Chapter 417 Dragon Lord
Inside the Xuanji Palace.
As the darkness dissipated, only a few Purple Mansion Spiritual Objects fell to the ground.
Those countless golden energies and flames—all vanished in an instant, turning into a vast expanse of white—
One after another, streams of immortal energy overflowed from nowhere, mingling with the radiance of the spiritual beings in the Purple Mansion, making the void a kaleidoscope of colors.
"As expected—I'm still better at fighting against opponents of higher levels."
"Furthermore, by using the suppression of ghosts and gods to perform soul searching—the rewards are considerable; at least in the future, one can impersonate a Jin De Purple Mansion Perfection cultivator—"
Fang Qing chuckled and withdrew his supernatural powers from Sangji. As for the spiritual items in the Purple Mansion, Sangji would keep them.
Subsequently, through the connection between the only secret deity in Kumarajiva's heart and the medium of "Pithangka, the master of the charnel ground," the power of the Path-Born Jewel descended upon him, reaching everywhere.
"By the World Honored One—"
Inside Xiulin Palace, the Great Dharma King Kumarajiva clasped his hands together, his face covered with a mask of white bone demons, and in his hands appeared a Zen staff and a string of white bone prayer beads.
"Just who are you?!"
Bai Ze's voice rang in Fang Qing's ears: "You are definitely not Xu Ming Xuan Sha Tu Bo? Which True Lord are you? No—even a True Lord cannot promote an envoy across a grotto-heaven—you, your true form has already arrived in the Xuanxu Heaven?"
Kurosawa's voice was respectful, even slightly ingratiating.
It doesn't feel like the extremely violent personality it had before; instead, it seems like it's been frightened and transformed into the dominant Bai Ze personality.
After all, what Fang Qing did was truly appalling.
"you guess----"
Fang Qing gazed at the Purple Mansion Flood Dragon wreaking havoc, a hint of mockery in his voice: "As for Bai Ze—did you tamper with my subordinates before?"
This refers to Sangji speaking up and taking the initiative to choose the Xuanji Palace!
That was clearly influenced by those in higher positions!
Although Fang Qing was unaware at the time, after possessing the body, he naturally realized that Sangji had been attacked, which is why he took the initiative to confront Li Hufang.
Otherwise, Sanji would definitely choose Sanmu, the softest of the big masters, as his first choice!
Bai Ze fell silent.
A moment later, a gentle and soothing voice came: "Uncle Tu, please calm down—that Sanmu Zhenren is also from my Taixu lineage. I have other plans, so I slightly influenced that mid-stage Zifu sect cultist—causing him to give up on his own."
"The Taixu lineage?"
Fang Qing seemed to be deep in thought.
The sect of Master Sanmu appears to be just the Zifu sect, but its origins are probably quite profound.
Or rather, most of the Zifu sects that can spread within the scope of the Eastern Taiyi Xuanmen are related to the Taiyi Ancestor.
Even the previous Canghai Sect might have been like that—
"After all, my Taixu lineage is skilled in the Dao of Water and Wood. The inheritance of the Scattered Wood technique is incomplete, but there happens to be a copy of the 'Four Harmonies Green Willow Manual' in this cave heaven. It can be passed on to him, which can be considered a fortuitous opportunity."
Bai Ze sighed: "In any case, Bai Ze is deeply grateful for your kindness—the agreement I made to Tu Bo before can now be fulfilled—"
With a thought, He transmitted a magic formula, which, though only a thousand words long, was full of profound wisdom.
[The method of seeking gold in the Jishui River?]
Fang Qing remained expressionless and accepted everything without question, though he was secretly delighted.
Such methods of seeking wealth, tailored specifically for others, have only some reference value and are not of great value.
However, once one reaches the level of a deity, this can serve as a foundation to modify one's own method of seeking gold, saving a considerable amount of time.
Since I've accepted the bribe, I still have to do the job.
Fang Qing manipulated the body of Kumarajiva and appeared gracefully before the Dragon King's shocked gaze.
[Female Earth] Radiance converges, countless bats flap their wings, dispersing the frost-relief rain in the palace.
He was extremely familiar with the [Bi Yue] lineage.
