Chapter 481: The Celestial Way of the Wilds, Dragon-Subduing Turbulence

Chapter 481: The Celestial Way of the Wilds, Dragon-Subduing Turbulence

A stone suddenly transformed into a human figure. This exceeded Xu Junhe's comprehension, even though he was not far from the realm of divine powers. He couldn't fathom what kind of ability could bring about such a change.

Amidst his shock, he also felt a sense of vigilance.

"Don't panic. I am the Celestial Way of the Wilds, guided by the Dao Ancestor himself!"

Tianzi tried to put on a solemn expression.

The Celestial Way of the Wilds?!

Xu Junhe's heart trembled, and although he didn't understand what the Celestial Way of the Wilds was, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the other party had probably become a Celestial Way under the guidance of a senior.

"So it's the Celestial Way of the Wilds!"

Xu Junhe bowed respectfully.

The concept of the Celestial Way flashed through his mind, and he was even more amazed by the capabilities of the senior.

"As the Celestial Way of the Wilds, I find the strength of the Wilds lacking. Thus, I require your help, Canglan Island, to accomplish something!"

Tianzi spoke carefully, weighing his words.

"What needs to be done?"

"Venerate the Celestial Way! Those who comprehend the Celestial Way will experience accelerated cultivation and enlightenment in the martial path, making cultivation easier..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Junhe nodded and said, "No problem!"

These were minor matters. Since this person had become the Celestial Way with the guidance of a senior, he was one of them.

Moreover, this Celestial Way was somewhat mysterious!

"This Canglan Island is a bit small. A sacred site should look the part."

Tianzi took a step onto Canglan Island.

"It is indeed a bit small, but this island is rather unique."

Xu Junhe replied helplessly.

"Small issues," Tianzi laughed. "These are minor problems in the eyes of this Celestial Way."

Just then, Xu Junhe was astonished to find that Canglan Island was growing larger. In an instant, it transformed into a gigantic island, and the corresponding section of the Cang River where Canglan Island was located turned into a vast lake with rippling blue waves.

The Cang River remained the Cang River, with one difference: the section where Canglan Island was located had become a lake, and the downstream of the Cang River continued to flow out from the other end of the lake.

This transformation was completed in a short time.

The people on Canglan Island were dazed for a moment, only to be shocked by the drastic changes that had occurred.

The ships sailing on the Cang River and the martial artists on them suddenly found themselves on an unfamiliar river. When they looked up, the sacred site of Canglan Island was nowhere to be seen.

"Look, how did the downstream turn into a lake? We were just on the Canglan Island section of the Cang River. What happened?"

"Could it be that we've entered the Spirit Realm?"

"Impossible. I'm on the Cang River, and I haven't crossed the Spirit Realm Gate. How could I be in the Spirit Realm?"

"Where did the sacred island go?"

The martial artists on the ships were filled with astonishment.

"Let's go and take a look!"

Several Martial Ancestor-level martial artists took to the sky, flying in the direction of where Canglan Island used to be.

As they traveled, soaring over the rippling lake, they finally spotted a small black dot in the center of the lake.

As they drew closer, they realized that it seemed to be Canglan Island!

However, it had undergone tremendous changes compared to their memories.

The island now boasted towering peaks, and what used to be a small island had transformed into a gigantic one.

Yet, if one looked closely at the island's silhouette, they could still discern the shape of Canglan Island.

On Canglan Island, Xu Junhe was hosting Tianzi and couldn't help but be amazed. This was the power of the Celestial Way—with a single thought, one could reshape the heavens and the earth!

With the dramatic transformation of Canglan Island, the Wilds also embarked on a journey of metamorphosis.

Soon after, the sacred site of Canglan Island in the Wilds, the Martial Arts Academy of the Wilds, and the Cabinet of the Wilds jointly promulgated the concept of venerating the Celestial Way and comprehending it. Martial artists who comprehended the Celestial Way could gain enlightenment in the martial path and break through bottlenecks more easily.

