Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

"It's finally over." Zhang Huaidan felt a long-lost sense of relief.

He walked over and saw Hengyue staring blankly, so he casually patted her head.

"I have to thank you for this."

Hengyue transformed into human form, pushed away his large hand, and then turned around to look at the hundred-foot-tall gate.

Zhang Huaidan pondered: "The Five Elements Seal at the entrance, could it be some kind of test set up by the senior? If so, why go to such lengths when there's only one door separating us?"

Hengyue's small body trembled involuntarily. In fact, she had a feeling the moment she saw the Five Elements Seal.

I just can't believe it no matter what.

At this moment, brought up by Zhang Huaidan, his heart suddenly plummeted into the abyss and soared to the heavens, almost unable to control itself.

Zhang Huaidan said softly, "No matter what, we should go in."

Hengyue remained silent, her head bowed, as the two walked step by step until they reached the hundred-foot-high gate.

The cloud and water patterns on the door are striking, seemingly containing endless truths, and once these thoughts arise, they become unstoppable.

Zhang Huaidan dared not be careless and tried his best to concentrate, ignoring the cloud and water patterns.

In just two breaths, he was covered in sweat, feeling that it was even more difficult than facing the Five Elements Seal.

Hengyue reached out and placed her hand on the door. With a slight effort, she heard a creak, just like any other door opening.

However, within this voice, a wild and untamed will surged from the soles of one's feet straight to the top of one's head, shaking one's mind and spirit, as if transporting one to an infinitely distant past.

Zhang Huaidan was slightly lost in thought when he saw a crack in the door slowly widen, and a ray of divine light shone through the crack. He vaguely saw a vast, uncultivated land, an incredibly ancient era, before the human race had even entered the stage of history.

Thus, the sky is high and the sea is wide, allowing fish to leap freely; the divine dragon soars through the nine heavens; and the phoenix treads upon the parasol trees...

Zhang Huaidan was in a daze, immersed in intermittent hallucinations.

He considered himself mentally resolute, unshakable by anything in the world, yet the will revealed in that divine light was beyond description as magnificent.

Dragons soar and phoenixes dance; unicorns run and foxes scurry.

Zhang Huaidan also seemed to become a part of this illusion, gazing at one after another naturally born saint.

At some point, the Qilin disappeared, the white fox vanished, and the phoenix folded its wings. In the sky and on earth, only a divine dragon remained, traversing the mountains.

The dragon's horns were like pillars of heaven, its scales like golden rainbows, and it held a radiant dragon pearl in its mouth. Even the sun in the sky seemed like an insignificant firefly.

Zhang Huaidan stared in shock at the scene, still finding it unbelievable even though she knew it was an illusion.

Suddenly, the dragon opened its eyes, and an indescribable pressure pierced through the soul, even sealing off a section of the world.

The supernatural power of Fiery Eyes is nothing compared to these dragon eyes.

Zhang Huaidan was deeply shaken, and six words involuntarily surfaced in his mind: "True Lord Who Moves Rivers and Overturns Seas!"
Although I had expected it in my heart.

But when I actually learned about it, it still felt unbelievable.

True Lord!

The Grandpa Ao that Hengyue mentioned was actually a True Lord!
He transcended the four realms of a True Person and proved his existence as a True Lord!
That level of attainment is something that even Zhang Huaidan cannot imagine today.

If there is a huge gap between a real person and an ordinary person, then the gap between a true lord and a real person is even greater!

Zhang Huaidan's heart was surging with excitement, a burning passion raging within him!
True sages exist in this world!
During this time, he has tried his best to find information about the Dharma-ending Age, but so far, he has found very little.

Even though his resolve to follow the Dao was firm, he couldn't help but wonder if there really was a future ahead.
He hasn't even reached the first realm of the True Person realm. What will happen after the fourth realm?
At this moment, upon seeing a true lord, all those small doubts vanished in an instant!

Zhang Huaidan proclaimed in a loud voice: "Zhang Huaidan, a junior disciple personally taught by the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, pays homage to the True Lord Who Moves Rivers and Overturns Seas!"

He was still in a hallucination, but the methods of the True Lord were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people and should not be taken lightly.

Zhang Huaidan stared directly at the real dragon, and the dazed feeling he had just experienced suddenly became a million times clearer.

The dragon's body, its origins unknown, stretched across the vast mountains. Just when one thought they had reached the end, the path twisted and turned, revealing glittering golden scales. Yet, it remained indistinguishable whether the dragon's body meandered through the mountains or the mountains were attached to the dragon's body. Even at the limit of one's vision, the dragon's tail could not be seen.

Zhang Huaidan has not yet officially entered the first realm of the True Person realm, so he cannot fully understand the differences between them.