They even possessed four [Bi Yue] supernatural powers and Purple Mansion scriptures in their own family.
Disassembling it at this point is equally easy and enjoyable.
If it weren't for the fact that Kumarajiva's entire foundation lies in [Earthly Female]—I could even perform a perfect [Water Chariot] technique on the spot, killing the Great Master [Bi Yue]—
Since subduing the Canghai Sect, Fang Qing's greatest gain has been the perfected [Zhenshui] Four Methods technique.
Although the final "Leaping Dragon Gate" is somewhat lacking compared to "Soaring to the Heavens," it is still sufficient for defeating "Bi Yue."
Even if he lost the Buddhist treasure and a supernatural power, he would still have a good chance of winning against this dragon king if he were only the Great Master of the Three Dharmas [Zhenshui].
Because the [Zhen Water] element overcomes the [Bi Moon] element!
The white bone staff was gently held horizontally.
The Dragon King immediately felt an immense force surging towards him, and his three-pointed, double-edged sword wailed as it broke in half.
puff!
It roared and was about to reveal its hundred-foot-long dragon form, but was suppressed by a darkness.
Splash!
On the Bright Armor, beams of divine light appeared one after another, then dimmed completely, as if being devoured by countless ghosts and gods.
One scale after another peeled off, stained with dragon blood.
For a Dragon King in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, this was no less than a cruel torture of being torn to pieces.
"You are not—Bai Ze!"
The Dragon King's pupils turned deep blue, with vertical slits, as he watched the figure strolling towards him.
Upon seeing the white bone mask on the other person's face, a look of confusion immediately appeared on his face.
"The Dragon Palace—Dragon Lord—what is your title?"
Fang Qing strolled up to the Dragon King, but did not attack him directly, thus sending the demon on its way.
This demon is a direct descendant of the Golden Core cultivator, unlike Li Hu who has no powerful backing, and knows many secrets.
Furthermore—he should genuinely possess the techniques of the Golden Core stage.
He's thinking about how to defuse the bomb right now.
If it cannot be dismantled, then it will have to be detonated prematurely.
"My master resides in [Shenshui], and is known as the Heavenly Dawn Spirit Abyss Dragon Lord." —
Although the Dragon King was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, his voice remained calm: "Is there a great person who does not wish for the Xuanxu Heaven to fall? This is the Northern and Southern Golden Elixir..."
There's also the matter discussed with the Dragon Lord—even if you kill me, there will be a "Dragon Envoy" afterward—”
"Yes, that's true."
Fang Qing nodded to himself.
The Golden Core True Monarchs outside did not make a move, simply out of consideration for the reputation of being from the same lineage as the Taiyi Ancestor.
For this reason, they could not send any of their celestial servants or envoys inside.
After all, immortals are extensions of the will of a Golden Core True Monarch, and there is not much difference between them and the Golden Core True Monarch himself.
Even the methods of achieving the Golden Elixir are like this; the iconic Golden Elixir methods of the North and South will not appear.
At this point, the Dragon Lord of Tianxi Lingyuan in the Dragon Palace had quite a bit of room to maneuver.
He is not under the command of the Eastern Taiyi Xuanmen, so his stance is flexible. If pushed too far, he could even personally take action and destroy Xuanxutian, but it would just make things difficult for everyone.
Little did they know that Fang Qing had already obtained what he wanted.
If you act now, you'll be happy if you succeed, and you won't be sad if you fail.
In essence, this was also a deal between me and Bai Ze, the attendant god—I even wanted to use it to find out the true strength of the two Water Virtue True Lords—
Fang Qing smiled and said, "So you are under the command of Tianxi Lingyuan Dragon Lord. May I ask what position this Dragon Lord holds in the [Shenshui]?"
The Dragon King trembled and fell silent.
"Not going to tell?"
He chuckled and activated his "Rebirth Soil" supernatural power, instantly pulling out the true spirit of the late-stage Purple Mansion dragon and sending it into a cycle of reincarnation.
Although that cycle of rebirth is merely a fabrication created by supernatural powers, equivalent to an illusion, it is exceptionally powerful.
In the outside world, a moment passes, but within, countless reincarnations have already occurred.
