Chapter 1245 - 1135: Long Zixuan's Dream Entry
The deep cave, its passageway shrouded in darkness.
Within the passageway, it was filled with various Waterway Forbidden Patterns, with no one able to step over the boundary.
At the end of the passageway lay a vast hall.
The cave hall, spanning a thousand meters wide, was furnished with all sorts of ancient artifacts.
A pile of stone bricks, seemingly dismantled from some stone structures, exuded a sense of ancientness.
Some broken farming tools, like sickles and ploughshares, had already lost their vitality, appearing extremely ordinary.
…
But the most mysterious of all, was a stone slab!
The stone slab was very ancient, carved with reliefs.
These exquisite reliefs depicted the scenery of the Kunpeng, with the Kun looking as if they swam through the vast ocean, startling the Northern Darkness, and the Peng soaring through the nine heavens, carrying the azure sky on its back!
At this moment, the reliefs seemed to be activated, radiating an enigmatic ancient aura, as if forming constellations, flames of the bright cosmos, and even shadows of the Kunpeng…
In front of the reliefs, a young man was sitting cross-legged.
His build was robust, and although dressed simply, like a farmer who came from the village, his body was enveloped with the spiraling Qi of the True Dragon, with his blood sometimes transforming into the Kunpeng, sometimes evolving into the True Dragon…mysteriously unfathomable.
This man was none other than Long Zixuan!
At the moment, he slowly opened his eyes and stood up, walking toward the center of the cave hall.
In the center of the hall, there was a stone platform, on which a mottled, ancient lantern was placed.
The stone platform was densely covered with patterns, and with just his gaze, ripples of water shimmered, forming a kind of barrier.
That barrier… was personally set by the Water Emperor.
In the past, although she had stored the Lamp of Origin and various other items taken from the Forebears here, she still set up the stone platform, specially protecting the Lamp of Origin.
It was the presence of this stone platform that prevented Long Zixuan… from getting his hands on the Lamp of Origin.
“I wonder if the other brothers have lit their lanterns yet…”
Long Zixuan muttered to himself, feeling a sense of urgency. If the other lamps were already lit and only his was left untouched, then the grand scheme of “A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire” would be spoiled!
When they left the Grey Mist Sea Forbidden Ancient Path, they had already understood the plan of The End of Myriad Paths.
Substitution!
Living in that small courtyard for so long, they possessed the White Mist Origin themselves, and it was the last Fire Star illuminated by the Flame of White Mist. By igniting the Lamp of Origin, burning their own White Mist Origin,
In doing so, they could turn the Forbidden World… into a Pure Land of life.
And also, to alleviate some pressure off their master…
But unexpectedly, he couldn’t get his hands on the lantern…
“Water Emperor…”
He murmured, his heart filled with fury.
“No way, I need to find someone to beat up and vent my anger!”
He spoke and immediately returned to the front of that stone slab.
This stone slab contained a fraction of the remaining power of the Kunpeng, and once activated, it kept the Water Emperor from coming close to the cave hall. Moreover, he could use this power to sense the cultivators who practiced the Kunpeng Method within the Waterway Imperial Court.
Then, with the power of the stone slab, he could enter the Path-Scenic Lands or dreams of these cultivators.
Ever since arriving here, he would go out and beat someone up to vent his anger almost every day. Fortunately, the Waterway Imperial Court had plenty of talented individuals, and there were not a few who practiced the Kunpeng Method…
He had already killed thousands of people!
At this moment, Long Zixuan, as always, began to operate the Kunpeng Method, tuning into cultivators of the Kunpeng Method.
“Hmm?!”
Suddenly, Long Zixuan’s eyebrows raised as if he had discovered something surprising.
…
At this moment.
In the Imperial Palace of the Waterway Imperial Court.
Those who entered the Imperial Palace were the ones in the Waterway Imperial Court with the qualifications to practice the Kunpeng Method.
About three hundred Holy Sons and Daughters, along with a hundred or so elder powerhouses, totaling over four hundred people, were frantically cultivating.
Mainly, this was the Imperial Palace, imbued with the sacred Saint Emperor Qi, where cultivation progressed extremely fast.
Next to each individual, the shadows of the Kunpeng unfolded in various forms.
