Chapter 377: 8 Dragons Bearer

Late at night.

Fang Yuan suddenly stopped while practising his martial arts, his eyes turned as he wondered, “Finally here?”

“Meng Lian… seeks permission to meet Lord!”

Moments later, a gentle voice could be heard outside the door which brought about an uneasy feeling.

“Come in!”

Fang Yuan waved his hands and the door opened, revealing Meng Lian’s alluring figure.

It seemed that Meng Lian had specially dressed up, her lips were scarlet red and she was dressed in thin silk which showed her clear, pale skin.

As she stepped in with the moonlight shining on her back, it was as though she was a faerie from the moon.

“I was foolish to offend you last time, please forgive me, my magnanimous Lord…”

Once she entered the house, she shyly bowed down to Fang Yuan and begged, “If Lord wants to put blame, I will willingly bear the blame…”

“You will bear the blame?”

Fang Yuan stroked his chin and his eyes burned with lust as he leered her entire body again and again.

“Yes, I will do anything to bear the blame!” Meng Lian replied gently.

Meng Lian coyly looked downwards as her skin blushed slightly.

“Hehe…”

Fang Yuan gave a mirthless laugh when he heard her reply.

He knew what she was hinting, however, a lady from Divine Lotus Cult should not be played with.

From his experience with Liu Mengmei, Fang Yuan obviously understood this kind of Divine Ladies were the best at clandestinely seducing men, especially when the men were smitten by them.

Furthermore, Meng Lian was a Reserved Divine Lady, her tactics were even more powerful. If she willingly gave her body, she could definitely enslave the heart of a powerful dream master in the Realm Alliance and benefit so much from it.

“That’s great!”

After Fang Yuan finished sniggering, he directly demanded, “First of all… to prove your sincerity, I want you to give me all your Dream Realm contribution points!”

“You…”

The smile on Meng Lian’s face turned stiff at once as she forced herself to reply cordially, “Lord, you are joking right?”

“What do you think?”

From Fang Yuan’s pondering gaze, she finally woke up and understood that he was absolutely not wavered by her beauty and seduction. She could not help but blush, however, it was due to anger, not shame!

“Fang Yuan!”

Meng Lian stood up as though she was a kitty brandishing her claws, “What exactly do you want?”

“Look at what you are saying, you were the one who offended me first! Just moments after you came over to seek forgiveness, you are now asking me what exactly do I want?”

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged as he watched her fume with rage. His eyes glistened and continued, “Furthermore… I am in charge of this place, how dare you spout nonsense at me with no respect for authority nor rules! Is that what Divine Ladies from Divine Lotus Cult are like? Eh?”

“Rumble!”

As Fang Yuan harangued, a giant shadow emerged behind him. It had a golden and metal-like glow to it and it affected the atmosphere, causing a powerful gust of spiritual pressure to land on Meng Lian’s body.

Meng Lian’s expression changed at once as she was moved back a few steps.

Now, she could only admit that the person she was facing had long surpassed her and was one of the truly powerful ones in the 5 Grand Organisations.

Meng Lian’s face turned pale and she rolled her eyes around before she recovered and finally replied in an odd manner, “Ok! I still have 1,000 plus contribution points, I will give it all to you!”

“Oh, I still have other conditions! But I have not thought of them now, I will tell you once I think of them.”

Fang Yuan waved his hands, “Now… take your leave and don’t disturb my meditation.”

“Meng Lian takes her leave!”

If looks could kill, Fang Yuan guessed he would have died thousands of times by now.

Once Meng Lian left, a sly smile appeared on his face as he thought, “She wants to reconcile? And she uses such a trick at the start? She clearly does not mean it!”

Fang Yuan was suddenly eagerly anticipating for the Imperial Court to attack them.

During the chaos, so what if a few of them died?

…

However, his wishes did not come true.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Perhaps it was either because they suffered too great of a loss previously or because they were afraid of the 5 Grand Organisations’ retaliation, the Imperial Court and the Hidden Dragon Guards did not attack them. They did not even reconnoitre the area which made Fang Yuan slightly gloomy.

“Seems like I can only let Meng Lian have it easy this time…” Fang Yuan thought.

Standing inside the crypt, Fang Yuan observed the earth meridian which was scintillating with a purple light and ruminated, “Also… this array, after reading through Sage Changli’s inheritance, I finally sort of understood it. There must be an ulterior motive behind the 5 Grand Organisations, their ambitions are pretty wild…”

“However, that is already like an obvious plan, there’s no use if I get it now… The only thing I can anticipate now is the day when the Jade Capital is turned upside down!”

As Fang Yuan thought to himself, he waved his hand and streams of light entered and immediately disappeared into the earth meridian.

“Lord!”

Back to the surface, a few dream masters paid their respects to Fang Yuan and offered spiritual tea and spiritual fruits.

Fang Yuan carefreely consumed a few before he returned to his room to cultivate.

Everything was fake, only one’s own power was real.

His whole body radiated with a golden metal-like glow as his Nine Transference Mystical Technique was close to completion.

“Once I fully form it, I can attain my 9th spiritual meridian and breakthrough the bottleneck and forge my body directly!”

Although forging the martial artist Divine Body was a huge checkpoint for 9th Meridian Wu Zongs, it was nothing much in Fang Yuan’s eyes.

Fang Yuan took a look at his stats:

“Name: Fang Yuan

Essence: 96

Spirit: 76

Magic: 61

Profession: Dream Soldier Master

Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (4th Tier), Wu Zong (8th Meridian)

Technique: [Nine Transference Mystical Technique (? ? ?)], [8 Gates Sword Array (5th Sword) (10%)]

Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]”

“I just need my last shot in the goalpost for my Nine Transference Mystical Technique!”

