Chapter 973: Chapter 125: Saving the Azure Dragon
The Divine Road may not seem like much, but Yun Sheng hasnât planned on becoming a god yet.
However, the treasures on the Divine Road are a different matter.
Yun Sheng is somewhat tempted; not to mention anything else, just the fact that the crises and opportunities coexist on the Divine Road as the two Totem Divine Beasts mentioned earlier.
If Yun Sheng wants to rescue her mother, Hu Jiusheng, she must have the strength to rival the Summon Emperor. If she could journey through the All Gods Continent, her power might greatly improve.
"Why say so much, Vermilion Bird? The Nine Flames Divine Road isnât easy to open. Look at her, does she look anywhere close to defeating Xuan Sitian? Without the Azure Dragon Emperor Jade, she canât open the Nine Flames Divine Road. Relying on her is not as good as relying on Xuan Sitian," the White Tiger snorted.
An Ant-man Clan, paired with a weak Realm Divine Beast, actually desires to tread the Nine Flames Divine Roadâitâs simply an insult to the Emperor Jiu Yan.
It took countless generations for the Four Great Totem Divine Beasts to return from the Human World and be awakened one by one.
Among them, only three out of the four Emperor Jades have been awakened.
The first piece, the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade, was awakened by the first family head of the Yuan Family, also the wife of the first City Lord of Dihong City.
The second piece, the Azure Dragon Emperor Jade, was awakened by Xuan Sitian twenty-five years ago.
The third piece, the Vermilion Bird Emperor Jade, was awakened by Yun Sheng a few years ago.
The fourth piece, the White Tiger Emperor Jade, was also awakened by Yun Sheng.
With Yun Sheng awakening two Emperor Jades, it at least shows she is currently the person most likely to awaken all the Emperor Jades.
This is also why, after the White Tiger was awakened, the Totem Vermilion Bird immediately stepped in to prevent it from harming Yun Sheng.
"Xuan Sitian? White Tiger, if you truly believe he is a suitable new master, you would have already pledged allegiance. Following this person, will we become gods or demons?" the Totem Vermilion Bird retorted sarcastically.
The Totem White Tiger was rendered speechless.
How could it not know this point?
The City Lordâs Wife of Dihong City, though unable to awaken the White Tiger Emperor Jade, had kept it closely guarded for many years, and the Totem White Tiger still had some connection to her.
But now, that brainless woman has been killed by the ambitious Xuan Sitian.
The Four Great Totem Divine Beasts are Ancient Divine Beasts; they served the Emperor Jiu Yan who was filled with compassion, saving lives and healing the Human Clanâs Great Saint.
Having been influenced by him, although the Four Great Totem Divine Beasts had somewhat arrogant personalities, they only accept noble and world-caring strong individuals as their masters.
Xuan Sitianâs strength is undeniably strong; however, he is absolutely not one who will become a god.
The White Tiger had to admit it looked down on someone like Xuan Sitian.
Compared to Xuan Sitian, the Ant-man Clan individual before them, emitting a scent of elixir, was indeed a bit more appealing.
"Since you all donât wish to acknowledge Xuan Sitian as your master, then why is it that the Totem Green Dragon is willing to follow Sitian? Could it be that the Totem Green Dragon has already fallen?" Yun Sheng also, in these few days, heard from Yuan Bupoâs words that the God Beast Summoned by Dihong City Lord Xuan Sitian was the Totem Green Dragon.
It was also because of the Totem Green Dragon that the Yuan Family had been no match for Xuan Sitian all these years.
"Ant-man Clan, do not speak frivolously. Brother Green Dragon is the most upright among our Four Great Totem Divine Beasts. He was also once the steed of the Emperor Jiu Yan. Brother Green Dragon has been controlled by Xuan Sitian because he fell into the enchantment of the Emperorâs Song!" the White Tiger, upon hearing this, was both angry and helpless.
