Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 601 - 439
The sky was as clear as a mirror, like the reflection of a sapphire lake.
White clouds drifted by, while flocks of egrets soared and sang.
Beneath the blue sky and white clouds, everything was beautiful.
The terrifying great war between the Sect Alliance and the Northern Region Army, which had occurred not long ago, seemed to have been completely smoothed over.
Because of Hong Yuan's performance, the foreign Heavenly Talents once again fell silent.
The Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, it seemed, had returned to a long-missed peace and tranquility.
However, the higher-ups of the various forces all understood that this was merely the calm before the storm.
Once the nine Great Dream Seeds made their moves consecutively, the consequences would inevitably be earth-shattering and continent-sinking!
Regardless, the contributions Hong Yuan had made to this day were indelible.
「Jing State.」
The Yun Chu Mountain Range, known as the home of a hundred thousand mountains.
Within a dark cavern deep in the Yun Chu Mountain Range, nine cultivators in black robes, their figures eerie, were gathered here.
"Hong Yuan is too powerful; I simply can't enter the inner city of the Phoenix Creek Sect."
"Indeed. Every time I try to approach Phoenix River Town, I sense a life-or-death crisis. I dare not tread further."
"When a general is in the field, he may not always obey the orders from his sovereign. We can set aside the Demon Court's instructions for now. Perhaps we should change our assassination target to Tang Tianlong instead of Shang Yaoqin?"
"I think that's a viable plan!"
"Six-Arms agrees."
"..."
The nine black-robed cultivators murmured amongst themselves.
A gust of sinister wind inadvertently lifted the robe of one cultivator, revealing a snake-patterned wrist.
These nine cultivators, though appearing human, were, in fact, Demon Clan spies!
They were the spies the Demon Clan had expended immense effort to infiltrate into the Five Major Divine Continents of the Human Race.
The struggle for Human Race Destiny had commenced. Upon receiving orders from the Demon Court, these long-dormant Demon Clan spies gradually began to grow active.
Their assassination targets were the nine Great Dream Seeds!
Now, keenly aware of Hong Yuan's might, they were shifting their assassination target from Shang Yaoqin to Tang Tianlong.
In the grand scheme of fate, wasn't this also a significant manifestation of the changes in the Luck Tao?
"Hahaha, East Supreme Saint, I told you your idea was nothing but a daydream!"
"If reaching the Supreme Grandmaster Realm were so easy, the Destinies of the Human and Demon Clans wouldn't even exist in this world!"
"The Great Taoism is fifty, Destiny spans forty-nine, forsaking one!"
"Since you are not destined for it, I advise you to honestly set foot on the Nine Heavens Ancient Path and pursue that illusory 'one'!"
"WAHAHAHA—"
Inside the Purgatory Phoenix Valley of the Central Region Divine Continent.
The Nine Nether Phoenix let out a wild laugh, madly mocking East Supreme Saint's overestimation of his abilities.
As its laughter spread, the Emperor Array in Purgatory Phoenix Valley slowly reactivated, releasing thousands of divine lights and exuding an inviolable majesty.
This Emperor Array, established by the Soul Killing Demon Emperor during his lifetime, was extremely terrifying.
As soon as the Emperor Array awakened, it emitted a wisp of aura toward the Nine Nether Phoenix.
The Nine Nether Phoenix, so arrogant moments before, was instantly pinned down by this wisp of aura, completely immobilized and looking utterly pathetic!
Seizing this opportunity, the purple-gold True Dragon that East Supreme Saint had transformed into immediately flipped over, firmly pressing the Nine Nether Phoenix to the ground.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOOM!"
Thunderous sounds erupted from the Nine Nether Phoenix as it was forced to emit streams of deep black qi and crimson light.
With each wisp of black qi and red light that dissipated, the Nine Nether Phoenix's vitality waned slightly, while the aura of the purple-gold True Dragon, East Supreme Saint, grew correspondingly stronger.
Even more ingeniously, East Supreme Saint manipulated the black qi and red light. They actually coalesced, forming white fruits about two meters in size.
"Using my school's attainments as a catalyst?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"To stimulate the flourishing of Dream Tao and forcibly accelerate the birth of The Destiny of Great Dreams?"
"You indeed paint a beautiful picture, but this world isn't composed solely of your Human Race!"
The Nine Nether Phoenix collapsed on the ground, its form having shrunk considerably.
But its expression remained ferocious, its verbal barbs undiminished.
