#917 - The protagonist of an era
“Senior.”
Jun Wuxie stepped forward and naturally sat down opposite the Dragon Lord.
“You’ve come.” The Dragon Lord picked up the teapot, poured two cups of steaming tea, pushed one of them in front of Jun Wuxie, and said, “I know everything you’ve done outside.
Killing over a thousand Pseudo-Myth realm cultivators, such a battle record is rare even throughout the entire Immortal Ancient era.”
“Senior is too kind, I am only relying on my strong physical body.”
Jun Wuxie was very humble, in front of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, such strength was nothing to be proud of.
The Dragon Lord before him, his talent and potential, must have reached some unimaginable level in the Myth realm, something he could not even fathom now.
The Dragon Lord smiled gently and said, “You don't need to be humble, a strong physical body is fundamental.
Everyone who cultivates in this world knows, who wouldn't want to cultivate their physical body to a stronger level?
The physical body is the carrier of the soul, energy, and even the great Dao of cultivation.
You are walking a path that no one has ever tried before, only cultivating the physical body.
Since ancient times, as far as I know, you are the only one.”
“But there are many ancient bloodlines in this world whose physical bodies are naturally extremely powerful, that is one of their bloodline characteristics.
There are also some savage beasts and primordial beasts whose physical bodies are also very terrifying.
As far as I know, your Dragon clan, Golden Ancient clan, etc., all have extremely strong physical bodies.”
“Indeed, the strength of the physical body is related to the race's bloodline, and some races are born with extremely strong physical bodies.
But even so, they still need to cultivate true energy and cannot specialize only in physical body cultivation.
But you are different, you only cultivate the physical body, replacing true energy with blood energy, perfectly integrating the two paths of physical body and true energy cultivation.
This path, perhaps only you can walk it, it can allow you to crush opponents of the same realm and domain.”
“Cough…”
The Dragon Lord finished speaking, covered his mouth and coughed twice.
Jun Wuxie saw blood seeping out from between his fingers, and his face became somewhat pale.
This shocked him greatly, this was the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, how could he cough blood?
“Senior, what is this…”
Jun Wuxie looked at him worriedly.
For such a strong person to cough blood, one could imagine how severe the injury was.
“It's nothing…” The Dragon Lord wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head gently, saying, “I will recover after a few days of rest.”
“Senior, how could a strong person like you be injured?
Could it be that an Emperor-level powerhouse infiltrated the Dragon Nest and ambushed you?”
“No, this is because I suffered a backlash when I deduced Xi'er's fate.”
Jun Wuxie was stunned when he heard this: “Emperor-level powerhouses can also suffer a backlash when deducing other people's fates?
As far as I know, Emperor-level powerhouses can travel through the river of time at any time, shuttle through the past and future, and see through other people's past lives, present lives, and future…”
“You are right, Emperor-level powerhouses do have such abilities, but there are also exceptions.
If you encounter special circumstances, it will be different.
For example, no one can deduce your future, not even the Heavenly Emperor.
“This…” Jun Wuxie nodded and said, “Perhaps it should be related to the fact that I am innately undefined by fate.”
“Being innately undefined by fate is only one of the factors, there is another great karma on you.
Xi'er's acquaintance with you can be considered as forming a connection, and there is karma between you, so deducing her future fate has become extremely difficult.”
“So it's because of me…”
Jun Wuxie was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Because of his influence, the Dragon Lord suffered a serious backlash when deducing Long Xi's fate…
The Dragon Lord's expression was somewhat solemn, and said: “The reason why I deduced Xi'er's future fate is because I sensed in the dark that she would be in danger.
After the deduction, I confirmed that she does have a great calamity.”
“When?”
He knew that the great calamity in the Dragon Lord's mouth must be extraordinary.
“It should be in these few years.
Due to your influence, even I cannot see it very clearly.”
“So, Long Xi will encounter a desperate situation in the Upper Realm Universe?
Doesn't she have a Dao protector?”
“Some things are difficult to explain, and the Dao protector cannot absolutely guarantee Xi'er's safety.
Perhaps only you can help her through this calamity.
Your luck is extremely prosperous, if you come to the Upper Realm in the future, you may be able to rewrite Xin'er's fate, so I want to entrust you to protect her peace.”
“Long Xi is my friend, and Senior has helped me a lot.
If I go to the Upper Realm, I will do my best to protect Long Xi's safety.
I will do this even if Senior doesn't say it.
But I don't understand, Senior, as the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, an Emperor-level powerhouse, should be able to easily help Long Xi through the great calamity.”
“The Upper Realm is not as simple as you think, there are also life forbidden zones there, lurking with powerhouses of my level.”
“I understand.”
Jun Wuxie didn't say much anymore.
It seemed that even Emperor-level powerhouses couldn't do whatever they wanted, even saving their own daughter might be difficult.
“Come, drink this cup of tea, it will bring you benefits.”
Jun Wuxie looked down at the tea in front of him, which was still steaming with warm air.
