Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1484: 1488 The Divine of Wumen

Chapter 1484: Chapter 1488 The Divine of Wumen

…

Dew beaded on the green leaves, glistening, until a breeze finally came, dispersing them into more tiny pearls, which fell into the grass. As the morning light arrived, the entire rainforest reflected various wondrous hues, adding a touch of beauty to the ancient mountain forest.

The Wu Zhou Xuan Long slowly opened its eyes, the view before it reflected in its pupils. The dragon’s inherently clear and serene eyes were instantly filled with the brilliant colors, as if the melancholy that lingered after awakening also faded away.

The Wu Zhou Xuan Long tried to move its body, but to its surprise, found the small cave filled with a group of unfamiliar dragons!

The sound of snoring, rising and falling, gradually entered its ears, undoubtedly echoing in the cave for a long time, only heard when the Xuan Long was fully awake.

It was startled and even a little shocked by the scene before it!

Soon, the Wu Zhou Xuan Long noticed Zhu Minglang sleeping against the stone wall beside it. Like the other dragons, he seemed to have been busy for a long time, as a hint of exhaustion lingered on his peaceful face.

After clearly seeing this person, the light in the Xuan Long’s eyes instantly surpassed all previous colors!!

It stretched out its tongue, gently licking Zhu Minglang’s cheek, both excited yet cautious not to disturb him, only softly waking him.

Zhu Minglang also opened his eyes, seeing the delicate dragon face of the Little Xuan Long right in front of him, and couldn’t help but open up in a smile!

“Have you recovered?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Mew~~~~~~” The Xuan Long hadn’t expected that the blurry images it saw before were not illusions; it couldn’t express its inner joy and delight, only repeatedly uttering this melodious and unique cry!

“Mew~~~~”

“Mew~~~~~”

Year after year, it didn’t know where to find Zhu Minglang and the other companions, so it had to use the simplest and clumsiest method, returning to the place where they first met again and again!

And this pure and simple persistence finally awaited the most anticipated result, no matter how many years passed, it was worth it!

The Xuan Long’s cry also awakened the other dragons; as they opened their eyes and saw the Xuan Long’s extreme excitement, each of them also grinned.

The current look and mood of the Xuan Long were what they had experienced not long ago, so they understood this feeling better.

“Oh~~~~~”

Big Black Tooth was the first to dominate the Xuan Long’s view with its massive body, showcasing a shiny “white” black tooth.

It was using this way to tell the Wu Zhou Xuan Long that it had transformed, and asked whether it wasn’t even more mighty and invincible than before?

The Little Gold Dragon also flew a circle around the Wu Zhou Dragon, displaying its dazzling brilliance as the Jade Emperor Golden Dragon.

Previously, the Xuan Long was the pinnacle of combat strength among the dragons, being one of the big brothers and sisters the Little Gold Dragon relied on. Yet, due to the Xuan Long’s slow growth characteristics, the Reincarnation Transformation wasn’t as favorable to it as imagined.

Now its bloodline could be described as the pinnacle of the Dragon Clan, definitely not inferior to the Yellow Dragon Lord and the Red Dragon Lord. However, its destiny to only mature once every few thousand years hadn’t changed, which was a trait of the Xuan Long.

If it hadn’t followed Zhu Minglang, where it learned how to shorten its growth, it might not even have reached the growth phase by now.

Now it had matured, but its strength was probably similar to an Earthbound Dragon, not yet at the Solar Corona Level Environment.

However, what is worth pondering is that it’s only in its growth phase; once it matures, it can easily reach the Sun Crown and become a supreme existence among the Solar Corona Level!

…

…

Though the Tian Shu God City still retained some of its past appearance—its pagodas, glass temples, golden temples, and grand halls—the people residing within had changed greatly.

Th𝘪ѕ ƈhаpṯ𝖾r 𝑖ṡ pο𝘴ṯ𝗲𝒹 bƴ 𝖪𝖎𝖙є𝙣◎𝕧ꬲ𝑙

The initial beliefs and deities had long vanished here; apart from the topography and structures maintaining their old forms, not a trace of the original Tian Shu God City could be found.

Zhu Minglang vaguely remembered that grueling battle fought with all their might.

With the slightest deviation, everyone would have perished!

