Chapter 168 Awakening the True Dragon Bloodline

Cancer Islands, round the island.

The spiritual energy vortex formed in the sky attracted the attention of all the monks. Everyone looked at the spiritual energy vortex in the sky with envy and amazement in their eyes.

Envious of Shi Yuwei's favor from the True Lord and marveled at her talent and understanding, all the cultivators in the Cancer Islands knew who was responsible for this breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

The legendary experience of Shi Yuwei had long been spread. Shi Yuwei had gone from being a sacrifice to a great demon to now beginning to challenge the golden elixir and move towards the realm of a golden elixir real person. This experience was nothing short of legendary.

"It looks like it's done."

Gu Mo looked at Shi Yuwei in the distance, whose aura had officially entered the Golden Core realm, and nodded with satisfaction. He was not surprised that Shi Yuwei could condense the Golden Core. In addition to Shi Yuwei's own talent and understanding, Gu Mo had given Shi Yuwei a lot of resources for cultivation.

Especially the resources for elixirs, which were provided in full. Moreover, Gu Mo also used the perfect-level cleansing technique to help Shi Yuwei eliminate the mild elixir poisoning caused by taking the elixir, allowing her to use the elixir without scruples to improve her cultivation without affecting her foundation.

With an adequate supply of elixirs, Shi Yuwei built up a solid foundation. Later, with the addition of the Golden Pill given by Gu Mo, Shi Yuwei's ability to condense the Golden Pill was not foolproof, but at least it was a sure thing.

"It seems that another Jindan Zhenren will be born in the Cancer Islands!" As the spiritual energy vortex in the sky slowly converged, everyone knew that another Jindan Zhenren was born in the Cancer Islands.

"Ok?"

But before everyone could finish their sighs, suddenly, the vortex of spiritual energy that had dissipated in the sky appeared again, and this time it was even larger than the previous one.

"There are still people who want to break through to the Golden Core!"

Upon seeing this, the monks from the Cancer Islands were stunned at first, then they realized that the spiritual energy vortex that appeared at this moment had a completely different aura from before.

This means that on the island, there are two cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building and are trying to reach the golden elixir realm.

Everyone already knew that the first person was Shi Yuwei, but no one knew who the second one was. Moreover, the breakthrough of the second one was louder than that of Shi Yuwei.

This shows that the second cultivator who broke through has a foundation far beyond Shi Yuwei.

However, after experiencing the shock of Gu Mo's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage and the terrifying spiritual energy vortex that enveloped half of the Cancer Islands, the cultivators of the Cancer Islands obviously had developed considerable resistance to the spiritual energy vortex that was far beyond that formed by the breakthrough of ordinary cultivators.

After all, that was Zhenjun's temple, and it didn't seem strange that Zhenjun had several outstanding disciples who were unknown to the public.

However, the calmness of the crowd only lasted for a moment, and was completely shattered as a dragon shadow appeared faintly in the vortex of spiritual energy.

"Oh my god, what is that!"

Everyone looked at the dragon shadow in the vortex of spiritual energy with shock in their eyes, because it was not just a simple dragon shadow, but also exuded a faint sense of oppression.

"It's not that a cultivator has made a breakthrough, it's that a spiritual beast with the blood of a true dragon has made a breakthrough." A cultivator with more knowledge spoke up.

It is obviously not a demon beast that can break through in Zhenjun's Dojo, but a spiritual beast raised by Zhenjun. Many people have heard of this, because someone has seen a big golden koi often appearing in Zhenjun's Dojo.

Indeed, the one who was breaking through at this moment was Gu Mo's pet Xiaoli. After so many years, Xiaoli had already reached the peak of level 2.

After Shi Yuwei successfully broke through, Xiaoli also chose to break through at Gu Mo's instruction.

Shi Yuwei successfully entered the Golden Core realm, so Gu Mo also had to prepare to leave for Shennong Valley. Before that, Gu Mo also wanted Xiaoli to break through the realm first.

Breaking through here is obviously safer than breaking through in the sea. Moreover, after Xiaoli becomes a level 3 great demon, it will also help Gu Mo to cross the sea.

No matter whether it is a demon beast or a spirit beast, after becoming a Level 3 great demon, there is a chance that it will master an ability, which is the ability to change its body size.

Gu Mo planned to ride on Xiaoli to cross the sea, which would definitely be less tiring than flying by himself.

However, Gu Mo did not expect that when Xiaoli broke through the third level, the true dragon blood began to awaken in his body. Although, Gu Mo had expected this. After all, after feeding Xiaoli so much sun essence, Xiaoli had already embarked on a completely different path from other koi spirit beasts.

Gu Mo guessed that Xiaoli would be able to awaken the blood of a true dragon one day, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon.

Of course, there is still a long way to go between awakening the true dragon bloodline and fully transforming into a dragon, but the awakening of the true dragon bloodline will be an enormous improvement for Xiaoli.

A true dragon is a legendary beast, comparable to an immortal.

And at the moment when Xiaoli awakened the true dragon bloodline, breaking through the 3rd level demon was no longer a problem for Xiaoli. All he had to do now was to wait quietly.

