Chapter 264: Chapter 19: The Black Dragon of a Hundred Thousand Years
Translator: 549690339
Above the clouds, the movements of the enormous black dragon were too noticeable, drawing a large number of disciples to watch and control their swords.
Chen Jianshu and Zi Yun stepped on their life-bound flying swords and came to Elder Bai’s side.
“Elder, what is that monster in the sky?”
Chen Jianshu’s face was serious, and he bowed with a fist.
Zi Yun, followed by hundreds of Initiation Stage law enforcement disciples, arrived at the floating island where the spiritual pond was located. Just as they were preparing to face the enemy, the giant creature in the sky had already vanished.
Elder Bai was startled, and after calming down slightly, he saw Zhao Huai, who had almost fallen to his knees due to exhaustion, and was very concerned about his safety.
He then turned to the disciples and ordered:
“With the Sect Hierarch guarding this place, there is nothing to worry about.
Everyone, return.”
“Yes.”
Zi Yun put away her purple spiritual sword, her purple skirt fluttering in the wind, and stared at Zhao Huai who was not far away. Although curious, she asked no further questions.
“Husband, are you okay?”
Yu Qinghan’s face was full of concern as she held Zhao Huai’s arm. The scene had happened just a few moments ago, and it was still fresh in her mind.
The huge black dragon that had escaped from the depths of the spiritual pond had leaped thousands of feet into the air, intending to flee the Spiritual Mountains.
But it was captured by the mirror in her husband’s hands. Then, her husband seemed to be drained, unable to stand up fully.
“I’m fine… I just feel heavy-headed, as if my spiritual power has been exhausted.”
Zhao Huai tried hard to shake his head and stay awake as much as possible.
The moment the reincarnation treasured mirror emitted a light, he felt that his magic power and spiritual power were instantly drained!
If it weren’t for his wife’s help, he would have fainted a long time ago.
He had the benefits of [Three Flowers Gathering at the Top] and ginseng fruit, so his spiritual and magical power flowed like a relentless river, making it difficult to exhaust.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
“Eat this, and you should feel much better.”
Elder Bai stepped forward, took a fragrant silver-patterned pill from his sleeve, and said with a gentle smile.
“What is this…
“This is an excellent Spiritual Restoration Pill, which can quickly restore the spiritual power of cultivators below the Rebirth Realm.”
At this time, Zhao Huai didn’t have time to be polite. He took the pill and swallowed it immediately.
He sat down on the spot to digest the pill’s effects.
In just half a stick of incense’s time, Zhao Huai felt that he had recovered considerably.
“Thank you for the pill, Elder.”
Zhao Huai bowed his fist in thanks.
Elder Bai, smiling, shook his head: “It is I who should thank you.”
Pointing to the now calm and empty silver white spiritual pool, he explained:
“If it wasn’t for you just now, that demon would have really escaped the Spiritual Mountains. Hierarch Hai Shengming is now preoccupied guarding the entrance to the abyss. He has specifically instructed me to come and thank you on his behalf.”
“I presume the object in your hand is the Ancestral Weapon, the Reincarnation
Treasured Mirror.”
‘Yes.”
Zhao Huai nodded heavily.
He subconsciously gripped the now dimmed Treasured Mirror tightly.
Although he trusted the Limitless Immortal Sect and Elder Bai’s character, it was better to be cautious.
Elder Bai noticed his reaction and smiled, saying: “Royal Crown Prince, you need not worry. This Ancestral Weapon can only display its true power in your hands, so it is no different from an ordinary mirror to anyone else.”
“Before the Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch fell, he told me some secrets of the Ancestral Weapon. Now I will pass them on to you.”
Zhao Huai glanced at Yu Qinghan, seeing her nod, and he agreed without hesitation, nodding his head lightly.
“I am willing to hear the details.”
Elder Bai said slowly: “Although Ancestor Yan Zu was a world-shattering cultivator, he did not leave any cultivation techniques or classics for his descendants, except for the Ancestral Weapon.”
Zhao Huai nodded. He knew this very well.
