What was a True Dragon's Vein?
It was transformed from the body of Tai Sui and was formed by the essence of heaven and earth. It was the source of Taoist Qi for cultivators in the world. It was also an object that bore the fate of the world. In today's era, where the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was thin, the True Dragon's Vein was particularly precious. For example, in the Heavenly Grand Ritual hosted by the Mount Wangwu Heaven, all the Blessed Lands were desperately competing for the ranking.
If such an object was placed in a country or a dynasty, it would be a national treasure. In the Blessed Lands, it would be the heritage of a family. How could it be easy to move the True Dragon's Vein?
Even if only one true dragon's vein was moved, it would still require a cultivator with profound cultivation to use their heaven-defying methods and cooperate with other fengshui masters to complete the move. It was said that the old president had moved the true dragon's vein of the Metaphysical Society back to the capital in this way, but that was only one true dragon's vein. After the Heavenly Grand Ritual competition ended, more than a hundred true dragon's veins needed to be distributed. If all of them were moved by the Dragon Sealing Tablet after being distributed, what kind of power would that be?
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an immortal's method.
Looking at the plain stone tablet in front of me, it took me a long time to come to my senses. I was still shocked. I tried to use the Dongming Technique to check it several times, but I couldn't find any clues about the Dragon Sealing Tablet. I couldn't help but ask Officer Wang next to me, "Do you know who made the Dragon Sealing Tablet?"
After hearing my question, Officer Wang hurriedly answered, "Sage, this tablet has been around for nearly a thousand years. According to the ancient records, it was the first time that the Mount Wangwu Heaven won the Heavenly Grand Ritual. After that, some Blessed Lands had disputes over the distribution of the True Dragon's Veins. However, when all the Blessed Lands couldn't come to an agreement, a stone tablet fell from the sky and took root in Mount Wangwu. Then, the True Dragon's Veins began to be distributed and moved to the Blessed Lands."
Speaking of this, Officer Wang stole a glance at me. When he saw that I didn't look impatient, he continued, "At that time, although there was a dispute over the distribution of the True Dragon's Veins, the Heavenly Grand Ritual was the biggest event among the Blessed Lands. The rules of the competition and the distribution of the True Dragon's Veins had long been set. As for the dispute, everyone was well aware of the distribution of the True Dragon's Veins. As for the dispute, it was just because some Blessed Lands were unwilling to accept it. The number of True Dragon's Veins distributed by the Dragon Sealing Tablet was completely in accordance with the rules of the Heavenly Grand Ritual, so in the end, everyone had to acquiesce. In the following thousand years, the distribution of the True Dragon's Veins has been the same after every Heavenly Grand Ritual. Therefore, we guessed that the Dragon Sealing Tablet was made by the Immortals who had ascended to the Heavenly Grand Ritual.
"Ascending to the Heavenly Grand Ritual, the Immortal Realm."
I murmured, "What kind of realm is it to ascend to the Immortal Realm? I already knew that after condensing the Yang Spirit, there was still the Yang Spirit Ascension, and then the Red Cloud Ascension."
Although ascending to the heavens sounded illusory, it wasn't impossible to see or touch it. For example, Wang Can's father ascended to the heavens not long ago in Mount Wangwu. According to what I learned from the major forces, President Li of the Metaphysics Society and Celestial Master Zhang of Mount Longhu shouldn't be far from this realm, let alone the other heavenly paradises.
After thinking this through, I felt much better. That day at the Fire God Temple, after Tao Wu was taken away by the Heaven's Will, the bronze giant's words had a deep impact on me. It was the biggest stone in my heart. As long as I didn't reach the Celestial realm, I wouldn't be able to save Tao Wu.
Even if it was just to save my wife, I had to go all out to reach the Immortal Realm. No matter how difficult the road was and what price I had to pay, I wouldn't hesitate. Since the Way of Heaven couldn't tolerate Tao Wu and me, it didn't matter if I changed the Way of Heaven and changed the sun and the moon.
Now that the dust had settled on Allheaven, I didn't plan to stay here for long. There was still some time before Lu Zhenyang and I agreed to meet him in Hebei. I had already told Fatty that I would go home when I had time. I had planned to go back during the Qingming Festival, but I had been delayed because of what happened in Hong Kong. This time, I couldn't delay it any longer. After all, no one knew what would happen if I went to Chiyou's skull tomb with Lu Zhenyang in Hebei. If something happened, I didn't know when I would be able to pay my respects to my parents.
