My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 758 Dragon Lord Conspiracy
"The world in the painting - Taihuang Huang Zengtian (special), one of the thirty-six heavens left by the Taoist ancestor in the Heavenly Soldiers Map, and also the location of the first palace of the thirty-six heavenly palaces. According to Taoist legends, after the corpse-reincarnated immortals ascend to the immortal world, they first arrive at this heaven. They must cultivate merits and virtues in this world to achieve perfection before they can ascend to the next heaven."

"But this is just a rumor recorded in Taoist stories. The so-called fairyland is nothing but a void created by the Taoist ancestor."

"In the past, the Taoist ancestor preached the Dharma throughout the world and spread many methods of cultivation. Those with inferior roots but great perseverance and great opportunities can cultivate into an immortal body."

“But if the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal wants to go further, he must enter the blessed land of the cave created by the Dao Ancestor and constantly cleanse himself with the Dao essence. Only in this way can he go further and hopefully achieve the Dao fruit of an Earthly Immortal.”

"At the same time, the paradise in the painting world can also be used as a prison to imprison and suppress those vicious monsters. Unless they can break through the blockade of the heavenly soldiers and generals, they will have a chance to escape from the painting world."

"Tai Huang Zengtian: 29% (completeness)."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the information on the screen and gained a new understanding of the capabilities of the Tianbingtu.

As long as he continues to integrate the fragments of the cave heaven into it, sooner or later he will be able to evolve the complete thirty-six heavens.

Of course, there is also one most important prerequisite, which is that you must collect all the fragments of the Heavenly Soldier Map.

The message left by my future self has made it very clear that the incomplete Heavenly Soldiers Map has major flaws, and my future self has suffered a great loss because of it.

If he didn't know about this, perhaps when the completeness of the Heavenly Soldier Map reached more than 80%, he would be eager to turn this treasure into his own inheritance relic.

But now that we know about this, we must not leave any hidden dangers. We must gather all the fragments of the Heavenly Soldier Map before we can turn it into a heritage relic.

Another thing is to find a way to collect the fragments of the cave as soon as possible. The thirty-six-layer palace in the world of the painting cannot be completed by just filling it with the fragments of the cave. It also needs to be completed to achieve completeness. If the completeness is not up to standard, then the various abilities will definitely be much worse.

Jiang Xinghuo has also determined his next game goal.

1. Collect the fragments of the cave.

2. Accumulate incense.

3. Look for the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Soldiers Map.

In his future gaming career, these three goals will be his main tasks. Other things, unless they involve worldly secrets, can be put aside.

At this point, the three items in the crystal coffin have been counted.

Jiang Xinghuo had a great harvest. Although he only found four things in total, the actual value derived from them was insignificant.

The completeness of the Heavenly Soldiers Map has reached over 60%, activating the innate abilities of the world in the painting.

He also obtained the complete Sky-Peeking Eye, and used it to deduce the magical power of "Big and Small Ruyi".

Finally, he obtained the Void Drawer, a magical creation involving the authority of space.

In comparison, the first bricks obtained seemed unremarkable.

But this is also a relative result, and it does not mean that the Immortal Brick is rubbish. This kind of magic weapon that can automatically lock and track the enemy for attack is equivalent to a missile with radar, and it can often have unexpected surprise effects.

"What are your options next?"

"Will you choose to return to the Great Wind God's shrine? Or will you choose to wander around in the Snow Wind Prison? Or will you choose to leave this Snow Wind Prison?"

Jiang Xinghuo did not rush to make a choice. Instead, he opened the magic bag first, found the golden wedding candy and chose to use it, and then lit three lucky incense sticks.

In this situation, the best thing to do is to improve your luck. As long as your luck is temporarily improved, the plot that can be triggered next will be different.

"You have used it, golden wedding candy."

"You have used the Fortune Incense."

"A mysterious force of fortune envelopes your body, and your destiny and luck are both greatly improved for a short period of time."

"Your event triggering rate has also been greatly improved temporarily."

"You heard some sounds amidst the howling snow and wind. These were not sounds that materialized, but it was as if the snow and wind were telling you something."

"You can clearly feel the snow and wind tearing the sky into a vortex, as if it wants to drag your body in a certain direction."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you go to the direction indicated by the snow and wind to find out what's going on? Or will you go to another place to investigate?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the former without any hesitation. As the snow and wind tore through the sky, he controlled the character to walk towards the depths of the Snow Prison.

