Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 929 Profound Understanding (10)

"If it were truly a manifestation of inner memories..."

Han Yi had a sudden inspiration. He focused his gaze on the last page of the secret book and stared intently at it.

really.

As the body naturally relaxes, the mind becomes at ease, and the divine will shines forth, a large number of unconscious thoughts drift away, drawn by a mysterious force, and slowly enter the secret book.

Roar! ! !

The patterns before my eyes shifted, with a faint shimmer of gold.

Indistinctly.

A lifelike golden dragon, its body crackling with golden lightning, its scales shimmering, and its whiskers flowing, roared and howled. This five-clawed dragon, enormous as the heavens and the earth, loomed over the boundless ocean, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!!!"

Once his conjecture was confirmed, Han Yi immediately felt a deep admiration for the creator of the secret manual.

No wonder the last page of notes deliberately marked it as the most difficult, most powerful, choose carefully...

Members of the common meridians.

When they turned to the last page of the secret book, because their souls were weak and unable to differentiate any extra divine intent, what they saw was actually just a simple scene of a gloomy sea.

In other words, Han Yi's situation is special.

Having lived two lives, his divine soul is incredibly powerful and has accumulated immense strength. Even the divine intent he unconsciously emits can activate the secret book, causing it to manifest his inner thoughts according to the fluctuations of his divine intent.

The imagery generated in this way originates from conscious thoughts and is the deepest conviction of the heart to be the strongest being who controls lightning, with a clear goal and unwavering belief.

Compatibility, affinity, talent, and so on go without saying; it's a perfect match for me and aligns with my beliefs.

Therefore, the power of the condensed imagery far surpasses the previous types in strength, and can even be called the strongest lightning-attribute imagery.

The only flaw.

Because it is too strong, the burden on the soul is extremely heavy, and the amount of demonic power required to support the consumption is enormous, which places extremely high demands on the individual's strength.

Even if a disciple has someone to guide them and forcibly infuse divine will into their mind, barely able to see the deepest conviction in their heart, they still don't have the strength to support it.

but.

Those who obtain the secret manual, understand its principles, and see the essence of what they truly believe in are unlikely to be ordinary people.

They are either exceptionally talented with substantial accumulated knowledge, or possess extraordinary insight, allowing them to see the bigger picture. Therefore, this biggest weakness is no longer considered a weakness.

After all, greater power comes with greater energy consumption, which is a fairly fair principle.

"Five-Clawed Divine Dragon..."

Han Yi pondered for a moment. As a transmigrator, and from a country that regarded dragons as the ancestral gods, he was deeply moved.

I naturally have a great fondness for dragons, which are strange creatures that only exist in legends.

Moreover.

Five-clawed dragon.

Surrounded by divine light, shining brilliantly.

Soaring through the sky, free and unrestrained.

Amidst tender beauty, swirling and dancing.

Each breath, each exhale, carries the wind and rain. A change of heart, and thunder roars.

In an instant, it tore through the clouds, and the mountains and rivers lost their color. It soared into the sky in a misty haze, a divine being riding the air.

As the saying goes, a dragon appears only briefly, its claws and scales peeking out from the clouds; it can transform and change its form at will, its size entirely dependent on the whim of others.

It combines majesty and beauty.

The dragon, the chief of all scaled creatures, can be hidden or visible, small or large, short or long. It ascends to the sky at the spring equinox and dives into the abyss at the autumn equinox.

If we really end up fighting each other in the future.

The images that others create are either cats or dogs, natural images like tigers, leopards, and wolves, or man-made images like long swords and short swords.

Han Yi, on the other hand, raised his hand and a five-clawed divine dragon soared through the clouds, roaring with thunder and swirling with wind, stretching across the sky with its immense power.

Based on its built-in beauty filters and sound system alone, it's worth making the choice.

"Dragon head, dragon scales, dragon tail..." Han Yi thought it was good and began to construct the image of a divine dragon in his mind. He determined the general shape of the image, estimated the required soul power, and the consumption after it was fully formed.

This step is essentially a routine check to prevent the soul from becoming unable to support the imagery in the future, ultimately forcing us to give up and start all over again.

“No problem. My soul has a superposition of power far exceeding that of ordinary people, and my divine will is extremely abundant. The essence of demonic power is the transformation of essence and energy. With the essence and energy of my physical body, plus the energy reserves in the Netherworld Pearl, it can be described as a massive and continuous supply.”

Han Yi casually simulated it once and then confirmed the result.

There will be no problems.

easy.

Let alone one, even two dragons could easily form a "Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl" or "Double Dragons Meeting".

Han Yi was just about to invoke divine will to sketch the form of the dragon in his mind.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning exploded on his body. A newly generated current was indeed drawn into his body by Han Yi.

He was stunned for a moment, as if he had been electrocuted.

"wrong."

Han Yi dispersed his divine sense, his brows furrowed, and a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

"If... even the divine dragon from my past life can be condensed as an image..."

Streaks of lightning converged on Han Yi, layer upon layer, the branching currents resembling forked tree branches, making him appear as if he were wearing a layer of golden thorn armor.

"If I remember correctly... in the mythological system of my previous life... dragons, the dragon race was not considered the strongest type, probably not even average..."

A flood of memories from his past life suddenly flashed through Han Yi's mind.

Thanks to the strength of his soul now, those extremely distant memories from before his transmigration have surfaced without missing a single detail in his continuous mental recollections.