In their spare time from cultivation, martial artists of the Wilds began to contemplate the Celestial Way. Some former Inner Domain martial artists achieved enlightenment through this contemplation, swiftly completing their martial path transformation and stepping onto the path of martial arts in the Wilds.

In a short period, the strength of the Wilds visibly soared.

Tianzi was overjoyed.

"The Celestial Way of the Dao Ancestor is indeed profound and powerful. I can become stronger just by lying down. The shackles on my body will be completely broken soon.

"What Taicang couldn't do, I, Tianzi, can. You guys just wait, including those from the Unchanging Temple who are secretly watching me!"

This was his world!

"Taicang is dead. The Wilds shall rise. I am the Celestial Way of the Wilds, and those who offend my authority shall be severely punished!"

Tianzi's heart raced with excitement.

The Wilds was entering a stage of explosive growth in strength. The grades of spirit medicines were improving, and more heavenly treasures were appearing, making cultivation faster for martial artists.

In no time, the concept of martial artists cultivating and comprehending the Celestial Way had taken root.

The existence of the Celestial Way in the Wilds was recognized by all living beings.

"You're all quite the troublemakers, but this world doesn't belong to you. Kneel and call me, Grandfather Celestial Way!"

Tianzi looked toward the location of the Divine Realm and coldly sneered in his heart.

Furthermore, the Tai Cang Book left behind by Tai Cang, while capable of nurturing someone to become the new master, also required his recognition. Otherwise, as the spirit of the heavens and earth, he could keep a balance of power.

"It's about time to make some arrangements in the Spirit Realm as well."

Tian Zi murmured to himself.

Currently, the scope of the Great Wilderness only extended to the Inner Domain, which was the smallest of the three.

With the Great Wilderness' strength rapidly increasing, Tian Zi bided his time until the opportune moment to spread the heavenly path's rules to the Spirit Realm, then to the Divine Realm, and eventually, encompass the entire heavens and earth.

...

In the Divine Realm, the tremors of the heavens and earth persisted.

Qinghua Zong, however, remained unaffected. Da Yue Huang and the others still felt a sense of pressure and were tirelessly cultivating to enhance their strength.

Fang Hao was also enhancing the grand formation of Qinghua Zong, while Su Lingxiu was utilizing the Heavenly God Furnace to improve her cultivation.

Within the Nine Mountains, the demons' influence was growing. An increasing number of immortal beasts from various parts of the Divine Realm were gathering there.

Chi Mao looked at Feng Ling Hu and said, "The position of the Demon King has already been decided. Although you don't have a place as a Demon King, I won't treat you unfairly. I appoint you as a Demon Commander, and I'll assign you twelve Demon Generals!"

"No, little brother..."

Feng Ling Hu felt uncomfortable.

"How dare you!"

But before he could finish his sentence, a roar interrupted him.

"The dignity of the Demon King is not something you can casually address as 'little brother.' You are offending our great Demon King. What punishment do you deserve?"

Several of the earliest spirit beasts to pledge allegiance to Chi Mao were quick-witted and immediately jumped out to reprimand Feng Ling Hu.

Feng Ling Hu's face turned black.

However, at this moment, the auras of the other demon generals surged, as if they were about to take action against him at any moment.

Feng Ling Hu felt a surge of crisis at this moment. If so many demon generals took action, he would not be their match. By now, Feng Ling Hu also knew that he could no longer be their leader.

The entire Divine Realm was currently in a state of unrest, and the great transformation of the heavens and earth had arrived. Moreover, his escape from Long Yuan would surely attract Tian Shi Qi's attention once the news spread.

Only within the demon race could he find a place to stay.

Chi Mao was strong! So strong that Feng Ling Hu's heart trembled. That formidable tiger aura truly carried the might of a tiger king; no tiger tribe spirit beast in the world could defy Chi Mao's tiger king aura.

