“Is he really so awesome?!”
Hearing Elder Meng’s introduction, nearly half of the players looked shocked.
“Elder Meng, are you saying that the Push Back Chart isn’t real?”
Someone noticed what Elder Meng didn’t explicitly point out.
“Many researchers in the area have questions about the authenticity of the Push Back Chart.
“I also believe that this ‘most peculiar book’ was probably some ‘afterward prophecies’ compiled by some fortune-tellers to promote fatalism.
“Maybe the first few charts were really made by Li Chunfeng or Yuan Tian’gang, but no one can say for sure they were prophecies for future events.
“A lot of the later charts had definitely drawn a farfetched analogy by saying that they were their works. Because the 60 charts included events like ‘switching the crown prince with a cat’ and ‘Li Xilie’s rebellion’, where they were only famous but didn’t have a substantial effect in history…
“After all, the common people of the ancient time weren’t interested in events such as the crisis of Tumu, the incident of the White Horse Post, or the Chanyuan Treaty. Rather, they were more interested in the death of Yang Yuhuan, the switching of the crown prince with a cat, and the general who enthroned himself, which had more literary flair.”
Elder Meng nodded.
“Yes, that’s probably why Li Chunfeng, being the author or the most peculiar book in history, has answered the summoning as a Transcendent hero, which is below his real level.”
Guo Wei nodded in agreement.
If the Push Back Chart were real, it would doubtlessly be worthy of its title. Based on the rule of the Land of Inheritance, it would definitely be a Legendary or even Mythological object.
Being its authors, Yuan Tian’gang and Li Chunfeng would have to be Legendary heroes at least.
Since Li Chunfeng could accept the summons as a Perfect Transcendent hero like Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun did, to some extent, it proved the authenticity of the Push Back Chart.
“Based on what they say in the forum, the civilization that created the Land of Inheritance has started observing the civilization on earth several thousand years ago. Because of that, apart from people’s common understanding, the actual existence in history would also have a great effect on the level and rarity of a hero,” Elder Zhou added.
That was one of the popular topics in the forum recently.
Because if it was true, many of the historical researchers would be thrilled.
Because a lot of the unanswered questions would have answers now.
For instance, they could find out the whereabouts of the Orchid Pavilion Preface, if the people of Jaipan really were the descendent of Xu Fu, if Li Yi’an was beautiful or ugly… Some of the more resourceful players had even posted answers such as the bust size of Yang Yuhuan, if Lao Ai really was so “well-endowed”, and the hidden relationship between Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon.
Although these historical figures hadn’t been summoned yet, many Extraordinary heroes that had shown up were their associates.
“So, the book in his hand is the legendary Push Back Chart.”
Qin Yueyu looked at Li Chunfeng. With his chanting, the powers of the wind, sun, and stars were activated, suppressing the Yuan North King.
“No, it should be Yisi Divination!
“It’s an astrology monograph written by Li Chunfeng by compiling astrology knowledge of him and his predecessors. In it, he recorded celestial phenomena such as the solar eclipses, moon halos, and storms, as well as the corresponding events after the appearance of these phenomena.
“Although the authenticity of the Push Back Chart has yet to be decided, Li Chunfeng is indeed a master in divination. He’s one of the top ones in ancient Chidragon.
“Therefore, his masterpiece must be of Transcendent level and above,” said Elder Meng.
“Who’s the more capable one, Li Chunfeng or Yuan Tian’gang?” An Quan asked curiously.
“According to historical records, they focused on different areas. Yuan Tian’gang was better at reading people while Li Chunfeng was better at reading nature.
“But both should be good at Feng Shui and should be good enough to meet our request,” Ji Ye said.
Legends had it that when the Emperor Taizong of Tang was alive, he had asked Yuan Tian’gang and Li Chunfeng to each find a good place to build his tomb.
When Yuan Tian’gang found a good place, he buried a copper coin to mark it. Li Chunfeng also found an excellent spot and stuck a needle to mark it.
When the emperor sent someone to examine the places, they found that Li Chunfeng’s needle had pierced right through the hole in the middle of Yuan’s coin!
“Wait, but who told you all that?” Qin Yueyu was bewildered and asked Mister Bug, who was telling stories about Li Chunfeng.
As a “man of the streets”, it was understandable that he knew things about Guan Yu.
But even people familiar with historical events might not know Li Chunfeng well.
How could Mister Bug know so many details?
“Well, there was this film sometime before the Land of Inheritance opened. It was about some tomb raiders robbing Li Chunfeng’s tomb. That’s why I know him!”
Mister Bug looked pleased.
“Shhh, keep your voice down.
“The battle is about to end. Don’t talk about such things in front of him!”
Li Qing had been watching the battle quietly and reminded the two people in a low voice.
By then, Li Chunfeng had gained an absolute advantage on the battlefield.
The wind kept him in mid-air, and the power of the stars kept smashing down at the Water Demons below.
