Their appearances and information naturally piqued the curiosity of people from various dynasties.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty,
In the imperial court, Li Shimin was discussing plans for a foreign expedition with his civil and military officials.
But with a loud bang, they saw the scene on the heaven's curtain.
"The world is vast, and there's nothing new under the sun. Above the void, there are Qiu Dragon floating above the stars, and countless Dragon Descendants scattered across the universe.
Could it be that the dragons mentioned by the ancients actually refer to these clans with dragon horns on their heads?"
Li Shimin looked up, staring in shock at the slowly advancing scene on the screen.
At this time, Li Shimin was in his prime, and he held a disdainful attitude towards immortality and elixirs.
For example, in the first year of Zhenguan, he declared: "The matter of immortals is inherently false, merely a name."
Later he said: "Life is the great virtue of heaven and earth, and longevity is the constant number of laziness and shortness. Life has a seven-foot form, and longevity is measured in hundreds... Life must have an end, and none can escape it."
Although in his old age, he also became a heavy drug user.
One golden elixir swallowed, and from then on, the bamboo mat enveloped the withered body. Oh, right, as the Son of Heaven, he should be lying in a coffin, and then do it again.
One golden elixir swallowed, and from then on, the small box is home.
But when the five supreme giant dragons appeared, even this eternal emperor was startled.
And when the dead dragon appeared, the slight pressure it emitted made him take several deep breaths.
He leaned back in his chair, eyes wide open, staring at the light screen.
"This Dragon Ancestor is so enormous, I'm afraid the entire Great Tang combined wouldn't even be a ten-thousandth of one of its scales."
Then Li Shimin turned his head and asked Fang Xuanling, who was beside him, curiously, "Have you ever heard of such a divine name as the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons of the Heavenly Abyss, as shown on this light screen?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanling also shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, your humble servant is ignorant and has never heard of it in the books I have read."
"However..." he paused and continued, "However, your humble servant has heard that both Buddhist and Daoist schools speak of myriad worlds."
"Perhaps the Dragon Ancestor mentioned in the sky is not from our world. Why not invite the people from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to come here and ask which star that Rea Fal is."
During the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty.
Two officials, one tall and one short, stood beside Emperor Qianlong, looking up at the light screen.
Emperor Qianlong trembled with excitement, constantly muttering the words "immortality" and "longevity."
His eyes turned ardently to the side, and he said to Heshen, "Heshen, immediately issue an imperial decree to summon all Buddhist and Daoist sects in the world to hold a dharma assembly. I want the Dragon Ancestor to bestow blessings, I want eternal life!"
"Order the provincial governors to collect all treasures in the world and present them to the immortal gods. Anyone who delays me, the true Son of Heaven, from meeting the Dragon Ancestor, will have their nine generations exterminated!!!"
However, rather than saying that Emperor Qianlong sought immortality,
It would be more accurate to say he was attached to power; he wished to wield power forever, hence his need for longevity.
Another figure similar to Emperor Qianlong was the famous Daoist Emperor, whose titles included Supreme Great Luo Heavenly Immortal, Purple Pole Eternal Life, Sagely Wise and Resplendent, Unifying Primordial Manifestation Jade Palace, Overall Master of Five Thunders Great True Person, Xuan Du Realm, and Myriad Longevity Emperor.
(The punctuation is my own judgment, it might be incorrect, please don't blame me. Experts can offer guidance.)
Jiajing Emperor was leisurely soaking his feet in wine while savoring the nauseating red pills.
But upon seeing the scene on the light screen, he kicked over his foot-soaking basin.
"Longevity, immortality, they're all mine, all mine!!"
"I am the true Son of Heaven, I am a Dragon Descendant!"
"Someone! Get Tao Wenzhong to find a way for me to transform into a dragon!!"
His face was contorted, veins bulging on his forehead, and his eyes were dark.
-----
The scene continued to advance.
The Dragon Master with two horns on his head turned around and spoke to the scribe, Oppenheimer.
【The sun and moon revolve, and worldly affairs are impermanent. In this ever-changing universe,】
As the Dragon Master's aged voice responded, one image after another unfolded in the scroll.
On the light screen.
An Ying Dragon with two wings on its back floated in the sky, embracing a crimson blood moon in its chest.
Beside it, wind and thunder roared, the wind like sharp blades, the thunder like chains.
Firmly imprisoning the blood moon in its embrace.
Beside it, a line of introduction appeared.
Yaoging Dragon Lord, master of the Ying Dragon tradition. Controls wind and thunder, responsible for guarding the embryonic moon. Title: 【Heavenly Wind Lord】
【 (Unchanging) is meaningless; only by deeply understanding all phenomena and aligning with the Dao can one】
Another Qiu Dragon, with flames on its head, held an eternally burning furnace in its two claws.
There seemed to be a living creature in the furnace, struggling fiercely in the blazing fire, trying to break free from it.
The Qiu Dragon spat out heavenly fire, adding it to the cauldron.
The flames grew more intense, and the creature in the furnace struggled even harder.
Zhuming Dragon Lord, master of the Qiu Dragon tradition. Radiates heavenly fire, responsible for guarding the Primordial Suihuang. Title: 【Blazing Court Lord】
【Reach eternity.】
A graceful Flood Dragon, covered in ice and snow, dazzlingly beautiful, coiled around a mountain peak.
In the distant background, an endless expanse of countless eternal glaciers stood there.
The cold wind was biting, and all was silent.
Loneliness, coldness.
Fanghu Dragon Lord, master of the Flood Dragon tradition. Tames the icy sea, responsible for guarding the tiny sea of mist. Title: 【Huyan Lord】
【Transform like a star, and be one with it. One dragon falls, myriad things are born. For us the Vidyadhara, this is the true meaning of immortality (Dragon Ancestor).】
This time, a Earth Dragon, covered in earthy, stony scales, like a stone sculpture, appeared in the scene.
It grew on a spiny back, encircling mountains and ridges.
A sense of profound weight came over, as if it were the earth itself.
And beneath it, an earthen stone was constantly extending and spreading outwards, as if it were a living thing.
Jade Palace Dragon Lord, master of the Earth Dragon tradition. Meditates in silence, responsible for guarding the Xirang Abyss Stone. Title: 【Kun Gang Lord】
At this point, the Dragon Master in the scene sighed, his words pausing for several seconds.
Waiting until the 【scribe】 Oppenheimer, who was not far away, could not help but ask a question,
The Dragon Master then slowly said: 【However, in this endless cycle, any end will become a new beginning, and for him..., it is no exception.】
In this scene, an extremely discordant and bizarre figure appeared.
Unlike the previous four Dragon Lords, he did not appear in his true form on the light screen, with boundless power overwhelming the viewer.
He took on the form of a Dragon Descendant, sitting by a stream and waterfall.
And on his body, there were several shackles, heavy chains connecting his limbs and bones, imprisoning this person here.
He had jade-like dragon horns on his head, long hair down to his waist, and wore a blue brocade robe, noble and luxurious, certainly not like an ordinary Dragon Descendant.
But even the introductory subtitles paused for several seconds before slowly appearing.
Luofu Dragon Lord, master of the Azure Dragon tradition. Commands clouds and rain, responsible for guarding the Undying Jianmu. Title: 【Moon Eater Lord】
As the scene gradually advanced, amidst the Dragon Master's sigh,
A red character appeared next to the Luofu Dragon Lord.
Due to his unauthorized use of the Dragon Transformation Art, which led to the 【Moon Eater Rebellion】, he was judged by the Ten-Lords Commission, subjected to the Scale-Shedding Art, exiled from the Immortal Boat, and forbidden to return forever.
