Dragon-Marked War God

Chapter 2825

Breaking Reincarnation and Accomplishing Great Dao

“It has been a while since we last saw each other, Brother Jiang.”

Zi Xi smiled and said as he appeared in the white jade gorge.

“Brother Zi, do you know something about the Silver Dragon Fruit and the Ancient Iron Tree?”

Jiang Chen looked at Zi Xi and asked.

Zi Xi sighed and then said:

“My father once told me that Nan Hua The Enlightened was a peerless master during the ancient period. Before he died, he planted the Ling Long Treasure Tree. The tree was nourished by the great Dao between heaven and earth. It was also Nan Hua The Enlightened’s biggest achievement. However, the Ling Long Treasure Tree chose to safeguard Nan Hua and not to grow. After many many years, it could be considered as the second life of Nan Hua. Nan Hua also treats it as his own brother, child and best friend. However, since the great war between heaven and earth, Nan Hua suffered an unprecedented severe injury and the Ling Long Treasure Tree used up all of its essence to save him. Nan Hua managed to survive in the end, but the Ling Long Treasure Tree’s last Dao essence was stolen by others.

“I thought that the Ling Long Treasure Tree would recover and revive, but it never gained back any vitality ever since then. The tree has been here for more than a hundred thousand years. Even if it has died, its Dao essence is still extraordinary. Even an emperor realm expert would not be able to overcome its Dao. After spending his whole life, Nan Hua finally opened up to an overbearing Dao. But no one knew what that Dao was. In the end, Nan Hua died together with the person who stole the Dao essence of Ling Long Treasure Tree.

“Ever since then, Nan Hua no longer exists in the world. Nan Hua’s Nan Hua True Scripture has been a rumor and no one knows exactly where Nan Hua’s inheritance was. However, it is said that the place where the iron tree blossoms and Silver Dragon Fruit appear would be the place where Nan Hua passed away. This legend is not a secret at all in Lone Dragon County. However, no one knows the secret either. Silver Dragon Fruit is also part of the legend. This is a secret my father discovered in an unknown place in the Northern Cold Divine Region. Nan Hua The Enlightened was Zhuang Zhou in the ancient period. He knows the secret, however, he has not discovered anything throughout the countless years. My father has encountered the Ancient Iron Tree before, but there’s nothing.”

Zi Xi’s explanation had benefited Jiang Chen a lot. At least, he knew some part of the secret.

“Everyone knows about Silver Dragon Fruit but they don’t know about Nan Hua True Scripture. Nan Hua The Enlightened was the ruthless man, Zhuang Zhouzi, back in the ancient period. My father used to remind me not to tell anyone about this secret.”

“Thank you for letting me know, Brother Zi.”

Jiang Chen nodded, accepting Zi Xi’s kindness. When they raised their heads again, they realised that Xing Feng had already come out from the Ancient Iron Tree. His face carried a faint smile as if he was incomparably content. He walked out from the huge tree roots and eventually was turned into a smoke and nothing.

At the moment, both Jiang Chen and Zi Xi were stunned and took a cold breath in. Because they could sense that Xing Feng’s breath disappeared suddenly.

A charming young man who was holding a white jade fan and wearing white clothes stood up on the iron tree with his firm aura. He stared somewhere afar and looked calm. The divine light released from his eyes seemed like it’s going to purify all the contamination in the world. His arrival made Jiang Chen difficult to breathe. He was like an unchangeable Great Dao and his Qi was like part of heaven and earth. Jiang Chen knew that this person was not simple at all.

“Coincidentally, this beautiful zither has fifty strings. Each string, each fret reminds me of a year that has gone by. Life is a dream, mine seems illusory like those beautiful butterflies in Zhuang Zhouzi’s reverie. Once my love was like Wang Di who wished for Du Juan to come hold onto springtime. Suffering brings out tears in the vast sea under the bright moon that seems like pearls. Fond memories are like the Bluefield jade warmed in the sun that could volatilise. All emotions have become the past held only in remembrance, What could not be would never be, forever gone are the old times.”

The man’s voice was light and echoed between the void. Jiang Chen and Zi Xi indulged in his voice.

“What a melancholic poem. What a good ‘mine seems illusory like those beautiful butterflies in Zhuang Zhouzi’s reverie. Once my love was like Wang Di who wished for Du Juan to come hold onto springtime.’”

Jiang Chen started realising that the Wang Di Mountain refers to the emperor Zhuang Zhouzi. Du Juan and butterflies referred to the two ladies, Du Juan and Dieyi Fairy. Jiang Chen finally had some understanding of the context. The charming white-clothed guy looked somewhere far as if he was looking at the countless Azalea flowers and also those countless butterflies.

“Wang Di Mountain, never expected it’s like this. It is a poignant love story.”

Jiang Chen heaved a sigh. Zhuang Zhou was the Nan Hua. But Nan Hua had also made two women yearn for him for their whole lives.

“Who are you? Why are you here at Sea Moon Gorge?”

After a while, the guy looked at Jiang Chen and Zi Xi, and said with a soft voice. His aura was superior and extraordinary.

“I want that iron tree to blossom, to have white smoke come forth from a white jade. Are you Zhuang Zhou?”

Jiang Chen looked at the man and said.

“I guess so. Hehehe. You can call me Nan Hua. I want that iron tree to blossom, to have white smoke come forth from a white jade. I guess she wants to see me, right?”

Nan Hua sighed and shook his head as if he was contemplating.

“She invaded my lover’s body and wants me to come here to see you.”

Jiang Chen said deeply.

“You seem like not her match and was summoned by her to come here. I would like to see her too but unfortunately our relationship has already ended. We can only indulge in reminiscence only now. We have left no regret in our life. Everything has passed and changed.”

Nan Hua The Enlightened shook his head and said.

“I am going to give you a fortune that can console Du Juan and help Dieyi. It can also break the reincarnation and accomplish great Dao. What do you think?”

Nan Hua The Enlightened looked at Jiang Chen with his glaring eyes. Jiang Chen fell into contemplation.

At the moment, Zi Xi was very excited. Who Nan Hua The Enlightened was? He was Zhuang Zhouzi, the peerless master back in the ancient period. The Nan Hua True Scripture had been powerful and who would not want to get Nan Hua’s inheritance? Why did such a good thing never happen to him?

Nan Hua The Enlightened valued you and wanted to give you good fortune. It was the inheritance of the God Emperor master!

It was priceless! If Zi Xi was Jiang Chen, he would be thrilled and agreed immediately. But Jiang Chen was still in hesitation.

“Faster, say yes. Where in the world can you get such good things? Are you still considering it? If I were you, I would agree without thinking.”

Zi Xi said with a low voice and he was impatient.

“What do you think? Are you unwilling?”

Nan Hua looked at Jiang Chen.

“Alright.”

Jiang Chen nodded silently and looked at Nan Hua The Enlightened who smiled and felt satisfied.
