Chapter 547: A Gentleman's Belly, Gambling Agreement
Looking at the disciples of the Shenxiao Legion, Lord Shuyu Dragon's eyes unconsciously became serious.
If the Thick Earth Elemental Array only had the power of a Spiritual Transformation, she would certainly be amazed, but not alert.
But if this formation can repel the immortals, the meaning will be completely different.
There were three iron rules in the Xuanwei Realm, one of which was that the Dao Fruit was invincible.
But the scene before him shattered the understanding that Lord Shuyu Dragon had held for millions of years.
A group of cultivators who were not even at the stage of God Transformation, relying on a formation she had never heard of, actually blocked the attack of a wandering immortal?
But the performance of the Shenxiao Legion is far more than that.
The Emperor of Heaven took three steps back, but the Shenxiao Legion showed no sign of decline.
The sound of drums was stirring, shaking all directions, and pillars of light danced wildly, falling towards the Emperor's body like raindrops.
This group of disciples of the Shenxiao Legion not only did not fall behind, but also took the initiative!
The white light pillars in the sky formed a giant net, covering the earth.
The Emperor of Heaven was no less powerful than other immortals, but at this moment he was trapped in a net, and his huge body was unable to break free for a while.
The two techniques intersected, stirring up a fierce wind that rushed towards the Jade Dragon Lord with heat. She could almost smell the anxiety of the battle.
The Jade Dragon Lord clenched his fists slightly, unable to help but think:
This thick earth magnetic array is more powerful than she imagined.
Or even, can I only stop at being a wandering immortal?
As this thought came to her mind, she felt more and more confused, not knowing whether it was anticipation or sourness.
The battle between the Emperor of Heaven and the Shenxiao Legion lasted for nearly half an hour before it came to an end.
Zheng Fa, along with Lord Shuyu Dragon and others, descended from the mountain and looked towards the group of disciples from the Shenxiao Legion.
These disciples also seemed to be in a bad mood:
Almost everyone's face was pale, and they looked as if their spiritual energy had been drained.
There were also several disciples with golden and purple faces, obviously injured.
But no matter what their situation was, this group of disciples still stood straight and their formation remained intact.
Zheng Fa's eyes swept across the faces of his disciples before he spoke:
"You're all good."
After hearing this, the disciples' eyes trembled slightly, but no one spoke, just listened quietly.
"At the beginning, you were in a state of disarray, facing a powerful enemy and falling apart."
"Today, you have made great progress, even beyond my expectations."
Zheng Fa paused, looked at the group of disciples who were all laughing, and said with a smile:
"I will leave the safety of the Jiushan Sect to you. The elders and I can rest assured."
The disciples roared in agreement: "Shenxiao will not perish, and the Nine Mountains will be forever secure!"
Zheng Fa nodded gently: "I believe it, everyone in the Jiushan Sect believes it. Okay, recuperate well, the sect will reward you with elixirs and good deeds. If you have any injuries to your body, don't hide it."
"yes!"
The group left the mortal world and flew towards Ziweiyuan. The Jade Dragon Lord finally couldn't help asking, "Master, may I ask, did your clone use all his strength?"
Zheng Fa did not answer, but looked at the Emperor of Heaven.
The Emperor grinned and said calmly, "50% to 60%. I didn't use the Sun and Moon Bell, otherwise there would be no need to fight."
"Sun and Moon Clock?"
"The treasure of the cave heaven of the Nine Mountains Realm."
The Jade Dragon Lord understood: "That's right. The Thick Earth Divine Sky Formation borrows the power of the earth veins of the Nine Mountain Realm. If you use the treasures of the Cave Heaven, then the Nine Mountain Realm will be under your control, and the earth veins will naturally be included."
"The Dragon Lord is indeed knowledgeable and experienced. What he said is absolutely correct."
"Well-informed?" Unexpectedly, the Jade Dragon Lord had a complicated expression, his tone full of self-mockery, "I think it's just that I'm ignorant. I've lived for almost a million years, and today's battle almost made me lose my mind."
When she said this, her expression was sincere, and it was obvious that she meant it from the heart.
"Although you didn't use your full strength, the power you displayed is no less than that of an ordinary immortal. Your Nine Mountains Sect's Divine Sky Legion..."
Lord Shuyu Dragon was suddenly stuck, as if he didn't know how to describe what he saw and heard today.
Zheng Fa knew how to describe it - Sir, times have changed!
The combination of the Shenxiao Legion and the Houtu Yuanci Array has indeed produced an effect of one plus one being greater than two.
In fact, the reason why he can fight against immortals across levels is still the powerful magnetic force of the earth veins.
Before transforming the Baixian League's earth veins, Zheng Fa and his team first sorted out the earth veins of the Nine Mountain Realm.
Because of the existence of the Heavenly Emperor's body, this process has become much easier. It can even be said that most of it can be completed just by thinking about it.
Today, the entire Nine Mountains Realm's mortal world is covered with thick earth elemental magnetic arrays.
