“I see!

“We’ve always thought that there’s some sort of Feng Shui layout in the Twin Dragon Mount. By the look of it, it’s a ‘hidden dragon’ setting—a concealed true Dragon Terrain!”

After Ji Ye came out of the Frigid Water, he changed back to his human form, got dressed, and told the others what he saw down there.

A few of the cultivating heroes immediately saw what he meant.

“A hidden dragon setting?”

Lin Dong was deep in his thoughts.

Although he was a modern urban architect, he still knew a thing or two about Feng Shui.

Especially in the past few days, he learned a lot from the cultivator heroes.

“Master Ji, do you know where the Dragon Terrain theory comes from?” Gongsun Sheng asked Ji Ye.

“It’s from the ‘Yang House Book: On Dragon’, which says that the start and end of a terrain are called ‘dragon’!” Ji Ye replied.

Although he mainly practiced martial arts, the stances of Dragon-Subduing Strike came from the Book of Changes and were related to Feng Shui theories as well. Moreover, when Wang Qing died, he dropped the Feng Shui Nurturing Method, which was a Special technique.

Although Ji Ye hadn’t fused it, he hadn’t fully comprehended it yet. However, he had done some preliminary research and knew some of the terms.

In the traditional Chidragon culture, mountains were seen as dragons.

The soil was dragon’s flesh, stones its bones, water its blood, and plants its hair.

Based on the shape of the Dragon Terrain, it could fall into one of the nine categories, namely, hidden dragon, descending dragon, living dragon, flying dragon, reclining dragon, leaping dragon, etc... And based on its quality, a Dragon Terrain could be an Elder Dragon, a True Dragon, a False Dragon, etc...

“Legend has it that because dragons would turn into mountains after they died, the Dragon Aura would accumulate in the mountains until they transformed into a dragon and fly back into the sky, like the way a phoenix was reborn through fire.

“Of course, no one knew if it was true. After all, no one had ever seen a mountain turning into a dragon and flying up into the sky.

“However, at least from what we know now, the Twin Dragon Mount was transformed from a Legendary True Dragon. That is to say, the Dragon Terrain is of the True Dragon type!” said Ninth Uncle.

“It’s a True Dragon Terrain!

“Although it’s yet to be decided if a mountain can actually turn back into a dragon, Feng Shui theories focus more on how to use the power of the Dragon Terrain. A person can really make great achievements by matching the Feng Shui setting with one’s own fortune!” Qiao Daoqing added in an excited tone.

Because the core of the Feng Shui skill on the Dragon Terrain was how to find the right location and turn the power inside into the luck of an individual or a force.

The more powerful a Dragon Terrain was, the more effective it would be.

For instance, Kunlun Mountain was the greatest mountain and the source of the Dragon Terrain of Chidragon. Because of the Elder Dragon Terrain, the culture of the country was able to be passed down for thousands of years without interruption.

As for mountains such as Qinling and Changbai, they had True Dragon Terrains. The Qin and Nüzhen people, who had obtained their powers respectively, were able to rule the country once.

Smaller Dragon Terrains were common or even false. The forces that had developed because of such Dragon Aura were either limited to a certain area or couldn’t last for very long.

Such forces were destroyed by those with a stronger aura.

“For instance, the Dragon Terrain of Wang Qing’s force was only Transcendent Level-1, which was a very ordinary one. Even if we enhance it with all we have, it won’t have any quantitative change.

“But the Dragon Terrain of the Twin Dragon Mount is a True Dragon. Even in Chidragon, it’s effective enough to help a force to gain power on a national scale.”

Zhu Wu, the Resourceful Advisor, came down from the Dragon Peak with twin sabers and looked rather excited.

The earthquake of the Twin Dragon Mount caught many people’s attention, and Zhu Wu, an expert in Daoist skills, was attracted here as well. He had also heard the discussion.

“Master Ji, we should make good use of this Dragon Terrain. If we can change the setting into a ‘flying dragon’ one, together with the Taiyi Mixed Elementary Grand Array, our settlement will be perfectly safe even if four enemy forces attack us all at once!”

Zhu Wu’s tone was sonorous and forceful.

After the leader of the Liao Kingdom died, the diagram of the Taiyi Mixed Elementary Grand Array was obtained by the people of Dragon City. From the diagram, Ji Ye learned that the array contained more than the four elements, such as Eastern Azure Dragon and Western White Tiger.

In fact, there was also a “Central Yellow Dragon”!

However, the Liao people had formed the array to attack the city and not to defend one. Therefore, they couldn’t use the Yellow Dragon at the center, which left a flaw in the array. As a result, after Zhu Wu, who was an array expert, arrived at Dragon City, they were able to destroy the ultimate array of the Liao Kingdom.

Of course, Ji Ye thought the real reason was that the Land of Inheritance found the complete Taiyi Mixed Elementary Grand Array too powerful.

