Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 417 - 114: Dragon Emperor of Destiny
"Absurd!"
"Absurd!"
"This Demon Court Saint Child really thinks the Ancient Country can’t do anything to him!"
Prince Gu’s face showed irritation.
This Lin Jing leading the Beast Taming Sect to ally with the Demon Court was no concern, after all, it was the Ancient Country that failed to protect his Longevity Body and its policies excluded the Beast Taming Sect.
But now, with Lin Jing relying on the Demon Court, he thought he had the ability to wreak havoc in the Ancient Country, which was unacceptable to Prince Gu.
First, there were disrespectful words to the Second, and now he was audaciously using the name of the First Ancient Emperor, trying to forcibly seize the Dragon Vein of the Demon Extermination Bureau...
"Director Gai, what did you just suggest?"
Even if Director Gai suggested capturing this Demon Court Saint Child on the spot, he would agree; otherwise, the Saint Child really would treat the Ancient Country as his own backyard, doing whatever he pleased.
"I... I..."
Facing Prince Gu’s inquiry, Director Gai fell silent.
He looked shocked, mouth agape, staring at Lin Jing holding a turtle.
"With one summoning experience, the second summoning was much easier, the imprint was already in the Divine Spirit Book." After the Mechanical Turtle was in place, borrowing the power of the Dragon Vein from the Demon Extermination Bureau, Lin Jing had it summon the First Ancient Emperor again.
As the figure from memory appeared before him, Director Gai was utterly dazed.
This person, when he was young, following his ancestor, he had seen from afar once.
"Ancient..." he instinctively opened his mouth, while beside him, Director Liu and Gao Sheng were also wide-eyed, scarcely believing what was happening in front of them.
The First Ancient Emperor?!
"Wait, wait a moment!"
Director Gai realized the First Ancient Emperor before him was only at the early stage of Divinity Transformation, and looked quite different from a living person.
Fake!
In an instant, he understood, this Demon Court Saint Child must be using some heretical Illusion Technique to tarnish the image of the First Ancient Emperor.
He was furious and simultaneously sneered inwardly; associating with this Saint Child, the Gao Family and the Child Immortal behind them would definitely never rise again.
To be promoted from the Demon Extermination Bureau, the position of Director was certainly his, as long as he handled this incident well!
"Alas...?" At this moment, the First Ancient Emperor awoke again, looked at the surroundings and sighed.
What happened, how did this unlucky fellow Gao Sheng get caught by the Demon Extermination Bureau again.
"Master!!!" Seeing the First Ancient Emperor, Gao Sheng, even more emotionally than seeing his grandfather, cried out: "Save me, I just wanted to gather a few more Dragon Veins to bring you back to life, and ended up being caught by the Demon Extermination Bureau."
"This Sect Management Office is really something, people from Martial Emperor City smuggle the Dragon Veins, and nothing happens, I merely wanted a few Dragon Veins for legitimate reasons, and they immediately reported to Director Gai of the Demon Extermination Bureau. What kind of justice is this..."
"Internal strife is severe, and they even like to collude with external forces, this back and forth, how can the Ancient Country thrive."
Lin Jing hadn’t realized Gao Sheng was so articulate, and the First Ancient Emperor was equally incensed upon hearing this.
He knew about the Sect Management Office’s smuggling of Dragon Veins; the Feng Family’s ancestor had personally said it.
Now that Gao Sheng brought it up again, the First Ancient Emperor was vexed once more; he knew no organization is without its corruption, but this Sect Management Office was truly atrocious.
If it was illegal trade of Dragon Veins within the Ancient Country, the situation wouldn’t be as severe, since the Dragon Veins, no matter who uses them, would ultimately strengthen some faction of the Ancient Country, but exporting the Dragon Veins out of the country, the ones responsible at the Sect Management Office, were indeed deserving of death.
"You have a good relationship with the Sect Management Office?"
The First Ancient Emperor looked at Director Gai and asked, "If I remember correctly, even if a cultivator attempted to obtain Dragon Veins from the Sect Management Office, this matter shouldn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the Demon Extermination Bureau, should it?"
