Chapter 2345: Jade Mountain Presses the White Dragon

Random Recommendation:

Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord angrily scolds Ji Fengzhou, firmly resisting Jing Country's Nine Sons Town Sea Plan, saying, "How can my generation be like Ao Shuyi? How can we be willing to be dogs and horses?"

This is not only a scolding and belittling of Ao Shuyi, but also to some extent describes the reality of the situation.

Nine stone towns鎮 the long river, calling the present world's ancestor river peaceful for ten thousand li, calm waves for ten thousand years. Those shackles that cannot be unsealed are truly pressed upon Ao Shuyi's body!

According to the agreement of that year with Lie Shan Human Emperor, he eternally towns the long river, and is also eternally towned by the long river. He can be said to be the most untranscendent transcendent one in the world, possessing supreme great power, yet trapped sitting in the dragon palace, restricted by the long river.

Although the long river is vast for ten thousand li and possesses incomparable extraordinary significance, to confine a transcendent one within it is simply too much constraint.

If the sea clan accepts the Nine Sons Town Sea pattern outlined by Ji Fengzhou, the vast sea will only be more cramped than the long river. Thereafter, all sea clan strong ones should be the same; once they have the qualification to pose a threat to the human race, the shackles on their bodies will manifest.

Transcendent ones will be even more almost impossible to be born again.

So Red Eyebrow would rather die than submit.

But Ao Shuyi, this character who has been scolded for so many years as a "river dog" and fundamentally doesn't care about self-respect and freedom, why would he descend and then rebel?

Moreover, it is so many years after the human-dragon war has already ended, at a moment when it can be said there is no hope of success.

The dragon clan cannot regain control of heaven and earth, and neither the water clan nor the sea clan can absolutely return to the same stage of dividing the court and contending with the human race.

What is the significance of his rebellion?

Not only did he choose a very bad timing for himself, but his behavior itself is also seeking death!

Why Song Huai is particularly unable to understand is because not long ago, the Jing Country Son of Heaven just invited the Long River Dragon Lord to go to Heavenly Capital City to drink and enjoy flowers, showing sufficient respect. On one hand, he emphasized the water clan's historical contributions, acknowledged the water clan's historical status, and on the other hand, he made promises to the Long River Dragon Lord, even personally drew the bottom line, severely cracking down on water clan slave trade, guaranteeing the water clan's dignity... and even sent gifts!

The Jing Son of Heaven did so much to appease the water clan, to appease the Long River Dragon Palace, and it can also be said to be one of the many preparations for this great invasion of the vast sea.

As the Son of Heaven of the central empire, to personally offer wine and respectfully call him elder is already very sincere.

The beloved daughter of the present Son of Heaven, Long Yang Princess Ji Jianrong, even impromptu performed a sword dance.

That is an imperial daughter on par with Rui Wang Ji Qingnv and Lu Wang Ji Bai Nian, who has the qualification to contend for the position of heir to the central empire... wasn't this enough respect for the Long River Dragon Lord?

In Song Huai's view, it was simply somewhat breaking with convention!

At that time, Ao Shuyi also talked very happily, with a full smile. How did he turn around and just sweep the Long River, shaking the Divine Continent?

Wei Xuanche is now harshly rebuking the Jing Son of Heaven, and the Jing Country people have no way to explain.

Ao Shuyi honestly sat on the cold bench in the dragon palace for several hundred thousand years, went to Heavenly Capital City once, and came back just to rebel! This amounts to saying that the Jing Country Son of Heaven forced the Long River Dragon Lord during the meeting; who can not believe it? Don't look at Ying Jianghong's high and mighty voice now, showing no weakness; he's probably muttering in his heart: "Did the Son of Heaven, when there was no one around, become too rude, with unconcealed arrogance, hurting the old Dragon Lord's face?"

Cao Ji stands beside the statue of the Fishing Dragon Guest with the broken fishing rod, with one foot suppressing the shaking Embracing Island, looking far into the Divine Continent's Long River, and ultimately his mind is not calm. He just sighs: "He, as a transcendent one, can do anything! Better ask, what does he want to do?"

Nine Towns are certainly great traces that span time.

But the realm of a transcendent one is also named "great"!

Ao Shuyi has behaved for several hundred thousand years, so low-key that people almost didn't feel his existence. But merely "living for several hundred thousand years" itself is a myth dreamed of but not reached by countless absolute peak strong ones.

His power, his divine abilities, how can non-transcendent ones imagine?

As for how he dares...

