Chapter 667: Harvest of the Ceremony

Closing her eyes, Lolan Hill extended her consciousness into the dragon vein, attempting to correct its deviated trajectory. However, the scene before her was entirely different from what she had encountered earlier.

Previously, she merely needed to follow the flow of the dragon vein, like a passenger on a ship, without much effort. But now, when she tried to influence and manipulate the direction of the dragon vein, it was akin to a regular person trying to change the course of a massive ship weighing thousands of tons, which was extremely difficult.

She had never cultivated the Dragon Sequence and did not know how to guide the dragon vein’s flow according to the rituals of the dragon-descended lineage. She could only mimic the methods used by the dragon witch-priestess to regulate the dragon vein’s flow and relied on her natural affinity with wind and atmosphere to slowly influence the dragon vein’s energy.

Unfortunately, even with this approach, it was still incredibly challenging for Lolan Hill. After several attempts, she felt a surge of fatigue and dizziness, almost losing her balance. But after multiple tries, she managed to find some tricks by observing the witch-priestess’s manipulation process, making her method more skillful and gentle.

Threads of flowing flames and gentle winds mixed with the power of the dragon vein, traversing through mountains and rivers. After a long while, the running trajectory finally stopped deviating and splitting. However, this also gradually reached the limit of what Lolan Hill could currently influence, still far from returning to its original path. After all, she was only at Sequence 3 and couldn’t fully utilize her innate talents and powers.

As Lolan Hill slowly felt exhausted and regretted her efforts, a peculiar force emerged from the depths of her soul. It was both unfamiliar and familiar, as if it were her own essence, yet completely unknown to her.

This pale golden force was even more powerful than the dragon vein’s force, almost like the ultimate enhancement of the dragon vein’s power. Just a hint of its presence suppressed the dragon vein in the Yan Yao Continent, making it as obedient as a tiny worm.

Under the influence of this force, the originally uncontrollable dragon vein suddenly changed. Instead of being heavy and sluggish, it became agile and light, swiftly returning to its predetermined path, flowing through mountains and rivers, smoothly guiding local spiritual energy, balancing climate, regulating temperature and moisture.

The priests and priestesses on the altar also felt a sudden relief in their hearts. The heavy pressure they had been under abruptly vanished, leaving them feeling lighter.

In the evening sunlight, the clouds in the sky turned into fiery red flames, and the cloud-formed great fish gradually transformed into a long, circling dragon in the sky, encircling the Yan Yao state city.

Finally, the red-robed priestess at the center slowly stopped dancing. Her long dress, fluttering in the wind, gradually settled down. She opened her eyes, looking gratefully at the crowd below, searching for the hero who had come to her aid.

Unfortunately, despite her exquisite beauty, the priestess searched for a long time but failed to find the mysterious person who had intervened. She could only lower her eyes in disappointment.

Perhaps the person didn’t think highly of her or the Yan Yao Red Ray Gate, she thought to herself, then lifted her head again.

Although she didn’t know who had secretly intervened to calm and adjust the dragon vein, the action undoubtedly saved the Yan Yao Red Ray Gate and the Yan Yao Continent. Otherwise, the uncontrollable dragon vein would have become burning celestial fire, destroying crops, livestock, civilians, and even tourists from various regions.

At that time, as a severely negligent gate in the ceremony, not only would the Yan Yao Red Ray Gate lose its title from the House of Plantagenet, but many disciples would also be punished and sent to the Autumn Office to face legal penalties. As the main priestess, she would be the first to bear the brunt.

Unfortunately, the mysterious hero did not reveal themselves, perhaps out of fear of trouble. She thought to herself and bowed slightly, her silk-like hair sliding past her waist, expressing her sincere gratitude to the unnamed hero.

After the ceremony, fireworks rose one by one, blooming in the night sky. The entire city entered a festive celebration, with bustling laughter and joy in every street and alley.

Lolan Hill dispersed with the crowd after the ceremony and walked towards the bustling street nearby.

On either side were pedestrians, old and young, young men and women, horse-drawn carts carrying goods, and sightseeing tourists. The young lady looked with interest at the virtual screen in her field of vision.

[Task Completed! Organizing the harvest.]

[Gain insight into the operation of the dragon vein!]

[Obtain the cultivation manual of the Yan Yao Red Ray Gate, “Yan Yao Transforms into Dragon Art” (Pearl grade, rare, can be further optimized)]

Although there was a slight risk of exposure, she still gained quite a bit. Lolan Hill felt a secret joy inside.

This “Yan Yao Transforms into Dragon Art” was a method of cultivating the Dragon Sequence, following the orthodox path of the dragon-descended lineage. Its ability mainly involved guiding the mountain and river dragon veins, changing the regional feng shui and climate, and balancing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Although recovering her memories was important, watching the priestess lead the ceremony today made her feel interested. It seemed she needed to find a good opportunity to delve deeper. Perhaps in the future, she would need to focus on the Dragon Sequence since it had too many advantages in the Eastern Continent.

Hiding the system’s screen, she heard a greeting from beside her.

“Miss Jialan is here too, what a coincidence.” The two fellow students she met a few days ago appeared next to the young lady again.

“Mm, quite a coincidence,” the young lady smiled and winked, actually having noticed the two people’s intentions over the past couple of days.

Naturally, she couldn’t agree, as she had many things she wanted to do and wasn’t interested in love. However, these two weren’t bad people, so Lolan Hill didn’t have much aversion to them.

However, for those overly suggestive hints, she could only pretend not to understand or see them. Revealing them would make it awkward for everyone involved.

“How did you find the ceremony today, Miss Jialan? My senior brother and I gained much insight within the dragon vein, increasing our understanding of our own cultivation,” the junior student attempted to strike up a conversation.

“It truly is impressive, the power of the mountain and river dragon veins is immense,” Lolan Hill responded.

“Indeed, indeed, I feel the same way,” the white-robed junior student fanned himself and began to share his insights in detail.

If ordinary sect disciples were to hear the lord’s analysis of his own insights, they might be entranced and greatly benefit. Even disciples from major sects could combine their own insights with his to gain certain benefits.

Unfortunately, Lolan Hill understood the dragon vein’s insights more deeply, so listening to him had little effect.

“Thank you for your explanation, but Jialan has other matters to attend to, so she must take her leave,” she politely curtsied and then left lightly.

Watching the distant figure of the young lady, the two junior students wanted to continue talking, but in a blink, she disappeared into the crowd, unseen.

The clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, sparsely dotting the dark blue night sky. The twilight illuminated the region once more, and the rustling leaves told of the gentle and comfortable evening breeze.
