Chapter 725: Dragon Ball! (Third Update)
Next.
With Qin Muqing's introduction, Lin Fan began to roughly understand the situation of the Lost Continent.
The Lost Continent is not very large; in fact, it's not even as big as the Spirit Realm, with the whole continent spanning around tens of millions of miles.
It is divided into several regions!
Among them.
The areas governed by the Top Three Sects, the Middle Six Sects, and the Lower Nine Sects cover more than a million miles, among which the power of the Heavenly Fire Sect, the Fire Cloud Sect, and the Extreme Fire Sect are the most formidable, collectively known as the Top Three Sects.
"Heavenly Fire Sect, Fire Cloud Sect, Extreme Fire Sect? Why do they all relate to fire?" Lin Fan found it somewhat odd.
The names of these three sects are very interesting; they all relate to fire!
"It's like this: these three great sects were once a single sect, all associated with fire. Later, they split into three sects, and each retained the character 'fire' in their names! And these three great sects are located not far from one another. Among them, the Extreme Fire Sect is the strongest, followed by the Fire Cloud Sect, and the weakest is actually the Heavenly Fire Sect!"
"Of course, the Heavenly Fire Sect is only the weakest compared to the three great sects; it's still considered a top-notch sect among other sects!" explained Qin Muqing.
Lin Fan nodded slightly.
"Besides the regions ruled by the Top Three Sects, what about other areas? The Lost Continent is so vast, there must be other powers, right?"
"Yes!"
Qin Muqing nodded but appeared somewhat embarrassed as she explained, "I'm not very clear about the powers in other areas, but I've heard that there are a few major powers that are even stronger than the Extreme Fire Sect, Fire Cloud Sect, and Heavenly Fire Sect. I don't know the specifics…"
Qin Muqing shook her head.
Lin Fan did not pursue the matter further.
It was normal for Qin Muqing, who stayed within the Cloud Flowing Sect, to not understand the matters of the outside world.
It's just like someone who has never been abroad not knowing about foreign affairs.
Lin Fan inquired about some other matters. Qin Muqing didn't know much, but at least she knew more than Lin Fan, who was an outsider.
Soon.
Lin Fan gained a general understanding of the Lost Continent.
Next, Lin Fan stopped asking questions and settled down on the Flying Boat. Qin Muqing took care of Lin Fan's daily life very attentively.
...
...
Meanwhile.
In the Lost Continent, at the Extreme North.
Looking around, endless ice fields stretched to the horizon; this place was a world covered with snow and ice, uninhabited for tens of thousands of miles.
Atop a glacier, a cluster of Crystal Light Palaces stood.
Suddenly.
A young girl appeared, followed hurriedly by another girl.
The girl in the lead, dressed in a snow-white fox fur, had a delicate face tender as a baby's, like a Banished Immortal descending to earth. She walked barefoot on the snow, her beauty indescribable except with the word "stunning"!
Moreover.
The girl had an exceptional figure!
Tiny waist, long legs, eyelashes fluttering with the wind, and hair like a waterfall cascading behind her. At a glance, her flawless face had not a single imperfection!
"Princess, please go back. The Son-in-law will come to collect you tomorrow. You are to marry into the human camp; please stop being capricious..." The girl following behind was anxious.
The stunning girl was named Linglong and was a princess of the Dragon Clan!
However.
The Dragon Clan here was not of True Dragons but a branch of Flood Dragons.
The Flood Dragon Clan occupied the Extreme North of the Lost Continent, a frigid place where it's winter all year round, covered by ice and snow.
More importantly, human cultivators dare not venture into the Extreme North!
The Extreme North is a forbidden territory for humans; anyone entering would be slain by the Dragon Clan!
The Princess is to be married tomorrow, yet now, nothing is ready!
"I don't want to get married!" Linglong shook her head.
"But... the Dragon King has decided, you will wed tomorrow, the groom's procession has already encamped on the icy plains ten thousand li away, they will arrive tomorrow, Princess... please don't be capricious..." the young girl hurriedly urged.
"Hmph! Xiaoyun, what is the human world like?" Linglong suddenly asked.
Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, a hint of longing in her eyes: "I've heard that the human world has distinct seasons, with warm springs and blossoming flowers, bright summer days, autumn winds brisk and winter boasting blooming plum trees, even tasting better than our Extreme North!"
"I really want to see the human world!" Linglong said enviously.
"Princess, if you want to see it, that's easy! You're getting married tomorrow, to a Saint Heir no less, then you can see whatever you want!" Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"I will not!"
Linglong resolutely shook her head, "I won't marry! Even if I want to see it, I'll go by myself!"
After speaking, Linglong casually took out something that looked like a crystal ball, trembled it fiercely in the air, and unleashed a terrifying burst of light, nearly enveloping the entire Dragon Palace!
"BOOM!"
Meanwhile.
The entire land of the Extreme North shook violently.
Countless members of the Flood Dragon Clan raised their heads, looking in the direction of the Dragon Palace!
"Dragon Ball?"
"It's the Dragon Ball stirring!"
"What's happening!"
"Let's go. Check it out!"
Innumerable Flood Dragons took to the sky, flying towards the direction of the Dragon Ball.
And at this moment, the Dragon Ball in Linglong's hands emitted an even more dazzling light, shining like the sun itself, splendid to the extreme!
"Princess... the Dragon Ball... what are you going to do?" Xiaoyun's face turned pale with shock.
"Hehe! Xiaoyun, see you later, I'm going out to have fun!" Linglong giggled, a playful expression appearing on her pretty face.
The next second.
Linglong activated the power of the Dragon Ball, tore through the Void, stepped in, and completely disappeared from sight!
...
That very evening, a loud noise suddenly came, startling Lin Fan and Qin Muqing who were inside the cabin.
"Big Brother Lin, what's that sound?" Qin Muqing hurried over.
Lin Fan stood atop the Flying Boat, overlooking below.
He saw a mountain range, thousands of meters tall, suddenly crack and collapse right before his eyes!
Following this.
A Void Rift appeared, and from it flew out a Crystal Light Ball, containing immeasurable terrifying energy, overwhelmingly powerful.
"What is this? Such tremendous power!" Lin Fan's heart stirred, fixating on the luminous ball.
At this moment.
Emperor Jade's voice transmitted into Lin Fan's mind: "This is... a Dragon Ball? Little Fanfan, your luck is way too good! Grab that Dragon Ball, if you absorb it, with the energy inside, your strength will definitely surge to a much higher level!"
"Dragon Ball?" Lin Fan's eyes lit up.
The next second.
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan employed Instant Escape, instantly appearing before the Dragon Ball!
He reached out, fiercely grasping towards the Dragon Ball!
But.
A soft sensation came through, it seemed Lin Fan had not grabbed the Dragon Ball, but another object...
