Chapter 1229 Nine Dragon Veins
Hearing the words of the Qingzhou Governor, Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement and quickly asked:
“What method?”
“Utilize the nine dragon veins!”
Ming De Zhenren said word by word.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s expression immediately became unsettled.
When the Human Emperor’s remnant soul departed, he had instructed Lin Feng to guard the nine dragon veins carefully, as they were the foundation of Great Xia’s national fortune, and must never be seized by enemies!
He also said that if they truly couldn’t be protected, they shouldn’t benefit others!
But in the current situation…
Ming De Zhenren seemed to perceive Lin Feng’s thoughts and immediately patted his shoulder, sighing:
“The nine dragon veins were left by the Human Emperor for future generations! And you are the most outstanding talent since the modern era, so if you absorb the power of the nine dragons, all of us old fellows approve!”
“That’s right! Lin Feng, don’t carry any burden in your heart!”
“If you can absorb the power of the nine dragons, your strength will certainly leap to another level, and when you go to fight at North God Mountain, you’ll have a better chance of victory!”
The other governors spoke up one after another.
Lin Feng clenched and unclenched his fist, finding it difficult to decide.
“If I absorb all nine dragon veins, what will happen to Great Xia?”
“As long as you don’t die, Great Xia will be fine! After absorbing the nine dragon veins, the nation’s fortune will strengthen you. If you achieve immortality in the future, it will greatly benefit Great Xia as well, through reciprocity!”
“But what if I die?”
“If you die, Great Xia’s national fortune will collapse, and it probably won’t last much longer!”
Ming De Zhenren responded very honestly.
Lin Feng was stunned by these words!
The journey to North God Mountain was already a matter of life and death!
Should he gamble a nation’s fate for his own affairs?
“Lin Feng, you’ve changed! Become indecisive, not as resolute as before! You used to love gambling…”
One governor said with a complicated expression.
The former Lin Feng was respected as the Blood Mist King, Headshot King, Vocal Technique King, and as the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, how domineering was he? Leading people to destroy the Japanese nation, confronting the God Clan, pressing those God Clan leaders until they couldn’t raise their heads!
But now,
The young man before them seemed to have had his edges worn smooth by life!
“I can gamble with my own life, but how can I gamble with a nation’s fate? The lives of over a billion people hanging on my single life.”
Lin Feng’s voice trembled.
“We naturally know all this, yet still agree to let you absorb the power of the nine dragons. Do you know why?”
The Nine Provinces Governors paused, then said in unison:
“Because we believe in you, believe you can create miracles. Every race has a person of destiny, and you are the destined one of our human race! We are willing to bet on you! Even if we lose, we won’t regret it…”
With words spoken to this extent!
What more could Lin Feng say?
He had never felt such complex emotions as he did now.
He knew he had truly changed, but after experiencing so much, how could he not change?
Once he had been carefree, without attachments,
But now, he carried too many burdens. These burdens were both motivation and weight!
In the end,
Lin Feng still didn’t choose to directly absorb the nine dragon veins.
He went to Penglai Fairy Island, intending to ask Emperor Xuanyuan’s opinion!
Penglai Fairy Island was home to one of the four great Daoist families of Great Xia – the Xuanyuan family.
In the reception hall,
Lin Feng explained his purpose to a group of core members of the Xuanyuan family.
The Xuanyuan elders respected and admired Lin Feng, but were also shocked about the plan to attack North God Mountain. After much discussion, they decided to summon their ancestor – Emperor Xuanyuan!
In the corner,
The Xuanyuan family’s little princess, Xuanyuan Zhiruo, silently watched Lin Feng.
Several years had passed without seeing him, and she had become more charming. Wearing a black gauze dress with her black hair pinned up, her bright eyes and white teeth made her like a lotus emerging from water, pure and flawless.
She recalled the scene when she first met Lin Feng.
How spirited and magnificent that young man had been, wielding his sword to defeat all talents, with none of the world’s heroes worthy of his attention!
But now,
Years later, meeting again today,
This man’s face was filled with fatigue and melancholy, his messy stubble adding several traces of vicissitude.
“The Void Realm is truly a place that tempers people!”
“He must have suffered greatly these years, right?”
Xuanyuan Zhiruo thought silently.
Like many talented women who admired Lin Feng, she kept all her affection hidden in her heart, letting it scatter with the wind, only occasionally remembering in her memories that once there was an invincible man who stole her heart.
Things don’t always go as one wishes, and liking someone doesn’t mean you must pursue or obtain them!
“Have you been well these years?”
Lin Feng noticed Xuanyuan Zhiruo’s gaze and managed a smile on his tired face.
“I’ve been fine! And you?”
Xuanyuan Zhiruo’s oval face instantly flushed red.
“It’s hard to explain.”
Lin Feng sighed.
“It’s okay, things will get better, everything will be better in the future… I believe in you! You’re Lin Feng who fears nothing!”
Xuanyuan Zhiruo waved her small fist, cheering for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng couldn’t help but smile,
But he shook his head slightly, without saying anything more.
Soon after,
A powerful Dao sound resonated in everyone’s ears:
“Come alone to the depths of the island to see me!”
Emperor Xuanyuan had spoken.
Lin Feng felt inevitably excited. He rose to bid farewell to the Xuanyuan family members and followed the guidance of Emperor Xuanyuan’s aura, rushing toward the depths of the island.
Soon,
Lin Feng arrived at the center of the island.
Here was a clear lake, in the middle of which was a small island of only a few hundred square meters. On the island stood a simple wooden cabin, clean and neat.
“A lake within the sea, an island within an island, truly a perfect domain layout!!”
Lin Feng pondered briefly, stepped forward, and respectfully said:
“Junior Lin Feng pays respects to Elder Xuanyuan!”
Emperor Xuanyuan was the foremost figure of the human race since the Human Emperor, with unfathomable strength, and was a hero worshipped by all Great Xia humans for generations. So by all accounts, Lin Feng had to show the utmost respect!
“Crack!”
The wooden cabin door was pushed open from the outside.
An elderly man wearing plain clothes with white hair appeared before Lin Feng.
Lin Feng’s gaze became somewhat lost.
During the battle with Japan, Emperor Xuanyuan had been surrounded by Dao rhymes, making his true appearance difficult to discern. With his Purple Gold Pupil technique, Lin Feng had vaguely glimpsed that Emperor Xuanyuan should be a majestic and solemn man.
But how was the person before him a frail old man?
“Before the Human Emperor left, he told me that if you returned from the Void Realm seeking my help, I should assist you in absorbing the dragon veins…”
Emperor Xuanyuan spoke directly.
“Elder…”
Lin Feng found it difficult to speak.
“I am old, my broken body not yet ready to emerge into the world, so I cannot go to the Void Realm to fight for you. The dragon veins are your only chance, and this is also the greatest backup plan left by the Human Emperor!”
“But remember, on the path to immortality, what’s strong is always the person, not external objects! If you want to use the dragon veins to ascend in one step, it will instead harm you!”
After speaking, Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand.
In the distant Great Xia, across the Nine Provinces,
Instantly, thunder rolled, and nine golden dragons roared out from ten thousand feet underground.
