Chapter 789


    <strong><em>Celestial Preservation and Nine Heavens Reverse Development </em></strong>


    I cant force Dragon Vine against his will. Whether he wants to stay or leave is up to him, Mu Yu stressed.


    I dont like this ce, expressed the dragon vine.


    The wood element on Mu Yu may be soothing, but you dont understand your significance. All your potential will go to waste if you dont learn to harness it, exined Fiend King Qinglong.


    I get ticked off just seeing bootleg dragons.


    Do you know how I evolved to attain a perfectly bnced five-elements body? We are the most venerated and rare beings. Though we begin as nts, I no longer possessed a wood element body. You need to undergo the same evolution.


    <em>You can change your body type now?</em> Mu Yu inwardly asked, verifying for himself that Fiend King Qinglongs qi differedpared to his dragon vines. Initially, Mu Yu presumed Fiend King Qinglong was hiding his aura.


    Are you implying that I can also attain immortality? questioned the dragon vine.


    That isnt necessarily true. That is entirely up to fate. Thanks to abination of factors aligning for me when I evolved, I attained a body where the five elements are perfectly bnced. That being said, Im 40% confident I can guide you to attain an immortal body, answered Fiend King Qinglong.


    Still dont want to stay.


    Mu Yu, could you please put in a word. Without my assistance, he might not be able toplete the evolution process.


    What makes you think you could do it on your own, yet I cant? snapped the dragon vine.


    After thorough deliberation, Mu Yu conveyed, Dragon Vine, itll be better for you to stay here and cultivate because he knows how to expedite your process, while I dont.


    Your people want my blood. You expect me to sleep with my eyes open? Theres no way youre convincing me those four are the only four who want to harm me, opined the dragon vine.


    Mu Yu gave Fiend King Qinglong a palm-fist salute. Ever since fiends found out about Dragon Vines identity, its been one attempt after another. You need to convince me that I can trust you.


    I can guarantee nobody will dare toy their hands on Xiao Qinglong in my kingdom.


    A promise is only as good as the actions to keep it. Jade Wyrm andpany demonstrated that fiends are willing to sacrifice an entire valleys citizens for Dragon Vines blood. They mayply on the surface, but whats to say they wont harm him when youve turned your back. Furthermore, how can I trust you to care for Dragon Vine if someone does manage to steal his blood and rece him as a mightier true dragon? Mu Yu questioned.


    I wont let that happen. I will hold Xiao Qinglong in higher regard. I wont let him leave my sights until he has reached Ascension Realm.


    The hell? That sounds like jail, grouched the dragon vine.


    Thats the best oue we can ask for. Instead of whining, focus on ascending to Ascension Realm as fast as you can, and you will regain your freedom, Mu Yu preached.


    Dont worry, Big Earthworm. Right now, hes a king treating you as his king. If he gets on your nerves, pluck a few strands of his beard. Besides, youll have a chance to teach the bootleg dragons a lesson, wont you?


    Mm All right. Let me see if I can pluck his beard.


    Once the dragon vine sauntered up to Fiend King Qinglong, thetter smiled hopelessly and plucked a strand of beard even though the others might haveughed at him, indicating just how important the dragon vine was. Frankly, if persuasion did not work, he nned to forcibly keep the dragon vine.


    Fiend King Qinglong scrubbed the dragon vines head and promised, Youre still young, so Ill be sure to keep you out of harms way. Mu Yu, you must find thest immortal before Third Heaven Pce can.


    Theyre also after the immortals? Besides Bai Jie, who else covets immortality? Mu Yu queried.


    As he groomed his beard, Fiend King Qinglong replied, The energy I mentioned early that is responsible for maintaining the worlds bnce found in hosts is called Celestial Preservation. There is no other energy in the world that can overpower it if you can control it.


    <em>In other words, I can use it to usurp Third Heaven Pces tyrannical rule!</em> Mu Yu effused in his mind.


    Reading Mu Yus mind, Fiend King Qinglong continued, Because of its potency, we can host it, but we cant control it. Ascend to Apotheosis Realm, and you will be able grasp the rules of nature, thereby detecting its presence within your immortal body.


    You said  if you can control it, though.


    Fiend King Qinglong leisurely had a sip of tea, then elucidated, As an individual, its impossible. As nine immortals, there is a way. Sword Shadow Dust Gale told me of a formation called Nine Heavens Reverse Development, which requires the nine immortals to be used as its formation foundation. Thats the formation you need to control celestial preservation energy.


    Fiend King Qinglong had to hit pause to pick up the dragon vine for thetter and Xiaoshuai kept messing with his beard. He then resumed, expanding, Third Heaven Pce has had plenty of time to build their influence and power from the time of their inception; theyve been around longer than Ive been alive, after all. I wouldnt dare to im I could storm Third Heaven Pce without dying. The only way tobat them is to find this realms nine immortals and use celestial preservation energy. At least, thats the only solution I can fathom.


    Does Bai Jie know about it?


    Only immortals are aware of celestial preservation energy, so he wouldnt be privy to its existence. If, nheless, he has taken over your shifus body, he will know about it. Either way, as long as you can locate all nine immortals before it dawns on him that celestial preservation energy can threaten Third Heaven Pce, then well be fine.


    Reverend Nilei and Nian Henxi would be cognisant of these facts. We will strive to locate Tian Kuns whereabouts as soon as possible. In the meantime, you need to find the ninth immortal and pass on the knowledge to them in addition to your three martial brothers. Whether or not Third Heaven Pces conspiracy can be stopped rides on you now. Liked it? Take a second to support Wu Jizun on Patreon!
