The First Glimpse of Primordial Magnetism, the Great Truth of Dragon Life

"This Five-Dragon Heavenly Palace was forged by me in my early years. If the Dragon Lord finds this Flood Dragon essence an eyesore, we can change to a different Law Treasure artifact for transportation."

Uncle-Master Pang's implication was that he was afraid the Dragon Lord Shuyu would be angry that he had used Flood Dragon to pull the carriage.

Although these five Flood Dragon, in terms of bloodline, don't even qualify as a scale of the Ancient Dragon Clan, perhaps the dragon lord is a bit petty?

"This Flood Dragon's essence is not good."

"Then I'll change..."

Uncle-Master Pang frantically searched through his storage ring.

"It's time to the Ancient Dragon Clan."

"Huh?" Uncle-Master Pang paused, slowly raising his head, his mind completely blank. "Whose turn?"

Dragon Lord Shuyu nodded slightly, as if he thought his idea was very good, "Exactly five."

Uncle-Master Pang's mind raced, and he immediately realized that this referred to a complete family of five from the Azure Abyss Dragon Palace!

Five Flood Dragon parted the sea of clouds, riding on lightning, and pulled them toward the heart of the Hundred Immortals Alliance.

The two sat in the hall in silence. Uncle-Master Pang even unconsciously kept a great distance between them, his face almost frozen with a forced smile, as if afraid of offending the Dragon Lord—his mind wasn't just a little narrow-minded, it was extremely narrow-minded!

Dragon Lord Shuyu seemed to find it amusing and asked:

Where are we going?

Yong Province.

The Hundred Immortals Alliance originally had a territory consisting of seven states and twenty-three counties, with Liang Province.

Originally, in order to facilitate the operation of maritime trade routes, Nine Mountains Realm spent most of its time in Liang Province.

"These past few days, the Nine Mountains Realm have been staying in Yong Province."

Yong Province is not close; it is separated from Liang Province by Chen Province.

"Stay?"

"As expected, you can't hide it from the Dragon Lord." Uncle-Master Pang regained his composure. "In the future, the Nine Mountains Realm will rotate through the seven states and won't stay in one place for a fixed time."

Why is that?

Uncle-Master Pang remained mysterious. "You'll understand when the Dragon Lord arrives."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Lord Shuyu couldn't help but show some curiosity and looked ahead.

Since Uncle-Master Pang Spirit Transformation, he has used the Nine-Turn Golden Core Method to reforge the Five-Dragon Heavenly Palace. Now, the speed of this Law Treasure is vastly different from before.

Despite crossing two states, the two were almost at their destination in just six days.

What is that?

The Dragon Lord Shuyu, who had been suppressing his curiosity the whole way, finally couldn't help but point ahead and ask.

The place she was pointing to was a mountain peak, not high, but with a strange shape:

There was no vegetation on it; the mountain was dark and faintly reflected light.

With the discerning eyes of the Dragon Lord Shuyu, he could naturally see that the Primordial Magnetism force of this mountain was extremely powerful.

She had seen many Primordial Magnetism Mountains before, but this was the first time she had encountered one with such a strange appearance.

Looking at the ant-like flow of people moving up and down the mountain, Dragon Lord Shuyu asked Uncle-Master Pang, "Are those disciples of your Nine Mountains Sect?"

"Exactly."

Uncle-Master Pang didn't keep them in suspense any longer and explained, "The reason our Nine Mountains Realm is here is to test the Earth-Vein Magnetism Network."

"Earth-Vein Magnetism Network?"

"The Dragon Lord can also call it the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation."

The Dragon Lord Shuyu understood the name, and her gaze fell on the strange mountain peak, then she suddenly paused.

"They've spotted us?"

It should be noted that, not only is she True Immortal, but Elder Pang of the Nine Mountains beside her is also a Nascent Spirit Transformation.

Their eyesight Divine Sense were far superior to those of the disciples on the mountain.

