Chapter 249: Great Tsunami, Crossing the Tribulation to Become a Dragon!
Water Blue Star, a coastal city in Baixiang Guo.
Ever since the black flood dragon Ao Li flashed past this region while riding the clouds and mist last time.
Many temples around here have had a black Sea Dragon King statue added to them.
Near some small towns and fishing villages, there are even dedicated black Sea Dragon King temples.
Moreover, the incense offerings have been consistently good, and many people from the city will specifically run over to burn incense and pray for protection.
Other places with traditions of faith in the Sea Dragon King and Sea God lamps also include Ao Li in their worship rituals.
This has actually resulted in quite a few more orders for factories in the Eastern Ancient Kingdom that produce small commodities.
The demand for small accessories and crafts related to Ao Li can be described as endless.
This day, for the fishermen of Alucun in Baixiang Guo, was another calm and peaceful good day.
After the fishermen went to the village Temple together to worship the black Sea Dragon King.
They prepared to set sail on a long voyage.
Because this time, they were going to the distant sea to fish.
Many people from other towns also came to see them off, and there were even reporters recording on the side.
The beach not far from Alucun.
This place, which was already a tourist area, had an open-air, large-scale statue of the black flood dragon Ao Li installed on a hill next to the beach by the scenic area management immediately after the black flood dragon appeared.
They also spent a large sum of money on marketing, promoting it fiercely across the whole world.
After taking the opportunity to gain significant popularity.
It became overcrowded all at once!
Not only was the scenic area management happy.
Those nearby running hotels and night markets also had smiles on their faces when they slept.
On the hill near the beach, below that black flood dragon statue.
A tour group from the Eastern Ancient Kingdom also burned incense and prayed here, and then, led by a tour guide, watched the footage projected onto a large screen set up nearby.
The screen repeatedly played videos related to the black flood dragon Ao Li that the scenic area could collect.
In order to distinguish it from what was on the internet, the scenic area found ways to produce videos with higher clarity.
They even invested in producing an introductory animation, which could be considered a significant investment.
However, the well-traveled tourists were clearly not buying it and were quite dissatisfied, feeling that they had been swindled again by coming to this attraction.
Fortunately, the nearby night market had consistently good reviews, with large portions and cheap prices.
And then, it was rumored that there were small games, and those who won could get a mysterious grand prize!
According to news from previous participants, the mysterious prize was very likely products nourished by Spirit Qi.
For most ordinary people, these were good things they had only heard of but never seen with their own eyes, so they still held a lot of temptation for most people.
Although as time gradually passed, more and more cooperative breeding sites began to operate.
The circles and channels through which one could come into contact with and buy them were naturally increasing.
It was hard to say about quality above medium, but some low-grade supplies were already something some wealthy people could queue up to buy through pre-orders.
On the beach, a pair of Daoists wearing Daoist robes looked out of place among the surrounding tourists.
However, with the appearance of the extraordinary, the speed of the popularization of Eastern culture had also risen rapidly.
Nowadays, even children in Ouluoba could recognize at a glance the identity represented by the two's Daoist robes.
"Brother Daoist Zhang, what do you think of this region?"
Beside the two Daoists, a local manager was also following them.
It was because they hoped to build a Daoist temple here!
Temples and shrines were everywhere in Baixiang Guo, so it was nothing strange.
Therefore, the scenic area side planned to not follow the rules and use an unconventional strategy!
And they found these two legitimate Daoists with credentials to come and inspect the terrain.
"There is quite a lot of human traffic, and I think it is not impossible to build a Daoist temple next to that hill."
"However..."
When Zhang Daozhang said this, he looked at the Array Disk in his hand, and thinking of the Spirit Rice he had eaten that others had sent, he frowned slightly, feeling indebted for the food:
"A Daoist temple is not something you just build on a whim, and I have already reported it."
"But you must also know that if the higher-ups do not approve, it is impossible for us to continue helping."
Just as he was saying this.
Zhang Daozhang suddenly let out an 'eh', discovering that the needle inside the Array Disk was spinning wildly.
Afterwards, accompanied by a muffled, mournful wailing sound of 'woo woo woo', it spread from far to near.
Many parasols and beverage bottles on the beach suddenly toppled to the ground.
Some tourists also fell to the ground because of the sudden shaking under their feet.
Tourists standing near the statue also let out bursts of exclamations.
It was shocking to see that the more than ten-meter-tall flood dragon statue was swaying.
"It's an undersea earthquake!"
After the initial panic, the manager on the side, following the report from the personnel behind him coming through his earpiece.
The panic on this experienced person's face became more and more exaggerated:
"The Seismological Bureau reports! Just now, a major earthquake occurred in the nearby sea area!"
"It is no less than the major earthquake that caused the super tsunami back then!"
"A tsunami warning has also been issued!"
"Run! Run quickly!"
The manager shouted out loud.
Zhang Daozhang also recalled that tsunami which had caused over two hundred thousand people to lose their lives, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
He grabbed that manager and said loudly:
"Get up the mountain quickly!"
"Running back, no matter how fast, you won't be faster than a tsunami!"
After saying this, feeling he had done all he could, Zhang Daozhang and his junior brother rushed quickly toward the mountain peak that had the black dragon statue.
During this, seeing a tour group from his hometown about to come down, the anxious Zhang Daozhang hurriedly used his Lion Technique to tell them to get up the mountain immediately!
These two Daoists were not Sword Envoys, but they were among the true cultivation seeds of the Daoist sect, belonging to the reserves.
Previously, they had also taken turns working as farmers for a period of time in a Spirit Field that cooperated with the Daoist sect.
It could be considered that they had received some nourishment from Spirit Qi, and some of their martial arts that no longer had room for progress gained profound changes as a result.
This time coming down the mountain was also because their time was up, and they had to withdraw to make room for other junior brothers who were waiting eagerly.
Yet, they did not expect that for the sake of some extra money, they would encounter such a shocking scene!
On the horizon where the sky and sea met, a giant white line of waves appeared.
Broadcasts were also issued on the beach, and the wailing sound of sirens followed.
A portion of the tourists with high danger awareness began to leave the beach the moment the ground shook.
Most tourists, however, only realized what was happening when the sirens sounded and mobile phone alert messages rang one after another, and they began to flee with faces turned pale.
Even so, one could still see many people who actually still wanted to pack up and take their belongings with them.
This made those on the mountain seeing this scene feel anxious for them.
"It's too late!"
Zhang Daozhang stood on the mountainside panting, watching the tsunami that was getting closer and closer, full of oppressive force.
Just by making a slight comparison, one knew that most of the people on the beach... would not be able to escape to a safe zone in time.
At the same time, the thousands of people in the coastal Alucun, after seeing the tsunami appear, also had most of them panic and try to find a safe place.
A small portion who were experienced and knew there was nowhere to escape simply knelt on their boats or on the ground and prayed to the Sea Dragon God Ao Li.
A helicopter hovered high in the sky, and the television station personnel inside the helicopter were glad that they had taken an aerial vehicle this time.
At the same time, they were palpitating with fear for the tsunami that was about to ravage the coast.
The female host from the television station gripped the dragon wood carving that was said to have been blessed by a High Monk.
She whispered to herself:
"Dragon God, please protect us; we are willing to worship you forever in the future!"
"..."
The assistant beside her heard the female host's whisper and was thinking how those high and mighty extraordinary divine beasts could possibly hear the requests of mortals like them.
Suddenly!
Roar!
A sound that resonated above the nine heavens, allowing everyone who heard this dragon cry to recall that black dragon shadow in their minds, echoed across this sea area.
It startled everyone in the fishing village and on the beach, whether on the ground or in the sky.
And then, they felt an inexplicable sense of peace.
Although in the distance was a great tsunami brought about by a massive earthquake.
But since the Dragon God had appeared!
Then they... should be able to turn bad luck into good fortune this time, right?
Above the firmament.
After one dragon cry, the black dragon Ao Li wound its body and flew down from the sky.
The black dragon Ao Li had been brought back to Water Blue Star by Su Ping in order to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Then, Ao Li discovered that Water Blue Star not only had a World Will, but it was also extremely powerful.
Just as Ao Li intended to break through, Su Ping, who understood the entire principles related to the Secret Technique, stopped it.
Ao Li was not a native intelligent lifeform of Water Blue Star, so such a breakthrough would not receive much support from the Great Dao of this world.
And regarding this aspect of the problem, for the dragon race that traversed various Small Worlds and Medium Worlds, there had long been a solution.
The World Will favors intelligent lifeforms.
Because intelligent lifeforms represent the possibility of transcendence.
Although that is minuscule, it is the most important goal of every World Will.
Furthermore, the World Will that nurtures more and more powerful intelligent lifeforms is also more likely to raise its own world level.
From a Small World to a Medium World, and then to a Great World... theoretically, all are possible.
Therefore, for the dragon race in a strange world, the simplest thing to do to gain favor is to gain the favor of the local intelligent lifeforms.
