Urban Immortal Lord
Chapter 278 Breaking Free from Seal, Dragon Returns to the Sea
If this were a thousand years ago, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant, the Black Dragon King was confident that it could also refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at will.
However, during the hundreds of years it was sealed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became extremely thin, and it was simply unable to absorb enough spiritual energy to repair its damaged foundation.
Even Longhu Mountain, hundreds of years ago, was considered a blessed land for cultivation. However, with the passage of time and the Black Flood Dragon King's continuous refining of the mountain's spiritual energy, it almost emptied the entire spiritual veins of Longhu Mountain. This is why it was able to manifest in the form of a "spiritual body," plundering the areas in the North Sea rich in spiritual energy and disrupting the peace of the region.
Otherwise, given the severely damaged state of the Black Dragon King's foundation, it would have long been obliterated by the seal of Dragon Tiger Mountain, turning into scorched earth.
But now, this young man is able to easily extract the sparse spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the turbid seawater and transform it into pure spiritual energy!
Having cultivated for thousands of years, the Black Flood Dragon King, with its peak Tribulation Transcending stage perspective, could naturally discern a clue: the cultivation technique practiced by the young man before him was, even in the cultivation world, absolutely a 'Celestial Treasure Manual' level existence!
It was only at this moment that the Black Dragon King finally believed that what the young man said was true, and that within a hundred years, its cultivation would definitely recover to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage!
"Young man, tell me your conditions."
Many thoughts flashed through the Black Dragon King's mind, but reason ultimately prevailed over impulse, and its gaze gradually softened, even becoming expectant.
From their previous encounter, the Black Flood Dragon King knew that even if it used all its trump cards, it would be unable to defeat the young cultivator before it.
Furthermore, although this young cultivator had a low level of cultivation, he remained calm and composed throughout, which made it wary of him.
Xia Tian was naturally unaware of the countless thoughts flashing through the Black Dragon King's mind at that moment, but even if he had known, he would have been fearless.
This peerless demon was powerful in the past, but now it is merely at the end of its strength.
Moreover, Xia Tian had just used the "Humanity Method" to gather the spiritual energy of this place, which actually deceived the Black Dragon King's discerning eye, making it impossible for him to see the origin of the technique.
This shows that the knowledge of this demonic dragon was nothing special.
"You're not stupid, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
Xia Tian smiled faintly and said, "How about this, we make a deal: you protect me for a hundred years, and after a hundred years, when your cultivation reaches the Tribulation Transcending stage, I will set you free. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, the Black Flood Dragon King was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I have roamed the cultivation world for thousands of years, with countless demons bowing before me. Now, do you think you can enslave me for a hundred years based on just a single word from a human youth?"
"Um?"
Xia Tian's expression changed, and his gaze turned cold as he looked at the Black Flood Dragon King. Since this demonic dragon was so stubborn, he prepared to unleash the immortal sword "Sword Spirit" within his body to completely annihilate it here.
"I agree; I will protect you for a hundred years!"
Just as Xia Tian's murderous intent was rising, the Black Dragon King suddenly changed his tone and readily agreed to his conditions.
Seeing this, Xia Tian's murderous intent gradually subsided.
"Lead the way."
Summer was too lazy to waste any more words with the 'Black Dragon King', so she simply extended her right hand in a gesture of invitation.
Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon King's eyes immediately blazed with intense heat. Instantly, its body shrank rapidly at a visible speed, transforming into a miniature snake. With a whoosh, it turned into a streak of light and slipped into Xia Tian's sleeve.
Summer never expected that the chaos caused by demons in Beihai would be resolved so easily.
Next, they would meet up with Zhang Banxian and then head to Longhu Mountain to break the seal on the Black Flood Dragon King.
……
Above the North Sea.
The young man, dressed in short sleeves, walked calmly on the waves.
Under his divine sense, he finally found the figure of the stinky Taoist priest Zhang Banxian on a beach a hundred miles away.
At this moment, Zhang Banxian looked exhausted, his eyes constantly gazing at the vast sea, like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around.
Before long, Zhang Banxian's expression changed from surprise to joy, because he saw that several miles away, the figure of the young man was slowly flying towards him from afar.
Before long, the boy appeared on the beach.
"You stinking Taoist priest, what are you standing there for?"
Seeing Zhang Banxian staring blankly at him, Xia Tian couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You stinky Taoist priest, looking so lost and bewildered, do you think I've died at the bottom of the sea?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Banxian belatedly realized his mistake and said with an embarrassed smile, "This humble Taoist priest had long ago predicted that Master Xia would be blessed with good fortune and unparalleled divine power. A mere dragon is nothing to deal with."
Zhang Banxian resumed his usual practice, showering Xia Tian with flattery.
"Yeah?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light flashed from Xia Tian's sleeve, instantly transforming into a dragon several tens of feet long.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Banxian was terrified, staring in horror at the ferocious dragon. Under its oppressive power, he collapsed to the ground.
Immediately, he looked at Xia Tian with pleading eyes.
"Little Taoist, you've got quite the nerve. Even your ancestor from Longhu Mountain is like an ant before me!"
The Black Dragon King was furious and opened its blood-red maw as if to swallow Zhang Banxian whole.
