Chapter 1: Shen Long Crosses Over

  On a big mountain in Xianyang, Shaanxi, Shen Long looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh, "Alas..."

  Shen Longyuan was originally from Shanxi, Huaxia. After graduating from high school, he had no chance to attend university due to his family's poor situation, so he started to make a living on his own very early. However, the Shen family had been struggling for generations, and their interpersonal relationships were also very poor. He did many jobs but none of them were satisfactory. Not only was he not doing well, but he was also constantly bullied and exploited by capitalist vampires. He couldn't even provide for his basic needs, let alone get married and have children.

  However, things always have variables. Three years after graduation, both parents were in a car accident. When sorting through their belongings, an old trunk sealed with ancient wax was unexpectedly found.

  I bought a dagger to open the fire lacquer, opened the box, and found a book, a compass, several ancient coins, a few yellow talismans, and some other things inside. The book was titled "Easy Fate".

  Shen Long took a look at these old objects, suspecting that they might be antiques. With an excited heart, Shen Long flipped open the book, and from the first page on, Shen Long's face changed color constantly, becoming multicolored. The corners of his mouth also opened wider and wider.

  Shen Long firmly believes that this is a turning point in his life journey. "Yi Ming" is a book on Feng Shui, which records various Feng Shui phenomena and solutions, among which the most detailed is the method of changing a person's destiny.

  Shen Long decided to study this unconventional art of Feng Shui.

  The art of cultivation has always had a destiny, two fortunes, three merits, four feng shui, and five readings. Destiny is the first, after cultivating, seeing that one's own destiny is too low, so he decides to change his destiny with the technique of feng shui, and it is the most rebellious "Dragon Cutting and Body Entering Technique". As the name suggests, find a dragon vein, then use feng shui techniques to cut off the dragon vein, and then put the dragon vein into the body, slowly absorbing the dragon vein to improve one's own destiny.

  There have been at least 24 dynasties in Chinese history. If each dynasty has a dragon vein, then China has at least 24 dragon veins. The Yellow Emperor's dragon vein is located in the Central Plains of the Yellow River Basin; Da Yu's dragon vein is located on Jiulong Mountain in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province today; Shang Tang's dragon vein is located in the Yellow River Basin; Zhou Dynasty's dragon vein is located on Mount Qi; Qin Dynasty's dragon vein is located in Xianyang; Han Dynasty's dragon vein is located in Pei County; Western Jin Dynasty's dragon vein is located in Henan; Sui Dynasty's dragon vein is located in Hongnong; Tang Dynasty's dragon vein is located in Chang'an, Longxi and Taiyuan; Song Dynasty's dragon vein is located in Kaifeng, Gongyi and Luoyang area; Yuan Dynasty's dragon vein is located on the Inner Mongolian grassland; Ming Dynasty's dragon vein is located in Fengyang, Anhui Province; Qing Dynasty's dragon vein is located in Northeast China. Of course, these are all approximate ranges, as it is actually very difficult to determine the specific location of a dragon vein. This is because the activity range of dragons is constantly changing and most dragon veins are born near mountains and water.

  According to the calculation of Chinese history and Feng Shui, most dynasties were doomed to perish when their luck had run out. However, the Qin Dynasty was an exception. Qin Shi Huang was a dragon among his ancestors, so how could the Qin Dynasty have perished just after Qin Er Shi? After investigating some unofficial histories, it can be inferred that after Qin Shi Huang unified China, in order to centralize power more effectively, he did many things that were unkind to the world, causing people to suffer and live in fear, with no one daring to speak out. He also persecuted famous scholars of various schools of thought to unify ideologies. This move stirred up a hornet's nest, and the scholars rose up in resistance. At the time of Qin Shi Huang's death, they first killed his most capable son Fusu, then promoted Qin Er Shi as emperor. During this period when the national luck was at its weakest, ninety-nine Feng Shui masters used their lives to seal the dragon vein of the Great Qin with the fate of the king and generals, causing the Great Qin to perish after just two generations.

  Shen Long came to Xianyang this time just to plot the dragon vein of Great Qin, standing on the mountain, holding a compass in his hand.

  "The various schools of thought are indeed ruthless. On the surface, it's a grand formation of tigers besieging dragons, while inside, it's a grand formation of pythons devouring dragons. Although it has been destroyed, one can still see its former glory. No wonder after Qin was overthrown, the various kings were so ferocious - they had swallowed up the vital energy of the Qin dynasty." Shen Long sighed as he arranged things, "However, if not for their swallowing, how could I alone contain so many dragon veins?"

  As Qin has been destroyed, two major arrays are useless, only the remaining dragon pulse becomes a dead hole, and it is necessary to dot the hole, point the dragon pulse alive, and then absorb.

  Shen Long arranged the flag array around him, then chanted the incantation: "The heavens and earth have no bounds, Qiankun borrows the law to make the dragon emerge from the sea, urgently like a command." Then Shen Long felt the spiritual energy around him slowly rising, he knew that this step was correct.

  With an excited heart, Shen Long recited another incantation, "The universe has no bounds, the heavens and earth lend me their power, Heavenly Eye, open!" Then a faint light appeared at his brow, and he saw a majestic purple-golden dragon roaming freely in the sky. It was noble, elegant, mysterious... However, due to his excessive excitement, he failed to notice a thin layer of crimson on the dragon's body.