Cao Ji is not clear about what exactly the Jing Country Son of Heaven and the Dragon Lord ate and drank and communicated during the banquet in Heavenly Capital City last time.

The Long River Dragon Lord raising the rebellion flag in this era is indeed an extremely foolish choice and will certainly not have a good result.

But if solely based on the act of rebellion, today is indeed an opportunity that is as good as it gets for the Long River Dragon Palace.

Such an opportunity may not appear again in the future or in the past.

Since Ji Yushu established the country that year, standing on the northeast bank of the Long River, Jing Country, half embraced by the Long River, has always been suppressing the main force of the Long River. For a long time, it has shouldered the responsibility of monitoring the Yellow River's water level, monitoring the Long River Dragon Palace, and patrolling the seals of the Nine Towns.

Today, Jing Country is also going east.

Jing Son of Heaven Ji Fengzhou, Dou E's first army in this world and the True Monarch Yu Que leading Dou E, the headmaster of Penglai Island, Ling Chen True Monarch Ji Zuo, the East Heavenly Master Song Huai, the Central Domain's first True Person Lou Yue... Jing Country's investment in the vast sea is so huge, almost transferring all transferable forces.

The suppression of the Long River will inevitably be insufficient.

At least it is not sufficient to quickly suppress the rebellion personally raised by Ao Shuyi.

Although Jing Country is incomparably powerful, it also sits in the center and welcomes challenges from all directions. It also has to main town the Ten Thousand Demons Gate and confront the demon clan. It also has to guard the Heaven Gate and the many key resources of various heavens and ten thousand realms...

Sometimes it is also stretched thin!

And Wei Country on the south bank of the Long River is also an important force guarding the Long River. But last time, Wu Xun, under the name of "escorting the late Sang people home," led the Wei Martial Troops to greatly kill into the Netherworld and have not returned until now.

The suppressing forces on both banks of the Long River are precisely at an unprecedentedly empty moment, which also gave the Long River Dragon Palace the space to raise its flag.

But, the problem still returned to "but"—

What is Ao Shuyi's purpose?

The Long River Dragon Lord can be a schemer, can be an ambitious one, but he should not be a fool.

Precisely because from which angle one thinks, one cannot think of what good it would do for Ao Shuyi to do this, which is why so many people are surprised.

"Dragon Lord!"

Just at this moment, in that westernmost place, a majestic, hall-like voice rings out.

This voice is like the rising sun, instantly shining with ten thousand zhang of brilliant light, illuminating and breaking mountains and rivers.

The word "Dragon" is spoken, and the mountains and rivers are still in turmoil, winds and rains swaying. After the word "Lord" falls, the sunlight is everywhere, and the wind is harmonious and the rain is gentle.

At the westernmost end of that ten thousand li Long River, the virtual shadow of a Jade Mountain majestically rises.

This mountain is truly noble to the extreme!

Merely manifesting an outline, some traces, just gives people a feeling of nobility rarely seen in the human world.

If "Bu Zhou Mountain" is said to represent the interpretation of "mountain" within the word "mountains and rivers," being the source of inspiration for Cang Jie to create this character. Then after the collapse of Bu Zhou Mountain, perhaps only "Jade Capital Mountain" can best bear its name and redefine this character "mountain"!

To town "river" with "mountain" is probably exactly the right time, simply heavenly principle and righteousness!

Legend has it that Jade Capital Mountain is precisely at the westernmost place, at the source of the Long River.

But very few people can verify this.

Because the end of the Long River has always been impossible to trace. The roots of Jade Capital Mountain are also not something that idle generations can spy on.

However, this mountain is listed as an immortal mountain and holy land of the Dao Gate, and it is indeed suppressing an entrance to the Yu Abyss; this matter is recorded in history books - although in the middle ancient era, it was already completely sealed dead.

Today, as long as someone looks west, regardless of whether they have cultivation, regardless of their eyesight, regardless of whether their eyes are healthy, they can all see the noble outline of a Jade Mountain, towning the restless source of that surging white practice.

The red sun shoots golden arrows, the green thunder crashes the heaven bell.

The Long River shakes the Divine Continent, and the Jade Mountain presses the white dragon!

This scene is truly a world-shaking wonder, unseen for ten thousand eons.

Many myths and legends will probably sprout from this again.

And representing the power of Jade Capital Mountain at this moment is naturally only that Zi Xu True Monarch. Once Sui Tai Zu, now the headmaster of Jade Capital Mountain - Zong Dezhen!

