Chapter 476: Creating a Pure Land

"Existed before?"

Liang Qu pricked up his ears and used a spoon to scoop a shrimp ball into Uncle Su's bowl.

The Dragon Maidens moved a stool and listened curiously.

The history of the Dragon-Man race was far less long than that of the human race, and they didn't have the habit of recording history regularly.

Most of the time, the various visions in the Great Marsh might not be as clear to them as they were to the humans on the shore.

Uncle Su was in a good mood today, ate the shrimp ball Liang Qu handed him, and didn't sell out.

"The Cloud Xiandao is rumored to be a small fragment that broke off when the Celestials fought above the bright moon."

Bright moon?

Liang Qu couldn't help but look up.

June 5th.

The moon wasn't full.

A crescent moon emitted cold silver radiance, making the courtyard look like flowing mercury.

The Cloud Xiandao was actually a piece of the moon that was fought off!?

For a moment, deep awe surged into his heart...

"Don't look, it's a lie, just telling you for fun."

Liang Qu: "..."

Uncle Su said seriously: "The so-called Xiandao is essentially a whole piece of geocentric floating stone, not subject to the weight of ten thousand forces.

Going all the way west, there are especially many near the Tianshan Mountains, known as the Three Hundred Floating Islands, and people often go to observe them, trying to comprehend spiritual images.

The difference is that the Cloud Xiandao is bizarrely large! I went upstream to near Tianshan that year to take a look; all three hundred floating islands combined might be as big as the Cloud Xiandao."

"Then why did the Xiandao disappear?"

"It's a long story." Uncle Su wrapped the chicken in sauce, "In short, the Cloud Xiandao didn't have anything special originally; floating stones are rare, but not non-existent. All kinds of divinity were later evolutions.

The beginning of its evolution must start from a Xiao Xiao Shenlong transforming the Xiandao into a palace and refining it by spitting mist..."

Xiao Xiao Shenlong!

This thing really exists!

Uncle Su answered every question, giving Liang Qu the pleasure of having his thirst for knowledge satisfied, so he immediately asked a crucial question.

"Uncle, isn't it said that true dragons can only be born in great rivers? This Xiao Xiao Shenlong..."

"Who told you the Xiao Xiao Shenlong is a dragon?" Uncle Su sneered, "The four pillars of the Jianghuai Great Marsh demon court, the former Eastern Snake has now transformed into a Flood Dragon; is it a true dragon?

The Xiao Xiao Shenlong has the word 'dragon', but it has absolutely nothing to do with the Dragon race!

From the perspective of bloodline closeness, it's not even as good as the Jianghuai Flood Dragon; it can be said to be completely unrelated!

Shrimp, crab, turtle, and tortoise, Qi gathers into mirage towers; the mirage is originally a pheasant transformation, coming from hills.

The mirage mates with a snake, and the Xiao Xiao Shenlong is born; its head is hornless, and its back has a red mane.

Whether from the way of birth or physical characteristics, it is completely different from a true dragon.

Calling it a Xiao Xiao Shenlong is just because it looks like a dragon, spitting clouds and mist, so people call it a dragon!"

Liang Qu suddenly realized.

It just happened to look like one.

Uncle Su continued: "True dragons are born from great rivers; this is a consensus. You have seen the Cloud Xiandao and witnessed the Dragon-Men gathering long Qi; have you noticed anything in the dark?"

Liang Qu scratched his head: "Noticed what?"

"The so-called heavenly long Qi is actually the evolution of the rise and fall of all things, connecting the spiritual machines of heaven and earth. Therefore, great rivers, flowing endlessly, are places where the circulation of all things is intense, and it is extremely easy to give birth to rare species of heaven and earth!

Naturally, the formation of true dragons is more complex, one of a kind, repeatedly reincarnating, and only appearing in great rivers, not in the sea, but it must be related to this!"

Liang Qu remembered his summarized wave theory and couldn't help but nod.

The "water" that makes up long Qi is everywhere, but most of it cannot be used; only when it flows, and under various factors, there is a "strong wind" to push the "water" into "waves," can it manifest as Qi.

The birth of a true dragon, scale is likely one of the necessary conditions, but not all.

The sun is at its zenith, things are born and die?

"Then why is the Cloud Xiandao no longer there?"

