Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 258: Gold Core? So what if it's a Gold Core? The rain won't come down, just as I said!

Praying to the heavens, but it seems to have fallen on Zhong Cang.

After experiencing this ordeal, the Mermaid Princess Shuiyun developed a deep awe and fear towards Zhong Cang.

In addition, the Transcendent's perception ability made her feel that Zhong Cang's future was limitless, which also made her have the thought of not being able to be enemies with Zhong Cang.

However, as a princess of the mermaid kingdom, she could yield.

But the Dragon Race, as one of the transcendent forces, could not.

Therefore, even though the mermaid princess had some doubts, the dragon sons and dragon daughters still stepped forward.

...

"Roar!"

With a proud dragon's roar, the qi of wind and rain in the world trembled even more.

It must be said that as near-perfect creatures, true dragons had their own strengths, especially in calling the wind and summoning the rain.

Previously, whether it was the son of the Black Jiao or the son of the Cloud Whale, or other aquatic Demonic Beasts, their way of calling the wind and summoning the rain was indirect.

But as true dragons, the method by which the dragon sons controlled the wind, rain, and thunder was similar to Zhong Cang... they both directly commanded and ordered the qi of wind and clouds in the world to gather.

This method had a stronger control over wind and rain.

Normally, they could make the wind and rain rise in the world.

However, the current situation was not normal.

"Buzz..."

Controlling all things with the Heavenly Heart, now, the wind and rain were Zhong Cang.

For the dragon sons to make the wind and clouds rise, they had to overturn Zhong Cang first.

But it was clear that such a thing was impossible to imagine.

Therefore, no matter how hard the dragon sons tried, the world remained calm.

"Roar!!!"

After a shout, the heavens did not respond. The true dragon soaring in the sky immediately felt something was wrong.

However, its proud personality made it unwilling to give up.

Therefore, just like the Black Scaled Dragon before, it shattered its own reverse scale, activating a state of blood rage, hoping to strengthen its control over the wind and rain in this way.

"Roar!!!!!!"

The bursting blood rage made everyone who heard the dragon's roar feel a pressure, but the world... remained calm and sunny.

"This..."

"How tragic!"

"I never thought that one day, I would sympathize with the Dragon Race..."

Zhong Cang was too strong, too powerful and invincible, making him appear like an unbeatable demon king.

And the Dragon Race, on the other hand, seemed like warriors who mustered their courage to resist in despair.

This kind of resistance, knowing they were no match, made some people inexplicably feel that the Dragon Race was pitiful, like some lone heroes.

Of course, those cultivators who thought this way were ultimately in the minority. Most humans were shocked by Zhong Cang's victory.

"To actually suppress the Dragon Race."

"It's in the aspect of calling the wind and summoning the rain... Cloud Firmament Sect has indeed produced an extraordinary figure."

"Even the Dragon Race is not an opponent... Thinking about it carefully, losing to Zhong Cang doesn't seem like a disgrace."

Because Zhong Cang forcefully suppressed the descendants of the aquatic races and the dragon sons, the perception of Zhong Cang among many human cultivators underwent a 180-degree change.

However, while the humans were excited, the mood of the Dragon Race was not so good.

Especially as one dragon son and dragon daughter after another were defeated, their expressions became increasingly gloomy.

...

"Bastard! It's all your fault!"

Seeing that the impending failure was irretrievable, the third prince of the Dragon Race couldn't help but angrily blame the Black Jiao King, trying to shift the blame.

And he had to shift the blame.

The Dragon Lord's banquet was originally a place for the Dragon Race to showcase their strength, but now, with Zhong Cang's appearance and his decree, this Dragon Lord's banquet had become a joke for the Dragon Race.

This was a huge mistake, and the third prince of the Dragon Race didn't want to bear this blame, nor did he dare to.

After all, there were three children who could succeed the Dragon Lord.

If he took the blame once, it would give the other brothers a chance.

Moreover, the third prince of the Dragon Race truly felt that this blame was on the Black Jiao King's head.

If it hadn't vehemently opposed the trade between Cloud Firmament Sect and Dragon Palace, Zhong Cang wouldn't have caused trouble at the Dragon Palace banquet due to resentment.

Even the competition of calling the wind and summoning the rain was proposed by the Black Jiao King.

And if it weren't for this competition, losing once wouldn't have been a big deal for the Dragon Race.

