The heavens and earth can be observed... why can't people?
People observe the ancient life and magical treasures, achieving their own Dao, this is known as the Acquired Dao.
It was comprehended,
Fan Wubing comprehended it!
In that instant, he saw through it all.
He completely understood what the Grand Dao is, what is innate, and what is acquired.
The so-called Dao is a way to express one's burgeoning vitality!
He couldn't help but wonder,
What does my life look like?
He once again comprehended the strand of primal vitality he gained from devouring the Immortal Queen of Longevity. This ti, there was no obstruction, and he saw through it completely.
Without hesitation, he released that strand of primal vitality.
The primal rhythm, ancient life, endless years... all poured out from him.
In front, Chengming witnessed all of this. He stared blankly at Fan Wubing, whispering in his heart, "This boy... why does he give the feeling... of living in the present, the past, and certainly the future? Such vitality, it seems like... a vast boundless world rushing towards ."
Suddenly,
Zhi!
The Hugging Carp sounded.
Imdiately, a lodious tune followed.
Hearing this tune, Chengming imdiately shed hot tears, "It's this song, it's 'The Sound of the Rain Dragon's Heavenly River'..."
He cried out with a wail, then forcefully hamred down a second ti.
A dragon image erged.
The deep and powerful sound spread from Shilong Lane.
...
The sound, as if wanting to expel all his internal organs, echoed in the deserted alley.
Lv Liang lay painfully on the ground, curled up.
On his shoulder, the Dragon and Snake Head was pushing out with force. Its cold, green vertical pupils radiated ferocity and disdain for everything.
"Why, why!"
Lv Liang's half body sank into the ground in a bizarre manner. At the sa ti, his body continued to transform.
It lengthened bit by bit, gradually no longer resembling a person with a Dragon and Snake Head, but a dragon snake with a human head.
Now, it turned out he was the parasite.
The Dragon and Snake Head let out a hoarse and low voice, "One opens the mystery, two stabilizes fate, three is stainless, four guards the body, five offers blessings, six lights incense, seven toasts, eight wastes hands, nine asks the Dao, ten speaks not, eleven is wild, twelve is joy, thirteen bows, fourteen marries, twenty-five New Year's Eve..."
Upon saying "twenty-five New Year's Eve," it turned to the suffering Lv Liang, "Twenty-five New Year's Eve... Twenty-five New Year's Eve... Twenty-five New Year's Eve... Why won't you listen?"
Lv Liang was gradually losing his body, his face pale, "I have nothing... I only have this fleeting happiness. Without this happiness, I lose everything."
"Your hatred, your pain, your despair, that is your power," said the Dragon and Snake Head, "Yet I actually feel your happiness, your joy, and your intent to protect. No, this is not what you should have. If you indulge in the mire of joy and excitent, then what use are you to ?"
It gazed into the distance, "Fortunately, the plan went smoothly. Cutting the dragon tail? Ridiculous! Replacing it is the true way!"
With that, the Dragon and Snake Head burrowed into the ground.
...
"What's the situation?" Ye Yixian asked.
Ji Wenrui said, "It is confird to be the work of a Demon Cultivator. A large demonic qi emanating 'filth concealnt,' 'body destruction,' 'decay,' and 'weakness,' which are four of the Path of All Things Decay chanisms, has covered Buxu City, forcibly altering the innate Dao Charm of everything dead in the city, creating this scene of city seas and waves. The town's fate array in Buxu City was broken, exposing the tail of the national destiny dragon. It seems like they plan to cut off the dragon tail."
Ye Yixian frowned, "The Path of All Things Decay is indeed a common path for Demon Cultivators. I didn't expect them to cultivate the chanisms of filth concealnt, body destruction, decay, and weakness!"
"Yes, only 'obliteration' is missing. However, the complete Path of All Things Decay is mastered by Jiang Sha of Slaughter Hall; this Demon Cultivator certainly cannot walk this path."
"What about the level of demonic qi cultivation?"
Ji Wenrui pondered, "It's very peculiar demonic qi. It feels very weak and very strong at the sa ti."
