Peerless: The Starry Sky Revival Plan of the Auspicious Beasts

"Go ahead." Lang Xingying said carelessly, "The competition isn't too fierce. I've participated before, and the effect of Bingquan training is quite good."

"Then I can give it a try too." Jiang Nannan's face showed an eager look.

"It's a pity that you can't stay in Dragon City until winter." Gong Yangmo said with some regret, "The winter nights in Dragon City are very long. When the night is the longest, an illusion of nine-colored light on the dragon's wings, which was recorded in the ice billions of years ago, appears in the sky above the far north. During the existence of that illusion, the spiritual power of the world in the far north will also surge, which is very beneficial for soul masters to practice and comprehend the spiritual power of heaven and earth."

A fanatical light flashed in his eyes. "Although high-level spirit masters will also create overwhelming light and shadows when they fight, such scenes... are nothing in front of the wings of the Dragon God. Even if it is just an illusion, it is still a real great power."

The soul masters who came to see the "Dragon God's Wings" in winter also brought a lot of income to Dragon City. Some people did comprehend something from the spectacle.

Huo Yuqing uttered a small sigh of admiration filled with longing.

Wang Rui: ...Wait, it seems like he said this when he was deceiving others thousands of years ago?

"Speaking of which, there are many legends about Dragon City, one of which is about the ice spring." Gong Yangmo was bored in the car, so he began to tell the legend of his hometown like a tour guide, "According to legend, the ancestor of the dragon clan, the Dragon God, had nine children, namely the nine dragon kings of Gold and Silver, Ice and Fire, Mountain and Sea, Black and White, and the Demon Dragon..."

"Cough cough cough cough!" Wang Rui burst into a terrifying coughing fit and was almost choked to death by his own saliva.

Gong Yangmo looked at him in confusion.

"It's okay, just continue..." Wang Rui said weakly.

"Legend has it that the Ice Dragon King betrayed the Dragon God and wanted to freeze the entire world. In the end, he was killed by the Dragon God himself. His remains fell to the far north and formed eternal permafrost. The ice spring in Dragon City was formed from the blood of the Ice Dragon King."

"Then...what about the other Dragon Kings...?" asked the three-eyed big cat in a somewhat confusing tone.

"In order to fight the disaster, the Dragon God exhausted himself and fell asleep. The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King fell into an eternal sleep with their father. The Fire Dragon King, the Mountain Dragon King, and the White Dragon King died in the battle. The Sea Dragon King turned into a giant whale and recovered in the sea. He was killed by the Sea God Tang San. The Black Dragon King and the Demon Dragon King are still alive in the world. The Black Dragon King is now Emperor Tian, ​​the leader of the ten fierce beasts. He founded your Beast Sect, and the Demon Dragon King also guided the ancestors to find the ice spring and established Dragon City in the north."

"Of course, these are just legends." Gong Yangmo spread his hands. "These legends have been circulating in Dragon City for countless years. The earliest records have long disappeared. They have been passed down by word of mouth and combined with some legends that originally existed near the Far North. In the end, they became what they are now... Anyway, I think they are very unreliable."

Because it is indeed unreliable! Wang Rui screamed in his heart, Zi Ji! What did you say to the ancestors of the Nan family back then! How come the legend has changed to this point after I haven't been to Dragon City for hundreds of years? !

How can this be unreliable? This is not even reliable!

126. Chapter 124 Northern Frontier

2023-11-16

The place of Longcheng has extremely high strategic significance.

This place is located in the northernmost part of the human activity area, adjacent to the Far North soul beast settlement. It is a natural location that can serve as a bridge of communication between humans and soul beasts.

Starting from Longcheng and heading north, the trees gradually decrease and slowly turn into shrubs. Further north is the uninhabited tundra that stretches for thousands of miles, where only the most tenacious mosses and lichens can survive. The temperature gets lower and lower as you go further north, and finally there are only endless white glaciers left - there are howling winds all year round, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife, and the natural conditions are extremely harsh. This is the core area of ​​the Far North.

