Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#569 - Prophet

The Dragon Wizard Wu Tao's gaze was like the brightest star in the night sky, deep and sharp. He slowly extended his palm, holding a gem in its center.

That gem was extraordinary, as if it had condensed the myriad colors of the world, bursting forth with a multicolored crystal luster amidst the interplay of light and shadow, each ray containing ancient and mysterious power.

He gently closed his eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he began to chant an ancient and drawn-out Dragon language at the crystal. It was a language transcending the mortal realm, containing the wisdom and power of the Dragon race.

Even powerful races like humans and demons were helpless against it. Only true dragons, or those with special opportunities, could glimpse its mysteries.

However, this secret ritual did not escape Li Chengfeng's keen senses.

He had already transformed into the Voidfire War Dragon, his figure agile, his scales shimmering with dazzling red light in the sunlight, the unique brilliance of the Willow Dragon Sacred bloodline. Its nobility and power were beyond the reach of ordinary true dragons.

He quietly lurked not far away, his eyes filled with both vigilance and curiosity, like a hunter poised to strike, quietly observing the movements ahead.

As the Dragon Wizard's Dragon language became more impassioned, the air seemed to be filled with an ancient and solemn aura. Every syllable, every intonation, fell precisely into Li Chengfeng's ears, and then was deeply imprinted in his heart.

At this moment, he seemed to be guided by a mysterious force. The vague memories in his mind about the Voidfire War Dragon's talents, like a lake surface caressed by the spring breeze, instantly rippled and became clear.

The flames within him boiled as a result, suddenly shaking, as if some new power was gestating within him, eager to break out.

Li Chengfeng had already considered the advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.

He knew that this was not just an increase in cultivation, but also a profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. He planned to use the secret technique Nine Infant Art, supplemented by the ancient Nine Infant secret technique he had just obtained, even though he had already given some of his blood essence to the little fox demon Yao Qi and the Frog Sage.

But he had his own plans. He secretly retained a portion, precisely so that when advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he could use this power to reach an unprecedented height.

"The Nine Infants have nine heads, why can't I have nine Nascent Souls?" This thought quietly took root in his heart, giving rise to a bold and crazy plan.

But he also understood that the road to advancing to the Nascent Soul was full of thorns, far from being as simple as Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation.

What he needed to do was to comprehend the changes in heaven and earth. Although he could not fully understand the rules, he had to strive to be in harmony with heaven and earth, and gain the approval of the heavenly way, in order to cross this crucial threshold.

The Nascent Soul stage was an important milestone on the path of cultivation. Once crossed, one's lifespan would double, and one's strength would leap in quality.

The transformation of the Golden Core into a Nascent Soul was like the birth of an infant, pure and flawless, yet containing infinite possibilities. Its speed was so fast that it could be compared to the changes in the wind and clouds between heaven and earth.

As the Dragon Wizard Wu Tao chanted the incantation, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and those eyes that had once shone with brilliant light now became dull and lifeless.

The Dragon Crystal in his hand, the gem that had once gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, now slowly turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into nothingness.

Dragon Wizard Wu Tao's hand trembled slightly, his face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "We must retreat. According to the Dragon Crystal's prediction, this operation is likely to encounter an unprecedented crisis."

Hearing this, the Evil Charm sneered and questioned, "An ambush? Could it be that Li Chengfeng has set up an ambush above, waiting for us to walk right into it?"

His words contained some disbelief, but also some fear of Li Chengfeng's cunning methods.

The Fire Demon Clan's Supreme Elder, Huo Yu, said in a low and firm voice, "With Li Chengfeng's character and methods, this is not impossible.

But the question is, why should we actively step into his trap? Why not go the other way and launch a surprise attack from underground, directly destroying the foundation on which they depend for survival?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

The Evil Charm even patted the Demon Clan Supreme Elder Huo Yu on the shoulder excitedly and praised, "Good plan! We will gather the strength of everyone to destroy the magma veins beneath this place, plunging Extreme West City into a sea of fire and earthquakes. All their arrangements will be in vain."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Huo Yu's eyes as he echoed, "That's right. At that time, they will inevitably fall into chaos and despair. Even if we can't catch Li Chengfeng, we can still severely damage them.

Once we destroy their foundation, and then launch an attack in one fell swoop, we will be able to descend like divine soldiers and completely defeat them."

However, Dragon Wizard Wu Tao shook his head and sighed, worriedly saying, "Although I don't want to spoil everyone's enthusiasm, the warning of the Great Prophecy cannot be ignored.

According to the prophecy, retreat is the best option.

Elder Huo Yu's plan is clever, but it is also too risky, and I am afraid that it will fall into a greater crisis."

Hearing this, the Evil Charm frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Dragon Wizard, your Great Prophecy is strong, but it is not foolproof.

We now have a large army in our hands, and we also have such a brilliant plan, why should we be so timid? If we really let that Li Chengfeng succeed, what will become of the face of our Demon Clan and even the entire Sea Domain Alliance?"

His words were full of unwillingness and determination, as if he had already seen Li Chengfeng's panicked appearance in the lava and earthquake, and the prestige of the Sea Domain Alliance being re-established because of this battle.

Dragon Wizard Wu Tao's face was uncertain, and his heart was like a churning ocean, turbulent and undulating.

He knew that the warning of the prophecy could not be ignored, but the plan of the National Teacher and the Supreme Elder was equally tempting.

After much deliberation, he finally made a decision, and his eyes became firm and resolute.

"You are right," Dragon Wizard Wu Tao said in a deep voice, "Li Chengfeng must have laid a dragnet above, and we will only walk into it if we rashly rush out.

But as Elder Huo Yu said, the outcome of the war often depends on the use of the earth's veins and mountains. If we can launch an attack from underground and cut off the fuel from under the cauldron, we will definitely catch him off guard and throw him into chaos."

Hearing this, the Evil Charm laughed loudly, expressing his appreciation for the Dragon Wizard's decision: "Dragon Wizard, you are indeed our true mastermind, responsible and far-sighted. Those human bastards.

They think they are great just because they have won a few battles, but they don't know that our Demon Clan will never give up easily.

When we descend like divine soldiers from underground, they will naturally be scared and run away, and those high-level people will run even faster than rabbits.

As for those low-level cultivators, they are just their cannon fodder, just right for us to wipe them out in one fell swoop. At that time, Li Chengfeng's true colors will be completely exposed, and he will become the target of public criticism. Whether it is within the human race or other races, they will regard him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh."

The Fire Demon Clan's Supreme Elder Huo Yu gritted his teeth even more, filled with anger: "This person has an irreconcilable feud with my Fire Demon Clan. He destroyed the foundation of my Fire Demon Clan in the human world. If I don't avenge this, I swear I will not be human!

The above has already issued a death order to capture Li Chengfeng and take back the Extreme West Land.

Otherwise, all eight of our elders will face severe punishment.

This time, we must not only complete the task, but also make Li Chengfeng pay a heavy price!"

The other Demon Clan elders also shared the same hatred and expressed that they would go all out and spare no expense to bring Li Chengfeng to justice.

The anger in their hearts erupted like a volcano, vowing to make the human race pay a heavy price for their arrogance and conceit.
