Chapter 646: Awakening Dragon Clan talent, Supreme Dragon Transformation Pool?

~19 min read 3,666 words

"The ascent of Longxuan City will last for three solar years, but after this battle, there shouldn't be any forces coming to attack us."

At the Water-Moon Star Pass, on the Star-Gazing Platform, Ji Si introduced the situation to Zhao Xing, Ji Che, and a group of ministers.

"Just a moment ago, thirteen envoys brought congratulatory messages, wanting to establish friendly relations with us."

"Why only thirteen?" Ji Che asked, somewhat puzzled as he flipped through them.

The battle for the foothold had achieved significant results. Among the three major God King forces, the Ningta God Kingdom was destroyed, and its territory was fully taken over.

The Xiang Wu Xin God King City was still resisting, but half of its territory had already been occupied.

The Seven-Domain Heavenly Mountain had suffered fewer losses; after the King Lie Jin God King died, his territory was quickly carved up by the other six kings, and they showed a united front, quickly stabilizing the internal strife.

The Great Zhou's strength was now expanding, but expeditionary warfare and defensive warfare were two different things, so they temporarily had no intention of taking the Seven-Domain Heavenly Mountain as their target.

However, even so, the battle for the foothold was enough to demonstrate the strength of Longxuan City. Logically speaking, many forces should have come to make friends.

"It's mainly because the Ancestral Bright Dao Court is still pressing down like a great mountain," Zhao Xing pondered. "Before the Ancestral Bright Dao Lord ends the bounty and pursuit against me, no one dares to offend them."

Ji Si nodded: "Yes, the Hongze Land and the Honggu Heaven each have a Dao Lord, but they followed the Feather Emperor to the Chaos Epoch and cannot return easily."

"The Honggu Dao Court and the Hongze Dao Court actually have no deterrent power."

"The Ancestral Bright Dao Lord is considered restrained, not sending a large army to run to the Hongze Land, but that doesn't mean he doesn't dare to do so."

Zhao Xing flipped through the book Bowei had given him: "In a historical record of the Feather Emperor Era, there were seventeen Dao Lords who established Dao Courts, all conferred by the Feather Emperor."

Dao Lords are divided into two types: one is those who established Dao Courts to preach the Dao on behalf of the God Emperor.

The other is those who hold Dao-offering vessels and have no territory to rule.

The former are usually stronger than the latter, but there are exceptions; for example, the Dragon Ancestor's seating position during the Fengshan ceremony was ahead of the Ancestral Bright Dao Lord.

"Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, shouldn't there be nineteen Dao Courts?" Lu Ying asked, puzzled.

"The Haogan Heaven where the Feather Emperor resides, and Xitian, did not establish Dao Courts," Zhao Xing explained.

The Feather Emperor was named Haogan; the Haogan Heaven was where the God Court was located, so naturally, there wouldn't be a second Dao Court. Xitian did not have a Dao Court mainly because at that time, the Si Nong and the Priests were fighting for power, leading to the absence of a Dao Lord in Xitian.

This dispute continued until the Luo Emperor Era. The Luo Emperor's ruling power was weaker than the Feather Emperor's, and at the same time, the Luo Emperor valued Si Nong and belittled Priests, so there was even less chance for a Dao Lord to appear.

"The God War broke out, and of the seventeen Dao Lords, the Feather Emperor took thirteen away."

"Only three Dao Courts in this era had Dao Lords in actual control: the Ancestral Bright Dao Lord of the Ancestral Bright Heaven, the Panhu Dao Lord of the Panhu Heaven, and the Moyi Dao Lord of the Moyi Heaven."

"That's not right. If thirteen were taken away, shouldn't there be four left?" Lu Ying was confused.

Zhao Xing said: "The Dao Lord of the Yanyang Heaven died in the Dao Chaos. That place is the location of the Five-Abyss Thunder God Division."

"The God Emperor went on an expedition to the Chaos Epoch, triggering the Space-Time Dao Chaos. Powerful demons took the opportunity to pass through the Abyss, this unique space-time gate, and appeared in the Feather Emperor Era."

"The Yanyang Dao Lord who was guarding the home died."

"Can even a powerful Dao Lord be killed by demons?" Liu Liu Tianning was surprised. "The Yanyang Dao Lord was still in his own territory; logically speaking, he should have been an invincible existence, right?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "The history book Bowei gave me didn't mention the detailed situation, but it mentioned one thing."

Seeing that Zhao Xing didn't elaborate, Liu Liu Tianning stopped asking.

Zhao Xing didn't say it because he was afraid of triggering causality, because the thing mentioned in the history book Bowei gave him was actually Desolate God Poison.

This made him feel it was unbelievable; was Desolate God Poison actually that powerful?

