Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 608 - 442
A massive black orb rapidly condensed in the air. One after another, Demon Clan spies transformed into a rain of light, merging into the black orb before perishing completely!
Watching the black orb that seemed to crush the void, Tang Tianlong's body trembled incessantly, for he felt the chilling breath of death.
"Divine Power is no match for Great Power!"
Currently, Tang Tianlong's cultivation realm was still too low. Even with his formidable Dream Tao talent, he was still no match for an opponent whose power far exceeded his own. Moreover, what he had accomplished thus far was already commendable. For a third-order cultivator to confront nine fifth-order cultivators—anyone who heard of it would praise his prowess.
At this moment, Crown Prince Tang Anshi and Phoenix Princess Tang Xi were greatly weakened due to the suppression of the Reverse Saint Array. The two were still hurtling through the air, utterly unable to rush to Tang Tianlong's aid!
Facing the enormous black orb swooping down on him, Tang Tianlong's eyes filled with despair. If no one comes soon, I'm destined to be the first Great Dream Seed to die!
At this critical juncture, the last Demon Clan spy departed with a smile, leaving the three from the Daxuan Dynasty in utter horror.
"SIGH..."
A sigh suddenly echoed through the area. Subsequently, the huge black orb froze in mid-air, then dissipated as if blown away by the wind.
A Master had intervened! Furthermore, to exert Saint Level strength while under the suppression of the Reverse Saint Array implied that the intervener had to be a high-ranking official from the Heavenly Palace who possessed authority over the array.
A pure white feather descended from the sky, dispelling everything.
It was the aura of Mou Liang Great Saint!
Am I... still alive?
Tang Tianlong's knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground in a wretched state, his eyes staring vacantly at the pure white feather. Just a moment more, and he, Tang Tianlong, would have perished mid-journey, becoming the first Great Dream Seed to die!
A moment later, two sounds of tearing through the air heralded the arrival of both the Crown Prince and Phoenix Princess. By this time, Tang Tianlong had also composed himself and slowly stood up.
"Eighteenth Brother..."
"How are you?" the Crown Prince and Phoenix Princess asked in quick succession, their concern evident.
With a ferocious glint in his eyes, Tang Tianlong firmly asserted, "It was Hong Yuan! It must have been Hong Yuan who sent assassins after me! Once my divine arts are mastered, I will surely use Hong Yuan to test my blade!"
The other two, sensing the dense Demon Essence lingering in the air, remained silent for a moment, tacitly acknowledging Tang Tianlong's words.
Today's events could not possibly be kept hidden. If outsiders learned that Tang Tianlong had been targeted by the Demon Clan as a vulnerability, and that if not for the intervention of a Heavenly Palace Master, he would have been assassinated, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar! As for Tang Tianlong himself, he would definitely be deemed weak and vulnerable by the other Great Dream Seeds, likely becoming the first to be ousted. This was absolutely unacceptable.
Thus, attributing the assassination plot to Hong Yuan, the foremost mortal member of the Sect Alliance, seemed reasonable. After all, Hong Yuan was powerful, but his power also had its limits. Coincidentally, Hong Yuan and their Daxuan Dynasty already shared an irreconcilable feud!
「On the side of the Sect Alliance.」
Hong Yuan had earlier managed to secure Shang Yaoqin's friendship with great ease. When Hong Yuan and Ye Zhuyin made music together, Shang Yaoqin would occasionally join them. Beyond that, Shang Yaoqin was even willing to interact and spar with Hong Yuan, discussing Taoism Shen Tong. In such circumstances, Hong Yuan stealthily and continuously siphoned the Dream Tao Mystery that Shang Yaoqin carried.
Very soon, Hong Yuan had absorbed the majority of the Dream Tao Mystery from Shang Yaoqin. And because in the struggle between Great Dream Seeds, the victorious one absorbs the Dream Tao Avenue Truth from the vanquished, a phenomenon occurred where this Truth was transferred between them. Once Shang Yaoqin defeated or killed another Great Dream Seed, his Dream Tao Mystery would increase further, and Hong Yuan would also absorb more Dream Tao Mystery, thereby enhancing his own Dream Tao proficiency.
Apart from this path through Shang Yaoqin, Hong Yuan did not overlook Hua Menghuang, his good disciple, either. The path to the Supreme Grandmaster Realm, particularly the Dream Tao Supreme Grandmaster Realm, was very clear to Hong Yuan. He had essentially been granted a new yet secure path to improve his Dream Tao proficiency!

The sky was clear, without a cloud in sight for ten thousand li. Brilliant sunlight shone upon the entire Rainbow Fire Peak, presenting a thriving, vibrant scene.
"BUZZ... BUZZ..."
"ROAR... ROAR... ROAR..."
In the rear garden of the Peak Master Great Hall, thousands upon thousands of Bee Beast Worms buzzed, their wings vibrating. The snow-white Flood Dragon, resembling a coiled cloud mass on the ground, also raised its head and roared at the sky. They all displayed such postures because they sensed the joy in Hong Yuan's heart.
However, for any other individual, no matter how perceptive, discerning Hong Yuan's current joy would be extremely difficult. The perception of the Bee Beast Worms and the Illusion Cloud Flood Dragon was purely because, after being suffused by the vast fortune of Hong Yuan's Water Tao incarnation, they had become a part of him. This granted them such keen sensitivity to his mood. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Hong Yuan sat on the long bench in the garden pavilion. He bowed his head, his expression rapt, his hands moving leisurely as he drew the bow across the erhu strings. The melodious music drifted through the air.
In an instant, flowers burst into bloom. Despite it being late summer and early autumn, the scene was like a garden in full spring bloom.
"HMPH. HMPH."
"With ease, I've advanced my Dream Tao proficiency to Grandmaster 30%. Such an achievement—who else but I could accomplish it?"