And Chi Mao was not just the king of the tiger tribe, but also the founder of the demon race and the Demon King!

Looking at Yu Xiao Long and Xiao Ha, Feng Ling Hu acknowledged that the three great Demon Kings were indeed stronger than him, and there was no place for him among them.

The ways of the demon race were also something Feng Ling Hu desperately needed. He had to become stronger to face the impending crisis and even take revenge on Tian Shi Qi!

"Your subordinate pays respect to the Great Demon King!"

At this moment, Feng Ling Hu submitted.

"Good! Good! There's no need to be so formal between us. Starting today, you are the Demon Commander, Feng Ling!"

Chi Mao said with great joy.

"Yes, thank you, Great King!"

Feng Ling replied solemnly.

Chi Mao descended from the platform and asked, "I heard that there are twelve spirit beast kings in the Divine Realm. Now that you're here, where are the other eleven spirit beast kings?"

The twelve spirit beast kings were the strongest among the spirit beasts in the Divine Realm.

Chi Mao intended to gather the twelve demon commanders.

"The Flood Dragon, who was originally in Long Yuan, was tricked by Tian Shi Qi, and I don't know where he was deceived. As for the other beast kings, they each have their own territory and are very proud. I'm not sure where they are right now."

Feng Ling Hu shook his head and replied.

"Then spread the word. The position of Demon Commander in the demon race is open, and it's first come, first served!"

Chi Mao said with a faint smile.

Within the Tai Miao Divine Sect, in that pavilion, Xin Mengrou respectfully knelt before the statue.

"Tian Sha has great ambitions, but wanting to seize the authority of the heavens and earth is still too presumptuous."

A dreamlike female voice echoed from the statue.

"You've cultivated well. When the Divine Realm and the Spirit Realm are connected, come to the Tai Miao Realm in the Spirit Realm."

"Yes, Ancestor!" Xin Mengrou replied reverently.

"The descent of a true dragon is no small matter, and the True Dragon Clan has a deep heritage. The disappearance of that little dragon has caused quite a stir, and the subjugation of the dragon is a great humiliation for the True Dragon Clan.

"The True Dragon Clan will definitely seek revenge. Besides them, other forces in various realms will likely covet the dragon-subduing technique.

"Be especially wary of Tian Sha. This person has great ambitions and acts without scruples. He will likely be the first to make a move to obtain the dragon-subduing technique. If he has a backer, find someone to protect you as soon as possible. The news of the Divine Realm has already reached the Spirit Realm."

The statue's voice was cold and emotionless, always sounding like a dream.

Xin Mengrou was puzzled. With the Spirit Realm's ladder broken, how did the various realms in the Spirit Realm learn about Xu Yan's dragon-subduing technique in such a short time?

"Tai He, Da Yan, and Tai Kun all have channels of communication with the Dao Domain. It's natural that news from the Divine Realm would be transmitted to them."

The statue explained.

Xin Mengrou suddenly realized why the ancestor was curious about the dragon-subduing technique—it turned out that some major powers had already used special channels to spread the information to various factions in the Dao Domain.

"There should be Godly Sovereign realm warriors in the Divine Realm, otherwise, this wouldn't be possible. You should be careful, Tian Sha will likely make his move soon."

The statue warned.

"Thank you for the reminder, Ancestor!"

Xin Mengrou's heart trembled. Although that senior was incredibly powerful and might have given Xu Yan some means of protection, it was still necessary to be cautious.

"Go now!"

"Yes!"

Without delay, Xin Mengrou went to find Xu Yan and informed him that the news of the dragon-subduing technique had spread throughout the Dao Domain and the impending crisis it might cause.

"A Godly Sovereign warrior?"

Xu Yan fell into deep thought, thinking of Tian Shi Qi.

"It's fine, it's a minor matter. Besides, that old man is even stronger."

Xin Mengrou was taken aback.

Outside the Tai Miao Divine Sect, Meng Chong, Jiang Buling, and Wu Tiannan arrived.

