Xiuxian: I studied abroad in modern times

Chapter 532 The Dragon Lord Discovers the New Legal Framework

"Thank you for informing me, Dragon Lord."

This news is also extremely important to the Nine Mountains Realm.

"What are Sect Leader Zheng's plans?"

"Does the Dragon Lord know the location of the Newborn Sea? How large is it? Are the cultivators there powerful?"

Shuyu Longzhu seemed to feel that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she raised her hand and pulled out a red hairpin from her hair bun, and drew it in the air.

Wow... Wow...

The sound of waves echoed among the people on all four sides.

A breeze stirred in the Heavenly Palace, carrying with it the coolness of the sea.

Looking in the direction the wind came from, one could see that a crescent-shaped crack had appeared in the void where the hairpin tip had just passed.

Through the crack, the seawater was blue-green.

Even the Heavenly Emperor was somewhat surprised.

This move demonstrated his strength; this Jade Dragon Lord was probably even stronger than he had imagined.

As if oblivious to his surprise, the Jade Dragon Lord continued to tap her hairpin, and the sea in the crack stretched further and further away, encompassing an ever-widening expanse.

Finally, they even saw the land coastlines of both the East and West continents.

The Jade Dragon Lord then presented the entire sea area to everyone.

"The so-called newly formed sea area has not actually fully appeared, and there seems to be no way to reach it. I don't know its size, but its location should be in the north and south."

She pointed towards the southernmost and northernmost points of the ocean.

Uncle Pang was puzzled: "Is there no way to get there?"

After thinking for a moment, the Jade Dragon Lord made an analogy: "It's a bit like the four sects' experiences in the underworld."

The explanation was fresh and intuitive, and the Heavenly Emperor understood it immediately.

The space between this newly formed sea area and the Xuanwei Realm is chaotic, and they do not seem to have fully integrated yet.

"How did the Dragon Lord know there were cultivators there?"

"I am blessed by heaven and earth and have a deep connection with the ocean," said the Dragon Lord of Shuyu, "which I perceive more than others."

The people in the hall nodded in agreement, having no doubt about her statement, but they all looked at Zheng Fa.

The meaning is clear: how should we respond to the situation in the sea?
The importance of the sea area to the Nine Mountains Sect is self-evident.

Moreover, promoting the Heavenly River Method, lowering the threshold for cultivating immortality, and even industrializing the cultivation of immortality are all major resource-consuming industries.

The emergence of the new sea area inevitably disrupted some of Jiushanjie's previous plans.

"As the Dragon Lord said, we know very little about those sea areas and the cultivators in them, and we haven't had any direct contact with them yet, so there's no need to rush."

The Heavenly Emperor turned to his Uncle-Master Pang and said, "Uncle-Master, pay close attention to gathering information about the situation in the north and south of the sea. It would be best to send disciples to garrison there."

Uncle Pang cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

"On the other hand, our Nine Mountains Realm already has enough troubles," the Heavenly Emperor said with a frown. "Even if there are new forces, we should remain calm, guard our gates, and avoid causing trouble. We should focus on our own development."

His ideas were rather conservative and passive, but the people of the Nine Mountains Realm understood them immediately.

The elder said, "That makes sense."

There are still a lot of things to be done in Jiushanjie.

Zheng Fa needs to advance his skills.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation could not be digested.

Marine development is also booming and has great potential.

Simply put, they are still in the stage of farming.

In addition, there are formidable enemies like Lu Yao and Leiyin Temple.

There's really no need to stir up trouble.

Let’s take a look at the situation first.

The Jade Dragon Lord came to deliver the message, and the Heavenly Emperor was deeply grateful. He personally acted as her guide and led her to the Azure Dragon Abode.

Qinglong Mansion is home to the Agricultural College, as well as agricultural and animal husbandry laboratories, experimental fields, and pastures.

Upon entering the Azure Dragon Abode, the Jade Dragon Lord's expression changed slightly. As if sensing something, he was no longer the aloof and arrogant man he once was, and his eyes instead showed a hint of impatience.

