False Villain: Arrogant, Greedy, Bullying Men and Women, Rampant and Domineering, Putting no one in their Eyes, Failing to Eradicate the Root of Evil.
True Villain: Noble Identity, Prominent ...
Chapter 328: The descendants of the ancient sea god, the demons are the root of the trouble, what went wrong?
In the North Sea, Shi Sheng also learned of Jiang Lan's arrival.
When he showed up and knew that Jiang Lan was going to look for the last piece of Sky-Repairing Stone, he couldn't help but sigh.
After returning from visiting Jiang Lan a year ago, Shi Tian fell into a slump and then proposed to leave the North Sea and travel around the world.
Shi Sheng did not stop him, but a year had passed since Shi Tian left, and there was no news from him.
Even the Stone Saint could not deduce any clues.
The person accompanying him now is Shi Tian’s younger brother Shi Ning, who once had a conflict with Jiang Lan’s follower Yuan Kong.
But now Shi Ning has restrained his arrogance and become very introverted, calm and obedient. In front of Jiang Lan, he was very honest and bowed respectfully.
After deduction, Jiang Lan learned that there was a secret road in the North Sea. That secret road was hidden deep under the sea and was considered the site of a hidden underwater tribe.
The Nine-Shattered Sky-Reaching Stick that was used to suppress the North Sea Eye was actually a relic of this clan.
However, later on, for the sake of Yuan Kong's future fortune, Jiang Lan asked him to take away the Nine-Shattered Sky-Reaching Stick, which caused huge waves in the North Sea.
Today, that area is still ravaged by storms, accompanied by thunder and surging waves that cover everything.
Even the sea creatures dare not set foot there easily as they may easily get lost there. Even the Stone Saint cannot quell this great power of heaven and earth.
Jiang Lan brought a few women with them, tore through space with a loud bang, and came to this sea area. Shi Sheng also followed behind, wanting to take a peek at the secrets of the seabed of the North Sea.
In fact, he also had a vague feeling that there was another different time and space hidden deep in the sea.
"There is indeed a strange field of heaven and earth in this area, which is blocking the exploration of spiritual consciousness. It is very strange." Gu Luoyan said.
After all, she was a celestial being outside the realm, and her vision was far beyond that of the Stone Saint, so she saw the abnormality of this place at a glance.
Lu Chenyu and Xi Biyue were very quiet and did not say a word.
"I hope you can give me some advice, senior." Shi Sheng was very humble.
He knew the origins of Gu Luoyan and Xi Biyue. No matter who of them had lived much longer than him, and their cultivation was unparalleled in time and space, which was definitely not something a saint like him could aspire to.
Now that the world has changed drastically, Shi Sheng is also trying to enter the realm of Saint King. Unfortunately, he has not found a way to do so, and he does not have the luck and opportunity like Li Ran.
"This may very well be the Taoist temple of some existing being, where supreme array patterns have been engraved, changing the magnetic field of heaven and earth. You are just a saint, so you can naturally see it." Gu Luoyan said.
Shi Sheng felt embarrassed. No matter what, the saint was the most powerful being in Jiuzhou today, but he was not taken seriously by this person.
From this point of view, it is enough to show how powerful Jiang Lan is now.
"It seems that the land of Jiuzhou is far from as simple as we see. Many times, what we see and feel are just superficial." Gu Luoyan's expression became solemn.
“The land of Jiuzhou is the foundation of the ancient heaven, and it is also made up of fragments of the former heaven. Naturally, it cannot be simple.” Xi Biyue also restrained her previous smiling look and became very serious.
The Four Immortals Picture was born during this period. If the Four Immortals were not found, they might be missed and could not be guided to the world.
Boom!!!
Jiang Lan did not say much, he took action directly to interfere with the domain. He waved his hands and they turned light gold. The laws of the great way were condensing in the middle. The whole world was disturbed, and it seemed that even the long river of time was looming.
Raging waves were crashing, covering the sky and the sun, and bolts of lightning were striking down, as if countless ghosts and gods were howling, trying to tear apart time and space and bring about the present world here.
