The Heavens: Man Covers the Heavens, Refines Treasures to Become an Emperor

Chapter 41 Dragon Slaying News
It has been four months since the battle of Wushuang City that shocked warriors all over the world, but the topic of that battle has become more and more popular.

They discovered that they knew too little about this world. Five martial arts legends that had not appeared for a hundred years suddenly appeared.

Especially since the other four were all defeated by Jiang Xuan's sword, it was truly horrifying.

Is this still the Shenzhou martial arts world that they are familiar with?
On this day, a piece of news came out from Wushuang City.

"The old swordsman of Wushuang City invites Jiang Xuan, the leader of Tianxiahui, to slay the dragon in seven days, share the dragon essence, and share immortality."

As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

"The dragon... is it the legendary auspicious dragon?"

"I remember now. On the day of the decisive battle, the old Sword Saint once said that he had obtained the opportunity of the Divine Dragon to extend his life. Could it be that the Sword Saint had come into contact with the Divine Dragon earlier?"

“It is rumored that the Sword Saint was in seclusion more than ten years ago. Now, he is nearly a hundred years old, but judging by his fighting prowess, he does not look old at all.

Countless martial artists were shocked, and they came to a conclusion.

The old sword master only got some marginal opportunities to extend his lifespan, but the dragon essence can really make people immortal.

The entire Chinese martial arts world was in an uproar.

……

"Long Yuan, I have lived for two thousand years before I figured out that a divine dragon appears every six hundred years and will appear on a day of great auspiciousness. How did the Sword Saint know this?"

"Besides, there are still more than ten years before the day of the auspicious event. The dragon has not yet appeared in the world. How can we slay the dragon?"

"But the Sword Master did extend his lifespan, it can't be fake. Could it be that the dragon slaying incident was true? Did the Sword Master have another way to make the dragon appear in the world?"

"Why do you want to attract the attention of the dragon? Isn't it better to die peacefully? Why do you want to steal the power that doesn't belong to you? Isn't it better for me to wait until the auspicious time to slay the dragon and live forever alone?"

In an ice cave in Tianmen, Emperor Shitian sat high on the ice throne, muttering to himself, sometimes angry, sometimes confused. He was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks, and was confused about the news reported by his subordinates.

"Pass the order down, keep a close eye on the movements of Tianxiahui and Wushuang City, and report any disturbances to me immediately."

……

In the Sou Shen Palace, the immortal Bu Jingyun was lying on his side in the warm tent.

"There are dragons in the world that can make people immortal?"

"In this case, I can put the body of my tribe aside for now."

"This divine dragon essence, I am determined to obtain it. Anyone who stands in my way will die..."

It was like a cold voice coming from the deep cold hell. He longed for the young body too much. That body full of vitality and endless energy was so fascinating.

……

Mount Fuji in Japan.

A king wearing a crown stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, letting the cold wind blow his robe. He did not move at all, with an indelible sadness in his eyes. He looked into the distance to the east, wondering what he was thinking.

This person is none other than the contemporary emperor of Japan, Kazuo Jimmu, later known as Emperor Shomu.

suddenly.

In the distance, a golden figure came leaping over from the foot of the mountain. Its speed was second to none in the martial arts world, and it was in front of him in a few breaths.

"Zeunosuke pays respect to the Emperor."

He said he was meeting you, but in fact he just clasped his hands together and his expression seemed to be half-smiling. In addition, his face looked like an eagle, giving people the feeling that he was pretending to obey but actually disobeying.

The man who came was Jue Wushen of Wushen Jue Palace, whose original name was Jue Zhijie. He always wanted to invade Central Plains and become the overlord of Central Plains. After being frightened away by Wuming's sword, Jue Wushen returned to Japan.

Juezunosuke believed that there was absolutely no God in this world, so he changed his name to Juezunoshen. Juezunoshen usually liked to let the statues of God kneel down to worship him in order to show his own power.

"No need to be polite. I summoned you today. I'm sure you have guessed the reason."

Shenwu Yifu turned around slowly, his eyes dim.

"The spies have sent news that the old swordsman from Shenzhou will soon join hands with Jiang Xuan, the leader of the Tianxia Association, to slay a dragon. There are ancient records of creatures like dragons in Japan. Legend has it that they can make people immortal. Although we don't know whether it's true or not, as long as there is a slight possibility, we must seize this opportunity."

Hearing Shenwu Yifu's words, Jue Wushen could not hide the heat in his heart.

Live forever!
Who in the world does not desire immortality? Throughout history, countless emperors and generals have sought immortality but failed to achieve it. Shenwu Yifu's words touched his heart.