All memories and imprints were erased, revealing the most authentic secrets to Fang Qing.
Sure enough, whether it's the Purple Mansion or the True Lord, starting with Soul Search is more convenient and faster than anything else.
Fang Qing thought to himself, secretly having already learned quite a few secrets about the Flood Dragon Palace.
Oh, that Tianxi Lingyuan Dragon Lord "proved the Dao [Shenshui] and is in Shun" — clearly, he is also quite ambitious.
To achieve the Water Virtue of the Year, according to the current Water Virtue situation, it is necessary to confirm the four major metal positions: "Zhen Water as the master, Bi Water as the follower, Shen Water as the compliant, and Ji Water as the deficient."
The order of proof can be changed, but the position cannot be changed, unless the Water element is in its proper position and then the order is changed!
Therefore, the "Tianxi Lingyuan Dragon Lord" who is in the "Shenshui" order is also on the "Zhi Sui" path.
Hmm—it seems this Dragon Lord is still in the early Golden Core stage and hasn't yet reached the second Golden Rank—this attack on Xuanxu Heaven is also to plunder the Daoist scriptures of [Jishui], placing his hopes for the mid-Golden Core stage on [Jishui]—what is this? This is a Daoist enemy.
Fang Qing's expression immediately turned cold. He believed that the struggle for supremacy was the greatest in the world, and there was no room for retreat or escape.
Just as his divine sense was constantly sweeping across, trying to observe the deepest secrets of the Dragon King's true spirit, such as the Golden Core technique.
Boom!
A certain Daoist True Monarch's backup plan has been triggered!
That was a scene from the Dragon King's memory.
Led by the Yinglong Envoy, it entered the depths of the Jiao Palace and respectfully bowed to a seabed rift.
Within that rift valley, a massive, dark shadow loomed—
It transformed into human form, yet remained incredibly tall and imposing. Endless water vapor swirled and circulated across its body, which was slightly bent downwards. Its face was indistinct, but its eyes, like the sun and moon, were fixed on the Dragon King.
Then————
A single, strange drop of water fell into the Dragon King's memory!
Do not!
That wasn't a water droplet, but—
laugh!
A sword light appeared, initially resembling a line of water, extremely clear and elegant, yet carrying a terrifying aura.
Even the Black Swamp, hidden deep within the Profound Void Heaven, couldn't help but shrink back.
Swish!
At first, the waterline was a pure white line, but later it resembled a mighty river, carrying the sound of a dragon's roar, rolling over the body of "Kumarakara".
The countless mounds of earth exploded instantly, and the darkness was also cleaved open by a line of water, followed by white bone prayer beads and white bone masks—
Sword energy!
Fang Qing, far away in the Qi Refining Path, was startled: "Sword Qi at the Golden Core True Monarch level? I didn't expect that Dragon Lord to actually be a Sword Dao True Monarch—"
This sword strike not only shattered Kumarajiva, but also broke through Xiulin Palace.
The entire Xuanxu Heaven trembled violently, as if leaving a scar that would never heal.
"Indeed, this is a Golden Core technique!"
Deep within the Xuanxu Heaven, Heize exerted all his strength to finally stabilize it, a hint of lingering fear appearing on his face: "If that sword energy had landed on me, I wouldn't have escaped either—"
The Golden Core True Lord is a True Immortal!
Even the lowest-ranking ghost immortals are not the same concept as immortals or attendant gods.
Since that sword energy could kill Xu Ming Xuan Sha Tu Bo, it can definitely kill Bai Ze Shi Shen!
However, before the aftershocks of that sword energy could dissipate, Sangji suddenly clasped his hands together and transformed back into "Xu Ming Xuan Sha Tu Bo". He took a step and arrived at the depths of the cave, where he saw Bai Ze, which resembled a black Qilin.
"You—you—"
Kurosawa looked as if he had seen a ghost: "That was a True Monarch's sword aura—Sir, are you alright?"
"The Dragon Lord's sword energy is indeed sharp—but it slew Kumarajiva. What does that have to do with me, 'Xu Ming Xuan Sha Tu Bo'?"
Fang Qing said calmly, "There are still two places left. Let's deal with them as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Bai Ze lowered his head, seemingly having submitted.
