Da Zaojun

Song Wuji looked up and saw that the rain was pouring down like pillars.

The mirage dragon fell.

The sword sheath that Stanley Ho transformed into spun around once and finally flew into the Xiaoyao Mountain Grotto.

"Just one sword strike?"

Song Wuji was stunned.

Lin Fajing swallowed hard: "The patriarch has made his move. This guy can run away if he wants to. The patriarch only said he would suppress him for five hundred years. He was supposed to owe him the extra five hundred years, but now that he has destroyed the Xiaoyao Mountain's ley lines, he is no longer indebted."

"He was originally destined to escape, but he insisted on talking big and provoking the patriarch, saying that even if the patriarch descended to the altar, or even if he descended to the mortal realm in his true form, he couldn't stop him. Now he has gotten what he asked for."

The mirage dragon landed and transformed into its original form, which was a large clam shell. Inside the clam shell was a boneless, soft-bodied dragon corpse, the color of which resembled pearly clam meat. At this moment, it was being cleaved in two alive.

On the clam shell are two pearls, one is the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and the other is the Illusion Spirit Pearl.

Song Wuji had thought the mirage dragon was dead, but he saw that the two soft flesh pieces were still trembling, but they could no longer close up.

Song Wuji sighed, "They're too clever by half."

"Give me liberty or give me death."

The mirage dragon uttered a weak thought: "In the well, I am constantly under its shadow. I am afraid of death, and even living a thousand years longer would be painful."

I have no regrets!

Lin Fajing shook his head: "Stubborn fool. The scabbard is for concealing the sharpness of the blade. Why didn't the patriarch kill you a thousand years ago? You have no remorse. Even if you were released after five hundred years, you would still be a scourge to the world. What can be criticized if you are imprisoned for another five hundred years? It is for the greater good of humanity and the well-being of all people."

"If you have truly ruined your heart, after five hundred years of cultivation, you should be free from your obsessions and cultivate the false to become the true. As a patriarch, recommending you to be a great dragon god would not be a problem."

"It's all about strength and weakness, black and white, it's all up to you to decide." The mirage dragon lost its aura, its soul completely obliterated by the sword intent.

"I can deceive Heaven, but I can't deceive my own heart. How can I be content with this? How can I be content with this?"

In my mind, I turned into a lump of dead flesh.

Song Wuji shook his head. "Although I pity you, whether it's clam meat or dragon meat, it's a crucial ingredient for immortality. I'm going to take it for a banquet, which corresponds to the sixth-rank ritual [Imperial Chef].

Lin Fajing took the Dragon Pearl and the clam shell, saying, "I need the Dragon Pearl to refine pills. Although he was killed by a sword, when he ascended to heaven as a trapped dragon, he did indeed have the faint appearance of a celestial being. It would be impolite of me to refuse it."

"This clam shell can be used to refine a treasure that can capture the three lights and clouds and water. It can also be used to transform mirage energy and to trap people. After I finish refining it, I will give it to the Lord of the Realm."

Song Wuji nodded, then a thought struck him: "Since the Red Pillar was transformed from a sword sheath, could you also allow me to make a Dragon-Binding Rope from those chains?"

"That's fine, but this rope is no longer of any use."

Song Wuji put away the broken rope and then asked, "What should we do with this big pit?"

"This evil dragon has destroyed the earth's veins, which has already affected the earth and caused it to emit murderous intent. But as the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. This place is deep and hidden, with the remains of a trapped dragon that has ascended to heaven. It can be used as a dragon pool and can be used to raise dragons."

Song Wuji didn't understand feng shui either, and only felt that it was mysterious and profound.

However, Genlin Fajing returned to Xiaoyao Mountain, received 100,000 Bigu Pills, and then returned to Taichang Realm.

Upon returning to Taichang Realm, Song Wuji immediately took out the Illusionary Spirit Pearl. Within the pearl, the so-called Mirage Dragon Secret Realm was displayed, and the largest Mirage Dragon demon within it possessed a divine light in its eyes, though it appeared utterly forlorn.

In the secret realm, there are clam maidens, shrimp soldiers, crab generals, loach soldiers, turtle warriors, and turtle prime ministers.