Gu Luoyan, Xi Biyue and the others all looked solemn and stared straight ahead.
Shi Sheng was even more trembling. In front of such great power, he actually felt as weak as an ant.
The heaven and earth seemed to have been reshaped. In this sea area, all kinds of ancient scenes appeared. One could even see that there had been an ancient and prosperous dynasty here.
Countless people of the sea tribe made a grand sound when offering sacrifices to the heaven, which was so deafening that people could not help but bow down and pray.
In the grand palace in the middle, there was a figure dressed in a blue imperial robe, wearing a crown and holding a trident. He looked very majestic. He sat there and performed a sacrifice.
"This is the Sea God Palace recorded in the North Sea..."
"The Sea God Palace believes in the Dragon God, who was once appointed by the Emperor of Heaven himself to be the true god who oversees the lakes and seas of the world."
"The Dragon God personally selects the Sea God as his messenger in the human world to wield the mighty power of the Dragon God."
Shi Sheng was shocked and recognized the identity of the blurry man based on the classics.
There is no doubt that this is the original Poseidon of the Poseidon Palace.
Only the first sea god had the power to communicate with heaven. The other generations of sea gods did not have this ability because with the collapse of the ancient heaven, the dragon god also fell.
The subsequent generations of sea gods, even if they were able to communicate, could only communicate with the Dragon God's remaining thoughts and soul in the world.
"Could it be that the descendants of the Sea God Palace have been living in the depths of this sea..."
At this moment, Shi Sheng thought of a lot of things and his heart was filled with emotions.
Jiang Lan said nothing, still using his divine power to disturb the world and reshape the previous scene.
At the same time, the entrance to that area was also being deduced. Amid the rumbling sound, endless angry waves were stirred up. It seemed as if countless thunders were falling and smashing into the deep sea.
The storm that had not subsided for many years gradually subsided.
Shi Sheng was extremely shocked.
Suddenly, he felt something and looked behind him.
An old man dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a sunken face, a high skull and two dragon horns, was leaning on a walking stick and rushing here with many of his tribesmen. His face was flushed and he was extremely excited.
"The great elder of the dragon clan?" Shi Sheng recognized the man and frowned, a little confused.
He was about to stop them from coming to disturb him, but Jiang Lan's words rang out, "Let them come over."
"Yes." The confused Shi Sheng naturally understood what was going on.
Among the people from the Dragon Clan, there was Ao Yin, who had once followed Jiang Lan. Of course, the Dragon Clan had always been a vassal clan of the Prime Minister's Mansion. They had never caused any trouble and had always been very obedient.
"Hello, sir."
The great elder of the Dragon Clan arrived and saluted Jiang Lan immediately.
Ao Yin behind him was still as bright and attractive as before, with a slim figure and extraordinary heroic spirit. He held a crystal clear jade box in his hand, which was filled with endless misty light at this moment, which was extremely stunning.
Ao Yin naturally knew that Jiang Lan had returned. Some time ago, he and Yuan Kong and other followers went to visit Jiang Lan.
"This real dragon scale of the dragon people has some unusual movements, right?"
Jiang Lan took a quick glance and immediately understood.
The great elder of the Dragon Clan said excitedly, "My lord, our Dragon Clan's ancestors left us a prophecy that when this scale emits five-colored divine light, it will be the day when our ancestors return. Now this scale is leading us here..."
Jiang Lan was well aware that the dragon god who was once conferred by the Emperor of Heaven was actually the Ancestral Dragon.
The ancestor of the dragon people, and one of the nine sons of the original dragon.
He raised his hand and the crystal jade box flew over and fell into his palm.
As Jiang Lan opened the seal, the five-colored divine light that diffused out became more intense. A dragon scale as big as an adult's palm lay quietly horizontally in it. It was hard in texture, comparable to immortal divine gold, with clear patterns on it, and there was a sense of primitive and ancient surging power.
All the members of the Dragon Clan knelt down reverently and respectfully, as if they were paying homage to their ancestors.