While I was thinking about my next plan, Officer Wang, who was standing next to me, suddenly called me. "Sage, the migration of the true dragon veins is about to begin. It's a grand occasion that only happens once every ten years."
Wang Can's words immediately piqued my interest. Just now, I had roughly estimated that there were no less than 150 True Dragon Veins in the Ten Great Paradises, 36 Small Paradises, and 72 Blessed Lands. If all of them were moved by the Dragon Sealing Tablet, wouldn't it be a magnificent scene of hundreds of dragons soaring into the abyss? This was only possible in the Heavenly Grand Ritual, which happened once every ten years in the Blessed Lands. If it was in the outside world, not to mention once every ten years, it would be impossible to see such a scene in a hundred or even a thousand years.
"Will all the true dragon veins be migrated at the same time?" I asked Officer Wang.
"Sage, just wait a moment. You'll know." Officer Wang kept me guessing. He gave me a faint smile and walked away.
Officer Wang didn't stop walking. He walked all the way to the ceremonial altar on the viewing platform and took a golden page from Ah Lu. This golden page recorded the ranking of all the Blessed Lands after the Heavenly Grand Ritual competition. It was written in a secret book of Mount Wangwu under the supervision of the representatives of all the Blessed Lands.
"Thanks to the support of all the Daoists, the Heavenly Grand Ritual of Wangwu Grotto-Heaven has come to a successful conclusion. According to the ancestral rules of the Blessed Lands, after the competition, the true dragon veins will be redistributed. The new rankings of the ten Great Paradises, thirty-six Small Paradises, and seventy-two Blessed Lands are recorded on this page. Now, the Dragon Sealing Tablet will distribute the true dragon veins."
Officer Wang raised the golden page with both hands. Zheng Zhi walked to the Dragon Sealing Tablet and sang loudly, "The Heavenly Grand Ritual is to pray for the peace of the people. The competition is to encourage the people to advance. The champion of this competition is Mount Wangwu Grotto-Heaven."
Then, Officer Wang bowed to the Dragon Sealing Tablet three times with an excited face. Then, he performed a hand seal. The golden page left Officer Wang's hands and slowly floated up. Then, it turned into a wisp of golden air and entered the Dragon Sealing Tablet.
It's coming!
I exclaimed in my head. Then, I saw the white lights on the Dragon Sealing Tablet flicker as if they had come to life. It looked as if something was about to jump out of it.
I looked at Officer Wang. His movements didn't slow down. Quite the contrary, he sped up. His ten fingers moved back and forth in the air, dazzling me.
As Officer Wang continued to urge his hand seals, the things that had been floating on the stone tablet finally jumped out. Now, I could see clearly what those white lights were.
I had just roughly counted. There were 175 light spots on the Dragon Sealing Tablet. In other words, there were 175 True Dragon Veins in this Taoist Sanctum. I could guarantee that if a cultivator under the Glorious Era stayed in this place for more than a month, his Taoist Qi cultivation base and physical strength would be greatly improved.
If those True Dragon Veins could stay here for more than a month, they could condense no less than 10 drops of True Dragon Saliva.
True Dragon Saliva was a treasure that could only be found by chance. A full True Dragon Vein could only condense one drop. In the past, my cultivation base was destroyed by the Lu family, and I had to rely on this thing to recover.
Later, the Snake Spirit used the medicinal effect of the True Dragon Saliva in my blood to transform and reach the Heavenly Master Realm.
Even though I was experienced and knowledgeable, when I saw the scene of more than 100 True Dragon Veins soaring in the sky, I could only describe it as shocking.
It wasn't just me. The young geniuses who came to participate in the Heavenly Grand Ritual for the first time in the Blessed Enclave had similar or even more shocked expressions. If ordinary geomancy masters in the secular world saw this scene, they would be scared to death.
Geomancy masters spent their entire lives searching for True Dragon Veins. If they knew that there were more than 170 True Dragon Veins in the Wangwu Mountain Grotto-Heaven, I really don't know what they would think.
Immortal means, Immortal means. How could this Dragon Sealing Tablet be so powerful? How could it be something from the secular world?
Just as I was looking at the Dragon Sealing Tablet, I suddenly felt a warmth in my chest.
Is that the jade bracelet?
As soon as I thought of the jade bracelet, I immediately lowered my head. The jade bracelet that I had placed on my body slowly floated up in the air and emitted a faint light toward the True Dragon Veins that filled the sky.
Right at this moment, a True Dragon's Vein flashed in front of me. Following a flash of light from the jade bracelet, the True Dragon's Vein visibly dimmed.