Unlike the Hundred Immortals Alliance, the Yuan Magnetic Array within the Nine Mountains Realm is mainly an infrastructure used to improve transportation efficiency and industrial production capacity.
In addition, it is used for training of the Shenxiao Legion.
The Jiushan Sect has conducted exercises like today's five or six times. The disciples of the Shenxiao Legion have gradually become proficient and can be said to have been initially honed.
"The Dragon Lord has probably guessed that the reason it can unleash such powerful power is because this formation actually integrates the magnetic force of the earth veins of the entire Nine Mountain Realm."
The Jade Dragon Lord nodded gently and asked, "What does the Divine Sky Legion do?"
"Dispatch."
"Dispatching?"
Seeing her puzzled expression, Zheng Fa simply explained:
"For example, the drumbeat not only enhances spiritual awareness, breaks illusions, and inspires disciples, but also serves as a message. When the Shenxiao Corps at other nodes hear the drumbeat, they will activate their formations and cooperate with the disciples here to fight the enemy."
"And the mirror?"
"It's mainly for transmitting and receiving magnetic force."
The Jade Dragon Lord roughly understood what was said and suddenly realized, "You sound simple, but I dare say that the Xuanwei Realm has never had such an exquisite formation."
Zheng Fa chuckled, feeling a little proud.
Speaking of which, this formation combines the magical power of Qiankun in the sleeve, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of Tianhe Venerable, and even some ideas of the Nine Chapters of Array.
Each one is a unique and wonderful method.
It can even be said that it is one of the highest scientific research achievements of Jiushan Sect today.
Today was the first time I tried my hand at this skill, and it seemed to have scared even the Jade Dragon Lord.
The Jade Dragon Lord suddenly asked, "From what you're saying, if the range of this Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Formation is wide enough, then its power... wouldn't it be even greater? Perhaps in the future, it could rival a True Immortal?"
It was really scary.
"We hope so, but it won't happen, of course. There are still many areas that can be improved in this Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Array."
Zheng Fa's words made the expression of Lord Shuyu Dragon change slightly.
This formation can defeat the gods, and Lord Shuyu Dragon doesn't mind.
It’s okay to be able to defeat the immortals.
But being able to fight against True Immortals...
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon was panicked, after all, she was a true immortal.
She had to admit that if Zheng Fa was demonstrating to her, it was indeed successful.
"Of course, this formation has many limitations and can only be used for defense." Zheng Fa saw her worried expression and spoke of its shortcomings in a comforting tone, "The Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Formation cannot be moved."
"I know that... no wonder you're so confident."
The Jade Dragon Lord said softly.
"Dragon Lord, I want you to see more than just this."
"besides?"
Lord Shuyu Dragon asked in surprise, his tone of voice changed a little, and he didn't sound very expectant.
"No, I mean, what if we build the Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Array in the ocean?"
"Build...build in the sea?" The Jade Dragon Lord stopped and turned to look at Zheng Fa. His eyes lit up, as if he couldn't believe it. He repeated, "Can it be built in the sea?"
"Of course we can," Zheng Fa said with a smile. "There are also magnetic fields at the bottom of the sea. The sea area is even larger than the Nine Mountain Realm and the Hundred Immortals Alliance combined. If we can build a thick earth magnetic formation, the power will be ten or even a hundred times greater than it is today!"
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon stared at Zheng Fa intently, as if trying to judge whether what he said was true or false. After half a cup of tea, she lowered her eyes and said nothing as she followed everyone to the Heavenly Palace. However, her flickering eyes revealed her excitement.
"Master Zheng, is it true what you said about building a thick earth elemental magnetic array on the seabed?"
"As long as the cooperation is achieved," Zheng Fa said frankly, "Dragon Lord, my Nine Mountains Sect values the ocean just as much as you do. Using a large formation to completely control the ocean will be of great benefit to us."
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon nodded slightly, as if he was convinced.
"On the other hand, the Thick Earth Elemental Array can also regulate the ocean environment and improve transportation efficiency, which will be helpful to our Jiushan Sect's aquaculture and maritime trade routes."
"Is that so?" The Jade Dragon Lord pondered for a moment and then said, "Is this what you call faith?"
"Of course." Zheng Fa smiled. "If the Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Formation in the sea is established and cooperates with you, Dragon Lord, I wouldn't say we're invincible. What would a mere Cangming Dragon Palace be compared to?"
The Jade Dragon Lord couldn't help but sigh, "Your confidence is truly genuine."
She did not refute Zheng Fa's words, because they both knew that the Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Formation was of great help to the Jade Dragon Lord.
The reason why she is now no match for Cangming Dragon Palace is not because of her weak cultivation, but because of her small number of people.
Being held back by the Cangming Dragon King, the Xuanwei Sea of the Shuyu Dragon Lord was leaking everywhere.
Essentially, this is because both sides are ancient dragons, and neither has the upper hand in the sea.
But it’s different with the Thick Earth Magnetic Array!
Even if they cannot exert greater power than today, the performance of the Shenxiao Legion just now is enough to be of great help.