Leaving aside the ancient mythological system represented by Fuxi and Nuwa, which existed in a chaotic and unwritten period and lacked written records.

The most widespread and deeply ingrained version is the folk mythology system that integrates the essence of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, with "Journey to the West" and "Investiture of the Gods" as its main works.

First there was the White Dragon Horse, the Third Prince of the West Sea, who carried luggage and goods for others, rode on his back like an ox or a horse, and then there was Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the East Sea, who was skinned and had his tendons pulled out for committing many evils.

Other examples include those who were killed by a single blow, chopped with an axe, or left barely alive by a mere brush or bump. There was even a story about the Jing River Dragon King being killed in a mortal's dream because he missed the appointed time due to rain.

Dragon Kings exist in rivers, lakes, and seas, and even in wells; they are utterly worthless.

of course.

Some might argue that rivers cover too little water area, and the dragons that govern a river are too weak; aren't there the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas?

The four seas are ruled by the dragon race, how can that be called weak?

The so-called Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are mainly responsible for harmonizing the local environment.

To put it simply, they are responsible for guarding the Heavenly Court's territory and controlling the rain; it's just that the ocean covers a larger area, making them seem more powerful.

In reality, if we were to rank them by seniority, the Four Dragon Kings would be ranked similarly to the Mountain God, City God, and Earth God, having no real power or status whatsoever.

The vast Dragon Palace of the East Sea had to treat a monkey with utmost respect when he came to visit. The Dragon King personally greeted him, served him the best wine and food, gave him money and accessories, and even gave him the golden cudgel, the treasure that suppressed the sea.

This gives a glimpse into the true strength of the dragon race.

If they were truly strong enough, they could have simply summoned their shrimp soldiers and crab generals to finish off this hairy monkey, and there would have been no need for the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures. Furthermore, the idiom "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" is often used to describe incompetent subordinates or a rabble of enemies, which also reflects the awkward situation of the dragon race from another perspective.

After all, the dragon, as a mythical creature, does not hold a very high position or strength in many mythological systems, and is sometimes even a villainous figure that people dislike.

For powerful figures like Donghuang Taiyi, Zengmu Tianwang, and Doumu Yuanjun to use the Ancestral Dragon as a mount or as an earring decoration is considered a sign of good fortune for the dragon.

Some dragons with no real power or influence were either chained up and used for alchemy, or their bellies were ripped open and eaten like spicy snacks.

I won't say much more.

It is said that the Golden-Winged Roc eats hundreds of dragons every day.

The phrase "phoenix marrow and dragon liver" refers to a delicious dish served by the Jade Emperor to honored guests.

Looking at these two things alone, it's not hard to conclude that the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon's value... seems to be just so-so. "So... why choose 'dragon' as the spiritual symbol? Perhaps the image of the divine dragon isn't weak, but there are clearly stronger ones..."

Han Yi's mind suddenly cleared up, as if thunder had shattered the darkness, and his thoughts became clear.

In the previous life's ranking system of deities, based on both group power and individual strength, the dragon race could only occupy a lower-middle position. The stronger ones, those who reigned supreme above the nine heavens, were the other gods…

Could it also be considered as a potential target, or as an image to draw inspiration from?

Compared to those legendary mythical creatures that only exist in legends... neither an individual dragon nor the dragon race as a whole... is anything special.

At least in Han Yi's understanding, they were at least several orders of magnitude stronger, easily crushing the dragon race in both strength and future talent. "Thinking about it this way... purely from the perspective of affinity with lightning, the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess... it's said that these two... are legendary deities who control lightning..."

The more Han Yi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Lei Gong is the god in charge of thunder. He belongs to the yang element, hence the title "Gong" (公). He is also known as Lei Shi (雷師) or Lei Shen (雷神).

The Goddess of Lightning is a yin deity, hence the title "Mother." She is also known as the Golden Light Holy Mother or the Lightning Goddess.

Thor and lightning are definitely more powerful in terms of imagery than the dragon, which also summons thunder and rain.

Furthermore, since it has been determined that the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon can be used as a symbolic image, then the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, who are in the same stage and have a hierarchical relationship, can also become one of the optional symbols.

This is not divorced from reality, and it does not conflict with the two key points in the secret manual.

Just do it.

Han Yi had a sudden inspiration and was just about to concentrate when he suddenly paused again.

New problems.

It appeared in his mind again.

"Once the imagery is chosen, it is very difficult to change it later. There are methods, but they are extremely troublesome. All the previous cultivation efforts will be wasted, and it may even damage the soul itself."

So why not go for it from the start? Choose the strongest one as a reference point, saving you the trouble of upgrading or replacing it later if it falters.

Han Yi fell into deep thought.

In the mythological system of the ancient Chinese civilization, if one has an open mind and thinks broadly, the Thunder God and the Lightning Goddess are not considered strong, at most ranking in the upper-middle range.

Above the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess are the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Six Emperors, and even at the very top, the Three Pure Ones of the Primordial Beginning.

Even the Three Pure Ones are not at the very top; there is also Pangu, the primordial spirit who created the world in ancient mythology. And this is merely a pantheon of gods passed down from an ancient Eastern country.

The twelve Olympian gods—Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu—represent the creator, destroyer, and protector gods, respectively. Vishnu's avatar is the familiar Shakyamuni, also known as the Buddha.

Let your imagination run wild.

Such as God Jehovah, Zeus the Supreme Thunder God, Odin of Valhalla, Allah, Gilgamesh, Artoria Pendragon…
