Blood Moon Hunters - Chapter 285
Chapter 285 The Peculiar Dragon Qi
Above the Great Wall in the Imperial City…
“Ugh!!”
Wang Bugui was trying his best to urge the movement of his prana power. The Dragon Qi lured out of the ground by him was circling near the ground. He wanted to collect some of it, but he failed.
A formidable power was preventing him from doing that. Wang Bugui had the feeling that the power came from Emperor Qin Shihuang!
His soul was quivering out of fear. The power was so intense that a small part of it was able to stop him easily.
Few people in the world were equal in force with Wang Bugui, especially after he had become a Greater Power. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to beat a middle stage Greater Power, but he knew he could at least survive the fight, unless his opponent was Zi Yuxiao.
He could fight with his Master, Leng Shuangrong, Clara, and Field and beat them, or at least escaped unscathed.
That was how powerful he could be. But now, he felt so small compared to Qin Shihuang.
“So that’s the power of a real emperor.”
Wang Bugui sighed and gritted his teeth. The power was beyond his imagination. He felt as weak as an ant in front of it, and would be eliminated in any second. Given that pressure, he wondered how powerful the true immortals could be.
The gap between ordinary people and emperors was as huge as that between mortals and immortals.
“I don’t believe this!”
Wang Bugui wouldn’t allow himself to be frustrated by those ideas. He immediately stopped thinking about it because he wanted to be proud and invincible, even when his opponent was Emperor Qin Shihuang.
He applied the Universal Reversal method supplemented by the Eight Limits Universal Order. That was the best he could do. Now that he couldn’t collect the Dragon Qi, he should at least figure out why the Dragon Qi had disappeared.
“Whoosh!”
Just then, a more powerful strength emerged and started to resist Wang Bugui’s invasion.
“Kaboom!”
Wang Bugui frowned as he felt the Great Wall’s power growing. He had to isolate the place from the adjacent area to keep the ground steady, or their confrontation might cause an earthquake.
A moment later, Chu He asked him using telepathy, “Bugui, I’ve already arrived. What should I do now?”
“Distribute my blood to them. I need you guys to split up and go respectively to Jiayuguan, Shanhaiguan, and Yumenguan. Please activate the Dragon Qi there! I’ll get all the other things under control!”
The three people moved as soon as they understood what Wang Bugui said. Chu He was going to stay in Jiayuguan, Ning Zhe was leaving for Yumenguan, and Leng Yueyan was going to Shanhaiguan.
“Let’s give it a try!”
Wang Bugui summoned countless duplicates of himself and sent them to other relics of the Great Walls in Hua Xia. Each of the duplicates teamed up with two others so that they wouldn’t be shattered by the Dragon Qi easily.
“The Dragon Qi of the Qin dynasty is indeed powerful. I’ll have to look into it today!”
Then he increased the power he was sending out. He wanted to lure out all the Dragon Qi in the earth. Right at that moment, golden auras rose above in many different places in Hua Xia.
Wang Bugui was in Juyongguan. The Dragon Qi there was much more powerful than any other place. There were also seven places where the Dragon Qi was superior, which were Zijinguan, Shanhaiguan, Yanmenguan, Niangziguan, Piantouguan, Yumenguan, and Jiayuguan.
Those were the most crucial passes of the Great Wall. The difference between the intensity of their Dragon Qi was new to Wang Bugui. He had been to all the passes of the Great Wall, big or small, among which eight passes stood out because of their abundant aura.
He didn’t know how that happened, but he was sure that the eight passes had something to do with Taoism.
He felt it odd because only Juyongguan, Zijingguan, and Yanmenguan had connections with Emperor Qin Shihuang.
The rest of the passes had little to do with the emperor. Why would the Dragon Qi of the Qin dynasty occupy so many other passes along the Great Wall?
The Dragon Qi of the Qin dynasty was supposed to stay within the part of the Great Wall built in the Qin dynasty, or some of it would stay in the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang.
“Let’s try harder to lure out all the Dragon Qi in it!”
As Wang Bugui commanded, other people pushed themselves to the limit. All the problems would be solved as long as the Dragon Qi showed itself. Wang Bugui needed to reveal mystery at the soonest.
His fellows and duplicates increased the intensity of their spiritual strength when they heard what he said.
“Growl!”
The roar of a dragon echoed above the Great Wall. All the people and Wang Bugui’s duplicates heard the sound. The Dragon Qi beneath the earth’s surface went wild.
“Zoom!”
The Dragon Qi gave out glorious lights and flew to Juyongguan.
“Ah! What’s that?”
Zhao Changge looked up into the sky and saw those powerful golden light flying over his head. Next to him, Zhao Yun looked concerned and urged, “Let’s catch up with the lights!”
