Chapter 649: Chapter 14: Heaven’s Peerless Dragon, Heaven and Earth Net

Under the leadership of Ying Long, with the cooperation of the High Priest.

The Longbo Giants’ series of plans and actions were carried out smoothly.

When Li Boyang arrived at the center of the archipelago, he immediately noticed those simplistic, primitive, yet complete ultra-large weaving machines.

Those weaving machines utilized the most primitive mechanical structure, not even having an extra gear.

Yet, relying on the terrifying strength of the Longbo Giants.

These weaving machines spun rapidly, weaving bundles of "Smoke and Cloud Gauze" into strong threads.

Most of those who stayed in the center of the archipelago were female Longbo Giants.

Their numbers weren’t great, but they worked meticulously and conscientiously.

From the initial setup of the weaving machines, to now being able to flexibly utilize them, they only took less than three days.

Amidst the threads woven from "Smoke and Cloud Gauze," one could vaguely see traces of gold filaments intertwined.

Those golden threads were the favorite food of the Āo creatures—gold gel.

This gold gel not only had an unusual attraction to the Āo creatures but also greatly enhanced the toughness of "Smoke and Cloud Gauze" itself.

"Did you teach them this?"

With a bit of surprise, Li Boyang turned to look at Xiluo beside him.

At this moment, Xiluo had already returned to her bobcat form and was lazily scratching her claws on a nearby big tree.

"I don’t have the leisure for this."

"It was all taught by your good student."

Hearing this, Li Boyang calculated on his fingers and immediately understood who the "good student" referred to.

It made sense, considering Xiluo’s personality, she would’ve lacked the patience to teach the Longbo Giants how to build weaving machines.

Moreover, the technique of incorporating gold gel into "Smoke and Cloud Gauze" was clearly not something Xiluo would bother to learn.

Only Ying Long, who was valued by the East Sea God Yugguo and taken as an apprentice by Wu Zhen, could know so much.

It’s no exaggeration to say that even in the talent-abundant Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Ying Long was renowned for his extensive knowledge.

In terms of cultivation, he had achieved perfection in both Essence and Qi Paths and was seeking a breakthrough to Refining Spirit and Returning to Void.

In wisdom, he was well-versed in medicine, mechanics, formation arrays, and Alchemy Dao, known as a learned scholar far and wide.

The key point was, despite Ying Long’s aloof nature, he almost never refused help from any mountain people or gods.

Even outsiders could receive his promise, as long as they met Ying Long’s conditions.

"It seems Ying Long has finally overcome his confidence issues."

Unable to resist, Li Boyang sighed, his tone filled with a sense of relief.

Among the many people Li Boyang had interacted with, Ying Long’s talent was undeniably the strongest.

Even Golden Horn and Silver Horn fell slightly short in terms of pure talent compared to Ying Long.

Born with the power of Thousand Transformations and the mastery of wind and thunder, with the top-tier Divine Artifact "Red Eye Tripod" within, and the teachings of Li Boyang, Yugguo, and Wu Zhen.

Ying Long should’ve been the earliest among the new generation to achieve enlightenment.

However, due to various manipulations by the Xuansu Clan, Ying Long developed intense self-doubt and insecurity.

Ying Long believed he was born as a "tool."

He wondered whether his parents ever loved him?

Did he need to show sufficient value to gain his parents’ love?

Such insecurity and self-doubt could be fatal to any cultivator.

Ying Long’s ability to penetrate the Divine Gate of Essence and Qi paths despite having an unstable Tao Heart was already a testament to his extraordinary talent.

As for the Divine Path and Heart Path?

It would likely take Ying Long regaining his confidence for there to be any chance of a breakthrough.

"Hmph, ultimately, all of this is still your fault."

"In our birth era, how could the children be so fragile mentally?"

Hearing Xiluo’s complaints, Li Boyang habitually rolled his eyes.

"Indeed, in your era, the mentally fragile would’ve died early."

"Not only the mentally fragile, but even those not physically strong would’ve perished."

The era before Li Boyang was pure survival of the fittest, a time of predation and competition.

A genius like Ying Long, with his exceptional talents requiring long-term growth, would’ve perished in infancy.

In other words, from Xiluo’s perspective, there was never a concept of late bloomers or the reclusive genius.

True strength should signify talents and dominance from a young age, like Wu Yao and Li Boyang.

"By the way, what else did Ying Long teach them?"

"Why do I feel more and more like those things are turning into fishing nets?"

Initially, Li Boyang thought these female Longbo Giants were weaving fishing lines.

However, the more he watched, the stranger it seemed—these Longbo Giants weren’t merely weaving fishing lines.

"Have you finally noticed?"

Already aware, Xiluo chuckled.

"Did you think your students would all be obedient kids?"

"Ying Long calls this the ’Heaven and Earth Net,’ and those gold gels aren’t just for attracting Āo creatures and strengthening the ’Smoke and Cloud Gauze’."

At this point, Xiluo paused slightly.

"Gold gel is originally a crystallization from underground veins, possessing strong conductivity."

"Combined with wind and hydropower devices, this ’Heaven and Earth Net’ can ensnare all the Āo creatures in this sea region."

"Of course, the downside is other creatures in this sea region would also be affected."

After hearing Xiluo’s explanation, Li Boyang fell silent instantly.

As mentioned by the other, what the Longbo Giants were preparing wasn’t just for fishing Āo creatures.

This clearly was the mythological version of "electric grid fishing"!

Infusing billions of volts into the sea, even the Celestial God would likely be unable to endure the power of this "Heaven and Earth Net."

"Is there anything else I don’t know? Just say it all at once!"

A moment later, Li Boyang looked at Xiluo and sighed helplessly.

"Haha, if only your mind didn’t work so quickly."

"Don’t worry, Ying Long isn’t crazy enough to ensnare all marine life in this sea region."

"Your student has already communicated with the East Sea Dragon Race; they will be responsible for clearing the creatures from this sea region."

After hesitantly gazing at Xiluo for a long time, Li Boyang suddenly realized he had been focusing all his attention on Luo Qiao these days, neglecting many things.

"I suppose the ’communication’ you mentioned wasn’t just negotiation, right?"

"After today, wouldn’t your ’Jasper Pool Celestial Book’ have additional dragon god names?"

In response, Xiluo simply smiled lightly.

"You guessed wrong this time; my ’Jasper Pool Celestial Book’ has already recorded their names."