The Heavenly Emperor glanced at her, chuckled inwardly, and understood her feelings.

The two went straight to an island and entered a courtyard.

Upon entering, the most eye-catching feature is a pond with azure water, brimming with vitality.

On the shore, Jiao Wuji was giving instructions to his disciples, but he didn't see the Heavenly Emperor or the Jade Dragon Lord.

"Head!"

Upon hearing his disciple bow, Jiao Wuji paused for a moment before turning around to look at the two of them.

With just one glance, his knees buckled and he almost knelt down.

Unbeknownst to others, he was a half-dragon, with absolute obedience to the true dragon etched deep within his bloodline.

Furthermore, since the Dragon Lord of Shuyu is the most noble ancient dragon clan and his strength far surpasses his, killing him is about the same as crushing a mudfish.

How could his legs not go weak?

Seeing that the Dragon Lord Shuyu's gaze was not very friendly, she realized that he was not very friendly either.

Jiao Wuji could understand.

The dragon race has always looked down on the Jiao creatures.

Unfortunately, his appearance was too casual, and he had always felt inferior, believing it would offend the Dragon Lord's eyes.

But this only made him more uneasy.

Fortunately, the Dragon Lord didn't seem to care much about him, his gaze sweeping over him before landing on the pond.

"Dragon Lord, you've figured it out?"

The Heavenly Emperor laughed.

The Jade Dragon Lord nodded slightly, his expression excited, yet also somewhat incredulous, as he looked at the Heavenly Emperor, as if waiting for reassurance.

"This project is overseen by Elder Jiao," the Heavenly Emperor said, pushing Jiao Wuji forward. "Why don't we let him introduce it?"

Jiao Wuji's body stiffened, his expression blank, and under the gaze of the Dragon Lord Shuyu, his mind was completely blank.

But he dared not keep the Dragon Lord waiting any longer, so he could only swallow hard and stammer as he explained:
"The Dragon Lord sent three dragon eggs and borrowed some of his true form's cells for research..."

"But that wasn't enough. We also went to the birthplace of the Dragon Lord, inspected it, and simulated its environment in the courtyard..."

“Until last month, we successfully raised fifteen new dragon eggs.”

Jiao Wuji was indeed very familiar with the experimental process. When he spoke of it, he even forgot his fear and talked about it fluently.

"Fifteen?"

"I am nervous," asked the Jade Dragon Lord.

"Fifteen, but only one... showed activity."

Jiao Wuji's expression was quite regretful.

But the Dragon Lord of Shuyu seemed to have been struck by lightning, his whole body trembling. After a long while, he confirmed again, "Really, he's alive?"

"Having activity doesn't guarantee that it will be conceived." Facing the Jade Dragon Lord, Jiao Wuji was very honest and dared not boast at all. "We can only say that it is possible, but whether it will be healthy, we don't know."

Seeing the Dragon Lord Shuyu's somewhat disappointed expression, Jiao Wuji quickly said, "Of course, the possibility is still very high, it's just that we've never raised dragons before..."

"Even if it is unsuccessful, it can lay the foundation for future experiments."

Shuyu Dragon Lord took two deep breaths to calm himself down, and asked nervously, "May I take a look at it?"

How could Jiao Wuji dare to refuse? He beckoned with his hand.

Ripples spread across the pool, gently lifting a dragon egg to their feet.

This dragon egg is taller than a person, made of white jade, and has a radiant sheen.

The eggshell seemed to be breathing, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy in the water.

Lord Shuyu Dragon reached out his hand, but as if afraid of using too much force, he dared not touch her.

"Don't worry, Dragon Lord, this egg is hard and difficult to break even with magical artifacts."

"Ah."

Hearing Jiao Wuji's words, the Jade Dragon Lord nodded gently, appearing rather obedient.

She then placed her palm on the egg, closed her eyes, as if she were talking to the dragon egg.