"Or is it that you’re trying to use something of my disciple for your own agenda?"
Gai You frowned, yet you still put on a show.
"Director Liu, help me capture this person, dare to impersonate His Majesty the First Ancient Emperor, hahaha, if he’s the First Ancient Emperor, then I’m the Alliance Leader of the Celestial Domain, Palace Master of the Immortal Palace!"
With that, Gai You stretched out his hand, aiming to capture the First Ancient Emperor, mana forming a Big Hand Seal from thin air, while Lin Jing had no intention to assist the First Ancient Emperor.
This old man, temporarily restricted by the Mechanical Turtle’s realm, was only at the early stage of Divinity Transformation; facing a Void Profound Great Cultivator, there was no chance of victory, but Lin Jing didn’t believe that he, as Lord of the Ancient Country, would have no means of restraining Ancient Country officials!
Indeed.
"Hmm." With a cold snort from the First Ancient Emperor, Gai You’s expression changed, realizing a formidable pressure enveloped him. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"How is it possible!" he exclaimed, this was official prestige, only applicable to the Ancient Country’s Immortal Official system, with pressure increasing according to the rank, effective only on fellow Ancient Country Immortal Officials, used by high-ranking officials to intimidate lower-ranked ones.
The Director of the Demon Extermination Bureau was already a third-grade official, yet this old man could make him feel pressure, temporarily influencing his actions.
However, expecting to rely on this pressure to leap in battle was nearly impossible, and soon Director Gai broke free from the pressure, sweat covering his forehead, but his hand had already stopped in mid-air without further action, because the scene was too bizarre.
If the old man’s official rank wasn’t greater than his, there was no reason for him to emit such might, which also left the still-hesitant Director Liu doubtful.
Who was this person?
"Old partner, wake up and help prove my identity."
At that moment, as the First Ancient Emperor called out, the Ancient Country’s domain, the world’s greatest mountain, the Celestial Essence Continent’s largest Dragon Vein slowly opened its eyes.
"True Dragon Summoning Technique, the Ancient Emperor has finally returned..."
Legend tells that the founder of the Celestial Essence Ancient Country, the First Ancient Emperor, once used the True Dragon Secret Technique to transform the Celestial Essence Continent’s central mountain range; the range soared, turning into a Divine Dragon, bearing the responsibility to guard the Celestial Essence Ancient Country.
This mighty dragon, only awoke when crises the Ancient Country couldn’t withstand emerged, to suppress calamities, reaching the late stage of seeking the path, even the Second Ancient Emperor couldn’t completely command it, obeying only the First Ancient Emperor’s contract.
The Ancient Country’s traditional festival, the Ascending Dragon Festival, commemorates this dragon.
Now, this Dragon Emperor of Fortune, dormant for thousands of years, awoke, transforming into a beam of golden light rising from the depths of the earth vein into the clouds, instantly shaking the whole continent.
In the outer sky, those maintaining the border, upon sensing the dragon’s might, paused, gazing toward the Second Ancient Emperor simultaneously.
"The Dragon Emperor of Fortune, why did it..." the Second Ancient Emperor was equally astonished, why did this dragon, following the First, suddenly awaken, normally, only when the Ancient Country encounters a ruinous crisis would this core symbol of fortune, the dragon vein, rise to fend off enemies.
Celestial Domain, Celestial Secret Tower.
Prince Gu and the two generation masters of the Celestial Secret Tower also watched the distant golden rays with shock.
"The Dragon Emperor of Fortune??" the previous master of the Celestial Secret Tower was perplexed, currently, the Ancient Country hadn’t faced any ruinous disaster, how could this creature awaken; if not due to dire threats, what other reason was there to awaken the Dragon Emperor other than someone summoning it.
And among those capable of awakening it, he was unsure if the Second Ancient Emperor had the capability, but one person certainly had it...
That was, the founder of the Celestial Essence Ancient Country!
