"That was..."
"A demon dragon? The one from Flood-Dragon Palace had made a move!"
"Coming from the east, raising waves, its waters clear and pure with an icy chill... It was [Three Stars Water]!"
Within the Great Void of Sky Horn Sect, the many Purple Mansion True Persons fell silent as cicadas in winter.
Fang Qing stood beside Fang Daoling, yet seemed no more than a patch of empty space. He gave a soft laugh.
"'Heaven-Dawn Spirit Abyss Dragon Lord' hadn't acted in person. He'd sent an envoy under his command—an Attendant Deity?"
Judging by his cultivation, the azure Flood Dragon was somewhere between Spirit Division and Void Refinement. He was precisely the kind of "envoy" unique to the Breath-Nourishing Dao!
To raise one, the candidate not only had to cultivate [Three Stars Water] to Perfected Purple Mansion, but "Heaven-Dawn Spirit Abyss Dragon Lord" also had to expend a strand of Golden Nature.
An envoy's combat strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Purple Mansion True Person, and he was also an extension of a Golden Core will.
Clearly, after the Yinglong envoy and White Ze had perished together, "Heaven-Dawn Spirit Abyss Dragon Lord" had raised another Attendant Deity.
Now, that Attendant Deity was acting in "Heaven-Dawn Spirit Abyss Dragon Lord's" stead!
"Though he was an envoy, that Dragon Lord's consciousness might well be directing him from within... After all, True Lord Guangmu had committed an incarnation! No ordinary envoy or Attendant Deity could withstand that..."
Beyond sharing the lifespan and condition of the Golden Core True Lord to whom he was bound, a Golden Core envoy had one greater use: serving as a vessel for the True Lord's descending consciousness and power!
When a Golden Core made a move, heaven and earth followed!
Light flashed in Fang Qing's eyes.
