I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 255 190: The Millennium Marvel

The strange bone constructs crawled continuously on the ground, their eye sockets all glowing with green flames. As soon as they discovered Qin Yuesheng's approach, they quickly scurried over.

These bone creatures were obviously weaker than living corpses; Qin Yuesheng didn't even need to use Inner Strength. With a casual flick of his Celestial Demon Blade, he easily shattered them into numerous bone fragments.

However, these creatures had a bizarre vitality. Even when shattered, the bones continued to twitch on the ground, and the skulls with green flames kept rolling toward Qin Yuesheng.

Frowning slightly, Qin Yuesheng kicked these skulls into pieces or into the sea outside the island, finally halting their mobility.

"You have quite the nerve to come alone to the island; you're indeed a Life Star individual, heh heh heh."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed from all directions. The voice was so ethereal that Qin Yuesheng couldn't immediately pinpoint its source.

"Are you from the Ghost Race?" Upon hearing the person speak, Qin Yuesheng immediately asked.

Only the Ghost Race could speak and control so many evil spirits in this way, as Qin Yuesheng had encountered before.

"Of course not, I'm a bona fide person."

"If you're human, then why harm your kind?" Qin Yuesheng said coldly, wielding the Celestial Demon Blade in one hand and the Dragon-Slaying Sword in the other.

As soon as he revealed both weapons, the voice hesitated for a moment, then exclaimed with apparent interest, "Oh! Could this be the Dragon-Slaying Sword from the ancient Qin and Han times, used specifically by diviners to cut dragon veins? Indeed, you are a Life Star individual, with incredible fortune to possess such a Divine Soldier!"

Hearing the other person instantly recount the origin of the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand, Qin Yuesheng felt particularly astonished.

He knew that the Dragon-Slaying Sword had emerged from an ancient Qin-Han stone stele, a relic from that era. This person must be either a well-informed master or a creature from that period if they could recognize it.

If it's the latter, Qin Yuesheng had truly entered a dragon's lair this time.

It was as if the person hadn't spoken to anyone in ages, or perhaps he'd already considered Qin Yuesheng as a turtle in a jar, as he didn't initiate an attack but instead talked to himself.

"I remember when Jiang Cheng Bawang established the Eastern Dynasty in the Central Plains. After two emperors, the fortune weakened significantly, and the dragon's spirit thinned. The National Preceptor Wen Tianci was tasked with finding a dragon vein in the nine provinces to relocate the capital and consolidate the Eastern Dynasty's royal power.

Wen Tianci was remarkable; after a year and a half of searching mountains and rivers, he found a dragon vein. But as the Eastern Dynasty planned to move the capital, Wen Tianci discovered with surprise that someone had already buried their ancestors there. Even if the Eastern Dynasty moved,

the dragon's spirit wouldn't transfer to the Jiang family. In response, Wen Tianci devised a scheme, as the dragon vein was within a large mountain. He ordered all the county offices near the mountain to declare the emperor's intention to build a summer villa there. Any family with ancestors buried in the mountain would receive a hundred taels of silver to relocate their graves.

Once the decree was issued, countless citizens hurriedly moved their ancestors' graves for the hundred taels of silver, whether they were prominently marked or simply wrapped in cloth and buried. Alas, they didn't realize they had forsaken the vast territory and dynasty of the Central Plains for silver.

The dragon vein changed hands, frightened into fleeing, and Wen Tianci built a villa atop the mountain, using a replica Dragon-Slaying Sword to suppress the dragon vein and prevent its escape. Hence, he extended the Jiang family's hundred-year dynasty, making his action a famed imperial example among diviners."

Qin Yuesheng frowned; he had read about the Jiang family and the Eastern Dynasty in the Qin family library, a dynasty lasting three to four hundred years in history, but he had never heard of this particular story.

"Could it be, you are Wen Tianci?" Qin Yuesheng suddenly asked.

According to records, Wen Tianci was a formidable diviner who followed Jiang Cheng Bawang before the nation was founded. Once Jiang Cheng Bawang succeeded in establishing the empire, Wen Tianci became the National Preceptor, leaving countless classic examples behind. Yet, he suddenly vanished later, with no one knowing his whereabouts.

Some say the Jiang family found his long life unnatural, fearing he might one day proclaim himself king, so they executed him.

Others say Wen Tianci lived for hundreds of years, sought immortality, and traveled to find a way to become immortal.

Some assert he surely died of old age, as immortality doesn't exist.

Various theories abound, yet none are particularly convincing.
