Free Web NovelChapter 534: Chapter 270: Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame, Five-Color Five Elements Altar (2)
Zheng Yi had plenty of time and gradually turned some high-ranking individuals into his puppets.
Of course, this matter couldn’t be rushed; it needed to be approached gradually.
...
On Poison Dragon Island, most matters had been sorted out, and what remained no longer required Zheng Yi’s involvement. He once again chose to seclude himself for cultivation.
This time, after several days of seclusion, Zheng Yi once again felt something was amiss.
The location was where he had previously excavated the Ancient Poison Dragon Bone.
What shocked Zheng Yi was that at the original site of the Poison Dragon’s remains, he sensed a trace of aura—a dark poison flame imbued with the dragon soul aura of the Ancient Poison Dragon, gradually evolving into a clump of Poison Dragon Flame.
This poison flame seemed to possess intelligence, constantly traversing underground.
"Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame!"
The Ancient Poison Dragon had fallen for ten thousand years, yet its life’s essence was extremely high. Its remains were trapped in an underground space, and after millennia of nurturing, the flame was full of spirituality.
Even though most of the dragon’s soul had dissipated, only a sliver of remnant soul remained, gathering the origin of ten thousand poisons, absorbing the earth’s fiery essence, and condensed into a heaven-and-earth poison flame.
Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame!
This was also considered a Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, and because it gathered the origin of ten thousand poisons from the Ancient Poison Dragon, it could be said to be the bane of all poisons, a toxic fire with the ten thousand poisons attribute.
Coincidentally, within Zheng Yi’s void-born Heaven-Cutting Vine was nurturing the Seven Treasures Skill, among which one of the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree’s primordial formations was an undeveloped innate divine technique embryo, the "Five Dragon Divine Fire Shield."
This divine technique required the cultivation of five major spirit fires. The origin of the Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame was extraordinary and rare, encompassing the dual traits of poison and fire, making it perfect as one of the spirit fires.
At this moment, Zheng Yi’s Divine Soul activated, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Divine Thought Celestial Strike Technique operated intensely, layer upon layer.
With the divine technique’s empowerment, the Divine Soul Power encircling the Celestial Demon Relic swiftly dispersed, spreading towards the depths of the endless earth like an invisible storm.
The torrent of Divine Soul Power, once integrated with the earth, along with the Celestial Demon Relic’s operation, transformed in Zheng Yi’s eyes, turning that world into an entirely different form.
Black and white, two different lines traversed through space, forming a three-dimensional dimensional space.
This was the manifestation of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Power, a means of utilizing the two primordial forces of the Yin Yang Soul-Lost Treasure Mirror, one of the clearest expressions in the divine soul.
Amidst the intertwining black and white three-dimensional space, a streak of dark green light suddenly shot through, moving rapidly, as if it never ceased exploring the black and white world.
Suddenly, the dark green glow paused, transforming directly into a small dark green dragon. Under Zheng Yi’s divine soul’s watchful gaze, with a trembling and twisting, the dark green glow once again turned into a burning flame.
Zheng Yi observed clearly; the Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame was full of spirituality, vividly manifesting the dark green small dragon, its entire scales resembling flickering flames, leaving distinct colors and trajectories in the black and white space reflected by the divine soul, with each motion.
Those pair of eyes, like black gemstones, scrutinized its surroundings warily, as if sensing some kind of unsettling scrutiny, constantly flicking its body.
"Fire born from the Poison Dragon Remnant Soul, merging with the origin of ten thousand poisons, and nurtured by the earth’s fire for millennia—this Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame is indeed extraordinary!"
Zheng Yi quietly observed, seated in his abode, his divine soul extending hundreds of meters underground, clearly discerning the changes of this Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame, yet refrained from taking action.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to act but truly couldn’t.
Prior to this, he had attempted multiple times to capture this Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame, but the result was that this poison flame was too intelligent, elusive, and quick like lightning. In the deep darkness of the earth, it roamed unhindered, facing no restrictions, markedly different from Zheng Yi’s divine soul power, which was hampered at every turn.
