Chapter 1710: Chapter 1318: Where the Divine Dragon Dwells! Outer World Expert!
Zhang Sanfeng said solemnly, "Among the Four Spirits, the Eastern Azure Dragon is the leader, with the strongest power. When Shakyamuni annihilated the Phoenix back then, he did so with the help of twenty thousand elite soldiers from the Qin State. Perhaps even Qin Shi Huang secretly intervened. Now he dares to target the Azure Dragon, which is stronger than the Phoenix. Clearly, this so-called Seven God Weapons Plan has a strong feasibility!"
After speaking, everyone continued to browse the feasibility recorded in the plan.
It was found that when Shakyamuni designed the Seven God Weapons Plan, he had obviously deliberated for a long time and modified the plan many times halfway through.
For example, the initially chosen candidates for the Seven Divine Weapons were people from a long time ago like Ling Donglai, Liusheng Wuji, Nie Ying, Three Extremes Elder, Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, and others... The chosen divine weapons were, respectively, the Unrivaled Sword, Snow Blade, Sword of Defeat, and other divine weapons.
Up to recent times, the candidates have frequently changed to Wu Ming, Jiang Dali, Yin Zhong, Sword Saint, Zhu Wushi, First Evil Emperor, and others. The divine weapons have also changed to the Great Strength Fire Qilin Saber, Unrivaled Sword, Hero Sword, Netherworld Treasure Sword, Heavenly Punishment, Heavenly Fury Sword, and so on.
"If you only look at the plan designed by Shakyamuni and the array design that combines the divine weapons, if this so-called Seven Gods Combination array can truly gather the power of seven people onto Shakyamuni, then this Seven Divine Weapons Dragon Slayer Plan is indeed feasible..."
Zhang Sanfeng gasped in amazement and fear and shook his head.
Yin Zhong was also shocked and astonished, his mind spinning madly as he pondered the feasibility, and said gravely, "Our Tong Family has proudly guarded the glory of the Divine Dragon for generations. Although no one has truly seen the Divine Dragon since my time began, we are very aware of its power.
As the leader of the Four Spirits, the Azure Dragon is a kind of Divine Dragon. Its power may not be as formidable as the ancient Ying Long, but it should be very strong. It might... have surpassed the Returning to Truth Realm, but it’s only a possibility.
If the array of the Seven Gods Combination is feasible, given Shakyamuni’s power, combined with the forces of so many people on this roster, once united, the combined might of these divine weapons could indeed overwhelm the Azure Dragon!"
With this statement, everyone looked at each other, all being overwhelmed by the audacious and frightening plan. Yet, soon, there was a sense of relief.
Fortunately, Shakyamuni never implemented the Dragon Slayer plan over these long years, otherwise, if he had slain the Divine Dragon and obtained the Dragon Essence, none of the people could defeat or kill him.
Zhang Sanfeng said pityingly, "Heaven has a merciful virtue in creating life. The Four Spirits are indispensable. Since the Phoenix was slaughtered by Shakyamuni, the whereabouts of the Dragon Turtle Xuanwu are unknown, and the Fire Qilin has become violent and fallen. Now it is Master Jiang who has subdued it with great courage and fortune. If the Azure Dragon is slaughtered again, I’m afraid that with the lack of heavenly virtue, disaster will descend!"
Upon hearing this, everyone had different thoughts, but at this moment, they shared the same feeling. If the Azure Dragon were to be slaughtered again, it might give birth to another monster like Shakyamuni, which is not a good thing.
Jiang Dali himself had developed some interest in the Dragon Essence, but considering it can only be obtained after slaying the dragon, not only does it require much effort, but acquiring such power might cause him to lose more benefits and push those who were once friends to become strangers or opponents.
After all, with his own strength, he couldn’t slay a dragon, and what grows power faster than mowing grass? Nothing!
Therefore, it’s best to just gain some insight from this so-called Seven God Weapons Plan and then bury it in the heart.
"Shakyamuni is already dead. This crazy plan should die along with him! There shouldn’t be another lunatic in this vassal state wanting to slay dragons, right? Hahaha!"
Feeling a sudden sense of ease, Jiang Dali temporarily noted down the location of the Azure Dragon’s habitat. Observing the map depicted a mountainous area, he felt a familiar sense that the place might be in some deep mountains in the Han Country. Then he no longer thought deeply and let the matter slip from his mind.
...
Ying Country.
It is the moment after the sunset rainstorm, a tangerine glow pierces through the silvery-gray mist, slanting down from the western heavens, casting gleaming golden ripples across the lake, resembling millions of tiny golden snakes lightly writhing.
By the lake, a secluded grass hut stands amidst this scenery, like the dwelling of an outer world expert.
At this time, an old man, with a beard like snow and unaware of how elderly he appears, stands alone in the hut, manifesting the image of a kindly elder.
Only by observing his appearance and demeanor, he fits the people’s image of an outer world expert.
The old man, hands folded behind his back, gazed with hidden sorrow at the half-round sunset obscured by the silvery clouds, his fingers occasionally calculating behind him.
After a while, his right hand trembled, fists clenched suddenly, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed.
"One thought extinguished, another arises. When will this thousand-year-old disaster cease? When will there be an end!..."
His expertise in hexagrams and divination surpasses even All-knowing Madman and Mud Buddha.
When All-knowing Madman divined to him, he was so horrified that he did not dare to delve deeply, merely listing him as the last of the "Twelve Terrifying," indicative of his formidable skills.
He also knows that some things, if they are destined to happen, cannot be changed by him or anyone else’s interference.
Just like if the Azure Dragon is meant to die, it will not be spared because of Shakyamuni’s death nor his own prevention.
Moreover, faced with the greed of that existence, even he feels powerless.
However, the only consolation he finds is that even if that one’s greed succeeds, it will not elevate into a thousand-year-old disaster, though it leaves him deeply puzzled about who will incite it, and when.
With confusion and bewilderment swirling in his heart, he resolutely decides to re-enter the Martial World.
The moment he considers critical has arrived, likely signaling that the thousand-year-old disaster will emerge in this era.
But who exactly will spark it, whether it’s the Black Wind Village Chief with his diabolical emergence, or the mysterious Abnormal People, or another figure from the Holy Dynasty, remains to be determined.
"It is a pity that the Monk Emperor has died, or at this critical moment, I could use his Heart Mirror to deduce through the Tui Bei Secret Scroll a detailed prophecy of the thousand-year-old disaster... Now, I can only hope to find Mud Buddha and, through his past encounter with that treasure, attempt to deduce the source of the disaster..."
Contemplating inwardly, he steps out, vanishing mysteriously from the grass hut.
Before seeking Mud Buddha, he plans to quietly observe the two unfilial sons he left in the world. If the time is ripe, he might take action, committing a righteous act to rid the Martial World of harm.
Yet even with his near Half-step Breaking Realm power, he is not absolutely confident he can find and deal with those two unfilial sons successfully...
After all, those two are on par with him, or even surpass him in terms of talent, bloodline, and martial arts. Although they still lack maturity in realm to match him, their combat power is extremely terrifying...
