Chapter 103: Chapter 30 Mirage Pearl Illusion_1

Translator: 549690339 |

At the utterance of the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, Liew Yuansong’s right hand trembled, subconsciously almost tearing the notebook in his hand.

His voice revealed a touch of disbelief.

“Shattering Void?”

The superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau paid no heed to Liew Yuansong’s astonishment and strode into the polluted water, utterly indifferent to his exquisite gown being dirtied by the muddy flood.

He reached out to touch the cracks on the ground, his gaze seemingly transcending vision, recreating the battle that once took place on this battlefield.

” Prince Ji Du gave up his Incense Gold Body first, summoning the flood to forge the body of the Muddy Water True Dragon, harnessing the power of a three- hundred-li flood with his strength alone.”

Liew Songyuan hurriedly continued to record and asked the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau,

“A three-hundred-li flood surpasses mortal power. Does that mean he has surpassed the limits of the Qi Training Stage?”

The superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau nodded: “Although the power of the water deity points to some trickery, the body of the Muddy Water True Dragon is a kind of True Dragon Law. It can be said that it was a way to abandon the flesh and gain a temporary boost of strong power.

In terms of power alone, it even surpasses the limits of the Spirit Transmutation Realm.

However, the profound nature of a Spirit Refining True Being is not just simply reflected in pure strength, so even if controlling the power of a three-hundred- li flood, the Muddy Water True Dragon can only be classified as being within the Spirit Transmutation Realm.”

Speaking to this point, a barely detectable fear permeated the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s voice.

“Faced with Prince Ji Du, who actively gave up restraint to seek a higher level of power, he only used a single move.”

“Shattering Void!”

“A widespread Shattering Void severed the body of the Muddy Water True Dragon, forcibly halting the momentum of the three-hundred-li flood.”

Liew Yuansong’s handwriting trembled slightly, he couldn’t help but blurt out,

“Shattering Void is the signature of Void Refining True Monarch. Could it be that he directly released the restraint to reach the level of Void Refining True Monarch?”

Liew Songyuan’s words made the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau display a flash of doubt and he said with a grave tone,

“If it was a Void Refining True Monarch, he wouldn’t need to use Shattering Void at all to face the Muddy Water True Dragon. A single thought would be enough to suppress the Muddy Water True Dragon.

But the Space Rift left behind by this Shattering Void does not seem to be fake.

Perhaps…The Muddy Water True Dragon was just a facade, maybe Prince Ji Du also left some form of a backup plan, after all, you saw his Azure Dragon true form in Lake Dongting.”

An understanding expression appeared on Liew Songyuan’s face, and he quickly continued to write.

The superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau slowly got up, then his gaze drifted towards the direction of Lake Dongting as he analysed,

“The Muddy Water True Dragon was broken, but the Space Rift truly cannot halt the three-hundred-li flood under the jurisdiction of the water domain. At this time, an external force suddenly interfered from within Lake Dongting.

The collision of the water domain of Lake Dongting and the three-hundred-li flood forcibly ended this battle.”

“This being who appeared in Yunmeng Village after ten thousand years represents an extraordinary significance.

After his appearance, the position of Lake Dongting’s Dragon Sovereign has been determined. Perhaps there was a deal between him and Yunmeng Dragon Monarch from ten thousand years ago.”

At this point, the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau gaze turned solemn and he said in a heavy voice,

“Go and investigate immediately, see if there are any relevant legends in the tales passed down in Yunmeng Village!”

“Yes!”

Liew Songyuan agreed promptly, packed up his record book, turned around and left the place, preparing to personally investigate the place where the villagers of Yunmeng Village lived.

The superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau strolled around in the ruins, his detached gaze constantly searching for clues.

When he passed by the collapsed Dragon Sovereign Temple again, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Looking towards the Dragon Sovereign Temple, the superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau hesitated for a moment and then stepped into it.

The majestic building with carved dragons and painted pillars have already vanished, the deity statue on the altar has also disappeared, leaving only desolate silence behind.

A spatial fluctuation flashed in his hand, and a sky-blue sphere suddenly appeared in Superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s hand.

In the sphere, a faint mist circled, forming a dream-like Immortal Realm.

