Carefree Path of Dreams

Panda Novel

In the autumn of the 45th year of the Xuan Nation, Xuan faced his demise, and his eldest son succeeded the throne. The Kun tribe dispatched their troops, and the leader, Kun Xie, worshipped the heavens and proclaimed to be king, building a large Kun army to attack the Xuan Nation and officially begin the process of contending for hegemony.

…

Thick Earth City.

The construction skills in this age were still at the stage of building boards, and they mostly utilized two upright wooden boards that were filled with cement on the inside to achieve the effect of a wall.

Despite this, Thick Earth City also had one city wall that was around three meters tall. It was considered to be exceptionally sturdy on the Five Elements Continent.

While guarding the city, the soldiers could see the bottom from a high point, securing a huge advantage.

When the Kun Nation made a mass pledge before dispatching their troops, they chose this location for their first war.

Although the Xuan Nation was huge, destroying Thick Earth City would allow them to progress forward without any risks or danger. They could then attack cities and conquer land along the way, all the way to the Xuan capital!

Kun Xie’s objective was also there!

After all, the countrymen at the moment weren’t very approving of the Xuan Nation. Lately, the allegiance from the merger hasn’t even lasted a few decades, and the traces of the tribes were still very obvious.

A great achievement would be obtained if the crowd of burly men were destroyed within the Xuan capital! The other tribes and cities would have an 80% chance of being defeated, and they would easily achieve the final victory.

Of course, Thick Earth City wasn’t easy to attack at all easy.

Not only does it have a city wall, but there’s also an army of over five thousand people stationed inside led by the Xuan Nation’s Senior General Fei Yun who is well-equipped.

Kun Xie looked at the warriors in his own tribe. There were only a few hundred of them who could put on a suit of armor and be equipped with weapons.

“But this is sufficient!”

Despite this, he still had immense confidence.

This confidence definitely didn’t arise from the soldiers and army from the tribe, but from his own cultivation techniques.

Kaboom!

The war drums sounded, and many Xuan Nation soldiers with high-spirited morale appeared in the Thick Earth City ahead of them.

Conversely, the newly developed Kun Nation army were a little scared.

After all, the previous kingdom’s advantage wasn’t so easy to appease.

“Great King!”

At this moment, the envoy dispatched by Kun Xie arrived, kneeled down on one knee, and reported, “Fei Yun, who is within the city, has refused to surrender, and he claims that he wants to fight til the end!”

“Very good, if he wants to seek death, then I’ll send him there!”

Although he has long known about the other party’s decision, a flash of hostility still flashed across Kun Xie’s eyes.

As he was solely focused on developing the tribe, regardless of what cultivation technique he chooses, he’ll still be more inclined towards the battle array aspect.

“Blare the call, attack!”

He stopped hesitating and gave an order while he took out a talisman.

This talisman was three chi long and seemed to be made from an animal’s skin. The entire talisman was packed with dense and closely spaced runic words written in blood.

Blood-red ripples emitted once it was opened, giving off an air of endless mystery and magic.

“After trying to use thirty animal skins and other precious materials, I finally succeeded in making this. I hope it doesn’t disappoint me…”

Kun Xie thought silently and immediately activated the talisman with a spell. “Spiritual Technique—Tremble the Mountains!”

Zap!

The blood-red animal skins on the talisman transformed into a streak of light and penetrated the wall with an indiscernible speed.

Kaboom!

Afterwards, the earth and the mountains trembled!

The surrounding land shook successively, just like a land dragon flipping its body over, and the huge power of the earthquake descended upon the defenses of Thick Earth City.

This type of architecture, that was created with building planks, was naturally unable to withstand the power and might of nature. It was instantly crushed into pieces, and large cracks appeared everywhere.

Furthermore, accompanying the cheers of the Kun army outside the city, a section of the city wall collapsed and buried all of the soldiers on top, revealing the defenseless city behind it.

“Kill!”

A warrior shouted mightily as he led the other howling soldiers across.

Instantaneously, the entire Thick Earth City descended into a scene of bloodshed and a mountain of dead bodies.

“The spirit of the Five Elementss, listen to my command—Enhance!”

Even at this moment, Kun Xie didn’t abandon his spiritual techniques, and many large enhancement spells landed on the bodies of the Kun nation’s army.

Under the spotlight of a colorful glow, even the lowest-ranking soldier felt that his entire body’s spirit and essence increased hundred-fold, while his physical strength was replenished to an unbelievable state that was saturated with courage.

“This is the power of the spiritual spell!”

Looking at the fall of the previously impenetrable Thick Earth City in half a day, Kun Xie’s fists gradually tightened.

“Relay my orders. Soldiers who surrender will have their lives spared, while the other countrymen have to make a new vow and enter my Kun nation. Those who defy this order will be seen as traitors, and I will take as much as I want, their women, wealth, and resources!”

Being a tribal leader, it was a traditional rule to indulge in plundering a village after defeating the enemy. Even Kun Xie wasn’t willing to break this tradition.

Accompanying his orders, the entire Thick Earth City immediately shifted and transformed into hell.

To the tribal warriors, completely eliminating all the other party’s high-ranking men and plundering slaves and women after achieving victory was the norm.

Although Kun Xie was an extraordinary person, it still required a long time to change this mentality. Furthermore, he didn’t feel that he had any obligation to give preferential treatment to the Xuan nation’s countrymen.

It was just that, with his cultivation, he didn’t realize that a mysterious transformation was currently happening within the city.

Somewhere within a citizen’s house, accompanied by the shrill cries of a woman, red light instantly lit up the room, and an infant tumbled down onto the floor.

His eyes were pitch black, but he didn’t scream or cry, exuding the calmness of an adult.