He didn’t understand why someone like Ancestor Yan Zu, who had dominated an era, would not pass down any Divine Skills. Had there been a mistake in the inheritance?
Elder Bai continued: “This Reincarnation Treasured Mirror is an immortal tool, and it is also Yan Zu’s life-bound magical treasure. As for its origins, we are not clear about them. We only know that Ancestor Yan Zu used it to seal the Illusory Southern Sea, suppress the demons of the netherworld, and kill all powerful demons in the world. No wonder those damned creatures went crazy and attacked the seal as soon as they saw you. They were all coming after you.”
Zhao Huai asked in confusion: “I heard there is a secret to immortality on the Ancestral Weapon. Is this true or false? If it is true, what is the real purpose of the Ancestral Weapon?”
Elder Bai chuckled at the question.
“At first, I thought there was a secret to immortality on the Ancestral Weapon, but that was until the former Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch told me its function before he fell.”
“What secret to immortality? That’s just the speculation of those ambitious people. The reason Ancestor Yan Zu was able to reopen the path to immortality and become an immortal was that he possessed an extraordinary, peerless talent.”
“The others did not.”
“As for the true purpose of the Ancestral Weapon…” Elder Bai paused for a moment, stroked his beard, and said, “Let me give you an analogy, and you’ll understand. If the Immortal World is like a lock, then the Ancestral Weapon is like a key.”
Zhao Huai was surprised: “The Ancestral Weapon can lead to other worlds?”
“Aren’t the other worlds the destination of the Ascension realm?”
Zhao Huai rested his hand on his chin, thinking.
Elder Bai replied: “Not at all. The Immortal World, the Heavenly Devil World, and the Hell World are all part of this realm. The Ascension Land is the Ascension Land, the other worlds are the other worlds; the two are not the same.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai immediately understood, clapping his hands and saying, “So, the people of the Devil Sect want to use the Ancestral Weapon to open the exits to the other worlds, which is why they desperately target me.”
“Exactly; not just the Devil Sect, actually many demons are secretly targeting the Ancestral Weapon as well.”
Elder Bai added.
Suddenly, Elder Bai paused as if he had received some serious news, and his face darkened.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Yu Qinghan noticed that something was off, and asked anxiously.
“This is bad!”
Elder Bai said solemnly: “Hierarch Hai said that after integrating with his kind self, the seal has become weaker, and the other exits of the Illusory Southern Sea have also been affected.”Yu Qinghan furrowed her brows and said, “Are there any other exits in Illusory Southern Sea?”
Elder Bai nodded his head and said, “This spiritual pond is the most important entrance; besides this, there are still three other places.”
“The netherworld land in Northern State, the Yellow Sand Bewitched Country in Western State, and the extreme cold place in Southern State.”
“How much longer can the seal hold?”
Zhao Huai asked.
“I don’t know.”
Elder Bai shook his head with a heavy expression.
Yu Qinghan pondered, “If these three entrances are breached, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Elder Bai reassured her, “Our Limitless Immortal Sect and Ling Shan Conference will handle this matter. There is no need to worry. It’s just a shame that even if we guard this seal, the other entrances should have no problems. It must have been affected by the Good Corpse; Hierarch Hai can no longer take care of the other entrances.”
He spoke to himself, then thought of the black dragon that Zhao Huai had just put into the Treasured Sword, and couldn’t help but ask:
“Has the Royal Crown Prince ever entered the reincarnation treasured mirror’s interior?”
“I have entered, but there’s nothing special in there.”
At the same time as Zhao Huai nodded, he chose not to reveal the secret of the mirror’s accelerated time flow.
Elder Bai thought for a moment, then said, “You might as well see what’s going on with that black dragon inside.” “Could there be any danger?”
Zhao Huai furrowed his brows.
Elder Bai laughed, “In the mirror world, you are the absolute ruler. The so-called immortal tool naturally nurtures Heaven and Earth, and it has the same wonders as the small world nurtured inside an immortal’s body. The rules inside are determined by the world’s master. In the past, Ancestor Yan Zu used this mirror to suppress many powerful demons and even imprisoned many demons to serve as his own subordinates. You might as well give it a try and see if you can tame this nefarious beast.”