"Do you remember what I said to you?" Jiang Lan looked at Ao Yin.
"The young master said that I will gain the recognition of the heroic spirits of the dragon people who have drifted to other dimensions of time and space, and become the Dragon Emperor and gain the future fortune of the dragon clan." Ao Yin showed a look of reminiscence, and then said respectfully.
She always remembered these words clearly and made them her goal.
The great elder of the Dragon Clan was very shocked. Ao Yin had never told them this before.
She actually has such a great fortune?
"Your chance will come today."
Jiang Lan smiled, raised his hand, and the dragon scale flew up and hovered in the air.
The dragon patterns among them revived, rumbling like divine thunder, blazing and dazzling, as if an ancient real dragon was reappearing, majestic and majestic, looking up with its head held high.
Ao Yin was out of control, her long hair flying in disorder, and a similar dragon pattern appeared between her eyebrows. The dragon scale hummed and flew towards her eyebrows, as if it wanted to merge with her.
"Take a drop of your real blood..."
Jiang Lan casually made a slash with his hand, and Ao Yin's fingertip was immediately cut. A drop of blood, as crystal clear as a blood diamond, appeared and evolved in his palm. The blazing electricity intertwined and turned into a gorgeous little real dragon. It flew towards the sea that had just calmed down and instantly sank into it.
"open."
Jiang Lan let out a light shout, and waved his hands. With the blood of the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon as a guide, this site hidden in time and space will reappear in the light of day.
Suddenly, thunder struck, and a corner of an ancient formation was torn open. Endless and rich spiritual energy gushed out, even more abundant than the land of Kyushu today.
There are many Dragon Head Peaks located and standing among them. Looking around, there are actually tens of thousands of them, which is extremely magnificent and amazing.
Outside of that ancient formation, the waves outside the North Sea had calmed down. It looked as if it was torn apart and in different time and space.
All the creatures in this ancient continent were alarmed. Creatures flew out from many Dragon Head Peaks. They had an ancient aura and were wearing clothes that did not belong to the present world but were at least from several eras ago.
Jiang Lan looked over with a clear gaze. This was the first time he had come into contact with such descendants of the ancient era. It could be said that the tribes and powerful people who would return in the future would be similar to these descendants of the ancient era.
"So many holy medicines, and the Four Divine Medicines..."
Gu Luoyan and Xi Biyue were also shocked.
They just glanced around and found many precious magical medicines between the cliffs. Some of them were tens of millions of years old, and there were also magical medicines in the shapes of white tigers and unicorns.
It is not surprising to see this in Buzhou Duanshan, but this is within the world, which has been in a state of exhaustion and desolation, with thin spiritual energy and scarce biomass.
Holy medicines that are more than 100,000 years old are extremely rare.
"Who trespassed into our ancestral land?"
In this secluded site, many creatures have appeared. Their appearance is different from that of humans. They have characteristics of sea creatures and even their language is not intelligible.
However, with Jiang Lan's current cultivation level, he was able to see through the mental fluctuations of these creatures and understand their meanings with just one glance.
"I mean no harm, I'm here to look for someone."
Jiang Lan opened his mouth, revealing his majestic aura. Just a wisp of it was enough to suppress the trembling of all the creatures rushing out from here, almost collapsing to the ground, full of shock and horror.
"A True Lord has arrived, please come in, Great Ancestor."
This ancient formation caused a sensation and commotion. No matter what era it was, the existence of the Nirvana Realm was always the most powerful figure standing at the top of the heavens.
What's more, Jiang Lan is now essentially no different from the Realm Master.
Shi Sheng was shocked.
The members of the Dragon Clan were also extremely frightened.
The great elder thought of the records in the classics and murmured, "The ancestors of my dragon race lived with the Sea God Palace and were the patron saints of the Sea God Palace. This should be the place where the descendants of the Sea God are..."
"I didn't expect that after such a long time, I could see the descendants of the Sea God again."
