Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 242: The True Dragon

Three months passed in a flash.

Inside the Fairy Cave, this season's dragon bud rice is about to ripen.

In a tall forest of dragon's beak rice, Taiyi transformed into a dragon and roamed among them.

The dragon energy naturally emanating from the body, as well as the life force of the Yi wood gathered during cultivation, all promote the rapid growth and maturation of the dragon sprout rice.

"Ang~"

Taiyi couldn't help but let out a dragon's roar.

Its voice was stirring and clear, carrying a sense of both eagerness and unease.

He has absorbed the last bit of dragon energy and is now about to shed his mortal body and transform into a true dragon, completely shedding his fish-dragon form.

[The Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon: The Divine Dragon undergoes nine transformations, nine transformations (99%)!]

Since the last attack on the Crab Spirit Tribe, Li Chunfeng has sacrificed the Crab General's body.

All the rewards obtained from the sacrifice were chosen as dragon energy to help Taiyi complete his final transformation.

Because Li Chunfeng had already reaped great benefits from this heavenly tribulation.

Not only has he reached the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, but his divine soul has also transcended life and death and begun to generate Yang energy. His divine soul pressure is comparable to that of a seventh-level cultivator.

What's even more remarkable is the change in luck value.

The amount of luck was so great that even Li, who had gained a huge advantage, felt somewhat uneasy, because it was so much that even a fool could see that something was amiss.

Later, Li Chunfeng did indeed learn from the Immortal Child that there were some secrets involved.

In short, Li has been chosen by the Spirit Realm and is favored by fate. He will surely have to repay a debt of karma in the future.

This is partly due to the fact that the Spirit Realm is "spending money to save itself."

This world is cultivating saviors, creating one chosen one after another, hoping they can survive the death and find a way to live.

But he accepted the benefits, and the cause and effect had already been formed; he couldn't escape it.

During this period of "favored destiny," Li Chunfeng may make rapid progress in his cultivation, successfully overcoming all difficulties and obstacles; or he may encounter many fortuitous events while training in the wild, finding innate treasures as soon as he goes out.

However, after a period of time, the chosen one will gradually return to normal, perhaps reaching a very high level of achievement, and then stagnate.

Because ordinary people simply do not have the means to suppress destiny.

Therefore, every world, every now and then, will produce many exceptional individuals who achieve astonishing feats, simply because of the favor bestowed by fate.

These "chosen ones" often reign supreme for centuries before their stories are overshadowed by those of other, more legendary "protagonists of heaven and earth."

That's the reason.

It is said that within the Celestial Court of the Earthly Realm, there is a supreme treasure that can suppress the fortune of the entire realm.

Li Chunfeng, however, had no such concerns whatsoever.

Not to mention that the incomplete jade disc can suppress one's own fortune.

Moreover, his luck value wouldn't even last until it dissipated.

The last time I deduced the Twelfth Grade Black Lotus Technique, it consumed more than 100,000 strands of Qi Luck, and the Qi Luck Pool was already almost empty.

Now that the tribulation has passed, his pool of fortune has expanded once again.

Moreover, this time the result was one that made him doubt himself.

"Ten million paths..."

It's like someone who's been poor their whole life suddenly buys a lottery ticket and wins hundreds of millions without having to pay taxes. Who wouldn't be suspicious?

"The cause and effect have become too great!"

But that's a matter for the future.

The most pressing matter is that there is a dragon turtle, possibly of the seventh or eighth rank, lurking nearby that can enhance one's strength, so of course, one must improve oneself as soon as possible.

With danger lurking everywhere, Li Chunfeng was even less likely to save his luck for having a child.

At worst, we can just slaughter more abyssal monsters.

Li Chunfeng opened the [Derivation of Laws] section.

Mortal, human, and spirit.

Yellow, Black, Earth, Heaven.

Earthly Fiends. Heavenly Generals. Gods and Demons.

The last time we deduced the 'Earthly Fiend - Star Devouring and Universe Refining Body Method', it consumed more than 100,000 strands of Qi.

This time, he continued to deduce the 'Tiangang-Devouring Star God Body Refining Method' and even the final 'Devouring Star God Magic'.

