Chapter 337 The Number One Gossipmonger

"No one has ever told me any of this," Bai Lu said helplessly.

"It seems the elders knew all along that I was not up to the task."

"Since I have absolutely no qualifications, why did Danfeng choose me back then?"

Faced with Bai Lu's doubts, Dan Heng calmly said:

"This is also the answer I came to Lin Yuan Realm to seek."

"The Dragon Lord is the closest being to immortality among the Vidyadharas."

"According to records, to carry out the orthodox Dragon Lord lineage, one needs to perform a secret ritual called the Dragon Transformation Method, as well as a heavy artifact regarded as the Dragon Heart."

"Once the inheritance is complete, the former Dragon Lord will hatch from an egg, and the new Dragon Lord will reveal his dragon form."

Dan Heng slowly looked at Jianmu Xuangen and said in a deep voice, "However, Dan Feng's ritual can actually be considered a failure."

"His power remained within me... but somehow, it also shaped you."

Bai Lu followed Dan Heng's gaze and looked at Jianmu Xuangen:

"It seems this guy is like a quack doctor who changes prescriptions without authorization?"

"Now look what's happened, you've hurt yourself and others."

"By the way, is the secret technique used by Brother Yan Huan considered orthodox?"

"No, that doesn't count." Dan Heng gently shook his head.

"A body capable of bearing a star core is already quite special; the ability to conjure a second Chongyuan Pearl is even more extraordinary."

"The body of Jianmu and Juemie Dajun contains a large amount of blood rich in divine power..."

"All of these conditions are extremely difficult to obtain."

Silently listening to their conversation, Yan squatted behind them, drawing circles in the soil with a tree branch.

Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"I want to take the opportunity of repairing the Jianmu seal to see if I can awaken our memories..."

Immediately, Dan Heng summoned the Chongyuan Pearl and unleashed its power on the Jianmu Mystic Root:

"To revive the Ruomu tree and quell the plague, the waters of the ancient sea, by the command of the Dragon Lord, are here to suppress the Xuan Gen."

But after he finished reading it, nothing particularly unusual seemed to happen.

"how so……?"

Dan Heng stared blankly at the Chongyuan Pearl in his hand.

"Strange, why is there no response?"

"Hmm? What's wrong? You look troubled."

"Miss Bailu, why don't you try reading it with me?"

"Ok?"

Dan Heng continued, "To prevent the Ruomu tree from reviving, the plague of longevity will continue..."

Bai Lu also started reciting along with him.

"To revive the Ruomu tree and quell the plague, the waters of the ancient sea, by the command of the Dragon Lord, are here to suppress the Xuan Gen."

Under the influence of the two people's power, a strange change occurred at the root of the Jianmu tree.

The waters of the ancient sea obeyed the two's commands, continuously washing over the Xuan Gen, emitting specks of fluorescent light.

The aura of the Jianmu tree grew increasingly weak.

“This wonderful feeling…” Bai Lu raised an eyebrow.

"You...did it." Dan Heng said solemnly.

"No need for outsiders' approval, this alone is enough to prove that you are the true Dragon Lord."

"Did anything come to mind when you rebuilt the seal?"

Bai Lu pursed her lips and recalled:

"Hmm, it's like a tide is surging through my mind, and I feel like I've become incredibly huge. The entire Scale Abyss Realm is responding to my voice and resonating with me..."

"Hey, this is fun."

"Danheng, teach me some other methods, and see if I can remember anything else."

"Um... wait a minute."

Dan Heng's expression changed slightly. He turned around and looked at Yan Huan, who was squatting behind him.

"Yan Huan, can you feel it? Someone is approaching."

“I saw them; they’ve been standing there for a long time.”

Yan silently stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at the several men in black standing not far from him.

"what?!"

The men in black were startled by Yan Huan's gaze:

"How did you see us within our Cloud Chanting Technique?!"

"I'm not blind." His dark red eyes stared at the assassins, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"These kids have been watching you two as you seal the Jianmu tree. Looks like they're from the Chiming clan."

"Hmph, nonsense! Now that we've been discovered, don't blame us for being rude!"

"..."

They saw the assassins charging towards them in a large, imposing manner.

Yan remained calm and simply extended a finger towards them.

"boom--!!"

In an instant, a terrifying force surged forth, causing the assassins to fall to their knees and tremble with fear!

They lay sprawled on the ground, their very souls filled with terror!

Couldn't come back to God for a long time.

"..." Looking at these assassins who were instantly killed, Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"They manipulated the mist with cloud chanting techniques, deceiving our vision, which is why we didn't notice them approaching."

"Just like when we came, assassins have probably been lying in ambush here all along."

"It seems that someone has had enough of my presence."

Mr. Yan turned around and asked:

"Shall we retreat?"

Danheng nodded:

"The number of assassins is unknown. The seal has now been reinforced. Let's leave."

The three of them retraced their steps.

Along the way, Bailu saw the mysterious mirages that had inexplicably appeared around her, and immediately exclaimed in alarm:

"Look, that shadow moving over there... Could it be an assassin?!"

Dan Heng shook his head slightly:

"Don't be afraid, those things are not hostile."

As the group slowly approached the ghostly mirage, an aged voice echoed through the air.

"This power... is like the surging tides of the Scaled Abyss Realm. It's you, Danfeng... have you returned?"

Dan Heng spoke up:

You've probably mistaken me for someone else.

He explained to Bailu:

"These drifting shadows are called mirages. They are the memories of the past lives that the Vidyadharas lost when they molted and emerged from eggs in the ancient sea, echoes of the past."

Bai Lu nodded gently:

"I've heard that, according to the books, these shadows only speak to people they recognize, and the water on their bodies can be used as medicine!"

"Used in medicine?" Yan's eyes lit up immediately: "I was so busy listening to them talk about melons last time, did they know this stuff can be sold for money?"

"Uh...you won't sell much either." Bai Lu said helplessly, hands on her hips.

"At most, you can collect the water off them and sell it to our Dan Ding Si."

"Oh? Your Medicine King's secret teachings are really generous."

"It's the Pill Refining Department, not the Medicine King's Secret Teachings!"

Danheng stared intently at the mirage before him:

"Look at this shadow, it has mistaken me for Danfeng."

The aged voice came again:

"There's no mistake, I recognize your voice. Hmph, have you come to the holy land to repent?"

"You, the chosen one of heaven, the great hero of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, heh heh... You fought against us your whole life, but in the end, you've fallen to such a pitiful state?"

"Your skillful use of the Dragon Transformation Technique created that monstrous dragon, which nearly destroyed the Scale Abyss Realm!"

"If it weren't for your friends working together to slay it, the seal on the Jianmu tree would probably have been destroyed! Seeing that wicked dragon perish, didn't you feel heartbroken?! Hahahaha!"

"..." Dan Heng narrowed his eyes.

Yan glanced at Bai Lu:
