Chapter 242: Grand Void Dragon Transformation

The True Dragon Dao Institute has an ancient origin, as if it has existed since time immemorial, and within it have been born many River Earl water deities, or deities of other races.

This special Dao Institute is also said to have been founded in ancient times by a primordial deity, and even now it is part of the State Gods Dao, being one of the sources of the Water Realm deities.

Bai Liying, as the Well Spring Dragon Lord, and through her own diligence, having passed the special initiation rite of the True Dragon Dao Institute, was drawn along the waterway to enter this place for austere cultivation.

The Dao Institute is located in North Chu territory, in an ancient place called Dragon Gate Pass.

In ancient times, there once existed a Dragon Gate at this place.

Every time the Dragon Gate appears, numerous water spirits in heaven and earth emerge, contending for the opportunity to transform into a dragon.

Now the Dragon Gate has been lost, long become a myth and legend, but within the True Dragon Dao Institute there truly exists the Great Law of Dragon Transformation.

Around, torrents surge, yet on the water's surface there are continuous small huts, one after another, some thatched cottages, some bamboo hermitages, or glazed green tiles, yet they radiate brilliance, unafraid of the erosion of the water clouds above and the pounding of the great waves.

Each small hut seems to glow with spiritual light.

Some small huts are incomplete; when the great waves come, the water light pours back, but the deities within each flow with divine light, unmindful, letting themselves be washed.

This is merely slightly embarrassing.

At this moment, in a bamboo hermitage, the room is arranged extremely simply, with only a few paintings, a simple silk curtain, and a wooden bed frame.

In fact, everything here is not simple; they come from the deep water springs within Dragon Gate Pass, obtainable only after passing special trials.

Being able to construct a bamboo hermitage itself indicates the extraordinary quality of the dwelling's owner.

At this moment, at the door, another graceful and beautiful goddess knocks on the door, extending an invitation to the owner of the hermitage.

"Brother invites us to go to the Jade Dragon Palace for a feast, White family younger sister, if not, we could also go play for a while, for the Jade Lake within is full of spiritual opportunity, and still retains many traces of the True Dragon; who knows, if we enter, luck may bring us an encounter!"

At the door, Bai Liying slightly furrows her willow brows.

The Jade Dragon Lord is an inner disciple of the True Dragon Dao Institute, his cultivation already having reached the perfected Golden Core realm, and among the many disciples of the Dao Institute, he counts as one of considerable strength.

Yet this Dragon Lord is also known within the True Dragon Dao Institute as a playboy; Bai Liying does not wish to get involved in such trouble, and moreover, practicing the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Method given by Zhang Jian, she faintly feels that this friend's intentions are not pure.

At this moment, she wears a plain-colored cloud robe, her figure well-proportioned; having given birth, her whole body seems to have gained a gentle qi, but her phoenix eyes are ever brighter.

She softly and politely refuses.

"Elder Sister Mingzhi, this lively younger sister will not join in the fun; Elder Qiao mentioned that next month the Grand Void Dragon Gate will soon open again, this is our opportunity, not to be missed!"

Bai Liying turns and departs directly.

After entering the True Dragon Dao Institute, relying on her own foundation and opportunity, she also obtained the true transmission of the Well Spring Dragon Lord, called the Grand Void Dragon Transformation Chapter.

This true transmission, among the many methods of the True Dragon Dao Institute, is not considered a core true transmission, but for early cultivation it is sufficient, and later she may turn to cultivate other higher inheritances.

Bai Liying also cherishes her own opportunity greatly.

The beautiful goddess in water-colored palace attire, seeing this, hastily says.

"White family younger sister, you must not refuse so quickly; the Jade Dragon Lord said that we sisters of the Bing class must bring you along, otherwise he will not welcome us!"

"You won't just watch the sisters longingly, everyone, let's have a good time together!"

She looks pleadingly, her expression feigned sorrow.

Bai Liying, hearing this, furrows her brows; what scheme the Jade Dragon Lord is plotting, she has long known, and this so-called 'friend' before her likely also knows full well.

She speaks calmly.

"Since I cannot go, then I will not go!"

"Elder Sister Mingzhi, younger sister must continue cultivation, please excuse me!"

She then directly closes the door, shutting the water cloud lake goddess Mingzhi outside.

Seeing the hermitage door shut, the water cloud goddess outside immediately shows a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"If you won't drink the toast, you'll drink the penalty!"

The water cloud goddess is somewhat displeased; she is a spirit who became a deity from a lake in the barbarian wilds of North Chu, having gained opportunity to enter the True Dragon Dao Institute.

Only after entering the True Dragon Dao Institute did she realize her foundation was weak, and thus she strives to climb upward, making friends with deities born in the various water dragon palaces.

Regarding whether she can form a connection with the Jade Dragon Lord, she places considerable importance on it.

But the other party clearly values Bai Liying, this dragon girl, more.

After entering the Dao Institute, Bai Liying is indeed quite conspicuous; with a body tested for fate and foundation establishment, she has passed several checkpoints through the deep water springs, and even built a hermitage, indeed very eye-catching.

At this moment, seeing this, the water cloud goddess feels somewhat helpless, merely thinking in her heart that Bai Liying is a fool.

Going to the Jade Lake Dragon Palace, although it will entail some cost, the benefits are also real and substantial.

All are of non-human origin; who would mind these things?

In this goddess's view, Bai Liying has stayed too long among humans, learning all sorts of messy and complicated mental states.

Since the True Dragon Dao Institute was established, because non-humans are the majority, from ancient times there have been two factions: one follows the heart, regards the heart as natural nature, without restraint, cultivates in accordance with one's bloodline, thereby achieving various immortal bodies.

Another faction of deities advocates restraining one's desires, bitterly tempering the Dao heart, resisting all temptations, thereby attaining the Great Dao.

In recent years, the former faction has had considerable influence within the True Dragon Dao Institute.

Not long ago, several demon gods who advocate this path personally entered the Dao Institute to lecture, causing many strong ones within to lean toward it.

……

Inside the hermitage, Bai Liying sits opposite the mirror, her face calm; she lacks no secret methods, and every so often Zhang Jian sends her some secret methods to test!

Some of them have limited effect, but one is extraordinarily profound!

Especially the soul secret methods, the secret methods for refining the Dao heart as the main focus.

There are also several killing and combat secret methods.

The Yin-Yang Refinement Form Method sent two years ago is sufficient for her to ponder for a long time.

Relying on these many wonderful methods, she believes she will soon stand out among the many outer disciples, step into the inner gate of the True Dragon Dao Institute, and obtain the True Dragon true transmission.

Once becoming an inner disciple, stepping into the Yin God realm holds great hope.

However, the shifting clouds and mist within the Dao Institute still make her very vigilant.

Just then, she sees a stream of light fly out from within the conch before her eyes; in an instant, a message passes through the conch, merging into her sea of awareness.

After a brief glance, a flicker of joy instantly appeared deep in her beautiful eyes.

"Has Yi'er also entered the sect?"

There was a hint of longing deep in her eyes.

Zhang Yi is her biological son after all—how could she not miss him?

Yet she still forcibly suppressed this longing, believing Zhang Jian would handle everything well.

Everyone has their own path to walk; Zhang Jian has his, Zhang Yi likewise, and so does she.

With Qi Yuhua taking her place, Zhang Yi should not lack maternal love.

Bai Liying's gaze held a complex expression, but she quickly regained her composure, her mind more occupied with calculating how to vie for this spot to enter the Grand Void Dragon Gate.

……

Xishan Guan, silent for a month, An Ruiming could no longer restrain herself and reappeared before the Daoist temple once again.