Zhao Yun then set off and floated in the sky, followed closely by Zhao Changge, who then asked, “General Zilong, what’s going on?”
“That’s Dragon Qi! It’s the Dragon Qi from the Qin dynasty if my guess is right. That will explain why it felt so powerful. Only Emperor Qin Shihuang had this unique power!”
Zhao Yun’s brows were knitted. He had once felt the Dragon Qi of the Han dynasty, but it was so much weaker than the one that was above his head. Emperor Qin Shihuang was the only person he could think of.
The founding father of the Han dynasty was Liu Bang, and he once fought with Xiang Yu for the throne. Xiang Yu was later beaten up and lost the chance to be blessed by the Dragon Qi.
On the streets of a remote town, three people were strolling casually. Lyu Bu and Diao Chan were dressed in modern clothes. Lyu Hao was showing them around in this new world.
“Honey, many beautiful natural views are missing in modern society, but those buildings and lights looked so special,” Diao Chan, holding Lyu Bu’s arms, exclaimed.
Lyu Bu agreed with her, but he looked so worried and said, “They’ve also invented many strange things, like those weapons. Those iron pieces were as powerful as cultivators. I heard that there was something called ‘nuclear bombs’ that could easily kill a sage.”
“Those things were violations of the laws of nature. People knew how destructive those things could be, so they didn’t want to use them. Those neon signs were beautiful, but they outshone the stars, which were much prettier.”
Lyu Hao looked up. The last time he saw the starry sky, he was lying on the grass with Wang Bugui and Zhao Changge. The stars and the moon were so fascinating.
Lyu Bu and Diao Chan also raised their heads. The lonely moon was hanging in the dark sky. Stars were nowhere to be found. The couple frowned and wondered where the beautiful stars had gone.
“Bam!”
A golden ray shot across the sky and flew over them.
“That was… Dragon Qi! It’s so intense! Which emperor could be that powerful?”
Lyu Bu murmured to himself, thinking about all the emperors and Human Emperor in the cultivation world. Moments later, a proud figure came to his mind.
He could feel the confidence and majesty just by thinking about the side of the figure’s face; a man who was born to rule the world.
“Those who follow me, prosper; those who oppose me, die!”
Lyu Bu couldn’t get that resounding voice out of his mind. He felt overwhelmed and his hair stood on end. There were only two emperors that were worthy of his respect.
One was the creator of Overpowering Halberd and Warlord of Chu, Xiang Yu. The other one was who Lyu Bu had made every effort to fight, the greatest emperor of all time, the founding father of the Qin dynasty, Emperor Qin Shihuang. The man had once been crowned, but he was no match for the former two.
The two were born to dominate the world. Xiang Yu was domineering and invincible. Qin Shihuang was ambitious. He called himself the “first emperor” and wanted to change his own destiny.
Xiang Yu failed in a war with his opponent over the throne and died by the Wujiang River, which made Emperor Qin Shihuang the only possible owner of that intense Dragon Qi.
Lyu Bu felt fearful because the great emperor, who had died more than 2,000 years ago, was going to be reborn again into this world.
“Let’s catch up with the aura!” Lyu Bu yelled to Lyu Hao.
The couple then leaped into the air and found the Dragon Qi using their sense field. They rushed at full speed, followed by Lyu Hao, who felt so confused.
In the sky of another city, Yu Wude and others were tracing the aura left by Zhuge Liang. The aura disappeared as soon as they arrived in the suburbs.
“What’s going on, Fatty? Is this where Zhuge Liang was buried?” Feng Tianming looked around and asked.
They were in a real deserted wilderness area where no buildings could be seen. They hadn’t found a trace of animals yet, let alone residents.
“This…”
Yu Wude had no idea where this was either. After scanning the place with his spirit mind, he failed to find a single animal here in this remote place.
Shangguan Yiyi pondered for a moment then said, “It is said that Wei Yan’s intruding into Zhuge Liang’s residence destroyed his ceremony to gain longevity. He had been ill ever since. When he was dying, he wrote his last letter to his young master, Liu Chan.
“He told his young master that he wanted four soldiers to carry his coffin fixed on a shelf with robes. The four soldiers should walk southward nonstop until the robes and shelf deteriorated. Then the four soldiers would be so tired that they would choose a random place to bury the dead body.
“They were later beaten to death by the young master, leaving the location of the burial a historical mystery. What others didn’t know is that all of that was part of Zhuge Liang’s plan. I guess this is the place he wanted to be buried.”
Other people were so fascinated by the story that they didn’t even want to blink when they heard it. If the story was true, it was highly possible that they were standing at the place where Zhuge Liang had been buried.
