Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The instant the Thunder Dragon lowered its head, Xu Zhangqing forced a drop of essence blood from his fingertip, wrapped it with his divine soul imprint, and sent it swiftly flying toward the other's skull.

The Thunder Dragon understood his intent and allowed the essence blood to land on its forehead.

The moment it touched the dragon scales, it instantly transformed into colorful patterns, spreading along the dragon's body following its contours, finally condensing into a small, delicate contract rune that fused into the Thunder Dragon's origin.

This was not a forced enslavement contract, but a companion contract, which both allowed Xu Zhangqing to control the Thunder Dragon and could grow together with the Thunder Spirit Root.

Just like Lei Yuan, who had a companion Thunder Pattern Green Jiao.

And the Thunder Spirit Root was even more powerful, directly giving birth to a Thunder Dragon as a companion.

The moment the contract was completed, thunder light erupted around the Thunder Dragon's entire body, then its figure shrank drastically, finally transforming into a streak of purple flowing light that darted toward Xu Zhangqing's brow like a living thing, then fused into his Thunder Spirit Root, hiding itself completely.

Xu Zhangqing sensed the dragon might within his Thunder Spirit Root and nodded: "Done."

Having dealt with the Thunder Dragon, he did not leave, but instead swept his gaze across the entire Yaoguang Cave.

Since he had come, he might as well explore a bit; there might be other gains.

With the aid of the Soul-Nurturing Wood Ring's effect of amplifying divine sense, Xu Zhangqing searched carefully inside Yaoguang Cave.

The cave interior was quite vast; the rock walls were covered in scorch marks formed by long-term thunder strikes, and the air was filled with tyrannical thunder spiritual energy.

After searching for a moment, he perceived energy fluctuations coming from underground.

He immediately moved, landing on the empty space at the center of the cave; with a surge of mana sent into the ground, the earth split open with a boom, revealing a deep grotto.

At the bottom of the grotto, scattered quite a few fist-sized purple crystals; thunder patterns coiled on the crystal surfaces, faintly exuding the aura of dragon blood.

Xu Zhangqing bent down to pick up a crystal and examine it; a flash of pleasant surprise crossed his eyes: "This is... Thunder Dragon Blood Crystal!"

This crystal was no ordinary mineral, but a rare ore formed over thousands of years by the special environment of Yaoguang Cave, the thunder power of the Thunder Domain, plus the dragon blood dripped by the Thunder Dragon.

Thunder Dragon Blood Crystal contains pure thunder power and dragon blood origin; it is a top-grade material for refining thunder-type magic tools or magic treasures.

Magic tools refined with it can not only amplify thunder might but also carry a dragon might effect, having a natural restraining effect on yin-evil type cultivators or demon beasts.

Xu Zhangqing did not hesitate, collecting all the Thunder Dragon Blood Crystals in the grotto into the Si Geng Token — over a hundred pieces, enough to refine several supreme-grade magic tools.

Confirming there were no other omissions inside Yaoguang Cave, Xu Zhangqing then turned and flew toward the cave entrance.

But before he could exit, his divine sense detected people outside — not one or two, but a group, seemingly having just arrived at Yaoguang Cave and preparing to enter.

Xu Zhangqing's brow furrowed; he immediately put on the Phantom Mask, disguising himself as another appearance.

After confirming there was no problem, he then walked out.

The moment he came out, he saw over a dozen mysterious cultivators dressed in black Daoist robes standing outside the cave, each holding a flute in hand.

Xu Zhangqing didn't need to guess to know they were all Spirit Insect Cultivators controlled by the Wu Sheng Chong Mu.

The three leaders had quite solid auras; one look showed they were Golden Core True Persons.

As for whether they were Human Grade or Earth Grade, it was unclear at the moment, but of course it wasn't important either.

The rest, judging from their aura fluctuations, should all be Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Seeing Xu Zhangqing come out from inside, they were first stunned, then greed flashed in their eyes.

"Unexpectedly there's a human cultivator hiding in Yaoguang Cave!"

"Looks like he presumably got quite a few benefits inside?"

"Be sensible and hand over all treasures, and perhaps we'll spare your life!"

The Spirit Insect Cultivators swarmed forward, black mist rising around them, countless poisonous insects shuttling through the mist, emitting hair-raising hissing.

Relying on their numbers, they didn't put Xu Zhangqing in their eyes at all.

In their view, even if the person before them was Golden Core Stage, he couldn't withstand the siege of three Golden Core True Persons plus a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Facing this, Xu Zhangqing's expression was calm, even too lazy to waste words.

To deal with this sort of trash, there was absolutely no need for the Chaos Dharma Aspect.

Immediately his mind moved, directly connecting with the Thunder Spirit Root.

Hum—

Purple thunder light burst from his brow, a dragon shadow manifesting out of thin air.

Thunder light coiled around the Thunder Dragon, dragon might imposing, momentum astonishing.