The uninhabited area in the far north is deserted, but there are extremely rich mineral deposits underground, especially in the location of Dragon City. Under the unfrozen spring rich in spiritual energy is the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave, which is buried with countless mysterious ice marrows. The accompanying Ice Divine Crystal is a treasure as valuable as the gold of living things.

Many years ago, Emperor Tian once went deep into the Mysterious Ice Cave to explore. However, even with his strength, he could not go too deep - it’s not that Emperor Tian’s strength would be afraid of the temperature there, but the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Cave... is too fragile.

This ice cave was carried to the far north boundary with higher temperatures by the movement of the earth's crust. The difference between its internal temperature and the external temperature is even greater than the temperature difference between ice and boiling water.

The reason why the interior of the ice cave has been able to maintain ultra-low temperatures for so many years without any leakage of ice energy is that an extremely fragile balance is always maintained inside the ice cave.

After evaluation, it was found that unless one possessed the ultimate power of ice, any external energy would likely disrupt the balance in the ice cave, causing the ice energy inside to leak out and resulting in the energy in the ice marrow being wasted.

After careful consideration, the Beast Clan did not choose to forcibly mine the ice marrow there, but instead sealed up the ice cave and left it for future development.

Perhaps this ice cave is the exclusive opportunity that fate has left for Huo Gua.

When Emperor Tian went to the Unfrozen Spring to investigate, he vaguely sensed a mysterious energy that even made him a little afraid. However, that energy was already very weak and might dissipate in the next few thousand or hundreds of years.

Di Tian guessed that the mysterious aura... was most likely related to the inheritance of gods.

After all, human exploration of the world is limited, and countless secret places are actually not within the protagonist's sight. Wang Rui said that he could fully understand that there were suspected clues to the inheritance of mysterious gods in the Far North.

In fact, Di Tian didn't know that Huo Gua was destined to inherit the throne of the God of Emotions. The reason why he agreed to Wang Rui and Tianmeng Bingcan's "god-making" plan was actually more because he had that trace of divine breath as a reassurance.

Since there are huge treasures hidden underground, the Unfrozen Spring cannot be left unprotected in the wasteland. If the human empire discovers the mineral deposits here and takes this place for itself, things will become very troublesome.

However, the Beast Clan's roots are far away in the Star Dou Great Forest. It is not realistic to dispatch personnel to guard this place, and it is even more impossible to extend the Star Dou Great Forest to the extreme north within a period of ten thousand years.

Then the best way is to support a human force that relies on the Beast Sect and is friendly to soul beasts.

Wang Rui almost instantly thought of the Tianlongmen and Dilongmen that were entrenched in Longcheng in the original novel.

So he found the Nan family.

Zi Ji, the Hell Dragon King, came into contact with the ancestor of the Nan family. She bestowed a ray of true dragon blood on the most talented child of the Nan family at that time, and helped his martial soul evolve from the Rouge Dragon to the more powerful Rouge Hell Demon Dragon.

The first patriarch of the Nan family was also a powerful man. Under his call, the newly established Dragon City recruited many soul masters with dragon martial spirits - after all, Dragon City was connected with the only two true dragons left in the world, so it was natural that it had a deeper understanding of dragon martial spirits and knew how to help dragon soul masters go further.

Afterwards, the Yu family took the initiative to move into Longcheng, injecting a powerful force into this new northern city.

The Gongyang family joined Longcheng many years later.

The Rainbow Dragon lineage came to Dragon City in search of a way to break the seven-ring shackles of their martial spirit. And they did find a way to break through to the Titled Douluo level in Dragon City - the Rainbow Dragon martial spirit can only hold seven spirit rings, which is a limitation of human beings, because human eyes can only distinguish seven colors in a rainbow. As long as you have a vision and cognition beyond that of humans, this limitation will naturally no longer exist.