Yet a hundred years later, people could be said to enjoy the fruits of those struggles.

They relished the vibrancy that came after North Dipper God State’s darkest hours and the brightness brought by the unification of deities.

Now, the people ruling this land and the God City were entirely unfamiliar to Zhu Minglang, and not even a shadow of the descendants or progeny from a hundred years ago could be found here…

Such is the world; a century can cleanse everything.

In the prominent power residing in Tian Shu God City, they were a group of martial cultivators, known as the Martial Qi Shrine.

Zhu Minglang slowly walked down the Worship Boulevard, where once they had fought a bloody path. Now, this boulevard had also turned into the Martial Path, leading directly from outside the city to the most grandiose and imposing Martial Qi Grand Hall!

At the Grand Hall’s entrance, a group of white-robed martial artists were assembled. Each of them held a silver weapon, and soon Zhu Minglang saw that some of those in charge held specialized Silver Hammers and Curse Spiral Nails!

Zhu Minglang slowly entered, only to discover that a martial lesson was in session!

It was an entirely open martial class that any martial cultivator could attend, sitting on the ground to listen to the person on the high platform loudly imparting some methods!

“Sword Cultivator?” the martial cultivator guarding the entrance inquired as Zhu Minglang approached, having noticed the ancient sword suspended behind Zhu Minglang.

“Hmm.” Zhu Minglang nodded slightly.

“Enter then, though you’re a bit late, getting to hear the teachings from Our God Pang Xi is a great fortune for you over three lifetimes.” Evidently, the gatekeeper martial cultivator held a certain status, dressed more grandly, and likely also possessed significant strength as a deity.

Zhu Minglang was just about to feign a response when he inadvertently glimpsed an old man kneeling outside the grand hall’s walls, facing the wall.

The old man was aged, but still sat up with a straight back, his skin splitting from exposure to the elements.

“What’s that old man doing?” Zhu Minglang asked out of curiosity.

“Oh, seems he’s been kneeling there for a few days, not sure why. Someone bring that old one over here, if he’s revering our Martial Qi Deities, arrange a spot for him inside to do some cleaning work,” the gatekeeper martial cultivator remarked.

Two short-robed men approached the old man and brought him before the guardian deity.

“Old man, what are you doing kneeling there for half a day? We aren’t fierce people, but martial arts saints,” said the gatekeeper martial cultivator.

“Honorable One, Honorable One, I beg you not to hunt that Dragon anymore…” The old man’s lips were cracked, yet he still spoke clearly.

“Which Dragon are you talking about?”

“That Black Velvet Dragon!” the old man said.

The gatekeeper martial cultivator smiled and patiently asked, “Then tell me, why can’t it be hunted?”

“I have seen it, when I was very, very young, I saw its silhouette. It was battling a Primordial Oddity Beast above the Tianshu Divine City. At that time, the old gods of the North Dipper were ruling, and it was that divine battle that freed me from the shackles of my ascetic faith… It is the Divine Dragon of this Tianshu Divine City, the North Dipper God State, and it protects our people, fights for us. You mustn’t harm it!” the old man said, somewhat agitated.

“Old man, what you say makes sense… But don’t forget, on whose territory do you currently reside? Without us martial artists and deities who have taken over this place, you and your family would have long been devoured by rampant demon beasts!” the gatekeeper martial cultivator said.

“I have no intention of criticizing you deities, I simply hope you can be more lenient, especially towards such Dragon Clan that once protected us…” the old man said.

“Regrettably, this Dragon has already provoked the wrath of many. Moreover, our Immortal Master Cao plans to capture it into his flag. If our Immortal Master uses it, can’t it also protect the four directions?” the gatekeeper said.

“Isn’t this enslaving the Divine Dragon?” The old man almost blurted out.

However, as soon as these words were uttered, the face of the gatekeeper changed, and those around him looked at the old man with cold and fierce eyes!

“Do you realize what you have just said?” The gatekeeper martial cultivator’s gaze showed a murderous intent!

“I… I… What I meant to say is just that. I am just a commoner, though old and blind, I know the Xuanlong has favored our North Dipper, favored our Tianshu Divine City, and your actions will incur the wrath and punishment of the heavens!” The old man realized he couldn’t stop now and decided to go all out.

Seeing clearly, the old man knelt here, determined to oppose such actions to the end!

