Dragon Lord's Discovery, the Framework of the New Method

"Thank you for informing me, Dragon Lord."

This news is also extremely important to the Nine Mountains Realm.

"What are Sect Leader Zheng's plans?"

"Does the Dragon Lord know the location of the Newborn Sea Region? How large is it? Are the cultivators there powerful?"

Dragon Lord Shuyu seemed to feel that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she raised her hand and pulled out a red hairpin from her hair bun, and drew it in the air.

Whoosh... whoosh...

The sound of waves echoed among the people and the surrounding walls.

A breeze stirred in the Heavenly Palace Hall, carrying with it the coolness of the sea.

Looking in the direction the wind came from, one could see a crescent-shaped crack appear in the void where the hairpin tip had just passed.

The seawater in the crack was blue-green.

Even the Heavenly Emperor Body was somewhat surprised.

This move demonstrated his strength; this Dragon Lord Shuyu was probably even stronger than he had imagined.

As if oblivious to his surprise, the Dragon Lord Shuyu continued to tap her hairpin, and the sea in the crack stretched further and further away, encompassing an ever-widening Sea Region.

Finally, they even saw the coastlines of the landmasses on both the east and west continents.

The Dragon Lord Shuyu then revealed the entire Sea Region to everyone.

"The so-called Newborn Sea Region has not actually fully appeared, and it seems there is no way to reach it. I don't know its size, but its location should be to the north and south."

She pointed towards the southernmost and northernmost points of the Sea Region.

Uncle-Master Pang asked in confusion, "Is there no way to get there?"

After thinking for a moment, the Dragon Lord Shuyu made an analogy. "It's somewhat similar to what the Four Sects experienced in the Underworld."

The explanation was fresh and intuitive, and the Heavenly Emperor Body understood it immediately.

The space between this Newborn Sea Region and the Xuanwei Realm is chaotic, and they do not seem to have fully integrated yet.

"How did the Dragon Lord know there were cultivators there?"

"I am blessed by heaven and earth, and have a deep connection with the ocean," said the Dragon Lord Shuyu, "A connection I perceive more deeply than others."

Those in the hall nodded in agreement, showing no doubt about her statement, but they all looked at Zheng Fa.

The meaning is clear: given the situation in the Sea Region, how should we respond?

The importance of the Sea Region to the Nine Mountains Sect is self-evident.

Moreover, promoting the Celestial River Method, lowering the Immortal Sect, and even industrializing the cultivation of immortality are all major resource-consuming industries.

The emergence of the new Sea Region inevitably disrupted some of the Nine Mountains Realm's previous plans.

"As the Dragon Lord said, we know very little about those Sea Region and the cultivators within Sea Region, and we haven't had any direct contact with them yet, so there's no need to rush."

The Heavenly Emperor Body addressed his Uncle-Master Pang, saying, "Uncle-Master, pay close attention to gathering information about the situation in the north and south of the Sea Region. It would be best to send disciples to garrison there."

Uncle-Master Pang cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

"On the other hand, our Nine Mountains Realm already has enough troubles," the Heavenly Emperor Body said, frowning. "Even if new forces emerge, we'd better remain calm, guard our borders, and avoid causing trouble. Our primary focus should be on our own development."

His ideas were rather conservative and passive, but the people of the Nine Mountains Realm understood them immediately.

The Old Yuan said, "That makes sense."

There are still a lot of things to be done in the Nine Mountains Realm.

Zheng Fa needs to advance his skills.

The Immortal-Slayer Sword Formation could not be digested.

Sea Region development is also booming and has great potential.

Simply put, they are still in the stage of farming.

In addition, there's Lu Mo, Thunderclap Temple, such formidable enemies.

There's really no need to stir up trouble.

Let's see how things go first.

The Dragon Lord Shuyu came to deliver the message, and the Heavenly Emperor Body was deeply grateful. He personally acted as her guide and led her to the Azure Dragon Lodge.

Azure Dragon Lodge is home to the Agriculture Academy, as well as agricultural and animal husbandry laboratories, experimental fields, and pastures.

