Chapter 485: A Soft Hum, the Godly Venerable Annihilated
Chapter 485: A Soft Hum, the Godly Venerable Annihilated
Tian Shadiying had his eyes on Ao Yuxue, choosing her as a pawn in his scheme for unity between heaven and earth. Aside from needing the true dragon's qi as a catalyst, his decision was likely also related to her identity.
"Your status within the True Dragon Clan is rather ordinary, isn't it?" Xu Yan asked thoughtfully.
"Well... my grandfather is the lord of the Dragon Realm, and I'm quite unique. I'm the only Yuxue True Dragon with the power of thunder and ice..." Ao Yuxue replied after some hesitation.
Xu Yan and the others now understood. No wonder she had been chosen. And Tian Shadiying's intentions went deeper than that; he needed to use Ao Yuxue to borrow power from the Dragon Realm, perhaps even plotting something more.
However, plans often go awry. Ao Yuxue had been subdued by Xu Yan! This meant that Xu Yan had disrupted Tian Shadiying's scheme and would undoubtedly attract the attention of powerful beings allied with Tian Shadiying. Moreover, he had also offended the True Dragon Clan.
In the eyes of the True Dragon Clan, this was an intolerable disgrace!
"Why are you able to transform into a human form?" Xu Yan asked, voicing the question that had been on his mind.
It seemed that other spiritual beasts and true spirits were unable to take on human forms, so why could Ao Yuxue? Or, to be more precise, why could the True Dragon Clan?
"It's an innate ability of my True Dragon Clan!" Ao Yuxue replied proudly.
"Master, why can the True Dragon Clan transform into human forms?" When in doubt, it was always best to seek the master's wisdom.
So, Xu Yan asked curiously.
"That little dragon obtained the purple light, keeping a strand of it for the dragon clan, which granted them the ability to transform into human forms," Li Xuan explained with a smile.
Li Xuan had already comprehended the mystery behind the True Dragon Clan's ability to assume human forms. It was simply a result of their progenitor using a strand of purple light on their bloodline, enabling the clan to shape-shift.
The first sentient untransformed true spirit that Tai Cang encountered was a true dragon, and Tai Cang's strength and profound understanding of martial arts left a deep impression on him.
Perhaps this was also why the True Dragon Clan had the ability to transform into human shapes.
"So that's how it is!" Xu Yan and the others finally understood.
Ao Yuxue looked at Li Xuan with curiosity. This master of Xu Yan's seemed incredibly powerful.
Could the "little dragon" he mentioned be the ancestor who founded the True Dragon Clan?
"Do you want to go in and rest?" Xu Yan took out the Yuan Turtle Shell.
"No!" Ao Yuxue shook her head. Although the Yuan Turtle Shell contained a small world within, it was still an enclosed space, not much different from being imprisoned.
"Then find yourself a place to stay. Without permission, you must not leave the Dan Hospital," Xu Yan said, nodding.
"Yes!" Ao Yuxue left, understanding the implication.
Wu Tiannan, Xin Mengrou, and Du Yu'ying also bid their farewells respectfully and departed.
In the end, only the master and his six disciples remained.
Li Xuan felt a sense of relief as his five disciples reunited. It seemed that his efforts in creating the martial arts manual had paid off, and his disciples had finally achieved a level of proficiency.
He was especially proud of his first disciple, Xu Yan, who continued to be a trailblazer in their martial arts journey. Xu Yan was now just half a step away from perfecting the Broken Void realm and not far from reaching the Heaven and Earth realm.
Once he entered the Heaven and Earth realm, with his divine powers and sword techniques, he would have nothing to fear, even when facing a Godly Venerable warrior.
And if he broke through to the pinnacle of the Heaven and Earth realm, even a Supreme Venerable warrior would pose no threat.
"The Establishment of the Dao realm won't be far off, either," Li Xuan said with satisfaction. Reaching the Establishment of the Dao meant transcending the heavens and the earth.
Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Jiang Buling shared their experiences while Li Xuan listened.
