The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 338 Guigu Refining the True Dragon, the Wonderful Use of the Emperor's Scripture
"The Imperial Seal... a treasure?"

The imperial concubine was skeptical.

Can any treasure, no matter how big, be compared to the entire palace? Now that they are abandoning even the palace, what is the use of having more treasure?

Perhaps it was the suspicious look that hurt him, and Emperor Qinglong snorted coldly.

"My beloved concubine, do you know the origin of this imperial seal?"

"I heard that it was passed down by our Great Jing Taizu, and it symbolizes the destiny of heaven."

Emperor Qinglong shook his head and smiled, saying: "In fact, this imperial seal was not passed down by Taizu, but was passed down from Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty thousands of years ago."

The imperial concubine was shocked. She didn't expect that this imperial seal had such an ancient history.

"It is said that this jade seal was made from precious jade collected from the immortal mountain by the Great Zhou Emperor Taizu. The immortal master Guigu personally carved the eight characters 'Received the mandate from heaven, long life and prosperity', implying that the imperial power is sacred and solemn, and will last forever."

“But Master Guigu soon discovered that there is no dynasty in this world that will never decline. No matter how magnificent an era is, it will eventually decline, go downhill, and eventually fall.”

Having said this, Emperor Qinglong seemed to think of his current situation.

The Dajing Kingdom lasted for 500 years and was once prosperous, but when it came to him, it was a mess. Officials were corrupt, noble families were fighting for power, there were foreign barbarians causing chaos, demons were causing trouble at home, all industries were in decline, and the people were living in misery.

What can he do?
The luck has run out and the building is about to collapse. How can one person turn the tide?
So even though he had great ambitions, he could only muddle through, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, otherwise even he, the emperor, might die a violent death.

"But Master Guigu is the greatest person in history, the legendary imperial master. He actually wants to fight against the heavens, change this rule, and establish an immortal and prosperous dynasty!"

"This...how is this possible?"

The imperial concubine found it a little hard to believe. Although she did not understand spiritual practice or state affairs, she knew that there had been no dynasty that lasted forever since ancient times.

"I also thought it was impossible at the time and just regarded it as a legend until someone discovered the tomb of the Great Zhou Taizu and found many precious ancient books from there."

"Ancient books say that Guigu Immortal Master did something earth-shattering at that time."

"What earth-shattering move?"

"Slay the dragon."

Emperor Qinglong's eyes suddenly became hot, revealing an excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"He slaughtered all the real dragons in the world, used the immortal cauldron as a furnace, and refined the real dragons in the world for his own use. He wanted to break the shackles of heaven and earth and make the dragon veins of the Great Zhou Dynasty last for thousands of years and never decline!"

It was when he saw this that Zhang Jiuyang felt a strong wave of emotions in his heart.

The first thing he thought of was the fairy palace on Penglai Island, where the Jade Ding Palace’s treasured tripod was placed.

He had seen countless dragon corpses in the cauldron.

At that time, Zhang Jiuyang suspected that the dragon clan became extinct in the human world because they all died in the cauldron?

And the amazing traces of battle on the Penglai Island, could it be that the Immortal Master Guiguzi was fighting against all the dragons back then?
He seemed to see some truth.

But there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, such as why the dragon clan became extinct in the end and why the Immortal Master Guiguzi also disappeared?

And that fairy palace, was it also built by the Immortal Master Guiguzi?
Why did he leave the tripod in the fairy palace?
"Did he succeed?"

The imperial concubine was completely attracted by this secret.

"Fool, of course it failed, otherwise how could there be our Great Jing Dynasty?"

Emperor Qinglong shook his head and smiled, then continued, "Ancient books say that just when Immortal Guigu was about to succeed, the heavens became angry and sent down a catastrophe."

"What catastrophe?" "Nine ghost kings rushed out from the underworld, leading thousands of evil ghosts to wreak havoc on the human world. Immortal Guigu was unable to do anything at the time, and could only watch helplessly as the human race was slaughtered."

"The Great Zhou Taizu was wise and brave. He led his soldiers in bloody battles, but in the end he could not stop millions of evil spirits. Not only did his generals die one after another, but he himself also died on the battlefield."

“Almost all of Guigu Immortal Master’s disciples died in the battle. The only one who survived was Master Zixiao, the founder of Feixian Cave. But he only managed to hold on. After he passed down the Purple Thunder Book, he also died.”

"It was not until the advent of the Ming King that the calamity that nearly destroyed the entire human race was finally quelled."

Speaking of that legendary and tragic history, even Emperor Qinglong sighed.

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved and he showed a look of sudden realization.

That's it!

Huangquan's current location is Mount Yanfu, which was the place where the ten ghost kings formed an alliance to attack the human world. However, one ghost king betrayed his loyalty and chose to stay.

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly thought of the Lord of the Underworld.

Could it be that the current Lord of the Mansion is the Ghost King who betrayed his oath and did not fight in the human world?

"The Great Zhou's founder died, and the human world suffered a great loss. And the Immortal Master Guigu disappeared for some unknown reason. No one has seen him since then. However..."

Emperor Qinglong raised the imperial seal in his hand with a fiery look in his eyes.

"Ancient books say that Master Guiguzi did not fail completely. He sealed all the dragon energy he obtained from refining the world's true dragons into this imperial jade seal, so this item would not be lost during the thousands of years of inheritance."

"The new ruler of the world will always obtain this item by chance, and then, as if with divine help, he will unify the country and create a prosperous era!"

A strange look flashed in Zhang Jiuyang's eyes.

He had heard from Yue Ling that the imperial seal had been lost. In order to suppress the fortune, after the founding of the Daqian country, a Jiuzhou Ding was specially built to imitate the fairy Ding in the Yuding Palace.

If the imperial seal was still there, there would be no need to do this.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Since the Imperial Seal is still in Your Majesty's hands, it means that you are still destined to be with God, and your great prosperity is not over yet!"

The imperial concubine's voice was very excited, but she did not notice the embarrassment that flashed across Emperor Qinglong's face when he heard this.

"Ahem, my beloved concubine, the most important thing is, if I can obtain the dragon energy contained in this imperial seal, I will be able to live forever and be invincible, and my Dajing will be able to regain its glory!"

"Your Majesty, how do we obtain this dragon energy?"

"This is also what has been bothering me. Ancient books say that Master Guigu hid the dragon energy in the seal and cast a spell to seal it. Unless you have a higher level of cultivation than him, you cannot forcibly absorb the dragon energy."

The imperial concubine was startled, and her eyes suddenly dimmed.

Although she did not practice cultivation, she had heard of the name of Guiguzi Immortal Master, the great master who created the way of immortality, the founder of Yuding Palace, and the undisputed number one person throughout history.

In this way, the dragon energy can only be seen but not touched.

"But the ancient books also say that after Guigu Xianshi sealed the dragon energy, he also left a special key, a key that can open the jade seal and obtain the treasure."

"Over the years, I seem to have been enjoying luxury and building various palaces, but in fact I have been sending people to look for that special key. Now I have found some clues."

"Your Majesty, what exactly is that key?"

"It's a book called...The Imperial Scripture."
