thousands with pure bloodline have survived.
pared to the millions in the other nations across the continent, we are too insignificant.
It’s impossible for us to rule the continent.
However, we, the Eight Sects of Eastern Dragon, do have our own calculations.
As for the real plan, only the Sect Master of the Eight Sects will know.
Your Grandpa Qin has already decided that you will be his successor.
When you bee the Sect Master of the Zither Sect, or even the Master of both the Zither and Bamboo Sects, you will naturally know.
Yinzhu, do you know how our Eight Sects of Eastern Dragon were founded?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head blankly.
Ye Zhong said, “Initially, our Eastern Dragon Empire had recovered to a certain extent before the arrival of the West Dragon Empire, gaining considerable strength.
However, we overlooked a special ability possessed by the humans of this world, an ability our Eastern Dragon Empire lacks – Magic.
It was the existence of mages in the West Dragon Empire that ultimately caused us to lose our last line of defense.
Otherwise, how could their inferior martial skills ever be a match for our Eastern Dragon warriors?
After all, we are the descendants of dragons!”
A light bulb moment occurred in Ye Yinzhu’s mind, “Are you saying that it was the powerful magic of the West that led to the establishment of our Eastern Dragon Empire’s Four Sects of Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting?”
Ye Zhong nodded, “Correct.
After the fall of our empire, our people were largely killed or assimilated.
Today, anyone in any country can see individuals with black hair and black eyes, but they have long forgotten the existence of the Eastern Dragon Empire.
Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting are cultural traditions passed down through the history of our Eastern Dragon Empire, the essence of countless generations.
Initially, they were just for personal cultivation and nourishment.
After the fall of the empire, our ancestors felt the inadequacy of their power.
Through numerous hardships and great wisdom, they transformed these four traditional cultures into a special form of magic.
While it may seem similar to the magic of the West Dragon Empire in some ways, it’s not the same.
In terms of both cultivation speed and power, it outmatches them.
However, because there are so few of our people left, and even fewer with talent, only a handful of elite talent could inherit this after the establishment of the Four Sects of Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting.
This is why the numbers in the Four Sects have always been scarce.
The Four Martial Arts Sects: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, have inherited our Eastern Dragon Empire’s ancient martial arts.
Much of our civilization has been lost, with almost all of the remaining martial arts traditions within our Four Sects.
Most of the surviving members of the Eastern Dragon Empire belong to the Four Clans: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, all practicing martial arts, preparing for the day of our resurgence.
I might as well tell you about your two grandfathers now.
We naturally had a purpose in helping Acadia.
Once your grandfathers hold sufficient power in Acadia, a weak kingdom, we will gradually shift the members of the Eight Chan Sects over there, establishing it as our development base.
As it is, our current site is simply unsuitable for development.
Over the past century, with the increase in numbers and a general rise in power, our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans have gradually recovered vitality.
Perhaps in the near future, there will be some major actions.”
After listening to his father, Ye Yinzhu had a clear understanding of his roots, “Dad, the Arcadia Kingdom may be weak, but it won’t necessarily be easy to control.
I think our Eastern Eight Sects should not act rashly.
We’ve endured for so many years.
Perhaps the countries on the continent are unaware of our existence and do not see us as a threat.
However, Faran’s Seventh Tower, looming over Faran, must remember our history vividly.
Should they discover a significant number of our Eastern Dragon descendants, it could be detrimental to us.”
Ye Zhong looked at his son with some surprise, “You have a clear understanding!
This is currently our biggest concern.
The power of Faran’s Seventh Tower is far beyond our capacity to deal with.
However, there are many radicals among our sects who overestimate their own strength.
Since the eight sects are jointly determined by the eight Sect Masters, we can’t pletely control them.
But there shouldn’t be any significant actions for now.
Your two grandfathers will do their best to prevent these radicals from acting impulsively.
Oh right, you mentioned your granted Qin City earlier.
Zi and I share the same opinion about this.
It’s a wonderful place, bordering the Northernmost Wilderness.
If a road could be established connecting us with the Beastman Clan, then once Zi unifies the Beast Clan, it would be a place where we can advance or retreat as needed.
Truly a fine location.
When I return, I’ll discuss it with your grandfathers.
If we can’t establish ourselves in Acadia, we might as well move the sect to your Qin City.
It’s a good place for growth.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, but he was somewhat worried in his heart.
From his father’s description, the Eight Eastern Dragon Sects were jointly run by the eight Sect Masters, and his two grandfathers seemed to not yet occupy a leading position.
What would happen when they arrived at Qin City?
“You don’t have to be concerned about internal affairs of the Eight Sects for now.
You’re still young, and what you need most is to increase your strength.
Both for internal affairs within the sect and for potential future battles.
You need enough power to back you up.
Grandpa Qin always treated you as a prodigy, so don’t disappoint him!”
Looking at his father’s encouraging gaze, Ye Yinzhu nodded, saying, “I will do my best.”
