Chapter 514 Si Wenming (2/2)
The Black Dragon too stared at Shen Lian and was not even bothered by the pegasus that had a hint of dragon blood on it. The dragon's eyes were large just like two lanterns lit up with ghost fire.
The green flames were exceptionally creepy bearing a hint of loneliness.
Dragons, especially real dragons stood highly above the masses and were second only to deities and Buddha. In fact, the stronger dragons could match or even be more powerful than deities and Buddha.
In front of the prestigious dragon, the pegasus was about to foam in the mouth. Shen Lian consoled it gently and comb its hair to calm it down.
With an extremely calm voice, Shen Lian said, ”I once went to a very deep into the eye of the sea and saw a Water Residence and it had a similar breath to the breath that I remembered lingering around the residence.”
The High Priest said, ”Could that be your former residence?”
He lowered his body to ask the Black Dragon but the Black Dragon gave no reaction.
The High Priest then said, ”I have forgotten that it has drunk the Soup of Forgetfulness and has erased of all of its memories. Currently, it is living in this world that was founded by Wenming in order to protect its own existence.”
Shen Lian was surprised and said, ”Were you talking about Wenming who was the monarch and founder of the kingdom of Xia? I have heard of him but I did not know that he was capable of opening up a world. The Dragon Pond had strong vitality. But what really amazed me is that this world is as stable as the State's Academy. Man-made would never be as good as nature's creation. Looks like Wenming was a lot stronger than what I imagined him to be.”
Wenming's full name was Si Wenming. He was the monarch and founder of the Xia Kingdom and was also recognized as the strongest powerhouse of the Xia family. He led the ancestors and sorted out the overflowing Netherworld. He had fought with all types of ghosts and gods to form the Kingdom of Xia.
Coincidentally, Si Wenming was the name of Yu the Great. He was a legendary ruler from the world of Shen Lian's previous life who founded a kingdom known as Xia.
Shen Lian was very surprised when the thought crossed his mind.
Fortunately, although no connections were found between them, Shen Lian could still calmly accept all this.
The High Priest said, ”He was beyond powerful. Did you know that he once had the chance to become the master of the Netherworld but he refused? I do not know where he left to but I know that he would be guarding the Xia family and the Kingdom of Xia. He would eventually return.”
Shen Lian curiously asked, ”Could it be that you belonged to the same era as him?”
The High Priest responded, ”I do not only belong to the same era as him, do you know why I was able to live for so long?”
Shen Lian said, ”Although it was said that there was no end to the lifespan of walking celestials of the earth, it still does not make sense to live beyond thousands or millions of years. There is a great chance of getting killed in various disasters and there would always be the risk of succumbing to calamities. Considering that you have lived such a long life and it has nothing to do with the realm, I am guessing that it is the curse in you that is either helping you or harming you.”
The High Priest had a mask on his face and thus his expression was hidden. But his body quivered in the most noticeable manner and yet, Shen Lian was able to sense it.
”You are smarter than I imagined and are indeed the Man of Destiny. Wenming told me that he refused to be the master of the Netherworld because the real master has long been destined. I did not believe that there would be someone else better than him but now I have my doubts.”
