Chapter 254 True Dragon Blood, Old Dragon Emperor's Worries

The old Dragon Emperor pondered for a moment and replied, "Theoretically, it's possible, but that requires extremely high spatial attainments and weapon-refining skills. At least one must cultivate to the point where they can construct a permanent long-distance teleportation array or a stable spatial channel."

"The fourth floor of the Inner Court Library, Section B, contains texts documenting the use of spatial power and the understanding of the Great Dao of Space. The top floor, under the weapon refining section, contains a method for constructing a temporary cross-boundary teleportation array. If you're confident in yourself, you can try that."

"If you have any questions, ask them quickly before I disappear. I can answer everything I know. I will probably be gone in less than half a year."

"Half a year?" Lu Wenwu was shocked. "How could that be? In your current state, even if you survive for a few hundred more years, there won't be any problems."

As a former ghost messenger from the underworld, although most of the time he did not use the methods of a ghost messenger to solve problems.

But after a year of training, he still has some eyesight.

After a powerful being like the Old Dragon Emperor voluntarily cuts off a wisp of his soul and binds it to the Dragon Palace, it is easy for him to survive for tens of thousands of years as long as he has something to nourish his soul.

A split soul is not a complete soul, nor is it a complete living being. It is just a living memory that carries experiences and some emotions.

It is very difficult to keep a complete soul alive.

Even the ghost king of the underworld and even the ghosts and gods have to rely on the reincarnation system of the underworld to do this. Only the true Yin God can be almost immortal.

However, it is too easy to make a fragment of the soul last forever.

A smile appeared on Ao Wanhai's face again, and his eyes revealed a sense of freedom and helplessness.

"Child, I am just a fragment of soul, an incomplete fragment of memory, and an incomplete life."

"Even so, after more than ten thousand years of sleep and waiting, I still feel lonely and sad."

"After I got to you, my mission was accomplished. The breath of air in my heart has been released, and I feel a little tired. I just want to sleep."

Lu Wenwu raised his head with a complicated expression.

His lips moved, but he couldn't utter the words in his mouth.

Faced with such an "old man" who was determined to die, the questions he had wanted to ask before were a little too inhumane.

Think about it.

The Skyfire Demon God had only been imprisoned in the small world for thousands of years, and even though he had something to pass the time, he was so lonely that he wanted to commit suicide to find freedom.

And this remnant soul of Ao Wanhai stayed here for more than 11,000 years.

The old Dragon Emperor chuckled, his eyes revealing a kindness that was completely inconsistent with his appearance. "I can see that you seem to be in great need of a teacher's guidance. It is indeed not easy for a casual cultivator to reach this point."

Lu Wenwu lowered his head and remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

He did.

But that is indeed something.

"One hundred and sixty-seven days, nine hours, and three quarters. This is the total time it takes for the dragon to dissipate naturally without relying on the power of the Dragon Palace to maintain it." Ao Wanhai suddenly spoke, "In terms of cultivation, you have already forged your own path. But in combat, I think you may need some experience from an old dragon."

Lu Wenwu looked up suddenly, his eyes extremely complicated.

He didn't understand why.

In the absence of any exchange of interests, how could there be people who would give their all to a stranger they had only met for the first time?

Is it really just because of the so-called bloodline and the so-called inheritance?

He looked at Ao Wanhai.

In the eyes of this old dragon, who knew how many years he had lived, apart from deep fatigue, he only saw relief and excitement.

The Eye of True Vision also did not provide any explanation as to why anything was wrong.

The other party is sincere.

"I don't understand why?" Lu Wenwu whispered, "You've given me so much, but I haven't given anything substantial in return. I already feel ashamed of it. But why are you still paying me back? It won't do you any good."

"Why? Hahahahahaha you kid are really hahahahahaha"

The old Dragon King suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he fell back and forth, unable to straighten his back.

It was not until a long time later that his laughter gradually subsided.

"I like you more and more, really. If it were ten thousand years ago, I would definitely make you the crown prince. I don't have a son anyway, and those old guys can't fight as well as me, haha!"

The old Dragon King said happily, patted Lu Wenwu's back hard again, and winked at him playfully.

"Don't understand why? Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Sooner or later you will understand that you don't need others to give you benefits to do everything. Boy, figure it out on your own, hehe!"

Lu Wenwu was left in a state of confusion by his childish behavior, and the slight frustration in his heart dissipated silently.

That's all

No matter what the reason is, you cannot refuse a gift from an elder.

Then I will continue.

If the other party really has an intention

Lu Wenwu touched the Underworld's Pardon Order on his waist, and immediately felt a lot more at ease.

