Chapter 903: Chapter 122: The Nine Cauldrons Reappear, Realm Breakthrough!
Departing from Ying Country, one must make a detour.
Additionally, the wars and unrest have caused delays in the postal stations and the blockade of passes.
If depending on a merchant caravan, it would take at least three to five months.
The great changes in the world are as tumultuous as waves. In three to five months, who knows what the Western Regions would become? But if they had this Red Dragon, Li Guanyi and the others might reach the Western Regions in just over half a day.
Moreover, completely unnoticed, beyond everyone’s expectations.
They could directly become a surprising force.
Stirring the situation in the world once again.
Truly envious.
It seemed that Li Guanyi’s gaze was too obvious, for the Ancient Red Dragon’s voice was resonant, saying: "Li Guanyi, you are staring at me, what scheme are you contemplating?"
Li Guanyi said: "It’s nothing much, I am merely admiring the elder’s swiftness, profound cultivation, supreme divine ability, riding the clouds and mist, able to traverse a thousand miles in an instant, truly enviable, so impressive, so impressive."
The Ancient Red Dragon said:
"Such honeyed words."
"What little scheme is brewing in your mind? Feel free to express it."
The Ancient Red Dragon seemed to be in good spirits.
Li Guanyi, thick-skinned, said: "As mentioned before, I hope the venerable Red Dragon could take us to the Western Regions this time."
The Ancient Red Dragon was initially slightly stunned, then seemed amused, bursting into loud laughter, its sound like muffled thunder, shaking the surrounding sea of clouds. The people below thought it was going to rain and began to collect their clothes, while on the dragon’s head, Li Guanyi and the Qilin were shaken to the point of headache.
The Ancient Red Dragon said: "Truly still a child."
"How could the back of a Divine Dragon be a place for ordinary people? Moreover, you have chosen the path of reversing the ’Emperor’s Divine Skill,’ and even if I help you, I owe you nothing. Why would I take you to the Western Regions?"
The Ancient Red Dragon continued with a laugh:
"Unless you can amaze me somehow."
"For instance, like the sword of your grandpa Murong Longtu. If you could achieve something similar, the old man might consider it, not impossible."
The hope that Li Guanyi had just risen vanished in an instant, and he only managed a bitter smile: "To amaze the elder, such a request is too demanding."
The Ancient Red Dragon said leisurely:
"Since you’re dreaming during daytime, it must be strict."
After these words, Li Guanyi and the Qilin gazed at the scenery in the sky, no longer speaking, and before long, they had already arrived in the Jiangnan region. The Ancient Red Dragon slowed down, saying: "We have arrived, Li Guanyi, I will impart to you a mantra and mind technique."
"It is a method to harness the great trend and Qi fortune."
"Remember it well."
Li Guanyi memorized it peacefully, suddenly feeling that this mantra seemed somewhat familiar. Thinking carefully, he recalled Mr. Siming helping Li Guanyi practice his physique using the Golden Tiger Seal of Tuyuhun, there was a similar Qi mechanism.
Li Guanyi was enlightened.
Tuyuhun had fused the royal seals of the Thirty-six Tribes, slain their leaders of that time, wasn’t this act also forging a Divine Weapon, extracting Qi fortune, gathering it within oneself, achieving dominance for an era?
It was only through the Ancient Red Dragon’s enlightenment today that he could look back and grasp more clearly the subtle traces hidden in his past experiences.
After ensuring Li Guanyi had thoroughly learned this method, the Ancient Red Dragon said:
"This method can guide the great trend with human strength, transforming into a divine ability. Apart from being a necessary preparation for practicing the Emperor’s Divine Skill, it is also a good technique, useful in certain times, have you remembered it distinctly?"
Li Guanyi nodded in agreement.
Thus, the Ancient Red Dragon said: "I will help you gather the Qi fortune of Jiangnan, but a Divine Weapon is needed to carry this Qi fortune. Then, if you leave this Divine Weapon in the Jiangnan land, reversing the way of the ’Emperor’s Divine Skill,’ you can accomplish what you desire."
Li Guanyi nodded solemnly.
The Red Dragon spiraled above Nine Heavens, uttering a low dragon roar.
A burst of precious light emerged from Li Guanyi’s body, glittering magnificently.
The divine charm of each Divine Weapon soared to the sky, highlighting the precious light surrounding this young man.
The Ancient Red Dragon shook its head: "So many Divine Weapon Armors on your body, enough to blind a person’s eyes."
"Yet why are gold and jewels so scarce?"
"Such a freak has emerged in this world."
"Even I, do not know whether you are poor or rich."
Various Divine Weapons shone one by one, including the Wooden Sword Dragon Map, the Divine Weapon Chi Xiao, the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, and the Xue Family Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow, brilliant and grand, while the Wooden Sword Dragon Map first dimmed, ceasing to emit its radiance.
The Ancient Red Dragon commented: "The Wooden Sword Dragon Map, a Divine Weapon born of Sword Madman’s life-long Sword Intent, formed by the person, originally most compatible with your path, but the Sword Intent is too pure, the killing intent too strong, in fact, it does not align with your path."
"Murong Longtu, was never one to walk the way of the Human Emperor."
"You wish to return Qi Fortune to the world, but he cleaves it open with One Sword, no, not possible."
Straightaway, the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd and the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow both glowed faintly.
The Ancient Red Dragon’s gaze focused on these two Divine Weapons, recalling a domineering man of eight centuries past, as if sensing something, slightly raised its eyes, and the Qilin sensed something too, lifting its head.
At this moment, the Red Dragon bore Li Guanyi and the Qilin, moving amidst the clouds and mist.
Amidst the clouds, the surroundings were gold and red, below the mountains and rivers rose, and raising the head, one could see the stars revolving, subtly transforming incessantly, into the brilliance of the White Tiger Seven Stars.
The Ancient Red Dragon muttered: "The fate of the stars, the destiny of the White Tiger Sect, the fate grid of the White Tiger Sect stirring chaos..."
