Chapter 548: Reclamation and Island Building, Making a Feint to the East and Attacking to the West
The Xuanwei Sea is located in the north, 27,000 miles below the seabed, and it is pitch dark when you stretch your hand out.
Lord Shuyulong and others stood behind Zheng Fa, watching his sleeves flying like waves, brushing across the sea water.
A rumbling sound came from under my feet, and a mountain on the seabed, like a newly grown bamboo shoot, was visibly arching up.
The sea water suddenly boiled and surged everywhere, and the undertow caused countless fish and shrimps to flee in panic.
"Please, Lord Dragon, give me a helping hand."
Upon hearing this, Lord Shuyu Dragon opened his mouth and spat out a bead, which emitted a blue gem light.
She shone the pearl at the bottom of the sea, and the waves subsided. The mountain grew more than ten times faster.
In just three incense sticks' time, the peak of the mountain pierced through the sea surface.
Looking from the sea, this is just a strange island that appeared inexplicably. The soil and stone on the island are green with black, and there is no vitality at all. It has no value at all.
But the Jade Dragon Lord looked at the deserted island and couldn't help sighing: "I have witnessed the wonders of your magical powers."
Xiao Yuying smiled and said, "Master, you don't know that this magical power is originally a way to capture the enemy. It's just that the Sect Master has always had strange ideas and always uses it in these messed-up ways."
Upon hearing this, Lord Shuyulong glanced at Xiao Yuying. Don’t look at what this disciple said, it’s different from ordinary people, it’s a mess, it’s all derogatory.
But how could she not hear the pride in those words?
She was really depressed by her own disciple's attitude, but she also had to admire Zheng Fa's application of supernatural powers.
It is not entirely true to say that it is magical. Take adjusting the earth veins for example. It only takes a single thought. And with just this single thought, some great feats that have never been seen in the mysterious world can be created.
Zheng Fa smiled and said, "The fact that we were able to complete this project so quickly is thanks to you, Dragon Lord."
It has to be said that the ancient dragons are truly blessed in the ocean.
What would have taken the Jiushan Sect at least several months to complete was a piece of cake for the Shuyu Dragon Lord.
Racial advantage is so unreasonable that it makes people envious and jealous.
"The method of your Nine Mountain Sect is really unreasonable and makes others envious."
Zheng Fa was stunned. How could you say my words?
The Jade Dragon Lord felt the majestic magnetic field on the island and the spiritual energy slowly gathering around him, and sighed, "Once this formation is deployed, who else in the sea can be your opponent except my dragon clan?"
"Although I don't know how my dragon clan's magical powers came about, I'm afraid it's not as simple as yours."
"My dragon clan has accumulated for several eras, while your Jiushan Sect has only accumulated for a hundred years..."
"Even in the future, it's hard to say who is stronger, my dragon clan's magical power or yours."
Having said that, Lord Shuyu Dragon shook his head and closed his mouth, as if he was suffocated and didn't want to talk anymore.
Zheng Fa consoled him, "The Dragon Lord's magical powers in the sea are incomparable to ours. This formation is also a trick."
To put it bluntly, when it comes to navy, no one can compare to the dragon clan.
If it were in the sea, Jiushan Sect would really not have much way to deal with ancient dragons like Cangming Dragon King.
Therefore, Jiushan Sect chose to reclaim land and build islands.
Even among the top leaders of Jiushan Sect, there is a crazy idea:
If Lord Shuyu Dragon is really unwilling to join the Jiushan Sect, then the sea trade will no longer be safe, which is something Zheng Fa and others are unwilling to tolerate.
Therefore, Master Huang proposed an idea that amazed Zheng Fadu - reclaiming land from the sea.
Not to mention creating a new continent, we also have to build a continental bridge between East and West Europe to get rid of the dragon clan's control over the trade routes.
Since we can’t control the ocean, let the Dragon Lord see what great changes have taken place in the world!
However, the cost of this plan would be too high without the cooperation of the Dragon Lord - the Dragon Lord would have to be crazy to support this plan.
Even Zheng Fa, who was passionate about farming, thought the plan was too radical.
Uncle Huang is a radical and sits at the same table with Yang Guang. If you listen to her, your clan will be destroyed.
Seeing that the Dragon Lord was still somewhat unhappy, Zheng Fa thought that the Dragon Lord was really narrow-minded and advised: "If the Dragon Lord is unhappy, why not think about the Cangming Dragon King?"
The Jade Dragon Lord looked up, gave Zheng Fa a deep look, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Yuying, "Is he usually so comforting?"
Xiao Yuying was silent for a moment, then said in a rebellious tone, "But..."
"But what?"
"Master, you smiled."
“…”
The smile on the Shuyu Dragon Lord's face froze instantly. He turned his head away and changed the subject casually, asking, "How do we deal with the Cangming Dragon Palace? Do you have a plan?"
Zheng Fa's expression turned serious when he heard this.
Attacking Cangming Dragon Palace was not only for the purpose of competing with the Lord of Shuyu Dragon, but the most important reason was that this was the established strategy of Jiushan Sect.
Recruiting the Lord of Shuyu Dragon is just a side job.
