Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

"The Sanctuary is currently short-handed. If you are willing to shed your sheep's clothing and return to the battlefield, I will naturally welcome you back with open arms on behalf of all the Saints!"

"?! You know the gods' method of feigning death?"

"What's weird?"

Jia Long laughed and said, "Let's not even talk about whether you can kill me, senior. Even if you could, so what? The Holy Domain is currently relying on me and Aiolos. If I die, you'd better prepare to return to your post immediately!"

"Of course I know, otherwise why would I let you be so smug until now?"

Tong Hu snorted coldly.

Compared to the power that Jia Long has shown.

This is the thing that left Tong Hu feeling most helpless.

The kid in front of him was clearly a usurper, but he somehow managed to hold up half the sky of the Holy Land and become the mainstay of the future Holy War, which made it impossible for Tong Hu to avenge his old friend.

Is avenging Shion more important?

Or is holy war more important?

Although Tong Hu is old, he is still clear-headed.

But the more he understood the importance of things, the more frustrated he felt.

Just then, Jia Long's expression turned serious, and he slowly said, "Senior Tong Hu, please don't get involved in my feud with His Majesty Shion. He will have a chance to settle things with me in the future!"

"what?!"

Tong Hu's pupils constricted sharply upon hearing this: "What do you mean?"

Jia Long said calmly, "What I mean is, if His Majesty Shion is content with his death, he won't come back. If he's not content, he has every means to come back to me, doesn't he?"

"Yes, he has a way to come back, and he'll return in his prime, but I absolutely do not want to see that day..."

Tong Hu's expression was solemn.

He knew Shion too well. Was this old friend, whose desire for control was almost pathological, really willing to die like this?

On the other side, Jia Long saw Tong Hu's appearance and didn't say anything more.

In fact, Jia Long knew very well that Shion was mostly unwilling. In the manga, Shion created the Hades Palace, which caused pain to his loved ones and joy to his enemies. What was he after?

A reminder to Athena?

Why kill so many Saint Seiya warriors when a simple phone call could have solved the problem?

Ultimately, he came back to seek validation because he was unwilling to accept defeat!

"Galon, did you come to the Dao Domain just to say this to me?"

At this moment, Tong Hu had recovered his composure and asked in a deep voice, "The Holy War is about to begin, and more and more gods will be revived in various places. The whole world will be shrouded in evil. What you need to pay attention to now is not me and Shion, but those evil gods who are eager to make their move!"

"I came here for the evil gods; I want to find a way to seal their souls!"

Jia Long also said in a deep voice, "Senior Tong Hu, we do not lack the power to defeat evil gods, but among our generation of Saint Seiya, not one can seal a divine soul. This is the biggest weakness of our Sanctuary!"

"I see."

Tong Hu nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "You are not the first Saint to come to the Dao Domain seeking the Godhood Technique, but as you said, the Dao Domain today is not the same as it was 200 years ago..."

"More than 200 years ago, I came to the Dao Domain with the remaining glory of the Holy War. At that time, the immortal warriors of both Yuxu and Biyou would give me some face. But now, more than 200 years have passed, and the warrior world has changed more than a dozen generations, even dozens of generations. New people emerge in each generation, and new people replace the old. Who will remember me now?"

"Now I'm just an unofficial old man in the Lushan Scenic Area, earning a meager living by pretending to be a master. Let alone helping you obtain the art of becoming a god, I can barely even protect the last remaining dignity of the Kang Jinlong lineage!"

"?!"

Jia Long was surprised.

Hearing what Tong Hu said, he felt that this elder of the Holy Domain, one of the two remaining Gold Saints from the previous Holy War, the famous Gold Tiger, seemed to be having a rather miserable time in the Dao Domain!

Even the last vestige of dignity could not be preserved.

You're a retired Saint Seiya, aren't you?

Are the people of the Dao Domain now so arrogant that they don't even know what Saint Seiya is?

It seems they have figured out Jia Long's thoughts.

Tong Hu shook his head, offering no further explanation, and continued speaking of the Investiture of the Gods technique:

"The art of conferring gods is a supreme secret even in Yuxu and Biyou, and it is traditionally passed down to disciples but not sons. Back then, His Majesty Sage and King Alberich XIII came to seek it, and they honestly became disciples of Yuxu and Biyou. It took them more than ten years and countless trials and tests before they were able to inherit it."

Now, you, a foreigner, come to the Dao Domain wanting to learn the art of conferring gods? It's not that simple. The Dao Domain is a place that values ​​sectarianism the most. If you want to learn the art of conferring gods, don't even mention that I have no influence in the Dao Domain now. Even if I could help you get into Jade Void or Azure Wanderer, you'd still have to go through the same old path as His Majesty Saiqi and his ilk.”

Upon hearing this, Jia Long frowned and said, "Is that so? Senior Tong Hu, is there no other way? With evil gods resurfacing all over the world, how can I have time to hang around here for more than ten years?"

If there was really no other way to obtain it, Jia Long could only find a few people who knew the art of bestowing gods to help him.

However, doing so could very likely cause a conflict between the Dao Domain and the Holy Domain. Moreover, the Dao Domain is so mysterious that Jia Long doesn't know who knows the Conferred God Technique. Even if he wanted to cheat, he wouldn't know who to cheat.