"Under the guidance of the wind and snow, you have come to the deepest part of the Wind and Snow Prison. The temperature here has dropped to freezing point. The cold wind blowing across your skin is like cutting it with a thousand knives. Fortunately, you have the power of Lihuo from the Xiantian Bagua to protect you, so you did not die on the road. Do you want to go deeper?"

"If you choose to continue exploring, your innate Bagua may not be able to withstand the endless wind and snow. After all, the origin of this Wind and Snow Prison is the bones of the ancient gods, and the power it possesses is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the prompt in the game text, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to continue exploring in depth.

He had already walked halfway, or even most of the way. If he turned back now, all the steps he had taken would have been in vain.

And according to the description in the game text, this obviously involves an important plot or mission clue. If you leave, you will miss this opportunity.

“You chose to move on.”

"You continue to move forward in the freezing cold, crossing one bottomless ravine after another. You can vaguely see a large number of corpses piled up in the ravines, all left behind by the most vicious monsters."

"It's a pity that you are no longer able to perform the Limb Reassembly Dharmakaya at the moment. Otherwise, if you devoured these corpses and integrated them into your Dharmakaya, you might be able to awaken the new ability of having three heads and six arms."

Jiang Xinghuo secretly thought it was a pity, but it didn't matter. Since these corpses were placed here, they would not be thrown away. It would not be too late to devour and fuse these corpses after obtaining the origin of the Wind and Snow Prison.

"Continue moving forward..." "You have reached the end of the Snowstorm Prison, and you see countless steep icebergs that are like swords and spears, standing not far ahead. They are substances evolved from the bones of the ancient gods from outer space, and they have the ability to annihilate all life."

"You have triggered the talent of Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils."

"You noticed that at the foot of an iceberg, there seemed to be a body buried under the snow. It seemed that the snow covering the body was blown away by a gust of wind, revealing the true face of the body."

"You have found the body of the Great Wind God."

Ok?
The body of the Great Wind God?

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something in his mind, and immediately controlled the character to walk over to check the body.

"You came to the front of the corpse and found that the tendons, bones and internal organs of the corpse were all shattered by a huge force. Even the soul dissipated. In addition, you found traces of the Nine-Locking Soul Searching Technique on the traces left on the corpse."

"This means that before the Great Wind God died, his memory was searched using soul-searching techniques. Perhaps the person who killed him wanted to know something, or perhaps someone wanted to take advantage of him after his death."

"The Nine Locks Soul Searching Technique is an advanced technique of the Soul Searching Technique. The Soul Searching Technique of the Xingmen Pulse can forcibly read the memories in the minds of others, but the prerequisite is that the person must maintain vital signs. If the person is dead, the Soul Searching Technique can no longer be performed."

"But the Nine-Lock Soul Searching Technique is very different. It can not only search the memories of living people, but even if a person is dead, as long as the head of the corpse is still intact, it can also read the information deep in the cerebral cortex. Unless the brain is completely destroyed, the Nine-Lock Soul Searching Technique can't detect it."

"However, the Nine Locks Soul Searching Technique also has a small drawback, which is that it cannot eliminate the traces left after it is performed. This is to prevent someone from torturing someone or forcibly reading someone else's memory for their own selfish reasons."

"In the era when the Lord of the Secular World ruled, if one wanted to perform the Nine Locks Soul Searching Technique, one had to obtain approval from the officials of the Ministry of Justice."

"But since the night of dawn, the secular world has fallen into chaos, and the secret manual of the Nine-lock Soul Searching Technique has disappeared."

"Moreover, you are also familiar with the scars left on the Great Wind God's body. Those were the injuries caused by the Dragon-Raising Technique, the Dragon Transformation Chapter. The caster gathered the dragon energy from the mountains and rivers in one strike, shattering the Great Wind God's muscles, bones, and soul."

Damage caused by dragon-raising technique?
Could it be that a dragon lord from the Dragon Guard Court did it?
Jiang Xinghuo remembered that the spirit of the Great Wind God said in the ruined temple that Fengxueyu was brought here by a mysterious person, who was suspected to be a dragon lord of the Dragon Guarding Court.

