A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 668 Immortal Enters the Game to Explore Clues, Since Ancient Times, the Dragon King Has an Immortal Body

The name Laojun Mountain is not uncommon. There are two most famous Laojun Mountains in the world: one is the Laojun Mountain in Luoyang, and the other is the Laojun Mountain located in the Shennongjia primeval forest.

Following the aura of the inviter, Qi Yungao and his two companions flew across the vast land in the blink of an eye and arrived in the Shennongjia Forest.

It is evening now, the sky is dotted with stars, the night is thick, the fog in the woods is gradually thickening, but Lao Jun Mountain is as bright as day.

Because around Lao Jun Mountain, there are huge blue lightning bolts connecting heaven and earth.

The lightning seemed to freeze, motionless and silent, yet it exuded a sinister aura that instinctively deterred people.

Qi Yungao frowned slightly when he saw the solidified blue lightning. He deliberately avoided the area where the lightning was dense and found a place with a larger gap before landing on Lao Jun Mountain.

Sure enough, there were more than two hundred palaces and Taoist temples stretching out on the mountain. The most eye-catching one was the main hall, which was where Zhenwu the Great and the Turtle and Snake Generals were enshrined.

Above the plaque in the main hall are five large, dark gold characters that read "Fengtian Zhenwu Shrine". The characters are vigorous and powerful, with dots like rocks collapsing from cliffs and strokes like withered vines that have stood for thousands of years. They are unique, lofty, majestic and sharp.

Fang Baixue was slightly taken aback when she saw the five large characters. Her eyes became somewhat unfocused, as if she could sense the awe-inspiring, eternal, and righteous spirit of wielding a sword to vanquish demons.

Her first mission as a reincarnator was in the world of "Chinese Hero," where she received guidance from Hua Yingxiong and learned the Chinese Pride Technique, laying the foundation for her later cultivation path.

Although the moves of that sword technique have been discarded by her now, the Crimson Sword Intent she initially comprehended from it has undergone countless trials and tribulations, absorbing the mysteries of many divine martial arts manuals, and has become increasingly outstanding.

To advance from the peak of six stars to seven stars, one basically needs to forge their own path.

If Fang Baixue were to break through, it would most likely be by using sword intent to break through the divine barrier. However, when she is stuck at this crucial moment, even if she has many profound classics to study, they may not be of any use.

Unexpectedly, today she found complete clarity about the path she should take from this plaque.

With just a little more time to develop, her sword intent will be able to surpass that level.

When Fang Baixue regained consciousness, she caught a glimpse of Murong Changhai rubbing his eyes.

When he lowered his hands, his face was still the same, but it gave people a surprisingly harmonious feeling.

It's strange, because I never thought Murong Changhai's eyes were any different from the rest of his body.

However, compared to his current state, it is very obvious that those eyes were a heavy burden for him in the past, far less relaxed and free than they are now.

It seems that Murong Changhai also gained some unexpected benefits from this plaque.

Qi Yungao did not immerse himself in understanding the plaque; however, after seeing the situation of his two teammates, he became more cautious.

The fact that this plaque can bring such visible benefits to two peak six-star reincarnators makes it a rather obscure and rare seven-star treasure.

The fact that such a treasure is so openly hung on the temple gate suggests that the profound history of the Fengtian Zhenwu Temple may be even more unfathomable than he had anticipated.

"When I was observing the aura, I vaguely sensed that the upper echelons of the entire Tianmeng Empire seemed to harbor considerable hostility towards True Person Fengming."

Qi Yungao was the first to enter the main hall, saying, "Our use of the Tianmeng Empire to shield us from disaster should also greatly benefit you, Master. I wonder what your intention is in obstructing our actions?"

Inside the main hall was only a middle-aged Taoist priest with thick eyebrows and a short beard, exuding an imposing aura without anger. He wore a loose gray Taoist robe, had a bamboo hairpin in his hair, sat cross-legged on a futon, his hands hanging down on his knees, and closed his eyes to meditate.

Upon hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him.

"Among those pursuing you is an eight-star reincarnator from the headquarters of [Secret Language]. If you truly enter this realm, you will have little chance of escape."

Master Fengming's words were astonishing, revealing that he actually had a considerable understanding of the Main God Space. However, before the three people opposite him could respond, he continued to utter even more shocking words.

"I have a friend who has already swept those pursuers into other world groups, so you don't need to worry about pursuers anymore."

Although these two passages were quite significant, the three reincarnated beings were of extraordinary character and did not lose their composure.

After a brief silence, Qi Yungao said, "Forgive my bluntness, but whether it's the Tianmeng Empire or the rebel army, the top combat power seems to be only seven stars. Although your cultivation is more profound than mine, you are still within this range."

"May I ask who your friend is, that he could send away a pursuing team including an eight-star Reincarnator?"