We'll have to ask Tong Hu.

Just as Jia Long was about to ask, Tong Hu said leisurely, "It's quite a coincidence. Under normal circumstances, there would be no way to do this, but now, there just happens to be an opportunity to quickly learn the art of the Investiture of the Gods..."

"Oh?"

Chapter 196 Dao Domain! The Crisis of Tong Hu's Sect (Part 1)

Master Biyou, Venerable Yuxu

The Three Pure Ones and the Four Sages guard the soul.

The Twelve Golden Immortals bring peace to the world.

The Twenty-Eight Mansions govern the universe.

……

The Dao Domain was known as the Fairy Realm more than 200 years ago.

In the hearts of the people of the Dao Domain, the center of the world is in the Dao Domain, which is high above all others. The other continents are called Yi in the east, Rong in the west, Man in the south, and Di in the north...

It's all words used to describe wild animals!

Even the mighty Holy Realm is nothing more than a foreign race that needs their help in the eyes of Dao Realm warriors.

The warriors of the Dao Domain are called Immortal Warriors.

In ancient times, due to the differences between Eastern and Western languages, the word "immortal" was transliterated as "carved," so immortal warriors were also known as carved warriors or carved Taoists in various Western regions.

The immortal is the eagle.

The Great Immortal is the Great Eagle.

A true immortal is a true eagle.

The Primordial Limitless Immortal is the Primordial Limitless Sculptor.

When Jia Long heard these amusing stories from Tong Hu, he couldn't help but laugh. However, he was also shocked by the power of the Dao Domain Fighter World.

The Three Pure Ones, the Four Saints, the Twelve Golden Immortals, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations alone have as many as 47 lineages of immortal warriors.

It is said that this is not all.

Many of the legends of the Celestial Warriors have been lost to history.

Today, the Immortal Warriors are mainly divided into two major factions: Jade Void and Azure Wanderer. Jade Void has the lineage of the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Golden Immortals, while Azure Wanderer mainly consists of the Four Saints and the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

Tong Hu's lineage is that of Kang Jinlong, one of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon in the East of Biyou Palace.

Since ancient times, the Dao Domain has been a world of great strife. The Jade Void and the Azure Wanderer factions have been constantly fighting, and the two factions are also constantly embroiled in internal strife. Tong Hu did not want to be confined to internal strife, so he left the Dao Domain and joined the Holy Domain, which fought to protect the earth and all living beings.

The same situation applies to Jia Long's subordinate, the White Dragon of the Draco constellation.

Tong Hu left.

Kang Jinlong's lineage then fell into decline.

The Biyou River, once a powerful force over 200 years ago, has now become a target for everyone to bully. Recently, even the only legacy left by their ancestors—the Golden Dragon Immortal Robe—has been coveted.

The reason is that the Biyou Palace is about to hold the once-a-decade Star Gathering, which can only be attended by warriors who possess the Twenty-Eight Constellation Immortal Robes.

The Kang Jinlong lineage has declined, while the Jiao Mu Jiao lineage, one of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon in the east, is very powerful. Because the families are similar in appearance, they have their eyes on Kang Jinlong's immortal robe.

Recently, the Jiaomujiao lineage has been sending disciples to Kang Jinlong's place to provoke and cause trouble.

A few days ago, Wang Hu, unable to bear it any longer, injured the other party's disciple.

This undoubtedly gave the Jiaomujiao lineage an excuse to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, Kang Jinlong's lineage now only has a handful of members.

If Jiaomu Jiao seizes the opportunity to cause trouble and sends powerful figures to demand an explanation, Kang Jinlong's lineage will have no chance of protecting the Golden Dragon Immortal Robe.

Unless Tong Hu comes out of the mountain!

But how could Tong Hu possibly come out of seclusion for something like this?

A 200-year-old man competing with a bunch of little kids?

Even if Tong Hu were to throw away his pride, his body wouldn't allow it. After sitting in meditation on the Five Old Peaks day and night for over 200 years, his physical functions were only one ten-thousandth of normal. If he exercised too much, he might immediately revert to his original form.

Even when facing Jia Long, whom he hated to the core, he only made a token effort. How could he possibly go to great lengths for a sect fight that had nothing to do with the big picture?

But if I don't leave the mountain, I feel like I'm letting down my sect.

Fortunately, just when I was struggling with this decision...

Jia Long has come seeking the art of bestowing divine titles!

Then Tong Hu had a brilliant idea and came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides...

……

Mount Lu has 171 peaks. Apart from a few that are open to the public as scenic spots, most of the peaks are hidden in thick fog, resembling a fairyland hidden deep in the clouds.

The Jinlong Manor of the Kang Jinlong lineage is located on one of these mountain peaks.

After finishing their work, Wang Hu and Chunli descended from Wulao Peak and headed straight for Jinlong Manor with Jia Long.

"Brother Jia Long, so you're Grandpa Tong Hu's great-grandson! And you were born abroad! My goodness, Brother Jia Long, are you the legendary mixed-race person?"

On the road.

Wang Hu and Chunli pressed Jia Long with questions, their faces full of curiosity.
