Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Yunzhou, Flying Horse Mountain.

Flying Horse Mountain was originally an unremarkable, minor mountain in Yunzhou. Occasionally, Loose Cultivators might venture into the mountain in search of medicinal herbs, but it certainly was no blessed Spirit Mountain.

Such a small mountain had never attracted the interest of Cultivators in the past.

Yet, now the mountain was swarming with countless Cultivators, drawn by the widespread rumor that a Flood Dragon's lair was located within the Cangyun River section of the mountain.

The originator of this rumor was of little concern to most of the Cultivators gathered here.

The only thing they cared about was finding the lair of the Flood Dragon and then competing for the Flood Dragon Egg mentioned in the rumors.

If previously ordinary Cultivators had no clear impression of how formidable a Flood Dragon could be,

then after the incident where five Purple Mansion Cultivators from Yunzhou united to slay a Flood Dragon and ended up being counter-slain, with one of their own killed, everyone became acutely aware of the Flood Dragon's might.

Given such an event, discovering that there might even be a Flood Dragon Egg within the lair, which Cultivator wouldn't be tempted?

Humans are prone to fantasy, and Cultivators are no exception.

Every Loose Cultivator had once naively dreamt of one day inheriting the legacy of a Golden Core Stage or even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, then using the predecessor's Dharma Treasures and elixirs to advance their Cultivation Level by leaps and bounds, achieving the Golden Core within a century, and living freely for a thousand years.

While a Flood Dragon Egg might not compare to the inheritance in one's dream, if one managed to acquire it, it could certainly change the fate of a low-ranking Cultivator!

If one could have a Flood Dragon as a Spirit Pet, who among their peers would be their match?

With the growth and assistance of a Flood Dragon in the future, would one still fear not obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill or treasures that aid in opening the Purple Mansion?

Hence, although they knew the hope was extremely faint, it did nothing to deter the determination of the Yunzhou Cultivators to come to Flying Horse Mountain.

When Zhou Chun arrived at Flying Horse Mountain, he saw Cultivators everywhere in what once was barren wilderness and rocky ridges.

Among them, the majority were Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators, but there were also not a few prominent Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators flitting about.

Previously, when searching for the Flood Dragon, Zhou Chun saw only a few Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Presumably, these Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators also knew that although they had some strength, they were significantly inferior compared to a Flood Dragon, so they did not join the fray previously.

But now things were different. They knew the location of the Flood Dragon's lair and that there was a Flood Dragon Egg within.

In the face of such enormous benefits, some Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators couldn't help but be moved into action.

Of course, they didn't have the ability to fight the Flood Dragon directly, but stealing a Flood Dragon Egg, or taking some Dragon Blood Spirit Items from the lair when the Flood Dragon was away, should be no problem, right?

Foundation Establishment Cultivators who came with such thoughts were not few at Flying Horse Mountain.

With too many Cultivators gathered here, and no Marketplace or family sect to maintain order, no one was there to keep the peace.

As a result, Zhou Chun had been here for less than two hours and had already witnessed several deadly encounters between Cultivators.

He even saw a Loose Cultivator being burned to ashes by another Cultivator's spell!

Zhou Chun had never witnessed such a chaotic scene before.

This made him even more cautious and exceptionally, he took out and carried the "Moon Blade Meteor Wheel" on his back.

This action served both to deter those who might harbor ill intentions towards him and to be ready to use the Magic Artifact at a moment's notice should danger arise.

Nevertheless, most Cultivators still focused their efforts on the "right path."

Along both banks of the river extending over hundreds of miles from Flying Horse Mountain, many Cultivators, undeterred by the danger, plunged into the river in search of the Flood Dragon's lair.

Zhou Chun didn't even need to inquire deliberately before he frequently heard Cultivators discussing the appearance of Water Demons at certain locations and the death of several Cultivators.

By then, no one doubted that the Flood Dragon Lair was located within the river section of Flying Horse Mountain.

The reason was simple; it would have been hard to explain why so many Water Demons, specifically Dragon Descendant Aquatic Demons related to Flood Dragons, would be present in this otherwise unremarkable stretch of the river.

It's just that the lair was likely concealed by some spell of the Flood Dragon, making it difficult to pinpoint its exact location for the time being.

And Zhou Chun certainly had no intention of searching for any Flood Dragon lair.

Even if someone told him where it was, he wouldn't verify its authenticity.

With two Flood Dragons currently guarding the lair, only someone with a death wish would dream of entering the Dragon Lair to seek treasure.

He simply found a higher peak along the river in the mountains and then settled there to wait patiently.

Zhou Chun was now fairly certain that the high-ranking Cultivators of Green Lotus Temple would soon take action to slay the dragon, and they must have a method for finding the Flood Dragon lair.

So now, all he had to do was to observe from his high vantage point and just wait for the high-ranking Cultivators and the Flood Dragons to appear.

However, what Zhou Chun did not expect was that not long after he settled on the mountain, trouble found him.

"You there! This mountain is claimed by us brothers; if you know what's good for you, scram at once!"

Three men, each with a late-stage Qi Refinement Cultivation Level, suddenly appeared at the peak where Zhou Chun was located, demanding that he leave.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's brow furrowed, as he looked at the leading man and said, "My good sir, is it not quite overbearing to claim this unowned land for yourself? I arrived here before you; what gives you the right to demand that I, the one who arrived first, leave?"
