Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 827 Dongting Water Lord - Xu Qing
"The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon?"

Xu Xuan, who was chanting the incantation, looked completely bewildered.

"You mean... this is the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon?"

"No... have you seen the movie too, Qilicha?"

I can actually laugh when I'm completely speechless, but it's a rather dry laugh.

Although he was given the Dharma name Fahai by his patriarch, which sounds somewhat domineering, it was also a bit of a coincidence.

We pay homage to the World-Honored One, Ksitigarbha, because we are being cared for by Him in the underworld.

They also chant the six-syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum".

The mantra was passed down from the Tathagata of the Lotus Flower, then to Shakyamuni Buddha, then to the Bodhisattva Sarvanivaranaviskambhin, and finally spread and flourished. Almost all Buddhist disciples know a couple of lines of this mantra.

Xu Xuan really had no intention of creating a Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon.

The mantra he was performing was from the "Great Compassion Dharani Sutra of the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva," which contains a mantra for invoking heavenly dragons and Dharma protectors.

If one can recite and uphold this Dharma in accordance with the Dharma, and generate compassion for all sentient beings, I will then command all benevolent deities, dragon kings, and Vajra secret protectors to constantly accompany and protect them, never leaving their side.

This incantation temporarily elevates Xiaoqing to the rank of a benevolent dragon king, using the power of Dongting Lake to fight against Yunmeng. Combined with the ancient Nuo ritual of Yu the Great's excavation of the Dragon Gate, it can recreate the ancient power within the secret realm!
The battle of wits has long since transcended the level of magic.

It's a battle of reason! It's a contest of history! It's a fight for existence!
Just as Bai Suzhen's imperial chariot could determine the four seasons and the climate, a simple move could give her an absolute advantage.

After three years of cultivation, Xu Xuan finally grasped the true meaning of the Great Dao:

"So, Qilicha... what are you barking like a dog?"

"You yourself are practicing the Eight Heavenly Dragons' Oath of Protection, can't you see the difference?"

“Dharma protectors and Dharma guardian deities are not the same, and benevolent dragon kings and ordinary dragons are not the same, therefore…”

"That's right, this is the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"

Before Xu Xuan could explain, Xiao Qing had already started spouting nonsense by flicking her dragon tail.

Excitement gleamed in her golden dragon eyes. For her, being handsome was a lifelong matter! The underlying principles were utterly unimportant!
"I am the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, and I am the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon."

"What does Xu Xuan, who only knows how to chant incantations, know?"

Xu Xuan sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Forcibly converging world lines? Randomly defining supernatural powers? This snake demon's thought process is simply...

But looking at Xiaoqing's golden scales and the majestic dragon-patterned halo behind her...

"Fine, fine..." Xu Xuan sighed and made a hand seal: "If you say Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, then it's Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon..."

Anyway, having a lot of debt isn't a problem, and having many different identities isn't a burden.

If you've already become Fahai, what are you afraid of?
He continued to cast the divine spell, and at this moment, the Dragon Gate within Xiaoqing's body was activated.

The ferocity ignited by the bloody battle, the resentment accumulated in Dongting Lake, the obsession with survival in Yunmeng, the Buddhist power infused by the Dragon Curse, and Xu Xuan, this chaotic variable...

All these irrational factors combined to create an evolution that defies common sense!

"Roar--"

Xiaoqing's dragon roar suddenly became ethereal and distant, and the phantom images of the sun and moon appeared deep in her golden eyes. However, the scales on her body began to lose their gold color and turned into a translucent glassy luster!
This is also why Bai Suzhen looked over; she sensed that her sister's essence was being sublimated.

What's more troublesome is that she keenly sensed that the path after the sun and moon was not the normal one.
As someone who possesses the Chilong Sword and is also a snake, Bai Suzhen has an extraordinary understanding of the path to becoming a dragon.

The current evolutionary direction is neither Jiao, Ying, Qiu, nor Chi, and it has not manifested the Four Symbols, thus escaping the category of the Five Elements.

She strongly suspects that an unexpected factor occurred during this evolution.

