After Milo crossed the portal, he felt the message of the spirit dragon inside.
Many mysteries belonging to the Eastern Land of Shoulong unfolded before Milo's eyes, among which were the breaths of twenty-one spirit dragons.
The lowest one is naturally the ichthyosaur that Milo originally mastered, and above it are the dragon, the glass dragon, the dragon king, the jackal dragon, the horned dragon, the feather dragon, the eagle dragon, the eagle dragon, the mirage dragon, the dragon, the beetle dragon, and the divine dragon.
Tianlong, Wind Dragon, Yinglong, Kuilong, Fire Dragon, Candle Dragon, Qinglong and True Dragon.
Among them, Dragonfly is also the core source of the bloodline of the Jiangling clan where Milo belongs. Most of the ancestors of the Jiangling clan in the land of Shoulong are from the Jianglong family. Among them, the most powerful ancient Jianglong once obtained the Shoulong clan.
The authority over the rivers and lakes of the Dragon Land is a weak god with close to medium divine power, and because he divided his authority in the early days of the birth of the dragon totem belief, he created nearly three digits of river gods.
Therefore, in the land of Shoulong, Jianglong is regarded as the incarnation of rivers. It lives in every river and every lake and has the innate ability to control wind and rain.
If Jianglong controls the water system on the ground, then Lilong controls the underground water system. At the same time, in the land of Shoulong, Lilong is also regarded as an earth dragon, the inducer of earthquakes, the punisher of evil, and
Brings wealth and the existence of springs and wells.
The Dragon King, the Hidden Dragon, the Horned Dragon, the Feathered Dragon, the False Dragon, the Aolong and the Mirage Dragon are the spirit dragons transformed from other spirit beings during the birth of the dragon totem belief.
Dragon King is a wrong title, or it is a misleading title deliberately created by the Western gods. It is anchored by special powers. It is essentially a series of dragon turtles and is the product of turtles becoming dragons because they stay in the ocean all year round.
Among them, it is the protector and ally of marine life and maintains the ecological balance of the ocean, so it also has the reputation of being the ruler of the ocean.
The horned dragon, horned dragon, feathered dragon, falcon dragon, mirage dragon and ao dragon are the results of the transformation of different spirit lives. For example, horned dragons and horned dragons are mostly derived from snakes, and some plant spirits will move towards this form.
In terms of transformation, the Yulong is the essence of the bird series, the Dragon is the essence of the animal series, and the Mirage is the transformation result of some essences that are difficult to shape or even have no fixed form.
The last Aolong is somewhat special, it is the result of the transformation of fish essences, but compared to ordinary ichthyosaurs, Aolongs are generally much larger, and some special giant tortoise essences will also transform into Aolongs.
Jiaolong is considered a mid-level spirit dragon, with a status slightly higher than that of ordinary dragons, horned dragons, feather dragons, falcon dragons, mirage dragons and eagle dragons. They generally belong to the promotion directions of these types of spirit dragons. Depending on the prototype, the power bias is also different.
different.
Panlong is a kind of earth dragon. In the land of Shoulong, it is regarded as an existence with the power of guardianship. People like to carve statues of Panlong in palaces, temples, and even tombs.
Shenlong is an auspicious dragon, and generally people regard it as a dragon totem, or the incarnation and messenger of the ancient true dragon.
Tianlong, also known as Cloud Dragon, has the power to drive clouds, mist, thunder and lightning.
Wind dragons are one of the few spirit dragons that are regarded as evil and savage. In the early days, people generally believed that wind dragons were in charge of hurricanes and typhoons and were unscrupulous destroyers.
The six auras of Yinglong, Kuilong, Fire Dragon, Zhulong, Qinglong and True Dragon were the most peculiar, and Milo didn't feel much in that portal.
'Is it because they didn't leave any inheritance, or is it because these kinds of spirit dragons have lost their inheritance?'
Milo felt the breath of these spirit dragons carefully, and finally chose the Jianglong inheritance that was most suitable for the Jiangling clan.
As Jiang Long's aura fell, the blood power in Milo's body caused the ichthyosaur to undergo obvious changes, from its original appearance like a big carp to a winding body like a long snake, with four limbs.
It is covered with blue and green shining scales, its abdomen is bright yellow, its head has a pair of long and white horns, and its chin has a thicker beard than that of the ichthyosaur period.
With a slight sway, clouds and mist emerged, and at the same time, thunder fell from the outside sky where Milo obtained the inferior artifact.
Milo opened his eyes, looked at the lightning in the void, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Different from the thunder of divine wrath that he felt in his bloodline before, Milo now clearly felt the essence of the thunder above.