Later, the Rainbow Dragon lineage was completely integrated into Dragon City and became the third largest force in Dragon City.

...Therefore, the people of Longcheng worship real dragons. They believe that the way for a dragon soul master to become stronger is to break away from the limitations of the human body and completely transform into a dragon.

Longcheng worships the dragon clan and is close to soul beasts. Many of the inherited martial spirits have been instructed by Ziji. It is also located in a remote area, and most of the supplies come from the Yueying Chamber of Commerce. No matter from which angle you look at it, it has long been considered half of its own city.

Wang Rui admitted that it was indeed he who asked Zi Ji to tell the ancestors of the Nan family a lot of the history of the dragon clan, and he did intentionally guide the soul masters of Longcheng to develop a worship and even belief in the dragon clan.

He naturally had selfish motives in doing this.

It is not necessary to collect faith to achieve godhood, but faith is still helpful to gods.

If one day soul beasts could escape the fate of being unable to become gods, he still hoped that this insignificant preparation work could help his family members to be a little smoother in the process of becoming gods.

But he assured me that things were definitely not as outrageous as they are now!

Wang Rui finally witnessed what it meant to spread rumors. History became more and more distorted as it was passed down from generation to generation, and finally formed a story that was completely different from the historical facts... But he could still hear that Gong Yangmo's legend about the dragon clan was combined with many local legends in the Far North, and he could also hear a lot of traces of Douluo history.

For example, the so-called Sea Dragon King who was killed by Tang San...isn’t that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who wanted to transform into a dragon?

On the other side, Gong Yangmo was still creating a dragon legend that even the dragons themselves could not understand. Several real children were very interested in this. Wang Rui could only give a difficult and polite smile, saying that such legendary stories were just for listening and should not be taken seriously.

For example, if the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King are a loving orthopedic couple, you must never take it seriously!

...Although in some ways it does seem to be true.

However, the legend of Chuang Ni is limited after all, and they spent almost the rest of the journey playing card games and practicing with the Wolf Star Shadow Organization.

The Moon Shadow Chamber of Commerce's convoy was moving very quickly, and the scene outside the car windows gradually became desolate. By the afternoon of the third day, the trees outside had turned into evergreen conifers.

At noon on the fourth day, the convoy arrived in Longcheng.

Dragon City is located in the northeast of the Sky Soul Empire, at the northernmost part of human activity. If you go southwest, you will enter the Sun Moon Empire. If you continue to go north, you will reach the Far North in less than half a day. The temperature here is extremely low. Even in the warmest summer, you can still see the remaining snow that has not completely melted and some wet broken ice on the ground.

The dark grey city walls were tall and solemn, with soul guides that looked quite oppressive mounted on them. From afar, one could see low-level soul guides wearing heavy cotton-padded clothes carrying barrels of antifreeze oil to take care of the soul guides on the city walls.

There are walls in the city to block the cold wind, so the temperature will be a little higher, but it is also very limited.

The convoy entered the city directly from the south gate of Dragon City. Most of the residents in the city were wearing thick clothes with fur edges. Perhaps because Dragon City was located at the junction of the two empires, the skin color of the residents in the city seemed more diverse. Occasionally, you could even see a few soul beasts walking openly on the street with soul masters.

It was also the first time that Huo Yuqing saw so many dark-skinned people from the Sun-Moon Empire, and she was looking around curiously.

Perhaps because the environment is too cold and harsh, most of the buildings in Longcheng are painted in bright warm colors, such as orange-red and bright yellow, with dark pointed roofs that are convenient for clearing snow, bringing a sense of beauty that is very characteristic of the local area.

Dragon totems, sculptures and paintings are everywhere in this city.

"It's so cold."