Three months have now passed.

The "Tian Gang - Star Devouring Divine Body Refining Method" has also been deduced, consuming a full one million strands of Qi.

If I had collected them slowly in the past, I don't know when I would have accumulated them.

Therefore, coming to the Spirit Realm to undergo tribulation is the right thing to do.

The subsequent "Devouring Star Magic" was an even greater drain on one's luck.

So far, more than three million strands of Qi have been consumed, but it is still not quite ready.

even so.

The Star God Body Refining Method has also allowed Li Chunfeng to touch upon another level of profound mystery.

When practicing the Star God Technique, visualization becomes more vivid, and the soul enters the chaotic starry sea, as if one has become the center of the universe.

Abundant natural resources and the power of the stars.

Previously, when absorbing the most chaotic, primordial, and ancient stellar power during the "Earthly Fiend Star Devouring and Cosmic Transformation Technique," one would experience immense pain.

Now, I can easily master the "Star God Body Refining Technique".

When Li Chunfeng was cultivating, he seemed to transform into a god larger than a planet, with his entire body surrounded by galactic vortexes.

Practicing the Star God Technique also allows one to open up all the acupoints in their body much faster.

The efficiency of condensing star cores in the body's acupoints is also incomparable.

"Devouring Stars" was originally a secret manual for the evolution of star beasts.

Now that the deduction has become a secret manual suitable for Li Chunfeng's cultivation, it is unknown whether its effectiveness has been diminished.

The results so far have already left him speechless.

Only after gaining deep insight into this power and this domineering method of cultivation did Li Chunfeng understand why the Star Beasts were able to establish such a powerful secret realm as the Star Beast Secret Realm as a burial ground.

Powerful star beasts roam freely in the chaotic starry sky and never stay in one realm for long.

That golden star lion beast that voluntarily entered the secret realm to bury its bones at the end of its life was actually still considered a weakling in the entire star beast genealogy.

More powerful star beasts, when they cultivate to a high level, need to feed on life-bearing planets, absorbing the life forms of an entire planet to aid their cultivation.

This is the truly cruel way of spiritual practice.

The practice of "Devouring Stars to Refine the Body" involves refining the acupoints.

Star nucleus → Planet → Star → Dark star → Nebula → Galaxy → Sea of ​​stars → Black hole → Origin → Universe!

Li Chunfeng hasn't even fully opened all the acupoints in his body yet.

But the more this was the case, the more he anticipated the effects of the "Star Devouring God Magic".

It should be noted that Li Chunfeng now holds a powerful treasure, but is unable to use it.

Only by achieving the Star Devouring Divine Magic can that Star Treasure be completely refined.

[The Celestial Starship: A stellar magical treasure containing twenty-seven layers of celestial restrictions! It can be refined by absorbing star power!]

a few days later.

Taiyi, who was lying coiled under the dragon bud rice tree, let out a painful cry.

Thunderclouds filled the sky, and Li Chunfeng knew the time was approaching.

With a swift turn, he had already led Taiyi away from the Immortal Cave, appearing in a Thousand Island Lake.

This place is the location of General Crab's water palace.

After Li Chunfeng conquered the tribe, the establishment of the third stargate base was completed smoothly.

To prevent the dragon turtle from attacking by water, the waterway between Qiandao Lake and Luolong River was deliberately cut off, and a huge dam hundreds of feet high was built on the waterway.

According to Zhang Jingyi's calculations, this dragon turtle is very likely a stone statue that attained enlightenment, and cannot be considered a true divine beast.

The fact that they haven't attacked for so long, nor have they come ashore, suggests that they are likely facing numerous restrictions.

This dam was built for the same reason.

So they took over the Water Palace with peace of mind.

The guards stationed near the Water Palace noticed someone approaching and immediately raised an alarm.

"It's me!" Li Chunfeng revealed himself and activated the major's sword token.

The alert was then lifted.

"My lord!" Yu Yuchen stepped forward and bowed.

Li Chunfeng saw a familiar face and smiled, "Are you on duty today?"

Yu Yuchen is a Yin God Realm cultivator at the Biyou Palace Imperial Academy. After the new base was established, he was sent here to guard this place.