Having said that, he became excited again and looked at Ao Yin who was still accepting the inheritance from the dragon scale.
Since the descendants of the sea god still exist today, it means that their ancestors are likely still alive.
A moment later, an old woman with long blue hair came to the tallest peak in the ruins, Longshou Peak, supported by other creatures. She had a weathered face, long and thin ears, and the characteristics of a sea creature. Even her pupils were light blue.
In Jiang Lan's perception, this old woman was also in the Nirvana realm and was about to enter the middle stage. She was considered a leader among the supreme level.
"grandfather……"
Behind the blue-haired old woman, a tall young man shouted excitedly at Shi Tian.
"Shi Tian..." Shi Sheng was also surprised, and then his face showed joy.
Beside Shi Tian, there was a woman who possessed the spirit of heaven and earth, and the brilliance of mountains and rivers. She had a beautiful face and was wearing a blue long skirt. There was mist around her, making her look otherworldly. When she walked, the path was surrounded by the glow of the sunset.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's her."
Nie Zhaoyi, who had been following behind Jiang Lan without saying a word, guessed the woman's identity based on his feeling and had a complicated look in his eyes.
Gu Luoyan, Xi Biyue, and Lu Chenyu also looked over. They sensed each other and knew each other's identities at the first moment.
"Are you finally here?"
The woman in the blue skirt smiled slightly, took the initiative to speak, and used the contemporary language to communicate with the women.
"This old woman has met the True Lord."
The blue-haired old woman also knew the language of the time. She bowed and saluted to Jiang Lan with a respectful tone.
After Shi Tian's initial shock, he came to his senses and saw with his own eyes how the great ancestor of the Sea God's descendants was respectful and polite to Jiang Lan. His expression became even more complicated.
"I have no ill intentions here." Jiang Lan nodded slightly.
The blue-haired old woman nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "I know that if the True Lord came with bad intentions, I would not be so polite. I, the descendants of the Sea God, have lived in seclusion in the seabed for many epochs and have not asked about the affairs of the outside world. I didn't know that a being like the True Lord had appeared in the outside world."
The formation of the Poseidon's descendants completely isolates this place, which is equivalent to being independent of a large world. Its existence is similar to that of the restricted areas outside the world.
In Jiang Lan's perception, this place is actually a ruined universe. In essence, it is no different from the universe outside the world, but it is attached to the ancient heaven.
It is like a ship anchored at the coast, unaffected by wind and waves, and always quiet and peaceful.
The vast world outside the realm is in the midst of storms, and is often impacted by various chaotic tides and avenue storms.
Soon, the blue-haired old woman invited everyone in. The corner of the formation that Jiang Lan had just torn also healed itself, completely isolating it from the outside world. It was hazy and filled with various fragments of the Dao.
Shi Tian came to Shi Sheng and explained how he got into this place by mistake.
He left the North Sea and traveled around. One day, he suddenly heard a very strange voice. The voice led him back to the North Sea. On the coast, he vaguely saw the hazy back of a woman.
The figure was blurry and unclear. He seemed to have seen it before, but couldn't remember who it was.
So Shi Tian chased after it desperately, but he got further and further away, and finally he accidentally entered a sea area filled with a chaotic field. All his magic power was restrained and he almost suffocated to death.
At the critical moment, a blurry light appeared in front of his eyes. He grabbed it, and then ended up here inexplicably.
On a cliff, a woman in a fluttering blue dress sat cross-legged, playing the guzheng. The sound was lingering, weeping, and touching, making people want to cry...
He couldn't help but walk over, and then he met Ji Xiuhua.
The woman in the blue skirt is named Ji Xiuhua, and she is the adopted daughter of the ancestor of the Poseidon's descendants.
Many years ago, the great ancestor of the Poseidon's descendants received a warning from his ancestors, woke up from his seclusion, and came to the border between this site and the outside world. In the turbulence of time and space, he picked up a baby girl in a cradle.
The baby girl was born with the knowledge and called herself Ji, the Ji of era. Her face was so beautiful and flawless that even flowers closed their eyes in shame.