"Master, Vermilion Bird is here, hoping you can find a way to rescue Brother Green Dragon," the Vermilion Birdâs eyes were filled with anger and sorrow.
Being a Divine Beast, yet being involuntarily controlled, is itself a tragedy.
"Even if I want to help you, Vermilion Bird, itâs beyond my capabilities. Xuan Sitianâs cultivation of the Emperorâs Song far surpasses mine. How could I possibly rescue the Totem Green Dragon from him?" Yun Sheng forced a bitter smile.
The power of the Emperorâs Song is extraordinary. Only a higher-level Emperorâs Song can break its controlling effects.
Yun Shengâs skill in the Emperorâs Song was picked up midway, not to mention she was tone-deaf initially, and she had only learned six Chapters of it.
Whereas Xuan Sitian had studied the Emperorâs Song from a young age and even acquired the eighth Chapter of the Emperorâs Song from the Emperorâs Tomb.
Yun Sheng understands the gap between herself and Xuan Sitian. Her cultivation in the Emperorâs Song was inferior to even Yuan Bupo, let alone that old thief Xuan Sitian.
"This regard, Master neednât worry yourself about it. The ninth Chapter of the Emperorâs Song resides in the Emperorâs Tomb. Years ago, Xuan Sitian, to seize the City Lord position, entered the Emperorâs Tomb with someone he did not love and only obtained the eighth Chapter of the Emperorâs Song. One day, as long as Master finds a beloved person to enter the Emperorâs Tomb, with the lute and flute playing in harmony, Master will learn the ninth Chapter of the Emperorâs Song, and then youâll be able to use it to rescue Brother Green Dragon," Vermilion Birdâs words left Yun Sheng stunned.
The condition to obtain the ninth Chapter of the Emperorâs Song requires two truly in love, the emotional bond harmonious, the lute, and flute in duet.
Yun Sheng had someone she cherished, yet now that person was...
Feeling a slight sourness in her heart, Yun Sheng thought to herself, Ye Huli, where exactly are you?
The moment of sadness was fleeting, and Yun Sheng soon pulled herself together.
"Xuan Sitianâs strength is far beyond mine. I can only promise to do my utmost to save the Totem Green Dragon for you," Yun Sheng solemnly made a promise.
Little did Yun Sheng know, her words of "doing my utmost" only made the two Divine Beasts regard her even more highly.
At least it proved that the Human Clan woman before them was not someone to lie or boast.
At the moment of her promise, her eyes were determined and full of confidence.
Both the Totem White Tiger and Totem Vermilion Bird seemed almost infected by it, giving rise to a sense of hope within their hearts.
"Ant-man Clan, if you can rescue Brother Green Dragon, I, the White Tiger, promise to accept one summoning from you," the White Tiger, as if moved by Yun Sheng, also made a promise.
"I, Vermilion Bird, also promise that if Master can rescue Brother Green Dragon, I am willing to accept a single summoning from you," Vermilion Bird promised as well.
Two opportunities for Divine Beast summoning?
Yun Sheng couldnât help but feel a tickle of excitement in her heart.
Previously, although she had gained the acceptance of the Vermilion Bird,
it didnât mean she contracted with the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird.
In reality, when the Vermilion Bird Emperor Jade was in the hands of the Great Elder, it could be used, but that was not the full strength of the Vermilion Bird.
The Great Elder had only awakened the divine power of the Vermilion Bird in its totem state, just fifty percent of its usual strength.
Divine Beasts, unlike common Demon Beasts, cannot be directly contracted. Only true gods, such as the Emperor Jiu Yan, can contract with a Divine Beast.
However, this does not mean that the Human Clan cannot summon Divine Beasts.
As long as a Divine Beast accepts a summoning from a Human Clan Summoner, they can summon the Divine Beast, but it is not a permanent summoning, just a one-time summoning.
But even if only once, it is still a summoning of a Divine Beast, a true Divine Beast!
