Chapter 1763 The Harvest, Shocking!
Chapter 1763 The Harvest, Shocking!
And the Golden Dragon Clan...
Both in terms of ability and motivation, they are a perfect match!
Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that fit together perfectly, they eventually piece together the general outline.
In addition, there is this irrefutable evidence before us—
The lost treasure of the Wanling Sect, the [Wanling Venerable Seal]
It lay heavily in his palm at that moment...
This is undoubtedly the most compelling evidence!
All clues seem to point to the Golden Dragon Clan.
Even if the Golden Flood Dragon Clan was not the sole culprit in the destruction of the Myriad Spirits Mountain Sect, they are undoubtedly deeply entangled in this situation, and the extent of their involvement is likely far beyond imagination.
otherwise.
The supreme seal before us, symbolizing the lineage and dignity of the Myriad Spirits Sect, could not possibly have appeared silently in the forbidden treasure vault of the Deep Sea Dragon Clan.
Nor can it be explained.
As Cheng Buzheng held this heavy seal, it was as if he were also holding a bloody secret that had been submerged in the long river of time.
He gently stroked the cold, animal-carved relief on the seal, his gaze becoming deep and unfathomable.
"Life is unpredictable, and cause and effect are hard to foresee."
Who could have imagined that, after countless ages, the most precious heirloom of the Myriad Spirits Path would fall into my hands, Cheng Buzheng, in such a way?
A complex emotion swept through his heart.
In particular, the seal contains a small world within it, which can nourish all living beings and has an incredible effect on the art of beast taming.
"What a pity..." he murmured to himself, a hint of regret in his voice.
"I currently have no spirit beasts to accompany me."
The only clumsy little roarer had long since ascended to the spirit realm, now living a carefree life.
"If that weren't the case, I would truly like to try it myself. Just how wondrous is the strange power within the small world attached to this seal, which is rumored to be able to enlighten spirituality and nourish beast souls?"
"What a pity..."
A soft, enigmatic sigh echoed through the empty treasure vault.
I can't tell if it's regret or disappointment.
Immediately, Cheng Buzheng turned his hand, and the treasure vanished into thin air.
After putting away the seal, Cheng Buzheng's gaze returned to the dazzling array of remaining treasures, his eyes burning even more intensely.
It felt as if a tangible flame was burning deep within his pupils.
Every item in this treasure trove exudes a captivating Daoist aura, silently narrating its extraordinary origins and value.
Without further hesitation, he made a large, sweeping gesture in mid-air!
in an instant,
A dazzling stream of light shot out from deep within the shelf with lightning speed!
Cheng Buzheng's arm extended seemingly casually, yet his movements precisely captured the trajectory of the flowing light. With a snap of his fingers, he firmly grasped something in his palm.
The next moment, he opened his palm, and an ancient bronze mirror lay quietly.
The mirror surface is as smooth as autumn water, and its light is so bright that it seems to reflect one's soul.
The back of the mirror is carved with nine dragons of different shapes, intertwined and coiled, their scales clearly visible, lifelike, exuding a vast and fierce aura.
At that very moment of contact, a familiar yet subtle fluctuation entered Cheng Buzheng's senses from the depths of the treasure mirror.
"The bloodline fluctuations of the Golden Dragon Clan?"
He frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the nine-dragon relief on the back of the precious mirror in his hand, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"Could this precious mirror be made from the blood, flesh, and essence of the Golden Dragon Clan?"
"No!" His mind raced, and his divine sense, like a thread, penetrated the subtle details of the precious mirror.
"It's not just flesh and blood; this energy is even purer and more intense... It's a dragon pearl!"
This precious mirror actually contains the life-bound dragon pearls of nine golden dragons!
"and……"
With his formidable weapon-forging skills and extraordinary senses, Cheng Buzheng carefully examined the remaining marks within the fluctuations.
"These nine golden dragons were probably all at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage when they were alive, truly top-tier existences among great demons!"
In an instant, several clear conclusions emerged in his mind.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if a lightning bolt had pierced through the fog!
A long-buried secret suddenly surfaced from the depths of my memory—
"Legend has it that three thousand years ago, there was a rogue cultivator at the Half-Saint Realm with the Daoist name 'Nine Dragons' who wielded an unnamed treasure and roamed the Endless Sea for many years, rarely encountering an opponent."
Even the most powerful and influential figures from major sects often find it difficult to withstand even a single blow from him.
Its power and influence were unparalleled at the time.
"However,
At the height of his fame, this man, along with his immensely powerful treasure, mysteriously vanished from the world without a trace.
Regarding his whereabouts, there were many speculations circulating in the cultivation world at the time:
Some say that the Nine Dragons Half-Venerable accidentally provoked the direct bloodline of a certain Nascent Soul Venerable, which prompted the Venerable to personally take action, crossing the void and destroying the body and soul of the Venerable with a single blow.