The bloodbath activates bloodlines, that's reasonable. The grudge over Dongting Lake, that's reasonable. The struggle for survival in Yunmeng, that's reasonable. The Dragon Curse is the orthodox Dharma of Buddhism, that's reasonable. The Dragon Clan's destiny, that's reasonable. So the only unreasonable thing is... Xu Xuan?
Suddenly I'm so worried, what if my sister also... but it's too late to stop it now.

Xiaoqing and Xu Xuan's figures gradually overlapped in the lightning, transforming into a pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth.

The wind and rain of Dongting Lake cheered and rejoiced, and the turbid waves condensed into thousands of water spirits, paying homage to the pillar of light;

The thunder of Yunmengze roared in anger, and the phantom of an ancient demon god appeared amidst the dark clouds overhead, but it crumbled inch by inch!
"boom--"

Xu Xuan felt an endless torrent of information flooding into his mind:
Three thousand years of Dongting fishermen's songs, fragments of power left by the water gods of past dynasties, the incense and prayers of the people along the shore, and even... the remnants of the dragon clan's fortune!

A massive amount of information poured in regardless of the circumstances.

Come, come, I give you everything I have!
There is great terror between life and death.

No Suigen has ever received such support from the waters, and there never will be.

At this critical juncture, Dongting Lake placed all its hopes on this place!

If it were a simple-minded green snake like Xiaoqing, she definitely wouldn't be able to accept it, but coincidentally, it wasn't; Xu Xuan could.

The Nuo mask hums, and the smiling old man commands water across the nine provinces, establishing his rule over the world.

The white lotus spun, and the image of the Holy Father stood on a thirty-six-petaled white lotus, with the fire of wisdom burning wildly.

It actually managed to integrate this massive power into one and absorb it all.

At the height of the storm—a figure emerged, riding the waves:

What a fierce and imposing venerable one! But look at where the wind and rain parted—

Xu Xuan revealed his sixteen-foot-tall golden body, which was like a glass pagoda, but was covered with a layer of blue dragon scales, which were blue with gold, and each scale was engraved with the talisman of the Dongting Water Palace.

His eyes transformed into crimson golden pupils, his left eye like boiling lava, and his right eye like condensed golden light, illuminating the demonic aura of Yunmeng Marsh with a hissing sound, which then dissipated into green smoke.

Most striking is the five-colored halo behind his head, which revolves amidst chanting and dragon roars:
The black wheel is like an abyss, devouring all kinds of magic; the golden wheel is like a bell, resounding with the Vajra Buddha's voice; the red wheel is like fire, burning away karmic obstacles and causes and effects; the white wheel is like the moon, converting demons and ghosts; the blue wheel is like a dragon, manifesting the majesty of the Dongting Lake Water Lord!
There was also a phantom image of a one-eyed dragon coiling around its body. This dragon's head was as majestic as the snow-capped peaks of Kunlun, with a vertical eye on its forehead that was half-open and half-closed, horns like coral branches, and whiskers like the Milky Way.

With a single roar, he shattered three hundred miles of thunderclouds!

"Now, it's time for Xu Qing, the Water Lord of Dongting Lake!"

The double reverberation echoed across the battlefield, and the omnipresent malice of Yunmeng in his spiritual perception melted away like snow—

I can't ban your account, but I can at least open it a little.

"Xiaoqing, it's time to go."

"Ok!"

After a brief exchange, Xu Xuan (Qing) looked up at the clouds—a hundred-foot-tall cloud god? Imperial majesty?

"Ah……"

A狰狞 smile, the complete opposite of the tranquility of Buddhism, appeared:
"It's not like it takes three years of cultivation now..."

"This cultivation of 506 years—"

"Can you catch it?!"

"boom!!!"

With a single step, the lake surface shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks spread for thousands of miles. At the very center, the pure force even created a vacuum!
His figure had already teleported to the top of Yun Zhongjun's head!

"Qiang——!"

With the Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords in hand, demonic sword energy soared into the sky!

The sword trembled violently, as if in celebration:
That's it! Only such insane and extreme individuals can unleash their full ferocity!
