Chapter 841 -258 Are you trying to starve Dragon Lord to death?! (Please subscribe)_2
If the Great Tang Emperor had known who had built the Zhen Yun Ding, that would have truly been a surprise.
Cheng Guang had simply asked in passing, and it didn’t matter that the Great Tang Emperor hadn’t been able to answer.
Cheng Guang then asked again, “Did you ever have contact with this Zhen Yun Ding in those years?”
When Cheng Guang asked this question, his gaze was tightly fixed on the Great Tang Emperor.
Such a demeanor indicated that this question was very important to him.
The Great Tang Emperor, feeling the intensity of Cheng Guang’s gaze, inexplicably felt a great deal of pressure. After swallowing dryly, he said with a somewhat hoarse voice, “Actually…”
“At the beginning of the Great Tang, we did have this Zhen Yun Ding.”
“At the founding of the Great Tang, someone presented nine Zhen Yun Ding as a tribute.”
“Then, my father, the previous emperor, used these Zhen Yun Ding to suppress the nation’s fortune.”
“However, after some turmoil, when I took my place on the throne, I found that each time the Zhen Yun Ding was used to suppress the nation’s fortune, it seemed to weaken the dynasty, as if it were not really suppressing the fortune but rather draining it.”
“Afterward, I discarded its use.”
“Unexpectedly, after discarding it, there was a period of instability, and then, without the Zhen Yun Ding, the dynasty’s fortune actually began to flourish even more.”
“But…”
The Great Tang Emperor’s face turned somewhat unsightly as he spoke these words.
“But then, a series of disasters occurred, leaving me unsure if they were natural or man-made.”
“It’s very possible that they still have something to do with the Zhen Yun Ding.”
After hearing the Great Tang Emperor’s words, Cheng Guang gained a certain understanding and recognition of the Zhen Yun Ding.
The purpose of the Zhen Yun Ding was very clear; it was absorbing the fortune of the dynasty.
The other side was absorbing the dynasty’s fortune, for what purpose?
Just to absorb the dynasty’s fortune by absorbing it?
Cheng Guang didn’t quite understand the purpose of the Zhen Yun Ding or, to be precise, the purpose of the Rainbow Divine Dragon within it.
If possible, Cheng Guang really wanted to pull out the Rainbow Divine Dragon hidden within the Zhen Yun Ding right now and give it a good thrashing.
However, for now, Cheng Guang felt it was best to put aside the Zhen Yun Ding and the Rainbow Divine Dragon hidden within it.
Now that Cheng Guang himself had discovered the deception of the Zhen Yun Ding and knew that the Rainbow Divine Dragon within it was nothing but a huge freeloader, he certainly wouldn’t let this giant leech cause trouble for him.
If the other side was determined only to consume, couldn’t it do some work too?
Cheng Guang felt that he needed to find something for this freeloader to do.
He couldn’t let it idle away, only eating without working—it wouldn’t be acceptable.
Thinking this, when Cheng Guang’s gaze fell upon the Zhen Yun Ding again, his eyes took on an indefinable gleam.
The Rainbow Divine Dragon inside the Zhen Yun Ding continued to voraciously feed on the empire’s fortune being drawn from the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty.
When Cheng Guang looked towards the Zhen Yun Ding and his thoughts touched upon it, the Rainbow Divine Dragon, as if perceiving something through a mystic premonition, shuddered uncontrollably.
It was just that it had no hairs to stand on end.
Otherwise, at that moment, the Rainbow Divine Dragon might have well looked thoroughly ruffled.
“Who is thinking of the Dragon Lord?”
The Rainbow Divine Dragon looked around vigilantly.
Even the empire’s fortune it had been guzzling paused for the moment.
Looking around and perceiving no one thinking of it, the Rainbow Divine Dragon couldn’t help but mutter to itself.
And while the Rainbow Divine Dragon was muttering,
Cheng Guang severed the continuous extraction of the empire’s fortune from the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty by the Zhen Yun Ding.
The empire’s fortune that had been extracted from the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty by the Zhen Yun Ding was already substantial.
Continuing to draw more would yield nothing.
The Fate of the Heavenly Dao was completely drained.
Cheng Guang saw no need to waste more time here.