When the World Consciousness is asleep, the Qiankunyishi formed by intelligent lifeforms is, to a certain extent, the consciousness of the World Will!
Su Ping disdained to actively create any natural or man-made disasters.
With the environment deteriorating, Water Blue Star is currently in a period of extreme environment.
To tell the truth... there is no need to deliberately create them at all to encounter natural disasters of all sizes.
This time, it just happened to be a great tsunami caused by an undersea earthquake.
By the way, when this great earthquake occurred.
In the center of the undersea earthquake, the Baiyuan Yaohuang was sitting steadily in the depths of the seabed, which was chaotic to the extreme at that moment, like a golden, shining statue.
Utilizing this great power of nature, it was comprehending the various mysteries of the Jingangbuhuaishenggong.
It can be considered making the best use of everything to the extreme.
Aow!
The black flood dragon Ao Li appeared above the beach, and the Wind Technique caused by its extreme speed even made the helicopter sway for a while.
However, this bit of turbulence did not cause panic among the crew members; instead, they were full of excitement.
The female Abbot even began to recite the Prayer continuously.
Having obtained a large amount of False Dragon Blood, the black flood dragon Ao Li's water control ability was also enhanced.
Facing this massive tsunami that affected several countries.
After taking a deep breath, the black flood dragon Ao Li suddenly spat out a stream of black flames.
Once these flames merged into the giant waves formed by the tsunami...
They actually spread out at the speed of light.
Afterwards, these giant waves actually moved slower and slower.
By the time they were close to within several hundred meters of the coastline.
The giant waves actually suddenly retreated, scattering the waves that had formed subsequently as well.
The tourists on the beach who had survived the disaster, as well as the people on the hilltops, watched the whole process with trembling bodies.
As the giant waves turned back, many people knelt on the ground, kissing the earth while praising the black flood dragon Ao Li.
In the fishing village, the fishermen on the fishing boats that were rocking and colliding with each other were the first to react, looking at the figure of the black flood dragon in the distance.
More and more people began to shout for the protection of the Dragon God Ao Li.
Deep under the sea, Xuangui Baxia also received instructions from Su Ping and used its innate supernatural power to help slow down the power of the tsunami in other regions.
This caused this massive tsunami, which experts had predicted could cause over one hundred thousand casualties.
To be reduced to only sporadic casualties in the triple digits.
Moreover, these casualties were mainly caused by the coastal people courting death for various reasons.
The credit for this feat by Xuangui Baxia was naturally attributed to the black flood dragon Ao Li.
After all, only the black flood dragon Ao Li appeared in such a high-profile manner, manifesting its divinity before the people!
After the black flood dragon Ao Li stopped this tsunami.
It did not disappear immediately, but instead emitted Golden Light from its entire body.
It then transformed into a traceable golden stream of light, flying directly from the sea, river channels, and mountains to Dongting Lake, where there had been legends of the Dragon Lord since ancient times.
After it raised its head and let out nine dragon roars there.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it actually met bolts of lightning that resembled a heavenly tribulation above this lake!
Videos and news of a black dragon undergoing a heavenly tribulation on the eight-hundred-mile Dongting Lake spread across the globe in the blink of an eye.
Then, as the news of the black flood dragon Ao Li stopping the tsunami to save people went viral.
And the movement trajectory of the black flood dragon Ao Li after it turned into a stream of light was made public.
For a time, most people were able to know that the black dragon undergoing the tribulation at Dongting Lake.
Was the very same Dragon God who saved so many people!
However, they did not know.
The heavenly tribulation on Dongting Lake actually came from Su Ping's purple-light fox.
The dark clouds were one of the supernatural powers of the black flood dragon Ao Li.
As this play of undergoing the tribulation to become a dragon began to unfold.
The black flood dragon Ao Li also began to break through.
Su Ping remained invisible on the side, observing and paying attention to Ao Li's changes at all times.
At the moment Ao Li broke through,
Relying on their mental connection, Su Ping also felt the entire Water Blue Star for the first time.
No, not just the entire Water Blue Star, the entire Solar System flickered imperceptibly.
Su Ping even had an epiphany in his heart.
If one were to break through to a higher realm in this world of Water Blue Star.
One could even receive the congratulations of the entire Galaxy, and even the joy of the entire universe.
"Hmm... in other words, theoretically, it is possible for me to make the entire universe flicker for myself?"
"Thinking about it makes me a little excited!"
"If nothing else, according to the vastness of the universe already explored, it at least shows that the upper limit of the realm of my home world might be much higher than that of the Great Thousand Worlds!"
"Perhaps, preparations for external exploration from my home world can also be made slowly!"
