Chapter 415: Corpse Transformation, True Spirit Transformation

Lu Chen did not give any response to the speculation of the "fisherman" beside him.

At this moment, he seemed to have put all his energy into the 'Fallen Dragon Lake' in front of him, staring at the lake that was boiling because of the corpses of many mountain masters.

Soon, more and more "fish" were attracted.

Some average-sized dragon fish appeared.

It was a huge dragon fish that was hundreds of meters long.

Its appearance directly shocked the other dragon fish around it.

It immediately knocked a gap in the dense school of fish, and then bit the body of the mountain master thrown by Lu Chen.

The aura of this dragon fish is extraordinary, and it is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary creature.

If it were any other mountain master, he might have taken action by now and tried to catch this hundred-meter-long dragon fish.

But Lu Chen seemed not to have seen this scene and still maintained his fishing posture.

Let the dragon fish eat the body of a mountain master and then leave leisurely.

The fisherman next to him saw this and asked in confusion: "Boy, this hundred-meter-long dragon fish is not common. Why did you let it go?"

Lu Chen did not answer, but continued to look at the school of dragon fish below.

Seeing that Lu Chen ignored him, the fisherman frowned.

After a while, a larger dragon fish appeared.

This one is three times larger than the previous one.

The shadow just beneath the lake is enough to make people tremble with fear.

But strangely, Lu Chen still did not attack the dragon fish.

After letting go of two big fish in succession, the fisherman next to him fell completely silent, his face becoming increasingly uglier.

It seemed that it was very uncomfortable for Lu Chen not to catch these two dragon fish.

And three days after that.

Although Lu Chen added Nascent Soul stage bait many times.

But for some reason, there was no longer any special dragon fish as huge as the one on the first day in the lake.

But even so, Lu Chen was not impatient at all, but waited patiently.

It seems like he is not worried at all about not catching any fish.

Finally, in the early morning of the fifth day.

A huge monster, nearly a kilometer long, slowly emerged from the bottom of Duojiao Lake.

The size of this dragon fish is so huge that the process of floating up alone causes the surface of the entire lake to rise visibly to the naked eye.

The waves rolling up by the lake were about to submerge the pier.

It seemed as if he was afraid that Lu Chen wouldn't even want this dragon fish.

The fisherman at the side said hurriedly: "Boy, this is the king of Jiao fish in the Fallen Jiao Lake, which is made of dragon scales from the corpse of an ancient Jiao dragon."

"If you can catch this guy, you will inherit the most powerful dragon master so far and become the most powerful dragon master in the history of Daqian Mountain."

"Boy, don't hesitate. If you miss this chance, you will never have another chance."

The fisherman thought that after he said this, Lu Chen, who had been sitting on the fishing platform, would take action.

But at this moment, Lu Chen seemed to understand something.

Although he moved, he was not preparing to attack the thousand-meter-long dragon fish below.

Instead, he put away the fishing rod in his hand and casually threw it aside.

When the fisherman saw this, he was stunned where he was.

Then he thought of something and his expression became extremely gloomy.

"Boy, I thought you were too self-righteous to look down on ordinary 100-meter-long dragon fish."

"But now it seems that I was wrong."

"You have such a big appetite that you want to swallow the entire Jiao Lake in one gulp."

"Aren't you afraid of overloading yourself?"

Lu Chen stood up and finally spoke after so many days.

"It's just a side door. No matter how gorgeously decorated it is, it's hard to be elegant, right?"

Ignoring the fisherman's ugly expression.

As Lu Chen walked towards him, he said, "I was thinking about a question before I came here."

"The source of the Jiao Lord is the corpse of an ancient Jiao dragon. The fact that this dragon corpse can become a place of inheritance means that this ancient Jiao dragon must be a being more powerful than a human."

"As far as I know, they are immortal."

"Even if you die in this life, you will soon enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn again."

"In this case, there are only two ways to create such a reincarnation place."

Lu Chen raised a finger and said calmly: "The first method is to control the corpse of this ancient dragon and seal its true spirit."

"In this way, we can steal the power of the avenue mastered by the dragon while also allowing those who come after us to inherit it continuously."

"I also thought that this inheritance place was the first case, until I met you..."