It allowed East Supreme Saint to plunder its foundational power; moreover, it even actively cooperated with him!
Idiot! The Nine Nether Phoenix gazed at the grave expression of the purple-gold True Dragon, East Supreme Saint, and couldn't help but find it laughable.
Could the Supreme Grandmaster Realm be achieved so easily?
What a joke!
One must understand that the Supreme Grandmaster Realm is honored with the title of Tao Master—the master of a Tao!
In the millions of years since the Human and Demon Clans diverged, only a little over twenty Tao Masters have emerged.
Just think about it, and one realizes how incredibly difficult and terrifying it is to elevate one's school's attainments to the Supreme Grandmaster Realm.
If it were so simple to achieve the Supreme Grandmaster Realm within a school, there wouldn't be merely these twenty-plus individuals over millions of years.
At present, East Supreme Saint's opportunistic actions completely defied the laws of heaven and earth; thus, he was bound to pay a tremendous price!
How could this not make the Nine Nether Phoenix sneer endlessly?
A quarter of an hour later, a heaven-shattering roar erupted, and a rain of blood fell from the sky.
Before the Nine Nether Phoenix's eyes, the purple-gold True Dragon, East Supreme Saint—suspended in mid-air and enveloped by black qi and red light—exploded!
East Supreme Saint exploded!?
"You arrogant fool! And you call yourself the Dragon Sun Emperor's Child? Pah!"
The Nine Nether Phoenix sneered, a hint of amusement in its eyes.
However, in the next instant, its smile froze.
Temporal Tao Divine Power: People As Before!!
Time flowed backward. Moments rewound.
The blood rain, which had splattered in all directions, was now drawn upward by an invisible, colossal hand, ascending back into the sky and returning to its origin.
East Supreme Saint was alive again!
But his complexion was somewhat pale.
As expected, it's not that simple, is it...
East Supreme Saint's eyes were deep and chillingly dark as he exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He looked down at the Nine Nether Phoenix, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Man will triumph over Heaven."
"Nine Nether Phoenix, you would do well to pray for my swift success!"
With his words finished, East Supreme Saint transformed back into the purple-gold True Dragon and lunged at the Nine Nether Phoenix, a rank, bloody wind heralding his attack.
Within Purgatory Phoenix Valley, agonizing beastly roars, shrill to the extreme, echoed once more.
Even the indomitable Emperor Array quaked under the impact of this immense power, trembling slightly—a terrifying sight indeed.

After sending away Shang Yaoqin, who had come seeking guidance, Hong Yuan stood in the Martial Arts Field, gleefully checking his proficiency panel.
Previously, Hong Yuan could find no excuse to interact with Shang Yaoqin.
He had to rack his brains, meticulously laying out plans, all to successfully trick Shang Yaoqin.
But ever since befriending Shang Yaoqin through music and easily dispatching Hei Zhenwu, Hong Yuan no longer needed to manufacture reasons. Shang Yaoqin herself began to seek him out for instruction.
These interactions ranged from exchanges on the Sound Tao and combat practice to discussions about cultivation theories...
Day by day, his persistence paid off, like water dripping through stone.
As a result, Hong Yuan's attainments in Dream Tao steadily improved—it was smooth sailing all the way!

"Hahaha."
It seems that once you find the right method, the Supreme Grandmaster Realm isn't as difficult as I imagined.
I truly am a cultivation prodigy. Such minor obstacles can't hold me back at all!
Gazing at the data on his proficiency panel, Hong Yuan felt a warm current surge through him, rushing up his spine.
It was warm and deeply satisfying.
A sea of flowers abruptly bloomed in his heart. Joy surged through his chest, so sweet it almost overwhelmed him.
I've also mastered the 'Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill.' From now on, I can unleash even greater power within the Reverse Saint Array.
When dealing with those Great Dream Seeds, I won't need to impose too many restrictions on myself. If anyone displeases me, I'll give them a taste of real power!
Hong Yuan gazed at the blue sky, the smile on his face deepening.
The Illusion Cloud Flood Dragon and the Bee Beast Worms, as if sensing his joy, all cried out gleefully in unison, perfectly embodying the image of eager sycophants.
And this, naturally, made Hong Yuan even happier.
If he so wished, he could, at any moment, reenact the famous scene: "Old man, I, feel a youthful vigor stir; left hand leads a yellow hound, right hand holds a dark goshawk. Brocade cap, sable coat, a thousand horsemen sweep across the gentle slope..."