'I originally thought that the thunder was a variant of the sacrifice ceremony of Talos, the God of Natural Disasters [Summoning Divine Thunder], similar to the way believers sacrificed a creature that was killed by lightning to him, but this creature was fixed on the concept of ichthyosaur. But
Now it seems that it is closer to a variant of the promotion ceremony. Looking back on its essence, this method is to integrate some professional promotion rituals that were originally unique to Talos, the god of natural disasters, into the original ritual of fish and dragon promotion to the bloodline, and at the same time increase the difficulty of the ceremony.
to the maximum, ultimately producing the effect of targeted damage.'
Milo felt the power of thunder condensed above him, and there was a slight sarcasm in his eyes.
'If it had been earlier, I would have retreated, but now...'
The mountains and rivers seal was suspended in front of Milo, spinning like a orb. The three magic spells of landslide, water driving, and rain praying, which were equivalent to the Western seven-ring magic spell, exerted their power at the same time, driving water vapor around, and drizzle fell from the dark clouds above.
Illusory dragon shadows formed around Milo.
Milo's boyhole began to turn a green color, looking like fine jade. The water of the river swirled around him, and his body changed slightly. Scales appeared on both sides of his cheeks.
A subtle blue-green aura flows within the scales, which is the characteristic of flesh and blood transforming into fey life.
At the same time, Milo's charm attribute has also been further improved, and the surrounding water vapor is converging crazily in his direction.
Hongze River God, who originally sensed something was wrong and rushed over in a hurry, fell into a brief daze because he faced Milo's face. He didn't wake up until the words "walking on the dragon and transforming into a dragon" sounded in his ears.
Immediately afterwards, the Hongze River God felt that the power of his own river began to be controlled by the Jiangling tribe in front of him. A shadow like a river dragon emerged from the water vapor around Milo, spiraled upward, and joined the thunder.
Collide together.
Milo himself took this opportunity to spy on the power of the promotion ceremony left by Talos, the god of natural disasters.
As a god in charge of storms, destruction, rebellion, conflict, hurricanes, blizzards, whirlpools, fires, earthquakes, ocean storms and ferocious beasts and ghosts, the promotion ceremony sent down by Talos, the god of natural disasters, naturally has similar characteristics.
, especially when this powerful god adjusts the difficulty of the ritual to the maximum, then Milo, who completes the ritual, will naturally receive the most generous rewards.
He obtained part of the domain information mastered by Talos, the God of Natural Disasters. At the same time, Milo also obtained the inheritance of some of the spirit dragons, as well as a small amount of the attention of the Pan-Conscious Emperor.
'Storm, hurricane, thunder...'
Milo gathered the power of these realms and finally visited the natural disaster realm, gaining a certain ability to control extreme weather.
Realizing that his power was being spied on, Talos, the God of Natural Disasters, was furious. This powerful god has always been violent, impatient and irritable as his manifest temperament. He is extremely addicted to chaos and destruction, and has been weathering, disasters, etc. for a long time.
and destruction as the manifestation of their own power.
For this god, he does not need followers to worship him, all he needs is fear.
In the very small church of this god, the vast majority of priests believe in him out of fear, and they are also the ones who like to destroy things to please him.
During the period when the earth dragon totem of Shoulong had not yet collapsed and the pantheon was still intact, spirit dragons such as Jianglong, Tianlong, and Wind Dragon were targeted by Talos, the god of natural disasters, more than once because of their power to control the weather. Even in the original pantheon,
When it collapsed, Talos, the god of natural disasters, even descended into an incarnation and killed a large number of adult heavenly dragons and wind dragons.
Now, I once again felt that someone in the Land of Shoulong was spying on the realm of natural disasters. This was the biggest name promoted by this vindictive god. Naturally, he fell into rage. He waved his lightning-like spear, driving the storm towards
Received a new wave of impact from Dragon Land.
But at this time, Milo was receiving the attention of Huang Tian, the pan-conscious god of the entire Shoulong Land. The actions of Talos, the God of Natural Disasters, also aroused Huang Tian's anger. For this god who came to the border from time to time to show off his muscles, Huang Tian had already
I want to teach him a lesson, but I just can't grasp the reason. Now that he has descended into the incarnation, Emperor Tian will not hesitate to use his huge divine power to shatter the thunder, crush the storm, turn the destruction into nothingness, and directly destroy the natural disaster.
The incarnation of the god was shattered into countless streams of light.
Even part of the divinity was collected by Emperor Tian and was given to Milo.
When the Hongze River God nearby saw this scene, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
As a fey life form transformed into a legendary shaman after his death, the Hongze River God is very aware of the rarity of divinity.
He managed Hongze conscientiously and gained the trust of the people around him. It would take him about a hundred years to condense a weak divinity. Compared with Milo, who relied on his good appearance to directly obtain the attention of the emperor, it was really too much.
It makes people...envious.
"Why didn't I have such good luck back then?"
