Eternal Life (永生) Ch. 34
The Appearance of a Person
“You are the spirit of the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’?”
Hearing the statement coming from the top of the picture, Fang Han used his spirit to communicate with the dragon. Immediately, he could feel the imposing manner of the dragon’s qi, similar to that of a great river.
It was no less imposing than the roiling and surging Long’yuan River.
The Long’yuan River covered over ten thousand li, traversing across the entire Da’li Empire and acc.u.mulating at the Dragon Mountain. To Fang Han, the qi given off by dragon which sat atop the picture gave him the feeling of a true dragon, one which had lived through ancient and modern times and seen history be made. One which could change his destiny.
“Your qi is so powerful.”
Fang Han felt as if he was choking, and could only gasp.
“Originally, I was a real dragon, so of course I am powerful. However, upon suffering a severe injury, my qi suffered a great loss, and is only a residue of what it once was. However, as long as you can get me 3,636 pure yang treasures like the one you got me today and allow me to absorb their refined yang spirits, I will be able to gradually recover. When the time comes, you will no longer need to dodge and hide, but can instead inherit the Yellow Spring Emperor’s path, and become a Devil Emperor! The heavens and earth shall become your domain!”
The dragon’s voice continued to emanate.
“If you are this strong, what in the world was able to harm you?”
At least Fang Han already knew that the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’ contained the seal of the Yellow Spring Emperor, and that upon gaining it, he had gained the ability to become a Devil Emperor, and unify the Huang’quan Sect.
To think that he had actually been able to awaken the dragon of the Yellow Spring picture.
“I was harmed by Immortals from the heavens! Infinitely powerful Immortals,” stated the dragon, letting out a long sigh, “They, in order to try and find the legendary gate of eternal life, ha ha ha ha, to find the gate and open it so that they could live for eternity, to live without fear of being extinguished, to live while the world around them rots, harmed me. Ha ha ha ha ha, but you don’t need to worry about such things as you do not understand.”
The gate of eternal life, what is that? To live forever without fear of being extinguished, to flourish while the world rots, that is impossible. Has this dragon gone crazy? Has it received some kind of injury? thought Fang Han.
The dragon let out another long sigh, and suddenly asked a strange question, “Fang Han, you are called Fang Han right? I feel that your heart doesn’t contain much excitement? Do you not want to become a Devil Emperor?”
“Becoming a Devil Emperor, how could it be so easy? Along the road of cultivation, it is impossible to immediately become a Devil Emperor just by virtue of obtaining a magic treasure. I currently reside at the Yu’hua School, is there any shortage of magic treasures there? In relation, just how many Devil Emperors have risen? At the most, magic treasures only allow one to cut corners. True cultivation can only rely on oneself, and advance step by step, leaving behind solid footprints,” sternly conveyed Fang Han through his mind to the dragon.
Based on what the dragon had stated about him becoming the inheritor of the Yellow Spring Emperor’s path and possibly becoming a Devil Emperor, Fang Han truly didn’t feel much excitement in his heart.
After all, cultivation could only be increased step by step. Only those with an indomitable spirit, extraordinarily great perseverance, great wisdom, and great luck could possible cultivate to the legendary realm, which otherwise couldn’t be achieved.
Otherwise, there would be many experts under the heavens.
Even the Yu’hua School, such a large school with an honored headmaster and in possession of profound cultivation techniques and was no less famous than the Devil Emperors of the Devil Sects, found it difficult to train a Divine Realm pract.i.tioner.
Even if a Divine Realm pract.i.tioner was brought up, if they lacked a solid cultivation foundation, there would be no way for them to advance further.
For example, if the current Yu’hua School headmaster gave a ‘Yin Yang Longevity Pellet’ to a regular person and then spent great effort helping them enter the Divine Realm, then this person would become stuck at this level, never to advance further, because they would just be a pavilion made on thin air.
Thus, the headmaster instructed the disciples to go kill ‘Pink Princes’ and other people so that the elite disciples would gain spiritual transcendence, and thus gain the qualification to be bestowed with a ‘Yin Yang Longevity Pellet’.
So, could one become a Devil Emperor just by gaining the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’? Then being a Devil Emperor would mean nothing.