The tea was not the Dragon Soul Tea from last time, the fragrance was different, and if you looked closely, there were vaguely some source fragments flashing in the tea.
This cup of tea contains the power of the source!
There are many sources in the world, with a wide variety of types.
Jun Wuxie didn't bother to care what kind of source was in the tea, he trusted the Dragon Lord.
Since the Dragon Lord knew some of his secrets, it meant that he had obtained the tacit consent of Qingxue and Aunt You.
He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
The tea entered his throat and quickly generated a large amount of source, flowing along his limbs and bones to his whole body, tempering his flesh and blood, pouring into the source of his bloodline, and merging into the starry sea within his cave.
He felt comfortable all over, with a feeling of ascending to immortality.
He could clearly feel his physical body becoming stronger under the tempering of the tea source, and his own bloodline source was gradually growing stronger after absorbing and merging these sources.
“This is the first opportunity I am giving you.”
The Dragon Lord took out a crystal jade bottle, inside which floated a drop of golden blood.
Inside that blood, a hazy true dragon emitted bursts of dragon roars, causing true dragon energy to condense around the blood, surrounding the blood and shuttling back and forth.
“This drop of True Dragon essence blood is the second opportunity I am giving you.
I hope it can help you through the End of the World Flood, and it can also be regarded as an advance thank you for helping Xi'er in the future.
This is the maximum I can help you at present, and I hope it will not affect your own fate and karma.”
After the Dragon Lord finished speaking, the crystal bottle flew into Jun Wuxie's hand.
“Senior's kindness, I will remember it in my heart!”
Jun Wuxie held the crystal bottle in his hand, and from the essence blood in the bottle, he felt the Dragon Lord's aura.
This meant that this was the essence blood extracted from the Dragon Lord's own body.
Although this essence blood should not be very pure, and the true dragon source contained within was not much, it was a treasure for him.
After all, he could only withstand such purity.
Obviously, the Dragon Lord had considered it very carefully and erased the killing intent, otherwise, even if he gave it to him, he would not dare to refine it.
The surrounding scenery suddenly changed drastically, the small courtyard was gone, only raging flames were burning.
Jun Wuxie looked around, there seemed to be barriers, he felt as if he was in a flame furnace at this moment.
The temperature inside was extremely high, the flames were raging, burning his body.
At first, with his strong fire resistance and physical body, he didn't feel anything, but gradually, it became more and more scorching, and the temperature continued to rise.
He began to feel pain in his muscles, and before long, his skin was even burned.
He hurriedly circulated his life essence to repair his flesh and blood, while guiding the source within the tea to temper his physical body, while resisting the burning of the flames, and at the same time incorporating strands of flame essence into his body.
Those flame essences destroyed his flesh and blood beyond recognition, but fortunately his recovery ability was amazing.
In this way, constantly cycling between destruction and repair.
The tea source and the essence of the flames tempered his physical body at the same time, causing the strengthening speed of his physical body to continue to climb.
During this process, not only was the source of his bloodline growing stronger, but his body's fire resistance was also continuously increasing.
Inside that small courtyard, the Dragon Lord was writing with a pen.
In front of him was a jade-colored piece of paper, and as the pen in his hand moved, it recorded densely packed words, occasionally interspersed with pictures.
“Immortal Ancient, I once witnessed the protagonist of an era, that existence rose among many competitors and reached the invincible peak.
In this era, I hope to witness again the invincible growth history of a protagonist of the era.”
The pen in his hand recorded all kinds of things happening in the current Lower Realm Universe, from Jun Wuxie's perspective, from Nan Huang's perspective, from Xiao Tianming's perspective, from Cang Tian's perspective, from Ba Feng's perspective, from Ji Yinlan's perspective, etc…
As he wrote, Xiao Tianming and Nan Huang, among the protagonist candidates, sadly withdrew, the brilliant halos of Cang Tian and Ba Feng disappeared, and the perspectives of all routes gradually converged and focused on Jun Wuxie.
In the competition of an era, how many young supreme beings, in the end, only one person will step onto the peak and overlook the starry sky.
In the Lower Realm Universe, Jun Wuxie emerged victorious in the competition and finally became the only protagonist in his pen.
At this point, the Dragon Lord's pen stopped and drew a temporary end.
Then, he wrote the words Era Protagonist of the Upper Realm Universe, leaving the rest blank.
“I, the Yu Emperor, will be the witness, personally holding the pen to record your life, I believe you will not disappoint me in the end.
I hope that in the end, the era protagonist in my pen will always be you, and not someone else…”
The Dragon Lord muttered to himself, no one can guarantee who will be able to reach the end and stand on the absolute peak.
Even the Innately Undefined by Fate, who is favored by the Heavenly Emperor, is the same, the future has infinite variables.
In this era, who exactly is the future protagonist, the Dragon Lord doesn't know.
He will record all the talented people on the road to hegemony in this era, but he knows that many people will gradually disappear or fade away in his pen, either falling on the road to hegemony or becoming ordinary people, only the real protagonist can continue to shine, but he hopes that person is Jun Wuxie.
