Dragon Martial Sword Supreme
Chapter 39 - 39 The Sound of Dragon's Chant
Zhao Letian's heritage memories are composed of the quintessence left behind by countless predecessors of the Dragon Clan. All the Cultivation Techniques, Martial Techniques, secret techniques, and Divine Skills included in the heritage memories are extraordinary.
"Dragon Roar Nine Sword," originally was a martial technique created by a Human Clan master, who, as a youth, overheard a distant dragon's chant and then attained enlightenment on the spot for forty-nine days. Later on, a powerful member of the Dragon Clan acquired it, found it quite interesting, and specially included it within the heritage memories.
After locating this martial technique, Long Shisan immediately took up his sword and went to the bamboo forest on the eastern side of the island to begin his cultivation.
"Roar!"
Several hours later, on the tranquil island, as the Star Sea Five Tigers were cutting bamboo in the western bamboo forest to build new dwellings, they suddenly heard an unfamiliar roaring sound from the east, as if from a primordial giant beast—arrogant, grandiose, ancient, and profound—that shocked them all into changing color in alarm.
"What is that sound? It's so uncomfortable to listen to, as if the blood and energy in my body have become stagnant, and my Primordial Energy is also not circulating smoothly."
"Me too, I feel like my strength has been suppressed by that sound, it's terrifying. What kind of sound could possess such power?"
"I don't know, it could be some high-bloodline demon beast, but there are no demon beasts on our island, could it be something he created?"
The Star Sea Five Tigers discussed among themselves and, after exchanging glances, simultaneously thought of the recently arrived Zhao Letian. Since the sound came from the eastern side of the island, it was likely related to Zhao Letian. However, they could not confirm the truth, as no one dared to defy the rules set by Zhao Letian and take the risk of venturing to the eastern side of the island.
Fortunately, after that roar, there was no subsequent sound, so the Star Sea Five Tigers didn't pay too much attention and continued constructing their homes. If they couldn't finish building their houses before nightfall, they would have to sleep out in the open tonight.
...
"Roar!"
Early the next morning, the Star Sea Five Tigers, who had worked overnight to finish their houses, were fast asleep in their respective rooms when they were suddenly awakened by a familiar roar.
"What's going on? It's not even dawn yet, why is it happening again?"
The Star Sea Five Tigers all wore gloomy faces, vexed and frustrated, awakened by the roar, which affected the circulation of blood and Primordial Energy in their bodies, suppressing their strength, making them extremely uncomfortable. This version is sourced from MV3L3MPYR.
Luckily, after the sound echoed once again, it did not occur for a long time, and the Star Sea Five Tigers went back to sleep once more.
"Roar!"
Just as they had fallen asleep for a short while, the roaring sound rang out once again, awakening them another time.
"Damn it! What is Zhao Letian up to?"
The Star Sea Five Tigers furrowed their brows, feeling extremely irritable, but they didn't dare to confront Zhao Letian and ask what was going on.
"Forget it, everyone get up and cultivate." The leader, who had reached the minor achievement in the ninth level of Primordial Martial, helplessly shouted, summoning the other four to come out and cultivate together.
"Roar!"
No sooner had the five of them begun to meditate and cultivate than the roar resonated once again, directly forcing them out of their cultivation state.
The Star Sea Five Tigers looked at each other, all feeling a desire to cry but without tears.
"Big brother, why don't you go ask Zhao Letian what's going on? If this continues, how can we possibly cultivate?" someone suggested.
"Don't look at me; I've no interest in provoking him," the leader of the Star Sea Five Tigers glanced at the person disapprovingly.
"But big brother, this isn't going to work," the person said, frowning.
"There's nothing to be done. We can only blame our lack of strength and inferior skills. Otherwise, the island wouldn't have been seized. Zhao Letian hasn't driven us away, which is already incredibly benevolent. If we were to make any more demands, it would be excessive and would surely anger him," the leader said helplessly.
"Big brother, then what should we do next?" someone asked.
"What to do? Continue cultivating. Every situation has its pros and cons. Although that roaring sound affects us, if we concentrate hard enough, we can still continue our cultivation. In fact, that roar might even become an aid in our cultivation, increasing the speed at which we cultivate," the big brother declared solemnly.
"So what you're saying is, because of this misfortune, we've actually stumbled upon a rare opportunity?" someone asked, eyes sparkling with excitement.
"That's right, it is indeed an opportunity. Make the most of it and cultivate diligently," the leader nodded and then the five brothers began to cultivate with even more earnestness than before.
"Roar!"
They hadn't been cultivating for long when the roar sounded again. All five scowled, nearly knocked out of their cultivation state, but this time they were prepared. Clenching their teeth, they forced themselves to endure the discomfort and continued cultivating.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!…"
The roar would resound from time to time, with increasing frequency. Initially, whenever the Star Sea Five Tigers heard it, they would feel discomfort, greatly impeding their cultivation.
However, as they forced themselves to gradually adapt, they were pleasantly surprised to find that although their strength was still suppressed, their cultivation speed did indeed increase. The roar was like tempering for them; the more they heard it, the faster they cultivated. Therefore, later on, they even began to look forward to the roar sounding again and wished it would never stop.
Time slipped away quietly, and by nightfall, the roar finally ceased. The Star Sea Five Tigers reluctantly opened their eyes, their day of cultivation complete. Having grown accustomed to the roar, they found their cultivation speed significantly slower without it and felt quite unaccustomed—were it possible, they would sincerely plead with Zhao Letian to continue listening.
"All right, such opportunities come but cannot be sought. To have enjoyed it for an entire day is already incredibly fortunate; let's not ask for too much. Rest well, perhaps we can hear it again tomorrow," the leader of the Star Sea Five Tigers said with a smile, looking around at everyone, very satisfied with the day's cultivation gains.
"Right," everyone nodded and went off to rest.
...
The next day, just as dawn brought a pale light to the sky, the Star Sea Five Tigers gathered early, eagerly watching the dense bamboo forest on the eastern side of the island, fervently hoping that the roar would resonate once more.
"Roar!"
At last, after a long and anxious wait, the roar came as expected, immediately bringing delighted smiles to the faces of the Star Sea Five Tigers. They promptly sat down in the lotus position and began their meditative cultivation.
After the struggle to adapt the day before, the Star Sea Five Tigers today found their cultivation effortlessly efficient, several times more effective than usual. Each was solemn and focused, intent on seizing this precious opportunity that had not been easy to come by.
"Roar! Roar!"
After a comfortable period of cultivation, the roar abruptly sounded twice in quick succession. The oppressive power surged dramatically, forcibly breaking the Star Sea Five Tigers out of their cultivation state, despite their having adapted to it.
However, this time, instead of any irritation or frustration, they all showed ecstatic expressions. The fact that the power of the roar had intensified meant that they would receive better tempering, and thus, their cultivation speed could increase even more.
