Everyone present, including Fenghua Sword Chen Yuji, scoffed at Xu Xianxian's words.

The legacy of myths and legends is merely stories that the ancients gave personification to things like the heavens, earth, mountains, rivers, etc. as they explored the world.

Even if some of these stories may be true, they are definitely not as exaggerated as portrayed in myths.

If the ancient dragon corpse buried in Dilongxuan Mountain really existed, it would have been dug out long ago. It would not be a good time to try your luck now.

However, on the surface, no one showed this mentality.

After all, the other party is suspected to be a grandmaster in the realm of Martial Saint.

Liu Shiyu himself didn't really believe in those legends, but at this moment, he suddenly became interested. "In that case, I wonder if Master Xu is going to Dilongxuan Mountain?"

Dilong Xuanshan is the headquarters of the Diyin Demon Sect.

It is located on the edge of Xiliang Province, only a few hundred miles away from Loulan City. Riding a fine spirit horse, one can go back and forth in one day.

"No rush, I'll stay in Loulan City for a few more days." Xu Xianxian's eyes turned, and she smiled slightly, then continued, "It's rumored that in ancient times, the Holy King killed nineteen earth dragons and lifted the Water Cloud Cauldron to suppress the nineteen states of the world, and only then did he usher in the era of successive dynasties."

"Every generation of the imperial court, expanding its territory and ruling the country, has benefited from these dragon veins. Perhaps the abundant dragon energy contained in this dragon corpse will be of great benefit to the Fifth Prince!"

This is a great opportunity bestowed by her. If Liu Shiyu can grasp it well, he will have a place in the future path of immortality.

"Saint King Li and the Ancient Dragon are both myths and legends, with no clear historical records. The Shuiyun Ding is merely a metaphor for a sacred artifact of the state, rarely mentioned even in unofficial history, and its existence is impossible to verify." Liu Shiyu's expression shifted, and he sat upright. "Could it be that Master Xu has found some ancient traces?"

Let’s just treat the other party as a grand master.

As a great master, he would never bring up these unfounded legends without any reason. At least he would have some evidence.

The rest of the people present all had different expressions.

They didn't take it seriously at first, but when they saw Master Xu's confident tone, they became a little surprised and doubtful.

Only the two young disciples, Bai Xiaozhen and Zhao Qingqing, looked at each other, and saw some inexplicable shock in each other's eyes.

Master most likely wouldn't lie, so does this so-called ancient dragon corpse really exist?

Xu Xianxian smiled slightly and said loudly, "Most of the nineteen ancient earth dragons are real. They are clearly recorded in the classics of my Taoist lineage. For example, this earth dragon Xuanshan is actually the remains of the Xuanhuang earth dragon."

"In fact, everyone knows that after achieving the Heavenly Man Realm in martial arts, the inner energy transforms the body into an inhuman form. And when one further steps into the Martial Saint Realm, the spirit becomes inhuman, and the void influences reality, transforming into the realm of martial arts."

"Because of this, the bodies of even slightly stronger martial arts masters may transform into the places where they are buried after death. Some may form mountains, some may turn into rivers, and so on."

"The ancient dragon corpse, whose realm is even far higher than that of a Martial Saint, it is normal for its remains to transform into a mountain range. As for why the predecessors could not find it, it was because they did not have the opportunity."

After she finished speaking, everyone had different expressions. Some were half-believing and half-doubting, some were suddenly enlightened, and some did not believe it at all.

Liu Shiyu, who was standing beside him, had a serious expression on his face and asked in a low voice, "Master, may I ask when this opportunity will come?"

"According to the records in my Daoist texts, it should have happened recently." Xu Xianxian said calmly, "If you are curious, you can also go to Dilongxuan Mountain to see it."

The original purpose of this banquet was for several local masters to test Xu Xianxian's ability.

However, the atmosphere at the banquet was not tense, and no one had the opportunity or excuse to take action first.

Then his attention was attracted by the information thrown out by Xu Xianxian.

After the banquet, Xu Xianxian left with her apprentice, but the masters present did not leave yet, but instead started to communicate in low voices.

Wenzhou Mu looked at Liu Shiyu who was lost in thought and frowned. "Your Highness, although this Taoist Master Xu doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions at the moment, he must have some ulterior motive by releasing such news. I suggest you err on the side of caution and avoid getting involved in this mess."

The deputy leader of the nearby Iron Wind Sect chuckled, "Your Excellency the Governor is right. Something must be fishy when things aren't normal. This Taoist Master Xu probably has some old grudges against the White Lotus Cult and the Earthly Yin Demon Sect. He's directly provoking them and spreading this kind of news. I'm afraid he's trying to use us as pawns!"

"I think so too. This Daoist Master Xu is no pushover." Another Heavenly Man Realm Grandmaster also spoke up. "But he's very young, and the aura he exudes is vague. Is he truly a Grandmaster?"

If a great master, a being like Mount Tai and the North Star, were to be in the presence of these masters in the Heavenly Realm, there would be no need for him to conceal his aura of dominance.

Chen Yuji had been silent until he slowly spoke, "Although the opponent concealed his presence, my intuition sensed a strong danger. I was initially drawn to his aura and wanted to manifest a strange form to test him, but the Fenghua Sword in my arms transmitted sword intent that prevented me from doing so."

"Even if the other party is not a Grandmaster, he is not far off."

Everyone looked at each other in silence at Chen Yuji's remarks.

"oh?"

Liu Shiyu then leaned forward, looking very interested. "If that's the case, then what the other party said might be mostly true?"

Wenzhou Mu sighed, "Your Highness, Fifth Prince, even if what they say is true, sects like the Diyin Demon Sect and the White Lotus Sect are not to be trifled with. A single move could affect the entire system. Given our sensitive identities, we can't possibly challenge them at their main mountain gate."

"If things go wrong, it will trigger a war between the imperial court, the righteous path, and the demonic path. The Wolf Court in the northern grasslands will rise up, and most of the imperial court's troops will be used to prevent their invasion from the south. We must not provoke civil unrest at this time!"

As the governor of Xiliang Province, he was very clear about the current situation of Qin Wu State, which was facing internal and external troubles.

The main reason is that Taoism is declining and demons are rising.

The Qinwu Kingdom has suppressed the demonic sects for so many years. Several times, it has joined forces with major righteous sects to cooperate with the army to encircle and suppress them, but these demonic sects have only disappeared within a few decades, and it has been impossible to completely wipe out their sects.

When the imperial court weakened and the great masters of the righteous path took over, these evil sects spread and grew like weeds and grew stronger again.

More than eighty years ago, there were only two demonic sects that possessed grandmasters. At that time, the righteous path was flourishing, and the demonic sects were like rats crossing the street. The imperial court was powerful and suppressed the surrounding countries.

But now the earth is filled with murderous intent, and dragons and snakes are rising from the land.

Not only is the situation on the border critical, but many demonic sects are also rampant and ready to take action.