The Five-Dragon Heavenly Palace is still quite far away. Generally speaking, only a Nascent Spirit Transformation possesses such a vast Divine Sense.

But now, the Dragon Lord Shuyu suddenly noticed that the disciples on the mountain were looking in this direction and were gathered together, as if on guard.

"Is there Spirit Transformation on the mountain?" The thought flashed through the mind of the Dragon Lord Shuyu, but upon closer inspection, he dismissed it.

Whether she has reached the Spirit Transformation or not, she, True Immortal, cannot hide it from her.

Among the disciples of the Nine Mountains, the one with the highest cultivation level is the Nascent Soul.

"This mountain is a node of the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, possessing reconnaissance capabilities," Uncle-Master Pang finally explained. "They are familiar with my spiritual power and it won't trigger an alarm in the array. However, the Dragon Lord is a stranger to this array."

As for the underlying principles, Uncle-Master Pang found it difficult to explain.

Simply put, this is equivalent to a super-powerful version of Spiritual Energy Detector.

The Dragon Lord Shuyu frowned slightly. Uncle-Master Pang seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled, "Of course, if the Dragon Lord had a superior method of concealing her aura, this great formation wouldn't be so sensitive."

Hearing this, the Dragon Lord Shuyu felt somewhat relieved and finally exclaimed, "This detection range is probably comparable to that of Dharma Body."

Uncle-Master Pang nodded and said, "More or less."

Uncle-Master Pang took out the Comprehensive Mirror, sent a Spirit Message, and the Five-Dragon Heavenly Palace continued flying towards this strange mountain.

Because of what had just happened, the Dragon Lord Shuyu became even more curious about the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation and carefully observed the situation in the mountains.

"These disciples are... setting up an array?"

Having probably received Spirit Message from Uncle-Master Pang, the disciples in the mountains went about their business with peace of mind.

They formed hand Method Formula and cast various Law Artifact into the rocks.

Dragon Lord Shuyu didn't recognize most of these Law Artifact, but he understood that they were probably related to the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation.

"This is..."

Just as Uncle-Master Pang was about to explain, a blinding light suddenly appeared, and the two of them felt that the world in front of them was completely white.

Dragon Lord Shuyu was startled and looked toward the source of the light.

Sure enough, it was that strange mountain peak again that caused the trouble.

Lightning surged around the mountain, gathering towards the summit and finally condensing into a pure white sphere of light.

Even from a distance, the Dragon Lord Shuyu could feel the heat and power contained within the sphere of light—according to her estimation, this sphere of light contained power equivalent to that of Dharma Body cultivator!

As if in response to her thoughts, the sphere of light shot out a thick and menacing beam of light towards another majestic mountain in the distance.

The sky and earth were both bright and dark, as if someone had turned the lights on and off repeatedly.

The orb of light remained suspended on the mountaintop, seemingly doing nothing, the scene calm and serene.

But that innocent mountain is gone!

It wasn't destroyed, nor interrupted, but rather as if it had been completely and utterly erased from the world.

"The power of Dharma Body, no, even the power of a top-tier Dharma Body cultivator."

The Cultivation Method practiced by the Dragon Lord Shuyu is very similar to that of the Demon Race race. The Dharma Body she speaks of corresponds to the Yang Spirit of the Immortal Sect.

This level of power was nothing to her.

But looking at the disciples of the Nine Mountains who seemed to have exhausted their energy and appeared to have expended little power, she couldn't hide her surprise and asked, "This formation doesn't require the disciples to use their Law Power?"

With her knowledge, she naturally knew that many formations could allow disciples with lower cultivation levels to unleash power far exceeding their own.

But what's terrifying about this Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation is that it seems that the powerful pillar of light just now was equivalent to a strike from a top-tier Dharma Body, without consuming much of the disciple's Law Power!

What this means, the Dragon Lord Shuyu understands very well—based on this, it can be inferred that this great formation may only require some disciples with low cultivation levels to be able to hold out against a high-level cultivator for a long time.

