Chapter 88: Chapter 86: Sea-Defending Great Wall, Dragon Abyss Grand Array!

[Zhao Qingzhou, with barely a century of Dao practice, surprisingly rose swiftly to become the General of Jianghuai Pass.

This caused an uproar in the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, sparking dissatisfaction among many Qi Cultivators and Demon Cultivators, who repeatedly ventured to Jianghuai Pass, wishing to challenge the authority of this newly appointed General with their own mystical arts.]

[However, no matter how intricate their magic was, none could withstand even one punch from Zhao Qingzhou—the Infinite Heaven-Flipping Seal.]

[The Qi Cultivators naturally felt indignant, believing that if not for the lack of Magical Treasures to assist them, a mere crude Martial Artist would never be their match. This pride and dissatisfaction intensified like a fierce fire burning oil.]

[Until one day, from the North Sea Abyss, a Dragon Monarch led three thousand Daoist Soldiers, marching grandly to confront Zhao Qingzhou.]

[However, this seemingly one-sided confrontation turned into the Dragon Monarch being struck dizzy by Zhao Qingzhou with a hundred hits of the Infinite Heaven-Flipping Seal.]

[If not for the Dragon Monarch’s reliance on the power of a Magical Treasure to escape, his dragon tendons would have nearly been extracted by Zhao Qingzhou.]

[Zhao Qingzhou wielding the True Dragon Power with just his flesh body displayed the pinnacle power of the Martial Dao, capable of equating with a True Immortal. Such a feat, how can it not stir the hearts and move the spirits of those who witness it?]

[Mind you, a True Immortal holds a highly esteemed position in the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, second only to a True Monarch. For Zhao Qingzhou to be comparable to them marks yet another path of cultivation.]

[After this battle,]

[Zhao Qingzhou came to the small town to ask if I could pass on his martial arts. Naturally, I accepted with joy, after all, the path of Martial Dao cannot be exhausted by just one person or one sage. The martial art "Ten Thousand Species Struggle for Freedom in the Frosty Sky" indeed requires the gathering of true intent in martial arts worldwide to truly shine.]

[Soon, Zhao Qingzhou revealed that he was once guided by the alien "Martial Master" in his youth, who taught him the secrets of the Martial Dao through the first to seventh realms. Now, he has reached the pinnacle of the seventh realm—the Divine Realm!]

[With Zhao Qingzhou’s rise, Martial Dao in the Qingxu Realm officially emerged, shaking the heavens.]

[His command gathered eight hundred True Gang Martial Artists, though their individual strengths were not top-notch, a mere few dozen teaming up could suppress those True Cultivators with eight hundred years of Dao practice but without handy Magical Artefacts.]

[In comparison, becoming a "Qi Cultivator" requires considering factors such as Immortal Fate, opportunity, cultivation technique, fortune, etc. But the path of Martial Dao is clearer and more direct; as long as one dares to take the risk, there is something to gain.]

[Except for not achieving longevity, everything else is fine.]

[Therefore, quite a few Powerful Martial Artists initially preparing to join the ranks of "Daoist Soldiers" switched over to Jianghuai Pass, hoping to showcase their skills under Zhao Qingzhou’s command.]

[Even the orthodox sect of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, the "Heavenly Repair Dao" sent disciples to observe the event. Witnessing the flourishing era of Martial Dao, and fortune like dragons, they understood that another "Great Divine Power User" was establishing a Dao lineage here, so after exchanging greetings, they silently withdrew.]

[During Zhao Qingzhou’s ventures outside, he married the Seventh Princess of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, the two had a grand wedding, joyfully tying the knot.]

[At this time, the overt and covert strife between the Dragon Race and Human Race intensified, battle and slaughter reoccurring within the Four Seas.]

[Facing the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, the orthodox forces issued warnings, and the Three Divine Dynasties had already joined forces to deal with it.

They used the major passes as the array eyes and leveraged the majestic momentum of the mountain ranges of the Nineteen Continents to form the Heaven and Earth Grand Array, thereby establishing the Sea-Defending Great Wall.]

[Zhao Qingzhou, by his strength alone, capable of battling True Dragon Power, his power far surpasses an ordinary True Immortal.

Therefore, he was appointed as the Great Wall Commander of the region west of the North Sea, becoming the reliable lieutenant of the "Lingxu True Monarch" seated here.]