Some say that he was trapped in the realm of half-saint and could not break through, and eventually his inner demons grew, and he died in depression, passing away in some unknown secret realm.
Even more outrageous, some people confidently produce several dubious treasures, claiming they were obtained from the remains of the Nine Dragons Half-Saint, and use this as a pretext to gather people in an attempt to find the place of his inheritance...
Such rumors are rampant, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
But all the rumors point to one thing: the Nine Dragons Half-Lord has already fallen.
And what's even more coincidental is...
According to scattered ancient records, the treasure that the Nine Dragons Half-Venerable wielded was a precious mirror!
Its shape is almost identical to the ancient bronze mirror in his hand!
As for the specific power and characteristics of that precious mirror...
It remains a mystery to this day.
Because every cultivator who witnessed the Nine Dragons Half-Venerable fully activating this treasure had, without exception, become his dead.
However, there is a record mentioning that a cultivator who was fortunate enough to witness the battle from a great distance described how, when the Nine Dragons Half-Venerable made his move...
Nine colossal golden dragons appeared, their forms blotting out the sky and the sun. Their mighty power pressed down on the void, and with a single strike, the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles crumbled, turning into scorched earth.
And the great enemy of the Nine Dragons Half-Lord was naturally reduced to ashes.
Thinking of this,
A startling guess suddenly surfaced in Cheng Buzheng's mind:
"Could it be that the Nine Dragons Half-Venerable Hermit who suddenly disappeared three thousand years ago did not die from internal strife among humans or from a bottleneck in cultivation?"
Instead... it was the Golden Dragon Clan who did it?
It's even highly possible that a Nascent Soul Demon Lord from the Golden Flood Dragon Clan personally descended upon the Endless Sea to suppress and kill him with lightning?
"The root of the problem might be that he crafted this precious mirror!"
Cheng Buzheng looked at the bronze mirror in his hand, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
after all,
The Golden Dragon Clan has always been most disgusted by outsiders using the corpses of their own people to forge weapons, regarding this as a great disgrace.
Not only did the Nine Dragons Half-Saint use it,
Furthermore, it used nine powerful golden dragons at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!
Such actions are tantamount to violating this taboo and touching the sore spot of the Golden Dragon Clan.
No matter how well Kowloon Half-Governor kept secrets in the early stages, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
Eventually, word will leak out.
The value of nine golden dragons at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage was enough to alarm the core leadership of the Golden Dragon Clan.
It's only natural that this would attract the personal suppression of a Nascent Soul Demon Lord.
The more Cheng Buzheng thought about it, the more reasonable his conjecture seemed.
Immediately,
Without further hesitation, he flicked his finger, and a wisp of pure magical power shot out like a serpent, instantly disappearing into the bronze mirror.
"hold head high!
"Hoo! Hoo!"
In an instant, nine desolate and distant dragon roars reverberated from inside the treasure mirror. The sound was not loud, but it penetrated directly into the soul.
At the same time, a dazzling golden spot suddenly lit up in the center of the smooth, water-like surface of the mirror, like the rising sun.
Meanwhile, the nine dragon reliefs on the back of the mirror also revealed a flowing golden light, within which several ancient and mysterious runes flashed by.
It's so fast it's almost impossible to catch.
But Cheng Buzheng's gaze was incredibly sharp, and his divine sense incredibly keen!
"【Nine Dragons Annihilation Mirror】!"
He instantly and clearly captured the five ancient runes, which were then deeply imprinted in his mind.
"Just as I thought!" Cheng Buzheng thought to himself.
"It truly is the invincible natal magic weapon of the Nine Dragons Half-Supreme—the [Nine Dragons Annihilation Mirror]!"
"It seems that the fall of the Nine Dragons Half-Venerable was indeed the work of a powerful member of the Golden Dragon Clan."
Otherwise, such a ferocious and powerful treasure would never have appeared in the Golden Dragon Clan's secret vault.
Cheng Buzheng took a deep look at the bronze mirror in his hand, then turned it over and put it into his storage bag.
This treasure has a great karmic connection, but its power is boundless; it is a fine magic weapon.
Immediately afterwards, he made another large gesture.
Another streak of light swept in from the other side of the shelf and landed in his hand.
"Um?
Isn't this the Golden Dragon Scissors, the treasure that made the infamous Old Demon Shen famous three hundred years ago?
No wonder this person suddenly disappeared; it turns out he too fell into the hands of the Golden Dragon Clan.
"···"
"This long staff, covered entirely in golden scales, exudes a restrained aura of malevolence and possesses astonishing spiritual pressure. It is no ordinary treasure. What is its origin?"
Cheng Buzheng examined it carefully, but unfortunately, even after searching through all his memories, he still couldn't recall a single relevant clue.