If he could obtain the legendary Dragon Essence, not to mention the throne of the Emperor of Japan that he had always coveted, he could also sit on the throne of the Divine Land, which is as treacherous as a den of dragons and tigers.

Over the years, whether it was him, Jue Wushen, or the emperors of successive dynasties, they all had a strong desire to covet the rich land of China.

Emperor Shozei several decades ago, and his emperor Wushen Juegong several years ago, both led their armies to invade Shenzhou. They both returned in defeat, and Emperor Shozei's body was locked in the Lingtian Pagoda in Shijiabao, Shenzhou, to warn Japan not to invade Shenzhou again.

If what their spies left in Shenzhou said was true, and the dragon really existed, then everything would be possible as long as he could seize the dragon essence.

"The Emperor invited me here today. I'm sure he has something to discuss with you. I'll just speak frankly."

Jue Wushen said coldly that his martial arts were not inferior to Shenwu Yifu, and even the emperor had to be wary of his army. He was the overlord of Japan and was too lazy to pretend to be fawning.

"Okay, then I'll be frank. My ambition is to gain the Dragon Yuan. I hope you and I can join forces and plot against the Dragon Yuan together."

Shenwu Yifu looked at Jue Wushen with scorching eyes. On the day of slaying the dragon, there will surely be several martial arts legend-level masters fighting against each other. How difficult will it be to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?

He has not reached the mythical level, and only by joining forces with Jue Wushen can he have a chance of winning the Dragon Essence.

Jue Wushen's eyes were shaken, and he snorted coldly:
"If we really win the Dragon Essence, how will you and I divide it?"

"Ancient books record that the essence of divine beasts can be divided into multiple parts. I think the same is true for dragon essence. If you take the dragon essence, you and I will split it equally."

Shenwu Yifu made a promise at this time that if they could really gain something, there would be no harm in splitting it equally between the two of them.

"Even if I join forces with the Emperor, the possibility of winning the Dragon Essence is slim."

"I know that the one who will participate in the dragon slaying must be a martial arts legend. Jiang Xuan is far superior to ordinary legends. The sword suppressing the legend is just ordinary. You and I joining forces to say that there is a slight possibility is an exaggeration, but Jue Wushen, are you willing to accept it?"

Shenwu Yifu asked Jue Wushen in a flat tone.

"..."

Jue Wushen was silent, his eyes flickering, for a long time.

"Okay, I will join hands with the Emperor, and we will definitely seize the Dragon Essence on this trip, laying the foundation for you and me to unify China and strive for immortality."

……

In the East China Sea, on an unknown deserted island.

The waves crashed against the shore, and the violent waves raised waves hundreds of feet high. The eagle flew in the sky, hovering above the waves, and from time to time it caught a sea fish that was washed ashore.

call! Wow!
A large group of eagles suddenly flapped their wings in panic and flew away quickly into the distance, as if they had encountered some ferocious beast.

call!
A small cave on a deserted island.

Thunder-like vibrations emanated from the cave and spread in all directions.

As he got closer, he saw an old man with no hair on his head and long beard. He kept shining a mysterious light into a mirror. As the mirror shook, a familiar scene appeared. The old man's expression changed drastically, and he looked angry. His strong energy could not be suppressed and spread to the surroundings.

"The great calamity of the millennium was caused by these two rebellious sons..."

Suddenly a feeling of frustration surged in his heart. For four thousand years, he had been concerned about China and had made it his responsibility to prevent the great catastrophe. He had never expected that two of the ten demons in this great catastrophe would be his two sons.

This person is none other than Xiao Sanxiao, a remarkable man in the world, with the blood of a dragon turtle flowing in his body, and he enjoys immortality.

His eyes were full of vicissitudes as he looked at the round, ancient mirror in front of him.

This is a mirror of the heart obtained from a great monk in the martial arts world. When the heavens warn you, you can use the mirror to reflect what you are thinking.

Since he got the mind mirror, he had used it several times but nothing had been reflected. But today, on a whim, he unexpectedly had a reaction.

The scene in the mirror showed that these were his two sons, Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi, the culprits who caused the catastrophe that would last for thousands of years.

"This is... Dragon Island?"

The mirror flashed, and his two sons appeared on an island, with a dragon corpse bowing its head, and several martial arts legends fighting for the scattered dragon essence.

This living historian who had experienced four thousand years could no longer sit still and rushed into the world.

He didn't know when the scene in the mirror would happen, but he had plenty of patience.