"Very weak, very strong?"
"Yes. It's like two strands of demonic qi. One as weak as the Seventh-Layer of Divinity Transformation, one as strong as the First-Layer Integration."
"Such a big gap?"
"Yes. However, we have already responded according to the First-Layer Integration cultivation. Estimate that in a quarter of an hour, we can disperse the demonic qi and repair the Qi Suppression Array. But..."
"But?"
"The Demon Cultivator's layout in Buxu City seemingly prepares for cutting the dragon tail. However, after searching thoroughly, we found no signs of cutting the dragon tail."
Ye Yixian gazed distantly at the lowering city waves, "Could it be... we were wrong."
"Wrong?"
"Cutting the dragon tail is a very exaggerated thing. Anyone knows that all movents of the Great Li National Destiny are watched by the Dragon Guard, not to ntion a First-Layer Integration, even if it was the Peak of Integration, they couldn't possibly cut the dragon tail, let alone..." Ye Yixian lowered his eyebrows, "with the presence of the Holy Emperor. How confident must one be to think about cutting the dragon tail? Or how foolish must one be to..."
"Crown Prince thinks... slashing the dragon tail is just for show?"
Ye Yixian pondered for a mont, "Any other findings?"
"None. We tried to trace the origin of the demonic qi, but failed."
"Did the Demon Cultivator do this just out of stupidity?" Ye Yixian linked the previous flying ship incident, "And speaking of which, the previous flying ship incident too. Hijacking a flying ship, how foolish is that! Two foolish deeds clashing... doesn't seem like foolishness."
"Perhaps these matters are just superficial. The enemy has another purpose."
"But what exactly is the purpose?" Ye Yixian mused, "Could it be the Demon Martial Hall... for the matter 300 years ago? Revenge?"
"This doesn't seem like revenge, more like desperation."
A quarter of an hour later, Buxu City completely returned to tranquility. The dragon tail of the national destiny also gradually cald down, sinking slowly into the ground under the Qi Suppression Array's 'soothing.' Within the city, under the guidance of the Fuxian Bureau, order was tendentially stable. Cleaning up corpses, treating the wounded, and other aftermath tasks were handled in an orderly manner.
Dong!
A strong and powerful sound ca from afar, rushing further away.
Hearing this sound, Ye Yixian couldn't help but shiver.
Ji Wenrui's face changed dramatically, "This... this..."
Ye Yixian asked, "Grand Commander, is there sothing strange about this sound?"
Ji Wenrui, pale-faced, looked at him, "Crown Prince is still very young and may not have heard it, but I have heard it. This is the Dragon-Soothing Sound, the Dragon-Soothing Sound!"
"Dragon-Soothing Sound! Isn't it only Venerable Chengming of Great Li who can play it?"
"Yes, the sound is indeed coming from Shilong Lane."
Ye Yixian took two steps back, almost falling to the ground. His pupils trembled, "Why, why would the Venerable play the Dragon-Soothing Sound at this ti... that's not right, Father Emperor confined him in Shilong Lane, wasn't he restricted? How could he still play it?"
Ji Wenrui was also trembling, "The Venerable is forcefully awakening the Dragon-Touching Immortal Bell, opening the path to the Imperial Dynasty."
Ye Yixian had a painful expression, "Too sudden, too sudden, I am not ready at all. What should we do, Grand Commander, what should we do?"
"Crown Prince, calm down. Not only are you unprepared, I believe the Holy Emperor isn't prepared either. Therefore." He took a deep breath.
Ye Yixian hurriedly asked, "Therefore what?"
Ji Wenrui replied faintly, "Therefore, the Holy Emperor will certainly stop Chengming from completing twelve strikes of the Dragon-Soothing Sound. The Holy Emperor is not one to hand over the key to the path of the Imperial Dynasty to outsiders. Therefore, he has been searching for ways to awaken the Dragon-Touching Immortal Bell without relying on the sound. He will not allow Chengming to act recklessly."
"Quick, quick, go take a look!"
Ye Yixian hurriedly rushed towards Shilong Lane.