Cultivating martial arts gave Fang Yuan a kind of bottlenecked feeling, as though he just needed one more step to breakthrough, but he just could not take that step.

This was because taking that step was not as simple as attaining the 9th Meridian, it was about forging the martial arts Divine Body directly!

“I can’t believe my martial arts have finally reached such a stage!”

Fang Yuan could not help but smile as he saw the progress of his 8 Gates Sword Array.

It was an unexpected progress for Fang Yuan but a good one. After all, the 8 Gates Sword Array was a secret array which could not be easily revealed in front of others before he enacted his grand revenge. However, there were no qualms for Fang Yuan to reveal his martial arts prowess.

“Furthermore… once I forge my Divine Body, I would be a True Divine martial artist. Thus, once Da Qian descends into absolute chaos, there would be many formidable and powerful men and I would also be qualified to try to enact revenge!”

Fang Yuan was extremely grateful for his master and their relationship remained strong. Fang Yuan had not forgotten about his thirst for vengeance at all.

However, those powerful beings were naturally intelligent, wise and they could also predict the future. Hence, Fang Yuan could never mention his intentions at all.

But once Fang Yuan became a True Divine, his martial arts would surpass many and he would be able to automatically shield himself from others trying to predict him.

“Also, although I would not be able to set up many escape ways, it is still better than having none!”

…

Inside a secret chamber outside the 9 Extreme Mountain.

A daoist elder who was sitting cross-legged stood up and looked at the copper pot with eight golden dragons on it. His face appeared stupefied as he watched.

On the floor, the big mouth of the copper toad was filled with many copper balls and brought about an inauspicious meaning.

“I control the earth dragon of Da Qian but however, both Da Qian’s fate and breaths of the earth cannot defeat dream masters’ fate energy…”

The daoist elder clenched his fist so tightly that it turned white and a few streaks of blood appeared in his eyes. He was almost about to retch out a mouthful of blood.

“There are over thousands of earth meridian nodes in Da Qian. As of now, more than half of them have already fallen into the enemies’ hands. Although the repercussions of it are still not obvious now, the dream masters would definitely hasten their next move!”

The daoist elder wiped away the redness on the corners of his mouth and paced back and forth in the chamber as he muttered, “Dream masters are despicable… although we have already trained up the Hidden Dragon Guards to fight against them, they can only fight against one of the powerful organisations at most. The rest have to be fought by the Imperial Court’s True Divines and True Elemetnals!”

Other than the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards, the Imperial Court only rely on their True Divines and True Elementals to fight against a Prominent Divine powerful being.

However, although normal True Divines and True Elementals were also called powerful beings, they were only comparable to high-tiered Illusionary Divine dream masters. The most powerful ones of them were equally as powerful as dream masters at the 9th Tier of Illusionary Divine.

Nevertheless, Da Qian was still favoured by heaven’s fate and the royalties possessed secret techniques to gather fate and breaths of the earth onto the bodies of Wu Zongs and spiritual knights. This was the blessing of the heavens and inside Da Qian Empire, if they could freely consume it, they would be as powerful as Sages!

This was the capital which allowed Da Qian to hold its standing till now!

Nevertheless, at this stage, dream masters had already totally broken off all relationships with Da Qian. They dared to go against the heavens and disrupt the earth meridians. Even though the elder and the Imperial Court had fought against such numerous times, it was all futile.

This was the result of their overall strength being lacklustre compared to the dream masters; no amounts of schemes could change that.

“Shang Hou, how is it?”

Inside the chamber, a slender shadow appeared. It was as though scenes of stars being formed and dying could be seen inside his eyes; it was the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards!

“Things are not going well…”

The daoist elder, Shang Hou, shook his head and continued, “I am the dragon son of Da Qian and have cultivated the techniques of dream masters. By luck, I cultivated to the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage and hold the position of 8 Dragons Bearer, where I monitor all the nodes for the Imperial Court. However, I am now at a loss! I have seen before the array the dream masters are casting in Sage Changli’s inheritance, it is the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array! There are 1,275 nodes in Da Qian and their presence allow the heavens and earth to thrive and flourish and as long as half the nodes remain, they are still effective!”

“When we attacked them previously, we only destroyed a few of their arrangements and instead caused them to hasten their progress. Now, the array has been formed and there’s nothing we can do… you don’t have to deploy people to ambush them anymore, just prepare for the imminent war! The world is going to be in chaos soon! Cough cough…”

Shang Hou was coughing continuously and blood stained his shirt.

The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards could only remain quiet as the elder coughed.

Bodies of Illusionary Divine dream masters were strong, they would not fall sick easily and naturally, they were not as weak. However, this elder was in charge of monitoring all the earth meridians and the current situation was not in his favour as numerous nodes had fallen. Thus, all his pent-up resentment finally erupted inside him at once, which he could not withstand.

His lifespan might even be cut short from it.

“Shang Hou, you can cultivate in peace! There’s still a few imperial advisors and me to take care of this empire!”

The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards consoled Shang Hou, “Ahh… as the grandson of the emperor, I cannot escape this war!”

Elder Shang Hou smiled and suddenly grabbed the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards’ palm, “The dream masters are after me this time all because of Changli’s inheritance. I saw the core chapter, although it was just remnants of it, the secrets I uncovered from it is sufficient enough for us to use it as an advantage! We might not be able to resist against the dream masters and recover our fate energy, but we can perish together with them! Lord, would you help me?”

“You are saying…”

The Head of Hidden Dragon Guard waved his hand and a powerful restriction appeared at once. His eyes glistened blindingly.