But one thing is certain: even a difference in one region, if not worlds apart, is still a vast chasm.

Moreover, before us stands a True Lord, a True Lord who was born a sacred dragon and attained enlightenment!

Zhang Huaidan let his mind wander, and time passed by second by second. He regained his composure, but the dragon king in his hallucination did not give him any answer.

Zhang Huaidan was quite taken aback: "Dragon Lord!"

Suddenly, I realized that the sun in the sky had regained its brilliance, and the dragon's eyes no longer possessed the oppressive aura of a true dragon that could seal off the heavens and earth; they were merely two oversized lanterns.

The dragon's body still lies prostrate among the mountains, but it has lost too much of its luster, resembling dark yellow earth.

In the perplexing silence, the Dragon Lord's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "Hengyue let you in; you are the one he chose."

The roar of the dragon filled the heavens and the earth, as if it would break through the heavens and the earth. Violent ripples spread through the air, and even illusions were about to be shattered.

Zhang Huaidan said, "Since we share the same path, we should become fellow Daoists. Senior Dragon Lord, there's no need for that..."

The Dragon King continued, "A great calamity is approaching, and my biggest worry is Hengyue. You must help each other; perhaps we can weather the storm together."

If the dragon's roar just now filled the heavens and earth, then the sound now only fills half of it.

Although it is still a remarkable change, it has brought too many unnecessary weaknesses.

Zhang Huaidan's heart sank, and he said repeatedly, "I will definitely remember Senior Dragon Lord's instructions, but the great calamity is..."

"Go, there is something I left for you inside the dragon's belly."

The Dragon King's voice was now like that of an ordinary old man.

Zhang Huaidan's pupils dilated in shock!
By this point, even someone with a dull mind can come to their senses.

The words spoken by the Dragon King were like pre-recorded audio, waiting for the right person to appear before they would play automatically!
In other words, the Dragon King is completely incapable of communication!

So, what does this mean?
Zhang Huaidan's breathing quickened slightly. Impossible. How could such an absurd thing happen in the world?

You must know, this is a True Lord!

"Hengyue is still young, please take good care of her."

This last sentence is no different from what an elderly person says when making their final arrangements.

The illusion before his eyes vanished, and he could no longer see the incredible dragon. Zhang Huaidan's face was ashen. Even a True Lord would one day die and perish.

The hallucination disappeared, and Zhang Huaidan and Hengyue had entered the portal, where they faced a white wall.

I thought the hundred-foot gate was huge enough, but what is it compared to this white jade wall?
Zhang Huaidan looked up and saw that it was towering into the clouds, probably no less than a thousand feet high!
The walls are made of what appears to be carved white jade; any corner you dig out is a priceless treasure, no less valuable than the He Shi Bi jade.

He marveled inwardly. "Truly worthy of a True Lord," he thought, "such a large piece of white jade must not be naturally formed, but rather crafted with immense magical power. But what is the purpose of crafting such a large piece of white jade?"
It's impossible to be idle...

Her thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and Hengyue threw herself against the white jade wall, wailing loudly!
Zhang Huaidan's heart trembled violently. He looked around and gasped in shock.

This is not a white jade wall at all, it is clearly a dragon head that is thousands of feet long!
Beyond the dragon's head, the dragon's corpse stretched for thousands of meters.

Can be imagined.

These are none other than the remains of the True Lord!

At some joints, even thin grass and shrubs grow, and on some bones, fine moss grows.

The dragon's corpse was covered with the marks of time, revealing a cruel truth.

The True Lord Who Moves Rivers and Overturns Seas.

He has been dead for many years.

Zhang Huaidan withdrew his gaze, feeling deeply moved and filled with countless doubts. With a great calamity approaching, the Dragon King's last words could not possibly be just to scare children.

Is this the Dharma-ending Age?

For all practitioners, there should be no greater calamity in the Dharma-ending Age that is more despairing!
However, according to the information we have so far, the end of the Dharma era was about seven or eight hundred years ago. Has the Dragon King been dead for that long?

He shook his head, the more he searched, the more confused he became. When he walked to Hengyue's side, she was already crying her eyes out: "You will die, and I will die too. Didn't you say that?"

"It's different, this is different! How could Grandpa Ao die? He was a True Lord, how could he die!"

Hengyue shook her head frantically, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Zhang Huaidan felt a deep sense of pity.

In the dying words of the Dragon Lord, he was chosen by Heng Yue.

He wasn't particularly interested in it, but without Hengyue breaking the formation, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Dragon Lord's Cave.

Although the Dragon Lord has been dead for a long time, what would be the legacy of a True Lord?

As for the Dragon Lord's request for him to take care of Hengyue, Zhang Huaidan's feelings were somewhat complicated.