Upon entering the Azure Dragon Lodge, the Dragon Lord Shuyu's expression changed slightly. As if sensing something, he was no longer the aloof and arrogant man he once was; instead, his eyes showed a hint of impatience.

The Heavenly Emperor Body glanced at her, chuckled inwardly, and understood her feelings.

The two went straight to an island and entered a courtyard.

Upon entering, the most striking feature is a pond with azure water, brimming with Spiritual Qi.

On the shore, Jiao Wuji was giving instructions to his disciples, but he didn't see the Heavenly Emperor Body or the Dragon Lord Shuyu.

"Sect Leader!"

Upon hearing his disciple bow, Jiao Wuji paused for a moment before turning around to look at the two of them.

With just one glance, his knees buckled, and he almost knelt down.

Unbeknownst to others, he was half-dragon, and deep within his bloodline was etched the absolute obedience to the true dragon.

Furthermore, since the Dragon Lord Shuyu is the most noble Ancient Dragon Clan and his strength far surpasses his, killing him is about the same as crushing a mudfish.

How could his legs not go weak?

Dragon Lord Shuyu he was not particularly friendly either.

Jiao Wuji could understand.

The Dragon Clan has always looked down on the Jiao (蛟) species.

Unfortunately, his appearance was too casual, and he had always been insecure, feeling that it offended the Dragon Lord's eyes.

But this only made him more uneasy.

Fortunately, the Dragon Lord didn't seem to care much about him, his gaze sweeping over him before landing on the pond.

"Dragon Lord, you've figured it out?"

The Heavenly Emperor Body laughed.

The Dragon Lord Shuyu nodded slightly, his expression excited, yet also somewhat incredulous, as he looked at the Heavenly Emperor Body, seemingly waiting for reassurance.

"This project is overseen by Elder Jiao," the Heavenly Emperor Body said, pushing Jiao Wuji forward. "Why don't we let him introduce it?"

Jiao Wuji's body stiffened, his expression blank, and under the gaze of the Dragon Lord Shuyu, his mind was completely blank.

But he dared not keep the Dragon Lord waiting any longer, so he could only swallow hard and stammer as he explained:

"The Dragon Lord sent three dragon eggs and borrowed some of his true form's cells for research..."

"But that wasn't enough. We also went to the birthplace of the Dragon Lord, inspected it, and simulated its environment in the courtyard..."

"Until last month, we successfully hatched fifteen new dragon eggs."

Jiao Wuji was indeed very familiar with the experimental process. When he spoke of it, he even forgot his fear and talked about it fluently.

"Fifteen?"

"I am so anxious," asked the Dragon Lord Shuyu.

"Fifteen, but only one... showed activity."

Jiao Wuji's expression was quite regretful.

But the Dragon Lord Shuyu seemed struck by lightning, his whole body trembling. After a long while, he finally confirmed, "Really, he's alive?"

"Having vitality doesn't guarantee its successful development." Facing the Dragon Lord Shuyu, Jiao Wuji was very honest, not daring to boast. "We can only say it's possible, but whether it will be healthy, we don't know."

Seeing the Dragon Lord Shuyu's somewhat disappointed expression, Jiao Wuji quickly said, "Of course, the possibility is still very high, it's just that we've never raised dragons before..."

Even if it's unsuccessful, it can lay the foundation for future experiments.

Dragon Lord Shuyu took two deep breaths to calm herself down, and asked nervously, "May I see it?"

Jiao Wuji to refuse? He beckoned with his hand.

Ripples spread across the pool, gently lifting a dragon egg as it floated to their feet.

This dragon egg is taller than a person, made of white jade, and has a radiant sheen.

The eggshell seemed to be breathing, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy in the water.

The Dragon Lord Shuyu reached out his hand, but as if afraid of using too much force, he dared not touch it.

"Rest assured, Dragon Lord, this egg is made of hard material and cannot be broken by Law Artifact."

"Um."

Hearing Jiao Wuji's words, the Dragon Lord Shuyu nodded gently, appearing rather obedient.

She then placed her palm on the egg, closed her eyes, as if she were talking to the dragon egg.

