Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Upon hearing Zhao Mu's question, Guiling did not answer immediately, but asked instead:

"Have you always been wondering why your senior sister started growing acquired spiritual roots in her body?"

"Haha, actually this is related to the change in the general trend of the world. To be precise, it is related to the reversal of the national destiny of the Jin Dynasty."

National destiny?

Zhao Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. This kind of thing was beyond the reach of mortals, and he had only seen it in some classics.

Gui Ling continued: "Over the years, the martial arts of the Jin Dynasty have become more and more prosperous, and the national power has become more and more powerful, so that the country's originally sluggish national destiny suddenly went against the current, forming a pattern of rising momentum."

"As an emperor, your senior sister was involved in the national destiny of the Jin Dynasty, so she only started to grow acquired spiritual roots under the influence of the national destiny that ascended to heaven."

"However, she is the only one in the entire country who has such a blessing. After all, there is only one emperor."

"Of course, when the country's destiny becomes stronger and stronger in the future, some children with innate spiritual roots will begin to appear in the Jin Dynasty. By then, there may be immortal cultivators who will come to your Jin Dynasty to take disciples."

"However, that day will probably never come, and even the entire Jin Dynasty will be completely destroyed."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Mu's face darkened.

"It's very simple. There is another way of saying the so-called general trend rising to heaven, which is called the journey of thousands of miles and the hidden dragon emerging from the abyss."

"This pattern is extremely suitable for dragons to travel through the water and take advantage of the national destiny to take flight and transform into dragons. The purpose of the black dragon entering the inland from the mouth of the Canglan River is to gain momentum for its own movement through the water."

"There are two ways for a dragon to transform into a real dragon. One is to rely purely on practice, continuously improve one's own cultivation, and finally break through one's own limits to transform into a dragon."

"The second is to turn water into a dragon. Although the final achievement of this method is not as good as the former, it can save the dragon tens of thousands of years of hard work."

"However, when a dragon walks through the water, it usually causes huge floods, so it is absolutely not allowed in a country where there are immortal cultivators, but it was different in the Jin Dynasty."

"There were no immortal cultivators in the Great Jin Dynasty. There were only countless ordinary people. There is no need to worry about the black dragon wandering around here."

"Next, the black dragon will swim upstream along the Canglan River, all the way to the source of the Canglan River. As he gets closer to the source, the world he has accumulated will become stronger, and his connection with the national destiny of the Jin Dynasty will become stronger. close."

"When he finally reaches the source, he will turn around and swim down the river, and begin to truly walk like a dragon. Eventually, he will re-enter the sea from the Canglan River, borrowing a country's luck, and become a dragon in the sky."

"But throughout the ages, dragons running through water without exception will cause huge floods. At that time, the entire Jin Dynasty will be submerged by floods."

"Everything you see now will be lost in the flood, and billions of mortals in the entire country will die."

"It takes the life of a country to transform oneself into a real dragon. This is why the dragon is not allowed to walk through the water."

Guiling's words finally stopped.

The entire Mi Dao Palace was silent, and Zhao Mu's face was more solemn than ever.

He finally understood what was going on in the future that Zhou Yuniang saw back then?

It turns out that the dead bodies scattered all over the mountains and plains in that scene were all caused by black dragons escaping from the water.

That's billions of living lives. The black dragon actually wanted to cruelly kill so many people in order to transform into a dragon in advance. It was a heinous crime.

At this moment, Zhao Mu saw the cruelty of the path to immortality.

In that world, strength is the foundation of everything. Without strength, you can only be an ant that can be trampled to death.

Just like the life and death of billions of mortals in the Jin Dynasty now, the black dragon doesn't care at all.

"Strength!"

Zhao Mu clenched his fists and asked: "Is there any way to prevent the black dragon from escaping? For example, go find the immortal cultivator and kill the black dragon. You should know where to find the immortal cultivator, right?"

"it's useless."

Gui Ling shook his head: "The black dragon has begun to move through the water and gather momentum. Under the pull of Qi, no one in the Jin Dynasty can leave the country. If you can't get out, where can you find the immortal cultivator?"

"Why can't you leave?"

"Because the dragon walking through the water will distort the national destiny, and the distorted national destiny will form an invisible barrier on the border. Anyone who wants to go out of the border will be unconsciously affected by the barrier, and then walk back on their own."

"Is there no exception?"

"No, even I can't get out, Uncle Turtle, but the difference is that the flood caused by the dragon's movement cannot kill me, but it can kill countless mortals, including you."

Gui Ling's words made Zhao Mu's face become more solemn.

He took a deep breath: "You must have a way to solve it, right? Indeed, the flood cannot kill you, but once the black dragon escapes the water and successfully turns into a real dragon, it will still not let you go."

"Of course I know, Uncle Turtle, so I will never let him succeed."

Turtle Spirit gritted his teeth and hummed: "I will make a list later, which contains the materials for refining the formation base. You can ask your senior sister to use the efforts of the whole country to collect it."

"After I have collected everything, I will refine the formation base and then set up a dragon-slaying formation in the Jin Dynasty."

"Hmph, once the black dragon starts to really walk through the water, Uncle Turtle, I will launch the Dragon-Slaying Formation. Even if I can't kill him, I can still severely injure him and interrupt the general trend of the world."

Zhao Mu nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, I will ask the senior sister to collect the materials, but when will the black dragon escape start?"

"At least ten years from now."

"so long?"

Zhao Mu was a little surprised.

Let alone the black dragon, even with his cultivation in the Heavenly Man Realm, it only takes a few days to walk from the estuary to the source of the Canglan River.

How could the black dragon need ten years to gather strength?

"Little guy, do you think that the dragon gathering strength is as simple as swimming in the river?"

"There is no such simple good thing in the world."

"The process of the black dragon swimming upstream is the process of pulling the national destiny. The more national destiny it pulls, the slower it swims."

"When it approaches the source, it is almost equivalent to carrying the national destiny of the entire Jin Dynasty forward, and every step forward is extremely difficult."

When Gui Ling said this, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a transparent bead.

The bead was shimmering, as if there was liquid flowing.

"This is the Dingshui Pearl, little guy. I need you to take the Dingshui Pearl to find the black dragon and jump into the Canglan River upstream of it."

"When the time comes, you can use your true qi to activate the Dingshui Pearl, which will solidify the water flow of the Canglan River and slow down the time it takes for the black dragon to reach the source to thirty years."

"During this period, I will help your senior sister find all the materials as soon as possible, and then refine the array base and arrange the dragon-slaying array."

"However, a formation that covers the entire country, the refinement of the array base and the arrangement of the formation cannot be completed without more than ten or twenty years."

"So little guy, you must hold the black dragon back. Thirty years may be the only chance for you, me, and billions of mortals in the Great Jin Dynasty to survive. Do you understand?"

"Alas, it's a pity that after the black dragon began to accumulate momentum to pull the national destiny, even I couldn't interrupt him halfway, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome."

The turtle spirit looked extremely serious and stared at Zhao Mu.

In Zhao Mu's heart, he was thinking about how true or false the turtle spirit's words were?
