C798 Draconic Transformation(part I)
In a sacred place like Mecca, the heaven and earth origin energy was incomparably calm and peaceful. One would feel as if they were being nourished by all living things within it, especially in a holy land like the forbidden area where the heaven and earth origin energy was considered the most important.
However, the atmosphere inside this forbidden area was completely different from before. Not only was there a mixture of heaven and earth origin energy, but there was also the faint appearance of a yin fiend. The most strange thing was that there was a strange aura here that was hard to describe, as if there was a force that was constantly changing everything around it, creating endless changes!
"This kind of phenomenon only exists in the place where the dragon transforms …" After a moment of silence, Lin Bai calmed the throbbing in his heart. With a bitter smile on his face, he looked at Abdullah and said in a deep voice, "What happened here?"
Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, the faces of Chen Baian, Zhang Sanming, and the rest all turned ashen! The place where the Dragon Transformation took place was the place where the dragon veins changed. Under the influence of specific factors, this area started to evolve from a normal area towards the dragon veins. However, this kind of strange elephant only existed in the ancient books and records, no one had ever seen it with their own eyes, how could such a strange elephant appear in Mecca?
"Little Friend Lin, take a closer look and see if there are any clues here!" A wry smile appeared on Abdullah's face, but he did not answer Lin Bai's question. Instead, he threw out another question.
What other clues? Lin Bai furrowed his brows as he formed a seal. After which, he opened his Heaven's Eyes and began to scan his surroundings.
Aside from the fusion of earth, vein, dragon aura and Yin energy, there didn't seem to be anything strange in this place. Just as he was about to ask a question, his gaze inadvertently landed on a huge rock. Just one glance caused Lin Bai's expression to greatly change as he hoarsely said, "This place … "This is the sixth core of the Eight Lock Dragon Bureau's formation. This is precisely the source of the suppressed qi flow that is evolving into a dragon meridian …"
If Lin Bai's earlier statement that the Dragon Transformation world was a firecracker exploded, then when he spoke these words now, it was as though countless bolts of lightning descended from the nine heavens, slamming into the heads of the crowd, causing them to turn into ashes.
The luck of China was turning this place into a dragon vein under the suppression of the Eight Inner Hidden Dragon Institute. What a strange thing this was. Although the first five Formation Apertures all appeared strange, none of them were as strange as this time. After the qi flow evolved into the dragon fountain, it would then transform into the earth vein dragon qi, which would completely merge with the dragon qi here. Even if the people here had immense power, how could they transport something that had formed a steel plate back to Hua Xia?
"This matter is of no harm to the Holy City of Mecca. I do not understand why you want to inform me of this matter!" After pondering for a moment, Lin Bai turned his head to stare at Abdullah's imam in confusion. One must know that if this place was transformed into the center of the Dragon Bloodline, it would definitely be able to make Mecca even more powerful, and would even be beneficial to the spread of Islam throughout the world.
This sort of situation where one did not need to expend any effort and only needed time to wait, was practically like a pie falling from the sky. How could there be anyone who wanted to reject it? This truly confused Lin Bai.
"Mister Lin, you should know the situation in Mecca better than I do. Although this is a huge cake, if you want to swallow it down, you still need to think carefully about whether you have a stomach!" Abdullah smiled, and after patting the huge rock beside him, he said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, my Islam is not good at your methods. This thing is harmful to us but not to us!"
It was as Abdullah had said, under the influence of the Hidden Dragon Institute's incident, the fish and dragons mixed together in Mecca city, suppressing the qi flow of China and evolving the dragon vein, there would definitely be some strange occurrences that could not be concealed. Islam did not have such methods to control the veins of the land. If they were controlled by other means, then their foundation that had lasted for thousands of years would be destroyed, not to mention their current prosperity!
To be able to take such huge benefits as though they were nothing, this Abdullah was not an ordinary person! After he thought through the details, Lin Bai looked at Abdullah with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He asked himself, if he was the one facing this situation, he would probably not be able to be as relaxed as Abdullah, and inform the main culprit of this matter.
And now, he also understood that it was also because of Abdullah's orders that Wang Jingzhai had insisted on letting him enter Mecca alone. The matter of turning into a dragon was far too important. With every extra person who knew of it, it was possible for it to be leaked out for a day, and this would put the faith of Islam in Mecca at greater risk.
"Senior's magnanimity is truly admirable!" After a moment of silence, Lin Bai clasped his hands together and said to Abdullah with a serious expression, "The suppression of luck here is very important to China. Senior's righteousness in China will definitely be etched into your heart and will not be forgotten!"
"Little Friend Lin, there is no need to be like this. My actions are just returning the original item. It's just that I can't finish it. It's truly shameful!" Abdullah waved his hand, sighed lightly, and said in a deep voice, "I wonder if little friend Lin can find the whereabouts of your noble young master? Yu Ke of the Multi God Sect wielding a hidden dragon is also a great threat to our Islam. If they were to find out about the change in the dragon, the consequences would be dire!"
"Abdullah, imam, I wonder what kind of conflict exists between your Islam and the polytheistic sects that led to this situation?" Chen Baian was puzzled as he heard this. He couldn't understand what kind of enmity existed to cause the people of the Myriad Gods Sect to go crazy for using a Hidden Dragon to fight against Islam.
"This is a long story!" Abdullah sighed, the smile on his face became more bitter, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid the dispute between Islam and the Multi God Church has existed since the founding of our sect …"
Along with Abdullah's somewhat hoarse voice, scenes from the past gradually unraveled and appeared in the ears of Lin Bai and the rest.
Before the revival of Islam, the Arabs of the peninsula believed mainly in primitive religions, in the immortality of spirits and souls, and in the multidivine faith in nature, flora and fauna, ancestors, elves and idolatry. Among them, the three goddesses, the Sun God, the Universal God and the Destiny God, were worshipped. In the center of Mecca, the Temple of Kelbai was worshiping over 360 idols from various tribes.
The commercial aristocracy, in collusion with the clergy of the central Church of Cerberus, who were in charge of polytheism, made huge profits from the market trade each year, monopolizing Mecca's commercial trade. Moreover, it was a windfall through the management of caravans, the slave trade, the usury and other means. The most terrifying thing was that every time there was a Priestess, countless innocent lives had to be sacrificed for her.
The founder of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad of Allah in the world, after witnessing the situation, began to spread Islam among the crowd, warning the world to give up the faith of many gods and to resist the suffering of many priests. It was for this reason that the polytheistic clergy began a bloody crackdown on Islam.
At the call of the slogan 'All Muslims are brothers', Muhammad led a hundred thousand troops to the city of Mecca. After a series of battles, the Mecca nobility and the polytheistic clergy were forced to surrender, to declare their acceptance of Islam, and to acknowledge the prophetic status of Muhammad. The citizens of the city of Mecca declared their faith in Islam.
Upon entering Mecca, Muhammad ordered the destruction of all the gods in the hall, the preservation of the black meteorites, the conversion of the hall into a mosque, and the proscription of the city. From then on, Colbas of Mecca became the center of the orientation and pilgrimage of Muslim worshippers.
But in spite of the fall of Mecca, there was still a small portion of the followers of the polytheistic religion who fled. These people had been together for generations and still fought against Islam, trying to restore Mecca to the center of the polytheistic faith, to make the image of the polytheistic deity appear in Kelben, to restore the old punishments and restrictions imposed on the populace, and to punish all the believers of Islam.