The convoy stopped at the gate of the Yueying Chamber of Commerce's base in the north of the city. The five-story building in the city still had Yueying's usual dark blue and silver-white color scheme, but the roof was not built in a helmet-shaped style, but instead had a pointed sloping roof to follow the local customs.

There are several crystal clear but slowly melting ice wolf sculptures at the door, sparkling in the pale sunlight. No one knows who carved them out of boredom and who spent a lot of effort to maintain them, so as not to let them melt completely.

Jiang Nannan was chilled to the bone almost as soon as she got off the car. She didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all, and was caught off guard by the dry and cold wind of Longcheng from the warm car. At this moment, she hugged her arms and rubbed them without caring about her image, and used her soul power to drive away the cold.

On the other hand, Huo Yuqing, holding hands with Wang Rui, was protected by the fire attribute soul power and did not feel cold at all.

Gong Yang Mo said goodbye to everyone and went straight home, while Lang Xingying, with a strong sense of host, led Wang Rui and others upstairs to rest.

“Xiao Qing, get organized. We still have to continue heading north. We’ll set off tonight.” The voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sounded in Huo Yuqing’s sea of ​​consciousness.

Good! It's born! Although it was a difficult birth

127. Chapter 125 The Three Kings of the Far North

2023-11-19

Huo Yuqing ran on the white ice field.

It is summer now, but the howling wind and snow in the Far North never stop. Thousands of strange glaciers stand there, casting a desolate and hideous shadow. They seem to be very close, but if you run towards the iceberg, you will find that the distance is very far.

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in her sea of ​​consciousness released powerful mental power, pointing her in the direction and helping her avoid the hungry soul beasts wandering on the ice field.

What was even more terrifying in the Far North was the howling cold wind all year round. Although it wasn't snowing now, the old snow on the ground and on the top of the glacier was blown up by the wind, roaring like smoke and dust. When those tiny ice particles hit the exposed skin, they were like tiny blades, bringing a trace of pain.

But Huo Yuqing was not afraid at all.

Looking closely, she seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint golden-red light. When those knife-like ice particles fell on her, it was as if they had encountered an open flame. They all melted away and turned into white mist, dissipating in the air.

The golden-red light that enveloped Huo Yuqing and was strong enough to resist the severe cold of the far north came from a claw knife in her arms.

Before setting off, Wang Rui casually handed over this claw knife along with a leather soul guide package.

Huo Yuqing recognized the leather soul guide Wang Rui gave her. The secret soul bone that her class teacher Mu Jin gave to their team after the freshman assessment was contained in such a leather soul guide. At that time, Wang Rui took the secret soul bone away, and now he gave Huo Yuqing another one.

The girl hasn't opened it to see what's inside yet. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tells her not to rush to absorb it, saying that this soul bone will be useful later.

It was more important to awaken the second martial soul, so Huo Yuqing suppressed her curiosity and put the soul bone away without taking it out.

Based on her understanding of Wang Rui, although the other party's attitude was very casual, as if he was just handing her a fruit knife, that claw knife should be what Wang Rui really wanted to give her.

At that time, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was screaming about the token of love in its sea of ​​consciousness, which made Huo Yuqing feel a little uncomfortable... Wasn’t the token of love that the man gave to her mother the White Tiger Dagger?

But the shadow cast by this old event only lasted for a brief moment before Huo Yuqing put it behind her.

That claw knife is really beautiful, even elegant.

It was not a soul guide, nor did it look like a weapon with actual combat value. Instead, it looked more like a fine work of art. It should be placed on the desk of any emperor as a token of status, rather than appearing in any battle-related occasions, stained with boiling blood.

The handle is made of a strange red-gold alloy with no inscriptions on it. There is also a golden fluffy ball tied to the ring for easy grip, which makes it look more like a work of art.

The blade was a smooth, solitary shape, a little longer than Huo Yuqing's own hand, with only one side of the blade being sharpened. The tip of the blade was bright yellow, and the color naturally transitioned to orange where it connected to the handle.