[Water Moon Cave]
Looking at the secret realm, Song Wuji said, "You really managed to deceive everyone."

The Mirage Dragon said, "Originally, my consciousness could have been transferred to the Silkworm Dragon, but the Silkworm Dragon is with the Spider Weaver. If I fall into her hands, I might not have a chance to survive."

"Although this secret realm is a shackle and a cage, I did feel a trace of pity from your emotions as it fell into your hands."

Song Wuji shook his head: "It's not because of your scheming."

"It's because you promised to submit to me as your master that they didn't kill you all."

Then Song Wuji said, "Your Deceitful Heaven Technique is also useful to me. Your secret realm is located in the pearl and has fallen into my hands. Now your vital energy is greatly damaged, and your life and death are in my hands. The situation is clear. What do you want to do?"

The Mirage Dragon sighed, "I will willingly submit to you as my master, serve you, offer you the secret realm token and treasure chest, and manage and develop the secret realm for you."

Immediately, a token and a treasure chest appeared.

Upon receiving the token, Song Wuji sensed its authenticity and saw the character "Prison" written on it. He immediately understood that this decree was not about distinguishing right from wrong, truth from falsehood, or illusion from illusion, but rather a prison decree used in conjunction with penal orders.

However, the specific usage can only be known by inserting it into the five-colored lotus platform of Taichang Realm.

Open the treasure chest.

The items were rather scarce, as dragon scales, dragon pearls, phantom pearls, and seeds of magical talismans had all been divided up.

[Azure Mirage Bottle. Mid-grade Magic Treasure] *1
[The True Skill of Thousand Transformations of Clouds and Mist] *1
[Mist-Covering Talisman Seed] *1
[Illusory True Elixir Recipe] *1
Holding the Azure Mirage Bottle in his hand, Song Wuji immediately understood that this was a natal magic weapon that the Mirage Dragon had spent a thousand years refining, but it had never been revealed. The Mirage Qi contained seventy-two layers of minor heavenly cloud restrictions and thirty-six layers of major heavenly cloud restrictions, which could evolve into a fairyland in the clouds and create a labyrinthine illusion.

It is also adept at calling people by name. Once a person is trapped in it, they can experience life and death, endless changes, and be helped to comprehend the way of refining the false and cultivating the true.

The cultivation method is a self-created method by the Mirage Dragon, which focuses on cultivating the spirit of the Three Treasures and the Qi of the Three Treasures. It has seven levels: the first level is illusion, the second level is illusion, the third level is illusion, the fourth level is illusion, the fifth level is illusion, the sixth level is illusion, and the seventh level is illusion.

It is a cultivation technique that leads directly to the third rank, but it has great limitations and can only be practiced by those who are proficient in the Water Moon Illusion Technique.

The Illusionary Spirit Pearl is the Water Moon Cave World that the Mirage Dragon evolved from the sixth layer of the Illusionary Realm. However, he never took the final step of Illusion and Reality, so the guidance of the seventh layer of this technique is actually not very meaningful.

The ability to spread mist is one of the celestial supernatural powers, which is similar to the ability to move clouds, spread rain, and summon wind. It is an auxiliary supernatural power for cultivating great supernatural powers, such as riding the clouds and mist, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist.

However, for those who cultivate illusion techniques, especially the Water Moon Illusion Technique, the ability to create mist is essential. As a domain-specific ability, it is not limited to weather phenomena.

The Illusionary True Pill recipe requires the essence blood of the Mirage Dragon as an ingredient to be refined. Song Wuji obtained a bottle of it from a treasure chest in the Magpie Bridge Secret Realm. Consuming it would prevent one from falling into the illusionary realm, but it is being used here as well.

Song Wuji was very satisfied and immediately said, "Since you have acknowledged me as your master, I will not play games with you anymore. I can give you the Yellow Spring Pearl, including the Yellow Spring water and the Yellow Spring Fallen Dragon inside. Can you use them to replace the Dragon Pearl and help you further improve your illusion magic?"

Aren't you afraid I'll turn against you again?

"Too much change is worse than no change at all," Song Wuji said. "What do you think?"