  "Hahaha...... I'm finally going to succeed, I'm finally going to succeed, hahaha......" He was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions.

  But perhaps it was a case of extreme joy begetting sorrow, for just as the divine dragon emerged from its lair, the weather suddenly changed. Just a moment before, the sky had been clear and bright, with a gentle breeze blowing, but in an instant, dark clouds gathered and thunder boomed.

  Looking at the dark clouds, Shen Long cursed and said, "Damn it, this weather is as unpredictable as a woman's temper. I'm going to get moving right away." Shen Long knew that this was heavenly punishment, but in order to reduce his own pressure, he made a joke with himself, then seriously chanted an incantation:

  "Heaven and earth have no bounds, Qiankun borrows the law, the divine dragon enters the body, all under heaven return to honor, urgent as a command."

  After finishing the incantation, he saw that the purple gold divine dragon directly entered his body from under the ground. Then, he took out several sealed dragon talismans he found in the box and stuck them onto nine positions on his body before finally letting out a long sigh.

  "It's finally done." However, the phrase "good things come to those who wait" was once again proven true. The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and a bolt of lightning as thick as the Purple Gold Dragon from earlier struck down at him.

  Shen Long was suddenly stunned, he had not been practicing for a long time and did not know what was going on. The "Yi Ming" only talked about the Taoist method, not about practice, and there was no practical experience. He only knew that there was heavenly punishment, and he also made a flag array to defend against it, but at this time he knew that his preparation was far from enough.

  Just as Shen Long was about to chant the incantation to activate the formation, he discovered a surge of evil energy shooting straight up to the heavenly gate. It turned out that the faint red glow on the dragon's body was actually the evil energy from Qin's conquest of the world, which wasn't just a faint red, but a deep purple. The evil energy was backfiring, and Shen Long, who was on the verge of losing consciousness, suddenly had an epiphany.

  "No wonder no one has asked about this dragon vein for thousands of years, it turns out that this is a killing vein. I thought I was the smartest one... Ah, fate... fate..." Shen Long's consciousness was completely consumed.

  Heaven is really unfair, after Shen Long lost consciousness, the thunder and lightning continued to strike him, and the divine dragon in his body also flew out and collided with the divine thunder, for a time, the mountain was turned upside down, and the sun and moon were obscured.

  When the divine lightning and divine dragon collided, Shen Long's body was destroyed along with them. A black hole appeared on this mountain, which disappeared after a moment, leaving behind a valley.

  Except for small hills becoming valleys, everything was as calm as before.

  An hour later, people started arriving one after another, pointing and gesturing at this valley:

  "Alas, there are evil spirits in the world, and the five thunders of heaven are rumbling above." An old farmer, putting on an air of expertise, pointed to the valley and said something was amiss. The people beside him nodded in agreement, seemingly endorsing his opinion or perhaps just the farmer who looked like an expert.

  Two hours later, the reporters showed up, enthusiastically carrying first-hand materials and left, whether or not to report it is up to the editor-in-chief.

  Three hours later, the army appeared and they seriously sealed off the scene.

  That night, Country M released its own views: "According to the satellite photos returned by our national space agency, Huaxia has surpassed us in the field of cutting-edge weaponry. We hope that all citizens will support our national policy of increasing military spending."

  No matter how this thing becomes a topic of conversation for people after dinner; no matter how it becomes a new topic for journalist experts; and even more, no matter how he becomes a politician's weight.

  But the initiator of this matter, Shen Long, was forgotten by everyone.

  Is this the end of Shen Long's story?

  No! It's just getting started!

  、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

  As for Shen Long, when he entered the black hole, it was not his physical body, but a weak soul that was faintly visible, like a lamp flame that might go out at any moment. The lamp flame was surrounded by two dragons, one was the evil dragon separated from the dragon of gas, and the other was the thunder dragon formed by the heavenly thunder. This yin-yang-like pattern tightly encircled Shen Long's soul in the middle, while the gas entered Shen Long's body and was slowly absorbed and strengthened by his soul.

  In the primordial era, after Shen Long absorbed and digested all the aura, his soul transformed from a lantern into a human-sized entity, gradually condensing into a solid form - not a human body, but a purple-golden dragon as long as a person.

  Slowly, Shen Long woke up, opened his eyes, and was confused for a long time before he slightly regained consciousness. "What happened to me? Didn't I die? Where is this place?" However, no one answered him.

  Soon he found a new problem, after seeing his own body, he exclaimed, "Ah! This... this... what's going on? Who can tell me?" He almost shouted it out, but still no one could answer.

  He gradually calmed down and became aware of his current situation, and slowly he also figured out some things.

  He knew that facing reality was the only way out, and that strength was the only guarantee of his safety and escape from this fear. He calmed down, slowly began to breathe, although without any specific method, but he could slowly feel his way.

  It was unknown how many years later when he woke up again.

  "Finally can walk in the void without the protection of yin-yang dragon." This yin-yang dragon is the double dragon that just entered the black hole, evolving into a spiritual treasure in the chaos.

  "But what was that thing that just woke me up?" Shen Long hesitated for a moment, and then felt an exit in front of him. He made some preparations, put the yin-yang dragon on his head, and rushed towards the exit.