The value of the action taken by King Yama himself cannot be lower than that of Di Ting, right?

There are also life and death talismans

Wait, a life and death talisman?

Lu Wenwu suddenly remembered that it seemed like he hadn't heard the Skyfire Demon God speak for a long time.

This guy was knocked unconscious by the pressure before. Could he not have woken up yet?

"Are you worried about the little tiger's soul?" the old Dragon Emperor asked casually. "I've suppressed him. It's best for outsiders not to know about our family's private affairs. He can't wake up until I disappear. But don't worry, his life is not in danger."

Being in the Dragon Mansion, the controller possesses a powerful force that is almost as strong as the way of heaven. The life and death talisman is not a magical instrument specially used to carry the soul, so it is difficult to conceal the fluctuations of the soul.

"Senior, please be merciful. The name of this soul is Skyfire. It will temporarily serve as my warehouse manager."

Lu Wenwu gave a straight shot of flattery.

"I accidentally went to a small world before and obtained the inheritance left by the son of the White Tiger God. He was the world spirit there, and I inherited it as well."

"Speaking of which, in that world there is a peculiar race called the Armored People."

Taking the Skyfire Demon God as an excuse, Lu Wenwu briefly described the previous battle against the Armored People, and showed off the Life Armor fragments, Blood Pattern Life Armor casting technique, and other items he had obtained.

The old Dragon King pondered for a moment, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes, as if he had figured something out in an instant.

But he suppressed these emotional changes in an instant, and replaced them with unprecedented determination.

"I know about the White Tiger Lord, but I have never heard of the Armored Man race. They might have been encountered when the Immortal Realm was fighting the True Demons, and were suppressed by the Lord's son to be used to train future generations."

"If he still has the energy to open up a small world and set up trials, then it seems that we may have the upper hand in the Immortal World War, or even that it has already ended. He is just clearing out some remnants who have surrendered to the True Demons. Don't worry too much."

"As for the Life Armor, it can't be considered an unorthodox method, but at least it's completely useless to you. It's more suitable for ordinary human cultivators with little talent, as it can amplify the power of a group."

"Your unique talent, combined with your special training method, is infinitely more powerful than the Life Armor itself. I have to admit that even the True Dragon Nine Guards, the orthodox tradition of my dragon clan, is not as powerful as your current training method."

"Melting the body and soul into one furnace and tempering them together, this terrifying spiritual energy refining efficiency, if one were to practice our clan's techniques, it would probably be enough to break through from Qi Refining to Spiritual Transformation within five years, and even summon a thunder tribulation to ascend to heaven on the spot."

"Oh, yes. If you're lucky enough to encounter a small world again in the future, there's no need to give it up. When the time comes, place the Dragon Palace Core against the cores of the other small worlds, and the Dragon Palace Core will merge them into it, preserving their original appearance."

"When our ancestors were refining this Dragon Palace, they said that if the Dragon Palace could absorb and assimilate enough World Stones, it might even have a chance to transform into a true small world. If you plan to take it away, you must cherish it."

"This is natural. I will keep it in mind."

Lu Wenwu responded and bowed with his fists clasped.

"Compared to the Dragon Mansion, could you please give me some pointers on my current shortcomings? Previously, when I fought against two mid-stage Spiritualization cultivators and one early-stage Spiritualization cultivator, I always felt like I was holding back and feeling very frustrated."

"Two words—lack of practice."

The old Dragon Emperor glanced at him, forcing a smile from the corner of his mouth, looking no different from before.

"The bloody murderous aura you exude is so intense that even I'm frightened. It's not a case of lacking actual combat experience."

"If that's the case, then it's because you lack experience fighting immortal cultivators and lack understanding of their various methods."

“You may not know how to do it, but you must understand.”

"I hope that during the next six months of practice, before I disappear, you can deeply engrave these experiences into your mind, imprint them into your body, and your soul."

Lu Wenwu's expression became serious: "I will follow your instructions, senior. Please give me your guidance."

"There's no rush for this. You'll see it in the Void Dragon Realm."

The old Dragon Emperor shook his head slightly.

"Now, follow me to the Shenglong Pond to further transform and perfect your dragon body."

"Although your body is powerful, the dragon talent in your bloodline has only been activated to a maximum of three out of ten. This is a waste of natural talent."

"Without transforming into a unique dragon body of its own, it cannot be considered a true dragon."

"I'll follow your instructions, senior." Lu Wenwu bowed again.

Only at this moment did the flame pattern behind him quietly disappear without a trace.