The 'old hag' who's hundreds of years old still needs his care; he's not even a fraction of Hengyue's age.

Suppressing the turbulent thoughts in his mind, Zhang Huaidan remained silent and waited quietly to the side.

Hengyue cried for a while, until all her tears had dried, her eyes swollen and red like two peaches: "What did Grandpa Ao say to you?"

There's nothing to hide: "Let me take care of you."

"I don't need it!"

Hengyue's eyes widened, while Zhang Huaidan seemed afraid that the two peaches would break.

"casual."

Hengyue rubbed her eyes hard, then gave a cold snort and walked past the dragon's head.

Zhang Huaidan shrugged and followed behind her at a leisurely pace.

As she walked along the dragon's body, Hengyue would stop from time to time to sweep away the moss clinging to the dragon's bones and pull out the grass and shrubs growing from the joints.

Although it was a futile effort, Zhang Huaidan naturally wouldn't stop her and began to examine the cave dwelling once more.

According to Hengyue, the Dragon Lord's cave is a true world, and it does not need to rely on the mortal world.

Zhang Huaidan was completely unaware of the True Lord's methods.

However, judging from what we just saw, we hadn't even entered the cave yet; just outside the entrance was a secret realm.

A glimpse of a spot reveals the whole leopard; creating a world should not be difficult for a true lord.

only……

Compared to the real dragon in the hallucinations, whose head and tail were barely visible, the current dragon corpse, though its head was thousands of feet long and its bones were tens of thousands of meters long, was still far, far smaller.

So, is the dragon body in the hallucination the true form of the Dragon King, or the skeleton before our eyes?
Furthermore, this cave was not as vast as one might imagine; it was far smaller than Hengyue's Fox Fairy Secret Realm, and one could see its end at a glance.

Ten thousand meters away, the dragon's tail had disappeared, swallowed up by the gradually collapsing void.

Zhang Huaidan sensed it carefully and immediately noticed the difference.

Although the Dragon Lord had been dead for many years and his flesh and blood had long since decayed, leaving only pale bones, he was still the remains of a True Lord. These dragon bones constantly emitted a mysterious power, merging into the cave and preventing the Void from approaching.

Looking at Hengyue, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose hands were red from tearing at the grass and trees, I said, "It's a good thing we came early. Otherwise, in a few more years, this cave would have been destroyed, and we wouldn't even be able to see the dragon corpse anymore."

Hengyue glared angrily: "Is that how you comfort people?"

Zhang Huaidan shrugged: "I'm just stating the facts. Speaking of which, your Fox Fairy Secret Realm should also have been created by the Dragon Lord. Was he in a very bad state at the time?"

Hengyue's body trembled, and grief welled up within her: "If Grandpa Ao hadn't used his great magic to create the Fox Fairy Realm for me, he would still be alive now. It's all my fault!"

She threw herself onto the dragon bone and burst into tears.

Zhang Huaidan opened his mouth, then sighed: "Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them. The Dragon Lord probably knew that his time was coming to an end, and used his last strength to create a resting place for you."

He said softly, "There's no need to be too sad. The Dragon Lord has lived for so long, he's probably tired of living."

Hengyue was filled with sorrow, anger, and a bit of amusement: "You're the one who's tired of living!"

Zhang Huaidan simply smiled.

Their eyes met, and Hengyue felt inexplicably embarrassed that a young boy had seen her like this.

When the Dragon Lord created the secret realm and drove her out of the cave, how could Heng Yue not sense it?
Upon seeing the Five Spirit Seals at the entrance of the cave, a conclusion was already obvious.

Actually, she had already prepared herself mentally, and it wasn't just a day or two; she had plenty of time to calm down.

However, the moment he saw the dragon's corpse, all preparations and calm vanished in an instant, leaving only sorrow and no other emotion.

Zhang Huaidan lowered his head, and Hengyue's inner emotions were completely exposed on her face. She was utterly without any guile, which made her all the more pitiful.

Was she so grief-stricken that she no longer had the will to pretend?
Or is this Hengyue's original form? Otherwise, why would the Dragon Lord let him take care of her?
'No matter what, it's an ancient monster that's been around for hundreds of years; it's definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface!'

He said with a smile, "Let's go. We still need to collect the Dragon King's belongings. If we're too slow, someone else might beat us to it!"

Hengyue's gaze sharpened: "So you really are after Grandpa Ao's belongings!" Her eyes swept over him: "You're the one! Let me tell you, you won't get away with it!"

Seeing her protective mother hen-like demeanor, Zhang Huaidan smiled slightly and turned around gracefully.

Hengyue quickly followed, shouting incessantly.

It did lack much of the sorrow. (End of Chapter)
