This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 170 is far more terrifying than what was seen.

For Zhuang Lin, the Dragon Clan's actions were significant, but they were not something he needed to or could immediately respond to.

For Dao Yanzi, nothing was more exciting than receiving long-awaited guidance in his cultivation.

The two remained motionless in the Taihang Mountains, which made the several large dragons that were fleeing at high speed nervous.

However, those giant dragons were clearly unaware of the situation.

At this moment, at least a thousand miles southeast of Zhongshan City, several large dragons that had originally fled separately finally reunited.

These giant dragons did not simply fly away; instead, they passed through the gale layer and converged in the celestial realm at a specific location, attempting to use the chaotic energy of the gale layer to evade their pursuers.

The scorching sunlight shone in the sky. The leading black dragon and the pale red dragon carried the yellowish-brown dragon and paused temporarily on a cloud that seemed no different from its surroundings, but was actually a marker point for the dragon race.

Not long after they stopped, when they saw two dragon shadows appear in the distance from two different directions, the black dragon and the pale red dragon breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the former spoke in human language.

"Thankfully, they're all still here!"

"I wonder if there's any damage?"

As the two dragons spoke, the two dragons in the distance soon arrived. The green dragon and the white dragon swam their dragon bodies and rushed to their waiting companions. When they stopped, they obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, are you alright?"

"It's alright. How about you guys? Have you been caught?"

"No, the bait must have worked; they didn't chase me down this path!"

"Me too, I was worried you guys would get caught!"

The black dragon narrowed its eyes slightly and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Or perhaps, that person simply didn't want to pursue him."

"Sigh, those madmen from the True Dao Sect are really troublesome. I should have known better than to provoke that Dao Yanzi!"

"Did we provoke him? It was clearly him who provoked us! We thought it was just him, but who knew someone even more powerful would show up!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's check on the third brother!"

As the black dragon spoke, it, along with the pale red dragon, put down the earth-yellow dragon it was carrying.

A cloud gathered below, firmly supporting the enormous dragon.

This earthen-yellow dragon is the largest of the five dragons. Even the black dragon, which is revered as the eldest brother, is only two-thirds the size of this dragon. The other three dragons combined are only about the same size as this dragon.

The other dragons surrounded the large, earth-yellow dragon, especially the wound on its body.

The wound was wide in the middle and narrow at both sides, and at the top and bottom it was two lacerations. With the flesh and blood inside and the faintly visible bones, it resembled an open eye, flowing with "tears," while the nearby dragon scales were all shattered.

The "tears" were naturally the faint, dark yellow blood that was still seeping out in strands, but the blood could not flow out because it was blocked by a layer of light and absorbed back into the nearby skin and flesh.
The entire "eye," including the slit, was about ten feet tall. It looked very big, but compared to the enormous body of the yellowish-brown dragon, it was at most like a small cut on an ordinary person. However, this small wound was very deep and gave people a very terrifying feeling!
"I have sealed the wound, but the murderous aura in this sword intent is too strong and cannot be dispelled at all. This sword aura is like a living thing, attacking Third Brother's body in the form of a sword. Although Third Brother's Dragon Pearl has fixed this wisp of sword aura, it also makes it impossible to remove. Once the Dragon Pearl moves, this sword aura will definitely attack the heart and soul!"

Although they knew that the earth-yellow dragon was severely injured, seeing the wounds on its body now, which didn't look very big but were quite terrifying, and especially feeling the sword intent and murderous aura, made the other dragons feel a little uneasy.

"What if we're fast enough? We can quickly move the Dragon Balls and then quickly remove this deadly thing?"

"You think you can outrun it? Are you sure you can? I certainly don't!"

This sword aura is essentially an invisible sword rainbow. If you react too slowly, you might not even be able to see it clearly, let alone kill it!

"What should we do? We can't just ignore the third brother's injury, can we?"

"Manage? How? By asking that sword cultivator from the True Path Sect for the antidote?"

Legend has it that the wounds left by sword immortals are actually "sword poison," and only the sword immortal who drew the sword, or a sword cultivator of a higher level, can cure the poison.

Such rumors are not very well-founded; if there is any, it should only be some sword energy.

