Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 183 The Legend of the Yellow Dragon

Di Yi's words were so informative that the three of them were stunned and couldn't believe it.

It turns out that Master Yun did not die from serious injuries, but was murdered by someone, and the one who killed him was none other than Elder Ling Xiao.

"Damn the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect, that damned old man Ling Xiao! If we don't avenge this, we will have no face to face the many disciples of the First-Class Hall." Fu Jiuluo's originally gentle tone turned murderous.

Yun Cangxuan has served as the head of the First-Class Hall of the Central Region Black Market for nearly two hundred years. The Fu siblings and the Azure Lake Dragon Lord were all trained by him and have great trust in him as their head.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been the ones to handle Yun Cangxuan's funeral arrangements after his death.

The Azure Lake Dragon Lord noticed that the Azure Wolf King was acting strangely. Seeing him prostrate behind Di Yi, he assumed that he had been subdued by Di Yi and said, "Hall Master, Azure Wolf alone could not possibly harm you. There must be other experts from the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect involved."

"The Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect has sent more than just Canglang this time; it seems that all the experts from the Myriad Beasts Palace have been mobilized."

Xu Sanjin's figure descended from above the canyon, his aura slightly disordered, indicating he had just experienced a major battle.

He looked at Di Yi and said with some shame, "Bai Xiang took action and rescued old man Ling Xiao, who escaped into the Ten Thousand Mountains. I was worried about an ambush, so I didn't pursue him."

White Elephant is the second strongest in the Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts. His true form is a six-tusked white elephant. His strength is second only to the Palace Master Ruan Feilong, and he ranks first among the Nine Kings. He is much stronger than the Wolf King.

"It's good that Brother Xu has returned safely. I underestimated the number of powerful figures from the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect who came this time." Emperor Yi's expression was solemn. He learned from the Wolf King that Ruan Feilong, the Palace Master of the Myriad Beasts Palace, and the other eight of the Nine Kings of the Myriad Beasts Palace were currently in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

“Ruan Feilong is powerful, a king among the Saints. With the Wolf King in trouble, he will probably arrive soon. It’s not advisable to stay here any longer. We should return to Qingjing Mountain as soon as possible,” Xu Sanjin said solemnly.

The Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect is the leader of the seven ancient sects in the Central Region, and its powerful figures are numerous.

Of the nine palace masters, more than half are Saint King realm experts. Ruan Feilong, the palace master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, is one of them. He entered the Saint King realm more than a hundred years ago and is one of the best of the middle generation of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect.

“Brother Xu is right. Let’s go back to Qingjing Mountain first. This matter is of great importance, concerning the struggle between the entire black market and the Moon Worshiping Demonic Cult. We need to discuss it carefully,” Di Yi also spoke up.

The group then headed towards the tranquil mountain.

The sword energy from Qinglong Gorge had already alarmed the members of the Yipin Hall on Qingjing Mountain.

From the highest saints to the disciples of the Fish-Dragon Realm, everyone realized that a huge upheaval had occurred within the First-Class Hall.

For a time, people panic.

It wasn't until the protective formation on Qingjing Mountain was activated, with pillars of light supporting the formation's light barrier around the Tianxiao Holy Temple, that the restless hearts finally calmed down.

Inside the hall, all those who had reached the level of a half-saint gathered, forming a large crowd of three or four hundred people.

Standing on the steps below Emperor Yi, Song Molun addressed the crowd: "The old thief Ling Xiao colluded with the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect to harm Hall Master Yun, but the Hall Master has already exposed it. The Heavenly Firmament Sacred Seal, which originally fell into the hands of the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect, has now been personally retrieved by the Hall Master. The Hall Master has ordered a thorough investigation of the old thief Ling Xiao's lineage. All those involved in this matter shall be captured and their bones crushed to dust."

Fu Jiuluo and Fu Liuyun also stepped forward to speak, and not only the saints and half-saints inside the hall, but also all the low-level martial arts disciples outside the hall could hear them clearly.

Including Xing Li, there were a total of three saints and sixty-seven semi-saints who were temporarily arrested and imprisoned in the holy prison due to suspicion.

