"Is that all?"
"But this era is different from yours. Beneath this light, a lot of scum is secretly drawing sustenance."
"So of the Dragon Slayers of the past may have already beco Evil Dragons themselves."
Zhou Yuanjue shook his head. The Haisa Island incident and the Kunlun Immortal Palace incident both proved that a force was lurking within Donghua—and a high-ranking one at that.
Celestial Demons couldn't infiltrate this land protected by the Chief Commissioner, but the demons in people's hearts were impossible to defend against.
"But many people have also remained true to their original purpose, haven't they? Those who beca Evil Dragons are our greatest enemies. One day, we will destroy them again, along with all the other demons and ghouls, and wipe them from this world."
The Chief Commissioner said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuanjue nodded. 'One Yin, one Yang; such is the Dao. This world has never lacked darkness, but neither has it lacked those who steadfastly guard the light.'
Through their brief contact, he had also learned about the Chief Commissioner's background.
The man had been born with extraordinary gifts. He possessed a powerful spiritual Talent and, from a young age, had abilities like Telepathy, Synesthesia, and Empathy, allowing him to see many things others could not.
It was perhaps this very Talent that allowed him to bear the National Fortune and possess the profound, mysterious abilities he now had.
Otherwise, any other Saint Awakening—even if they endured the imnse suffering of having their five senses sealed—would likely not have been qualified to bear such a vast power.
"Since I'm here, I'd like to see it for myself. What's so special about the power you gained after paying such an enormous price?"
Zhou Yuanjue stood up, his expression calm as he spoke.
"Haha. Since this is a eting between martial practitioners, this sort of thing is to be expected. Let's go outside. With power like ours, a single careless mont could demolish this entire courtyard."
The Chief Commissioner didn't refuse. This was because almost every Saint Awakening from Donghua who t him for the first ti made a similar request.
Those who had reached Saint Awakening were on a quest for their next breakthrough and possessed an intense curiosity about all forms of power. This was especially true for a figure like the Chief Commissioner, who was both godlike and demonic—an existence unprecedented in all of human history. Now that they had t, of course they wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity.
Zhou Yuanjue pushed open the door, crossed the courtyard, and walked out of the private residence, stopping in an open area just beyond it.
His movents imdiately caught the attention of the young man and woman in the courtyard.
They snapped out of their focused state and peered from the doorfra, quietly observing the situation outside.
Even though they followed the Chief Commissioner, a battle between individuals at the level of Saint Awakening was still a rare sight for them. Every chance to witness one was precious.
"How far do you think he'll last?"
The girl with the red mole between her eyebrows whispered to the boy beside her.
"I don't know. He's so young. I doubt he can even last through Shanhe Town."
The boy mused for a mont before replying softly.
"I think he can last until Master reveals his true form."
The girl said softly.
"What makes you think that?"
The boy asked, frowning.
"I see an extraordinary 'light' within him. It feels like I'm staring directly at the sun."
The girl said in a low voice.
"That's an exaggeration…"
The boy's mouth hung open. Though he was doubtful, he didn't question her words. He knew she possessed a very special Talent.
He looked at Zhou Yuanjue's ridiculously young face.
'Is he really that strong?'
"In this state, my techniques are based primarily on manipulating magnetic fields. This involves the Natural Magnetic Field, and I'm sure you're well aware of the dangers. Be careful."
The Chief Commissioner's voice suddenly echoed beside Zhou Yuanjue, the technique as phantom-like as a ghost.
"Bring it."
Zhou Yuanjue nodded slightly, his eyes downcast and his Spirit focused inward. The candle fla within his heart flickered, and a seven-colored halo, visible to the naked eye, materialized behind his head, radiating a sense of peace and serenity.
The Chief Commissioner's voice fell silent, but Zhou Yuanjue could already feel a sharp, violent shift in the surrounding Natural Magnetic Field.
Using the heavy, imnse magnetic field of the National Fortune as a foundation, the entire Natural Magnetic Field of Zixiao Mountain began to vibrate faintly. Through certain objects buried deep within the mountain, the Chief Commissioner, seated upon the central jade dais, began to gather this power, rapidly condensing it at the summit.
It felt as if so terrifying behemoth, long dormant on Zixiao Mountain, had just awakened.
...
...
"What is...?!"
In the teahouse at the entrance of the experintal base at the foot of the mountain, Ning Muqing, who had been casually chatting with the middle-aged man, was suddenly struck by a chilling sensation. The hairs all over her body stood on end, like a cat bristling at the scent of danger.
She shot to her feet, and with a light tap of her toes, she flashed out of the teahouse. She looked up toward the summit—the source of the intense danger signal she was feeling.
Birds took flight from the mountain forests. A slight breeze seed to pick up, causing the branches to rustle against each other.
As a top-tier Martial Artist, she had already gained so understanding of the secrets of the Life Magnetic Field. At this mont, she could perceive sothing more.
Within her spiritual senses, a faint yellow glimr seed to rise from Zixiao Mountain. It started from the base, coiling upwards like a serpent, wrapping itself tightly around the entire mountain. At the summit, amidst the clouds and mist, she thought she could faintly make out the massive head of a beast.
A dragon!
An ancient totem of Donghua, a Divine Beast that shouldn't exist in reality!
"It seems the visitor and the Chief Commissioner have begun their spar."
The middle-aged man's figure appeared beside Ning Muqing in an instant. It seed he too could sense the anomaly on Zixiao Mountain.
'The Chief Commissioner?! A spar?!'
'This level of power... even for a Saint Awakening, isn't this a bit too incredible?!'
Ning Muqing's mouth hung open, but no words ca out.
She had only been Zhou Yuanjue's assistant for a single day, but she felt as if much of her understanding of the world had been completely overturned.
The supposed limits of what a human being could achieve were being shattered and rewritten in her mind over and over again.
Gradually, it felt as if that limit had no floor. A new conviction began to form in her heart, inspired by these beings who perford miracles.
'Humans are capable of anything.'
...
...
It wasn't just Ning Muqing. Even Zhou Yuanjue, who was facing it directly, felt a tremor of shock at the sight before him.
A massive, illusory dragon's head, ford from the condensed magnetic field and glowing with a faint yellow light, now hovered in the sky not far in front of him. Its terrifying eyes stared down at him, exerting a horrific pressure that felt like a storm.
'He actually mobilized the magnetic field of the entire Zixiao Mountain and used the National Fortune as a foundation to manifest such a massive True Nature of the Mind!'
'This is the True Form of the True Dragon!'
'The dragon is the symbol of Donghua. The convergence of the National Fortune and the ley lines of the earth manifests as the image of a dragon!'
'The Chief Commissioner is truly a pillar of the nation.'
"Everything within a ten-kiloter radius of Zixiao Mountain is mine to command!"
The massive dragon head spoke in a human tongue, its voice imnse. It suddenly opened its great maw, and a ripple, visible to the naked eye, spread outwards.
It was a shockwave, ford as the imnse magnetic fluctuations distorted the very air!
A DRAGON'S ROAR!!
This imnse magnetic field was like a bomb, capable of shattering the will of any living thing and plunging them into a state of stunned paralysis.
"Damn it! What's with Master this ti? He skipped Shanhe Town?! He went straight to manifesting the True Dragon Form?"
A look of shock appeared on the boy's face.
"Are you still spouting nonsense?! The Dragon's Roar is out! Hurry up and lie down!"
The girl's expression also grew grim. She imdiately dropped and lay ramrod-straight on the ground.