"We have just built the formation and we have confirmed one thing."
"What's up?"
"The Dragon Lord was able to easily destroy the Thick Earth Elemental Array in the Xuanwei Sea. Then in the North Sea, the Cangming Dragon King might also have this ability."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Dragon Lord's expression grew serious, and he nodded in agreement, "Although I'm not afraid of him, I'm not much better than him. If this formation were in the North Sea, it probably wouldn't pose much of a threat to the Cangming Dragon King."
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Jiushan Sect must cooperate with Lord Shuyu Dragon.
Just as Zheng Fa said, no matter how much the Lord of Shuyu Dragon praised it, the Thick Earth Yuanci Array could not compare to the other party's control over the sea.
If Zheng Fa wants to truly suppress the Cangming Dragon King, unless he can attain the Golden Immortal stage, he will have to rely on the Shuyu Dragon Lord.
However, Zheng Fa and the people of Jiushan Sect were not in a hurry:
The Thick Earth Magnetic Array is only in its infancy. Compared with the magical powers of the dragon clan, it already has many advantages, and it is difficult to demand perfection.
What's more, technology can be iterated. As the research deepens and Zheng Fa's cultivation level gradually increases, the strength of this formation will naturally become more and more perfect.
But you have to be more cautious when dealing with the Cangming Dragon King.
"Therefore, we must choose to lure the enemy deeper." Zheng Fa said slowly, "The best option is to take down the five people from Cangming Dragon Palace in one fell swoop in Xuanwei Sea. This has the highest success rate and the lowest risk."
"If we let it escape back to the North Sea, it will be a lot of trouble."
The Jade Dragon Lord nodded repeatedly as he listened, then asked, "Then what can we use to lure them? I've observed that the Cangming Dragon King is not a careless person."
Zheng Fa smiled, flipped his wrist, and took out a precious seal: "Dragon Lord, do you think the Cangming Dragon King would like this Sea-Suppressing Seal?"
…
The second prince of Cangming Dragon Palace stepped on the waves and headed towards Xuanwei Sea.
He felt happy and irritated.
Of course, he was unwilling to marry a wife like the Jade Dragon Lord who was stronger than him.
What's more, the Dragon Lord had a cold face when he saw him and was not very interesting. He was no match for his charming concubines.
But this doesn't mean he can tolerate the other party's rejection!
Thinking of what Lord Shuyu Dragon said that day, the Second Prince's heart was filled with anger again, and he wished he could refine Xuanwei Sea as soon as possible to avenge this insult.
However, his father repeatedly reminded him to be cautious and not to act rashly. Moreover, the Lord of Shuyu Dragon was a true immortal. If he wanted to refine the other party's waters, he could only do so slowly.
These days, because of this anger, he has been staying in the border area of Xuanwei Sea for several months, wanting to make the Lord of Shuyu Dragon suffer a great loss!
But he was also tired.
As a wandering immortal, refining the sea area controlled by the true immortal dragon clan of Lord Shuyu Dragon consumed a huge amount of energy, and his soul and spiritual power were often exhausted.
What's more, he also had to be wary of the Jade Dragon Lord and guard against sneak attacks, which made him exhausted.
A few days ago, I occasionally returned to the palace, and when I faced my beloved concubine, I felt powerless...
I don’t know when this day will end. It would be great if it could end sooner.
Thinking of this, he felt even more like blaming Lord Shuyu Dragon. He was cursing in his heart when he suddenly felt a faint light flash in the corner of his eyes.
The second prince's heart moved slightly. He rolled up the sea water, hid his body, and swam forward.
Half a cup of tea later, he discovered the source of the light - in the dark sea, a long-legged woman was standing with her eyes closed, holding a treasure seal in her hand, as if refining something.
This female cultivator was extremely beautiful. If it were in the past, he would definitely want to snatch her away and play with her.
But now, what he wanted to grab was something else - the Zhenhai Seal!
Of course he could recognize that this was the Sea-Suppressing Seal that had been taken away from his father.
The area of sea that can be controlled by this Zhenhai Seal is naturally not as large as that of Xuanwei Sea, but it is not small either.
They had just arrived in Xuanwei and had lost such a large piece of territory, and the Cangming Dragon Palace was heartbroken.
"This woman is probably from the Jiushan Sect. I don't know how the Sea-Suppressing Seal ended up in her hands..." The Second Prince looked at the Sea-Suppressing Seal, his heart filled with anger. "But she is here, probably wanting to borrow the Sea-Suppressing Seal to refine the sea within it."
The sea area corresponding to the Zhenhai Seal is at the edge of Dongzhou and adjacent to the Xuanwei Sea.
The female cultivator from the Jiushan Sect was currently at the edge of the Xuanwei Sea, seemingly concentrating on refining treasures.
"A Dharmakaya..."
The Second Prince was excited and was about to take action, but he suddenly remembered his father's previous advice to be cautious, so he restrained himself.
He looked around and saw no trace of other people. He made up his mind and did not stay. Instead, he sent a message and flashed back to the Dragon Palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, he heard Cangming Dragon King asking anxiously:
"Is it really the Sea-Suppressing Seal?"