"It's me and Brother Feng. What are your orders, sir?"

"You should leave this area first and evacuate everyone around. My natal demon pet is about to undergo tribulation and needs to use this place."

"Yes."

Li Chunfeng is now a true immortal, and his prestige has reached its peak since he single-handedly killed the seventh-tier sacrificial crab general.

In the desolate region, their word is law. Even those who were once at the same level now voluntarily lower their seniority and dare not consider themselves peers.

Li Chunfeng's instructions were quickly carried out, but they also alarmed the Immortal Child.

"What tribulation are you about to undergo?" came the question from the sword token.

"It is Taiyi, who is about to transform into a true dragon."

"Oh, it's that little dragon! Come quickly and fetch this old man; I want to go and see what's going on."

Helpless, Li Chunfeng casually slapped his hand, opening a spatial wormhole from which the Human Immortal Child emerged.

They immediately saw Taiyi struggling painfully in the water.

He stroked his non-existent beard on his smooth chin. "This little dragon's true dragon bloodline is quite pure. What kind of method has it inherited that allows it to enhance its true dragon essence through metamorphosis?"

The old Taoist priest showed him great care, and given the enlightened atmosphere of the Earthly Realm, Li Chunfeng had no need to hide anything from the old Taoist priest.

Inform them about the "Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Scripture".

Zhang Jingyi, being knowledgeable and experienced, immediately said, "This method is indeed profound. It reminds me of the 'True Scripture of Transforming Dragon' by the Daoist Transforming Dragon. It feels no less than the legacy of the old Daoist Transforming Dragon."

Li Chunfeng immediately became modest, "Taiyi is far from being comparable to the Lord of the Celestial Court."

The Dragon Transformation Daoist is the rotating master of the Celestial Court, and the inherited method he cultivates is the "Dragon Transformation True Scripture," which allows one to directly transform into a true dragon.

The methods of Taiyi can only be practiced by oneself; human cultivators cannot practice them.

Unless Li Chunfeng uses the "Derivation Method" to deduce it.

But there's no need for that.

The "Devouring Stars" technique is invincible, and Taiyi is his natal demon pet, so he can simply combine and transform into a demon; there's no need for him to cultivate it.

"You don't need to be modest. It is said that the Dragon Transformation Master's 'Dragon Transformation True Scripture' has thirteen levels. It is the direct transmission of gods and demons from the upper realm and is a heaven-reaching method of the water element."

"Upon reaching the highest level of cultivation, one can not only control all the waters under heaven, but also transform into a black dragon, soaring through the clouds and mist, manipulating thunder and lightning, summoning clouds and rain, and commanding wind and waves. Its power is boundless and its supernatural abilities are vast, making it almost indistinguishable from the true dragons of ancient times."

"But Taiyi has the opportunity to transform into an ancient true dragon."

This was also the first time Li Chunfeng had heard of the secrets of the Celestial Court's ruler.

He hurriedly pressed on, asking, "General, may I ask what the true lineage of gods and demons is?"

The immortal boy rolled his eyes at him, "What have you learned in Kunlun that you have to ask me about such basic knowledge?"

Mr. Li rubbed his nose awkwardly. He hadn't even attended school for a full year; he was always rushing around, so he had no time to learn these extracurricular subjects.

Despite his scolding, the old Taoist priest patiently explained to him: "In ancient times, people feared natural disasters, birth, aging, sickness, and death, so they pondered how to transcend the mundane world. Through the wisdom and experience of countless sages, they finally developed the path of cultivating immortality."

"Back then, it wasn't like it is now, where only martial arts and soul cultivation dominated the cultivation world. Instead, a hundred flowers bloomed, and all paths could be cultivated, making it a golden age of cultivation."

"Among them, according to different methods, they are further divided into four major schools. The first is the Xuanmen Taoist Qi Refining School. This school takes Taiji Five Elements, Eight Trigrams Nine Palaces, and He Luo Star Phenomena as its principles, and connects with the primordial Qi of heaven and earth as its foundation to cultivate infinite methods."

"But the path of Qi cultivation only knows how to take and doesn't know how to give back. Later, the Earthly Realm experienced several calamities of the end of Dharma, which eliminated the path of Qi cultivation."