Emperor Yi sat on the throne of the hall master, his eyes fixed on the people in the hall, without saying a word, and handed over all the matters to his subordinates.

By the time everything was explained, half a day had passed.

Only the three palace masters, Qinghu Dragon Lord, Xu Sanjin, and Di Yi remained in the hall. These were the top combat forces available on Qingjing Mountain at present.

The Wolf King had recovered somewhat from his injuries and transformed into human form, standing to one side like a statue, his eyes lifeless, which greatly surprised everyone, who wondered what methods Di Yi had used.

Song Molun had already gained Di Yi's initial trust and considered himself Di Yi's confidant. At this moment, he said indignantly, "The Moon Worshiping Demonic Cult killed Hall Master Yun and plotted against us. We must wage war against the Moon Worshiping Demonic Cult and make them pay a heavy price."

"Even if war is to break out, we can't rely solely on Yipintang and the Baiyue Demonic Sect. The Baiyue Demonic Sect is the number one sect in the Central Region, with a vast sphere of influence and immense strength. Even if we combine the power of the Nine Provinces Black Market, we might not be able to match them. Moreover, the experts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace are lurking in the Ten Thousand Mountains, watching us with predatory eyes. With our strength, we are no match for them at all. In my opinion, we should first report to Huanyu Tian and let Lord Xiedi decide how to handle this matter," said Fu Liuyun, the Palace Master of Tianji Palace.

The last Holy Elder was found to be a traitor. Now, apart from Xu Sanjin, an outsider, the strongest remaining fighter in the First-Class Hall is only at the Heavenly Realm. Even with the formation, they may not be able to stop the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect. Taking the initiative to attack is no different from courting death.

However, if they simply swallow their anger and fail to teach the Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect a lesson, Yipintang will never be able to hold its head high in the Central Region again.

The two began arguing inside the hall.

Just then, Fu Jiuluo spoke up.

"The Moon Worshiping Demonic Sect and my First-Class Hall have always kept to themselves. Why did they attack Hall Master Yun this time and use Ling Xiao to control the entire First-Class Hall? Even if he becomes the Hall Master, if he does something that harms the interests of the First-Class Hall, Huanyu Tian will not stand idly by, will he?" The two who were arguing stopped upon hearing this and looked at Di Yi, or rather, the Canglang King beside him.

Emperor Yi slowly rose from his throne, looked at the Wolf King, and instructed, "Tell us the purpose of the Moon Worshiping Demonic Cult's trip."

The Wolf King nodded mechanically, his voice hoarse and aged: "The Palace Master led us here to search for the legendary Dragon God's treasure. According to the Palace Master, the Dragon God's treasure is located on the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, most likely in the Pure Mountain. Only by controlling the First-Class Hall can we search extensively in the Pure Mountain. That's why we chose to cooperate with Ling Xiao, kill Yun Cangxuan, and prepare to support him to become the Hall Master of the Black Market's First-Class Hall."

"Dragon God's Relics? What are those things?" Song Molun looked puzzled. He had lived on Qingjing Mountain for hundreds of years and this was the first time he had ever heard of Dragon God's Relics.

"I don't know about that. The Palace Master's true form is a descendant of the ancient Yellow Dragon, a species with ancient dragon blood flowing through her veins. She knows many secrets of the dragon race, perhaps secrets obtained from her bloodline," said the Wolf King.

Powerful divine beasts and sacred beasts can pass on their cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, secret arts, and some important secrets to their descendants through bloodline inheritance.

The Yellow Dragon, also known as the Yinglong, is both a divine beast and an ancient remnant species. It is even rarer than the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and the Five-Clawed Silver Dragon, and its bloodline is extremely noble. Once it reaches adulthood, it can possess combat power comparable to that of a god.

Ruan Feilong has the bloodline of Huanglong flowing through his body, and it is indeed possible to learn many unknown secrets from his bloodline.

Upon hearing this, the Azure Lake Dragon King frowned and fell into deep thought, conjuring up some clues from the Azure Wolf King's words.

"Master, I may know some of the hidden details of this matter."

All eyes turned to the Azure Lake Dragon Lord.