Moreover, there are two streams of dragon energy entwined in the east and west of Luosha City, which may be the resting place of the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Guarding Court.

But the Great Wind God did not say that his body was also in the Wind and Snow Prison. He said that he was killed by a mysterious person in the Forbidden City, leaving only a wisp of soul that survived by chance.

Jiang Xinghuo noticed something was wrong and began to doubt the identity of the Great Wind God in the ruined temple.

At the same time, a new text message popped up in the game.

"You found some ancient Wu Nuo characters next to the body of the Great Wind God. Do you want to try to decipher their meaning?"

Jiang Xinghuo immediately chose yes.

"You activated the effect of the Longtan Inkstone."

"The text is being deciphered, please wait..."

"You have successfully deciphered these Wu Nuo characters."

"You learned the true story of what happened back then from the records in these Wu Nuo characters."

"It turns out that the remnant soul in the ruined temple is not the Great Wind God, but the Three Dragon Lords of the Dragon Guarding Court."

"On the night when the Lord of the Secular World fell, the Great Dragon Lord of the Dragon Guard Court died in battle deep in the Forbidden City, but the other four Dragon Lords deserted the battlefield and forcibly seized four of the nine prisons of the Demon Hunting Division: the 'Wind and Snow Prison', the 'Thunder Prison', the 'Demon Prison', and the 'Yellow Sand Prison'. They wanted to make a comeback in the future with these rare treasures. Three of the Dragon Lords seized the Wind and Snow Prison."

"The Great Wind God would not give it up, so he fought with the three Dragon Lords. However, he was outnumbered and was no match for the four Dragon Lords. In the end, he was beaten to pieces by the three Dragon Lords' Dragon Transformation Fists."

"Afterwards, the Three Dragon Lords used the Nine Locks Soul Searching Technique to read his memory and learned about the existence of the 'Great Emperor Tiangang'. They also knew that it was you in the future who traveled through time and space and returned to the past to help the Lord of the Secular World create the Snow Wind Prison of the Monster Hunting Bureau, and left several treasures in the Snow Wind Prison for you in the present."

"After the Third Dragon Lord learned about these things, he became more active. Not only did he not leak the news to other Dragon Lords, but he used secret methods to disguise himself as the Great Wind God."

"In order to conceal its tracks, it even blocked its own memories and implanted the memories of the Great Wind God deep in its brain."

"If one is not careful in doing this, the residual consciousness in the memory will replace it, but the Three Dragon Lords still did it without hesitation."

“In this way, as long as he does not take the initiative to remove the seal in his mind, even if someone uses the Nine Locks Soul Searching Technique to search his memory, they will only recognize him as the Great Wind God, not the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Guard Court.”

"The purpose of the Three Dragon Lords doing this is to seize the treasures you left here. They don't know what is in the crystal coffin, but they know that it must be the most precious treasure, and it may even be a treasure that involves the authority of time and space."

After seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the great wind god in the dilapidated temple was a fake?
You really are willing to invest.

If I hadn't discovered the real body of the Great Wind God and the Wu Nuo characters he left behind, I might have really fallen into his trap.

But now it’s different. If the other party is really the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Guarding Court, then the item in his hand will come in handy.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the newly acquired void drawer, found an item from it, and equipped it on the game character.

"The incomplete Shangfang Zhanma Sword (rare item), which was bestowed by the Lord of the Secular World, can kill all monsters and demons. This Shangfang Zhanma Sword once killed a high-ranking official. Later, because the sword was incomplete, the Lord of the Secular World gave it to his descendants. Officials below the fourth rank can be killed with one sword. Officials above the fourth rank need to be activated by the Golden Law to have a chance to kill them."

According to that idiot in the dilapidated temple, the dragon lords of the Dragon Guarding Court are all royal relatives. If that's the case, this Shangfang Horse-Slaying Sword can come in handy. Even if the official is above the fourth rank, there is a chance that he can be killed with one sword by using the Golden Law to activate this Horse-Slaying Sword.

Even if we cannot completely kill the Third Dragon Lord, we can at least seriously injure him.

Moreover, the reason why the Three Dragon Lord placed the Wind and Snow Prison in Rakshasa City.

He probably wanted to use the other two dragon masters to attract firepower, thereby minimizing his presence and protecting his own life and property.

What it said to itself was the best proof of this.
