Free Web NovelChapter 1538: Chapter 182: Unknown
Will the bright moon come tonight?
Will we witness the bloom this time?
Jiang Wang didn’t know the answer.
But he was willing to wait with Master Guan Yan.
If the answer they awaited was not the one they desired, then together with Master Guan Yan...
They would change that answer.
"The Dragon God fights the world’s consciousness here on one hand, engaging in a battle with me, pretending to be in a stalemate. On the other hand, it secretly connects with the Jade Balance Stars, planning to control Jade Balance before turning to erase me."
Guan Yan said, "It’s close to succeeding. The opportunity we await lies at the moment of its success."
Jiang Wang gripped the longsword. The sheath made of divine dragon wood had nurtured Longing for a long time, also being suffused with Longing’s spirituality for a long time. Now its spiritual essence was deeply hidden.
It’s hard to imagine it comes from the same origin as this huge rotten wood in front of us.
Even precious materials like divine dragon wood can undergo drastic changes due to different circumstances.
"I have confidence in you, elder," he said.
"I don’t have so much confidence." Guan Yan said softly, "But since I’ve made a choice, I’ll do everything I can."
To give one’s all and then have no regrets, to exert one’s efforts and then be without guilt.
This has always been Jiang Wang’s life philosophy.
So it’s no wonder that he and Guan Yan found a natural affinity on their first meeting.
"Elder, are you still battling it in the world’s origins?" Jiang Wang asked.
"It has never stopped."
Guan Yan casually explained the battle situation to Jiang Wang: "Just now in the world’s origins, it erased part of the world consciousness of the Forest Sea Source Realm, but at the same time, I also dispelled part of its ’Divine Origin.’"
He explained naturally to Jiang Wang: "’Divine Origin’ is its foundation for being a deity in the Forest Sea Source Realm. It’s more complex than you can understand now, but you can simply regard it as the accumulation of the power of faith."
Jiang Wang enjoyed this process of seeking knowledge and resolving doubts, just like every previous exchange on the Star Moon Plain. He had embarked on the path of cultivation, heavy-hearted and bewildered, stumbling along the way, but there were many hands pulling him forward.
"The more its ’Divine Origin’ is dispelled, the more you can control the divine position of the Forest Sea Source Realm, elder."
"That’s the way to say it. But in truth, neither of us are true practitioners of the Divine Way. We temporarily followed this path only to compete for the Forest Sea Source Realm, and we’ve only started exploring the concept of divine authority in these last few hundred years. So, I actually have many issues regarding the divine position, and it has many flaws in its understanding of the Divine Way, which is how I managed to seize the divine authority." Guan Yan added, "I cultivate the Path of the True Spirit, and it should be a legitimate Dragon Clan."
This statement surprised Jiang Wang greatly.
The first astonishment was that neither the Dragon God nor Master Guan Yan were true practitioners of the Divine Way. Moreover, Master Guan Yan evidently had great confidence in his Path of the True Spirit, relying on it as the path of his lifetime. Otherwise, he wouldn’t still emphasize it even after winning the divine authority of the Forest Sea Source Realm.
The second astonishment came from Master Guan Yan’s insight.
Although Master Guan Yan said both he and the Dragon God had only started exploring the Divine Way, the Dragon God evidently began its exploration long before Master Guan Yan. Layout plans were made centuries in advance, yet in the Divine Way, Master Guan Yan found a loophole...
Such innate talent is frightening.
Furthermore...
"Legitimate Dragon Clan?" Jiang Wang couldn’t help asking, "Present World Dragon Clan? The Dragon Clan of Cang Sea?"
"I’m not entirely clear about its background. It’s very cautious." Guan Yan shook his head, "All we can say now is that it does originate from the Dragon Clan."
Since the Middle Ancient period, Dragon Clan has vanished from the present world, driven away to Cang Sea.
Of course, Jiang Wang now knows there are still dragons in Long River. But they’re merely symbolic, lacking any real presence. The truly fearsome Dragon Clan resides in Cang Sea.
What is the origin of this dragon in the Forest Sea Source Realm?
It explored the Divine Way, became the Dragon God, and even harbors ambition, looking out toward the cosmic stars...
"The universe is truly boundless, inciting a desire for endless exploration in a young heart!" Jiang Wang sighed, "Yet unfortunately, life has its limits."
"Divine Arrival has a lifespan of five hundred years, Dongzhen a millennium... overcome the short life first, and then pursue the long journey." Guan Yan didn’t preach any grand principles, merely reminded Jiang Wang to stay grounded: "When you reach the end, you might see a further landscape."
"I am taught." Jiang Wang said earnestly.
"Honestly, I know. Though the universe is distant, you will not lose your way." Guan Yan smiled, "People tend to act as teachers when they have worries, and even I cannot escape this nature."
"Please don’t say that." Jiang Wang said sincerely, "It’s because you care for me that you’re like this... To be honest, not many people would treat me this way."
Guan Yan’s gaze was gentle: "Actually, I should thank you. Thank you for being the first person I saw after returning from five hundred years absent from the present world. You did not spoil my fond memories of my homeland—you know, people always romanticize the past in memories, and your character and spirit fulfilled all my unrealistic recalls. I started to think, my hometown was indeed full of light, with young people brimming with hope... Please continue forward. Whatever the result this time, I’m truly eager to see where you will go." freёweɓnovel.com
He spoke so sincerely, and thus made Jiang Wang a little embarrassed.
This internal mansion that ranked first in the annals of history had been praised before, hearing all sorts of compliments whispered in his ears. freewebnøvel.coɱ
But this person in front of him was different after all.
He was an elder Jiang Wang highly recognized and even revered, someone he once aspired to be but could not become.