After all, the Liao Kingdom wasn’t much weaker than the Song Dynasty in terms of its national strength. Even if it couldn’t reach the Legendary evaluation because of the settings in the novel, the Liao Kingdom was still a top Transcendent force!

If the Liao people could use the complete array, their combat ability might exceed the upper limit of the advancement test.

However, because they needed to attack the city, the Liao people couldn’t set up the completed array.

Since Dragon City was going to use the array to defend the city, they wouldn’t have such a problem.

“Master Ji, Zhu Wu suggested that we should move the Dragon Terrain into the city and place the Dragon Peak at the center as the Yellow Dragon.

“We’ll then form the Four Direction Feng Shui Array by forming the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise on the perimeter. When there’s a battle, we can activate five layers of Feng Shui power with 360 tiger-shaped tallies. Together with the 40 Taiyi Mixed Elementary Grand Array Flags, we’ll be able to protect us from even Transcendent enemies!” Zhu Wu added.

Ji Ye shook his head.

“Well, Transcendent Level-1 or Level-2 ones won’t be a problem.

“But I don’t think we’ll be able to withstand those of Level-3 and above.”

They could only see how much quantitative change they had in this breakthrough after they had reached the Transcendent level themselves.

Especially if they wanted to experience the variety of Transcendent abilities.

For instance, if a heavy nuclear warhead was thrown down at them, a normal array wouldn’t be able to withstand the heat, the radiation, and the shockwave.

Of course, it was also because the Feng Shui Jade Seal was only Transcendent Level-1 with limited maximal power.

If the level of this Transcendent treasure was higher, it would be able to activate the full Feng Shui power of the True Dragon Terrain. When that happened, maybe they wouldn’t need to worry about the Transcendent Level-3 Azure Flood Dragon, which might bring them trouble at any time.

Ji Ye gave it some thought and asked, “I remember that Feng Shui Nurturing Method contains a method of nurturing objects with the Dragon Aura. Guys, can we use this True Dragon Terrain to raise the level of the Feng Shui Jade Seal?”

Qiao Daoqing, who was the best at this of the four heroes, nodded first. “It’s doable, I think!”

He then shook his head, looking abashed. “But the level of this object is too high, and it’s beyond my power!”

Gongsun Sheng said, “I have limited ability in this field too.

“In fact, Master Ji, although the Dragon Terrain of the Twin Dragon Mount is a True Dragon, in terms of the setup, it’s a concealed dragon.

“That was why we weren’t able to find it early, and Master Ji didn’t realize it until he entered the cave and absorbed the power with the Feng Shui Jade Seal!

“According to the Book of Changes, if the dragon is hiding in deep water, it means that it’s not time for action. This Dragon Terrain is hidden underground with all its Feng Shui power hidden. To use it, we have to change its setup into ‘fire in the hole’ or ‘flying dragon’!”

Ji Ye knew something about that as well.

The Feng Shui power of a Dragon Terrain wasn’t constant. It could change according to the circumstances.

For instance, at first, the Dragon Terrain was at the “dragon hidden in deep water” stage. The power wouldn’t show and couldn’t be easily used.

When the Dragon Terrain changed into the “dragon in the field” or “fire in the hole” setup, someone obtaining the power could take this opportunity to show their talent and take advantage of the situation. They might even be able to create a dynasty.

Once the setup of the Dragon Terrain became the “flying dragon”, a dynasty would reach the peak of its prosperity.

But the power of a Dragon Terrain didn’t naturally belong to human beings. Once taken by force, the Dragon Aura would gradually fade until it reached the “dragon’s shame” stage.

By then, the dynasty would be replaced by a new one.

Because of that, even with a True Dragon Terrain, a dynasty wouldn’t last forever.

“But our settlement is different.

“The power of a Dragon Terrain is a type of resource as well. We can transform the power of providence into the power of Feng Shui. That way, we can maintain the ‘flying dragon’ setup!

“However, we know a thing or two about Feng Shui and have the terrain-changing ability given by the Land of Inheritance. With that, we can move the array into Dragon City, but to change the setup to a ‘flying dragon’ and match it with the Taiyi Mixed Elementary Grand Array, I’m not sure that we can do that,” said a few other cultivators.

Although Gongsun Sheng and Ninth Uncle were Perfect heroes and Zhu Wu and Qiao Daoqing were top Superior ones, all four of them were only Extraordinary heroes, whose knowledge was limited to that stage as well. But the Dragon Terrain in the Twin Dragon Mount was transformed from a Legendary True Dragon, which was two stages above them!

“That is to say, we’ll need to summon a Transcendent hero who’s a Feng Shui master. Right?”

Ji Ye saw what they meant.

Dragon City now had two Special Perfect items left. Theoretically, they could summon two Perfect Transcendent heroes.