But now the dragons have realized that just because they didn't encounter them before doesn't mean the rumors were completely false.

I've long heard of the crazy dragons of the True Path. It seems they are indeed more than just peak cultivators. Those who are dedicated to cultivation can actually develop some skills. The so-called "sword poison" in the earth-yellow dragon's body is indeed extremely dangerous!
"We can only suppress it for now."

"And what about Murong Chui?"

The black dragon narrowed its eyes slightly, its amber eyes looking towards the Gale Layer. Although the energy was chaotic, that direction was still roughly in the direction of Zhongshan City.

"Having been attacked so viciously, it seems we can't afford to make contact."

"Old Five?"

"Ok?"

The pale red dragon, who was slightly lost in thought, responded and noticed that the other three dragons, except for the yellow dragon, were looking over.

"You seemed distracted just now, were you thinking about something?"

The pale red dragon hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Perhaps that sword immortal didn't intend to kill."

Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon immediately became excited.

"What? This is nothing?"

"This isn't even a kill shot? The third brother almost lost his life!"

The black dragon, however, looked at the pale red dragon.

"Fifth Brother, what makes you say that?"

The pale red dragon's voice was clear and bright, clearly indicating he was the youngest of the five dragons. He thought for a moment before speaking, "None of you saw that person's divine eyes. The feeling is hard to describe, but if he wanted to, Third Brother would be dead without a doubt, and we wouldn't even have a chance to think about how to save him."

That brief moment was merely a fleeting glimpse, but the impact it had on the pale red dragon was considerable. Even now, just recalling it evokes a lingering sense of unease.

The other three dragons looked at each other in bewilderment. If it hadn't been said by the fifth dragon himself, they would have doubted what they had heard.

"What kind of divine eye is this?"

Is it really that mysterious?

"If Fifth Brother wasn't mistaken, and he really didn't go for the kill, then is Murong Chui still a viable option?"

"Well, let's not think about him for now. That person first made Dao Yanzi appear, and then showed up himself. That's already a warning. He's just still somewhat wary of the power of my Dragon Clan."

"Would a madman from the True Path be afraid? Especially someone at his level?"

The black dragon looked at the other three conscious dragons, paused for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"Isn't that even more terrifying? The changes in the destiny of heaven and earth may not be known only to us. Don't underestimate the people of the world; there may be many acting in secret. And the True Path may also be about to make a big move."

According to common knowledge in the spiritual practice community today, the higher the level of a True Daoist practitioner, the more severe their madness tends to be, although there are exceptions, this is generally the case.

But today seems to be an exception!

First of all, the sword cultivator we encountered today was almost certainly from the True Dao Sect. This was not only because of Dao Yanzi's attitude towards him, but also because of the Dragon Clan's own feeling, a faint intuition among seekers of truth.

Secondly, the sword cultivator's realm today is definitely not low, at least higher than Dao Yanzi's, which means he is at least at the Nascent Soul Realm. The pair of Dharma Eyes that Lao Wu saw further confirms that the person's realm is profound.

Finally, this person wasn't being arrogant at all today; he might even have deliberately held back.

The higher one's spiritual level, the more rational one becomes. This is rather illogical in the True Daoist School, and even they themselves understand this. Therefore, True Daoist practitioners with high spiritual levels rarely appear in the world easily.

Therefore, after a brief deliberation, the five dragons naturally came to a reasonable conclusion:

The person I met today is more terrifying than he appears on the surface, but perhaps not entirely unapproachable!
For many residents of Zhongshan City, a somewhat terrible storm has passed.

The rain came down suddenly and the wind was strong, but fortunately it didn't last long, so people felt that they were safe. Even so, some houses in the city still collapsed in the storm.

What many ordinary people don't know is that there's also chaos inside the Great Yan Kingdom's palace right now.

Inside the palace, the corpses of the aquatic creatures, which had been revealed in the heavy rain, had now turned into water and disappeared, except for some large dead fish.

However, the chaos in the palace was not caused by the dead fish, but by the fire.

"Fire! Quick, put out the fire!" "Hurry up!"

Palace officials shouted anxiously, and some palace servants and guards rushed to put out the fire with buckets of water, but they were unable to extinguish the growing flames.