"This is a treasure that my Cangming Dragon Palace has condensed with untold hardships. How could I be wrong?"
Cangming Dragon King nodded and asked, "Is it a female Dharmakaya cultivator?"
"He looks like he's from the Jiushan Sect, so he has a high status."
"It shouldn't be low, otherwise why would Zheng Fa give her the Zhenhai Seal?"
When Cangming Dragon King said this, he gritted his teeth, obviously angry about the loss of the Zhenhai Seal.
The Dragon Palace's eldest prince said, "Maybe it's Taoist companion Zheng Fa?"
Cangming Dragon King nodded and fell into deep thought.
The Second Prince couldn't help himself and said, "Let's go get the treasure back!"
Cangming Dragon King frowned and whispered, "Let me think about it again, think about it again..."
"What are you thinking? If you hadn't said to be cautious, I would have taken action myself!" The Second Prince said impatiently, "Besides, isn't our whole family working so hard just to refine a little more sea area?"
"Taking back the Sea-Suppressing Seal is equivalent to saving us several years of effort! How can it not be worthwhile?"
"What's more, this is our treasure!"
Cangming Dragon King's expression changed slightly.
The other three dragons in the hall also nodded slightly, as if they were moved by these words. They all looked at the Dragon King, waiting for his decision.
"What a coincidence..." Cangming Dragon King's brows were still furrowed. "I was refining the Xuanwei Sea when this Sea-Suppressing Seal appeared..."
"My dear husband, are you saying this is bait?" Queen Cangming suddenly realized, "Did the Jade Dragon Lord set a trap?"
Cangming Dragon King nodded and said, "We must be on guard."
The Second Prince was not convinced: "Father, you are being too cautious. The Dragon Lord is alone. Even if he wanted to ambush us, what could he use?"
"Think it over, kid. It's dangerous for me to be alone."
"But if we attack together, we won't be afraid even if the Jade Dragon Lord has some tricks up his sleeve!"
After hearing this, the queen and the other two began to nod again.
"I'm worried about the Jiushan Sect."
"Nine Mountain Sect?" the Second Prince retorted. "If they were on land, we'd be quite afraid of them, but in the sea, how could they possibly do anything to us?"
The more the Second Prince spoke, the more he felt that he had thought it through.
But the Cangming Dragon King was still hesitant: "Now we are proceeding steadily and slowly refining the Xuanwei Sea. The Shuyu Dragon Lord will naturally be powerless to resist. If there are any unexpected complications..."
"Steady and steady? Father, you also said that in this Xuanwei Realm, no one knows when a Golden Immortal will appear! How much time do we have to proceed steadily and steadily?"
"Father, if you could take back the Sea-Suppressing Seal, your cultivation would surpass that of the Jade Dragon Lord a few years sooner... maybe even give you more time to reach the Golden Immortal stage!"
Hearing this, Queen Cangming followed up with an exhortation: "Xiaoer, what you said makes sense..."
Even the Cangming Dragon King was convinced and nodded slowly.
"Father, I will lead the way..."
"Wait a little longer." Cangming Dragon King's face was serious, and he raised his hand to quell his excitement. "Even if we want to steal the Sea-Suppressing Seal, we still have to find out more about the Shuyu Dragon Lord."
"Father!"
"I've made up my mind." The Cangming Dragon King looked at the Second Prince and shook his head. "I know you have a grudge against the Jade Dragon Lord, and I do too. But we absolutely cannot let this grudge make us lose our caution."
"But our family has come here from the Dragon Abyss Realm with great difficulty, and we must not be easily harmed. Although the Sea-Suppressing Seal is heavy, you must also be absolutely safe."
The second prince opened his mouth but was speechless.
"Xiaoer, you've been impulsive since childhood, and you've never suffered in the Dragon Abyss Realm. Your mother and I have been indulging you... Now, you're the one I'm most worried about."
"Father..."
"The Xuanwei Realm is different after all, and there are many powerful forces. We are unfamiliar with the place. You can no longer act recklessly and recklessly like before. Do you understand?"
"I understand, kid."
The Second Prince lowered his head and whispered.
Queen Cangming asked, "Then how do we find out the details about Lord Shuyu Dragon?"
"A feint to the east and attack in the west!" Cangming Dragon King laughed, "No matter if the Sea-Suppressing Seal is bait or not, let's ignore it for now and go grab something else first!"
"What?"
"I heard that the Jiushan Sect's sea trade route is very profitable."
Before the Second Prince understood, the First Prince of Cangming Dragon Palace pounded his left palm with his right hand and said happily, "Let's make the Nine Mountain Sect distracted and lose sight of the big picture first. Then, if they want to help the Jade Dragon Lord ambush us, they won't be able to do anything!"
Cangming Dragon King sneered and said, "The Jiushan Sect stole my Sea-Suppressing Seal and is our formidable enemy."
"Now, regardless of whether there are ambushes around the Zhenhai Seal, we must first attack the trade route and make them think we want to steal spiritual materials..."
The Second Prince's eyes lit up: "Then we can surprise them and take back the Sea Seal?"