After a long while, she opened her eyes, her gaze filled with wild joy, but her voice was very low. "It's alive! It's alive! It seems to be responding to me."

At this moment, where was the Dragon Lord Shuyu and domineering ruler of the Sea Region?

She opened and closed her eyes repeatedly, finding endless enjoyment in this simple game.

"Why do I feel... that it's connected to me by blood?"

Finally, the Dragon Lord Shuyu noticed something amiss and asked.

Of course, we are connected by blood.

These dragon eggs, cultivated through genetic engineering, can all be considered the children of the Dragon Lord Shuyu.

"My child?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Lord looked at the dragon egg with more than just joy; his expression softened considerably.

Or rather, she seems to have developed some maternal instincts.

She turned the dragon egg over and over, stroking it for half an hour, before finally placing it in the pool.

The dragon egg sank to the bottom of the water, and the dragon lord gazed at the empty surface, still reluctant to let it go.

"Elder Jiao," she suddenly turned to look at Jiao Wuji, "I wonder when it will be able to hatch?"

"Well..." Jiao Wuji pondered for a moment, "That depends on how long it took you, Dragon Lord, back then."

The Dragon Lord Shuyu nodded and let out a soft breath, saying, "That's at least another thousand years..."

Her tone was full of eagerness, then she laughed self-deprecatingly, "I've waited for nearly a million years, let alone a thousand, I could wait ten thousand."

The Heavenly Emperor Body looked at her and thought to himself that with this dragon egg, the Dragon Lord Shuyu would probably be more accepting of the Nine Mountains Realm.

You should know that these are not her own kind, but her descendants.

The cultivation systems of the Demon Race and the Demonic Sect are somewhat similar, after all, Lu Mo was born Demon Emperor.

In other words, descendants can give back to their elders.

Even if the Ancient Dragon Clan is somewhat special, the significance of their descendants is probably still very important—as can be seen from the performance of the Dragon Lord Shuyu just now.

As a result, the connection between the two sides naturally became even closer.

The Nine Mountains Sect's influence in the Sea Region is more secure.

After a moment of silence, the Dragon Lord Shuyu suddenly bowed Jiao Wuji, his body bent extremely low.

Jiao Wuji truly wanted to kneel down now.

He reached out his hand, wanting to help the Dragon Lord, but then hesitated.

After rising, the Dragon Lord Shuyu Jiao Wuji, "I entrust my child to you, Elder. I also hope you will nurture more dragon eggs in the future."

"This little demon will do her best, no, she will fight with all her might!"

"Thank you Elder Jiao. If the Ancient Dragon Clan reappears, you will deserve the greatest credit."

"I wouldn't dare!"

The Dragon Lord Shuyu continued, "In my treasure vault, there is a ten-thousand-year-old Dragon-Transformation Grass, and also Demon-Washing Pearl..."

Jiao Wuji suddenly looked up.

Dragon-Transformation Grass is extremely useful against dragon-type Demon Beast.

The Demon-Washing Pearl can purify bloodlines, making it an invaluable treasure for Demon Race like Jiao Wuji, whose bloodlines are extremely impure.

Don't say the Dragon Lord has no treasures!

"I understand!"

The Dragon Lord Shuyu bowed again, turned and stared at the pond for a long while before leaving with the Heavenly Emperor Body.

Jiao Wuji watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then suddenly straightened up, his two human hands piercing his body, his posture extremely arrogant.

"Elder?"

Did you see that?

The disciple asked in bewilderment, "What did you see?"

"The only Ancient Dragon Clan in Xuanwei bows to me!" Jiao Wuji was smug, practically bubbling with pride. "How could those Demon Race who called me a bastard ever imagine that I would have a day like this?"

He was an experiment of the Great Freedom Devil Ancestor, so his cultivation progressed quickly, but he was quite discriminated against in the sea.

On one hand, many Demon Race do not recognize his Demon Race identity, believing him to be one of the Devil Ancestor's people, and they unanimously ostracize him.

On the other hand, he also knew that his appearance was a laughing stock.

Even after reaching the Spirit Transformation, his early experiences still made him feel somewhat ashamed of himself.