“Do you know what this city forbids? It seems you, old man, are seeking death. Today, I will whip you to death here, then skin you and hang your hide before your clan, so they understand what divine punishment is!” the gatekeeper completely lost patience and drew a silver whip chain from his side.

He raised the whip high, and even the air stirred, showing the strength with which he wielded it. Just one whip strike would inevitably spell death!

“Wait a minute, I’m still not quite sure what the old man said wrong. Could this Honorable One enlighten me to avoid committing the same offense?” Zhu Minglang stopped the gatekeeper martial cultivator and sincerely asked.

“Look, this Loose Cultivator from afar is willing to accept our teachings, so why can’t you, a hundred-year local old fool, understand human language? The divine edict has explicitly declared that the Soul Flag Masters and Dragon Shepherds are the same; any vilification or disparagement results in ten lashes, which anyone can execute, and repeat offenders may be executed!” the gatekeeper said.

“There’s even a Soul Flag Master here?” Zhu Minglang said in surprise.

“Indeed, our Immortal Master Cao is one, and many Martial Arts in our study are used to subdue dragons, imbuing our weapons with the Dragon Soul’s power. For example, this silver whip is infused with Dragon Blood and imbued with a Dragon Soul; it can cleave a hundred mountains!” the gatekeeper said proudly.

“So, inside, they are teaching methods of soaking weapons in Dragon Soul?” Zhu Minglang continued to inquire.

“That’s right, you’re in luck, just in time. Hurry inside, seeing you’re one of us with decent cultivation, after I deal with this foul-mouthing old man, I can introduce you to Immortal Master Cao to personally teach you the method,” the gatekeeper said.

“Such wondrous methods, I am truly in awe. For traversing mountains and rivers to arrive here, to show my sincerity, let me deal with this undeserving old fool. Immortal Master Cao is so great and kind, teaching so widely, yet some dare to slander him!” Zhu Minglang said.

While saying this, Zhu Minglang drew his sword with a swift motion towards the old man!

The old man flew out a thousand meters in an instant, his body seemingly deformed due to the speed.

Should he land or hit any wall or tree, he would undoubtedly be smashed to pieces!

Seeing Zhu Minglang so ruthless and eager for such power, the gatekeeper also smiled!

“Hahaha, Immortal Master Cao might like you!” the gatekeeper said.

…

Behind a wall a thousand meters away, the old man who thought he was dead slowly opened his eyes.

To his surprise, he found himself lying steadily on the grass. Despite being thrown with such force, he landed so gently, something no ordinary person could achieve!

The old man could hardly believe it.

He suddenly remembered the appearance of that Sword Master, ever young, ever the same, unchanged in a hundred years!

It was that person!!

It was that person!!

And his sword!!

Why hadn’t he recognized him earlier!!

A hundred years, a full hundred years, back then he was just a young boy, perhaps it was the only divine miracle he ever witnessed, and there were few things in his life that stirred his soul so, thus he remembered the appearance of that person; it was he who led the dragons, it was he who wielded the sword to destroy the evil Tian Shu God Hua Chou!!

“Heaven’s retribution has come, heaven’s retribution has come!”

“They should face retribution, they should face retribution, those who have never respected their ancestors, those who have never revered the Dragon Spirit!”

The old man was extremely excited, never thinking he would be so close to this legendary miracle worker, his life was now without regret, his life was now without regret!

He firmly believed that only by not violating his conscience could he truly protect his descendants and accumulate virtue for his ancestors!

Fortunately, his act of facing death today received a response from the sky!

He knew that these later usurpers were finally going to pay the price!

…

“I am Pang Chuanyi, the Martial God of Tianshu.” The gatekeeper martial cultivator naturally saw Zhu Minglang’s extraordinary bearing, so he proactively greeted him.

“I am Zhu Minglang, a Loose Immortal,” Zhu Minglang stated his identity directly.

He originally thought that his name and at least a part of his history would have been passed down in the North Dipper God State and Tianshu, but it was clear his past glories had been completely erased by the later generations.

This Martial God Pang Chuanyi had no idea who Zhu Minglang was!

“Follow me, let’s visit Immortal Master Cao together,” Pang Chuanyi said.

“Thank you, Brother Pang!” Zhu Minglang skillfully performed along.
