Chapter 65: Dragon Sovereign’s Request 1
Translator: 549690339???????????????? —
Shen Yuan remained silent, not imdiately responding.
The gifts offered by the Yunng Dragon Monarch were of a value that could not be dismissed. The requirent it suggested ant Shen Yuan could ask for anything, even including the understanding of the fragntary Heavenly General Great Divine Power.
But, Shen Yuan was well aware that the Yunng Dragon Monarch had a specific intention in proposing this competition, and fulfilling that request was not sothing easily accomplished.
After thoughtful consideration, Shen Yuan asked:
“May I ask what exactly does Dragon Monarch request for?”
The Yunng Dragon Monarch laughed heartily, “It is not a difficult task for the Taoist.”.
Thousands of years ago, I killed the Eleven Water Gods who betrayed . Only Water God Wo Xuan of the Canglan River managed to escape.”
As ti changed and even my hatred for the River Ji Dragon Palace, who were behind all this, faded considerably, Wo Xuan still remained as my inner demon as many of my dragon offspring within the Dragon Palace fell under his sches.
Because once I had granted Wo Xuan an edict, I have often been able to perceive his existence during these thousands of years. He managed to survive through so ans and did not fall during the Spirit Energy depletion.”
“If I should fortuitously win this competition, I would like the Taoist to take action on my behalf and kill Wo Xuan!”
Kill Wo Xuan?
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but slightly pull back the corner of his mouth.
While the Yunng Dragon Monarch made this request seem insignificant, it absolutely was a task of hellish difficulty in Shen Yuan’s perspective.
Many years ago, Wo Xuan was already the first among the Twelve Water Gods and managed to escape from the clutches of the Yunng Dragon Monarch.
If Wo Xuan truly survived all those years, his strength must have greatly increased and he might have even beco one of the titans of the Aquatic Tribe.
Shen Yuan, being completely aware of his own abilities, knew that despite being treated courteously by the Yunng Dragon Monarch, it did not make him the Monarch’s equal.
At present, Shen Yuan was only at the Essence Refining Stage, ddling with a character like Water God Wo Xuan would be equivalent to seeking his own death.
“Forgive but I must decline.”
Shen Yuan’s words were crisp and clear, leaving even the Yunng Dragon Monarch sowhat surprised.
In his view, the Immortal-ascending Taoist was renowned and revered even before he went into seclusion, and his strength had reached unimaginable heights after coming out of it. Shen Yuan and the struggling Wo Xuan certainly did not stand at the sa level.
If Shen Yuan was willing, killing Wo Xuan would be a breezy matter.
The Yunng Dragon Monarch grew anxious. He had given away the incomplete Heavenly General Great Divine Power simply to grasp the slightest opportunity to kill Wo Xuan.
Who would have thought that Shen Yuan was not at all tempted. Which led him to quickly ask:
“Does the Taoist not trust the competition proposed by ?”
“Although the Heart Lake contains everything I possess, it is essentially not under my control. This competition primarily depends on luck rather than external force.”
Shen Yuan shook his head.
“It is not that I doubt the Dragon Monarch’s fairness, but I am unable to fulfill the condition put forth by the Dragon Monarch, and naturally, I cannot accept this competition.”
The Yunng Dragon Monarch simply could not believe Shen Yuan’s words.
It was well known that before the Immortal-ascending Taoist rose to fa, his sect had already started campaigning for him, with his influence reaching the entire Primal Chaos Realm.
Many prodigies of different sects started to self-seal and go into seclusion, only to avoid the Immortal-ascending Taoist. How could such a peerless character view Wo Xuan as a threat?
Initially, this matter was supposed to end here, however, the Yunng Dragon Monarch was not willing to let it go.
The arrival of Shen Yuan was the only chance in the thousands of years to kill Wo Xuan. If Shen Yuan left, and waited for the next person capable of killing Wo Xuan to enter the dream, nobody knew when that would happen.
What was more, he might not be able to hold on till that ti…
Upon this thought, the Yunng Dragon Monarch clenched his teeth and proclaid:
‘Since the Taoist has reservations, I will not insist on this condition. I simply wish for the Taoist to slay Wo Xuan when the opportune ti cos, bringing an end to my deep-rooted obsession.”