If we can go one step further, the Xuanwei Sea will be as solid as a rock in the future.
When she thought of the Shenxiao Legion and the Houtu Yuanci Array at this time, she was no longer worried. Instead, she liked it more and more. She wished that the array would be more powerful so that it could kill the Cangming Dragon King with a beam of light.
Seeing her moved expression, Zheng Fa knew that the matter was finally about 80% done.
He turned to look at Senior Sister Zhang and others. Uncle Pang kept nodding at him, and even Senior Sister Zhang was smiling. Of course, the happiest person was Xiao Yuying.
"Master Zheng..."
"Dragon Lord, I will hand over the Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Formation in the ocean to you in the future."
The eyes of the Shuyu Dragon Lord were wide open, as if he was shocked.
"Of course, the ultimate control power still lies in the hands of my Jiushan Sect. However, if you, Dragon Lord, join my Jiushan Sect, you will be like a disciple of my Jiushan Sect, and you should be in control of the formation."
The Jade Dragon Lord was completely speechless at this point. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you have great courage."
"The Dragon Lord came with sincerity, and my Nine Mountains Sect naturally has its own sincerity as well."
Zheng Fa explained, "I won't hide it from you, Dragon Lord. If we want to build such a large formation on the seabed, without your help, the cost would be too high. Moreover, if you are unwilling, we can't build it."
"Without you, or without my Nine Mountains Sect, this formation would not be possible."
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon is almost equivalent to half a Shinto monk in Xuanwei Sea.
It is difficult to build a thick earth magnetic array on land.
If it is on the seabed, the engineering difficulty will be incomparable. Not to mention whether it is feasible, even if it is feasible, the cost will be too high.
If the Jade Dragon Lord could help, it would naturally be different.
What's more, as Zheng Fa said, if the Dragon Lord wants to destroy the formation, there are many ways to do it - just like the Emperor of Heaven can control the veins of the Nine Mountains, the Shuyu Dragon Lord also has a certain control over the Xuanwei Sea.
To put it bluntly, if one wants to develop the sea area, they cannot do without the Lord of Shuyu Dragon, which is why Zheng Fa was so persistent, and one could even say that he took great pains.
"We both stand to gain from working together. Once the formation is established, it will not only boost the maritime economy, but perhaps even help us cope with changes in the Xuanwei situation." Zheng Fa said to the Jade Dragon Lord, "This is one of the reasons why I sent Fairy Xiao to the Dragon Lord's side."
"Yuying?"
"Fairy Xiao is a renowned master of thunder magic from my Nine Mountains Realm. This Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Formation is the product of her immense hard work. Fairy Xiao understands this formation very well and can help you, Dragon Lord, establish it."
Only then did Lord Shuyulong realize that his disciple was not just a military supervisor. On the contrary, he was sent by Zheng Fa to assist him.
She looked at Xiao Yuying and couldn't help but marvel in her heart - to be able to create such a large formation, even if she had only done part of the work, her disciple was really... extraordinary.
Xiao Yuying seemed to see the pride in her eyes, pursed her lips, and smiled shyly and happily.
The Jade Dragon Lord shook his head and said, "I thought you were demonstrating to me... but it turned out to be my petty thoughts."
"That's not the case. To be honest, my Jiushan Sect must control the ocean. Dragon Lord, you will indeed have to cooperate with my Jiushan Sect in the future."
"You really are the one who speaks the truth upfront."
The same sentence was said by Lord Shuyu Dragon at this time without any grudge.
"What do you think, Dragon Lord?"
Unexpectedly, Lord Shuyu Dragon fell into deep thought.
Zheng Fa couldn't help but frown slightly: "Dragon Lord doesn't agree?"
The Jade Dragon Lord said frankly, "Master Zheng, I have seen the power of this Thick Earth Elemental Magnetic Formation."
"But can this formation be built in the sea? How powerful would it be once it is built..."
The Jade Dragon Lord shook his head and said, "I don't understand as well as you do. You have no evidence, but I am not sure."
Xiao Yuying couldn't help but shout, "Master!"
Zheng Fa looked at the Jade Dragon Lord and saw that he was looking directly at him. He said helplessly, "The Dragon Lord is really cautious."
"Didn't Yuying tell you? I'm a lone dragon. How could I have survived this long if I wasn't careful?"
…
Zheng Fa paced back and forth in the hall, seemingly in deep thought, then turned and said:
"This matter concerns the Dragon Lord's freedom and even his life. I understand. So, how about we just make a bet?"
"A betting agreement?"
In M&A negotiations, if there is a gap between the conditions of both parties, then they can only gamble.
"Since the Dragon Lord doubts the power of this formation in the sea, why don't we give it a try? If it's powerful enough, the Dragon Lord will agree to my Nine Mountains Sect. If not, we'll do as the Dragon Lord says."
"Is this a bet?" The Jade Dragon Lord also understood, "Then what is the bet?"
"...Cangming Dragon Palace."
Hearing these four words, Lord Shuyulong couldn't help but brighten his eyes and laughed, as if he really liked this bet.
"Very good."