The fire in the main hall had already burned through the hall and spread outside. If the heavy rain had continued, it would have been fine, but the rain had stopped at that exact moment, although there was still some wind, which was a disaster.

The fire even spread to some nearby palaces, and the entire Great Yan Imperial Palace was in chaos.

Murong Chui's condition is much better than before. Although he was hit by Dao Yanzi's palm, that palm was not meant to hurt anyone. With the influence of the dragon blood, he is now full of energy and looks much younger than before when he was old and frail.

At this moment, Murong Chui stood outside the palace, clenching his fists as he watched the flames rise, while the eunuch beside him whispered something.

"Your Majesty, you'd better go and take shelter quickly. There might still be assassins left, and this fire is dangerous too."

"Hmph! I am the Son of Heaven, unharmed by water or fire! Nor can villains harm me. If the palace is destroyed, it will be rebuilt!"

Murong Chui looked around and saw that there was no carriage and the people around him were covered in dust. He was immediately annoyed and turned to leave, leaving several palace servants to chase after him.

However, the old emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty did not want to leave or hide. Instead, he went to the palace where his concubines were. Although he was in danger today, he had an uncontrollable lust. This desire was growing in his body and then affecting his mentality.
-
In the Taihang Mountains, Dao Yanzi didn't have many questions that came to mind at the moment, but Zhuang Lin's simple distinction between right and wrong had already benefited him greatly. So much so that he couldn't help but get up and dance with joy, but he felt it wasn't dignified enough and forcibly restrained himself.

But when Dao Yanzi suddenly asked about a choice he made at a crucial juncture in his cultivation journey, and Zhuang Lin replied that it was a "mistake," he could no longer contain himself.

"Hahahaha, good, good, so that's how it is, so that's how it is. I've been wrong for 160 years! Hahahaha, all for nothing, all for nothing, haha ​​...

Dao Yanzi pounded his chest and slapped his thighs, laughing in a somewhat manic manner, but Zhuang Lin found it rather desolate.

However, this feeling of madness and desolation came to an abrupt end. Dao Yanzi seemed to recover in an instant, and silently bowed to Zhuang Lin several more times. This was not the first time he had performed such a grand ceremony.

Zhuang Lin did not shy away from the issue. Although he was also taking the opportunity to learn about the cultivation methods of contemporary Nascent Soul cultivators, to be honest, simply pointing out the flaws and shortcomings was a great favor indeed.

After finishing his prayers, Dao Yanzi seemed to remember something. Suddenly, he took out his wine gourd, uncorked it, and poured out a wisp of wine. From it swam a small, dark yellow dragon.

"Senior, this is something I took from that brat Murong. It contains about 70% of the true spirit that the five bastards possessed. It's quite a good thing. I don't need it, so I'm giving it to you, Senior!"

Zhuang Lin stretched out his hand, and the little dragon, along with a stream of wine, swam into his palm. It looked like a lifelike and exquisite little dragon, and unlike the previous five dragons, this little dragon actually looked more like a real dragon!
Clearly, those five dragons also paid a heavy price!
"What? You're not going to ask anymore?"

Zhuang Lin said this, and Dao Yanzi was already about to stop offering gifts at this moment, but Zhuang Lin still hoped that he would say more.

Dao Yanzi nodded.

"It's not that I don't want to, but that I dare not! If I were to ask any more questions, I fear my resolve would crumble. I have already benefited greatly from today's guidance!"

"If you can understand this principle, your path ahead is not yet over!"

Zhuang Lin said this, but it was more of a consolation. Dao Yanzi was right; if he continued to ask, his Dao Heart might really shatter. He was wrong from the very beginning, and there was probably no future for him.
Dao Yanzi was quite pleased with Zhuang Lin's words of comfort, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I will take what you have said to heart. Our entire Yanzhen Sect will give you our full support. And please rest assured, senior, only core disciples can know about it. If the Five-Colored Divine Peak is really in the Taihang Mountains, we will definitely find it and help you conquer it!"

I never said I wanted you guys to help me attack!
But after a moment's thought, Zhuang Lin nodded slightly.

"It's good that you meant it!"
