Chapter 269: Chapter 186: Temporary Divine Authority_2

Translator: 549690339

After the ghosts and gods departed, the warriors gathered around. Zhao, the housekeeper leading the group, looked at Feng Qing’an with particularly mixed feelings. He held both expectations and regret.

If the young master were to assume the role of River Water Monarch, Zhao might be able to replace Gui, the Prime Minister in the opera script, thanks to his relationship with the young master. However, if the young master were to become the River Water Monarch, it didn’t quite match his status, which was cause for regret. His achievements shouldn’t stop here.

“What are you thinking? Do you think such a small river can hold me back?”

Upon hearing these words, Feng Qing’an immediately denied it. Being a ghost or an earth spirit was never an option for him.

However, he was slightly curious, so he didn’t mind temporarily assuming the role of a deity and experiencing what it was like to be the River Water Monarch. The Wave River was not a wild river passing through barren mountains, there were countless temples along its span, worshiping the position of the River Water Monarch.

“Young master, do you just want to temporarily replace the River Water Monarch, to command the clouds and rain?”

Sen Miao spoke at this moment. According to Feng Qing’an’s instructions, she

should not have revealed her divine presence in front of others. But since they had already walked on the water, it didn’t matter anymore. After all, these warriors were not technically ordinary people.

“Yes!”

“Then when you leave, I’m afraid you’ll have to choose suitable spirits to serve as the Wave River Water Monarch. This river, which affects the mortal world’s production, must have a monarch in power. If you leave and wash your hands of it all, it might not cause drought, but floods and other disasters would occur very frequently!”

…We’ll discuss this later, let the rain come down first!”

Feng Qing’an was also aware of this. If he took down the Water Monarch, then he had to choose another to take the seat. He couldn’t just let it be like the Bailang River, running through towering mountains. No matter who took the seat, it didn’t matter, but he couldn’t ignore the river that had large fields on both banks.

If he did ignore it, and a demon who harbored a strong hatred towards the human race took the position of Water Monarch, a flood could be triggered in a fit of anger, inundating thousands of acres of fertile land. How many people would be displaced and lose their homes?

Although this scenario was the worst, it was also quite possible. The development of human society inevitably suppresses the living space of other species of spirits. There are quite a few demon creatures that harbor resentment against the human race or are inherently greedy for the blood and souls of humans.

Like the demon clan of Wuling Mountain’s Su family, which mimics human rituals everywhere, it is still very rare. In fact, such a fox clan is a rare exception among the numerous types of demon clans, as numerous as the stars.

“Let’s go to the Water Mansion of the Wave River now, do you know where it

“I do!”

Sen Miao nodded. She had just entered the water and caused a commotion at the bottom of the river, reaching the doorstep of the Water Mansion, which led the Jiaolong (flood dragon) to come out.

“I’ll take a trip underwater, you guys stay here, don’t move, I’ll be back by dawn!”

Feng Qing’an looked at the warriors and gave them instructions. After they agreed, he rode on Sen Miao, entered the river, and disappeared. The two large black and white wolves also followed closely and plunged into the river.

The warriors looked at each other, but none of them followed. They were warriors who relied on their fists and feet on land. But once they entered the water, although they wouldn’t drown, most of their martial arts would be nullified and they wouldn’t be able to demonstrate much.

So, unless they reached the legendary Divine Elixir Realm, a state where every movement could shatter mountains and cut off rivers, warriors wouldn’t risk going into water lightly.

Underneath the river, Feng Qing’an had already seen the magnificent Dragon Palace, which surpassed by far that of the Bailang River’s Water Mansion. At this moment, the Dragon Armor around him exuded an unmatched majestic breath, with substantial dragon power spreading throughout the river bottom.

The Golden Scaled Flood Dragon wrapped around the young man leaped from his body, circling him erratically. With the movement of the golden dragon, the water at the bottom of the river was stirred up. An immeasurable amount of water spirit energy was devoured by it, and its body seemed to have turned into a bottomless chasm.