Uncle-Master Pang explained, "It's not that there's no consumption, but this grand formation relies on the Earth Vein, so the consumption is relatively small."

Seeing that the Dragon Lord Shuyu's expression still held surprise, Uncle-Master Pang smiled and said, "Actually, we also took your divine Divine Ability into account for this great formation."

"My Divine Ability?"

"From you, Dragon Lord, we have learned of the immense power of heaven and earth. This Magnetic Array is actually imitating your divine Divine Ability in the Sea Region. Of course, it is far inferior to them now. If this array could be spread throughout the Hundred Immortals Alliance or even the entire Xuanwei, the situation would be different."

"..." Upon hearing this, the Dragon Lord Shuyu was not comforted at all; instead, she seemed to have heard some earth-shattering fallacy. "But that is an innate bloodline Divine Ability of my Dragon Clan."

Uncle-Master Pang replied modestly, "Of course we can't compare, so we can only put in this kind of hard work."

"Hard work?"

For some reason, the Dragon Lord Shuyu felt that there was a kind of power within it that she was not very familiar with, and even vaguely fearful, about to emerge.

"Mountain after mountain, inch after inch of Earth Vein," Uncle-Master Pang pointed to the disciples on the mountain, "Without the blessings bestowed upon us by heaven and earth, the disciples of my Nine Mountains Sect can only gradually transform this land into the shape we desire."

"..."

Dragon Lord Shuyu remained silent for a long time, only glancing carefully at the disciples of the Nine Mountains on the mountain before turning his head to look at Uncle-Master Pang with a completely new gaze.

Previously, she had somewhat looked down on this person. It wasn't that she looked down on him, but as Ancient Dragon Clan, it was difficult for her not to feel superior to Human Race, especially Human Race with lower cultivation levels.

Elder Pang, in particular, acted a little too... cautious.

But those few words had completely changed her perception of Pang True Person.

Or rather, the overwhelming sense of ambition Perfected Person in his calm tone left her speechless. She even felt that the people of the Nine Mountains Sect were a thousand times more arrogant than she, Ancient Dragon Clan who was smug because of the favor of heaven and earth.

The two flew to the foot of the strange mountain peak, and only then could the Dragon Lord Shuyu see the situation clearly:

The Nine Mountains Realm hangs high in the nearby void.

A steady stream of disciples, carrying various Law Artifact Law Treasure, traversed back and forth between these wondrous mountains and the Nine Mountains Realm.

"Did they come here to build a Nine Mountains Realm formation?"

"Part of the reason."

Dragon Lord Shuyu turned to look at Uncle-Master Pang, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Speaking of which, she had been to the Nine Mountains Realm quite a few times, but in terms of understanding of the Nine Mountains Realm, she didn't actually know much. When the Dragon Lord Shuyu came before, she didn't even bother to see Zheng Fa, but instead went straight to touch the dragon eggs.

One reason, of course, is her aloof personality; it's fair to say that she didn't care much about anything except the dragon eggs.

On the other hand, there was also the reason of her pride. Although the Nine Mountains Realm Immortal Method was a bit special, she didn't value it much.

But today, after seeing this Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, she found herself much more interested in the Nine Mountains Realm than before.

"The Nine Mountains Realm moved here naturally to construct the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, which is the most important task for our Nine Mountains Sect for the next fifty years."

Although he possessed the Universe-in-the-Sleeve Technique, modifying the Earth-Vein Magnetism was still a massive undertaking.

Zheng Fa could only do a portion of the work; many other tedious, meticulous, and indispensable tasks had to be left to the elders and disciples.

So the Nine Mountains Engineering Team started running around everywhere.

"On the other hand, there's the Sect Leader's idea: even if the grand formation is completed, the Nine Mountains Realm will rotate through the seven states of the Hundred Immortals Alliance in the future."

Why is that?

Before Uncle-Master Pang could answer, Zheng Fa's voice came through. "It's for supervising the disciples."