Therefore, the great ancestor of the descendants of the sea god named her Ji Xiuhua.
Ji Xiuhua became a saint when she was less than a hundred years old. Her current strength is far beyond that of the Stone Saint and is approaching the realm of the Great Saint.
"You don't need to explain your purpose. I have been waiting for you all these years."
Ji Xiuhua looked very young, but her speech was mature and steady. She followed Gu Luoyan and the other girls and started talking to them.
Because she was transformed from the Sky-Repairing Stone, she had already awakened her innate wisdom and knew the cause and effect and origins of her past life before she turned into a human form.
After being adopted by the great ancestor of the Sea God's descendants, she devoted herself to cultivation and pursuit of the great way.
She was surprised by Shi Tian's unexpected visit, but in her heart, Shi Tian was just her former brother and not a destined lover.
She shoulders a greater destiny and will not be obsessed with these love affairs.
During the time she spent among the descendants of the Sea God, she had been waiting for the other four immortals to come.
Shi Tian was also embarrassed about this, but more of it was disappointment. Whether it was Ji Xiuhua in front of him or Nie Zhaoyi before, they were not destined to be with him.
Nie Zhaoyi's emotional tribulation has been resolved. After his great enlightenment, his cultivation has been further improved, and he has a better understanding of himself, so naturally he will no longer be obsessed with these things.
Now, if we talk about favorability, she actually likes Jiang Lan more than Shi Tian.
She also reflected internally and felt that her initial affection for Shi Tian might have just been due to obsession.
When you see the person you have always missed again, you may find that he or she is just like that and then let it go.
In the most magnificent Dragon Head Peak, the blue-haired old woman hosted a banquet for everyone and asked about the current situation in the outside world.
Although Shi Tian came from the outside world, she didn't like him very much. At the beginning, she even asked the tribe to drive him out. If it weren't for Ji Xiuhua's obstruction, Shi Tian would have been driven out now...
So she didn't learn about the situation outside through Shi Tian.
At the banquet, the descendants of the Sea God brought out various treasured divine wines. Jiang Lan was invited to sit in the center, and there were several beautiful girls from the Sea God’s descendants who poured the wine personally.
The blue-haired old woman was very polite and respectful, and showed the highest etiquette. In her opinion, it was a fantasy that Jiang Lan, who was so young, had such incredible achievements.
Even Ji Xiuhua, who had wisdom from her previous life, was surprised and shocked.
Because Shi Tian knew Jiang Lan, he was also invited to the table, but he could only sit at the back, sharing the table with Shi Sheng. Even the people of the Dragon Clan sat at the honored guest seat because of their ancestors' relationship with the descendants of the Sea God.
Shi Sheng was a gentle person and didn't care about it, but Shi Tian was devastated. This scene seemed familiar.
Every time Jiang Lan appeared, he would look dull and no one would pay attention to him.
Even Ji Xiuhua took it very seriously. She listened carefully to every word Jiang Lan said, for fear of missing it.
"The ancient heaven is about to be reorganized. This is already the ninth era. It seems that the prophecy left by our ancestors is about to come true." The blue-haired old woman's expression became solemn after learning about the situation in the outside world.
The descendants of Poseidon can be said to be the people who remained from the Poseidon Palace and experienced the first great catastrophe of the heavens.
Until now, there are still many records and classics left among the descendants of the Sea God.
After the banquet, the blue-haired old woman ordered all the tribesmen to fetch the historical books and several stone carvings that recorded the great catastrophe. Although they were incomplete, one could still vaguely see some details and cruelty of the war.
"All the heavens have been broken. This is too tragic."
Shi Sheng couldn't help but exclaim.
"No one knows the reason for the first war in the heavens. The ancestors of our clan are the messengers of the Dragon God in the human world. Sometimes the Dragon God is ordered to bring rain and bless the sea and the lake, which will be exercised by our ancestors..."