“As for when that opportune ti might be, I leave that to the Taoist’s discretion.”
And even if the Taoist loses, he can keep what he fishes out from Heart Lake.”
Shen Yuan was taken aback.
Based on Yunng Dragon Monarch’s words, it seed as though even if Shen Yuan loses, he wouldn’t need to make any commitnt, and he could still acquire the Dragon Sovereign’s precious knowledge from Heart Lake, making it a no-loss, all-profit situation.
If Shen Yuan still refused with such terms, it would make him seem unappreciative.
Then, let’s follow your command.
And so, Shen Yuan accepted the terms put forward by the Yunng Dragon Monarch.
The anxiety on the face of Yunng Dragon Monarch dissipated as he reached out and picked up the cyan fishing rod, casting the hook into the water.
Watching this, Shen Yuan also picked up the purple fishing rod, mimicking the Dragon Monarch’s actions.
The mont the hook fell into Heart Lake, Shen Yuan felt as if his consciousness had plunged into the limitless depths of an abyss.
In this dead silence, a few bubbles emitting faint light were moving around.
As soon as his Divine Sense touched them, Shen Yuan thought he could see a tableau of Yunng Dragon Monarch inviting many from the Aquatic Tribe to a feast, where the various Water Gods and Dragon Kings of the rivers bestowed all kinds of treasures to the Dragon Monarch.
The treasures in these bubbles were illusionary objects, useless even if hooked. However, the knowledge of the precious scriptures and divine techniques offered up were real records of the Dragon Monarch’s mory.
If Shen Yuan chose to hook one of these bubbles, he would be capable of acquiring the knowledge within.
The fishing hook swayed slightly, and Shen Yuan avoided the bubble.
Although the Dragon Monarch’s feast was extravagant, the information it carried didn’t seem very precious in Dragon Monarch’s mory.
What Shen Yuan truly sought was either the fragnted insight of “Heavenly General’s Great Divine Power,” or at least details about the customs and cultures from ten thousand years ago. At minimum, they could be useful in providing references for his hidden mission.
Low-level divine techniques and thods were of no value to Shen Yuan.
In the boundless abyss where he couldn’t see anything, Shen Yuan had to rely on his own instincts to keep searching, touching bubble after bubble.
A long silence fell on the small boat, with both Shen Yuan and Yunng Dragon Monarch searching for their targets in Heart Lake.
After an unknown amount of ti, the fishing rod held by Yunng Dragon Monarch finally reacted.
The cyan rod began to sway constantly. It seed like a giant creature was pulling at the rod from beneath the calm surface of the water.
Yunng Dragon Monarch seed to sense sothing and a smile erged on his face.
The giant creature was dragging the entire boat around Heart Lake, causing Shen Yuan’s hook to be affected as well. Unable to control the direction of his hook, he could only let it roam.
Shen Yuan glanced at Yunng Dragon Monarch, who laughed out loud.
It seems that in terms of luck, I am ahead by quite a bit!”
As his voice fell, Yunng Dragon Monarch suddenly swung his fishing rod, pulling a fragnted golden scroll from the heart lake into his palm.
Over the lake, cloud coverage darken, as if a heavy downpour might happen at any mont.
Undoubtedly, the object hooked up by Yunng Dragon Monarch was the understanding of the Rain Calling Divine Ability.
Whether it was a clever trick or simply that his luck was better, the fishing contest seed to already be devoid of suspense.
In this Heart Lake, was there sothing more valuable than the fragnted Heavenly General’s Great Divine Power?
All Shen Yuan could do now was to select the most precious mory amongst those remaining bubbles to take away.
Just as Shen Yuan was beginning to think this way, a blurry shadow appeared within his perception range.
Upon directing his senses towards the shadow, Shen Yuan saw clearly, it was a palm-sized black kitten, swimming in the lake, its mismatched eyes shimring with faint light at the bottom of the lake.
In her mouth, she was grasping a golden carp.
The golden carp was squirming with teardrops the size of beans constantly squeezing out of its dead eyes.
This kitten was currently swimming towards the direction of the fishing hook with great effort.
