Chapter 128 Yang Qi, Storm
Opportunity? I was surprised… What did the Taoist know? The word “opportunity” hardly ever existed in my life, so it meant almost nothing to me.
At this time, the stupid tiger, filled with some unknown power, and the remnant soul of the true dragon, which had lost its consciousness, had already fought together. Although it was only a short few seconds, the stupid tiger did not fall behind.
“It seems that the power of the ancient soul that devoured part of the soul of the gourd eagle has caused the deepest part of the soul of the stupid tiger to resonate and awaken.” The Taoist boy sighed, then took the copper coin sword from his waist.
Then, through his consciousness, he made Shahu hold on for a few minutes… After that, he would unleash the true power of the copper coin sword.
Shatou responded. At this moment, I felt Shatou’s growth, and a maturity that had quickly manifested itself in Shatou… There was no longer the childish feeling of entering the cave, and he was still calling me Chengyi brother, but there was a different kind of calmness.
This made me feel both comforted and strange. I didn’t know what Dao Tongzi meant by the resonance and awakening of the soul.
At this time, Dao Tongzi suddenly inserted the copper coin sword in front of himself. I didn’t expect that the sharp edge of the copper coin could be inserted into the rock smoothly, but Dao Tongzi didn’t care about these details. He felt my inner thoughts and said in a somewhat indifferent voice, “You say you don’t seek opportunities, but in your heart, don’t you want this unconscious remnant of the true dragon? Because it has no consciousness, as long as you defeat it, you can forcibly recover it, and in this way, you will be more certain of ushering in the great battle that will open up the great era, won’t you?”
“I haven’t thought about it.” I didn’t know how to argue with Daotongzi, so I could only firmly tell him such an answer.
Even I myself was wondering why I had insisted on coming to this cave and then let me meet such a remnant of a true dragon without consciousness.
“You and I have come this far, using every means possible, and here we are… every single being here is something we cannot defeat no matter how profound our secret arts are. Up until now, the only thing we can rely on is this copper sword, but Chen Chengyi, even if you use this sword, it’s not necessarily going to go smoothly, so you should be prepared to die.” The Taoist’s tone had a hint of reproach in it, but more of a reminder.
“I’ve done my best.” I didn’t know what else to say.
At this moment, the Taoist priest had already begun to perform a complex set of hand gestures… For the first time, I felt him mobilize the soul power of his entire body. I felt his thoughts say to me, “I am performing a set of guiding hand gestures that can guide all the yang energy within a radius of one mile and apply it to this sword, which should have an effect. As a cultivator, you should know that this hand technique is against the will of heaven. After all, all things in the world, including the breath, exist there. You can accumulate it over time, which is considered to be earned through labor, but it is not something that can be taken by force. So I don’t know what kind of backlash there will be. You should also be mentally prepared. After all, I am just a will, and all I use is your accumulated soul power. It is a battle we fight together, and the backlash will also be on you and me.
I silently nodded. At this point, means and methods no longer mattered. All I could think of was to try my best and move forward… Where I would end up, was that still an important matter?
The Taoist monk was chanting, while Silly Tiger was still fighting the remnant spirit of the real dragon.
Even if it has some kind of opportunity in the mouth of the Taoist boy, it will not be a match for a real dragon… At first, it was able to maintain an even state, but as time passed, the tiger became more and more embarrassed… It was only better than the battle with the gourd eagle in the second cave.
But the difference is that this time, the battle doesn’t need to last long. Although I am in a state of suppression, the shackles have loosened. I can feel how fast the Taoist monk’s hand movements are, and I feel a burden and pain in my fingers that I have never felt before.
If I could watch myself… I should be able to see the afterimage of the fingers, faster than I ever did when I was a little demon in the Great War.
What’s more, I could tell that the set of hand gestures was about to be completed… Even if the effect was not earth-shattering, as the Taoist boy said, this hand gesture was against the heavens!
And yet, it was precisely because Dao Tongzi had learned it that he and I had encountered such a strange sword… and then entered this cave… I was increasingly impressed that fate was like the best screenwriter, and before I could finish my thoughts, Dao Tongzi had already completed the last hand gesture of this spell. After reciting a spell… the space in front of us, which had been absolutely quiet, was suddenly filled with the sound of gentle water dripping.
A ray of yang energy was drawn from the copper coin sword.
Just like a drop of water falling, absolute silence was broken, and then the sky and earth changed color, the wind rose, the clouds surged, and the waves rose up like a huge wave… At first, this copper coin sword was just a ray of yang energy being extracted… But in the next moment, suddenly a hot wind surged in the cave, and that was the sound of the violent yang energy surging out of the copper coin sword.
At that moment… I could hear the cries of thousands of people, their footsteps coming in a rush, shaking the ground and mountains… This is the illusionary effect of the popularity, the pure human yang energy.
This is not the first time it has appeared on the copper sword, but none of them have been as intense as this time… The appearance of yang has already caused a scorching storm, but it is far from stopping, and a large amount of yang is constantly gushing out… constantly gathering in the sky.
A whirlwind like a tornado has already begun to form in the sky, and this is the yang energy contained in the copper coin sword!
This time, not only was I dumbfounded, but even the Taoist acolyte was filled with a sense of intense surprise. Due to the loosening of the shackles, I could sense what he was thinking, and it was a sentence: In this world, there is actually such a magical weapon?
But because of the fear of being bitten back, the Taoist boy did not think much about it, but instead forcibly summoned the tiger back into the depths of our soul the next moment, and then began to pinch the hand movements, trying to control this Yang energy.
At the moment when Shatu returned, I suddenly understood what Daotongzi meant by the resonance and awakening of the soul of Shatu… It was the awakening of the ‘bloodline’ left by the ancient four-element white tiger. This bloodline does not necessarily refer to the bloodline of the physical body. Practitioners of Taoism understand that the power of this ‘bloodline’ also involves the soul, and the soul also has the power of the soul’s bloodline.
Saha Tiger actually has the bloodline of the White Tiger hidden in his body? In the next moment, I understood… all great demons contain the ancient, distant bloodline… As such an outstanding tiger demon, Saha Tiger would never have reached such a level without the bloodline of the Four-Element White Tiger.
In other words, Silly Tiger has truly begun to “wake up.” After following me for more than 30 years, surviving many times… it has instead received countless opportunities to truly begin to “wake up.”
The Taoist monk felt sorry for the tiger, and now that he had this opportunity, he made up his mind to help the tiger, and no longer wanted to use it as a “flag” in front of him.
This thought is a long story, but in the world of thought transmission, it is only a matter of moments.
I understand that this is something that Daotongzi deliberately wanted me to know. Otherwise, I… would never have been able to know so much information… I didn’t expect that under these circumstances, Shahu would still be able to grow in this way. I am sincerely happy for Shahu.
No wonder it was able to fight the remnant spirit of the true dragon.
But Shatuo suddenly felt a sense of anxiety and worry from the depths of my soul. It was suddenly forcibly recalled, and it was worried about me… whether I could handle the remnant spirit of the true dragon. At the same time, Shatuo also sensed a little bit of doubt in my heart.
At this point, Shatu felt that I was already the familiar me.
The dragon, which had lost consciousness, was extremely irritable at this time. Our appearance undoubtedly greatly provoked it, and it probably needed a battle to vent its anger… But when the battle was at its most intense, the opponent suddenly disappeared. How could it not be irritable?
Although it had lost consciousness, it could feel that a large amount of yang energy had suddenly gathered somewhere in the cave… This kind of energy made it very uncomfortable as a spirit, and it also discovered that the source of this yang energy was me, sitting behind the copper coin sword!