At this moment, looking at the surrounding area, where there were chaotic sounds coming from the outside and the passed out puerpera on the bed, it was evident that amidst the great confusion within this city, nobody would think about the life or death of this woman.

The infant silently murmured, automatically stood up, and walked for a few steps. The tattoo of a red dragon subtly appeared on his back.

With every step he took, his body automatically elongated a little. After seven steps, he already transformed into the form of a seven-year-old child.

Immediately, the child pointed at the heavens and the ground with one finger and said, “The Golden Pills creation have given birth to a human. I conquer both the Heavens and the Earth… From this point onwards, my name is Li Rubi!”

After a moment, a teenager in a suit carrying a puerpera chased after an ox cart and slowly left the mansion.

“Kill!”

At that moment, there was already chaos on the streets from the Kun nation’s army, and the entire place was full of noise.

“Stop the ox cart in front. Slow down and stop!”

Amidst the shouts, two rebel soldiers jumped out.

Li Rubi immediately kicked twice without even looking.

Bang bang!

Amidst the muffled noises, the two rebel soldiers lay on the ground without any trace of life in their eyes.

“Hehe… Kun nation… Kun Xie… I remember!”

Li Rubi rode the ox cart and slowly left without looking back.

Accompanying the dragon’s transformation, a few memories inside his blood were also awakening inside his mind.

“Even after obtaining the Golden Pills, I’m only a flood dragon, which is still one step away from becoming a real dragon!

“One step away, that is the difference between the Heavens and the Earth!

“Instead, amidst the memories that are inherited, I’ve actually relied on the destiny of the human race in order to complete the technique of the dragon body… This forced me to have no choice but to participate in the war…

“Just from becoming a human emperor and obtaining the three spirits from the Heaven, Earth, and People, for replenishment, I’ll definitely be able to grasp the body of a real dragon!

“Although this body is that of a human, I sealed the body of a flood dragon within it and used moments to substitute years, definitely allowing me to rapidly grow.”

Following the average growth period, it takes at least fifteen to sixteen years to develop the infant body that it has possessed into that of an adult. During this long period, the Five Elements Continent might be reunited once again.

Hence, he had no choice but to use a little help.

The good news was that he was still a flood dragon and that using the form of a human to temporarily hide his identity didn’t require too much effort.

With a little determination and the protection of the Gods, the ox cart safely exited Thick Earth City amidst the wave of refugees and disappeared into the horizon.

…

“Just now, why were you suddenly filled with apprehension?”

On the other side, Kun Xie finally entered Thick Earth City and looked at the well-arranged houses on both sides and inadvertently laughed. “This city is already part of our Kun nation!”

“King! King!!”

Many Kun warriors cheered together. Their thought process was very simple—they only approved those who brought victory or benefits to themselves.

However, even though he enjoyed the cheers, the unsettling feeling in his heart was still there.

“In the Xuan nation, Xuan has died, and his son is busy with many matters and doesn’t currently pose much of a fearful threat to me. Peng has already gone to a faraway place, so who is still present to stop me?”

Kun Xie silently thought and immediately broke into laughter, feeling that it was such a pointless concern.

“Peng hesitates to be my enemy, and those people like Li and Shi either have no fixed abode, or they’re under my command. What else do I have to fear?”

He grinned and said, “The reason why teacher taught me the spiritual spell was to get me to promote it and conquer the Xuan nation—to become the actual king and fulfill this noble ambition.

“I fight for my teacher. What mutant dares to block me?”

Unfortunately, he wasn’t aware that the confidence that he thought he had, in reality, didn’t have much power as a deterrence.

…

Xuan nation capital.

After consecutive waves of chaos, Zhang relied on the Xuan’s prior painstaking arrangements and the backups that he had left behind to barely maintain the situation within the capital—worship the heavens and proclaim oneself as king.

Unfortunately, his abilities were only considered to be average, and for this newly elected king, a serious challenge had already arrived.

After barely stabilizing the situation within the capital, Zhang immediately received news of the rebellion by the Kun tribe and their breach of Thick Earth City.

This young king was instantly engulfed in a state of panic. “Teacher Peng seemed to have mentioned before that he wasn’t the only Immortal Cultivator in the realm. Kun Xie of the Kun tribe was also previously rumoured to be one of them!”

Thinking about Peng’s magical abilities, there was slight anxiousness in Zhang’s heart.

Compared to his father, Zhang had never eaten any exotic plants or magical fruits, and he had never experienced the numerous backstabs and politics while the state was being founded. Now that he was just newly elected and had faced consecutive challenges, it was inevitable that he would feel a lack of confidence.

At this moment, beautiful person in the palace walked up slowly and spoke like orchids, “Do not worry, King. I, a concubine, have previously met with a few mutants and am willing to recommend them to you, to allay your worries!”

“Oh, beautiful lady, why didn’t you say so earlier!”

Zhang instantly rejoiced.

Ever since the giant beast era, the exotic plants and magical fruits in the realm seemed to have disappeared without a trace. He didn’t expect this pretty lady to actually have such a background and have connections with mutants.

“Let them come quickly. I’m willing to bow and regard them as my teacher!”

Thinking of the rain-battered rivers and mountains, Zhang unhesitantly made a promise.

“On behalf of them, I thank you, King!”

This beautiful lady bowed, and the smile on her lips carried a trace of seductiveness and craftiness.

In her heart, a thought flashed past. “The human race is indeed bestowed with particularly favorable conditions. In order for us demons to conquer the Heavens and the Earth, we definitely need to cause internal friction between the human race. Furthermore, the other side is actually still that Kun Xie!”

The spiritual spells of the ancient Gods in the beginning and the appearance of those humans, were fully remembered by the demon tribes and, to a greater extent, were the key things to take caution of!