Hongze River God whispered, and a voice suddenly came from the side: "You don't really think that the person above obtained divinity simply because of his good appearance, right? His charm is very high, but it is not enough to make Huang Tian
Favor, look at what he has in his hand again?"
Hongze River God looked at it attentively and said in surprise: "Mountain and River Seal, isn't this thing lost?"
As he spoke, Hongze River God turned back to look at the person who came. He was a young man with white hair and a boyish face, wearing clothes similar to Taoist robes. There was a faint green aura on his hair, and there was a shadow of a crane at his feet.
With such clear characteristics, Hongze River God immediately understood the origin of the person in front of him.
"Songhe Sect?"
This is one of the subordinate factions of the Taoist priest profession that gradually emerged during the heyday of dragon totem belief.
At that time, Taoist priests were solitary people. They would travel to places far away from human settlements to seek knowledge about nature, and they called nature Tao. They believed that all things have Yin and Yang, and seeking Tao means standing in the middle of Yin and Yang.
Therefore, in theory, all Taoist priests should be absolutely neutral, but in fact, with the passage of time, two major factions have split within the Taoist priests.
A person who believes in the dark side of Tao. They believe that the power gained from Tao can be used to satisfy personal desires, and the greatest desire of a person is immortality and immortality.
The other is a person who believes in the yang side of Tao. They choose to use the power they obtain from Tao to do good deeds for the public, believing that only in this way can they be more in line with Tao and achieve immortality.
These two factions had quite a conflict in the early years. After the dragon totem belief was classified and the two powerful pan-conscious gods Huang Tianhou Tu were derived, the factions within the Taoist priests became even more divided.
Among them, the Songhe Sect is the product of the fusion of the Taoist priest system with shamans, warrior monks and other professions.
By interacting with the spirits of pine trees and cranes, they gained longer life spans and healthier bodies.
Therefore, people from the Songhe sect are generally very young, making it difficult for outsiders to tell the age of people from the Songhe sect based on their appearance.
However, the person communicating with the boy at this time was not a mortal, but the Hongze River God. He could feel the powerful power contained in the boy in front of him. Although it was not as good as when he was alive, it was still close. In the entire Shoulong Land,
He can be considered a strong man.
"I never thought that a small town like Hongze would attract a being like you."
Facing the Hongze River God's inquiry, the young man raised his hands and said, "My name is Shao Hua, and it was only by chance that I came here."
The young man explained that from his description, the Hongze River God knew that this young man had taught a shaman in the past, who is now the guardian of Hongze Town Qiongyun, so he knew that there was a mortal here who had awakened the blood of Jiang Ling.
And knowing that the man's bloodline was very special, he specially asked the crane spirit stationed in the area to send him here.
Hearing this, Hongze River God couldn't help but let down some of his vigilance.
He also knew that the Songhe Sect had cultivated many crane spirits, and the most powerful one among them had already mastered part of the power in the travel field. He could fly very fast, so it was not surprising that he could send them here quickly.
Seeing the river god relax, Shao Hua added: "Instead of worrying about me, should we go up and pay homage to Lord Jiang Ling?"
"Exactly!"
Hongze River God said, and he and Shao Hua came forward to meet Milo. The respectful attitude of the two made Milo feel a little strange.
Seeing this, Shao Hua smiled and said: "Master Jiang Ling, please don't find it strange. Have you ever heard of the legend of the Land of Shoulong?"
"This must be the first story I heard when I was a child."
Milo responded and also gave his own answer.
When Shao Hua saw this, he smiled and said: "This makes it easier to explain. The story itself hides the legend of the initial establishment of our country."
As he spoke, he began to tell ancient legends.
"Legend has it that in ancient times, nine tired travelers had to stay in a remote town and a dilapidated inn due to a snowstorm in one winter. Although the poor innkeeper did not
He had so much food and was worried about how to survive the cold winter, but he still warmly received the nine travelers when he saw them."
Shao Hua said, stretched out a hand and whispered: "This paragraph actually tells the story of how we encountered the first true dragon in the Land of Shoulong. The nine travelers were the first true dragons, and that
The boss is the ground beneath our feet. Therefore, after the first story, there will be a follow-up. In order to repay the boss's enthusiasm, four of the nine travelers got up and returned to the blizzard to bring back some prey.
People entered the valley and brought some rice, nuts and roots, and the last person entered the kitchen and prepared dinner for everyone. Afterwards, before leaving, the travelers also left generous supplies for the boss, hoping that
He can survive the cold winter."
According to Shao Hua's previous explanation, Milo thought: "So what this paragraph actually says is that four of the nine true dragons drove away the beasts in ancient times, brought abundant harvests, and enabled the people on the land at that time to
Continue to survive, so in the third story, in order to repay the help of the traveler, the poor boss gave the traveler a scepter as a gift after the meal, which symbolized the land under our feet, and at the same time
It symbolizes that our ancestors dedicated their faith to the real dragon."
