Zhongshan Shenzhu Chi

As the crisp sound of a spine being snapped rang out, the pair of crimson-gold eyes that met Huai Nian's gaze suddenly ignited with a deafening roar.

The vast white fog, as boundless as the sea, transformed in an instant into dark rain clouds.

"You'll regret this, Red Serpent, very soon." The Mirage Dragon's voice was heavy, accompanied by the falling rain.

Before Huai Nian could reply, a sharp rebuke suddenly rang out beside her.

"Trying to leave?" Zhao Ying leaped forward, reaching out with both hands to grab the azure pearl that flew out from the forehead of the mirage dragon.

With a strong pull of his waist, he yanked it back and slammed it to the ground.

"boom--"

The hard rock was blasted into a crater one meter deep and two meters in diameter.

Seeing that the bead was about to fly away, Zhao Ying stomped on it and forcefully embedded it into the rock.

The earth roared once more.

The cracks in the rock stretched down to our feet.

The little crow was so frightened that its feathers bristled. It spread its wings and leaned against the rock with the frog, their little hearts pounding back and forth.

"What is this?" Zhao Ying turned her head and asked.

"Looks familiar." The giant snake turned its gaze and landed on the Hunxie Qinggua.

On it, there is something similar to this Dragon Ball.

Let me take a closer look.

"oh."

Zhao Ying moved her feet, bent down, and dug out the pearl, which was larger than a human head, by inserting her hands into the rock and digging out the rock fragments.

"It weighs a bit... around two hundred and fifty or sixty." She weighed the pearl in her hand, then lifted it above her head. "Can you tell anything?"

The giant snake could not see anything with the naked eye. It changed its perspective and put the dragon ball of the mirage dragon into its memory to compare with the blue water droplet inside the body of the evil frog.

The snake's tongue flows through the long river of time, bringing back that taste in my mind.

In an instant, a profound weariness swept over me, and my innate perspective shattered.

The giant snake rested its head on its body, savoring the lingering scent on its tongue.

"water transport."

Since breaking free of shackles, I have embarked on a unique divine path.

It had a vague feeling in its heart.

After breaking through the three shackles, it's likely that even with arduous cultivation, one could never reach a higher realm in a lifetime.

It was like a human court, with an emperor on the left and right, nine ministries and twelve ministers. Only by sitting in one of these positions could one possess the corresponding power.

Taking advantage of the impending chaos, the Dragon Clan is attacking the Frog Clan of Yunxi Continent, likely in order to control the world's waterways...

"Among the Dragons of the East Sea, are there any particularly powerful beings?" the giant serpent asked, turning its head.

At this moment, Zhao Ying was leading the two little ones closer to the giant clam that was completely enveloped by the spiritual energy of the mountains and waters, and was still touching it with a look of wonder.

Hearing the question, she didn't put her hand down, but tilted her head and thought for a while.

"As far as I know, there are seven dragon kings in the East Sea Dragon family."

"Qiu, Chi, Shen, Jiao, Teng, Tuo, Pan." The woman put down her hand and counted them one by one on her fingers.

"Then there are the more powerful ones... the three mythical beings with the destiny of the Ancestral Dragon, the Azure Dragon, and the Yinglong. I haven't heard any news of their birth yet."

"Fate...destiny." The giant serpent turned its head and fell into deep thought.

From a certain perspective, I can now be considered to have the destiny of the Candle Dragon.

Judging from the Mirage Dragon King who had just stared at him, there should be at least one mythical dragon hatching in the East Sea.

The dragons' brazen invasion of the frog tribe in Yunxi Continent is undoubtedly for that mythical true dragon...

Competition for water transport.

It is highly likely that it is the destiny of Yinglong.

"Azure Dragon, do you have any records of this in Central Continent?" the giant serpent asked again.

"Yes, Lord Mengzhang, one of the Four Spirits of Heaven, and also a title given to him by some dynasty, I don't know if it was from the previous dynasty or the dynasty before that." Zhao Ying raised her head, her neck arching gracefully like a swan, her thin lips slightly parted, her face full of thought.

"It seems to be... the creation of a cardinal primate."

"Oh? What are the titles of the other three?" the giant snake pressed.

"The Divine Lord of Geng Metal, whose sharpness and cruelty are the ultimate in execution."

"Lord Lingguang, your radiant light shines like the blazing sun."

"True Martial God, profound and serene, suppressing the underworld."

After counting to three, Zhao Ying had used up all her fingers. She clenched her fist and said excitedly, "I want to ask you a question! It might be a little presumptuous, but may I ask?"

"Hmm." The giant serpent was still pondering the meaning of those four titles when it gently swayed its tail and responded with a soft "hmm."

"I want to ask, which mythical dragon are you?"

Upon hearing this, the frog and the little black crow, who were still stroking the spiritual energy clam shell, silently withdrew their movements and turned to look at the large snake that was coiled up in a ball.

long silence.

"I apologize for my intrusion..."

"No, I was just thinking about something else." The giant serpent regained its composure and slithered towards the giant clam. "Have you heard the myth of Zhongshan?"

"No, before I met you, I only knew that there was a Xuan Snake God in Zhongshan." Zhao Ying shook her head, her eyes filled with the same doubt as the two little ones.

"Then you can treat me as a continuation of the Xuan Snake myth. The biggest connection between my mother and me and the East Sea Dragon genus is probably our similar physical appearance."

The red serpent flicked its tongue, carefully examining the condition of the clam general.

The healing provided by the spirit of Zhongshan was nothing short of miraculous.

Are the injuries too severe to save? As long as it's not completely dead, why not just give it a new body?

"This General Clam..." The giant serpent murmured.

The clam general was saved, but the water element within his body had been dispersed.

It can no longer be considered a creature of Yunmeng Marsh.

"Being alive is the luckiest thing." The frog jumped onto the clam shell, which was still in spirit form, and looked into the eyes of the red snake. "Candle, thank you."

"But now you have killed this demonic dragon, angering the dragons of the East Sea..."

"You don't need to worry about that," the giant snake sneered, its eyes burning with disdain.

"I've been struck by lightning in Chunhua City for several days, all because of their evil deeds. And even if this demonic dragon doesn't die now, it will definitely charge into Zhongshan and die in the future."

"You and dragons are natural enemies, but aren't we the same?"

The giant serpent almost never dreams. When it does, it only dreams of its past life experiences, where people and things are shrouded in a veil, making them unclear. It only remembers those events one by one.

The vivid dream I had a few days ago could only have been Zhongshan giving me a warning through prophecy.

The East Sea Dragon species will spare no effort to absorb the water vapor of the Nine Provinces in order to hatch that mythical seed.

With a drought looming, Huai Nian could not allow them to cross Zhongshan Mountain.

Unless the East Sea Dragon bows its head, it will release the water element during the severe drought in Yongning Continent, thus nourishing all things.

Otherwise, the two sides would already be mortal enemies from the very foundation of their survival, from the very source.

"Grow up well, and when you launch your counterattack on Yunmengze in the future, I'll also get to eat some dragon meat." The frog hesitated, but the giant snake directly changed the subject.

"You can divide this demonic dragon among yourselves, but remember to leave some for Mountain Lord and Golden Ape King."

"Great! I've never had dragon liver before!" Zhao Ying snapped her fingers, and a flame appeared with a bang.

"I suggest grilling it."

"Candle, aren't you going to eat?" the little black crow asked, tilting its head.

"Eating it won't do me any good... I'll just take the Dragon Ball with me."