Only Shui Qingling and Dugu Yuqing remained unmoved.
“Even though the Waterway Imperial Court has spent countless years, the Kunpeng Method they master is so flawed and erroneous…”
Shui Qingling murmured to herself.
She had already received guidance from the Kunpeng, so now, upon comparison, she fully understood.
The Kunpeng Method of the Waterway Imperial Court… was too weak.
“Hehe, Sister Qingling, why aren’t you cultivating?”
At this time, all of a sudden, the ice mountain beauty, Saintess Shui Hengshao, came over. With every step she took, it was as though the wings of the Kunpeng followed her like a shadow.
Shui Jianghe and the others were also paying attention to Shui Qingling.
After all, she was an awakener of the Kunpeng Bloodline and, by logic, should possess the most potent cultivation talent!
Yet, Shui Qingling shook her head and said:
“I don’t understand this Kunpeng Method…”
It’s full of mistakes; cultivating it this way is completely wrong!
“You don’t understand?”
Hearing this, Shui Hengshao’s beautiful eyes widened as if she had heard some joke.
“You actually don’t understand…”
“Could it be that she has the bloodline, but her comprehension is extremely low?”
“It’s possible; after all, she’s just someone of lowly lineage from the outside!”
Many people couldn’t help but speak out.
However, at this moment, a certain mist began to diffuse from the hot spring pool.
All the cultivators who were practicing suddenly fell to the ground one by one.
“This…”
Shui Qingling looked towards Dugu Yuqing, puzzled.
Dugu Yuqing took a glance and said:
“The aura in this hot spring makes people fall asleep.”
“You mentioned before that the Kunpeng Specter appears in dreams?”
Shui Qingling nodded.
Dugu Yuqing immediately understood and smiled:
“It seems that the Water Emperor wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain… using these people as bait?”
He waved his hand:
“Let’s also take a look in the dreamscape.”
He then fell asleep as well.
But his slumber was deliberate; he could wake up from the dream at any time.
Soon, everyone present fell asleep.
Then, they all appeared in the dreamscape.
At this moment, guided by the mysterious substance in the hot spring, everyone’s dreams manifested as one.
A collective dreamscape!
Everyone who cultivated the Kunpeng Method in the Imperial Palace was pulled into the dream; they didn’t even feel the slightest difference.
In the dream, they were still beside the hot springs, still practicing the Kunpeng Method.
“The Kunpeng Method… indeed a Supreme marvel!”
An elder couldn’t help but speak up. His name was Shui Xiaoshuo, and among the older generation, he was the one with the most achievement in practicing the Kunpeng Method!
“What a pity… my age is advanced, my vigor and blood are somewhat weakened…”
While saying so, his gaze suddenly fell on Shui Qingling.
“Heh heh, Miss Qingling, since you don’t understand the Kunpeng Method, how about I help you?”
He approached Shui Qingling with ill intentions!
It wasn’t just him; at this moment, many of the other elders had gloomy expressions, staring at Shui Qingling.
Shui Qingling was an awakener of the Kunpeng Bloodline; if they could get her blood…
Their practice of the Kunpeng Method might reach a new level!
“Such valuable blood would be wasted on you!”
Shui Xiaoshuo suddenly spoke and then swiftly reached out with a claw towards Shui Qingling.
But, it was at that moment!
Suddenly, a strong disturbance came from a certain direction.
As if a True Dragon was roaring, as if a Kunpeng was soaring!
Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look and saw that, at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, there was a young man who had appeared out of nowhere!
He came with his hands behind his back, surrounded by the Qi of a True Dragon, with the figure of a Kunpeng circling around!
Seeing him, the expressions of everyone on the scene dramatically changed!
“This isn’t right… this… a Kunpeng Specter?!”
“Isn’t the Kunpeng Specter supposed to only appear in dreams? How could it…”
“Could it be that we are already in a dream? What is going on…”
In a moment, everyone panicked!
…
At the same time.
Inside the Waterway Imperial Court.
A man dressed in black war robes had appeared.
The War Emperor, Mo Zhan, with an icy expression and brimming with the intent to fight, suddenly turned his gaze towards Sky Island at the very center!
…