Zheng Fa quickly walked up to the two of them, bowed to Dragon Lord Shuyu, and said, "Dragon Lord, your visit is unacceptable; I apologize for not greeting you sooner."

The Dragon Lord Shuyu glanced at the still-being-improved grand formation and shook his head, saying, "Compared to this grand formation, welcoming me is of course a minor matter. Speaking of which, what are you here to oversee?"

It's clear that she now has a completely different interest in some of the developments in the Nine Mountains Realm than before.

Zheng Fa led the Dragon Lord into the Nine Mountains Realm and said frankly, "After the great formation was completed, the Nine Mountains disciples have much greater control over the Hundred Immortals Alliance than before."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"It's a good thing, but it's also troublesome... What if some of my Nine Mountains disciples commit evil deeds?"

"..."

"Mortals are far from being able to resist cultivators. With the power of the Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, I'm afraid no one among the disciples of the Nine Mountains in the mortal realm can restrain us. Within the Nine Mountains Realm, there are also Divine Way Method to collect information from the mortal world... but the Hundred Immortals Alliance does not."

Before the Dragon Lord Shuyu could react, Uncle -Uncle-Master Pang, unusually indignant, said, "I think the disciples of our Nine Mountains are all of good character."

"That's true, and it's not that I don't trust them," Zheng Fa said softly, "But if even one person harbors evil intentions, the consequences could be the loss of thousands of lives. Uncle-Master, can you guarantee that every disciple will not harbor malicious thoughts? Even if it's like this now, what about in the future?"

Uncle-Master Pang shut his mouth, clearly understanding the answer to the question.

"So that's why you wanted to use the Nine Mountains Realm to inspect the Hundred Immortals Alliance?" Dragon Lord Shuyu understood and said in realization.

"Yes, the fact that the Nine Mountains Realm is movable has given us a lot of convenience. Of course, this idea is still in its early stages, and we need to explore how to make it most effective."

Indeed, as Uncle-Master Pang said, most of the disciples of the Nine Mountains are actually of good character.

This is related to the selection criteria of the Nine Mountains Sect, but fundamentally, it's because the Nine Mountains Sect has developed too quickly and hasn't yet reached the point of infighting and exploiting ordinary people.

But development can always stagnate at times.

He doesn't believe that systems are omnipotent, but he has a little more faith in systems than in people's hearts or morality. Moreover, many systems must be established from the beginning, and cannot be left until the problems become too deep to be fixed. By then, it may be too late to change them.

This matter had nothing to do with Dragon Lord Shuyu, so the group talked about it briefly and then let it go, heading together to the Heavenly Palace Hall.

"Lord Dragon, you mentioned in your letter that you have important matters to discuss with my Nine Mountains. May I ask what these matters are?"

"I have come here to discuss the matter of our two sides cooperating to fight against the Azure Abyss Dragon Palace."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly; he had expected this.

"Dragon Lord, please have a seat." Zheng Fa had his disciple serve him spiritual tea, then asked, "May I ask how the Dragon Lord wishes to cooperate?"

After a moment of silence, the Dragon Lord Shuyu suddenly said, "If you can grant me one request, I will nominally submit to your Nine Mountains Sect as my master."

Zheng Fa was slightly taken aback; this was unexpected. "What are your requirements?"

"From now on, the Nine Mountains Sect will reign supreme on the water, while the underwater realm will be my territory."

Zheng Fa was increasingly puzzled. These conditions seemed far too generous, not much different from the current situation.

Since the difference is not significant, why would the Dragon Lord Shuyu be willing to submit to someone else for no reason?

Seemingly sensing his confusion, the Dragon Lord Shuyu's expression also turned somewhat bitter. "That Azure Abyss Dragon King not only wants me to submit to him, but he also wants to monopolize this Sea Region."

Now Zheng Fa understood. The Dragon Lord Shuyu had cast aside the bias of being of the same race and grasped a profound truth about the life of a dragon:

Those who wish you dead are all your colleagues.