"Big—God King Zhao—I have doubts," Lu Ying continued to ask: "The demons of the Chaos Epoch raided the home; why didn't the Feather Emperor and the others return?"

"The God Emperors didn't return; in reality, they couldn't return," Huang Li, who was among the guest ministers, spoke up. He became a guest minister of the Great Zhou purely for fun.

"According to the Father God, the five God Wars were all established facts. If the Five Emperors returned, the chaos in the River of Time would destroy everything from the source."

The people of the Great Zhou understood Huang Li's words very well, because in the early Third Epoch of the Desolate Domain, they had experienced space-time turbulence and the crisis of chaotic memories.

That was just a few God King forces, a few Heavenly-Dimension Beasts, and some history-book worms causing it.

If it were the space-time turbulence triggered by the God Emperors, they didn't know what kind of crisis it would be.

"The Dao Lords who left with the God Emperor cannot return easily either, so in reality, of the seventeen Dao Courts in this era, only three are worthy of the name. The rest of the places are controlled by God Kings."

Lu Ying suddenly realized: "No wonder the Dao Lord of the Ancestral Bright Heaven can order the God Kings of the Hongze Land. Bohan of Taishi City, because he couldn't fulfill the agreement, even had to reincarnate to apologize to the Ancestral Bright Dao Lord."

"It's not bad that thirteen forces are willing to come and make friends," Zhao Xing laughed. "At least our three neighbors have shown a friendly attitude."

After the battle for the foothold was fought, the entire territory of the Ningta God Kingdom, half of the territory ruled by the Xiang Wu Xin God King City, and a small part of the Seven-Domain Heavenly Mountain were already under Zhao Xing's control.

Under the new map, the three neighbors were: first, the Night Sea, ruled by the Night Sea God King.

His subordinate, God General Shen Ge, had once participated in the Battle of God-Machine City, and Zhao Xing had borrowed the space-time gate under the Night Sea God King's command many times to pass through when traversing space-time.

Second, the Chiji God Kingdom. The Chiji clan's true form was a mixed-blood demon race with a red horse head, human body, and crocodile tail.

Third, the Five-Boundary Island. The Five-Boundary Island Lord was very famous because he was the first Heavenly River Marshal, managing the Heavenly River in the Feather Emperor Era. However, after the Dao Chaos occurred, the Five-Boundary Island Lord broke free from the shackles of this divine position.

The power of the Heavenly River Marshal's divine position had also weakened significantly.

The three new neighbors all sent congratulatory messages and gifts at the first opportunity.

With forces in these three directions blocking the way, it would be very difficult for new enemies to appear in Longxuan City in the short term.

Ji Che pondered: "If we want to expand again, we can only fight in the direction of the Seven-Domain Heavenly Mountain."

The Five-Boundary Island, the Chiji God Kingdom, and the Night Sea had all become allies, at least on the surface, lacking a moral excuse for conquest.

"Your Majesty, I think there is no need to rush; it is better to develop for a period of time," Ji Si said.

"I know; I was just thinking about it," Ji Che laughed.

The Great Zhou needed a long time to absorb new territories and strong figures before the national fortune could grow strong.

Zhao Xing's soul was at the God King Realm, but his God Body was not yet.

In addition, there were too many foreign guest ministers in the Great Zhou, while the strength of the local ministers was still very low.

The next active attack would have to wait at least until the cultivation realms of ministers like Xia Jing, Liu Liu Tianning, and Long Xiao came up.

After determining the future plan, the morning court ended.

Zhao Xing found Qing Qing Yu Zi: "Old Qing, now that Longxuan City is safe, prepare yourself; we are going to the Double-Spring Epoch to take a look."

"My time is also running out; Eldest Brother Zi requires me to follow him to cultivate in the next solar year—"

Qing Qing Yu Zi was surprised: "What are you talking about? Why are we going to the Double-Spring Epoch?"

Zhao Xing was stunned: "Did you forget?"

The confusion in Qing Qing Yu Zi's eyes deepened: "Forget what?"

"The Causal Willow! We are going to the Double-Spring Epoch to find a person named Wu Sangong—"

Qing Qing Yu Zi said solemnly: "Causal Willow—I really don't remember having such a thing. Zhao Xing, are you serious?"

Zhao Xing took out a star mirror, which recorded the conversation between himself and Old Qing.

After Qing Qing Yu Zi looked at it, he was suddenly surprised: "Damn, I don't remember this at all."

"No wonder I felt there were unreasonable parts about the memory of the Wushu God King City. I thought it was the perfect disguise of the Hou Hou Hou Bian Method."

"It's my fault," Zhao Xing sighed, "I've been busy with other things."

Dragging it out for too long, Qing Qing Yu Zi had now completely forgotten the place where he had obtained the miraculous encounter.