"Thun... Thunder Dragon?"

"Is Senior perhaps from the Longhu Immortal Sect?"

"Spare us, Senior, spare us!"

Seeing this scene, the Spirit Insect Cultivators were dumbstruck; someone immediately begged for mercy.

Roar!

However, the only answer they got was the Thunder Dragon's furious roar; in an instant, countless thick bolts of thunder slashed down at the Spirit Insect Cultivators.

These people had no time to dodge and were directly enveloped within.

"Ah!"

Miserable screams rose and fell; the black mist was annihilated in the thunder light.

As for the poisonous insects they prided themselves on, they were all electrocuted into flying ash.

Those three Golden Core True Persons also, under the thunder bombardment, saw their auras rapidly wither.

Not waiting for these people to beg for mercy, the Thunder Dragon opened its huge mouth, erupting with a powerful suction force, swallowing the Spirit Insect Cultivators along with the poisonous insects they controlled all together into its mouth, just like that eating them up.

The entire process took but an instant; the originally ferocious Spirit Insect Cultivators were wiped out to the last man, not even a scrap of residue left.

Xu Changqing's mouth corner twitched: "At least leave the storage bag behind!"

He spread his divine sense, confirming no cultivators remained in the surroundings, only then did he feel at ease.

Immediately after, his mind moved, and the thunder dragon transformed into a streak of thunder light, fusing back into his brow center.

Following that, Xu Changqing summoned the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat, infused it with magic power, and the small boat rapidly enlarged, transforming into a giant ship of several dozen zhang.

Xu Changqing quickly boarded the ship, drove the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat to submerge into the water, then departed from here.

……

……

Once the vessel sailed into a safe zone, Xu Changqing finally stopped.

Then his mind moved, and his spiritual roots began to differentiate.

Instantly, the Nascent Soul power within his body converged, and the aura around his body weakened accordingly.

After a moment, it dropped from Extreme Grade Nascent Soul to Superior Nascent Soul, then stopped changing.

Tai Bai, Gonggong, Zhu Rong, Nu Tu, Fenglong — the five "people" appeared once more.

However, their condition gave Xu Changqing a fright; he saw that behind each of them, a Nascent Soul Dharma Form had appeared.

Tai Bai's Dharma Form:

Handsome features, yet utterly lifeless.

Draped in a Starlight White Gold Robe, wearing the Seven Feather Severing Tribulation Crown.

Seven White Killing Stars rotated at his left fingertips.

Behind him the White Tiger Constellation unfurled, every star transformed from sword intent.

Gonggong's Dharma Form:

Human face, snake body, clad in Black Water Xuan Snake Scale Armor, wearing the Black Jade Heaven-Piercing Crown.

Left hand upholding the Gui Xu Sea Eye, a constantly rotating vortex.

Beneath his feet a Black Water Xuan Snake coiled, behind him the North Ming phantom rose and fell.

Zhu Rong's Dharma Form:

Beast body, human face, draped in a Li Fire Robe, fire snakes hanging as pendants from his ears.

Riding two fire dragons, holding a candle that might extinguish at any moment, yet never extinguishes.

Behind him the Civilization Long River phantom rushed, lamps flickering within the river, representing the rise and fall of civilizations.

Nu Tu's Dharma Form:

Human body, snake tail, seven hands each holding a different divine artifact phantom: seal, tripod, ruler, jade tablet, drum, plow, city.

Nine-layered Sky Vault above his head, treading the Eighteen Spiritual Veins beneath his feet, mountains and rivers manifesting in his chest and abdomen.

Holding a Xuanhuang Great Seal heavy as a mountain.

Fenglong's Dharma Form:

Majestic Emperor Lord appearance, wearing Twenty-Four Thunder Emperor Crowns, each face corresponding to a type of divine thunder.

Clad in the Ten Thousand Thunder Cloud Robe, thunder patterns on the robe automatically evolving scenes of the myriad heavens' worlds being born and perishing.

Left hand a thunder pool, right hand a sky hammer, mounted on a Kui Ox that treads thunder and roars.

Xu Changqing finished reading, his complexion changed slightly: "Slaughter Tribulation God, Gui Xu God, Transformation God, Heaven-Bearing God, Universal Transformation God — all are Root God Dharma Forms!"

Zhu Rong lifted his chin: "Look at yourself."

Xu Changqing heard this and turned his head, instantly his pupils shrank.

Behind himself, it was no longer that mass of chaos qi.

Instead, human face, bird body, four seasons flower tree wings growing from his back.

Left wing spring flowers, right wing summer leaves.

Treading an Azure Dragon phantom beneath his feet.

Holding a brush with a wooden branch for shaft and beast hair for bristles.

Twenty-four halos encircling his body, representing the Twenty-Four Solar Terms.

Xu Changqing recognized it at a glance and blurted out: "Creation God!"