Only now, with the Dragon Lord Shuyu valuing and even respecting him so much, has he truly stood tall – in terms of noble bloodline, there are almost no Demon Race in the world whose bloodline is more noble than that of the Dragon Lord Shuyu.

He looked at the dragon eggs in the pond and hummed inwardly:

What is noble are the knowledge bestowed by the Sect Leader! The Method Formula summarized by Qian True Person! The unique Daoist methods of our Nine Mountains Realm!

"You said that once we raise more Dragon Clan, the Dragon Lord Shuyu will be the mother of the Nine Mountains Dragon Clan, but what about me?"

The disciple spoke quickly, "Father of the Nine Mountains Dragon Clan, waaaah..."

Gazing in the direction where the Dragon Lord Shuyu had departed, Jiao Wuji out in a cold sweat. "No way! I was responsible for nurturing and hatching these dragon eggs..."

Another disciple chimed in, "I understand, the midwife of the Nine Mountains Dragon Clan."

"..."

The Dragon Lord Shuyu was not used to being far from the Sea Region, and did not stay in the Nine Mountains Realm for long. After half a month, he took his leave.

The Heavenly Emperor Body personally escorted her to the outer realm.

Dragon Lord Shuyu said proactively, "I will pay close attention to the situation in those new Sea Region."

It seems the Dragon Lord cares more about the Nine Mountains Realm.

This is extremely useful for them in responding to changes in the Sea Region.

"Thank you, Dragon Lord, but please be careful."

"I see."

After bidding farewell to the Heavenly Emperor Body, the Dragon Lord Shuyu instantly arrived at the far north of the Sea Region with a thought.

Before me stretched a gray, endless fog.

Within the mist, Spiritual Qi energy stirred up spatial rifts, with only a few strange auras leaking out.

Others might not be able to sense it, but she could perceive it to some extent.

"There are cultivators..." the Dragon Lord Shuyu murmured softly, sensing carefully. Suddenly, his body stiffened, and his eyes widened. "Ancient Dragon Clan?"

She was deeply shocked, and despite her repeated attempts to sense the aura, it seemed to be there but not there.

If she hadn't seen a live dragon egg in the Nine Mountains Realm and gone to examine it every day, becoming very familiar with its aura, she would have thought it was just her imagination.

But she possessed the cultivation of True Immortal, and her perception in the Sea Region was unparalleled; there was no way she could mistake her.

Dragon Lord Shuyu stood on the water's surface, gazing at the distant horizon hidden in the mist, his expression conflicted.

Zheng Fa had no idea what the Dragon Lord Shuyu had discovered. He organized the <Yellow Court Scripture>, closed his eyes, and was transported back to the modern world.

"You mean, taking the * Yellow Court Scripture * as the foundation and the Celestial River Method as the basis, and then integrating all the Cultivation Method into one framework?"

"Yes," Zheng Fa nodded. "This advancement will be my final step before achieving the Dao Fruit. What I need is not just a single Cultivation Method, but a complete system."

Zheng Fa's eyes were much brighter than usual.

"If I only wanted to advance my cultivation level, I could have done it long ago. But the Yellow Court Scripture is more than that, and the Dao of my Nine Mountains Sect is more than that."

To put it bluntly...

No matter how profound or invincible a Cultivation Method may be, in his mind it is nothing more than that, far from being considered the Great Dao.

The true path.

It is the Yang Spirit Method of the Dao Venerable.

It is Lu Mo's Dharma Body Method.

It is the Heavenly River Celestial River Method of Venerable Tianhe Heavenly River.

What Zheng Fa needs to do is to be more comprehensive and stronger than them.

Zheng Fa met the Old Man Bai's gaze with a firm expression:

I have inherited the lineage of Venerable Tianhe.

They might even have to face formidable adversaries like Lu Mo, who Tribulation Reincarnation and created the Dharma Body Method.

Even more... they have to deal with the Dao Venerable's schemes.

All he could do was push the * Yellow Court Scripture * to a new level, to a point where no one had ever done it before, and ultimately to create New Method and unparalleled teaching.
