Shen Yuan remained silent and did not respond immediately.
The things given by Yunmeng Dragon King are of great value. One request means that Shen Yuan can have anything, even including the understanding of the incomplete Tiangang great magical power.
But Shen Yuan knew very well that Yunmeng Dragon Lord must have a purpose in proposing this competition, and that requirement was definitely not something that could be accomplished easily.
After thinking it over again and again, Shen Yuan asked:
"I want to know, what exactly is Long Jun's request?"
Yunmeng Longjun smiled cheerfully: "This is not a difficult task for Daozi."
"Ten thousand years ago, I killed the eleven water gods who betrayed me, and only Woxuan, the water god of Canglan River, escaped.
As time goes by, my resentment towards the Jidu Dragon Palace, which was the mastermind behind everything, has dissipated a lot. However, Woxuan has always been my inner demon. Most of the dragon sons in my Dragon Palace have died at his hands.
Because I once sealed Woxuan, I have been able to sense Woxuan's presence often during these ten thousand years. He has relied on some means to survive and has not died from the exhaustion of spiritual energy.
If I win this competition by chance, I would like to ask Daozi to help me kill Wo Xuan!"
Kill Wo Xuan?
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
This matter sounded easy to Yunmeng Dragon Lord, but in front of Shen Yuan it was definitely a hell-level task.
Ten thousand years ago, Woxuan was ranked first among the twelve water gods, and was even able to escape from the Yunmeng Dragon King.
If Wo Xuan could really live to the end of these ten thousand years, his strength would surely increase greatly, and he might even become a giant among the water race.
Shen Yuan had a very clear understanding of himself. Even though Yunmeng Dragon King treated him with courtesy, it did not mean that he was qualified to be compared with Yunmeng Dragon King.
Shen Yuan is currently only at the stage of refining essence, and rashly provoking a big boss of the level of Water God Wo Xuan would be simply courting death.
"I'm sorry, but I refuse."
Shen Yuan's words were so clear and crisp that even Yunmeng Dragon King felt surprised.
In his opinion, this immortal Taoist was famous throughout the world ten thousand years ago, and after being in seclusion for ten thousand years, his strength has reached an unimaginable level. He is definitely not on the same level as the lingering Wo Xuan.
As long as Shen Yuan was willing, killing Wo Xuan would be a piece of cake.
Yunmeng Dragon Lord was a little anxious. In order to seize a chance to kill Woxuan, he even threw out all his incomplete Tiangang magical powers.
Who knew that Shen Yuan was not affected at all, which made him speak quickly:
"Daishi, are you worried about the competition I proposed?
Although this heart lake is filled with everything I have, it is not essentially under my control. This competition is more about luck than external forces. "
Shen Yuan shook his head.
"I am not questioning the fairness of Lord Long, but I cannot fulfill the conditions Lord Long proposed, so I naturally cannot accept this competition."
Yunmeng Dragon Lord didn't believe Shen Yuan's words at all.
You should know that long before the Taoist Dengxian was born, that sect had been building up momentum for him, and its influence spread to the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
Countless geniuses from various sects chose to live in seclusion just to avoid the immortal Taoist. How could such peerless geniuses take Wo Xuan seriously?
Originally, the matter should have ended here, but Yunmeng Dragon King was unwilling to give up.
Shen Yuan's arrival is the only opportunity to kill Wo Xuan in these ten thousand years. If Shen Yuan leaves and waits until the next person who can kill Wo Xuan enters the dream, no one knows when that will be.
What's more, he may not be able to hold on until that time.
With this thought in mind, Yunmeng Dragon Lord gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:
"Since Daozi has reservations, I will not force this condition. I just hope that Daozi can kill Woxuan for me at the right time and get rid of the last obsession in my heart.
As for when the right time is, it is up to Daozi to decide.
Even if Daozi loses, he can take away what he fishes in the Heart Lake."
Shen Yuan was a little shocked.
Yunmeng Dragon Lord's words almost meant that Shen Yuan didn't need to make any promises even if he lost, and he could even get the precious knowledge about Dragon Lord in the Heart Lake. This was a deal that was completely profitable without any investment. After saying this, Shen Yuan would seem a bit ungrateful if he refused.
"Then, it's better to obey than to be respectful."
Shen Yuan immediately agreed to Yunmeng Dragon Lord's conditions.
The anxiety on Yunmeng Longjun’s face disappeared, he reached out and picked up the green fishing rod and threw the hook into the water.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan also imitated Yunmeng Longjun's actions and picked up the purple fishing rod.
As the fishing hook fell into the lake of his heart, Shen Yuan instantly felt that his consciousness seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss.
It was dead silent here, with only a few bubbles swaying around emitting faint light.
With a slight reach of his divine sense, Shen Yuan seemed to be able to see a picture of Yunmeng Dragon King inviting many water creatures to a banquet. At the banquet, the four water gods and the dragon kings of various rivers presented all kinds of treasures to Yunmeng Dragon King.
The treasures in the bubble are naturally illusory and useless even if they are fished out. However, the precious books and knowledge of magical powers offered in it are truly recorded in the memory of the Dragon King.
Once Shen Yuan chooses to fish up this bubble, he will be able to obtain the corresponding knowledge contained in it.
The fishhook swayed slightly, and Shen Yuan avoided the bubble.
Although the Dragon King's banquet was extremely luxurious, the information contained in it did not seem to be very precious in the Dragon King's memory.
What Shen Yuan really wanted was the incomplete understanding of the Tiangang supernatural power. At the very least, he would also consider the customs and practices of ten thousand years ago, which could at least provide a reference for him to complete hidden tasks.
Simple low-level magical powers and techniques are of no value to Shen Yuan.
Nothing can be seen in the boundless abyss. Shen Yuan can only rely on his own senses to keep searching and touching the bubbles.
The boat fell into a long silence, as Shen Yuan and Yunmeng Dragon King were both searching for their target in the heart lake.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the fishing rod in Yunmeng Dragon Lord’s hand finally responded.
The green fishing rod began to shake constantly, and under the calm water surface it seemed that there was a huge monster dragging the fishing rod.
Yunmeng Longjun seemed to sense something and a smile appeared on his face.
The huge monster dragged the entire boat, swaying back and forth in the heart lake. Even the fishing hook that Shen Yuan had sunk into the heart lake was affected. His consciousness could not control the direction of the fishing hook and it could only cruise back and forth.
Shen Yuan looked at Yunmeng Dragon Lord, who laughed loudly and said:
"It seems that I am still a little better in terms of luck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunmeng Dragon Lord suddenly swung his fishing rod, and a broken golden scroll was fished out from the Heart Lake and fell into Yunmeng Dragon Lord's palm.
In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky above the lake of my heart, and it seemed as if a heavy rain would fall at any time.
There is no doubt that what Yunmeng Dragon Lord fished out was the realization of the great power of calling for rain.
Maybe there was an element of trickery involved, or maybe it was simply better luck, as this fishing trip seemed to have lost all suspense.
In this lake of heart, could there be anything more precious than this incomplete Tiangang great magical power?
It seemed that all Shen Yuan could do was to pick out the most precious bubble from the remaining bubbles and take it away.
Just when Shen Yuan had this thought, a vague shadow appeared within his perception range.
Sensing in the direction of the shadow, Shen Yuan clearly saw that it was a palm-sized black kitten swimming in the lake, waving its limbs constantly, with a pair of heterochromatic eyes flashing a faint light at the bottom of the lake.
In her mouth, there was a golden carp.
The golden carp kept struggling, and tears as big as beans kept coming out of its pair of dead fish eyes.
And this little kitten is now rushing towards the direction where the fishhook is.