“The Treasured Mirror actually has such a purpose.”
Zhao Huai looked surprised, for the first time knowing that this Ancestral Weapon could also be used in this way.
To raise demonic beasts?
But he had tried before and it couldn’t hold living creatures.
Could it be because he had broken through that some of the limitations of the Ancestral Weapon had been lifted?
At this time, Yu Qinghan spoke, “Husband, you may give it a try. I think that black dragon is extraordinary; its strength is above that of a Demon King. Ordinary Demon Emperors don’t have such pressure. If you can tame it, it will definitely be a great help.”
“Yes, it is indeed a good suggestion.”
Zhao Huai nodded as he spoke, “But the difficulty of trying to tame a True
Dragon is still very high.”
“Although this nefarious beast has a huge body, it is far from being a True Dragon.”
Elder Bai chuckled as he explained, “Among the Demon Race, those who have lived for more than a thousand years can be called powerful demons. Fish in rivers and lakes can cultivate into a flood dragon after spending thousands of years. If they awaken their bloodline after ten thousand years, they can be called a flood dragon. Flood dragons have to have 100,000 cultivation levels to be worthy of the title of ‘dragon,’ and True Dragons are even higher; they are a unique existence in ancient myths.”
“This dragon is pitch black, as it is a forbidden dragon. The black dragon clan has been despised by the dragon clan since ancient times, and at the same time, its temperament is extremely violent. To tame it is not just difficult but extremely difficult.”
“So, everything depends on the Royal Crown Prince’s luck.”
After listening to Elder Bai’s words, Zhao Huai didn’t hesitate any longer and directly entered the reincarnation treasured mirror.
No matter if he can tame it or not, at least he should check on the situation with the black dragon first.
According to the elder’s words, he won’t be in mortal danger, but he also can’t control this black dragon.
Taming it is undoubtedly difficult as climbing to heaven.
Accompanied by a spinning sensation, Zhao Huai felt like his entire field of view had flipped upside down.
When he opened his eyes again,
he had already arrived in a world of blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by lush greenery, trees, and mountains.
There were mountains all around, and the center was a grassland.
And he was right in the center, with the scent of grass and soil filling his nostrils.
Not far away, there was a field emitting a faint spiritual light.
Those were the panaceas that Zhao Huai had planted; he had chosen some suitable spiritual plants and planted them in the mirror space for refining pills.
For some reason, after entering,
Zhao Huai clearly felt that the space within the mirror world had expanded considerably.
Originally, it was chaotic space in the distance, with nothing there.
Now there’s not only a vast mountain range, but also a small stream flowing through the woods.
The entire small world was more vibrant.
“Roar!!!”
At that moment, a deafening roar came from a dragon.
A black body as tall as a 10,000-meter high mountain peak stood above the clouds, its purple eyes looking down upon Heaven and Earth.
In front of it, Zhao Huai was like an ant.
“Zzz!”
Slowly, from the black dragon’s mouth, purple sparks began to emerge, growing brighter and brighter!
Then it turned into a purple flame river that shot straight at Zhao Huai!
Zhao Huai’s pupils shrank in response.
The purple flame roared, engulfing the entire Heaven and Earth in the mirror world!
He had nowhere to hide.
However, the space of Heaven and Earth here shook slightly.
Space shattered like a mirror, the purple flame instantly extinguished, turning into sparks, disappearing without a trace.
Zhao Huai breathed a sigh of relief, but the black dragon swooped at him again, opening its dragon mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and danced its massive body, blocking the sky.
But no matter how it twisted, it could never get to Zhao Huai’s face. It was as if there was a wall between a man and a dragon.
“Roar!!!”
The black dragon stopped its huge body, its only choice on top of the clouds, releasing breathless roars of anger.
Seeing this, Zhao Huai didn’t need to be in a hurry. Instead, he thought for a moment and slowly said:
“Stop wasting your efforts; how about we make a deal?”
“Since you have lived for 100,000 years, you must understand human speech.”
