Chapter 952: Azure Dragon Clan Divine Art — Summon Wind and Call Rain
The Azure Dragon Classic is a treasured heirloom of the Azure Dragon Clan, and also their cultivation technique.
It contains cultivation techniques, the Azure Dragon Clan's Divine Arts, and various secret methods of the clan.
The complete Azure Dragon Classic, unlike the one inherited by the elder brother which contains only cultivation techniques and nothing else.
When Chen Chuyang first obtained it, his Spiritual Sense was enthralled, perceiving the techniques, Divine Arts, and numerous spells inside—all the Divine secret arts the Azure Dragon Clan excels at—each wondrous and of boundless power.
"Grandmother, isn't this too precious?"
Grandmother Long Zetian waved her hand: "Take it; consider it a gift from me. As a member of the Azure Dragon Bloodline, you are entitled to cultivate the Azure Dragon Classic, and if any of your descendants are born with the Azure Dragon Bloodline, you may pass it on to them."
"In the past, a bloodline like yours—born from an external marriage, a half‑human half‑dragon bloodline—could not cultivate the Azure Dragon Classic nor even access it; at most you were half an Azure Dragon Clan member, and nothing of the Azure Dragon Clan concerned you."
"The Azure Dragon Clan has also declined; ultimately it must rely on you to rise again."
Long Zetian held high hopes for Chen Chuyang, wishing he could inherit the Azure Dragon Clan's legacy and, through him, continue the Azure Dragon Bloodline.
Granddaughter Long Ming has already borne three children and has an unseen daughter; she is unlikely to have more, so the future of the Azure Dragon Clan cannot rest with Granddaughter Long Ming.
Between Chen Chuyang and Chen Chusheng, she favored Chen Chuyang; although he has not chosen to awaken the Azure Dragon Bloodline, surely some of his descendants will be able to inherit it.
The bloodline can thus continue; given Chen Chuyang's extraordinary nature, his descendants' bloodlines will not be lacking.
Moreover, the Azure Dragon Bloodline has already been passed down; she has seen that youngster Chen Qinglian, who still carries the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline, albeit faintly—who can say what the future holds?
As for Chen Chusheng, his Azure Dragon Clan bloodline is dense and pure; under these circumstances, it can be further refined in the future, surpassing ordinary Azure Dragon Clan disciples without issue.
When that time comes, he will marry and have children, thereby continuing the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline.
Regarding offspring, Long Zetian is untroubled; the Azure Dragon Clan already possesses some draconic traits, so once Chen Chusheng's Azure Dragon Bloodline becomes sufficiently dense and pure, he will be affected and rapidly proliferate his descendants.
The influence of the Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline, mighty as a dragon, cannot fully withstand pressure, let alone the modest Chen Chusheng.
The youngster Chen Chuyang before me will also be subtly influenced; even if it affects you, it cannot be fully explained.
"Grandmother has no other wishes; I hope you can... pass it on, and ideally restore the former glory of my Azure Dragon Clan."
Chen Chuyang nodded at the words and said, "I will, Grandmother."
"The Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline will not break, nor will its inheritance; it will continue through me and my elder brother."
The Chen Clan has nothing worth inheriting.
The Azure Dragon Clan might make their line different, more noble and powerful.
In the future, their Chen Clan will not be an ordinary Chen Clan, but a Azure Dragon Chen Clan.
"That will do; Grandmother can be at ease. The Azure Dragon Clan's bloodline does not end with me, and I can face the ancestors of the Azure Dragon Clan."
Long Zetian's worries have lessened considerably; at least the inheritance exists.
One day, the brilliance of the Azure Dragon Clan will shine upon Tianwai.
It will illuminate Tianwai again, making those people feel despair once more.
"Chuyang, you are different; I have a premonition that you will lead my Azure Dragon Clan back to glory."
"The Azure Dragon Classic contains everything of our Azure Dragon Clan; if you can fully comprehend it, you may cultivate it all."
"Whether it's usage, Divine Arts, or other secret methods, you may freely cultivate any of them."
On this point, Long Zetian placed no restrictions.
Chen Chuyang nodded; within the Azure Dragon Classic he saw... a Divine Art, a body he liked greatly.
The Azure Dragon Clan's signature Divine Art—Summon Wind and Call Rain.
At first glance the art seems unimpressive, yet Chen Chuyang knows its power is certainly not lacking.
"Grandmother, is the Summon Wind and Call Rain Divine Art easy to cultivate?"
"How powerful is it?"
Grandmother Long Zetian gave Chen Chuyang a deep look, solemnly saying, "Young Chuyang, Summon Wind and Call Rain is the strongest Divine Art of our Azure Dragon Clan, also a foundational art; cultivated to a high realm it can annihilate everything, a supreme Divine Art."
"It is said an ancient ancestor of our Azure Dragon Clan cultivated it to the extreme, capable of killing saints."
"Moreover, records show it killed more than one saint."
Saints?
Can kill saints?
Chen Chuyang's eyebrows rose as he stared at his grandmother, eyes full of shock.
Saints, such... an ancient realm beyond what Chen Chuyang can even yearn for.
Summon Wind and Call Rain can kill saints; its power needs no explanation.
It is to kill, not merely suppress or grievously wound; there is a great difference.
"Boy, truly comprehend this Divine Art; if you can cultivate its fundamentals, that would be best."
"An ordinary Azure Dragon Clan member needs thirty years to grasp the basics, fifty years to wield it, and three hundred years to repel enemies."
"When you can kill foes depends on your attainment."
"I also possess this Divine Art, but its power is not as satisfactory."
The stories recorded in the Azure Dragon Classic are true, yet they cannot unleash the killing power of Summon Wind and Call Rain.
At most, they can cause a certain effect.
Compared with other Divine Arts, it is rather useless.
Gradually it was abandoned by many clan members, and since then no Azure Dragon Clan member has been able to master this Divine Art.
Thus they cannot recreate the ancestors' brilliance.
Summon Wind and Call Rain, once a great Divine Art, has gradually lost its reputation and the power it should possess.
Long Zetian felt great regret; having discarded everything of the ancestors, she hopes Chen Chuyang can revive the terror of Summon Wind and Call Rain, letting those people know the Azure Dragon Clan still exists and can still kill.
"Summon Wind."
Wind comes.
"Call Rain."
Rain comes.
Long Zetian demonstrated the divine technique in person; its power was passable.
It was just ordinary rain, unable to cause harm.
Chen Chuyang frowned, feeling the subtlety of this divine technique.
With a single glance, he discerned some of the body techniques and tricks of the Wind‑Calling and Rain‑Summoning.
After a full execution, Long Zetian stopped, the wind ceased, and the rain stopped.
"This is the Wind‑Calling and Rain‑Summoning divine technique Grandmother spoke of; Grandmother could not comprehend the technique, so this is all she could do."
"Chuyang kid, can you recreate the renowned might of this divine technique?"
Chen Chuyang said nothing, closed his eyes, and felt.
