Chapter 748: Chapter 83: Red Dragon’s Long Chant, The Eight Hundred Year Alliance!_3

When Li Guanyi first came here, he encountered many exotic beasts.

He even killed a big bear, allowing the Qilin Army fellows to have a good meal.

Back then, Li Guanyi thought that once his power was deep enough, he could come back, explore deeper areas, and procure higher-grade spiritual medicine; it’s just that he had been too busy to find the time since then.

This time, the entire mystical realm was eerily quiet—not to mention exotic beasts, there wasn’t even the sound of the wind. The sky was filled with rolling red clouds, and a huge Divine Dragon slowly stretched out its body, its golden-red vertical pupils gazing at Murong Longtu.

"...Murong Longtu, you have arrived,"

"And the Chi Xiao Sword Master."

The Red Dragon’s body coiled in the clouds, watching Li Guanyi, noticing something else within him, which was the golden-red Dragon Essence.

The event deemed impossible had appeared before their eyes, leaving even the Ancient Red Dragon feeling as if the world was like a dream. After a long silence, it said:

"The Dragon Essence I gave him, along with the shadow of the Chi Xiao Sword."

"In the past, Zhang Ziyong wielded the Dragon Essence, and I granted him eight hundred years of life, but you come here, you surely do not seek longevity. It must be the original alliance."

"Wielding the Chi Xiao Sword, and bearing the Dragon Essence."

"You may ask one thing of me."

"Li Guanyi, I have heard of your deeds." The Ancient Red Dragon looked at the young man with some emotion. Heroes rise, the world is engulfed in war; to a Divine Beast with a long life, it’s like watching sand castles gather and then vanish in the winds of time.

But every time, in despair and darkness, there are those like flames that stand up, tearing the night apart. Even after having lived for many long years, even as its dragon scales show pale traces of age, the Ancient Red Dragon still finds its spirit moved by such heroic vigor of the times.

The behemoth of the Ancient Red Dragon leaned down, its massive dragon head coming before a cliff, its gaze level with Li Guanyi’s. It spoke, its voice majestic and vast as thunder:

"So, what sort of help do you desire?"

"A new hero of the mortal world."

"Do you wish for me to restrain the world’s great generals at a crucial moment for you, or perhaps, descend from the heavens to bestow upon you the legitimacy of the Red Emperor lineage, the majestic right of divine kingship under the watchful eyes of all."

"Or maybe you seek riches and treasures that could raise an army of thousands."

"The most supreme martial arts absolute skills."

It described these, scenes that had occurred throughout history. The Red Emperor was its ally, but it wasn’t the first over these long years to have received help from the Red Dragon.

Li Guanyi thought for a moment, then looked at the old man beside him and smiled:

"Grandpa, may I take care of this myself?"

Murong Longtu, unconcerned, just laughed and said, "What’s this? You want to keep such matters from your grandpa?"

"However, the child has grown up, and indeed, it should be so."

"Success comes from secrecy, while failure comes from divulging; it’s right to do it this way."

He patted Li Guanyi’s shoulder in approval and then, with the silver-haired girl, began to leave, saying with a smile, "This mystical place is vast and contains many fine sceneries, come, come, let me show you around."

The silver-haired girl nodded.

After they left, Li Guanyi looked at the Ancient Red Dragon, which spoke slowly, "They have already left, state your request..."

Li Guanyi gazed at the Ancient Red Dragon, his hands spread open.

In his right hand, the red light flowed and changed, interweaving to form the shadow of the Chi Xiao Sword, while in his left hand, he held up a piece of Dragon Essence. As the Divine Weapon and this treasure appeared together, a surge of Dragon Roar Energy swept across in all directions.

The young man’s black hair was slightly lifted, and lines of golden-red patterns appeared on his body. The Ancient Red Dragon watched him, and for a moment, it seemed to see the heroes of past generations. As time flowed, heroes and lords unsheathed their swords and rose.

Heroic, valiant, imposing—every era had such heroes.

It had lived for far too long.

Sometimes its slumber would last longer than its waking hours, and over the vast stretch of time it had witnessed, the distinctive characters would blur when there were too many heroes of the same nature and it would forget their faces.

All that remained were faded and whitened images in its memory.

The Ancient Red Dragon said, "Your request is..."

Li Guanyi opened his eyes and answered:

"I hope to let Grandpa survive."

Thus Li Guanyi set himself apart from the shadows of those heroes in the memory of the Ancient Red Dragon.

The Ancient Red Dragon seemed to think it had heard wrong. It fell silent for a long time, seemingly laughing, its voice majestic and vast, "Do you underestimate the value of this object? I am different from your Qilin, I have lived for eight thousand years."

"My foundation and power surpass the martial arts legends you speak of."

"I can help you overcome an insurmountable barrier once, reach a further future, I can fend off a hundred thousand soldiers for you, preventing them from reaching your territory, I can protect your descendants, passing your legacy to them."

"I can even fortify your lineage with Dragon Blood, bestowing upon your descendants the innate power to command the Dharma Form, hence establishing a thousand-year legacy for your aristocratic family."

"Even so, would you choose this path?"

The Red Dragon spoke slowly, "You need not be bound by any moral constraints. History has seen many a hero cast aside all for the throne and the world, to establish their great enterprises. Besides, Murong Longtu does not have much time left, and he cannot accept any other vitality."