"Master, I found these for you in the Sea Spirit Clan's treasure vault," Xu Yan said as he took out treasures he had carefully selected from the clan's collection.
There was a stone canister and a jade slip.
Li Xuan's heart warmed at the sight, and he said, "Your master will gladly accept them." With a wave of his hand, the stone canister and jade slip floated into his palm.
Inside the stone canister were verdant leaves with veins that resembled the principles of the Dao, emitting a subtle aura.
"These tea leaves are extraordinary. They far surpass the spiritual tea we drink nowadays. I wonder if Tianzi will also consider this canister of tea leaves as trash?" Li Xuan mused to himself.
The stone canister was crafted from a unique material not found within the heavens and the earth. One could only find it in the Unformed Land.
The person who made the stone canister was no less than a master of a small realm.
Li Xuan instantly discerned the nature of the canister and its contents with a glance.
The bamboo slip was even more extraordinary, made from bamboo even rarer than the material of the stone canister.
"I've already finished reading the Tai Cang Scripture. Now, I can take a look at this bamboo slip and discover what kind of amazing stories it holds," Li Xuan said with a satisfied smile.
Then, Xu Yan took out treasure after treasure, each one carefully chosen for his junior disciples.
Meng Chong and Jiang Buling felt a bit embarrassed.
"Master, although I managed to get a substantial sum from the Alliance, the treasures I chose are rather ordinary compared to Big Brother's..." Meng Chong said as he took out the treasures he had obtained.
Indeed, the eldest senior brother was the one who understood their master the best. No wonder his strength had always been outrageously powerful. It was because he had gained deeper insights from their master's teachings.
Xu Yan, Meng Chong, and Jiang Buling shared their adventures in the Divine Realm, captivating Fang Hao and Su Lingxiu, who longed to venture out and explore.
"The Qinghua Sect is already on the right track and will only grow stronger. As the leader of the Qinghua Sect in this era of great change in the heavens and the earth, I will surely make a name for myself," Fang Hao said, full of anticipation.
"Hmph, once our elixirs are promoted, who among the Dan physicians would dare not revere me, the Elixir Fairy?" Su Lingxiu said excitedly.
The master and disciples enjoyed each other's company, and as expected, the conversation eventually turned to martial arts.
Li Xuan had already reached the Establishment of the Dao realm, and as a true powerhouse, he effortlessly guided his disciples in their martial arts and divine abilities.
The Divine Martial Manual was nearly perfected, with almost all three thousand divine techniques compiled.
With all his disciples present, it was the perfect opportunity to instruct them in their martial arts.
Xu Yan, the five brothers, respectfully asked their questions about their martial arts dilemmas, and Li Xuan provided insightful guidance to each of them.
The imperial capital of the Great Yue Kingdom had been renamed Qinghua Spirit City and served as the headquarters of the Qinghua Sect.
After a massive expansion, Qinghua City far surpassed the former imperial capital. The original Great Yue Heaven's Pit had been incorporated into the city and had become a significant site for the elixir physician lineage.
Xiao Laotou wandered aimlessly through Qinghua City and unknowingly found himself at the site of the Great Yue Heaven's Pit.
"What is this?" Xiao Laotou exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock.
This place used to be a Heaven's Pit, but now it seemed to have transformed into a furnace.
What shocked him even more was that within the Heaven's Pit, it seemed as if numerous small furnaces had been set up. Martial artists were tossing spirit herbs and divine medicines into them, refining something mysterious.
This method of refinement was like nothing he had ever seen before.
When he saw the elixirs being refined, Xiao Laotou's heart raced. This method of elixir refinement far surpassed the existing techniques used in the Tai Cang realm.
Using the same grade of medicinal ingredients and refining them according to a specific set of rules seemed to bring about a transformation, enhancing the efficacy of the elixirs to more than ten times that of the pills produced by current Tai Cang methods.
Unconsciously, Xiao Laotou drew closer to one of the elixir furnaces, quietly observing the process. With his strength, the Longevity Pavilion's elixir refiners couldn't detect his presence.
