Chapter 326 The Journey of the Dragon Begins
After Gu Yuchuan and the Demon Queen Yunluan came out, the Demon Queen Yunluan left without saying anything. She had been very busy lately, with all the affairs of the Ten Thousand Demon City on her shoulders. It was already very difficult for her to accompany Gu Yuchuan on this trip.
Gu Yuchuan didn't say anything and set off directly. It was still quite a distance from Cangzhu River, so they needed to check it out beforehand.
The Cangzhu River is the second largest inland river in the entire Canglan Realm. It originates from the Xuantian Mountain and eventually flows into the South China Sea. Its total length exceeds 30,000 kilometers, spanning a vast area. It nurtures countless creatures, not only humans but also many animals. Water is always an essential element for the survival of living beings.
Countless aquatic creatures live in the Cangzhu River, but there are no powerful demon races in the Canglan Realm. Whether it is the Immortal Path or the Technological Immortal Sect, the attitude towards demon races is to kill them with all their might. However, it is said that there are a few demon races hidden deep in the Cangzhu River. After all, the wonders of nature cannot be fully explored by human beings. Even cultivators cannot know everything in the world, otherwise the Canglan Realm would not have been invaded.
Three days later, Gu Yuchuan arrived at the source of the Cangzhu River. The Tianshan City surrounding Xuantian Mountain had already been captured by the human race, so this place was still very safe. He stood at the source of the river, feeling the mysterious aura within. This source was filled with mysterious water laws, but ordinary people could not get close at all.
However, this violent and mysterious law of water, which appears violent to outsiders, is actually very beneficial to Gu Yuchuan. It even invites Gu Yuchuan to go in and explore. This is the benefit of his advanced water control talent. He is a water spirit, and anything related to water is very friendly to him.
In a flash, he arrived at the source of the Cangzhu River. He began to comprehend the water laws here. The water laws of the Cangzhu River were different from those Gu Yuchuan had felt before. The water power he now possessed mostly contained ice and attack, and was imbued with a strong killing attribute. It was also the most powerful part of the water laws in terms of attack power.
However, the water law in the Pearl River is different. It is very gentle, even warm, making people feel very comfortable, and even nurturing life. This is actually a very important part of the water law, also known as "the highest good is like water". Water can give birth to some living things, and all life cannot exist without water.
Gu Yuchuan had a premonition that if he could understand these things, it would greatly benefit his cultivation. However, he was still far from comprehending the laws. Laws were something that one could only begin to comprehend at the Nascent Soul stage. To comprehend them at the Nascent Soul stage was already very impressive. To comprehend them at the Core Formation stage was to be an absolute genius. As for the Golden Core stage, it was simply impossible. Forcibly comprehending them would only result in being assimilated.
He stopped dwelling on the power of this law. He would keep the feeling to himself and try to understand it again later when his cultivation level improved. Now, he was going to start gathering water.
He first took out the authority over the Cloud Sea Marsh given to him by the Demon Lord. This authority contained a great deal of power, including the power of water and the power of clouds. After he summoned it, the surrounding water began to obey his commands. However, this was still somewhat inconvenient compared to controlling the water with his own magic power. It was very stiff, and there was a delay in the control. This was definitely not acceptable. Anyone who has used a computer knows that if there is a delay, how can you operate it? It is definitely not going to work.
He immediately activated his water manipulation talent. After combining the two, controlling the water flow became much more comfortable and he was able to do it with ease. That was enough. He controlled the water flow, and the water level slowly rose.
At the source of the Pearl River, the water level is actually very low, but under Gu Yuchuan's control, the water level has risen too much. From a distance, it is clear that this is a major disaster.
He transformed into his true form, stirring up the nearby waters. An endless stream of water gushed forth from its source, and following Gu Yuchuan, they began to move forward. The journey of the dragon had finally begun.
In the Celestial Palace, the Celestial Venerable felt his breathing become labored, and he began to gasp for air. He knew that something extremely unfavorable must have happened, but he didn't know what it was. He started to calculate, but he couldn't figure anything out, so he started cursing.
"Since the start of the war, this art of divination has been as good as non-existent. It can't calculate anything. Heaven, you must have some ability. How can you let someone make your art of divination so ineffective?"
The Heavenly Dao was also quite aggrieved. It was being so suppressed by four Nascent Soul stage experts—whose fault was it? Their Canglan Realm was merely a low-level minor world, and the Heavenly Dao's power was very small. Although it could defeat Nascent Soul stage experts, it lacked a physical form. With four of them suppressing it, it truly had no way to do anything. The Heavenly Dao even wanted to curse the Immortal Venerable and Venerable Faming for consuming so much of its Heavenly Dao essence, but to no avail. If it hadn't used that essence, it wouldn't have been suppressed to this state.
Since the Immortal Venerable couldn't figure it out, he could only send people to investigate. However, he didn't have many people he could use now, as everyone was on the battlefield. There were already few high-level cultivators in the Canglan Realm, so only by sending everyone out could the current situation be stabilized.
Gu Yuchuan had already begun his ascent. He could see the towering river in the distance. Not far from him was a forest farm, where many spiritual fruits were planted. The first pass he had to overcome was this forest farm.
The water was very close before the people in the forest realized what was happening. The person in charge of the forest was called Xuanyou Zhenren, a cultivator at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage. After sensing the water, he immediately came out.
Looking at the water level, which was even higher than their formation, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, unsure of how to resolve the crisis before him. He knew he couldn't be afraid; he could only force himself to calm down. He immediately activated the defensive formation and went outside.
Looking at the dragon in the giant waves, his face turned extremely ugly: "Monster, what are you doing? If you have the guts, attack! Hiding in the giant waves like this, I'll kill you!"
Gu Yuchuan didn't care what he was saying at all. Now, he had his own procedures to follow: "Humans, retreat. Turn this place into a new riverbed. As long as you get out of here, I promise I won't kill you."
The essence of "walking the dragon" is to open up new waterways around inland rivers, increasing the proportion of water in the world. After all, water and dragons are already connected; more water makes dragons more powerful. Therefore, the process of "walking the dragon" is the process of opening up new waterways. Killing people is not the goal. Of course, it doesn't mean opening up a river that is tens of thousands of kilometers long, as that's impossible. Opening up a large tributary or lake would be quite remarkable.
