Chapter 786
Immortal Beings
You see, the Da in Da Qinglong sounds like the da to mean hit, which is disrespectful to me. We have to respect our elders, right? explained Fiend King Qinglong, putting on the airs of a sage.
Pfft!
Fiend King Qinglong slapped Fiend King Baiyuan and Luanfeng again as punishment for mocking him.
Why should I respect you? asked the dragon vine.
Fiend King Qinglong chuckled dryly. I like your attitude. As the only true, exalted dragons, we should be above everyone else. Good attitude!
Just when Fiend King Qinglong thought he played the right card, the dragon vine scoffed, Exalted dragons wouldnt do what you do. At the very least, I would never sleep with those brain-dead fiend beasts to create bootleg dragons. Youre not an exalted dragon; youre an embarrassing dragon.
Fiend King Qinglong started to get fidgety and lowered his voice so that the other fiend kings would not laugh at him. You misunderstood me. I would never sleep with those ordinary fiend beasts. I believe my partner should be one of the strongest in the world. Therefore, technically speaking, those descendants of mine arent fiends I proactively created b-
How are there so many bootleg dragons if you didnt have a hand in it?
Ahem, ahem, well Its a long story, so lets skip over it, shall we?
Why is it such a long story?
Hahaha, in a nutshell, Brother Qinglong gave his tadpoles to other fiend beasts so that they could conceive on their own. He never took to the field, understand? enlightened Fiend King Baiyuan.
Xiaoshuai raised his hand. Let me! Let me explain! I remember seeing it in Ximen Buxings book. Tadpoles ar-
Mu Yu covered Xiaoshuais mouth.
I dont get it, responded the dragon vine vine.
It is not a suitable topic for children. Ahem, Xiao Qinglong, show me your body, demanded Fiend King Qinglong, starting to get touchy with the dragon vine.
Get your perverted hands off me! cursed the dragon vine.
Ahaha, ahaha Your bones are sturdy, and you have wood essence on you, which I assume comes from Mu Yus spiritual energy. Not bad. Dragon Vines are plants, so they do need wood essence for nourishment. You dont have anything on you holding you back, so youre clean slate. I can help expedite your growth. Follow me, and Ill teach you the proper cultivation method for true dragons. If you dont learn the correct method, you may never reach Ascension Realm even if given another hundred years.
I dont want to stay with you, blurted the dragon vine, sauntering back to Mu Yu. I prefer staying with Mu Yu and playing with Rodent.
Youre prone to danger if youre not strong enough to protect yourself!
Yet here I am, alive and kicking after all these years without you.
Fathoming Mu Yu was the only one who could pursue the dragon vine, Fiend King Qinglong dropped his ego and smiled cordially. Thank you for protect Xiao Qinglong all these years, Mu Yu. I heard you can neutralise ruins poison. I must admit I am impressed.
Every man has his expertise. I suppose youre aware of my ability already, Mu Yu bluntly answered.
I do. Youre a host to an elemental demon just as Qiao Xue is. Ive seen your incredible control of wood. I will thank you for saving my people.
What a phony. What happened to that nonsense from before? muttered the dragon vine.
Fiend King Qinglong pretended to not hear the dragon vine.
Mu Yu could tell what Fiend King Qinglong wanted, and he wa not going to dance to the latters tune. I heard you and your fellow fiend kings went to Eternally Forbidden Zone, so I want to ask if you obtained Midnight Sun Mystic Spirit.
I never expected you to know Eternally Forbidden Zone and Midnight Sun Mystic Spirit, exclaimed Fiend King Qinglong, surprised. For now, we have found a way to deal with Divine Executioners surveillance and circumvent the lunar races threat at Third Heaven for the meantime.
What do you mean a way to deal with Divine Executioners surveillance?
We just found out someone used a technique to block slip under Divine Executioners radar, answered Fiend King Baiyuan.
Catching Mu Yus anticipation, Fiend King Yujiang expanded, Its not Sword Shadow Dust Gale but Illusionary Clear Rain. Sword Shadow Dust Gale passed on the alternative option to Illusionary Clear Rain if this situation came to by. We only have a few years until the secret is out, nevertheless.
Dont worry. This world needs Sword Shadow Dust Gale, and hes not that fragile. Bai Jie will pay. His lack of foresight is evidence that hes not fit to lead. We wont let him go, voiced Fiend King Qinglong.
Thank you, Mu Yu expressed.
You saved two of my brothers, so I will help you. In saying that, I need a favour from you. This is important, important enough to determine whether or not Third Heaven can continue developing, stressed Fiend King Qinglong.
And that is?
I need you to find three immortals?
Arent you four immortal?
The fiend kings gave each other a nod, giving Fiend King Qinglong the green light to inform, As you and Qiao Xue are immortals, I wont hide this from you.
Before that. What is this about Qiao Xue and I being immortal?
Grandpa Qinglong, are you serious?
I thought one needed to have a perfect balance of the five elements in their body to achieve immortality, Mu Yu shared.
Humans and fiends certainly do need to meet that criterion. Element demons, on the other hand, are another story. Elemental demons only need to have one extreme. Did Sword Shadow Dust Gale ever tell you the five spirit lords are immortal? enlightened Fiend King Qinglong. If youre thinking about your fellow martial brothers Qiao Xue told me about, youre correct. I kept Qiao Xue under my protection at all times for she will need to shoulder the responsibility of being immortal in the future.
What duty is that?
Worlds require balance that many factors determine. Should multiple factors lose their balance, the world will crumble. Dark herbs life qi and death qi is one such example. I believe youre familiar with it already. As for Third Heaven, if there are less than nine immortals in Third Heaven, this worlds balance will crumble.
I know, at least, eighteen immortals here, then. Whats the big deal? inquired Mu Yu.
No. True immortals must have their five elements balanced and matched with this world. That is why you five only count as one immortal. Sword Shadow Dust Gale, Illusionary Clear Rain and Evil Shadow Eternally Youthful are not inhabitants of this world. Among the ten of us, only five of us belong to this realm. Baiyuan and another four are inhabitants of Second Heaven.
Being immortal isnt as great you might imagine it to be. Everything in the world is made up of five elements. Nine immortals or more must exist. There is an energy within us that we can neither see nor feel. That is the source that balances the five elements. Once one goes missing, the balance of the world collapses, and the result is similar to that of dark herb.
Say what? One slip and thats the end of the world? questioned the dragon vine.
Yes. Strictly speaking, our bodies with the perfect balance are but hosts for said energy. Once we pass away, the energy will find itself a new host.
As long as were alive, the world is safe irrespective of where we may be, elaborated Fiend King Baiyuan.
Immortals dont die and can survive catastrophes, but we will die to fatal injuries. Third Heaven has been short of nine immortals for the last few millenniums. Sword Shadow Dust Gale, Evil Shadow, Eternally Youthful and Illusionary Clear Rain came to this realm to delay its collapse, added Fiend King Qinglong.
If other immortals from other heavens can maintain this heaven, why cant the five fiend kings from this realm? Mu Yu inquired.
Fiend King Qinglong elucidated, The energy can recognise which world its host belongs to. Thats why the energy from this realm wont acknowledge immortals from other heaven. Sword Shadow Dust Gale can definitely bypass it. Have you not figured out how he does it?