Liang Qu's thoughts paused, pulling the topic back.

"This is even more to talk about." Uncle Su arranged five chicken bones, lined them up in parallel, and pointed to them one by one with the tip of his chopsticks, "Before the Great Shun was the Great Qian, and before the Great Qian was the Great Huang.

The disappearance of the Xiandao is extremely ancient, tracing back to the dynasty before the Great Huang, named the Great Li dynasty.

The Great Li Taizu set his sights on the Xiandao; to be precise, it wasn't the Xiandao, but the Xiao Xiao Shenlong itself that was refining the Xiandao as a mysterious weapon.

Seeking longevity, in his later years, he listened to the words of alchemists, intending to use the Xiao Xiao Shenlong's innate supernatural powers, the ability to spit mist and create dreams, to build a dream dynasty, so as to achieve eternal immortality.

This was not a fantasy. Grandmasters can leave behind lingering thoughts and obsessions after death; Martial Saints, and even those above Martial Saints, go without saying.

If the environment is suitable, it might really be possible to succeed, allowing the Great Li Taizu to achieve the feat of creating a pure land.

But to achieve such an incredible thing, it was obviously not something the Xiao Xiao Shenlong could do by putting in a little effort; even filling it with its life wouldn't be enough.

In short, various interests triggered it, and the two sides fought, breaking the Xiandao.

The Xiao Xiao Shenlong was dying, unwilling to perish just like that and let the Great Li Taizu succeed, so it united with the Mirage Clan Great Demons, using some unknown method to drag the broken Cloud Xiandao completely into the dream, turning reality into illusion.

Since then, we can no longer find the Cloud Xiandao, and many Mirage Clan members are the same.

Only when the heavenly tides rise and fall does the Cloud Xiandao appear for a moment, forming a heavenly wonder like a mirage, for people to observe, and it looks complete, which should be between reality and illusion, completed by the Xiao Xiao Shenlong."

Uncle Su was detailed and appropriate; Liang Qu knew the cause and effect and immediately understood why there were no Mirage Clan members in the Mirage Clan ancestral land.

It turned out that they couldn't find it themselves either!

It was reasonable to say.

If ordinary Mirage Clan members could find it, the Great Li Taizu would inevitably have found the dying Xiao Xiao Shenlong through this method and achieved his goal indirectly.

Ze Ding is awesome!

The 【Nether Water Disaster Poison】 that the snake demon didn't master, A-Wei ate a poison sac, and when evolving, it could dig out the characteristics within and refine it into a talent.

If an ordinary Mirage Clan member evolved, they probably wouldn't be able to dig out this 【Dream Butterfly】 talent at all!

Uncle Su threw the bones to Wulong and looked up: "Kid, you don't think about practicing properly all day, always pondering things you shouldn't; does the Cloud Xiandao have anything to do with you? Love listening to stories?"

Liang Qu grinned: "I have experienced the Cloud Xiandao in person and seen it lifelike; I am very curious."

Uncle Su shook his head, his gaze falling back into the boiling copper pot.

"This chicken is not bad; eat this again tomorrow."

"If Uncle likes it, eat it!"

Liang Qu accompanied Uncle Su to eat and drink for a while, then went back to his room to sleep.

Tomorrow was the June 6th River God Festival, and he had a lot to do, so he had to rest early.

The next morning.

Purple Qi came from the east, and the rooster announced the dawn.

The Dragon Maidens knocked lightly on the window, waking Liang Qu.

Liang Qu turned over and got up, opened the wardrobe, picked and chose, and selected a black long robe with red edges, looking slightly solemn.

Dressed, washed, and had the Dragon Maidens help tie his hair.

Liang Qu came to the pond side; the old toad sleeping on the round stone had disappeared, replaced by Wu Cangshou.

Both being treasure-seeking exotic species, the old turtle and the old toad were incompatible like water and fire, and couldn't pee in the same pot.

Especially since the vision incident.

In short, it was extremely difficult to see both of them in the pond.

"A-Shui, Master Liang, are you ready! Dawdling!"

Xiang Fang Su's loud voice pierced through the three-courtyard residence and reached Liang Qu's ears.

"Coming!"

Liang Qu tidied up and stepped out of the courtyard. ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
