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.

“I never thought that you would be able to see the importance of the path of cultivation, and understand the principles of cultivating. Slow growth has no limit. Very good, very good. Your att.i.tude is very good, this is the mentality that is needed by an inheritor of a Devil Emperor. To walk slowly along a long road, as long as one is willing to continue, there will always be a day of success. Like this, as long as you find me a pure yang treasure like the one you found today every day for me to eat and use to regain my strength, I will transfer my knowledge of the techniques of the Huang’quan Sect to you, and aid you in becoming a Devil Emperor,” said the dragon.

“There truly is nothing free in the world. One magic treasure similar to the ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’, just where am I going to find a second one for you to consume?” asked Fang Han slowly, “Also, by swallowing this this treasure, you have put me in a lot of danger. The school elders will definitely be able to trace the treasure onto my body, and when they do, I will immediately die. You will also be taken away. We must solve this problem first.”
“This is not a true problem.” The dragon thought for a while, then continued, “My power isn’t fully restored yet but I can still seal ling’qi level magic treasures. Only if we encounter a bao’qi, will we struggle. However, if we encounter Divine Realm level experts from the Yu’hua School, I’m afraid I cannot do much but hide within your body. As you have absorbed the ‘Nine Aperture Golden Pellet’, and thus contain the qi of the Yellow Spring Emperor in your blood, your body is the perfect place for me to hide. As for the matter of searching for pure yang bao’qi, let’s talk about that later. The Huang’quan River enters the void, forming a small cave. I am the spirit of the Long’yuan River’s Dragon Mountain. Years ago, the Yellow Spring Emperor used his supreme magic to seal the Underground Abyss’s sacred Huang’quan River. You can currently borrow the Huang’quan River’s power and store items and hide. This way, others will not be able to detect you.”

“So it was like that,” Fang Han nodded.

He finally understood what benefits he had gained. First off, by helping the dragon find pure yang bao’qi to consume and recover its strength, he would be able to learn the techniques of the Huang’quan Sect.

Secondly, he had gained the void cave of the Huang’quan River in which he could store items.

This was truly a fair transaction.

“Also, just now when I received this pure yang rope, I also received the ten ‘Flying Yasha’, which are now all in the river. I shall use the power of the Huang’quan River to slowly raise the temperature and help them turn into ‘Shuras’. The Huang’quan River is the Underground’s sacred spring, and thus its waters contain incredible powers, ones which are perfect for refining Devils. In the future, when you train your flesh, you can enter the river and have a good swim. Once you gain these ten ‘Shura’, we will be able to even fight the elders of the Yu’hua School. Okay, I currently still have to refine the powers of the absorbed pure yang and consolidate my spiritual body. If we encounter danger, I shall appear and a.s.sist you. Not good, someone is coming at a very fast speed. They are very strong. You must run quickly.”

Still conversing, the dragon’s voice slowly faded away, as if it was falling asleep.

“Fang Han, Fang Han.”

Hearing Hong Yi’s voice, Fang Han quickly returned to reality.

“Someone is coming, we need to immediately leave here with the ‘Pink Prince’s corpse.”
Fang Han had time to explain anything, he suddenly raised his hand, and a set of pink clothes appeared on his body. It was the ‘Blood Cotton Devil Clothes’.

Afterwards, he walked next to the ‘Pink Prince’, and raising his hand again, a line of yellow water formed a swirl in his palm. The water covered the ‘Pink Prince’ and immediately disappeared.

Observing with his spirit, the ‘Pink Prince’s corpse had just fallen into the Yellow Spring Picture’s Huang’quan River.

After awakening the dragon, Fang Han was able to use more of the picture’s abilities. Now, he was able to borrow a little of the river’s water and use it to wrap thing to store in the picture.

Suddenly, Fang Han grabbed Hong Yi and yelled “Up!” A pink light picked up the two and they glided away, disappearing into the depths of the desert, and leaving the danger behind.

Upon wearing the ‘Blood Cotton Devil Clothes’, he was able to borrow the clothes’ ability to fly.

Not long after the two had left, two more shadows appeared in the sky. They landed on the ground.

One of them, wearing a ‘Golden Jade Silk Gown’, was Shan’he Ranking rank ten Yuan Kong Jian who had escaped just now. However, he wasn’t arrogant like before but extremely respectful to the person beside him! He was just like a child following his grandfather.

The man beside him, his eyebrows were curved like the moon, and his qi was like a light wind, devoid of sharpness. It seemed as if he were a puddle of spring water, a cool breeze. His clothes was just an ordinary gown, and neither a ling’qi nor a fa’qi. It seemed as if he were relying on his own strength to fly, and not relying on anything else!

“Senior brother Hua, it seems as if were are slow by a step!” said Yuan Kong Jian quietly, once again as if he were speaking to his grandfather.

The person who had come was none other than the head of the Yu’hua School’s ‘Heavenly Capital Peak’, the number one true disciple, Hua Tian Dou.

The true owner of the ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’ had arrived!