After hearing this, the fisherman was too lazy to continue pretending.

"Have you seen through my true colors?"

Lu Chen shook his head.

"No."

"and you……"

The fisherman was halfway through his words when he realized what was happening and slapped his forehead.

"By the way, your eyesight is very special. Since you can see the true form of the Fallen Dragon Lake, you should be able to see through my disguise."

"But you just can't see..."

"That's not a problem. On the contrary, it's the biggest problem. After all, in a place like this, how could there be a mortal without any cultivation?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, no problem, that's the biggest problem."

As he spoke, Lu Chen raised two fingers.

"Back to the previous topic, if we want to build a place of inheritance, besides sealing the corpse and true spirit of the ancient dragon, there is only one last way."

"That is to make the other party willing to be the successor."

"When I first saw you, I couldn't be sure whether the situation here was the former or the latter."

"So I need to verify whether you are the one who guards the inheritance land or... the master of this place."

Hearing this, the fisherman smiled helplessly.

Because at this point, he also knew how Lu Chen verified it.

As expected, it was the same method he used a few days ago to mobilize the dragon fish at the bottom of the lake.

Although he thought the whole process was very secretive and would definitely not be discovered by Lu Chen.

But the continuous appearance of giant dragon fish, each one bigger than the last, clearly could not be explained by the word "natural".

Plus this kid's special vision.

Maybe I really saw some clues.

It is not difficult to guess one's true identity in this way.

Thinking of this, the fisherman decided to reveal his true colors.

"That's right, kid. Just as you thought, I am the master of this Dragon Territory."

"Jiao Qie...Ao Chi."

After saying this, the fisherman's figure began to change rapidly.

His shriveled body began to fill out and his figure became sturdy.

A large number of corals are spread all over its body, forming a special armor.

The dragon's head further demonstrates its extraordinary status.

Ao Chi, who revealed his true form, looked at Lu Chen and asked in confusion, "Boy, even if you have seen my true form, what does that matter?"

"In the end, you can only obtain the power of inheritance through the contract signed between me and Da Qianshan."

"You don't think there will be any reward after you discover my true identity, do you?"

"You're overthinking it, kid. This trial is just a deal from beginning to end."

"You give me what I want, and I will give you power, that's all."

Lu Chen looked at Ao Chi who looked puzzled and said calmly: "Under normal circumstances, if we want to complete this inheritance, we can only do as you said."

"But if my guess is correct, you are now... just a wisp of human spirit, right?"

“…”

After Lu Chen said this, the Dragon Lord fell completely silent.

Because he didn't expect Lu Chen to even know this.

Lu Chen ignored the Jiao Lord's ugly expression and said to himself: "Generally speaking, if a person is immortal, it does not mean that his true spirit is immortal, but that the great way he represents is immortal."

“The Great Dao may be invisible, but the True Spirit is visible.”

"Although people can still restore their previous life's cultivation after reincarnation, can they really be the same as before after living another life?"

"I think you guys know this better than I do."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"So if my guess is correct, there are records about the inheritance of the Dragon Lord in Daqian Mountain, which are slightly different from reality."

"For example, according to the records of Daqian Mountain, you were killed by the people behind Daqian Mountain, and then you forcibly created the place of inheritance."

"But in fact, I would rather you take the initiative to seek refuge in Daqian Mountain and use your own inheritance as a price in exchange for Daqian Mountain helping you recover your cultivation."

"After all, I sensed a very familiar force of the avenue in this lake."

"I guess the one who beat you so badly that you had to flee to the Great Thousand Mountains to hide was the Black Lotus Buddha Mother of the Black Lotus Sect, right?"

"After all, the ruthless and desireless power of the avenue in the lake cannot lie."

I heard Lu Chen mention the four words Black Lotus Buddha Mother.

Jiao Ao Chi could no longer control the expression on his face and his face became ferocious.

"Yes, everything is just as you said. The one who beat me so badly was that half-man, half-woman fellow."

"If it weren't for Him, why would I have been trapped here for nearly ten thousand years, and how would I have fallen to this point."

"Boy, you are very smart and resourceful."

"But being too clever is not a good thing. If it weren't for the Dao Contract between me and Da Qian Shan, I wouldn't be able to take the initiative to attack you guys."