Maomao was so tired in Lingtian Cave that he kept sticking out his tongue and felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Relying on the mysterious connection in the master-pet contract to map power across boundaries consumes several times more than usual. What's more, he just faced a powerful immortal like the Old Dragon Emperor, and Maomao suddenly felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

Suddenly, the dog's life felt a little tired.

I must eat a roasted whole lamb to replenish my energy later!

On the other side, the old Dragon Emperor waved his hand and brought Lu Wenwu to the Shenglong Pool he had just mentioned.

Shenglong Pool, Hualong Gate and Xulong Realm are the only three remaining treasures in the Dragon Mansion.

Since the Dragon Mansion itself was connected, it was not taken away and remained here.

However, because the inherent "spirit" has been extinguished for many years and has never welcomed a true owner, the three treasures have remained dormant here and cannot exert their true effectiveness.

Now, the Shenglong Pool, which can help the dragon clan purify its bloodline and strengthen its body, is finally about to regain its own power!

Although it is called a pond, it is actually almost the size of a small lake.

The light golden liquid inside is surging, and it looks a bit sticky and gelatinous to the naked eye. I don’t know what the substance inside is.

When Lu Wenwu opened his Eye of Analysis, he could only come up with the four words "Shenglong Jisui".

The old Dragon King stretched out his hand, and a storage ring suddenly appeared in his hand, spewing out the massive resources contained in it.

As soon as the vast amount of natural treasures came out, they hovered above the Shenglong Pool, undergoing one completely different change after another, and then continued to sink into the sticky golden pool water.

As more and more rare treasures were added, the color of Shenglong's essence became deeper and darker.

Until the end, the old Dragon Emperor took out a red bead and threw it in. The water in the entire Shenglong Pool turned bright red like blood in an instant, and it kept rolling and swirling as if it was boiling. The majestic dragon power was overwhelming.

The old Dragon Emperor pointed at the churning pool of blood and said, "Take off all the pieces of your body, transform into a dragon body without any changes, and completely immerse yourself in it. Absorb as much as you can. All the ascending dragon essence accumulated over the past ten thousand years will be yours."

"The process will be painful, but how far you can go depends on your own luck. If you can transform into a more powerful dragon body, even if you ascend to the immortal realm in the future and encounter unfamiliar dragons, they will treat you with respect."

"The process of transforming into a dragon body can only be understood, not explained. You just need to remember to fully absorb the essence of the ascending dragon while also fully stimulating the power of your bloodline. The inheritance in your bloodline will guide you to transform into the dragon body that best suits you."

Lu Wenwu nodded slightly and took out a gorgeous crimson crystal from his backpack.

[Name: True Dragon Blood]

[Type: Bloodline Wonder]

[Introduction: Only when a supremely gifted and powerful True Dragon unexpectedly dies in the prime of life, will there be a chance that a Heart Blood Crystal will be released from the Dragon's heart after its core disintegrates and its power is completely absorbed into its bloodline. After refining this, a True Dragon in its growth stage can achieve some incredible transformations.]

[Tip: Please use with caution if the [Physique] attribute is below 8500]

[Warning: Do not use if you are not a True Dragon Bloodline owner]

Although Lu Wenwu didn't know how powerful this so-called true dragon blood was, it didn't prevent him from judging that now was the best time to use it.

Shenglongchi is a professional assistant in this field.

Without any hesitation, Lu Wenwu swallowed the precious dragon blood into his stomach.

Before he could activate the Heaven-Devouring and Earth-Eating Power, a burning heat like fire erupted from his body and quickly spread to his limbs and bones.

That kind of overbearing power made Lu Wenwu unable to help but roar to the sky, emitting a shocking dragon roar.

In an instant, he pushed his true dragon combat body to the extreme, transformed into a mighty true dragon with flames burning all over his body, and suddenly plunged into the rolling pool of sticky blood.

"True dragon blood? Legend has it that this precious dragon treasure only appears with extremely low probability after a dragon of extraordinary talent, at least in the True Fairyland, unexpectedly dies. This kid actually has such great luck, he's stronger than me, and maybe he can really avoid this disaster."

The old Dragon Emperor, who had witnessed everything, finally relaxed his brows a little, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Listening to the painful dragon roar surging from the blood pool, his eyes became softer and softer, as kind as an ordinary old man in the city, as if he was looking at his own grandson who was taking the college entrance examination.

"I don't know which world you came from, good boy, please don't let me down."

"The Dragon Palace's true spirit has completely dissipated, which means that even our ancestors perished in this war. The outcome is still unknown."

"I hope you can survive with our share of the dragon clan!"