Master Fengming said calmly, "The causal traces you saw at the source of time and space were the result of a battle between three powerful beings in a distant part of the Boundary Sea."

"Among those three parties, one of them is known as the Phoenix Cry Celestial Venerable, who is also a reincarnator. He is the one who took away the pursuers."

Qi Yungao's expression changed slightly: "Phoenix Cry True Man, Phoenix Cry Heavenly Venerable, the same name, could it be...?"

Master Fengming shook his head and said, "I am not his clone. To make an analogy, if a person has looked in a thousand mirrors, then he has a thousand different reflections. I am just like one of his shadows."

"However, human nature is three parts innate and seven parts acquired. I was born in this world, grew up in this world, and must also strive for this world. My actions are not manipulated by him, but come from my heart. The relationship between him is best described as that of friends."

Those who reincarnate have a very wide range of knowledge.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yungao immediately understood.

The very existence of an eight-star powerhouse already radiates outwards and influences the surrounding world clusters, causing the emergence of derivative entities corresponding to the original entity.

The concept of the existence of nine-star powerhouses naturally has a wider impact.

Under normal circumstances, these derivative things have no connection with the original.

Many derivative things are unaware of the existence of the original entity. They are also independent beings, capable of self-cultivation, with their own future, and their life and death are their own affairs.

However, if the original entity were to perish, it might be possible to rebuild its influence and achieve a revival through its derivative entities.

Of course, if a powerful being has not perished and deliberately wants to communicate with certain derivative things, then it will be even easier.

"Since this is a three-way conflict affecting the vast sea of ​​realms, the influence of that Phoenix Cry Celestial Venerable in this realm must not be absolute. He helped us block the pursuers, and the True Person invited us here. Is there something we can do for you?"

Qi Yungao cupped his hands and said, "Please speak frankly, Master, and we will do our utmost to repay your kindness."

Master Fengming immediately explained the situation.

Those three high-level nine-star experts are currently mainly fighting using causal supernatural powers, which can also be called a war of cause and effect.

Qi Yungao and his two companions came from the [Eternal Life] battle group, which was quite special among the supreme battle groups. They had some main god orbs under their command and were not affected by the previous main god turmoil.

Therefore, the karmic connections involving the three of them represent a massive new resource for Li Changling and the Buddha.

Previously, Murong Changhai was almost dragged into the chaotic traces of cause and effect at the source of time, because Li Changling was preparing to attack them, but Guan Luoyang blocked him in time.

If Li Changling and the Buddha want to delve deeper into the causal system surrounding the three of them, they must now employ more direct methods from within this world.

"In short, Phoenix Cry Celestial Venerable wants to know, when his opponents interfere with the cause and effect of various realms, in what form does their supernatural influence exist?"

Master Fengming said, "Now is an excellent opportunity. If we observe what is targeting you in this world, we may be able to find clues."

The three reincarnators looked at each other, their faces stiff.

Was it because they were used as bait that they developed a sense of resistance? No, that's not it.

Their current situation is more like taking a treasure they don't know about and jumping right into the mouth of an ancient ferocious beast.

Murong Changhai's previous feeling was not a misperception. It is likely that after the other party has exhausted their causal potential, their fate will be complete destruction due to overload.

Phoenix Cry Celestial Venerable was actually the one who saved them.

If the Celestial Venerable Fengming doesn't take care of them, they will eventually be found and devoured by that ferocious beast.

If they cooperate with Phoenix Cry Celestial Venerable to probe the beast's weaknesses, and Phoenix Cry Celestial Venerable gains the upper hand, then they might be able to escape successfully, which is clearly a better choice.

The problem is, they were only escorting supplies for a medium-sized combat group.

It's bad enough to attract the covetous eyes of an eight-star expert, but to be targeted by a nine-star expert is just too much bad luck.

Why would becoming a formal member of the Supreme Battle Group somehow turn you into such a highly sought-after commodity on some unknown level?

The stiff expressions on Qi Yungao and the others' faces were because they didn't really want to accept reality and admit that they had suddenly encountered such bad luck.

"You don't need to worry too much."

Seeing their expressions, Master Fengming quickly offered a few words of comfort.

"Although the influence those three left behind in this world may not necessarily manifest in human form."

"But since the three parties have formed a new balance of power, the only way to deal with you is through the most direct means. So, whether it's through some mysterious force or some other form, in the end, they will definitely have to use local strongmen to capture you."

"Among the local strongmen, there are no figures who have surpassed the seven-star level, so you still have the ability to protect yourselves."

Qi Yungao's expression calmed down: "Does Master Fengming mean that the three of us should stay on Lao Jun Mountain and wait for them to attack us, so that we can find out what exactly is driving them to make this decision?"

"I have an invincible enemy under my Lao Jun Mountain. It's fine for me to fight him directly from here, but if I leave, things will definitely change. So, having you stay here is the safest way."