Only when this young man ascends to the absolute peak will the heavens of this era have great hope.
… …
At this moment, Jun Wuxie, who was enduring the burning of the Divine Flame in the True Dragon Divine Flame Furnace, had no idea that the Dragon Lord had recorded his life experiences from childhood to the present in such a short period.
He was feeling pain and pleasure at the same time.
The pain of the True Dragon Divine Flame burning his body was an indescribable torment, but the benefits it brought him were extremely obvious. Coupled with the origin power in the tea, his physical body was improving at an extremely fast rate.
This Divine Flame was specially treated by the Dragon Lord, just within the limit that Jun Wuxie could withstand.
Every moment, he could feel his physical body becoming stronger.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.
He had completely fused the origin power in the tea into his own origin, and the True Dragon Divine Flame could no longer cause substantial damage to him.
His body's fire resistance had increased countless times.
In the Star Sea, his blood energy was even more condensed. The amount had not decreased, but the quality had been improved.
Every pore on his body was spraying golden light, his muscles were flowing with precious radiance, and the aura of the Mythical Domain was much stronger than before.
Mythical Domain Second Heaven!
After more than ten days, he finally broke through the shackles of his talent growth intensity and reached a higher level.
His physical strength, life blood energy, physical recovery ability, defense ability, speed, and so on, had all doubled. It was an indescribable feeling.
"The encounters in life are truly unpredictable. Just because I had a benevolent thought in the beginning and gave the Ancestral Dragon Heart to Long Xi, I have received such rich rewards. It is indeed convenient for others and convenient for oneself. Everything has cause and effect…"
Jun Wuxie's heart was surging, and he was also very emotional.
The good cause he planted with a single thought in the beginning finally yielded a good result.
If he had been a selfish person, how could he have had today's encounters, let alone receive the Dragon Lord's favor?
His state of mind gradually calmed down. He took out the small bottle, opened the stopper, and poured the drop of True Dragon blood essence into his mouth.
As the blood essence entered his throat and slid into his body along the esophagus, a surging life essence and dragon origin power were generated in his body, causing endless dragon roars to erupt from within his body.
The majestic life essence was almost bursting his physical body.
He hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to refine and absorb it, tempering his physical body, strengthening his origin, incorporating it into the Star Sea, and condensing his blood energy.
He sat cross-legged in the furnace, with golden True Dragons rushing out of every pore, causing countless True Dragon Qi to shuttle through the furnace, and the Dragon Might to roll and surge.
Day after day.
In the blink of an eye, Jun Wuxie had been in the Dragon Nest for almost a month.
Those who were brought into the Dragon Nest by him also received great benefits in that special valley.
After fusing the mysterious origin power in the valley, the talent growth intensity of everyone had increased by more than one level.
The smallest increase was naturally for those Supreme Giants. The strongest among them finally broke through the shackles of the tenth peak of the Ancient Legend and entered the Quasi-Mythical Domain.
At this level, no matter how they used special resources, it would be difficult to break through again.
But there were also exceptions, such as the Great Elder, who was trying to break into the Mythical Domain.
Qing Yue, Ji Yinlan, Ling Fei, Shangguan Wan'er, and Yue Chenyu were also the same.
Those at the peak of the first level of the Ancient Legend, who could not break through due to the lack of a cultivation environment, broke through the most rapidly this time due to years of accumulation. Everyone broke through several levels, and some even rushed to the fifth level of the Ancient Legend.
Ba Feng also broke through to the tenth peak of the Ancient Legend and was trying to break into the Quasi-Mythical Domain, but encountered difficulties.
Cang Tian had already established himself in the Quasi-Mythical Domain and was attacking the Mythical Domain, also encountering difficulties.
The Mythical Domain was not easy to break through. This was a watershed, a threshold.
With their bloodlines, stepping into the Mythical Domain was only a matter of time, but it required accumulation and continuous stimulation of their bloodline potential. It was quite difficult to break through in a short period of time.
Even if their breakthrough was relatively easier than Jun Wuxie's, because Jun Wuxie specialized in cultivating his physical body, it would be even more difficult. The resources required, the requirements for physical strength, and so on, were all extremely terrifying.
But they still felt it was difficult, and even if they stepped into the Mythical Domain, compared to Jun Wuxie, there was still a significant difference in strength. The cultivation paths they took were different, and the achievements were also different.
… …
Outside, almost a month had passed since Jun Wuxie left with his people. The Immortal Execution Dynasty was very calm, and the starry sky was also very calm.
But everyone felt a sense of oppression.
That inexplicable sense of oppression was frightening. In the dark, many people had a premonition that the torrent of the apocalypse was getting closer and closer, and it might erupt at any time.
On this day, an old man came to the Immortal Execution Dynasty. Uncle Ran and Holy Son Teng personally greeted him.
Then, they went to Zongwang Mountain.
"Elder Qian Yu, why are you here?"
Ling Qingyu and the elegant and beautiful woman Jing Ya walked out together and came to the foot of Zongwang Mountain, with a bad feeling in their hearts.