In this difference.
Zheng Yi was too restricted; even with the desire to act, capturing the slippery Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame in the deep underground was not an easy task.
He could only watch helplessly as this Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame repeatedly eluded his grasp.
Ultimately, Zheng Yi decided to temporarily set aside his intentions and merely observe quietly.
Catching this Ten Thousand Years Poisonous Dragon Flame would require a long-term strategy. Without Earth Attribute divine techniques, capturing it in one stroke in the depths of the earth was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Almost impossible.
...
In the Doomsday World, the sun and moon changed.
Back during the resistance against the Outer Realm Demon Country, the Five-Colored Five Elements Altar had been established. Over lengthy years, with the efforts of countless vigorous young laborers, it finally stood.
On this day, under a clear sky, Fengdu City held a grand foundational ceremony.
All the followers flocked onto the streets, donning their most ornate attire, and under the sound of ritual bells, they filed out of their homes, converging in neat streams towards the altar at the center of Fengdu City.
At that moment, from a bird’s-eye view, one could distinctly see the residents of Fengdu City pouring out like a tide, resembling tiny streams slowly converging from various streets, eventually halting at the center, forming a vast sea of people.
At this moment, around the core altar, the Soul Hall guards, all in neat and uniform attire, solemnly surrounded the area, ensuring the security of the entire ceremony.
Clang!
With a crisp and distant bell sound flowing across the plaza, the entire ceremonial site fell silent, and everyone adopted solemn expressions.
One by one, the believers showed devout expressions; participating in such a grand ceremony was both nerve-wracking and a source of immense pride for them.
This starkly contrasted with the solemn expressions of the attending officials.
In the center of the crowd, among the masses, stood towering, majestic buildings.
Arranged in five colors according to the positions of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, they formed a great circle.
At the center of the circle, there stood a pyramid-like sacrificial platform, layer upon layer, reaching straight to the heavens.
Upon the Five-Colored Five Elements Altar, along with a hazy, ethereal aura, the five-colored gases unfurled, and under everyone’s gaze, they hung in the sky, forming five colossal five-colored eyes.
Like the diadems of the sun and moon, they suspended high above, corresponding with the Five-Colored Five Elements Altar, representing the Dharma Bodies of the Five Great Ghost Emperors, belonging to the original sacrificial practices of Ancient Ghost Gods, each positioned according to the Five Elements, signifying the majesty of the Five Directions Ghost Emperor.
As the incarnations birthed deep within the Tai Mountain Dharma Realm, the Five Directions Ghost Emperors themselves represented the will of Tai Mountain City, executing the will of the Yin Celestial Monarch Zheng Yi.
It could be said that, aside from the supreme Netherworld will, they stood at the pinnacle of a pyramidal class of ghost gods, enjoying incense sacrifices, perfecting the Ghost God Dao Lineage.
The Five Directions Ghost Emperors governed the Five Great Regions and, as the current strongest forces against the Outer Realm Demon Realm, targeted any actions threatening the complete safety of Fengdu City as their primary objective.
Without the manifestation of Zheng Yi’s Yin Celestial Monarch Dharma Body, the Five Directions Ghost Emperors represented the will of Tai Mountain City.
Wherever they went, the Netherworld Dharma System descended.
Any enemy daring to provoke would be entirely and utterly obliterated.
"Homage to Heaven and Earth, homage to Ghost Gods, homage to Heavenly Dao!"
Under the Ritual Master’s series of rules and rituals, the grand ceremony commenced with full adherence to ancient customs, exuding an inexplicable mysterious aura.
All the believers were bursting with pride, hearts surging with emotion, neatly knelt down, and respectfully paid homage to Heaven and Earth.
Crack!
A sound of heaven and earth reverberating, without any premonition, thunder rumbled loudly, as if this ancient ritual and path had triggered some forbidden aura, gradually spreading to the Nine Heavens, stretching down to the Netherworld, like a chain linking the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, merging with the Incense Fire Dharma Realm.