[Time passes swiftly, and it is now the third millennium. The Dragon Race launched a full-scale invasion, rekindling war flames, the situation growing more precarious.]

[The North Sea Dragon King and his subordinate Dragon Monarchs were numerous. Though the North Sea Dragon King was restrained by the Lingxu True Monarch, his subordinate Dragon Monarchs were remarkable, definitely not opponents that ordinary Generals and Qi Cultivators could contend with.]

[Atop the Sea-Defending Great Wall, it’s unknown how many human heroes died heroically every century, the tragic sight leaving many shaking their heads in regret.]

[The Great Yu Divine Dynasty deeply feeling the severity of the situation, sent individuals to the orthodox "Heavenly Repair Dao" to seek aid. However, most True Persons and Qi Cultivators within the Heavenly Repair Dao already went into seclusion for cultivation thousands of years ago, making immediate assistance difficult.]

[Zhao Qingzhou, as the Commander of the Sea-Defending Great Wall, faced with so many Dragon Monarchs, can well imagine the pressure he was under.]

[He fought alone at sea, even suppressing one Dragon Monarch required arduous effort. And within the Four Seas, resources were abundant, each Dragon Monarch possessed Magical Treasures for protection.]

[Various Dragon Monarchs coordinating, causing Zhao Qingzhou to suffer losses multiple times; if not for the "Mountain and River Seal" shielding him, he would have already fallen. He had to passively defend the Sea-Defending Great Wall, making active counterattacks difficult.]

[Three hundred years later, the East Sea Dragon King killed the "Mountain-Moving True Monarch," summoned a great flood to submerge Li State, reducing the power of the Sea-Defending Great Wall’s grand array by thirty percent, continuously leading to breaches in the Sea-Defending Great Wall.]

[The Lingxu True Monarch seeing that the situation had turned sour, aware that the Sea-Defending Great Wall could no longer be maintained, considered the notion of withdrawing from here, returning to the Divine Land. Zhao Qingzhou hearing this, showed hesitation and worryingly asked: "Master True Monarch, if we leave, then what will happen to the beings of the Three Continents behind the Sea-Defending Great Wall?"]

[The Lingxu True Monarch hearing this, gently shook her head, though possessing a Magical Treasure that created its own universe, it could not accommodate the beings of an entire continent. What then would be the fate of those unable to be taken?]

[The answer is already tacitly understood.]

[Zhao Qingzhou knew well that under the overwhelming waves of the Dragon Race, less than one in ten beings from the Three Continents could survive. If he chose to leave, behind him would be countless families shattered and despairing.]

[In this critical moment, the only solution in his heart was to first evacuate the beings from the Three Continents quickly, while he and his colleagues would steadfastly hold the ground here for another century, to strive for a glimmer of hope for the beings.]

[Zhao Qingzhou, with his wife and children, fortified the Sea-Defending Great Wall and finally awakened his memories of past lives, successfully utilizing the power of the "Mountain and River Seal" to drastically subdue several True Dragons, borrowing the Dragon Vein to set up a Mountain and River Grand Array atop the Great Wall.]

[This Magical Treasure for the Dragon Race was akin to their nemesis, making the True Dragons dare not act recklessly.]

[Lingxu True Monarch surprisingly chose to stay, lending Zhao Qingzhou a helping hand, forming a subtle balance with the North Sea Dragon King. Both sides harbored fears, this stalemate persisted for decades.]

[The Dragon Kings of the Three Seas each engulfed the Nineteen Continents under their control, only the North Sea Dragon King was obstructed by the Human Race, losing face, deeply fearing accountability from the Ancestral Dragon, helplessly, he had to personally lower his Dragon King pride and sent out signals seeking help from other Dragon Kings.]

[Facing the North Sea Dragon King’s plea for help, the three Dragon Kings first sneered, revealing a sense of mockery.]

[Subsequently, the West Sea Dragon King brought the "Sea-Suppressing Divine Pearl" personally to break the "Sea-Defending Great Wall."]

[The two Dragon Kings combined their forces, a thousand-foot True Dragon Body soared into the sky, two Sea-Suppressing Divine Pearls shone like the Sun and Moon, causing the immense waves to cover the sky and obscure the sun.]

[Dragon Abyss Grand Array!! Rise!!]
