Chapter 628: Chapter 29: Ancient God Attaining the Dao?

Delve into the world of the Dragon Monarch.

Li Boyang’s lips curled slightly, as if completely unaware of what was happening on the other side of the time vortex.

Until he arrived at the center of this world, near a towering Crystal Palace constructed in the water.

Compared to the Crystal Palaces seen along the way.

This particular Crystal Palace appeared exceptionally grand, with a statue of the Dragon Monarch — Ji Meng — erected at its center.

Coupled with the sight of countless Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals on alert, and a scene of dragon sons and grandsons coming and going, it was a bustling and prosperous scene.

More importantly, the intelligence of these Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, dragon sons and grandsons universally met the threshold for wisdom creatures.

They had clear occupational divisions, displayed different personalities, and in daily life, there were instances of cunning and verbal sparring among them.

If according to the Mountain People’s classification of wisdom creatures, the creatures of this Crystal Palace definitely qualified for inclusion in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range system.

"It’s truly a pity!"

Looking at that Crystal Palace, Li Boyang sighed with regret.

"What is there to pity?"

"They were born because of me, and thus should naturally die for me."

As if responding to Li Boyang’s words, the figure of Dragon Monarch Ji Meng appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

"Moreover, for the rise of the Water Race, these are but necessary sacrifices."

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang did not argue, instead seriously scrutinizing the Dragon Monarch Ji Meng opposite him.

"I can understand your desire to have these Water Races replace the Human Race as the protagonists of the next era."

"But with your power and wisdom, is it truly necessary to be so urgent?"

The Celestial Eye at the brow slowly opened, Li Boyang gazing at the opposite Dragon Monarch Ji Meng, yet he did not see traces of the other in alternate eras.

As if... the other was not a Pathfinder from other eras?

By normal procedure, Pathfinders ascend to the pinnacle of their own era, and then proceed to other time-spaces to replicate the process of pathfinding.

If venturing to parallel time-space, it is handling one’s destiny.

If venturing to past time-space, it is rewriting one’s origin.

If venturing to future time-space, it is concluding one’s fate.

No matter which of these situations, Li Boyang was confident they could not escape his eyes.

However, the Dragon Monarch Ji Meng before him was entirely different.

Li Boyang did not see any traces related to the Dragon Monarch or Ji Meng in other temporal spaces.

This Dragon Monarch only exists in this era, only exists now in the Six Desire Heavens.

Yet, if you say Dragon Monarch Ji Meng is a Pathfinder nurtured in this era.

His birth and growth trajectory completely do not align with a normal cultivator’s situation.

From a mere member of the Water Race growing to today’s Dragon Monarch, Ji Meng’s life trajectory was smooth and unimpeded.

Be it in cultivation speed or wisdom, it perfectly fits the experience of a Pathfinder reincarnating to cultivate anew and finding a second path.

Most importantly, Ji Meng never hid the kind of wisdom and experience that did not match his own experiences.

Li Boyang was no fool; he knew Pathfinders didn’t only originate from the future.

Just breaking the inertia of the River of Time to descend from the past to the present, this difficulty is much greater than ordinary pathfinding.

Specific details reference Celestial Emperor Hao, that unlucky fellow; he serves as a model trapped in the River of Time.

So then the question arises, under the circumstances where there have been no changes in the River of Time.

Which Ancient Gods were able to traverse time-space and cause such a commotion in this era?

[So... where did it go wrong?]

Such a thought involuntarily flashed in his mind.

Just as Li Boyang was about to raise his hand to calculate, Ji Meng had already initiated an attack.

Boom!

Holding Thunder, transforming into lightning.

Ji Meng rushed toward Li Boyang with lightning speed, causing the ocean of the world to surge with ten thousand-foot-high waves.

The Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, dragon sons and grandsons did not know what had happened.

They could only watch helplessly as the Crystal Palace suddenly trembled, with countless chasms cracking open beneath their feet.

"This fighting style... why does it look so familiar?"

Just lightly removed the Qiankun Ring from his wrist and casually tossed it forward.

A golden ring appeared right in front of Li Boyang, perfectly blocking the path Ji Meng must take.

"Huh?"

Caught off guard, Ji Meng plunged headfirst into the light ring.

When he realized and wanted to turn back, he was astonished to find himself in an infinite starry sky.

The Stars of the Celestial Sphere shone brightly, and with a strange array trapped him.

— The Grand Array of Celestial Sphere Stars!

"Against you, there’s no need for my teacher to intervene."

Just as Ji Meng was at a loss, the Taiyin Star inside the Grand Array of Celestial Sphere Stars suddenly shone brightly.

Then, Wang Shu emerged from the Taiyin Star, still holding a sharp Seven-Star Treasure Sword.

"Your true opponent is me!"

Currently, Wang Shu is only a step away from pathfinding.

And the starry sky inside the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror is her home field, dealing with a mere Dragon Monarch naturally isn’t a problem.

At the very least, Wang Shu believed this, having ample confidence in her own strength.

"Are you insulting me?"

Turning to look at the shrinking golden ring, Ji Meng couldn’t help but roar.

Though Ji Meng knew he might not be a match for the Tao Ancestor.

But he always believed that with appropriate conditions, he qualified to fight against them.

For this, he even went as far as to prematurely expose the existence of the water world, luring the Tao Ancestor into his home field.

Yet he never thought, Li Boyang would use the Qiankun Ring to shift time and space, tossing him into the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror.

For the proud and self-assured Ji Meng, this was an utterly humiliating affair.

"I merely disdain to kill someone seeking ’suicide’. "

At the very last moment of the Qiankun Ring’s closing, Li Boyang’s voice clearly reached Ji Meng’s ear.

"Even if you are the Tao Ancestor..."

Upon witnessing this, Ji Meng transformed into a thousand-foot-long giant dragon, roaring as he tried to charge once more into the Qiankun Ring.

However, having waited long, how could Wang Shu simply let this opponent slip away?

Clang!

When the crisp sound of clashing metal echoed across the starry sky.

The stars across the firmament instantly shifted, and almost endless void in that moment transformed into a tangible sensation of pressure.

"Your opponent is me!"

With a cold gaze staring at the motionless Ji Meng, excitement and battle intent flickered in Wang Shu’s eyes.

Since setting up the Grand Array of Celestial Sphere Stars, Wang Shu had yet to truly wield its power.

Now, having encountered a Dragon Monarch with such refining spirit and returning to void prowess.

Wang Shu wanted to know if, with the support of the Grand Array of Celestial Sphere Stars, she had already gained the strength to match a Pathfinder.

"Wang Shu, I know you."

"Since you wish to challenge above your level, I will fully accompany you!"

In this scene, no matter Ji Meng’s unwillingness, he had no choice but to focus all his energy on Wang Shu.

In an instant, that thousand-foot dragon body twisted and expanded.

And within a few breaths, a dragon coiling in the starry sky was born.

The stars were but toys in its hands, and the sun and moon’s brilliance wasn’t any more dazzling than the dragon pearl beneath its jaw.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Stars shimmered, celestial light spilled forth.

The beings within the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror lifted their heads, gazing skyward with astonishment at the irregular rotation of the sun, moon, and stars.

Especially that dragon competing with the stars for brilliance.

Its figure and strength were deeply engraved in the depths of all beings’ hearts.