He raises Jade Capital Mountain and presses down strongly on the Long River. His attitude towards the Long River Dragon Lord is actually not severe: "Poor Dao knows deeply that you have suffered grievances these years! With transcendent honor, bending in the river path, unable to soar to the nine heavens above, unable to flow back to the Netherworld below, grand ambitions unable to be expressed from the lungs, muscles and bones unable to stretch for it - you are tired of sitting, get up and move around, the people of the world can all understand!"

"No need to turn around!" In the surging Long River, Ao Shuyi's voice rings out.

Even though the headmaster of Jade Capital Mountain exhibits a so-called "broad-minded" character, opening his mouth to calm things down, the Long River Dragon Lord does not appreciate it.

Between the third and fourth towns of the Long River, which is the section of the river before the Tianma Plateau. Shocking waves crash continuously, as if drumming. After three drums, mad waves roll up, straight up to the high sky! The waves are like anger, the water peaks are high and lofty, almost level with the distant Jade Mountain.

At the highest point of that wave peak, stands a figure wearing a golden emperor robe.

His posture is firm, his breathing long. No actions are seen, yet he naturally possesses an aura of submission from all directions.

Different from the Yellow River meeting, different from the Dragon Palace banquet. His five senses, for the first time in a visual sense, clear up and can be seen by non-transcendent ones—

That is indeed quite outstanding five senses, with a high nose and deep eyes, eyes like red phoenixes, vaguely seeing the elegance of his youth.

But he is truly somewhat old.

"Old" is a fearful word, using eye bags to hang down his eyes, using wrinkle gullies to bury his noble air. Using twilight to dissolve glory, using decline to divide heroes.

How can this word be placed together with the Long River Dragon Lord?

How can transcendent ones become old?

Ao Shuyi, of course, endured time. Only when he initially decided to betray the dragon clan and raise the flag to split the water clan, he was already this appearance.

He is not getting older, he is just... already old.

And now he stands there, wistfully looking far away: "Zong Dezhen, do you think there is still a need to turn around?"

After the outline of Jade Capital Mountain, a majestic virtual shadow connecting heaven and earth is projected. This lord wears a white Dao robe, as if tying up the dome of heaven. His hands are slightly spread, seeming to stand after Jade Capital Mountain, embracing the human world: "There is no 'necessary' or 'not necessary', only 'willing' or 'unwilling'. As long as you are willing to turn around, on this basis, I can solve all problems."

"Zi Xu True Monarch, good spirit! You are already completely different from that young person who initially visited us at the Dragon Palace... We cannot see half of his shadow in you. All young people who vowed to change the world ultimately become high-ranking, powerful figures." Ao Shuyi says to this point, cutting short his memories and withdrawing his gaze: "Yes, I am unwilling."

"Ao Shuyi! You don't give face and don't want face! When has the human race ever treated you poorly, causing you the resentment you have today?" South Heavenly Master Ying Jianghong is already finding it difficult to restrain himself, and immediately points a finger and angrily rebukes: "The Human Emperor's legacy edict gives you an honorable name; the people on both banks sacrifice with victims; the honored seats of various countries respect you as a distinguished guest! On the View River Platform, you will always have a seat. In this present world's Divine Continent, only you, this one true dragon, are left! You have enjoyed honor and reputation for so many years, what are you still not satisfied with?"

Ying Jianghong's choice to descend at the seventh town has a reason, not only because this stone bridge is closest to Jing Tian Fu. The sixth town, named "Ba Xia Bridge," is also in Jing Country's territory and a place Ying Jianghong can reach in one step.

Why he stands here lies in this seventh town of the Long River, named "Bi An."

Compared to today's unclear rebellion, Ao Shuyi's betrayal of the dragon clan that year has clear traces to follow.

At least at that time, many strong ones among the water clan who retreated to the vast sea could understand his behavior. On one hand, they hated him to the point of wanting to peel his skin and draw his tendons, while on the other hand, they had the emotion of "still walking to this step."

Because he did indeed suffer grievances on the dragon clan's side.

As a pure-blooded dragon clan, he was very cold-shouldered by the Dragon Court, even often bullied.

This has a big relation to his unruly personality in his youth, but most importantly, it is his origin—

His mother, because she cultivated the "Supreme Tread Extreme Emperor Demon Art," was pressed to be executed at the Dragon Slaying Platform. This is probably the first recorded case of a fallen dragon clan high layer due to the temptation of demon art. When she was dug out, she had already harmed many water clan strong ones.

Ao Shuyi bearing resentment because of this is imaginable.

His father died even earlier. So he had no support at that time.