Hearing this, Shao Hua nodded: "That's right. The ancestors signed a contract with the real dragon, and the traveler became the king. It symbolizes that the real dragon protects our ancestors, and that is also the first trace of the dragon totem belief."
Milo frowned slightly when he heard this: "But according to legend, after the nine travelers became great kings, they only ruled this land for thirty years and then left this land. And before they left,
He also handed over his scepter to a farmer. According to legend, the farmer lived in the original inn. He did not recognize that the nine people dressed as travelers were the ones who ruled this land.
king, but he still received them warmly and even provided them with supplies for the winter that were not very abundant."
Shao Hua continued: "It is precisely because of this enthusiastic attitude and familiar scenes that the nine kings felt a trace of the past, so after the meal, they told the farmer that they wanted to give him a gift. Saying the first
The first traveler took out the golden scepter and handed over the power to the farmer. The second traveler took out the silver scepter and handed over the mystery to the farmer. The third traveler, the fourth traveler, until
The ninth traveler took out a different scepter and handed it to the farmer. Therefore, the farmer became the most noble symbol on this land, and became the first emperor under the watchful eyes of fifty-five companions.
In order to show that he was the same as his fifty-five companions, the first emperor melted nine scepters, created fifty-six seals, and gave them to everyone to hold separately. What do you think this symbolizes?"
Milo, who had never thought in this direction, said in disbelief: "The scepter is a symbol of the god's authority. The farmer represents the person who is receiving the dragon today. Giving authority to the farmer means that the real dragon has handed over the land to the farmer."
The person who receives the dragon, and the fifty-five companions symbolize the demi-human race surrounding the person who receives the dragon at that time. As for the seal..."
Milo looked at the mountain seal in his hand, but he didn't expect this thing to have such a great origin.
"It seems that you have guessed that the mountain and river seal in your hand is one of the original fifty-six seals, symbolizing the highest power in this land. By inheriting this seal, you represent the master of the power of receiving the dragon.
He is the lord of this land, and he is also the lord of the most special Jiang Ling clan among all the lords."
Shao Hua said, bowing slightly to Milo: "Please come with me, sir..."
Before Shao Hua finished speaking, Milo waved his hand to stop him and said, "I can't leave this land for the time being."
As he spoke, Milo looked at the Hongze River on the side, raised his hand to roll up the water, and spread the accumulated river water in the upper reaches to the surroundings. At the same time, the mountain seal in his hand also emitted a faint spiritual light, which was consistent with the land under his feet.
"Back then, the Mountains and Rivers Seal fell here and was restored to a certain extent through the Feng Shui here. Now the connection with this land has become closer. If I leave rashly, I'm afraid it will damage the power of the Mountains and Rivers Seal. I'd better wait.
wait."
Milo's answer put Shao Hua in a bit of trouble. He wanted to continue persuading him, but looking at the spiritual light on the mountains and rivers, he couldn't speak, so he could only remain silent.
On the other hand, the Hongze River God beside him was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper: "This artifact is connected to the geomantic omen, why don't I feel it? Huh? There seems to be some connection now?"
As he spoke, Hongze River God stared at the mountain and river seal, feeling the weak power inside and the aura interacting with the surrounding land and rivers, and became a little hesitant.
He didn't dare to joke about artifacts with special symbolic meanings such as the Mountain and River Seal, so they persuaded Shao Hua together.
"In this case, I will stay here just in case. By the way, please don't leave the vicinity of the Hongze River if you have nothing to do. There is a river god here who can protect you. Once you leave, I am worried that those who believe in
The existence of the evil god of the West will not help but take action."
After Mi Luo nodded to express his understanding, he continued to use the vitality of Miao Youtian to contact the mountain and river seal in his hand, and then connected with the surrounding rivers and land, creating a strange scene similar to the interaction between the mountain and river seal and the breath of this land.
As for why he did this, Milo has not forgotten that when he was hiding in Miaoyoutian and wandering around before he obtained local identity, he saw in some books the special characteristics of the emperor of the land of dragons, which lasted for thousands of years.
The rule has experienced the rise and fall of eight great dynasties and more than seventy emperors. Who knows what their heritage is.
But since the Western gods did not attack the imperial city back then, Milo could probably guess that there was something powerful enough to threaten the true god.
Milo may not be afraid of these methods because he possesses the treasures derived from the three pure auras, but he had promised his incarnation that he would take good care of his nephew, so how could he go and take risks? In the current situation, Milo was not afraid at all.
I have no doubt that if I go, the boy will definitely go with me.
Therefore, while Milo strengthened his contact with the Mountain and River Seal, he also secretly made up his mind: 'It would be better not to go to the imperial capital before further recovering his power and raising the name corresponding to this body to the fourth level.'