Master Fengming's eyes brightened slightly as he said, "But judging from your tone, it seems you're willing to choose a riskier, but potentially more effective, alternative?"

Qi Yungao said frankly, "Being in a dangerous situation is a fait accompli, so it's worth taking more risks in order to pursue efficiency."

The various Reincarnator bases under the 【Eternal Life】 chapter have the lowest casualty rate, but that doesn't mean they don't encounter risks or experience the trials of life-or-death battles.

In fact, when the time comes, the members of the [Eternal Life] battle group are also very good at seizing opportunities and turning the tide of battle.

"good!"

Master Fengming let out a long breath and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Then I want you to attack the Marshal's Mansion of Taiping Xingguo."

"This isn't acting; it's a full-scale attack!"

………………

Among the righteous forces in the world today, besides the Eternal Longevity Boundless White Lotus Sect, the most powerful should be the Taiping Xingguo Marshal's Mansion.

The Marshal's Mansion commands a vast territory and a million soldiers, whose strength has reached a quarter of that of the Tianmeng Empire.

The area was filled with strategists who possessed various magical arts and spells, could regulate celestial phenomena and geography, accumulate grain and provisions, and conserve the people's strength.

Generals are as numerous as raindrops, and martial arts skills are generously passed down. They eliminate evil spirits from all over the land, conquer cities and seize territories, and train soldiers to cultivate their inner strength.

But the undisputed strongest figure in the entire Taiping Army was their Grand Marshal, Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Qi Yungao was on his way to the capital of the Taiping Army, he saw the hundred-zhang-high city wall and the orderly people and soldiers in the square city. He suddenly had a feeling and, combined with the information given to him by Fengming Zhenren, he learned some details about Zhu Yuanzhang by observing the qi.

Since ancient times, there have been five types of dragons in this world: red, yellow, black, white, and blue.

Under the leadership of the five great dragon kings, who were born of heaven and earth and were immortal and indestructible, the Five-Colored Dragon Clan once developed to an extremely powerful state, enslaving the stars, wandering in space, and establishing star gates to facilitate travel.

However, the red dragon is easily angered, the yellow dragon is belligerent, the black dragon loves to spread fear, the white dragon is arrogant and doesn't care about the cause, and the azure dragon's energy transforms into flesh and blood and plants.

The various races of the starry sky could not tolerate this and gradually rose up in resistance. The dragon race weakened as a result. However, the five great dragon kings were immortal and returned, slaughtering all the races until they were devastated. Only the human race could still resist them.

Finally, on this planet, the human race gathered together. Guang Chengzi forged a golden ship in Kongtong, and Xuanyuan piloted the ship, successively suppressing the five dragon kings. Utilizing the mutual generation and restraint of the five dragons, and using the yellow dragon as a guide, the five dragons fell into slumber.

But the influence of the dragons lingered, and the fate of the human race became intertwined with that of the dragons.

The fortune of each dynasty of the human race corresponds to one of the five dragons. If the dynasty lasts for too long and the rule becomes corrupt and the fortune becomes unbalanced, it will awaken the corresponding dragon king, weaken the seal on its body, and cause a great disaster.

The Five Elements alternate, dynasties rise and fall, and one Dragon King after another is broken free and then sealed again, in an endless cycle.

Even after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, due to the long period of chaos, the dozen or so continents and major kingdoms on this planet all had their flaws. At most, they could only maintain a partial peace and could not be unified. After hundreds of years of back and forth, all five Dragon Kings were finally broken free of their seals.

Genghis Khan, a man of extraordinary talent, bathed in the blood of the Yellow Dragon and the Black Dragon, and cultivated divine skills, enabling the two dragons to check and balance each other, thus becoming one with the fate of the Tianmeng Empire.

The hybrid dragon offspring born from the mutation of dragon energy all hold high positions in the Tianmeng Empire. He wants to use this method to break the fate of the succession of dynasties and completely bind the two dragon kings to the Tianmeng Empire.

However, despite their profound cultivation, Temujin, Möngke, and Kublai Khan all died young one after another. The two Dragon Kings, on the contrary, became the supreme symbols of the Tianmeng Empire. Even when Temujin's descendants inherited the throne, they had to be crowned by the Dragon King. It is hard to say what is strange about this.

The Azure Dragon caused the most trouble. Not long after the seal was broken, it was suppressed by the Phoenix Cry Immortal.

Bai Long encountered a remarkable Buddhist monk named Peng, who poured his heart and soul into calming him with Buddhist spiritual power. Peng also created a secret method to integrate the fortune of his White Lotus Sect into Bai Long's body, thus making Bai Long and the White Lotus Sect share the same fate, prospering together and suffering together.

The red dragon, however, has vanished without a trace.