After a long while, she opened her eyes, her gaze filled with wild joy, but her voice was very low: "Alive! It's alive! It seems to be responding to me." At this moment, where was the arrogant and domineering ruler of the sea?

She opened and closed her eyes repeatedly, finding endless enjoyment in this simple game.

"Why do I feel... that it's connected to me by blood?"

Finally, the Dragon Lord Shuyu noticed something was amiss and asked.

Of course, we are connected by blood.

These dragon eggs, cultivated through genetic engineering, can all be considered the children of the Jade Dragon Lord.

"my child?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Lord looked at the dragon egg again, and his expression shifted from joy to tenderness.

Or rather, she seems to have developed some maternal instincts.

She turned the dragon egg over and over, stroking it for half an hour, before finally placing it in the pool.

The dragon egg sank to the bottom of the water, and the dragon lord gazed at the empty surface of the water, still reluctant to let it go.

"Elder Jiao." She suddenly turned to look at Jiao Wuji, "I wonder when it will be able to hatch?"

“This…” Jiao Wuji thought for a moment, “That depends on how long it took you, Dragon Lord, back then.”

The Jade Dragon Lord nodded and let out a soft breath, saying, "That's at least a thousand years away..."

Her tone was full of eagerness, then she laughed self-deprecatingly: "I've waited for nearly a million years, let alone a thousand, I could wait for ten thousand years."

The Heavenly Emperor looked at her and thought to himself that with this dragon egg, the Dragon Lord Shuyu would probably be more accepting of the Nine Mountains Realm.

You should know that these are not her own kind, but her descendants.

The cultivation systems of the demon race and the demonic sect are somewhat similar, after all, Lu Yao was born a demon emperor.

In other words, descendants can give back to their elders.

Even if the ancient dragon race is somewhat special, the significance of their descendants is probably still very important—just look at the performance of the Jade Dragon Lord just now.

As a result, the connection between the two sides naturally became closer.

The Nine Mountains Sect's influence in the sea area is more secure.

After a moment of silence, the Dragon Lord of Shuyu suddenly bowed deeply to Jiao Wuji, bending his body extremely low.

Jiao Wuji really wanted to kneel down now.

He reached out his hand, wanting to help the Dragon Lord, but dared not.

After Shuyu Dragon Lord stood up, he said to Jiao Wuji, "I entrust my child to you, Elder. I also hope that you will raise more dragon eggs in the future."

"This little demon will do her best, no, she will fight with all her might!"

"Thank you, Elder Jiao. If the ancient dragon race reappears, you will deserve the greatest credit."

"Don't dare!"

The Jade Dragon Lord continued, "In my treasure vault, there is a ten-thousand-year-old Dragon Transformation Grass, and also a Demon Cleansing Pearl..."

Jiao Wuji suddenly looked up.

Dragon Transformation Grass is extremely useful against dragon-type monsters.

The Demon Cleansing Pearl can purify bloodlines, making it an invaluable treasure for demons like Jiao Wuji, whose bloodlines are extremely impure.

Don't say the Dragon Lord has no treasures!

"I understand!"

The Jade Dragon Lord bowed again, turned and stared at the pond for a long time before leaving with the Heavenly Emperor.

Jiao Wuji watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then suddenly stood up, his two human hands piercing his body, his posture extremely arrogant.

"Elder?"

Did you see that?

The disciple asked in bewilderment, "What did you see?"

"The only ancient dragon in Xuanwei bows to me!" Jiao Wuji was smug, practically bursting with pride. "How could those demons who called me a bastard ever imagine that I would have a day like this?"

He was an experiment of the Great Free Demon Ancestor, so his cultivation progressed quickly, but he was quite discriminated against in the sea.

On the one hand, many demons do not recognize his demon identity, believing him to be one of the Demon Ancestor's people, and they all ostracize him.

On the other hand, he also knew that his appearance was a laughing stock.