"Alright, you stinky Taoist, stop flattering me. This fellow Taoist and I became friends after a fight."
Xia Tian acted as a peacemaker, looking at the rampaging Black Flood Dragon King, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, this is a trivial matter and not worth taking to heart. The most urgent task is to break the seal on Dragon Tiger Mountain and help you regain your freedom."

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon King was finally satisfied. With a way out, it naturally wouldn't dwell on such a trivial matter.
Moreover, it could also tell that the two people in front of it seemed to have an unusual relationship.
Instantly, its form shrank and returned to the sleeves of summer.
"Let's go, let's go to Longhu Mountain."
Xia Tian made a quick decision and instructed Zhang Banxian to take charge.
Although Zhang Banxian was full of confusion at the moment, he was sensible and did not ask for the reason. Instead, he flew excitedly towards the direction of Longhu Mountain.
……
Longhu Mountain.
This is a mountain range located on the southwestern edge of J Province, with an average elevation of about two thousand meters and a main peak elevation of nearly three thousand meters.
Because the founder of the Longhu Mountain sect established his sect here hundreds of years ago, this place has become a sacred place for countless practitioners.
However, as time went by, only Zhang Banxian remained as the sole heir of the Longhu Mountain lineage, and its former glory was gone.
Furthermore, with the Earth's spiritual energy depleted, the path of cultivation seems to have been severed, and immortals are nowhere to be found in the mortal world.
However, the legend of the "Celestial Master" of Longhu Mountain has become one of the tourist attractions that visitors from all over the country flock to hundreds of years later.
Although it's not peak tourist season, there are still quite a few tourists climbing Longhu Mountain this time of year.
Below the clouds, at the summit of Longhu Mountain's main peak.
In summer, looking down at the beautiful view of the sea of clouds meeting the sky, one feels refreshed and invigorated.
Summer's divine sense pierced through the sea of clouds, taking in the tourists coming and going on the mountain.
The myriad aspects of human life reveal our true selves through observing them.
Summer couldn't help but feel something, and the "Humanity Law" slowly began to circulate around him.
In an instant, a mysterious and unpredictable aura enveloped him.
This scene secretly alarmed the Black Dragon King, even though it had lived for thousands of years and was a hegemon of the demon realm.
Yet, under that mysterious aura, I suddenly felt as insignificant as an ant!
It grew increasingly curious: what kind of heaven-defying cultivation technique had this young man mastered?!
Zhang Banxian, whose cultivation level was low, could not see anything wrong with it. He simply stood respectfully behind Xia Tian, not daring to go forward and disturb him.
At this moment, Xia Tian is in a state of profound enlightenment.
The cultivation method he practiced originated from the mortal realm chapter of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation" – the Human Realm Method.
This cultivation technique is said to be the strongest technique in the Six Realms.
Although the "humanitarian law" is only one of them, it should not be underestimated.
The core of the "Human Way" lies in "refining the heart in the mortal world and transforming the world into the Tao".
Xia Tian's cultivation had reached the Abstinence Realm. As his cultivation level improved day by day, he had gained a profound understanding of "Refining the Heart in the Mortal World".
The so-called "refining the heart in the mortal world" is nothing more than experiencing all aspects of life in the bustling world, just like the seven emotions and six desires.
But Xia Tian could never comprehend the meaning of "the Tao transforms heaven and earth".
As time went by, summer's divine influence had already covered the entire Longhu Mountain.
Not only tourists coming and going in the mountains, but also birds and beasts flying in the depths of the jungle, and the deeply hidden spiritual veins of Longhu Mountain, all were exposed to his divine sense.
The saying "a single thought can connect heaven and earth" is probably just like this.
After a moment, Xia Tian withdrew his divine sense and withdrew from that profound enlightenment.
His cultivation has progressed from the early stage of the Bigu Realm to the late stage of the Bigu Realm, and he is only one step away from entering the Golden Core Realm!
In fact, based on his enlightenment just now, Xia Tian could condense a Great Dao Golden Core within his body and enter the Golden Core Realm at any time, if he so wished.
But Xia Tian did not do that. He knew that haste makes waste, and such a breakthrough would inevitably lead to an unstable foundation, affecting his future ascent to higher levels.
For Xia Tian, reaching the Golden Core realm was just one opportunity away.
"This Celestial Master is truly a genius. Using the spiritual veins as the foundation of the array and his natal sword as the array's core, he spared no effort, exhausting hundreds of years of cultivation, to seal the severely injured Black Flood Dragon King beneath the earth's veins behind the Taoist temple!"
Summer couldn't help but marvel, "But this has also led to a shortage of young talent in the Longhu Mountain lineage, resulting in a decline in skilled individuals."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Banxian couldn't help but feel saddened.
Seemingly sensing Zhang Banxian's emotions, Xia Tian turned his head and said, "You stinky Taoist, don't worry. After the seal is broken, I will have a way to restore the spiritual veins here. Whether the Longhu Mountain lineage can regain its former glory will depend on your own abilities."
Zhang Banxian was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "This humble Taoist thanks Master Xia in advance. In the future, the Longhu Mountain sect will certainly follow Master Xia's lead!"
Xia Tian remained noncommittal, then said, "Let's go, it's time to break the seal on the Black Flood Dragon King."