The North King was probably powerful enough to melt the meteors with her Bone Corroding Soft Palm.
But common Water Demons couldn’t withstand the attack of the celestial phenomenon. By then, they had all died and turned into white dots of the power of the Water Stopping Stone.
[“When the great tide arrives together with the black wind, it lasts for several days. Ten of thousands of people will suffer, and the rampaging water can kill!”]
The Yuan North King was observably weakened. The clouds gradually dissipated, revealing Li Chunfeng, whose face was still blurred.
He chatted the last sentence.
Boom!
The book glowed again, and suddenly, the water that had been mostly vaporized began to gather together by the power of the wind. Great tidal waves then rose, crushing down at the North King.
Although the North King had activated the Water Stopping Stone with all her strength, she had spent too much of its power in transforming the Water Demons, and the white light kept growing weaker.
In the end, it shattered with a crack.
Pew!
Immediately, the North King was crushed into a pulp by the powerful waves.
“Is that a summoning test?”
“It looks different from what they say in the forum.”
“That’s right. It feels like the other way around. This hero looks more like the boss of the trial, and that woman is the one getting tested!”
Those were the new players who were specially invited to this event.
Right now, they even began to doubt how accurate the information in the forum was.
But Ji Ye wasn’t surprised.
Although the academic researchers found it highly possible that the Push Back Chart was counterfeit, many people still believed that it was authentic.
There were also quite a lot of people who had a certain amount of skepticism.
Because of that, based on the rules of the Land of Inheritance, the Push Back Chart would still have a lot of power.
Affected by historical facts, Li Chunfeng might not be as magnificent as he was in legend and was less famous than people like Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, and Li Yuanba.
But he was by far a nobody and was definitely one of the top Transcendent heroes.
He should even have a certain number of Legendary properties.
Because of that, even with the constraint made by the Water Stopping Stone, he was still able to pass the trial without any difficulty.
“Actually, the Water Stopping Stone may be useful to Li Chunfeng as well.
“Because when Feng Shui masters fight against one another, their own Feng Shui settings are the most important aspect. With this special object that can stop water, he’ll be able to take advantage during battles against other Feng Shui heroes!” said Ji Ye.
With the death of the North King, the Battlefield of Providence began to fade as he spoke.
All the energy gathered toward Li Chunfeng, who now stood on the altar. The Water Stopping Stone was turned into a Dragon Stopping Needle, which had dragon patterns on it and was of a brighter color.
That was one of the newly added functions after the settlement became Transcendent.
Apart from transforming offerings to some extent like before to change them into more suitable forms, it could also use the remaining power of providence to raise the quality and level of offerings.
After the Water Stopping Stone’s power was completely transformed, the mist over Li Chunfeng’s face was lifted, revealing a man in his early 30s. He had a short beard and eyes as bright as stars.
[Li Chunfeng]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-9]
[Rarity: Quasi Boss]
[Description: An imperial astronomer of the Tang Dynasty. He was an astronomer, mathematician, and Book of Changes scholar and was proficient in astrology, calendar, and Yin Yang geomancy. His work included the Linde calendar and Yisi Divination. He was said to have created the Push Back Chart with Yuan Tian’gang.]
It was as Mister Bug said. The man was as awesome as he was said to be!
Not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in the field of astronomy, mathematics, and Feng Shui of all times; he was a prominent figure.
It was apparent from the fact that he was of the same level as Zhou Yu, who was a Semi-commander.
It meant that in his own field, Li Chunfeng was a top hero, second only to those who were considered founders and grandmasters.
“With Commander Li here, Dragon City will be impregnable. Commander Li, we’re counting on you on the Dragon Terrain.”
Because of that, Ji Ye valued Li Chunfeng as much as heroes like Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun.
“Master Ji, you flatter me. Together with my colleagues, I’ll make sure that the True Dragon Terrain of our Dragon City will stay impregnable forever!”
Li Chunfeng, who dressed like a Daoist priest and a civil servant combined, was very humble.
Ji Ye had thought about this before.
Since they were able to change the terrain of the settlement, they could use this opportunity to peel off the entire stone layer of the Twin Dragon Mount, digging out the “dragon heart” that was sealed by the thousand-year mystic ice.
Maybe they could find objects such as dragon bones, scales, or teeth, just as with the Mirage Dragon of the Mirage Monsters.
However, Ji Ye had given up on that idea now.
Because this True Dragon Terrain was very important to the entire defense system of Dragon City, especially now that the rest of the alien races and continents would gather around the city.
Moreover, he couldn’t fuse Transcendent objects yet, so the “dragon heart” inside would have to wait.
“By the way, we don’t need to complete the change of terrain today!
“We can wrap it up tomorrow.”
Ji Ye told Lin Dong.
Because tomorrow, over 5,000 fourth-batch players would enter the Land of Inheritance.
Dragon City should show the newcomers its magnificence.