"If it's meant to be, it will be; if it's not, don't force it," Qing Qing Yu Zi comforted Zhao Xing instead. "I forgot, but you still remember."

"Anyway, you promised Bowei that you would go to the Disaster Epoch. If you set off, you will pass by that era. We can stop by and see if we can find any clues."

"If not, then it means we have no affinity with the treasure."

Zhao Xing nodded. He had promised Bowei three things: first, to take him to the Xuanhuang World; second, to take him to the Ten-Direction Mountain; and third, to go to the Disaster Epoch to verify Bowei's Dao.

Among them, the Disaster Epoch was a place Zhao Xing had to go to anyway.

To Proving the Dao and become a True God, Zhao Xing had already Proved the Law and the Earth.

The Patching-Heaven Opening-Desolation Method and the Nether-Ancient Mountain Classic were not very related to Heaven and Objects.

The Disaster Epoch might allow the Boundless God-Machine to transform and attain Proving in Heavenly Time.

Qing Qing Yu Zi said: "The opportunity for the God Body to break through lies in the shining of the Polar Stars. The Disaster Epoch is a time point before the Five Emperors Era. If the phantom of the Polar Stars is left in the River of Time, it can only be found before this time point."

"The era before the Five Emperors is filled with dangers, but you said that Bowei has contracted a demon god and can meet you, which can reduce the danger of going to the Disaster Epoch."

"Damn Gu Xiao hides the stars and seals the world for ten thousand generations. However, Bowei is a Scholar God, and you are a Three-Origin Si Nong God; there is a good hope of prying open his seal."

Zhao Xing also revealed a smile. As he became stronger and stronger, Damn Gu Xiao's seal on the Heavenly Time Great Dao no longer seemed so unbreakable to him.

"Sooner or later, I will meet him."

"Old Qing, I have a premonition that we will soon have a chance to see Damn Gu Xiao."

Whether they would see Damn Gu Xiao was one thing, but after the battle for the foothold ended, Zhao Xing first went to see Eldest Brother Zi.

At this time, it was already the end of the first solar year since Zhao Xing arrived in the Sunset Desolate Domain.

According to Eldest Brother Zi's arrangement, the independent space-time territory was already in the process of ascending. In the second solar year, he would follow Eldest Brother Zi to cultivate and awaken the Dragon Clan's bloodline talent.

Zhao Xing flew toward the Black Dragon God Palace. The cities along the way were all solemn and dignified in style, and half of the star lands were active with Black Dragons.

They were not as lively as the descendants of other Dragon God Kings and rarely ran around outside.

"Eldest Brother Zi is relatively strict, and the Dragon Clan under his command is also like this," Zhao Xing mused.

He saw a Dragon Clan member who wanted to leave the Desolate Domain to explore the outside world because he was running around, only to be caught by the guard and executed by fire. Even though these Dragon Clan members had high bloodline levels, there was no room for sentiment.

"Eldest Brother, I am here."

Zhao Xing descended to the Black Dragon God Palace.

"Come in."

A thick voice came from inside the palace, and the gate of the Black Dragon God Palace opened.

Zhao Xing walked in, and his vision blurred as he appeared in front of a great mountain.

He stepped on the soft green grass, while the great mountain in front was black.

The Black Dragon Zi's body slowly appeared from the other side of the mountain range, and a huge dragon head also stretched out from the deep mountain.

"Eldest Brother Zi gives me a feeling very similar to the Dragon Ancestor," Zhao Xing mused.

Of the Dragon Ancestor's nine sons, only the Black Dragon Zi was most like the Dragon Ancestor. Whether it was the aura, demeanor, or majesty, it was very difficult to distinguish them.

When Yin Xiu first saw the Black Dragon Zi, he almost thought this was the legendary Dragon Ancestor.

Huang Li once laughed after getting drunk: "When the Father God gave birth to the first descendant, he tried his best; Eldest Brother Zi is almost omnipotent."

"The second to the fifth in the middle were all relatively casual."

"The youngest eighth and ninth were again very attentive, and their talent is higher than ours."

Zhao Xing asked at the time: "How can you tell?"

Huang Li whispered: "Brother Zhao, look at me and Fuming; one is a Si Nong, one is a craftsman. All are doing hard labor. Shuiyue and Qu You, one specializes in medicine, one specializes in music; both are relatively leisurely."

Zhao Xing was just thinking about this when a voice interrupted him.

"Huang Li is talking nonsense with you again; he deserves a beating."

Zhao Xing was startled: "Eldest Brother, please forgive me; Fifth Brother was drunk at the time."

The Black Dragon Zi let out a hum, his dragon claw grabbed a mountain stone, and with a flick of his finger, the stone flew out.