“Of the four dragon gods that are circulated in the world, there is actually only one. The phantom of the dragon god that we sometimes see is nothing more than the incarnation of our ancestors.” The blue-haired old woman narrated this historical fact.
The Four Dragon Gods were appointed by the Emperor of Heaven himself and represent a kind of divine power.
The Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the Ji River are the four rivers. The four rivers are the sources that flow into the sea, and are actually the collective category of all rivers, lakes, and marshes in the heavens.
“The emperor offers sacrifices to the famous mountains and rivers throughout the world. The Five Mountains are regarded as the Three Dukes, and the Four Rivers are regarded as the princes…” Nie Zhaoyi also thought of the classics he had read in Nie Erguo.
The various rumors circulating in the human world are actually all well-examined and not without reason.
"My clan has no idea what the catastrophe of the heavens is like, but we only know that one night, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder at the altar, endless thunder struck, blood rain fell from the sky, blood clouds rolled, and my clan's ancestors cried and coughed up blood, shouting that the Dragon God was dead, and then they lost all their divine power..."
“Our clan has completely lost the protection of the Dragon God, and can no longer use any magical powers.” The blue-haired old woman sighed, took out a book, and rubbed it with her skinny hands.
How did they know how the Dragon God died? That was a god that the Emperor of Heaven had once appointed, and then the ancient heaven collapsed.
Jiang Lan said nothing, but was also flipping through these books, verifying what he knew.
The descendants of the Sea God are indeed one of the oldest clans, dating back to the time of the great catastrophe of the heavens.
The various books and records left by this clan can also be used to restore the original truth.
Why did the lofty ancient heaven collapse, why did the immortals and gods disappear, and why did the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of the Free Heaven also die?
"In the later period, my clan also searched and explored, wanting to know the truth of the past. My clan's ancestors said that the heavens were actually broken by the demons of Zizai Tian."
"Before Zizai Tian was born, there were no demons in the world. There was a period of time in the ancient heaven where immortals and gods often died. You have to know that it was the ancient heaven ruled by the Emperor of Heaven. Who would dare to attack immortals and gods?"
"Only demons can do this. Demons are born silently in the heart, full of malice, invading the realm of immortals and gods, occupying their bodies, and giving birth to the demon race."
"The great calamity of the heavens must be the battle between immortals and demons. It was broken by the battle between Zizai Tian and the Ancient Heaven Realm..."
The blue-haired old woman's emotions suddenly fluctuated violently. She was very angry, and her eyes were full of hatred when she mentioned the "devil".
Shi Sheng, Nie Zhaoyi, Ao Yin and other people from the Dragon Clan were all slightly shocked when they heard this. It was true that demonic disasters would erupt in the land of Kyushu every once in a while.
Until now, the Demon Abyss is still sealed, and is patrolled by masters from the Immortal Sect sent by the Immortal Alliance and masters from the imperial court sent by the Great Xia Dynasty.
Jiang Lan also went to the Demon Abyss with Li Ran, where they strengthened the seal and prevented the Demon Abyss from erupting.
In the history of Kyushu, there have been many disasters caused by the outbreak of demonic disasters. The Three Saints of Feixian Island and the ancient emperor also cast the Demon-Suppressing Well to seal the great demon Guqi. There have been countless demonic disasters of varying sizes.
"If it is really caused by the demons, will the demonic disaster break out again in the near future?" Shi Sheng was a little worried.
"As long as the demons are not destroyed, the heavens will not be at peace. Every time the ancient heavens are reorganized, they will be invaded and blocked by the demons."
"The demons are trying to stop the Emperor from returning." The blue-haired old woman said in a cold tone.
Gu Luoyan and Xi Biyue looked at each other after hearing this and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
This seems to be different from the truth they know.
The heavens are preventing the reorganization of the ancient heavenly realm because the Emperor of Heaven is about to return and wants to destroy all living beings.
What the blue-haired old woman and others knew was that it was the demons who were preventing all this, and that they had to be wiped out in order to reorganize the ancient heaven and restore its ancient prosperity.
Where exactly did the problem occur? (End of this chapter)