After all, the Dragon Race still acknowledged the strength of the human race, and losing to them in other areas was not considered a disgrace.

But calling the wind and summoning the rain was their innate talent, and it was the aspect that the Dragon Race was most proud of. They didn't want to lose in this aspect, nor could they afford to lose.

"Hoo..."

Being angrily blamed by the third prince of the Dragon Race, the Black Jiao King felt a bit suffocated and was rendered speechless.

Proposal for a competition, Call the Wind, Summon the Rain, was intended to give Zhong Cang a show of strength.

But who could have expected that Zhong Cang would be so powerful, able to defeat them in the Dragon Race's specialty.

However, the Black Jiao King knew that complaining was useless. Now, the most important thing was to resolve this matter. If Zhong Cang really defeated them in the competition of Call the Wind, Summon the Rain, then the Dragon Race in their Yunmeng Dragon Palace would truly become a laughingstock.

In this situation, the Dragon Lord would not spare it.

"We cannot let this happen..."

With a turn of his thoughts, he quickly came up with an idea.

Without personally taking action, he gave an order to his subordinates.

"Go, have Black Tou create some commotion..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

...

"Roar!!!"

As the command was given, not long after, a burst of roaring echoed suddenly in the sky.

Accompanying the roar, dark clouds gathered from all directions.

"Boom!"

"Hmm? There are clouds, and the sound of thunder. Did one of the Dragon Sons break Zhong Cang's decree?"

"That's not right, the Dragon Son who confronted Zhong Cang hasn't even made a move yet..."

"This pressure is not right... this is not the younger generation, a Gold Core has made a move!"

"Gold Core!"

"The Dragon Palace can't handle it?"

Feeling the pressure of the Gold Core, the gazes of the crowd turned towards the high-level members of the Dragon Palace, all with a hint of surprise.

Qing Qiu, who was by Zhong Cang's side, couldn't help but mock.

"To think that a Gold Core would make a move. I didn't expect the Fellow Daoist of the Dragon Race to attach such importance to this competition."

"Since that's the case, you should have told me. We are not ignorant of etiquette. If we had known you would attach such importance, I would have let Cang'er go easy on you."

"..."

These words choked some high-level members of the Dragon Race. They also had their pride.

Moreover, causing a disturbance with the Gold Core during the competition would not be as serious as losing the competition, but it would still be embarrassing for them.

And this made some Dragon Race members look at the Black Jiao King with unfriendly eyes.

Fortunately, the Black Jiao King had anticipated this when he did this.

At this moment, he furrowed his brows and pretended not to know as he gave an order to his subordinates.

"Go and see what's going on down there? Why is there such a commotion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Not long after the order was given, a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals hurriedly rushed up from the underwater Dragon Palace.

"Report, Your Majesty, something bad happened. General Black Tou drank too much Qiong wine and is causing a ruckus down there..."

"Roar!"

Before the shrimp soldiers and crab generals could finish their report, a roar erupted from underwater.

Then, a hundred-meter-long black giant catfish rushed out from underwater.

The enormous body made the catfish resemble a whale, and it emitted a strong demonic power.

In addition, there was a strong smell of alcohol constantly emanating from the catfish.

Obviously, the Black Jiao King wanted to turn the tide of the competition by causing trouble with the drunk catfish.

The latter would make the Dragon Palace's face look better.

Sensing this, Qing Qiu naturally wouldn't let them have their way. She was about to say something when she was stopped.

Stopping her was not only the Black Jiao King but also... Zhong Cang!

"Fellow Daoist from the Cloud Firmament Sect, I apologize. General Black Tou's drunkenness caused rain to fall from the sky, breaking Zhong Cang's decree and disrupting the competition. This is our fault, and I will punish it properly..."

The Black Jiao King wanted to frame the incident in this way.

However, before it could finish speaking, Zhong Cang's indifferent voice rang out.

"There was no disruption."

"Hmm?"

"What do you mean..."

Just as the Black Jiao King was puzzled by Zhong Cang's ambiguous words, his indifferent voice continued.

"I said, your General Black Tou cannot make the rain fall!"

Speaking, Zhong Cang looked at the thick dark clouds drifting in the sky and listened to the increasingly loud thunder. His expression became even more indifferent.

At the same time, a majestic, domineering, vast, and ethereal pressure emanated from him.

"Even if there is a Gold Core, without my permission, the rain cannot fall today!"
