Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

"Save, save, save! Save my ass! I’m telling you! Fate is predestined! If you save this one, you can’t worry about the other one!

You see, you saved her, now you can’t form the elixir! Without the elixir, you can’t slay the dragon! Without slaying the dragon, everyone else will be doomed!

Save my ass! Half of your fate has been divided for her! Can you withstand this catastrophe if you don’t run away?"

Chan Zi held his neck high,

"I can withstand it! I can do it! Fatty! I know you surely have a way! What’s a dragon anyway! Let’s slay it together!"

"Didn’t you hear me?! Without the elixir, you can’t slay a damn thing!"

Li Yuanzhao was dumbstruck,

"Slay the dragon? You mean the one in the lake? Lord Yun Meng? You must be joking..."

Yang Yuanzhao used the military flag as a cane to stand up,

"No, it’s really the Cloud Dream Dragon King. Huh? Huan Sheng, where did you pick this up from?"

Huan Sheng lifted the little golden dragon pretending to be dead,

"Ababa!"

Yang Yuanzhao,

"Oh, by the lake... Wait, what do you mean it came looking for me?"

"Ah, ah, ah, shut up, shut up! All of you, shut up! Let me have some peace and quiet!"

In the chaotic clamor, Chen Xuantian felt like his head was about to explode, when suddenly he saw someone waving at him from the reeds,

"I’ve got a solution! Don’t follow me!"

So Chen Xuantian dashed out of the duck’s nest, slid into the reeds on his knees,

"Brother~ Help! I’m out of options!"

Triangular Eyes coughed from within the grass,

"Cough, cough, we don’t have any solutions either."

Looking down, Chen Xuantian saw there were no shadows beneath their feet, realizing these two were in the state of Primordial Spirit Emergence, flown over to watch the show, their true forms miles away. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, not to mention the old dragon is skilled at summoning lightning, he couldn’t rely on them for this calamity, so he immediately jumped up,

"Damn! No solutions and you came over just to mess with me! Get lost!"

Golden Fish Head chuckled,

"But we do know another way."

Chen Xuantian immediately slid back to his knees,

"My apologies for speaking loudly earlier, brother, please don’t hold it against me. Speak quickly, don’t hold back!"

Triangular Eyes and Golden Fish Head didn’t bother with him, exchanged a glance, spoke in turn,

"This calamity is so dangerous, young friend, reaching this point is no easy feat."

"Having seen your calculations fail like this, we cannot help but feel unwilling."

"Besides, there are many days ahead, with your knack for handling things, it’s such a waste if you were to perish."

"So we have deliberated, and want to introduce you to a scripture."

Then the two each took out half a book from their robes, pieced them together, and opened it in front of Chen Xuantian.

"This is..."

Chen Xuantian was stunned for a moment because the book was devoid of any text. No, it seemed there was text, but when looked directly, it couldn’t be seen; one had to use peripheral vision to glimpse it.

Indeed, with peripheral vision sweeping across, some talisman seals appeared on the book, just a few disjointed yellow lines—curved, broken—as if living worms avoiding each other, twisted, creating a non-geometric, sickly symmetry.

That yellow hue was also oddly peculiar, not resplendent gold, nor the earthy tone of soil, more like the dim pages of a book, the decayed concentrate, a sticky stain cast on the page.

As one focused sight, stayed on the page a bit too long, the structure of the markings began to collapse, lines no longer connected, with only empty white paper remaining, leaving nothing imprinted on the retina.

When trying to recall what existed in those blank spaces, even with Chen Xuantian’s good memory and exceptional comprehension, retaining everything upon viewing, he still couldn’t accurately recall the yellow seal seen in that mere glimpse.

Every time he’d carefully think back, always felt a stroke too many somewhere, a piece missing elsewhere, until he couldn’t discern the original form, resulting in dizziness and even nausea.

Seeing his condition, it was evident he could perceive them, and indeed, the two exchanged a knowing glance.

Triangular Eyes smiled,

"Has younger brother heard of my master’s name, Nanhua Immortal?"

Golden Fish Head chuckled,

"This here is the World Honored One’s creation, the Scripture of Peace."
