Chapter 280 - 247: The Scheme to Annihilate the Projection Comes to Naught
The battle between the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch and the three projections resulted in the leakage of the dragon Qi from the ancestral dragon vein of the Kunlun Mountains, a key event that could lead to the decline of the fortune of the Southern Toad Continent!
The Southern Toad Continent is the land among the Four Great Continents with the most abundant fortunes. Dongsheng Immortal State has many mountains and rivers peppered with sparsely scattered nations; Uttara Kuru Kingdom is a vast desert mainly inhabited by those from the Demon Path and barbarians; West Cow He State has chaotic fortunes and numerous small countries, making it difficult to unite under a single rule; only the Southern Toad Continent is where the national destiny resides, protected by fortunes, and from ancient times it has produced outstanding figures, with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all starting here.
The Kunlun Mountains are the progenitor of all dragon veins in the world, and the entire fortune of the Southern Toad Continent lies in the Kunlun Mountains. In previous years, when Daoist Equal to Heaven and others engaged in magic combat in Luoyang, it was possible to disturb the dragon vein of Luoyang, but this Kunlun dragon vein, even Saints would find it difficult to shake! Even when Gonggong angrily struck Mount Buzhou, he could not cause the leakage of dragon Qi from the Kunlun Mountains.
However, the battle between the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch and these three projections damaged the dragon vein and caused the dragon Qi to leak out, leaving people no choice but to look up to the heavens and sigh at the unpredictability of fate!
Laozi and Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch arrived in time, while the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch went after the escaping dragon Qi.
As soon as the dragon Qi leaked, it headed towards Uttara Kuru Kingdom. No matter how much could be recaptured, it was feared that the national destiny of the Eastern Land would no longer be stable afterward! Just as the fortune of the Shennong Clan was stolen by Flying Liann, causing the Five Barbarians to plunge the Central Plains into disarray and nearly leading to its destruction, what more of this Ancestral Dragon’s dragon Qi? In time, the Central Plains would inevitably become the target of foreign tribes, facing invasion.
The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch chased madly, using his Divine Skills to collect a considerable amount of dragon Qi, but still, much of it leaked into various places in Uttara Kuru Kingdom.
Uttara Kuru Kingdom, adjacent to the Southern Toad Continent, is a vast grassland home to many nomadic tribes; the Five Barbarians originally came from this place! Those not of our kind will surely have different hearts. If these nomadic tribes obtained the dragon Qi, they would surely covet the national destiny artifact, and with the protection of the dragon Qi, they could contend for the national destiny of the Southern Toad Continent.
"Come back to me!" shouted the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch softly and sent out the Great Year Whip, pulling out a large mass of dragon Qi from the ground and storing it in a gourd to be returned later to the dragon vein of the Kunlun Mountains to maintain the stability of the dynastic national destiny of the Southern Toad Continent.
After leaving the dragon vein, the dragon Qi dissipates if it goes underground. The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch only managed to capture some of the dragon Qi, as most of it was already leaked to various places in Uttara Kuru Kingdom. In time, it would naturally form new dragon veins, and the nomadic tribes of Uttara Kuru Kingdom would then have the power to contend for the Central Plains!
The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch harbored secret resentment, thinking, "The Kunlun is the progenitor of dragon veins; even when Gonggong shattered the mountain, no dragon Qi leaked! My battle with these three projections might have been grand in scale, but the spells weren’t even aimed at the mountain, hardly comparable to Gonggong’s blow, yet this dragon vein still had problems! Such is fate! It infuriates me!"