[Fifth Soul Contract: Bright Dragon]

[Race: Spirit Communicating Treasure Armor] [Attributes: Spirit, Dragon, Water, Thunder] [Potential Level: Monarch•Medium]

[Combat Level: Lord.Low]

Black Mountain, following behind Feng Qing’an, widened his eyes, watching

the roaming dragon that effortlessly completed its ascension at this moment, emitting a powerful aura, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

Because it witnessed its master obtaining the Dragon Armor, and the Armor’s step-by-step growth to its current state, Black Mountain initially did not consider the Armor as a competitor. However, the unfathomably fast growth rate of the Dragon Armor surprised Black Mountain.

Hum-

The ascended Dragon Armor emitted a hearty, prolonged chant that resonated with the river, prompting a myriad of distressed members of the water clan to emerge from the nearby Water Mansion, looking towards Feng Qing’an’s location.

The sudden fall of the River Water Monarch, who ruled over Wave River, and such a formidable life force disappearing suddenly, naturally, could not be concealed from the water clan in the river. The stronger the individual, the more evident the sensation.

Suddenly, the mountain pressing down on their heads was removed. Under an unguarded statement, such an occurrence happened. Although some of the demon clan in the river felt much more relaxed, confusion and unease filled their hearts, uncertain of what to do.

Without the oppressive feeling brought by the Water Monarch, they would face the unknown, which also meant they would have to deal with the terrifying existence that caused the Water Monarch’s fall.

The sudden presence of unfamiliar Dragon Might at the river bottom intensified the water clan’s fright and unease. Although this Dragon Might was much weaker than the Water Monarch, the majesty revealed by it was a few points more than that of the Water Monarch.

The bright Dragon Armor, having grown to a size of three Zhang and causing unrest at the river bottom, did not care at all and continued to show off while circling around Feng Qing’an.

Although it cannot be put on par with those monstrous creatures that are easily several tens of zhang, it is fundamentally different from those monsters.

Hum-

The bright Dragon Armor, whose spiritual power within had leapfrogged in growth, did not stay happy for long. Even though it was pure in nature, it could sense that it was still incomplete and had just made up for a very small part.

It swam in front of Feng Qing’an, opened its mouth like a well-behaved child desperate for praise, and gently spit out a large seal engraved with a coiling dragon. The seal flew from its mouth and Feng Qing’an caught it in his hand.

In the instant he came into contact with the divine weapon that had been completely refined and controlled by the Dragon Armor, Feng Qing’an knew the purpose of the Seal of the Ocean Suppression.

This seal holds the power of control and suppression over rivers and lakes!

If the one who controls this seal is strong enough, they could vie for authority with the Water Monarch, or even suppress the Water Monarch in turn, forcibly seizing control over a river.

“I should try it when I get a chance!”

With this seal that symbolizes the control of rivers and lakes to a certain extent in his hand, Feng Qing’an grew ambitious. Because he found that by holding the seal, even he had several times the control over the river currents than before, and it was no longer simply for the sake of avoiding water.

“It seems I might be capable of controlling the clouds and rain now!”

The Water Mansion of the Wave River was not far away, with the Seal of the Ocean Suppression, Feng Qing’an and his group boldly appeared in front of the panicking water clan.

The moment he appeared, this Dragon Palace within the Water Mansion erupted, and immediately, several powerful figures emitting the aura of demons dashed off in the direction farthest from Feng Qing’an.

“Am I that scary?

Upon realizing that he had merely shown up and already scared off a slew of formidable members of the water clan, who dispersed in all directions like frightened animals, Feng Qing’an touched his cheek without realizing it.

Without needing intuition, Feng Qing’an knew it was because of his face, which bore a seven out of ten resemblance to his elder brother, that had this strong reaction from the group of powerful water clan, leaving behind a pack of baffled, helpless, weaker members of the water clan standing in place, at a loss as to what to do.

Though their group appeared formidable at first glance, they felt exceedingly helpless in the face of the Dragon Palace. Even after the Water Mansion lost its Water Monarch, two formidable auras that triumphed over the demons still existed within it.

Monarch level!

The reserves of the far-reaching Wave River surpassed that of the Bailang River. This caused Feng Qing’an, who initially thought he was just coming to reap the benefits of war, to inevitably become serious..