Even after reaching the level of a deity, his early experiences still made him feel somewhat ashamed of himself.

Only now, with the Dragon Lord Shuyu valuing and even respecting him so much, can he truly stand tall – in terms of noble bloodline, there are almost no demons in the world with a bloodline as noble as the Dragon Lord Shuyu.

He looked at the dragon eggs in the pond and chuckled to himself:
What is noble are the knowledge bestowed by the sect leader! The techniques summarized by Master Qian! The unique Taoist methods of our Nine Mountains Realm!

"You said that once we raise more dragons, the Jade Dragon Lord will be the mother of the Nine Mountain Dragon Clan, but what about me?"

The disciple spoke quickly: "Father of the Nine Mountain Dragon Clan, waaaah..."

Looking in the direction where the Jade Dragon Lord had disappeared, Jiao Wuji broke out in a cold sweat: "I wouldn't dare! I was only responsible for nurturing and hatching these dragon eggs..."

Another disciple chimed in: "I understand, the midwife of the Nine Mountain Dragon Clan."

"..."

The Dragon Lord of Shuyu was not used to being far from the sea, and he did not stay in the Nine Mountains Realm for long. Half a month later, he took his leave.

The Heavenly Emperor personally sent her to the outer realm.

Lord Shuyu said proactively, "I will pay close attention to the situation in those new sea areas."

This Dragon Lord clearly cares more about the Nine Mountains Realm.

This is extremely helpful for them in dealing with changes in the sea area.

"Thank you, Dragon Lord, but please be careful."

"I see."

After bidding farewell to the Heavenly Emperor, the Jade Dragon Lord instantly arrived at the far north of the sea with a thought.

Before me lay a gray, endless fog.

In the mist, spiritual energy stirred up spatial rifts, and only a few strange auras leaked out.

Others might not be able to sense it, but she could perceive it to some extent.

"There are cultivators..." the Jade Dragon Lord murmured, sensing carefully. Suddenly, his body stiffened, and his eyes widened. "An ancient dragon race?"

She was deeply shocked. She tried to sense the aura again and again, but it seemed to be there yet not there.

If she hadn't seen a live dragon egg in the Nine Mountains Realm and gone to examine it every day, becoming very familiar with its aura, she would have thought it was just her imagination.

However, she possesses the cultivation of a true immortal, and her perception in the sea is unparalleled; there is absolutely no way she could mistake her.

Shuyu Dragon Lord stood on the water's surface, gazing at the distant horizon hidden in the mist, his expression conflicted.

……

Zheng Fa had no idea what the Dragon Lord Shuyu had discovered. He organized the "Huangting Jing" and, with a blink of an eye, found himself back in the modern world.

"You mean, taking the *Huangting Jing* as the foundation and the Tianhe Method as the basis, and integrating all the cultivation methods into one framework?"

“Yes.” Zheng Fa nodded. “This advancement will be my last step before I reach the Dao Fruit stage. What I want is not a single cultivation technique, but a complete system.”

Zheng Fa's eyes were much brighter than usual.

“If I only wanted to advance my cultivation level, I could have done it long ago. But the Yellow Court Scripture is more than that, and the Dao of my Nine Mountains Sect is more than that.”

to be honest.

No matter how profound or invincible a martial art is, in his mind it is nothing more than that, far from being considered the Great Dao.

The true path.

It is the Yang Shen technique of the Daoist master.

It is Lu Yao's Dharma Body Dharma.

It is the Heavenly River Dharma of Venerable Heavenly River.

What Zheng Fa needs to do is to be more comprehensive and stronger than them.

Zheng Fa met the old man's gaze with a firm expression:

I have inherited the lineage of Venerable Tianhe.

They might even have to face a formidable enemy like Lu Yao, who has undergone three tribulations and created the Dharma Body Technique.

Even more... they have to deal with the Daoist's schemes.

All he could do was to take the Huangting Jing to the next level, pushing it to a level that was unprecedented and unparalleled, until he created an unparalleled new method.