Li Chunfeng nodded; he was aware of that.

Riding on the mist and clouds, enjoying freedom and ease.

This refers to the ancient Qi cultivators.

Throughout the myriad realms, the path of Qi cultivation remains the Great Dao.

The Xuan Tian Realm, as Li Chunfeng knew it, followed this path.

However, Han Fan did not only follow the path of Qi Refining, but also pursued the same path of cultivating all three paths simultaneously. Perhaps Han Fan was also a "chosen one of destiny".

"The second major school is the Divine Demon Body Refinement. This school aims to pursue the power of ancient gods and demons, reveres nature, does not distinguish between good and evil, acts arbitrarily and without restraint, and is also the foundation of the later demonic sect."

"The 'True Scripture of Transformation Dragon' cultivated by the old Taoist is also a divine and demonic body-refining school, and Taiyi's 'Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Scripture' should also belong to the divine and demonic body-refining school."

"Strictly speaking, the black dragon form that emerges from cultivating the Dragon Transformation Scripture to its ultimate level is not as powerful as a true god or demon. However, there are no true gods or demons in the world, and the Dragon Transformation Scripture is a first-rate method to reach the heavens. Just like the old Taoist of Dragon Transformation, who was exceptionally gifted and cultivated to the great perfection, he was rarely matched among cultivators of the same level."

"The first few levels of the 'Dragon Transformation Scripture' can be found in the National Library. However, this method of reaching the heavens has extremely harsh conditions for cultivation. It requires the bloodline of a true dragon, and the cultivation is also very difficult. If one does not have a courageous and diligent heart, and does not forge ahead without the slightest fear, one will often stagnate and not make any progress even after decades or hundreds of years of hard work."

"So many geniuses in the Earthly Realm who possess the bloodline of true dragons have tried to cultivate this method, yet none of them have achieved the level of the Dragon Transformation Daoist. If you are interested, you can also take a look."

Li Chunfeng simply nodded. "What about the other two major schools?"

"The rest are the Buddhist sects of the Great Zen Temple lineage. The Buddhist sect cultivates the physical body, which is the treasure trove for saving the world. It does not need to be sought from outside and naturally possesses a treasure containing endless energy. Later, they also cultivated the soul and split into two major sects... The Great Zen Temple is a bit complicated. You can learn about it yourself if you are interested."

Old Master Zhang seemed to have some reservations about the Great Zen Temple's lineage and was unwilling to elaborate. "The last lineage is the Hundred Schools of Thought that inherited the legacy of the ancient golden age of cultivation, a time of great diversity and flourishing. It is also known as the unorthodox school. Its cultivation methods are numerous and extremely ingenious. With the development of technology in the Earthly Realm, the unorthodox school has also risen. The Primordial Spirit Warship is a product of the unorthodox school."

Li Chunfeng suddenly realized.

As the two communicated, Taiyi's evolution reached a critical moment.

The clouds gathered in the sky, growing thicker and thicker.

Li Chunfeng observed for a while, but then felt relieved.

It's far inferior to his Void Realm Tribulation.

His aura was connected to Taiyi's, or perhaps he had previously overcome the tribulation of the Void Realm, which made Taiyi's Dragon Transformation Tribulation less powerful.

...In the end, it's a good thing.

Li Chunfeng still dared not be negligent and prepared everything Taiyi needed for his tribulation.

At crucial moments, he can also combine with Taiyi to help him overcome his tribulation.

Let him bear it for now. How can a child grow if he doesn't experience challenges?

Before long, the wind and clouds gathered, and the tribulation lightning finally struck.

Crimson lightning bolts struck Taiyi, who roared to the sky. He imitated Li Chunfeng's tribulation, transforming into a true dragon and dancing wildly in the tribulation clouds. Occasionally, he would even swallow the lightning bolts to aid his final transformation.

Li Chunfeng watched with a pounding heart, thinking, "That brat, he only learns bad things and never good ones. I'll definitely teach him a lesson later."

Until the last bolt of lightning struck.

"hold head high--"

The clear, resonant roar of the dragon shook the entire world.

From this day forward, the world will have one more true dragon.
