Chapter 803

After the meeting at the Hall of Returning to One in Xianyang Palace.

Su Xuan returned to the Yin-Yang School.

Initially, he went to Shushan to seize the Fusang Divine Tree and prepare to reason with the people of Shushan. However, he did not expect that Donghuang Taiyi was lurking in Shushan. He rashly broke into the forbidden area of Shushan, the Yuyuan, and subsequently opened the seal of the Yuyuan, causing Did Chi You to break free and causing a massive catastrophe. Thus, Su Xuan's purpose also underwent some changes.

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

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

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

And 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 doze off.

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, mentioning the passage of time was 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 Jianmu wood; in terms of prestige, it was completely maxed out.

On the trip to Loulan, he first obtained two wisps of dragon energy, and later, he obtained a Did 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 Loulan to Seeing 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 energy.

He was no stranger to dragon energy. Years ago, he had obtained a wisp from the Chu State's supreme treasure, the Suihou Pearl. It was also because he used the Nine Breaths Qi-Swallowing Method to comprehend that wisp of dragon energy that he realized the Dao of dynastic destiny and created the *Huangji Jingshi Shu*, which he then taught to Seeing Ying Zheng. But that wisp of dragon energy was far too thin, and beyond that, it did not reveal any more profound mysteries.

Su Xuan even speculated that part of the reason he realized the Dao of dynastic destiny from it was because the Suihou Pearl was a supreme treasure of the Chu State, served by generations of Chu, and naturally became tainted with the destiny of the Chu State.

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

This time, while refining the two wisps of dragon energy left behind by the Dragon God at the entrance of Loulan, Su Xuan suddenly had new insights.

The reason for this was that these two wisps of dragon energy were far too vast. Perhaps they weren't very strong when the Dragon God first left them, but they were located at the spirit eye of the earth vein, nourished by the earth vein of all of Loulan. Over time, they became incomparably powerful. Compared to the weak wisp of dragon energy rooted in the Suihou Pearl, these two wisps 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 already the appearance of fish that had leaped over the Dragon Gate.

Taking out the two wisps of dragon energy 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-Swallowing Technique.

Dragon energy is the power left behind by a true dragon, containing the will of the true dragon. Through the Nine Breaths Qi-Swallowing 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 managed to extract some methods from it by relying on the Nine Breaths Qi-Swallowing Method.

The first was "Spirit Awakening"!

Spirit Awakening is the ability to enlighten things without intelligence; this was one of the methods of the ancient Dragon God.

Before he left, he left behind a force to guard Loulan. Because of this ability of his, the earth vein of Loulan "came alive," and many spiritual energies relied on ignorant intelligence to turn into withered fish, swimming in the sea of sand, while the more intelligent sand snakes guarded Loulan day and night, preventing any strangers from breaking in.

After Su Xuan obtained this method, the first thing he thought of was a tree.

The tree was named "Fusang"!

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

After the chaos of Did 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 yet 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 Huang Shi 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 had been continuously absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, so it was not strange that it would be born with some intelligence.

Now that he had obtained the Spirit Awakening Method, what Su Xuan was thinking was 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 take human form.

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

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

The second method was—"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 energy.

It was a pity that this method was 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 water vapor exists in the air. If this condition cannot be met, it is impossible to create water out of thin air.

However, if one's strength is sufficient, one can gather all the water vapor within a radius of a thousand miles to achieve it in one place.

"So, this is the origin of 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 Loulan's water source never run dry. But the price was that the oasis originally surrounding Loulan gradually degraded and evolved into a vast desert..."