"Such a precious treasure should not be unknown..."
"Huh!
Deep within the essence of this treasure, a faint trace of demonic energy lingers...
Could it be that it was originally a natal magic weapon refined by a powerful demon?
After carefully probing with his divine sense, he seemed to understand something.
"That's right. Judging from its materials and crafting techniques, it was clearly made primarily from a half-saint level golden dragon."
After its owner was killed by the Golden Dragon Clan, the treasure was taken back into the vault, which makes perfect sense.
"···"
"This golden longbow, with its body resembling a dragon's spine and its bowstring shimmering with lightning, is also an incredibly powerful treasure."
A treasure shaped like a bow is quite rare in the world of cultivation.
"And this large golden cauldron with three legs and two handles..."
What a ruthless means!
The cauldron contained the essence and scales of ninety-nine Nascent Soul stage golden dragons, their resentment soaring to the heavens…
The one who forged this cauldron likely endured unimaginable torture from the Golden Dragon Clan before his death.
"..."
Cheng Buzheng's eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned the magical artifacts on the shelves one by one at an incredible speed.
Yet he also had a keen understanding of every detail of each magical artifact.
In a short while, he had examined all the dozens of magical treasures displayed on the shelf.
Without exception, these magical treasures are at least top-grade magical treasures, and most of them are auxiliary treasures with special effects.
And most of them are just one step away from becoming supreme spiritual treasures!
Besides, these top-grade magical treasures and precious artifacts have one more striking commonality—
The materials used in its refining are more or less related to the Golden Dragon Clan.
Especially those with the greatest power, whose main ingredients are almost always the corpses, spirits, or dragon pearls of high-level golden dragons.
These magical treasures are not only spoils of war for the Golden Dragon Clan to demonstrate their military power, but also a series of shameful events.
The fact that the Golden Dragon Clan kept it on a high shelf and let it gather dust reflects this complex mentality.
But in any case, no one can deny the value of every magical artifact here.
Their value is by no means inferior to that of "top-grade rare treasures" that are rarely seen outside the world.
Even more so.
After putting away all these magical treasures, Cheng Buzheng's gaze finally fell on the bottles and jars placed in the last section of the shelf.
These containers are made of various materials, including jade bottles, stone jars, and metal boxes, all exuding an ancient aura, and their surfaces are covered with shimmering sealing talismans.
Obviously.
The Golden Dragon Clan has done a very good job of protecting them.
Otherwise, the seals on the bottles and jars would have long since lost their effectiveness due to the ravages of time.
It is not difficult to see that the Golden Dragon Clan's methods of nurturing and protecting treasures are quite extraordinary.
Followed by.
A thought naturally came to Cheng Buzheng's mind.
"What is contained in these bottles and jars..."
Could it be one of those ancient elixirs that have long been lost and can no longer be refined?
His reason for this conjecture was that many precious ancient elixirs were made from rare and precious spiritual herbs, medicines, and special treasures.
It's easy to imagine just how precious those ancient elixirs were!
Simply gathering a large number of rare first-tier spiritual herbs and medicines is a major challenge.
Most importantly, many rare and precious herbs and medicinal plants have long since disappeared due to factors such as the decrease in concentration in the cultivation world, making them unsuitable for growth, and excessive excavation.
This has rendered many supposedly miraculous elixirs useless, like chicken bones – tasteless to eat but too precious to throw away.
after all!
While the elixir formula was indeed precious, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.
In addition, many precious ancient elixir formulas have completely disappeared into the river of time.
In an instant, numerous rumors and distracting thoughts about ancient elixirs flashed through my mind.
soon.
He quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and made another gesture with his large hand.
A simple, elegant, and smooth-to-the-touch jade vase flew up from the shelf and landed steadily in his palm.
"Boom!"
With a soft click, the bottle cap was popped open by a clever force.
Cheng Buzheng tilted the bottle slightly, and a elixir the size of a longan, shimmering with a dreamlike five-colored radiance, rolled from the bottle's opening into his palm.
The moment the elixir appeared,
A faint, indescribable fragrance immediately filled the air.
Cheng Buzheng merely sniffed slightly and immediately felt his mind clear, his spirit as clear and bright as ever before!
What shocked him even more was that it was billions of miles away...
The Dharma Body, which was comprehending the "Law of Blood" in the Forbidden Sea, suddenly experienced a surge in its efficiency in comprehending the law!
Upon noticing this incredible change, Cheng Buzheng acted with lightning speed, immediately resealing the elixir back into the jade bottle to prevent its effects from being lost.
A look of shock, hard to conceal, flashed across his eyes.
"What kind of elixir is this?"
"Just a wisp of elixir energy emanating from it could have such a terrifying effect on a Nascent Soul cultivator's comprehension of the laws?!"
"..." (End of this chapter)