After stowing away the Zhen Yun Ding and cutting off the channel that was drawing the empire’s fortune from the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty,
a tumultuous noise suddenly emitted from within the Zhen Yun Ding.
Following that,
Cheng Guang could hear the Rainbow Divine Dragon inside the Zhen Yun Ding, sounding frantic and utterly irate.
“Hey!”
“Damn brat!!!”
“Are you trying to starve me to death?!!!”
“Do you understand how important I am??”
“Is this how you treat your Dragon Lord?”
Listening to the voice of the Rainbow Divine Dragon, Cheng Guang only felt annoyed.
This freeloader, calling itself Dragon Lord at every turn, did nothing; it just knew how to feed itself.
Beset by calamity, still a calamity.
If it weren’t for the fact that his aggressor could extract the Fate of the Heavenly Dao for Cheng Guang himself, Cheng Guang would have rather smashed the Zhen Yun Ding by now.
Along with that damned parasite.
At this moment, Cheng Guang’s thoughts closely mirrored those of the Great Tang Emperor.
Back when the Great Tang Emperor had harbored such ideas, he directly smashed the Zhen Yun Ding.
And after the Zhen Yun Ding was destroyed,
there was indeed a period of peace in the realm.
But later on…
Disasters began to arise anew.
The cultivation of everyone under heaven faced significant difficulties.
The Great Tang Emperor did not know if this was due to his own destruction of the Zhen Yun Ding, or because of the subsequent chain reactions his actions caused.
The Great Tang Emperor, seeing the Zhen Yun Ding reappear at this time, felt an extreme complexity of emotions.
At first, he almost failed to recognize that the Zhen Yun Ding in the hands of Cheng Guang, was the very same one he had personally destroyed.
Because that Zhen Yun Ding…
had indeed been thoroughly obliterated by him.
How could it now…
still appear in the hands of Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir?
The Great Tang Emperor didn’t quite understand.
But he knew better than to ask directly.
Meanwhile, Cheng Guang was growing increasingly impatient with the Rainbow Divine Dragon, seriously considering destroying the Zhen Yun Ding to thoroughly erase the huge parasite concealed within from the river of time.
It seemed that the Rainbow Divine Dragon sensed something,
hastily covering its mouth,
daring not to speak any further,
behaving very obediently.
Seeing the behavior of the Rainbow Divine Dragon, Cheng Guang slightly raised an eyebrow.
Then he stored the Zhen Yun Ding in his storage ring.
This parasite didn’t seem to be completely foolish.
It had some ability to read the room.
Furthermore, Cheng Guang also knew that this parasite was able to observe the outside world through the Zhen Yun Ding.
Otherwise,
at the beginning, it would not have been able to send its voice directly into Cheng Guang’s mind.
It claimed to be the Artifact Spirit of the Zhen Yun Ding.
But…
How should he put this?
Out of ten words, Cheng Guang would at least doubt nine of them.
If it really was an Artifact Spirit,
Cheng Guang would not even be interested in completing the subsequent tasks.
Because the rewards for the system’s upcoming tasks were Zhen Yun Ding the second,
rewarding Cheng Guang himself with Zhen Yun Ding.
This time, directly rewarding two of them.
If every Zhen Yun Ding contained a huge parasite like the Rainbow Divine Dragon, all Cheng Guang could say was, hurry up and destroy them.
Quickly.
Cheng Guang’s face darkened a bit as he stuffed the Zhen Yun Ding into the storage ring.
Then he turned to look at the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty lying on the ground.
“Every so often, I will come to look for you.”
“Face any dangers on your own, and if you can’t cope, come to find me.”

“Or perhaps, it is acceptable to send word to The Residence of the Duke Protector of Great Zhou.”
Cheng Guang said to the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty.
Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty initially looked dull and foolish, but soon regained a spirited expression.
Because the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty suddenly realized that this unknown existence, Cheng Guang, did not seem intent on abandoning him after reaping benefits.
Nor would he confine the emperor like the previous grey-robed Daoist had done.
Instead, he promised to help him resolve some trouble.
The promises made by this unknown existence, Cheng Guang, fit the desires of the Emperor of the Holy Fish Dynasty perfectly.
He couldn’t find a shred of security from head to toe right now!