Then, Xiao Laotou looked towards the core of the Heaven's Pit and was shocked once again. What used to be an entrance for extraterrestrial enemies, a gateway for the invasion of the Netherworld Realm, had now become a place where extraterrestrial and Netherworld energies gathered, infused with the power of heavenly laws.
They were actually using heavenly laws to fuse extraterrestrial and Netherworld energies and refine a unique type of elixir! And this elixir was incredibly potent, suitable for cultivation by the Immortal Realm and even the Heaven-Uniting Realm warriors.
"What a profound method!" Xiao Laotou exclaimed, deeply impressed.
His wandering mind gradually calmed down.
"The Ancestral Daoist?" he murmured, suddenly understanding the profound meaning and power behind those two words.
"Tai Cang was strong, but he ultimately perished. And there are still unexplored regions in the Unformed Land, so it's not surprising if there are stronger beings out there," Xiao Laotou thought, coming to a realization.
It wasn't unacceptable to think that Tai Cang might be inferior to the Ancestral Daoist.
The Unformed Land was boundless, and who knew what powerful entities lurked within its depths?
Just like the Unformed Temple, which had appeared from somewhere in the Unformed Land and drawn close to the Seven Great Realms.
"Perhaps I should seek guidance from the Ancestral Daoist on how to proceed from here," Xiao Laotou contemplated.
He had already attained the level of a Realm Lord, and in terms of strength, he could easily overpower the weaker lords of the smaller realms.
Of course, those small realm lords, having been blessed by the Opening Heaven's Violet Light, would not be too far behind him in strength, even if they were weaker. They also possessed incredibly strong self-preservation abilities, making them difficult to kill.
What he lacked was the Opening Heaven's Violet Light.
Without it, Xiao Laotou felt that he had reached his limit.
As for becoming the lord of the Tai Cang Realm, that was not going to be an easy task. Tian Sha's schemes were destined to amount to nothing.
Four figures were swiftly approaching Qinghua City across the wilderness, and in an instant, they seemed to have locked onto their target, heading straight for the Dan Hospital.
"Lackeys of Tian Sha?" Xiao Laotou's face darkened as he sensed an opportunity.
It was the perfect chance to kill Tian Sha's underlings, curry favor with the Ancestral Daoist, and gain his goodwill. This way, he could smoothly ask the Ancestral Daoist for guidance.
The thought brought a smile to Xiao Laotou's face.
"Tian Sha, your lackeys have come at just the right time." Xiao Laotou's heart raced with excitement.
With a single step, he concealed his aura and swiftly made his way over, intending to suppress and chastise them for daring to disturb the Ancestral Daoist's peace. Then, he would strike with thunderous force and annihilate them!
But before he could even unleash his aura, a soft hum reached his ears.
"Hum!"
The soft hum was not loud, nor was it directed at Xiao Laotou.
However, Xiao Laotou's scalp went numb, his eyes widened in shock, and he was so startled that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
A slight, dissatisfied hum from the Ancestral Daoist was enough to turn the four arrogant Godly Venerable warriors into ashes in an instant.
It was as if their very existence had been erased from the world!
Gulp!
Xiao Laotou swallowed hard, shocked beyond words and filled with regret. He had missed the perfect opportunity!
He dared not linger in the air any longer, fearing that the Ancestral Daoist might find his presence obstructive and reduce him to ashes with a mere hum.
In a hurry, he landed on the ground and bowed respectfully. "Xiao Laotou is dull and failed to promptly drive away those who disturbed Senior Ancestral Daoist. I am ashamed!"
Li Xuan's face was gentle as he smiled and said, "No need to be ashamed, little friend."
Hearing this, Xiao Laotou felt even more ashamed, and his back bent even lower.
Wu Tiannan, Xin Mengrou, and the others also approached.
The four Godly Venerable warriors had come with overwhelming auras and formidable might, but in front of the Ancestral Daoist, they were less than insignificant!
The Ancestral Daoist!
At that moment, they all felt the weight of that title!
And they understood even more deeply the meaning it encompassed.