"Xin Mengrou, it's been a long time since we last met."

Wu Tiannan looked at Xin Mengrou with a sigh, feeling nostalgic for the days when she was still a young girl, and now she had progressed so far, even surpassing him.

"Dean Wu, you're still keeping up with us,"

Xin Mengrou smiled happily, having long let go of past grievances, and was glad to be reunited with old friends.

"Dean Wu, have you found the person you were looking for?"

Xin Mengrou asked curiously.

Wu Tiannan shook his head with a hint of disappointment.

The group gathered at the Tai Miao Divine Sect, and Meng Chong and Jiang Buling looked at Xu Yan with curiosity, "Big Brother Xu, where's the true dragon?"

"Here!"

Xu Yan waved his hand, and Ao Yuxue, who was inside the Primordial Turtle's Shell, appeared before them.

Looking at the beautiful girl with two small horns on her head, Meng Chong and Jiang Buling were stunned. They circled around her, their faces filled with disbelief, "She's the true dragon?"

Xu Yan nodded, "That's right, she's a female dragon, and she's not fully mature yet."

Ao Yuxue stomped her feet in anger, "Must you call me a female dragon?"

"Then, little mother dragon?"

Xu Yan thought for a moment.

"You...!"

Ao Yuxue's eyes turned red, and she was on the verge of tears.

"I'm a dragon princess, okay? My true dragon clan is not like those spirit beasts, we don't use such terms!"

She corrected indignantly.

"Big Brother Xu, is this what a true dragon looks like?"

Meng Chong scratched his head, feeling perplexed.

"I heard that true dragons aren't supposed to look like this,"

Jiang Buling nodded in agreement, "I've read some records in the Jiang family's ancient books, and true dragons aren't supposed to look like humans with two small horns."

Xu Yan raised his hand and pinched one of Ao Yuxue's small horns, "She's taken on a human form."

He then instructed Ao Yuxue, "Show them your true dragon form so that they can see what a true dragon looks like."

Ao Yuxue's face turned red with anger and indignation, feeling like she was being treated as a display. "I won't!"

She stubbornly shook her head.

"Hmph!"

Xu Yan snorted coldly, "You are the dragon I subdued, how dare you disobey me?"

Ao Yuxue felt the tiny golden dragon in her heart stir, and she immediately became fearful, "Fine, I'll show them my true form, stop being so aggressive!"

Roar!

Accompanied by a dragon's roar, a pristine white true dragon soared into the sky, spiraling in the air.

"So this is a true dragon!"

Meng Chong and Jiang Buling exclaimed in awe.

"Big Brother Xu, does this mean that Yuxiao has a chance to become a dragon too?"

Meng Chong suddenly thought of Yuxiao, the little flood dragon.

"Probably,"

Xu Yan couldn't be sure.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Ao Yuxue descended from the sky and transformed back into her human form.

However, her face was much paler than before, indicating that her injuries from before were not light.

"I'm going back to rest now!"

Xu Yan recalled Ao Yuxue back into the Primordial Turtle's Shell.

"Let's return to the Qinghua Realm, it's time to seclude ourselves and improve our strength."

Xu Yan suggested.

"Yes, with the upheaval in the Divine Realm, powerful warriors from the Dao Domain will soon arrive. We should take this time to enhance our cultivation,"

Meng Chong agreed.

"Dean Wu, shall we go together?"

Xu Yan smiled and looked at Wu Tiannan.

"Sure!"

Wu Tiannan nodded.

"Xu Yan, we also wish to pay our respects to the senior and visit Lingxiu as well. We miss her,"

Du Yuying and Yun Miaomiao spoke up.

"What about you, Xin Mengrou?"

Xu Yan turned to her.

"Wait a moment, I'll go bid farewell to the ancestor, and I'd like to seek guidance from the senior regarding some of my doubts about the martial path,"

Xin Mengrou thought for a moment and replied.
