The Great Seminary

Chapter 179 War Resumes

From a distance, the large, hoofed cloud-riding dragon appeared to be only about three feet apart from its head to its tail.

But Zhang Gui stretched out his hands with a solemn expression, his fingers forming the shape of the number 'eight'.

After gesturing for a while, he finally said with a strange expression:

"Old Song, you said you'd bring me to see a wonder, but I never expected it to be a living thing."

But he couldn't possibly be my uncle who's known for his unorthodox ways, could he?

I personally witnessed my great-uncle transforming into a dragon on Giant Snake Head Island.

It was just an ordinary dragon, no more than ten zhang long and about the thickness of a well opening.

It looks exactly like the dragon in the New Year's paintings.
But the monster in the sky was at least thirty feet long.

Its thickness is nowhere near that of a dragon; it shouldn't have become like this even if it ate pig feed every day.

"Our Eastern dragon is a divine beast, possessing both a 'divine' aspect and a 'beast' aspect."

The combination of the two is precisely what 'human nature' is!
The "dragon body" cultivated in the "Pingbo Ce" specifically refers to a sea dragon in the water, and has nothing to do with a fire dragon.

Its method involves cultivating both Qi and blood, as well as the primordial spirit.

The result of balancing these two cultivation methods is a common dragon shape, which is indeed very similar to that of a New Year's painting.

The cultivator's temperament remained largely unchanged, extremely balanced, peaceful, and unhurried.

It's clearly the 'right path', so it's the most popular choice.

When one's spiritual cultivation surpasses that of one's physical and mental cultivation, one will embark on the path of becoming a 'divine dragon'.

They become skilled in magic and naturally master the ability to change length and the art of escape using the Five Elements.

Cultivators will gradually become 'divine and long-lived', but the downside is that their cultivation speed will become increasingly slower.

The advantage is that you live a long life.

The change that is neither good nor bad is the decrease in desire, especially the decrease in desire between men and women.

Some are naturally cold-hearted and don't even want to talk to their own parents.
Or perhaps someone who is so introverted that they don't want to be approached even when they see a stunningly beautiful woman or a handsome man might choose this path.

Finally, when the cultivation of qi and blood surpasses the cultivation of the primordial spirit, a person's animalistic nature will gradually surpass their divine nature, transforming them into a 'dragon beast'.

The advantage is that cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, the more one indulges their animalistic instincts, the faster they can cultivate.

The downside is that most practitioners of this method will transform into wild beasts that wield dragon power.

In a sense, it means that one's 'human self' has disappeared, which is no different from death.

Therefore, unless one is inherently wicked or lewd, few people will be chosen.

Guan Xihui, his voice hoarse, answered Zhang Gui's question:

"I found out about it during the 'Little Kingdom War' game on the first night of this year."

Boss Yan changed his path of cultivating the 'Dragon Body' from 'Balance' to transforming into a dragon beast.

That night he completely unleashed his bestial instincts, tearing apart and devouring hundreds of living people right before my eyes.

"Hiss! My great-uncle is so insane, he actually did such an inhuman thing. Isn't he afraid of being struck by lightning?"

If someone else had said that, Kansai Teru might have agreed with it to some extent.

But hearing Zhang Gui say this seemed utterly absurd, and for a moment, he was speechless.

"Old Guan, eating living people and making use of dead people's corpses are two completely different things."

One is extremely evil, the other is neither good nor evil; don't confuse them.

Seeing Guan Xihui's strange expression, Zhang Gui guessed what he was thinking and hurriedly explained.

Regardless of what Kansai Teru was thinking, he nodded vigorously on the surface.
"Longhu misunderstood. I thought the same thing from the beginning."

Let's continue talking about Boss Yan.

The ancient book "Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms" states, "A dragon is ten zhang in length and thirty zhang in length."

I wonder how many sins Boss Yan has committed in hiding, that he has progressed from a 3rd-grade cultivator who has just entered the 'Upper Grade B' to being just one step away from the 2nd-grade 'Greater Grade B' in such a short time.

But I knew it the moment I heard from Old He that he would be in Seoul tonight.

"At this moment, King Zhen was at the beginning of the second 'Small Kingdom War' against the Wonsan Protectorate." As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon beast soared into the sky above Hanseong Prefecture.

Soon, horns sounded from underground, and patches of fire lit up.

The once quiet city has become bustling.

Just then, rain began to fall from the sky. Zhang Gui looked down the mountain and murmured:

"The undeclared war in the last Spring Festival small-nation war could be described as a 'sudden attack'."

What's the point of repeating the same trick this time? If they keep using unconventional tactics, it won't be surprising anymore.

Meanwhile, King Jin of Seoul was in his temporary residence.

Mr. Yin looked up at the monster in the sky that resembled neither a dragon nor a beast, and frowned.

Turning to his junior sister from the sect, he said:
"Junior sister, Zhang Yan is the vanguard general of this 'small country war'."

Now that he's shown up so early, we should get going.

Tao Yaoyao, drifting along, nodded.

"Senior brother, I'm already ready."

This small-nation war will be a good opportunity to see if that Dragon-Tiger General can still devour corpses indefinitely.

"I also have a great fondness for him, not to mention the gods derived from the ancient god Kuafu."

That sinister method of using misfortune as a sword to sever people's luck and kill them invisibly is truly in line with our 'Dai Luo Sect's' causal techniques.

At such a young age, to possess two ancient bloodline divine clusters capable of manifesting 'true forms' is rare even among inner sect disciples born into ancient sects.

"Senior brother, you've taken a liking to him too? That's wonderful..."

"Junior Sister Tao."

As the head of the sect's true disciples who travel among mortals, if such a promising talent were discovered during the heyday of our 'Dai Luo Sect'...

I had already sent him into 'Yindai Mountain' to begin his trials.

However, over tens of thousands of years, our 'Dailuo Sect' has risen and fallen nine times.

The sect has been mired in decline for over a thousand years now.

Seeing his junior sister's excited and animated expression, Mr. Yin began to pour cold water on her enthusiasm.

"We can only take care of ourselves first, and let everything else take its course."

Upon hearing this, Tao Yaoyao fell silent and possessed the shadow behind Mr. Yin.

Mr. Yin's pupils dilated, filling his entire eyeball, resembling a jet-black bead.

Countless tiny human figures are faintly visible within the beads.

Mr. Yin took a few quick breaths, exhaling streams of yin energy that transformed into a phantom sedan chair.

Then he rolled his eyelids, squeezing out some of the figures from his eyeballs. These figures grew larger in the wind and transformed into sixty-four ghostly sedan chair bearers.

They lifted up the fake sedan chair.

Mr. Yin climbed into the sedan chair and sat down with a thud, instantly turning the falsehood into reality.

However, this kind of reality is different from the reality of reality, just like two paintings drawn on two overlapping sheets of paper.

They all exist, but they never intersect.

"Senior brother, you have some really good skills."

It seems that the 'Lotus-like Evil Ghost Path' of the Yuanshan Guard on Fresh Velvet Island might really be the treasure you're 'destined' to attain enlightenment.”

Tao Yaoyao's voice came from somewhere.

Mr. Yin smiled faintly.
"Junior sister, don't just talk about me. Hasn't the 'Lotus Evil Ghost Path' benefited you enough?"

We will rescue hundreds of thousands of wronged ghosts who have been trapped in the cycle of reincarnation in the "Lotus Evil Ghost Path" during this "Small Nation War".

Subdue more evil spirits who are protectors of the 'Lotus Evil Ghost Path' and make them into soldiers of the path.

That would be even more beautiful.