"Otherwise, based on what you said, I will tear out your tendons and bones and bury you in this forest of bones."

"Okay, kid, now quickly pick a dragon fish from the lake and get out of here."

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly laughed.

This smile made Jiao Ao Chi a little confused.

"Boy, what are you laughing at? Don't you want the Great Dao of Transformation?"

Lu Chen did not answer directly, but held the magic sword behind him in his hand.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to ask me to sacrifice part of my true spirit in exchange for someone else's avenue."

"If I really inherit your great power, at best my cultivation will stagnate, at worst I will be possessed by you, right?"

If Jiao Qi's previous shock was three-tenths real, the remaining seven-tenths were all pretense.

His current shock was real.

Because everything was just as Lu Chen said.

If he really did as he said and fished out a dragon fish from the bottom of the lake.

Then he just needs to eat the dragon fish.

It is equivalent to completing a 'deal' with yourself.

Although Lu Chen was able to obtain part of the Great Dao of the Dragon in this process.

But he will also become his own 'slave'.

Life and death are in your own hands.

After all, the so-called Fallen Dragon Lake is essentially just a "blood pool" formed by his corpse.

The fisherman on the shore is his true soul.

For them, the external appearance of the body is certainly important.

But it is far less important than the true spirit.

The external appearance was injured by the Black Lotus Buddha Mother, and his path bore traces of the Buddha Mother's path, which was like a curse.

He couldn't eliminate it by himself.

Therefore, Jiao Ao Chi had to abandon this physical body.

As for the 'bait' thrown in there.

In essence, they are all scapegoats used to help him offset the power of the Buddha Mother Avenue.

As long as he had enough scapegoats, he would be able to gradually wear off the curse cast by the Buddha on him and regain his freedom.

And after such a long time.

He is not far from success.

Therefore, even if Lu Chen knew the truth.

Although Jiao Ao Chi was surprised, he was just surprised.

Because even if all he had on the shore was a wisp of true spirit.

But the true spirit of a person is not comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator.

Half a step, this is Jiao Ao Chi’s current cultivation level.

And all the strength he could muster.

With such a level of cultivation, let alone Lu Chen being just a mountain master.

Even if he is the master of a mountain, he will not pose any threat to him.

Absolute strength brings absolute confidence.

Looking at Lu Chen who was holding the white fairy sword.

Jiao Ao Chi said nonchalantly: "Boy, even if you know all this, it doesn't matter. You either get out now, or make a deal with me like everyone else."

"Besides that, do you still want to fight with me?"

Jiao Ao Chi's tone was full of contempt.

That comes from the pride of the people.

After all, in their eyes, those below them... are just ants.

However, as the magic sword in Lu Chen's hand emitted hot flames, the smile on Jiao's face gradually became ugly.

Because he felt threatened by the flames! "Under normal circumstances, I really can't pose a threat to you who are half-powered."

"After all, the only people who can really hurt you are usually people like you."

"And I just happen to have something in my hand that was given to me by someone else."

As he spoke, Lu Chen raised the sword of immortality in his hand.

I saw that the Yangming Earth Fire on the Changsheng Sword was becoming more and more vigorous.

The scorching flames condensed into a huge shadow in mid-air.

The phantom was wearing armor, with an iron mask covering his head, holding a pair of gilded hammers with phoenix wings. His body was as big as a mountain and his eyes were invincible.

There was also a raging fire alternating between his breath.

It's like a fire god descending into the world.

Upon seeing this flaming phantom, Jiao Ao Chi could no longer remain calm.

Because he clearly felt that this flaming phantom was an existence of the same level as him.

Although the opponent was just a wisp of true spirit fire residing in the sword.

But he is also just a half-crippled and dissatisfied remnant of a true spirit.

Behind this kid, there are other immortals helping him! In an instant, Jiao Ao Chi understood what Lu Chen's confidence was.

And he was right.

The immortal spirits that reside in the Sword of Immortality are Lu Chen’s biggest trump card now.

It was also his biggest gain after leaving the Jiuyao Tiandu Holy Place.

The true identity of this flame immortal is the Fire Star Lord in the Jiuyao Tiandu.