This was a precious Mirage Pearl, which he obtained from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s treasury after learning from The Ancient One that the Yunmeng Dragon Sovereign was a Mirage Dragon.

The Mirage Pearl came from a giant clam known as Mirage, found in the sea. It was a valuable artifact used for creating illusion arrays and magic artifacts.

The Mirage Dragon is considered one of the unusual True Dragons, a dragon offspring believed to be born from the union of an Ancestral Dragon and a Mirage, not constrained by shape-shifting limits.

It was documented in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s records that there was a certain probability of entering the Mirage Dragon’s dream world using a Mirage Pearl.

Even though the Yunmeng Dragon Sovereign had fallen for ten thousand years, the Superintendent still made preparations in advance and tried to see if he could find any traces using the Mirage Pearl.

The sky-blue Mirage Pearl in Superintendent’s hand flickered with a brilliant glow, the dreamy scenery inside began to continuously change as he walked around the ruins of the main hall with the pearl in his hand.

However, after a whole round, he saw no change and obtained no results.

The Superintendent furrowed his brows, preparing to put the Mirage Pearl away. However, his gaze suddenly fell onto the altar where the deity statue had originally been.

Slowly stepping onto the altar, the Mirage Pearl in the Superintendent’s hand suddenly burst forth with a bright radiance, and the scene before him began to change.

This was a calm lake enveloped by mist, where a local deity with a dragon head and human body, dressed in black and golden robes, sat on a flat boat, leisurely fishing with a rod in hand.

Beside the deity, a figure hidden in the mist was also holding a fishing rod, silently fishing.

” Is this a fragment of history from tens of thousands of years ago?”

“The local deity with the dragon head is Yunmeng Dragon Monarch, but who is the other person?”

The pupils of the Superintendent suddenly contracted. Before he could react, the deity’s fishing rod finally moved.

The calm lake stirred up ripples, and the sky changed its color. Beneath the tiny fishing rod seemed to be a prehistoric monstrous beast.

The flat boat bobbed up and down amid the waves, but the Dragon-headed deity appeared like a towering mountain suppressing everything. With just a slight lifting of his arm, the misty lake began to tremble.

An incomplete golden scroll was fished out of the lake and fell into the deity’s hand.

The dragon-headed deity appeared to be laughing heartily, chattering with the figure in the mist.

A moment later, the figure hidden in the mist also reeled something up from the lake, however, the thing was hidden by the swirling mist.

With a long sigh, the dragon-headed deity handed over the golden scroll he had fished up – as if conceding defeat – to the figure in the mist.

Realizing the extraordinariness of the golden scroll, the Superintendent instinctively stared at the broken golden scroll, trying to recognize the inscriptions on it.

The next moment, a brilliant light suddenly ascended from the shattered golden scroll. Gold light, sharp as a blade, followed the Superintendent’s gaze and cleaved at him. The illusion trembled at this moment.

In the outside world, on the flat boat of Lake Dongting, the Rain Invocation Divine Capacity Seed quietly emerged from Shen Yuan’s blood.

Shen Yuan felt a turbulence in his body’s blood and Qi, as if sensing something. He subconsciously turned his head towards Yunmeng Village.

In the Superintendent’s illusion, the ethereal figure, too, slowly turned its head, deep, unfathomable eyes meeting the Superintendent’s gaze.

In that instant, the Superintendent saw his reflection in those eyes.

“Impossible! This is clearly just a dream projected by the Mirage Pearl from an unknown number of years ago. How could he possibly see me across the boundaries of time and reality?”

The Superintendent was horrified. He watched as the Mirage Pearl shattered in his hand, and the illusion dissipated with it.

Standing still, the golden light was etched onto the illusory boundary by the golden scroll, carving a blade mark and piercing his pupil. Blood slowly seeped out from his eyes.

At this time, Liew Yuansong, who had gone to gather information, rushed back to the Dragon Sovereign Temple in a hurry. Even before stepping inside the temple, he said anxiously:

“Teacher Superintendent, I discovered that there exists a drama in Yunmeng Village that has been circulating for thousands of years. It tells the story of a banished immortal entering the Yunmeng Swampland and having a philosophical debate with the Dragon Monarch in a dream.

The name of the drama is – ‘Banished Immortal’s Discourse’!”
