Chapter 359

【You combined the Nine Yin Manual, the Xiaoyao Scripture, and the profound discussions on "The Dao follows Nature" and "Unity of Heaven and Man" within the Quanzhen Sect's Daoist Canon...】

【You realized that so-called divine abilities are merely the leveraging and application of one's own power upon the laws of heaven and earth...】

【With your dragon pearl, which has already reached the Third Transformation Realm, as the core, with your vast and boundless demonic power as the guide, and with your perfect human form as the vessel...】

【From the supreme divine ability 【True Dragon Suppresses the Heavenly Gate】 you comprehended earlier, capable of suppressing the Heavenly Gate, you comprehended something again, simplifying and refining it...】

【You successfully created a supreme sword technique truly suitable for your human form to wield, capable of drawing forth a trace of the power of the laws, with infinite might—True Dragon Sword!】

【From your incredibly powerful dragon body and the dragon pearl containing endless power, you comprehended the source of power and the method of its eruption...】

【You successfully created a supreme fist technique capable of perfectly combining your demonic power and physical strength; with a single punch, it is enough to collapse mountains and crack stones, shattering the void—True Dragon Fist!】

True Dragon Sword!

True Dragon Fist!

These two martial arts, though bearing simple names, contain the highest manifestation of Ning Chuan's current martial cultivation base!

They are supreme killing moves truly suitable for his perfect human form to wield, capable of suppressing everything!

Ning Chuan felt immense joy in his heart.

He felt that his current strength was even greater than before, and his application of power had become even more effortless.

Just then.

A sound of clear, cold footsteps came from outside the pavilion.

There, Xu Weixiong, dressed in a white combat suit with a temperament as sharp as a drawn sword, walked in slowly.

She bowed respectfully to Ning Chuan and said:

"Reporting to Master, the remaining forces of Northern Liang have been completely gathered by this subordinate."

"Among them, all who stubbornly resisted and refused to submit have been... dealt with cleanly."

Her voice, though still cold, carried a hint of unyielding decisiveness and ruthlessness.

Clearly, this former Second Princess of Northern Liang, after experiencing the great calamity of her family's destruction, had grown thoroughly, no longer being the talented woman who only knew how to talk on paper.

Ning Chuan looked at this peerless young girl before him, whose face was clear and beautiful but whose brows carried a heroic air and a spirit of slaughter, and nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Weixiong's ability and state of mind were indeed excellent, sufficient to control this vast land of Northern Liang for him.

Immediately, he ordered: "Very good."

"Next, in my name, send messages to Duan Yu of the Dali Kingdom, Li Qiushui of the Western Xia Imperial Palace, Dai Dai Qisi of the Bosiming Sect, Xiao Xiao Yuanshan of the Swallow Dock in Jiangnan, and Zhao Min, who is in the Mongol Yuan capital."

"Have them each dispatch trusted subordinates to come to Mount Qingliang in Northern Liang to rendezvous with you."

"I have some matters that need to be entrusted to them."

Ning Chuan did not intend to hand over this land of Northern Liang to the so-called Liyang Royal Family.

Such a huge piece of fat, now in his mouth, how could there be any reason to spit it out again?

He intended to forge this place into his most solid and most important... terrestrial divine kingdom in this world!

To provide a continuous flow of resources and assistance for his future path of demonic cultivation!

Upon hearing this, Xu Weixiong was startled once again in her heart!

She never expected that her mysterious and unfathomable Island Lord had, unknowingly, already extended his tentacles into every corner of the world!

Dali, Western Xia, Ming Sect, Mongol Yuan...

These forces had actually... actually all been secretly controlled by him?!

Her awe for Ning Chuan in her heart reached an unprecedented peak once again!

She quickly nodded respectfully and replied: "Yes! This subordinate obeys!"

Then, as if remembering something, she continued:

"By the way, Master, there is one more matter."

"A few days ago, the envoys from the Liyang Imperial Capital arrived at the foot of Mount Qingliang."

"They said they came by the decree of the Liyang Emperor Zhao Dun to confer upon you, the Island Lord, the title of 'Zixiao Long Wang' and to designate the three regions of Northern Liang, Huangzhou, and Youzhou entirely as your fiefdom."

"What do you think... should we meet them?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan merely sneered disdainfully.

Zixiao Long Wang? Three provinces?

This young emperor of Liyang has indeed made a very good calculation.

Wanting to exchange an empty title and two barren lands for him, the Dragon Lord of the East Sea, to block the Northern Mang cavalry about to march south for him?

It is simply a pipe dream!

However, Ning Chuan was not in a hurry to refuse.

Having such a title conferred by the Liyang Dynasty would indeed save him much trouble, allowing him to rule this land with legitimate authority.

But he did not intend to meet those envoys so easily.

"Let them... wait at the foot of the mountain," Ning Chuan said indifferently. "When I am in a good mood, perhaps I will consider meeting them."

He wanted to let these Liyang envoys cool off properly, to let them know who is the true master of this land!

Suddenly, he remembered the Northern Liang Eldest Princess—Xu Zhihu—who had been brought back to Taohuadao with him earlier, whose cultivation base had been sealed, and who had been thrown into the internal space of the Water and Fire Spirit Pearls.

He waved his hand.

There, a red figure appeared out of thin air inside the Tingchao Pavilion.

It was Xu Zhihu, wearing a fiery red long dress, with a beautiful face and a temperament as fierce as fire.

At this moment, although her cultivation base was sealed, her beautiful eyes were still filled with endless hatred and unyieldingness, staring fiercely at Ning Chuan.

Ning Chuan looked at these two peerless sisters before him, whose faces were different but whose temperaments each had their own unique charm.

One was cold as ice, like a white lotus atop a snow mountain, only to be admired from afar and not profaned.

One was fierce as fire, like a thorny flame rose, full of deadly temptation.

Brother Ning Chuan nodded in satisfaction, a spark of fervor rising in his heart.

It seemed there would be plenty to keep him busy tonight.