"At the foot of Qingjing Mountain lies Qinghu Lake, which stretches for 1,600 li and is inhabited by my Qinghu aquatic creatures. However, according to the ancient books of the Dragon Palace, Qinghu Lake 100,000 years ago was far more than 1,600 li, but rather an inland sea that stretched for 3 million li."

“Three million li? The entire Wansheng Land in the entire state doesn’t even have three million li, Dragon Lord. Your ancient Dragon Palace book is far too outrageous. If it really is three million li, then where did the rest of the waters go? They can’t just disappear into thin air.” Song Molun didn’t believe it and thought that what the Azure Lake Dragon Lord said was too bizarre.

Even the Fu siblings, who were very close to him, didn't believe it.

The entire area of ​​Yipintang is only about 20,000 to 30,000 li in size. Three million li is such a vast area that there is no water body of such a size in the entire Central Region of the Nine Provinces.

In fact, even the Azure Lake Dragon King himself had doubts about this record. However, since the record was made by an extremely ancient and great ancestor of the Azure Lake Dragon Clan, the possibility of it being a random record was very small.

Di Yi, however, felt that what the Dragon Lord of Qinghu said was very likely true.

The Kunlun Realm has existed for an extremely long time. In the late Middle Ages, it was extremely prosperous and contained countless divine and sacred lands.

However, the battle 100,000 years ago was too brutal, burying all the prosperity under the dust and sealing it in the folded space.

He knew that once a new spiritual root of heaven and earth was born, the Kunlun Realm would begin to recover, and divine lands and sacred lands would reappear.

If what the Dragon Lord of Qinghu said is true, then the entire Qinghu Lake may be a huge land of awakening, related to the ancient divine beast Huanglong.

"Lord Dragon, please continue."

Once the Emperor gave the order, the Azure Lake Dragon Lord continued recounting the records from the ancient texts: "Legend has it that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Yellow Dragon and the Heavenly Dragon fought in the starry sky. In the end, the Heavenly Dragon won and killed the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon fell from the starry sky to the Kunlun Realm and crashed on the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, forming an inland sea with a diameter of three million miles. The dragon's blood was absorbed by the savage beasts in the sea, transforming them into dragons, and thus the Azure Lake Dragon Clan came into being."

"Ruan Feilong has the bloodline of Huanglong in his body, and it is highly likely that he came for Huanglong."

"You mean to say that at the bottom of Qinghu Lake, there is the corpse of a yellow dragon that can rival the Heavenly Dragon?" Xu Sanjin, who had been silent all along, could no longer remain calm.

"Tianlong" is not a branch of the dragon race, but an honorific title meaning a dragon that surpasses all heavens and is even more powerful than the gods. It refers to an ancient being who is mentioned alongside legendary figures such as the Holy Monk Sumeru and the Great Venerable Fudo Myo-o.

Being able to fight Tianlong, even if he dies, Huanglong must have transcended the mortal realm and reached the realm of gods. If the corpse of such a being were discovered, even the Great Sage would go crazy for it, especially the dragons of Kunlun Realm, who would probably all gather at Qinghu.

Emperor Yi was very interested in the yellow dragon corpse mentioned by Qinghu Dragon Lord, guessing that it might be the divine dragon treasure that Ruan Feilong was looking for.

However, at present, Yipintang is empty, and the most urgent task is to find a way to prevent the Baiyue Demonic Cult from completely breaking off relations and launching a large-scale attack.

Xu Sanjin saw his worry and said, "There's no need to worry too much. The head of the Tiantai Prefecture Black Market has arrived near Qingjing Mountain. After the truth about Master Yun's murder is spread, the evil saints of the Central Region Black Market will also arrive at Yipin Hall one after another. Although the Black Market's power in the Central Region is not as great as the Baiyue Demonic Sect, it is not so easy to control."

The emperor nodded slightly, but the pressure in his heart did not lessen at all.

Even if he were to fight head-on with all his might, he could only rival the Wolf King. The Wolf King, not to mention within the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect, would only rank eighth in strength even within the Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"My strength is still too weak. I need to overcome this life-or-death tribulation as soon as possible and become a martial arts saint."
