Chapter 631: A dragon was born?
No one was in a hurry to continue their journey. After eating and drinking their fill, they dispersed to stroll around the neighborhood or meditate.
Zhong Ran and the others gained a lot of benefits on Thunder Mountain. After they came out, they were busy escaping. Only now did they have time to meditate and cultivate, and familiarize themselves with their newly promoted power.
Yun Tianyu and other young people accompanied Asheng on a hunting trip because they discovered that although these wild beasts were not high-level magical beasts, their meat was quite fragrant and tender, and they even contained rich spiritual energy, which was quite amazing.
Finally, according to Mr. Fang and his colleagues, the reason is that this area has always been free from pollution and cutthroat competition, allowing the animals to grow up carefree, which results in different meat quality.
This explanation is somewhat far-fetched, yet it does explain why these animals taste good.
Such a vast grassland is more suitable for them to practice teleportation and tear through the void at will, and it is also more convenient for them to practice supernatural powers.
With guidance from Fang Lao and others, and their mutual exchange of experiences, they made rapid progress.
Zhong Ran didn't actually know what level of cultivation she had achieved on Thunder Mountain, since she had been cultivating all along and was buried after advancing in rank.
After bursting out from under Thunder Mountain, he had been on the run and had no time to assess his situation.
Only then did she look inward and discover that the golden dragon in her dantian seemed different.
Her golden dragon used to have some light purple hue, but it had no eyes or spirit. When it encountered those eyes, it had let out a dragon's roar, but then it stopped responding.
But now, it has eyes, as if it has come to life.
She moved her consciousness closer, and the purple-gold dragon was still circling around her, acting affectionately, like a pet she kept.
"Little Ding, what's going on?" Zhong Ran tried to communicate with it, but it didn't know how, so she had to ask Little Ding.
Since the day Xiao Ding caused Thunder Mountain to collapse, he has been hiding and has not made a sound since.
When Zhong Ran called it, it said, "I have captured the remnant soul of the Purple Dragon from the foot of Thunder Mountain and brought it to you."
"That remnant soul was struck by lightning ten thousand years ago, and has long lost its past memories and consciousness. Now it is like a newborn baby."
"Now, it's essentially a living purple-gold dragon, formed from the dragon energy you previously absorbed."
"However, when you cultivate in the future, it will also absorb a portion of your spiritual energy to cultivate. One day, it will also be able to cultivate its true form and become a real dragon."
"Once it possesses true form, it can detach from your body and cultivate independently."
"In the future, if you encounter a powerful enemy that you can't defeat, you can summon it to fight for you."
"Also, if you want to control beasts in the future, you only need to release their aura, and all beasts will submit to you."
"How about that? Pretty awesome, right?"
Zhong Ran: ...
She didn't know what to say anymore.
That's really impressive. After all, once it cultivates its true form, it will be a real dragon, which is equivalent to her giving birth to a dragon.
Furthermore, her cultivation advancement was already extremely difficult, and she would have to give half of the spiritual energy she gained from cultivation to it. She... didn't know what to say.
But Xiao Ding is right. The dragon has long been a legend. If she could cultivate a dragon herself, what glory and pride that would be!
Forget it, there's no use thinking too much. Let's just take it one step at a time.
"Alright, I'll take it with me when I start cultivating."
She played with the purple-gold dragon for a while to build rapport, and then went to explore the rest of the area.
The first step is to check her blood for any extra runes.
Previously, she had condensed dark patterns and fire patterns. Now, upon closer inspection, as expected, there were also some purplish-black lightning patterns in her blood.
Moreover, these lightning patterns are more numerous than the dark and fire patterns, making them appear incredibly powerful.
She doesn't yet fully understand the benefits of these runes in her blood, nor does she know how to use them; she only knows that they are good things.
Having obtained these good things, she stopped hesitating and began to familiarize herself with cultivation.
That day, a sudden thunderstorm broke out.
Everyone was stunned. The surrounding area was a grassland with no trees. How were they going to shelter from the wind and rain?
Moreover, because it was a grassland area, the wind was particularly strong, so everyone raised their spiritual energy shields and rushed back to Zhong Ran's side.
One voice after another was still excited: "Junior Sister, what about the thunderstorm? What should we do?"
Their eyes were actually fixed on the lake and the river.
We could have fun before, but now that it's raining, we can't play anymore. Is it time to start our adventure?
Zhong Ran contacted Xiao Jin, who is on its way back.
“You can go down first. If you can’t swim or are not confident, stick close to Xiao Bei. I’ll wait a bit longer. Xiao Jin hasn’t come back yet.”
Hearing that Xiao Jin hadn't returned yet, everyone's enthusiasm waned somewhat.
"We'll all wait for it to come back before we go down together."
It looks calm down there now, but who knows what's going on underwater?
If there are some hidden formations or techniques below that could teleport them to another place and separate them from the group, it would be dangerous.
On land, they are quite powerful, but underwater, they wouldn't dare say that.
Of these people, only Huang Qiuyin and Ji Qingyun possess the water elemental root; the rest do not.
Xiao Bei is a thousand-year-old clam spirit, but even she may not be able to protect everyone. If they encounter real danger, they won't be able to use their strength underwater, which would be very dangerous.
They are still quite self-aware.
Zhong Ran didn't say anything more and waited for Xiao Jin to come back.
The rain intensified, lightning flashed, and a couple of bolts of lightning struck their location.
People like Lan Yuan, and even Elder Fang, who had never experienced the power of thunder, were quite frightened by this scene.
"You should all stay close together and share the burden of this thunderous power. Take your time to adapt; it will be beneficial for the future."
Zhong Ran smiled and comforted them, saying that everyone on the path of cultivation must eventually undergo tribulation.
After successfully transcending the tribulation, they ascended to a higher world plane.
Those who fail to transcend the tribulation either perish directly in the lightning tribulation or remain in the tribulation stage.
They are somewhere between immortals and cultivators, and their spiritual power has been transformed into semi-immortal essence.
Many cultivators try their best to resist the power of lightning when undergoing tribulation, since few bodies can withstand the power of the eighty-one lightning bolts during the final tribulation.
People like Zhong Ran, however, did the opposite, using the power of lightning to temper their bodies, which would be of great benefit to them in the future.
Many of them had consumed half a Dragon Ascension Pill, making them physically stronger than ordinary cultivators.
This lightning power is not the same as the lightning power used during tribulation; its power will not double because there are more people involved.
It would be somewhat uncomfortable for twenty people to bear the force of a single bolt of lightning, but it would still be within their tolerance range.
Upon hearing her words, everyone's eyes lit up, and they huddled together or held hands.
