Chapter 1870: Chapter 301: Three Kings in Action

The True Dragon hasn’t spoken, what kind of Dragon King is this mudfish pretending to be?

"Where is Tong Zhenyu?"

The Immortal Lord Shaoyang, who had just returned for two days, was still very unhappy: "It’s been a full two days, hasn’t he figured out what’s going on yet?"

"Zhenyu is late, please forgive me, Ancestor!"

As he spoke, Tong Zhenyu, the manager of foreign affairs at Wuji Mansion, arrived at the Stargazing Platform and apologized to the Immortal Lord Shaoyang: "The cause has been clarified, it seems that the new king of Red Cloud is stirring up the waters in the middle of Lingjiang."

"You call this stirring up the waters?"

The Immortal Lord Shaoyang pointed at the rapidly drifting rain cloud and scoffed: "Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Have you figured out why they’re doing this?"

"That... we haven’t figured out."

Tong Zhenyu shook his head and said, "As soon as our people approached, they were pushed back by the Cloud Palm. This involves a Martial Arts Monarch, and I dared not make a hasty decision, so I had them retreat."

"So, over two days, other than figuring out that it’s the new king causing trouble, you haven’t got any other information?"

The Immortal Lord Shaoyang said displeasedly, "Is the intelligence efficiency of Dutian Heavenly King’s patrols now so low? I must go to the Hanging Sky City to ask Cao Jinyu if he can still manage!"

"Report to Ancestor... Commander Cao has long fallen; the one overseeing Dutian Heavenly King’s patrols now is Qionghua Star Lord."

"Cao Jinyu is dead?"

"Yes, ambushed and killed near the Hyunhu Archipelago in the outer sea by the Han Family King."

Upon hearing Tong Zhenyu’s reply, the Immortal Lord Shaoyang was lost in thought for a long time and then sighed softly: "What a pity; the world no longer has the Path of the Desolate God."

Waving his hand with disinterest: "Go see where this rain cloud is heading."

...

In the world, all unfathomable arts are, in the end, merely techniques.

The average person finds them difficult to understand only because they haven’t reached the standard to delve into them, hence they are often described as mysterious.

The application of laws is also a form of technique; no matter how proud the king may be of their mastered skills or what astonishing titles they bestow, it amounts to the same thing.

With increasing use and deeper consideration, the application of laws becomes purer akin to wielding a pen or a hoe.

The only difference might be that this craftsman’s body is unable to handle it.

After several full days and more than a dozen repetitions, Tang Luo finally touched his limit, or rather, the limit of his divine eyes and kingly body.

And at this moment, Lingjiang had taken on a completely different appearance.

The old saying goes, when the water recedes, the rocks appear, meaning when the water level drops, the riverbed rocks are exposed.

But the current Lingjiang can perhaps be more aptly described as water receding to reveal a city.

As the waterline continuously lowered, Lingjiang ceased to be the raging river it once was, revealing the original river course, and several cities that had been buried by floods due to low terrain gradually emerged.

The townspeople of the mountain city watching the rivers down below couldn’t stop cheering, especially the elderly from Shen Ping, Xiling, and Clear Water, who teared up at seeing the rough outlines of the city emerge again.

Though the intact buildings remaining in the city were mostly tiled and flat-roofed houses, with seventy to eighty percent buried under silt and emitting a foul odor.

Yet these people couldn’t wait to rush back to embrace this land.

For it was a hometown they had believed to be unreachable, now once again right before their eyes.

[They’re all people unafraid of getting dirty.]

Overlooking Lingjiang, the Dharma Aspect of a hundred feet high, Tang Luo frowned at the remarkably different city from his memory, watching many martial artists from the Fierce Realm jump into the sludge one after another, feeling a sense of unease in his heart.

If possible, he really wanted to clear away the foul-smelling sludge much like he did with the river water, but after carefully considering the difference in effort required and the current situation, he decided against it.

Just as he was about to disperse the Primary Qi from the Dharma Aspect and return to Red Cloud for a period of recuperation before completing the cleanup, he sensed intense law fluctuations from two directions.

A formidable array emerged from Chaochang, with an array diagram spanning thousands of miles falling from the end of Lingjiang, drawing the river water into the sky, lifting the entire river as if it were a heavenly river resplendent cloth.

Another Azure Dragon came from the east, its royal body imbued with laws causing a change in the wind and clouds, charging straight toward the spectacular heavenly river.

The Shaoyang Azure Dragon entered the water, distributing rain and steering clouds, splitting the elevated Lingjiang heavenly river into two.

Half transformed into etherial thunderclouds, the other half into dark rain-bearing clouds, one heading towards Chengzhou, the other to Chuanyuan.

This made Tang Luo feel slightly surprised; while executing his actions, his true intention was indeed to demonstrate power.

And through nearly a dozen repetitions of law, a hundred-zhang Primary Qi Dharma Aspect, and the commanding power of a decree across thousands of miles, it should have been enough to let all the families of Longzhou understand what he intended to achieve.

If the preaching at Red Cloud Mountain by the former lead only counted as a wayfaring king’s passage, then his towering giant Dharma Aspect standing in the midst of Lingjiang Central Region was a declaration to everyone in Longzhou he intended to establish roots.

Under such circumstances, it would be considered a surprise if no one came to assail him, but he had never expected to receive assistance.

Yet this unthought-of event happened quite tangibly, leaving one undeniably astonished.

The array diagram originating from Chaochang was undoubtedly the work of the Yulin Pavilion, as throughout Longzhou, only this house possessed such arrays mastery.

Only a monarch could deploy a technique like steering mountains and rivers with an array diagram.

And the Shaoyang Azure Dragon was no ordinary origin; unlike those from the Lin Clan who practice soul-commanding dragon beasts, this figure actually forged through dragon soul and ascended to monarchy by breaking through with it.

Such grandeur could only belong to the Immortal Lord Shaoyang of Wuji Mansion.

But why did these two decide to help him?

Despite the lingering confusion in his heart, Tang Luo cupped his hands in salute towards the array and the Azure Dragon to express his gratitude.

...

Wuji Mansion, Stargazing Platform

"All these days only watching him flaunt, anyone unaware might think there’s only one king in Longzhou!"

With hands on hips, the Immortal Lord Shaoyang who had unleashed the Shaoyang Azure Dragon, boasted proudly to the sky: "Let’s also show that guy who’s really adept at harnessing wind, driving clouds, and bringing rain."

...

Yulin Pavilion

"Sacred Ancestor, your intervention might be seen as backing up the new king of Red Cloud Mountain."

After sensing the movement of the divine pattern from the Ancestor, Lu Shaolin sought an audience with Lu Chen, reporting: "The matters in Longzhou have already alerted the Divine Court, it is rumored that the Bright Divine Temple’s Divine Official and Qionghua Star Palace seem to have intentions of collaboration; Sacred Ancestor, this move of commanding the river might cause misunderstandings with the Divine Court, should we send a disciple to explain at the Bright Divine Temple?"

"No need."

Lu Chen declined lightly, gazing at a miniature array diagram imprinted with an area of ten thousand miles centered around Yulin Pavilion in his palm, he asked the most promising descendant: "Shaolin, look at Lingjiang now, having regained its former appearance, isn’t it more pleasing to the eye than during the flooding?"
