Chapter 496

After the meeting at the Hall of Returning to One in Xianyanggong.

Su Xuan returned to the Yin-Yang School.

Initially, he went to Shushan to seize the Fusang Divine Tree and intended to reason with the people of Shushan. However, he did not expect that the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was lurking in Shushan. He rashly broke into the forbidden Yuyuan of Shushan, subsequently opening the seal of Yuyuan, which allowed Chi You to escape and caused a massive catastrophe. Thus, Su Xuan's purpose also underwent some changes.

It changed from seizing the Fusang Divine Tree to stopping Chi You.

Now, after being delayed in Shushan for a while and then going to Many Loulan, by the time the chaos of Chi You was quelled, half a year had passed without him realizing it.

Even Su Xuan had to sigh that time flows like water.

This was only half a year. If one day he truly became a so-called long-lived species, time would likely become increasingly worthless to him.

For a long-lived species, a mortal life is nothing more than the time it takes to take a nap.

The main reason Su Xuan felt time passed quickly right now was that he hadn't lived long enough yet. If he lived long enough, he wouldn't have such sentiments.

Of course, saying time passes is just a sigh.

Compared to the gains this time, Su Xuan felt it was still very worth it.

First, at the peak of Shushan, he gained a skeleton, which he refined into a set of flying swords, and he also had a sword box made of building wood; in terms of prestige, it was completely maxed out.

On the trip to Many Loulan, he first obtained two wisps of dragon qi, and later, he obtained a Chi You sword. Of course, for Su Xuan, the most important thing was that when the Pixiu ascended, it briefly opened a passage to another world, and he took the opportunity to absorb a large amount of immortal spiritual energy.

After reporting his experiences in Many Loulan to Ying Zheng, it could be considered as reporting his work. Next, it was time to digest the gains.

Su Xuan first began to refine the dragon qi.

He was no stranger to dragon qi. Years ago, he had obtained a wisp from the Chu State treasure, the Suihou Pearl. It was also because he used the Nine Breaths Qi-Cultivation Method to comprehend that wisp of dragon qi that he realized the Dao of Dynasty Fortune, created the "Imperial Sutra of World Governance," and taught this method to Ying Zheng. But that wisp of dragon qi was too thin, and beyond that, it didn't show more profound mysteries.

Su Xuan even speculated that part of the reason he realized the Dao of Dynasty Fortune from it was because the Suihou Pearl was a treasure of the Chu State, served by generations of Chu, and naturally became stained with the fortune of the Chu State.

After all, when mentioning the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn period, most people think of them as coming from the Chu State.

This time, when refining the two wisps of dragon qi left by the Dragon God at the entrance of Many Loulan, Su Xuan suddenly had new insights.

The reason for this was that these two wisps of dragon qi were too massive. Perhaps they weren't strong when the Dragon God first left them, but they were in the spirit eye of the earth vein, nourished by the earth veins of all of Many Loulan. Over time, they became incredibly powerful. Compared to the weak wisp of dragon qi rooted in the Suihou Pearl, these two wisps of dragon qi had turned into giant snakes, once evolving toward the form of a dragon.

If those withered fish were just the initial form, then the giant snakes were the appearance after the fish leaped over the dragon gate.

Taking out the two wisps of dragon qi sealed in his body, Su Xuan used his powerful magic power to temporarily suppress them, then carefully digested them. At the same time, he operated the Nine Breaths Qi-Cultivation Technique.

Dragon qi is the power left by a true dragon, containing the will of the true dragon. Through the Nine Breaths Qi-Cultivation Method, Su Xuan obtained a lot of information in the process. It was about the essence of the true dragon's power and the techniques it mastered.

Some fragmented and obscure information appeared in Su Xuan's mind.

Although most of it was useless garbage information, Su Xuan still extracted some methods from it using the Nine Breaths Qi-Cultivation Method.

The first is "Spirit Awakening"!

Spirit Awakening is the ability to enlighten objects without intelligence; this was one of the Dragon God's methods in the ancient era.

Before he left, he left behind a force to guard Many Loulan. Because of this ability, the earth veins of Many Loulan "came alive," and much spiritual energy, relying on ignorant intelligence, turned into withered fish, swimming in the sea of sand, while the more intelligent sand snakes guarded Many Loulan day and night, preventing any strangers from breaking in.

After obtaining this method, Su Xuan first thought of a tree.

The tree is named "Fusang"!

"Perhaps, I can use this method to enlighten the Fusang Divine Tree!"

After the chaos of Chi You was quelled, according to the initial deal, the Fusang Divine Tree belonged to Su Xuan.

It was just that because the Mirage had not been built yet and it was not time to go to sea, Su Xuan was not in a hurry to take the Fusang Divine Tree.

Back at the peak of Shushan, when Su Xuan communicated with the Fusang Divine Tree through the power of the Huangshi Heavenly Book, he felt the weak intelligence of the Fusang Divine Tree. After all, it was an old tree that had existed for thousands of years, and it constantly absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, so it was not strange that it would be born with some intelligence.

Now, having obtained the Spirit Awakening method, Su Xuan was thinking about whether he could use this technique to make the intelligence of the Fusang Divine Tree stronger.

If the Fusang Divine Tree could possess human-like intelligence and then embark on the path of cultivation, one day, it might not be impossible for it to transform.

With its foundation, if Su Xuan cultivated it properly, the Fusang Divine Tree might be able to transform and become a capable assistant for Su Xuan.

After keeping this matter in mind, Su Xuan looked at the second method.

The second method is—"Cloud-Walking and Rain-Making!"

A dragon can be large or small, can rise or hide, can swallow mountains and rivers, and can walk on clouds and make rain.

Therefore, Su Xuan was not surprised to deduce this method from the dragon qi.

It is a pity that this method is a bit of a chicken rib to him.

Because according to this method, if one wants to walk on clouds and make rain, one must first satisfy the condition that there is water vapor in the air. If this condition cannot be met, it is impossible to create water out of thin air.

However, if one has enough strength, one can gather all the water vapor within a radius of a thousand miles to achieve a result in one place.

"So, this is the origin of Many Loulan's water source?"

"The Dragon Soul is essentially an immortal technique for cloud-walking and rain-making. Because of this immortal technique, the Dragon Soul gathered all the water vapor within a thousand miles, making Many Loulan's water source never-ending. But the price was that the original oasis around Many Loulan gradually degraded and then evolved into a vast desert..."
