C480 Bewilderment Dragon Stream(2)

Not long after, an elderly man with a red face and white hair appeared. Upon his arrival, he glanced at Woo Zhengyang and the others without saying a word, casually casting a series of seals onto the shimmering barrier. The barrier rippled where the seals struck.

Soon, the sound of wings cutting through the air accompanied by cries echoed. One by one, massive flying beasts emerged from the ripples in the barrier. These creatures were enormous, their wings spanning over a hundred feet. With blue wings, green eyes, red bodies, and white markings, their scales glistened even more under the light rain, exuding a majestic aura.

Woo Zhengyang didn't recognize these beasts, but their formidable presence was unmistakable. They were at least level eight beasts, possibly even comparable to a martial arts grandmaster at level nine.

Afterward, young disciples from the Azure Sun Martial Mansion began directing people to climb onto the beasts' backs. While the mansion's disciples seemed accustomed to this, the rural youths from various villages were bewildered, having no idea where they were headed or what awaited them. Despite their confusion, they knew they couldn't resist—not with the mysterious elderly man and the formidable disciples of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion surrounding them.

With no other choice, they had to follow the arrangements of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion and mix with the young disciples there before mounting the beasts. Each beast could carry over a dozen people. Liu Dahu was assigned elsewhere, while Woo Zhengyang held Rice as they boarded one of the creatures.

On this beast, along with a few country youths, were seven young disciples from the Azure Sun Martial Mansion, including Zhan Yifei and Zhan Yinuo.

"Let's move out!" the elder with a red face and white hair commanded, mounting his own flying beast.

The sound of wings cutting through the air filled the sky as the beasts took flight, creating a whirlwind of light rain. Looking back, the vast Azure Sun Martial Mansion gradually shrank into the distance.

This was Woo Zhengyang's first time riding a flying beast, and its level was evidently high, surpassing their sword-flying speed and altitude. Despite the high altitude, the rain continued to patter against them, but fortunately, everyone was a Body Tempering cultivator; otherwise, the sudden sting of the rain would have been quite painful.

Woo Zhengyang glanced at the elder leading the way, then at the positions of Zhan Yifei and Zhan Yinuo, slowly moving closer. Zhan Yinuo seemed fine, but Zhan Yifei clearly wasn't fond of Woo Zhengyang.

This guy got beaten three times initially, which made him a laughingstock for a while. Then he ended up in a gravity room with fifty times the normal force, leaving him bedridden for several days.

On the other hand, Zhan Yinuo had a decent impression of Woo Zhengyang. Despite their numerous encounters where Woo Zhengyang always gave him a tough time, it was precisely this formidable opponent that fueled his fighting spirit. Just a few days ago, Zhan Yinuo reached the Inner Stage.

Originally, Zhan Yinuo had planned to secretly get back at Woo Zhengyang to settle the score, but unexpected events left him regretting he couldn't follow through.

Regardless, Woo Zhengyang earned enough respect and recognition from both Zhan Yifei and Zhan Yinuo. They didn't hold back much when Woo Zhengyang inquired about various matters.

Woo Zhengyang started with the simplest question about the creature beneath him. The Scarlet Lin Beast, a ninth-level beast, is incredibly fast and considered the best mount in this world, with a speed comparable to an expert at the Martial King level flying with a sword.

Next, there was the matter of the elder with the red face and white hair. Lin Yuyue, the Grand Elder of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion, is at the mid-stage of the Royal Body level.

The first four stages of body tempering involve refining from blood and flesh, to skin, then to the inner stage, and finally strengthening bones and muscles, progressing step by step from a Martial Disciple to a martial arts master, covering the entire body.

After the body, flesh, muscles, bones, and inner essence are thoroughly refined, a Body Tempering cultivator's physique is truly forged. At this stage, the body is known as the King Body, and the level is referred to as the King Body Stage. Just as the Essence Shaking Stage marks a significant transformation for those refining their energy, the King Body Stage represents a major leap in body cultivation. Crossing this threshold means reaching the pinnacle of martial arts mastery.

Woo Zhengyang's third question was, "Where are we headed?" The two brothers hesitated briefly before explaining.

"Bewilderment Dragon Stream! It's an ancient hidden realm."

This place is treacherous and perilous, yet it's also a land of opportunity. Here, one can find all sorts of magical crystal mines and rare natural treasures that are hard to come by elsewhere. It even holds ancient opportunities and legacies. Of course, behind every opportunity lies a series of trials and challenges. Whether one can seize these opportunities is one thing; whether one can make it out alive is even more crucial.

After hearing the explanation from the Zhan brothers, Woo Zhengyang suddenly understood. No wonder the Azure Sun Martial Mansion had been assigning them various tasks recently. Whether it was learning to mine, gathering rare herbs and flowers, breaking through barriers, hunting demonic beasts, or even participating in arena challenges, it was all meant to give everyone a chance to adapt and learn.

The ultimate goal of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion is this journey to the Bewilderment Dragon Stream!