In fact, the Crimson Dragon once traveled with the Azure Dragon. During the battle when the Azure Dragon was suppressed, the Crimson Dragon's true body was destroyed by the Phoenix Cry Immortal, who extracted the Immortal Dragon Soul and prepared to forge a powerful True Martial Demon-Slaying Thunder.

The immortal dragon soul is immortal and indestructible; it can be reborn after exploding. In particular, the red dragon is fire-elemental, and its explosion is even more terrifying.

If one could master this divine artifact, subduing the Tianmeng Empire, intimidating all directions, and creating a prosperous era where the people could live in peace and contentment would be within reach.

Unfortunately, after years of pondering, Master Fengming felt that once this magic weapon was unleashed, it would shatter stars and destroy all living beings. He could not find a way to concentrate its power to kill the ringleader without harming innocent civilians.

Before his death, Monk Peng secretly sensed this matter, approached him, and proposed another plan.

This monk sacrificed his own life to gather the incense and spiritual power of all the Buddhist sages throughout history, using them to brainwash the Red Dragon's soul and dispel its old memories.

Although the dragon soul is immortal, memories are not eternal.

With this pure dragon soul, combined with the right time and place, select a child, merge with it, and teach it well.

If this immortal dragon soul could eventually grow into an immortal and benevolent ruler, wouldn't that be an immense blessing?

Moreover, if this attempt succeeds, then there will be a way to deal with the other four Dragon Kings.

The person whose soul was so fierce that it could merge with the Crimson Dragon Soul was none other than Zhu Yuanzhang.

He received guidance and instruction from Master Fengming, and also inherited the complete mantle of Monk Peng. Although he was not recognized by the White Lotus Sect, he fought on his own and organized a righteous army force that was no less powerful than the White Lotus Sect.

If he can integrate the White Lotus Sect and completely overthrow the Tianmeng Empire within the next twenty years, it seems that he can fulfill the expectations of True Man Fengming and Monk Peng.

But at this critical juncture, Master Fengming has ordered Qi Yungao to attack and kill Zhu Yuanzhang, which is somewhat puzzling.

Although the Crimson Dragon Soul is indestructible, Zhu Yuanzhang was ultimately a human, not a born Crimson Dragon King. If his true body were shattered, it's hard to say whether the Crimson Dragon Soul would retain his complete memories.

Or is it that Master Fengming is so confident that Zhu Yuanzhang can definitely defeat Qi Yungao and that there will be no variables that could endanger the Taiping Rebellion?

Qi Yungao had already arrived above the city and didn't have time to think about anything else. He clenched his fist with a flick of his fingers, controlled his torrent of magical power with exquisite precision, concentrated it, and threw a punch down.

White clouds drift by, a gentle breeze rustles the grass, the scenery remains unchanged, and the city bustles with activity.

Despite the impact of that punch, nothing seemed to change anywhere in the world.

However, in the main hall of the Marshal's Mansion, many strategists and generals felt an indescribable and intense pressure.

At first, it seemed like just a tiny speck of dust pressing down overhead, but as it drew closer, it was suddenly discovered that within that speck of dust were the seven oceans, and even a giant fish, thousands of miles long, stirring up waves and crashing against it.

The Northern Darkness Rebirth Method, the Kunpeng Refining Diagram, the Kun strikes the dust, creating three thousand waves!

These strategists and generals are all highly skilled, and some are even at the peak of the sixth star level. If they work together, they may be able to withstand this attack.

But right now, in the Marshal's Mansion hall, there is someone whose reaction is bound to be faster than theirs, and who is bound to be standing in front of them.

The burly man sitting in the main seat, with skin as rough as a farmer's, had raised his head and raised his fist towards the sky.

Several strategists in the hall had already changed their expressions. The newcomer was no ordinary person, but if the Grand Marshal did not want the battle to affect the city's various industries, he would probably suffer a silent loss.

At the same moment the punch was thrown, the divine fire destroyed Zhu Yuanzhang's upper body clothing, instantly turning his skin a deep red color, with golden incantations appearing on it. His hair ornament exploded, and his thick, long hair swept away, turning completely white.

When the two fists collided in mid-air, the roof of the Marshal's Mansion suddenly disappeared, and the entire hall sank down neatly, extending more than 500 miles into the earth.

It was as if a bottomless square well had suddenly appeared in the center of this city.

Qi Yungao's heart stirred slightly, and he secretly praised: What a brilliant move!

In that instant, the penetration of the divine fire caused the aftershocks of the collision between the two fists to completely transform into a downward penetrating force, without spreading outwards at all.

As the hall continued to sink, Zhu Yuanzhang's figure transformed into a streak of fire, breaking through space and appearing high in the sky. His domineering fist slammed upwards towards Qi Yungao.

Rising Dragon Fist, Dragon Breaks Through the Nine Heavens!
