Chapter 216: 113 The Secret of the Dragon Seal_2
“Xuan Kong from Xuanming View has won!”
The Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary’s calm voice rang out, and a relieved smile finally appeared on Xuan Kong’s face.
He had been hiding and seeking for half a month and had painstakingly made it to Qingping County, all for the victory at this moment, to rightfully reclaim Xuanming View from the Multifarious Spirits Faction.
The Head of the Multifarious Spirits Faction shook his head frantically and roared:
“This shouldn’t be! I still hadn’t used my sword controlling technique, I shouldn’t have lost!”
“And we from Multifarious Spirits Faction have the deed to Xuanming Mountain from the provincial government, this land should belong to us, and it shouldn’t be determined this way!”
The Multifarious Spirits Faction had paid too much to seize the ore veins of Xuanming Mountain, and its sect leader couldn’t accept such an outcome.
However, the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary merely glanced indifferently at him and with a gentle wave of his sleeve, he sent him into the river.
“The Dao Convention is not the Court of Judicial Review, there is no absolute justice here, only a platform for fair competition among all sects.
Who holds the deed to Xuanming Mountain, who first occupied this place has nothing to do with it, the only criterion is this bout.”
“Since you’ve participated in the Dao Convention, you must follow the rules, within three days, the Multifarious Spirits Faction must vacate Xuanming Mountain!”
The Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary spoke impassively and decisively, determining the fate of the Multifarious Spirits Faction with a single sentence.
As he said, the Dao Convention determined victory based on cultivation and strength, it wasn’t truly fair, it couldn’t ensure that no sect would take advantage of the rules to oppress the weak.
But it did provide a way to resolve issues, can ensure potential problems were erased with minimal losses, preventing large-scale conflicts between sects.
Moreover, there’s no so-called justice in the Cultivation World.
On the platform, Xuan Kong, the victor, was greeted with cheers from disciples from various sects.
No matter his level of cultivation or status, he represented their sect standing on the podium as the final victor, deserving respect from everyone.
As Xuan Kong basked in the glory of the moment, he spotted his junior sister, Xuan Le, cheering excitedly among the crowd on the riverbank.
Xuan Kong scanned his surroundings and then eagerly gazed at the upper floors of the Primal Chaos Tower.
Complete control of the upper floors of the Primal Chaos Tower was reserved for the major sects and noble families, an invisible barrier that outsiders couldn’t peer into.
But Xuan Kong was sure that somewhere within the Primal Chaos Tower there was the nobleman who once helped the Deputy Custodian of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.
If it weren’t for the nobleman’s words, Xuan Kong, who had been seriously injured, would never have been able to defeat the Sect Leader of the Multifarious Spirits Faction on the platform.
Xuan Kong bowed respectfully towards the Primal Chaos Tower.
Standing by the window, Shen Yuan saw Xuan Kong’s respectful bow and broke out into a smile.
Xue Mingzhi whispered at his side:
“It seems this kid isn’t stupid. He knows that he owes his present success to you.”
Shen Yuan chuckled and said:
“When the wheels of fate are set in motion, outside the Great Cave Sky Blessed Land, there will be some talents who will surely rise to the peak.
This world has never belonged to the royal dynasties or the sects alone.”
Xue Mingzhi’s eyes lit up, and he asked:
“You mean, this guy named Xuan Kong will achieve great things in the future?”
Shen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Who can predict the future?”
While Xue Mingzhi’s eyes flickered, contemplating something, Shen Yuan had already taken his gaze off the platform.
He looked at what he was holding in his hand, the golden Dragon Palace Edict that Mingquan Turtle Minister had used to wield the power of the river.
This golden Dragon Palace Edict was obviously of a much higher level than the one Sunn Lanyu held, and it could wield much more of the river’s power too.
However, limited by the fact that the River Ji Dragon Palace has yet to truly return to this world, what the Spirit Transmuting Great Demon Mingquan Turtle Minister could wield remained extremely limited, to the extent of manipulating a few parts of River Ji in Cang Province.
Bearing in mind that River Ji, as one of the Four Great Ancestral Veins, although it’s the shortest of the Ancestral Veins, its basin stretches across more than ten provinces, exceeding ten thousand miles.
Cang Province is only renowned only because the River Ji Dragon Palace is located there, and it is the most significant main stem of the River Ji.
During the era of a full Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, a Spirit Transmuted Great Demon like Mingquan Turtle Minister, holding the Dragon Palace Edict, could command the territories of River Ji, and even seal the local deities of the True Being Stage in all rivers with a single word.
This is the authority that the River Ji Dragon Palace held over River Ji.
It’s just a pity that times have changed, Shen Yuan’s one sword which unifies the sword and Elemental Qi not only killed Mingquan Turtle Minister but also caused a certain degree of damage to the Dragon Palace Edict, preventing it from returning directly to the River Ji Dragon Palace.
Otherwise, Shen Yuan might not have been able to stop the Dragon Palace Edict in the River Ji.
As his index finger gently strokes the mysterious patterns on the Dragon Palace Edict, Shen Yuan vaguely sensed a familiar aura.
With a slight furrow of his eyebrows, after some contemplation, Shen Yuan realized where that aura came from.
“Incense Offering Divinity Path!”
This so-called Dragon Palace Edict was fundamentally an incense offering magic artifact.
Shen Yuan immediately became interested, since leaving Yunfu Mountains, his understanding of the Gods Purging Divine Power had stagnated.
Without incense offering deities and incense offering magic artifacts to study, relying merely on some records in the scriptures was insufficient for Shen Yuan’s Gods Purging Divine Power to reach the first level.
