Chapter 139: Son of the Plane
Although Huo Qinghuang planned to leave Changbai Mountain, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he prepared to pick the red ganoderma that he saw at the first time before leaving.
After so many days, the red ganoderma should have reached its prime, waiting for her to pick it.
Although they didn't have to look for medicinal herbs on the way back, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel on. With the presence of a few mortals like Mao Gougou, they couldn't go very fast.
Just as Huo Qinghuang led everyone to rush towards Tianchi, one day, the sky above Tianchi was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and streaks of lightning streaked across the sky, as if the Milky Way was hanging upside down.
Boom boom...
A series of earth-shattering noises exploded in the sky, thunder and lightning flashed, and the rumbling sounds could be heard hundreds of miles away.
Huo Qinghuang stopped and looked up at the sky.
Above the Tianchi Lake, in the dark clouds, a golden dragon's tail was looming. Under the baptism of thunder and lightning, its scales were shining and emitting a dazzling light.
"What the hell! Is that a dragon?!"
The hairy dog's eyes were wide open and his gaze was dull.
"Oh my god, it's a dragon, it's really a dragon!"
The others also opened their mouths wide, their faces full of disbelief, and their legs couldn't help but go weak.
Huang Mingzhu was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Huo Qinghuang.
"What are you afraid of? It's just thunder."
Huo Qinghuang glanced at her indifferently.
"Thunder? Master Huo, I'm not well-educated, don't make fun of me, that's a dragon!"
Huang Mingzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale, her body trembled, and she almost collapsed.
“Hiss!”
Completely different from the fear of Mao Gougou and others, Mang Shisan and Chang Ba were very excited.
The snake and the python looked up at the sky together, with envy and desire unconcealable in their eyes.
That's a real dragon!
Even though they have never seen a real dragon, the pressure coming from their blood tells them that this is the direction they should strive for and the end point they will fight for their whole lives!
At this moment, they truly felt the powerful pressure emanating from the real dragon.
This kind of pressure is both a deterrent and a temptation to them.
They long to become stronger and possess the power as great as a real dragon.
Huo Qinghuang looked at the reactions of Mang Shisan and Chang Ba and thought to himself, as expected.
No python can resist the temptation of transforming into a dragon, and once the short-tailed dragon has survived the catastrophe, it will be thrown over to cause trouble for him.
She thought secretly, with a sly smile on her lips.
As for the possibility that Ao Jiu would fail in his tribulation, she had never thought about it.
After all, he is a true dragon born from the last dragon vein in this world and can be called the son of the plane. How could Heaven let him fail in his tribulation?
Even though he is covered in blood now, it is actually just a lot of noise but little action. To Ao Jiu, this injury is not worth mentioning at all.
Huo Qinghuang curled her lips and led everyone to continue walking towards Tianchi.
Mao Gougou and others felt their legs go weak as they looked at the dragon's tail winding in the dark clouds. They were curious and frightened at the same time, and their steps became heavier.
However, Mang Shisan and Chang Ba seemed to be injected with infinite power. They excitedly spit out their tongues and quickened their pace.
At this time, the thunder and lightning above Tianchi became more and more violent, as if it was going to tear the entire sky apart.
The silhouette of the golden dragon was looming in the dark clouds, sometimes tumbling, sometimes circling, and each movement was accompanied by flashes of lightning, appearing mysterious and powerful.
Ao Jiu was not as relaxed as Huo Qinghuang had imagined. He was in great pain all over, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
This is the test he must go through to be reborn. Only by successfully overcoming the heavenly tribulation can his dragon soul truly merge with his physical body and completely eliminate hidden dangers.
You can only succeed, not fail!
The commotion was quite loud. All the little demons with a little intelligence in the entire Changbai Mountain were frightened by the thunder and trembled in fear. They hid in their caves and dared not come out, for fear that they would be targeted by the heavenly calamity as soon as they showed their heads.
After all, the saying that one cannot become a spirit after the founding of a country is the golden words of the founding sage, and it is no joke.
However, these words pose no threat at all to the monsters that had already become spirits before the founding of the country.
Master Hu San and others walked out of their respective territories and looked up at the void. When their eyes fell on Ao Jiu who was undergoing a tribulation, they were shocked beyond words.
"The true dragon has indeed been born. No wonder I sensed that the true dragon's aura had already left the dragon vein. So that's it!"
Master Hu San muttered to himself, looking extremely excited.
Master Chang San was even more unbearable. He was shaking with excitement and his true form was revealed. It was a dragon snake that was more than 20 meters long, with two horns on its head, a pitch-black body, and eerie scales.
"This, this is a real dragon! All the people listen to my order, rush to Tianchi together, our Chang family's opportunity has arrived!"
Master Chang San stared into the void, his eyes full of fanaticism.
If the real dragon fails to survive the tribulation, they will be able to take advantage and absorb dragon blood to evolve.
If the real dragon can successfully overcome the tribulation, that would be even better. They can just join its ranks and seek protection.
This is an opportunity that many snakes have been longing for, and we must not miss it!
…
As for Huo Qinghuang and his group, the closer they got to the Tianchi Lake, the heavier the pressure of the thunder tribulation became.
Mao Gougou and others felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests, and every step they took was extremely difficult.
Huang Mingzhu had a sad face and pulled Huo Qinghuang's clothes and begged, "Master Huo, let's not go. This thunder tribulation is too scary. I feel like my life will end at any time."
Huo Qinghuang glanced at them calmly and said, "If you are afraid, go down the mountain on your own. Remember not to spread this matter."
Hearing this, Mao Gougou and the others hesitated for a while, and finally completely ignored Huang Mingzhu's pleading and expressed their desire to observe the scene of the real dragon transcending the tribulation up close.
Mang Shisan and Chang Ba ignored all this. The scales on their bodies trembled slightly with excitement, and their eyes flashed with fanaticism.
Chang Ba said, "If we can grasp this opportunity today, our journey to becoming a dragon may be much smoother in the future."
Mang Shisan also nodded.
They sped up and soon left Mao Gougou and the others behind for some distance.
Above the Tianchi Lake, Ao Jiu was struggling to hold on.
Every time lightning struck, it seemed to rip his soul from his body.
His dragon scales were damaged in many places, and golden blood oozed out, dripping into the Tianchi Lake, dyeing the water red.
But the spirit of not admitting defeat in his heart grew stronger, and the reluctance of his fall in his previous life kept echoing in his mind, "In this life, I must return to the top and fight my way back to the True Dragon World!"
As the heavenly tribulation entered its white-hot stage, the entire Changbai Mountain seemed to come alive, all things began to revive, and traces of spiritual energy rose from the dragon veins and madly gathered towards Ao Jiu.
In an instant, some spiritual plants that usually grow slowly began to sprout and bloom at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This strange scene immediately stunned Mr. Hu San and others.
"Spiritual energy! Am I really not seeing things?"
"The dragon and the phoenix appear, and all things are restored. Is this, is this the beginning of the revival of spiritual energy?"
"Haha, we have been hiding for hundreds of years and finally waited for this moment!"
Master Chang San and the other immortals could no longer maintain their composure and started shouting excitedly.
"Don't be happy too soon. This is just the remaining spiritual energy in the dragon vein. The great changes in the world have not yet come. We still need to lie dormant."
At this moment, Master Hu San took a deep breath and said solemnly.