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly; it seemed that Brother Huang Li was going to be beaten by this stone.

"Zhao Xing, come up the mountain."

"Yes."

Zhao Xing flew to the Black Dragon Mountain. At the peak of the great mountain, there was a pool.

What was inside was not flowing water, but strands of light.

Looking closely, these strands were like dragon patterns. Zhao Xing used his Heaven-Piercing Divine Eye to see the extreme details and could still see lifelike dragon shapes.

And the appearance of these dragons was exactly the same as the Dragon Ancestor.

There were also some light spots and black blocky objects in the pool.

Zhao Xing was shocked to find that they were actually miniature sun-moon twin stars and land.

"Eldest Brother, is this specially built for me?"

Normal Dragon Clan awakening didn't need yin-yang twin stars and divine-level terrestrial veins at all.

Obviously, this was prepared specifically for him.

"Hmm."

Eldest Brother Zi's dragon whiskers danced lightly.

"Your situation is relatively special. If the level of the Dragon Transformation Pool is low, it will not only fail to strengthen your Mixed-Origin God Body but will instead lower the grade of your God Body."

"Therefore, a Supreme Dragon Transformation Pool is needed."

"Fortunately, there have been similar examples in the past, and it took more than eight hundred years to prepare it to take shape."

"There have been examples in the past—Eldest Brother is talking about Shu Ji?"

Zhao Xing immediately thought of Shu Ji.

"Hmm."

"I didn't expect this Si Nong God to have such a connection with the Dragon Clan," Zhao Xing realized.

It was also normal; the Dragon Clan was also a hero of heaven and earth opening, so it was normal to have interactions.

If the relationship were average, Shu Ji's spells wouldn't have ended up in Huang Li's hands originally.

"It is connected to the River of Time, perhaps it can help you absorb some Polar Star power."

"However, you must remember that you can stay in the Supreme Dragon Transformation Pool for at most one solar year."

"Whether you succeed or not, you must wake up in time."

The Black Dragon Zi's dragon claw emitted a black light, which sank into Zhao Xing's Heavenly Spirit Cover.

"Do not forget."

"Understood." Zhao Xing accepted the Black Dragon Zi's guidance quietly.

A black dragon soul appeared in his Life Palace; this was transformed from spiritual power.

If Zhao Xing got lost in the Dragon Transformation Pool, this black dragon soul could help.

But it still couldn't completely eliminate the danger.

Because the Supreme Dragon Transformation Pool was prepared by the Dragon Ancestor when he gave birth to his descendants, and it was constantly simplified after the nine great Dragon Gods were born.

There had only been two restarts in history: once to save the Dao companion of the Carefree Dao Lord, and once for Shu Ji to use.

Now Zhao Xing had obtained the third chance.

"Clatter~"

Zhao Xing was pushed by the dragon claw and fell into the vortex of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

He felt a sense of dizziness, and with a swoosh, his soul and body separated.

And immediately after, Zhao Xing saw an incredible scene.

His Mixed-Origin God Body actually cracked, and meridians, bones, and internal organs separated one by one.

"My God Body split like this, and I'm actually completely fine?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.

Immediately after, his soul suddenly felt a violent push, as if it had been thrown up.

A scorching light point appeared in the sky.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.

He felt a familiar sensation.

"The Dragon Transformation Pool is connected to the endless River of Time. Could it be that I saw the Polar Star as soon as I came down?"

Just as Zhao Xing was happy.

Swoosh~

The scorching light point suddenly sank violently, as if a canine beast shadow appeared and swallowed it in one gulp.

Zhao Xing was shocked and immediately chased after the black beast shadow.

"Don't run! Let me take a look!"

He instinctively paddled and chased after the black shadow rapidly.

However, the light point soon went far away, and no matter how hard Zhao Xing tried, he couldn't catch up, always maintaining a distance.

The surrounding space-time scenes flashed by constantly, but Zhao Xing ignored them; his eyes only had the swallowed starlight, which was the thing his soul craved the most.

Outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Black Dragon Zi suddenly turned into a human form, frowning as he looked at Zhao Xing in the pool.

He pointed, and one of Zhao Xing's bones floated up; this was the God Bone where the Boundary Core imprint was located.

"Hum~"

The Black Dragon Zi hooked his hand, the God Bone shook, and a light shadow appeared.

A Year Beast with a rice bowl in its mouth appeared by the pool.

It was just that the Year Beast's eyes were tightly closed, and it had only eaten half of the rice in its mouth, but its four limbs were constantly paddling, as if it were running wildly.

The Black Dragon Zi's expression was solemn, because this Year Beast had a power he was familiar with.

This power had once come to seek an audience with the Dragon Ancestor and had entered the Fengshan Land. ===== CHAPTER 647 =====