And he never retreated, never lowered his head. Whoever resented him, he also resented. Whoever dared to bully him, he just bullied.

Later, relying on his own efforts, the journey was bumpy and bitter, needless to say, but he did grow into a strong one on one side. But in this process, many hatreds also deepened.

Among them, a water clan strong one's lineal blood descendants were all killed cleanly by him.

That year, Bi An, the seventh son of the Dragon Emperor, who could not tolerate any wrongdoing and held water clan criminals accountable, just because of this, vowed to execute Ao Shuyi and once chased Ao Shuyi throughout heaven and earth. It was only when Xi Hun Shi personally came out that this matter was suppressed.

Later, the truth was investigated, and Ao Shuyi was actually the one being surrounded and killed; he just counter-killed all opponents.

Ying Jianghong stands on this stone bridge, full of confidence, with very sufficient reasons—initially, the dragon clan almost wanted to force you to death. We human race at most just knocked you a few sentences, but no one wanted your life. You live such good days, yet you still want to betray! How is this not ungrateful?

"Give face and not want face? Hehe..."

Ao Shuyi is not angry, but slowly lifts one hand, puts it on his collar, and then suddenly pulls—tearing down the emperor robe on his body!

That golden noble robe, just so, floats down in the air. It hasn't even had time to unfold its majestic details before being swallowed by the river tide.

Several hundred thousand years of honor, originally before the great tide comes, cannot even cover a single wave.

And Ao Shuyi, left with only simple martial clothes covering his body, stands at the peak of the angry waves, possessing a calmness distinctly different from the Long River at this moment.

The angry Long River, the quiet Dragon Lord. Instead, in this contradiction, embodies a kind of ultimate tension.

"Me, ah!" He says: "I'm always a lazy good-for-nothing. Wearing a coronet and sitting on an emperor's chair is also not like a king."

"Lie Shan Shi governs heaven and earth, Xi Hun Shi's momentum swallows the universe. Which one am I up to? I'm just..."

"I'm just a pitiful insect wrapped by history and thrown down under the era's iron hooves. I'm just a prisoner with empty power, yet self-imprisoning myself. I'm just a despicable one who shoulders expectations, yet disappoints everyone..."

He is like an ordinary old man pouring out his heart, and indeed does not embody the posture of a Dragon Lord, raising his voice: "I just! I just misjudged one thing! Misbelieved one person!"

"Long River Dragon Lord!" Zong Dezhen's voice rings out after that Jade Mountain, finally with some gloom: "What do you want to say?"

Truly old and confused! He wants to say he wrongly trusted whom?

Some things can be done, some things that have been done can also be changed, some things... yet cannot be said.

The glory of Lie Shan Human Emperor cannot be defiled, the greatness of Lie Shan Human Emperor cannot be questioned!

Ao Shuyi just says "Ha" and then slowly says: "The middle ancient era totaled two hundred and four thousand six hundred and sixty years. The near ancient era totaled one hundred and three thousand seven hundred and twenty-one years. After the new start of the Dao Calendar, another three thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine years. Every year I have counted over, every day I have waited for the next day. But how long have I stayed in the Long River Dragon Palace..."

He lifts his eyes. Those old drooping eyelids are like a pulled-up gate!

Under the stacked eyelids of wrinkles is a pair of suddenly bright golden eyes, possessing ultimate brilliance and glory. This one glance seems to stare at everyone who questions him: "Have you all counted clearly?"

How to count clearly?

History is all traces.

At this moment, the fierce wild wind shakes clothes and sounds. At this moment, the majestic momentum fills the sky and seals the earth.

At this moment, Ao Shuyi's figure standing alone on the waves is actually more vast than the earth, higher than the sky dome. In people's vision, it overrides everything. Outside people's vision, it possesses infinitude.

Also at this moment, the ten thousand li Long River suddenly makes a jump, as if an angry divine dragon, wanting to thoroughly break free from its bindings and leap out of the riverbed.

The head of the Dragon Gate Academy, fighting with a sword in the Long River, is like a dragon-fish falling ashore and splashing water beads. The Wei Country Son of Heaven, framing the emperor boat and pressing the tide, is overturned along with his boat! The South Heavenly Master of the Great Jing Empire is directly forced back to Jing Country in one step, retreating after the great array protecting the country, still with lines of blood dripping from the corners of his eyes.

That lofty and noble virtual shadow of Jade Capital Mountain also tilts in an instant.

And the nine ancient stone bridges framed on the Long River... actually also creak and cry under the unbearable heavy burden, all lifting up!