By the way, keep an eye out outside the Cancer Islands to see if any demon king will be attracted by the aura of true dragon blood emitted by Xiaoli. True dragon blood is absolutely full of fatal attraction to sirens, especially those sirens who also have true dragon blood but have not been able to awaken.

"It really does!"

Suddenly, Gu Mo looked into the distance. He could feel a pair of eyes staring at the Cancer Islands. It was definitely a demon king.

But the other party did not come closer. After all, Gu Mo had just killed the Dragon Demon King a few years ago. The demon king in the distance should be weaker than the Dragon Demon King. Even the Dragon Demon King died in the Cancer Islands. This demon king with weaker strength naturally did not have the courage to come over.

Finally, the demon king chose to retreat.

Although the aura in the Cancer Islands is tempting, one must be alive to get it. Moreover, the demon king sensed that another more powerful demon king's aura was approaching.

"Well, and..."

Gu Mo also sensed another more powerful aura of the demon king, and this aura actually seemed a little familiar to him.

"It's the dragon blood kelp!"

Suddenly, Gu Mo thought of the owner of this breath, who was one of the culprits who led him to this sea area.

Dragon Blood Kelp, obviously, is a sea monster that contains dragon blood, and the opponent should have awakened the dragon blood in his body. And this kind of sea monster is definitely the strongest in the same level, and Gu Mo can't deal with this kind of monster king now.

After thinking about it, Gu Mo's figure turned into a gust of wind and disappeared. A moment later, the dragon blood kelp suddenly stopped heading towards the Cancer Islands, then quickly turned around and headed towards somewhere.

Because the dragon blood kelp felt that the thing that made it desire several years ago was also the thing that it had been searching for for several years but had disappeared without a trace.

Now that thing suddenly appeared, how could Dragon Blood Kelp not be surprised? Without any hesitation, Dragon Blood Kelp went directly to the direction of the thing it sensed.

"Huh~~Finally got it out of the way!"

After a while, Gu Mo returned to the Cancer Islands. After discovering that the dragon blood kelp was targeting the Cancer Islands, Gu Mo used the essence of the sun to lead the dragon blood kelp away.

Back then, Gu Mo used the essence of the sun to attract the dragon blood kelp, and finally had a fierce battle with the Yuanying Zhenjun of Fenghua Sect, allowing Gu Mo to escape successfully.

"It's over." At this time, Gu Mo also felt that the vortex of spiritual energy in the sky disappeared, and Xiaoli's promotion was successfully completed.

Back to the roundabout, a golden figure with brilliant brilliance rushed in front of Gu Mo, and then a crisp voice came, "Master, Master, look."

Along with the crisp sound, a big golden koi appeared in front of Gu Mo, spit out a golden demon pill and showed it to Gu Mo.

"Not bad!"

Gu Mo touched Xiaoli's fish head. After becoming a level 3 monster, Xiaoli could already speak. When he was level 2, Xiaoli's intelligence was already very high. Now that he had become a level 3 monster, he learned to speak directly.

In addition, the demon pill that Xiaoli showed had a dragon pattern on it, and it also exuded a faint dragon power.

Rather than being a demon pill, this is more like a dragon ball.

It is no exaggeration to say that this dragon ball is the most critical step for Xiaoli to transform into a real dragon. Other monsters containing dragon blood, even if they awaken the real dragon blood in their bodies, can at most transform their bodies into the appearance of real dragons, such as growing dragon horns on their heads or something.

Although Xiaoli did not have any dragon horns, he was able to directly condense the core of a real dragon, the dragon ball.

"Whee!"

After receiving Gu Mo's praise, Xiaoli happily moved closer to Gu Mo. Seeing this, Gu Mo reached out and held the fish head, asking Xiaoli if there were any other changes after the breakthrough.

"Variety?"

Xiaoli thought hard for a while, then his body began to shrink. Soon, Xiaoli turned into a palm-sized koi and happily crawled into Gu Mo's sleeve.

Seeing this, Gu Mo smiled. As expected, Xiaoli had successfully mastered the ability to change size, and now he had a mount.

In addition, after Xiaoli entered the third level, he also mastered a natural magical power, the power to control clouds and rain.

That’s right, it’s a magical power, not a spell. This should be the ability that Xiaoli gained from his bloodline after awakening the true dragon bloodline. Controlling the clouds and rain is also the ability of the true dragon in the legend.

This magical power is not a killing power, but more like a magical version of the Small Cloud Rain Technique. The spiritual rain that falls with the help of moving clouds and rain not only contains rich spiritual energy, but also contains some indescribable things. These things will be of great benefit to the growth of spiritual plants.

This made Gu Mo wonder whether Lingnong's five exclusive spells also had corresponding magical versions.

Gu Mo felt that this speculation should be answered by going to Shennong Valley. After all, that was the strongest sect of spiritual plant masters, and it was also a sect that retained the Shennong heritage, so it must have relevant information.

Gu Mo took out a few portions of level 3 solar essence and sent Xiaoli to consolidate his cultivation, then called Shi Yuwei over.

"senior!"

After becoming a Jindan Zhenren, Shi Yuwei's temperament also underwent a huge change, but at this moment, there was no joy of becoming a Jindan Zhenren on Shi Yuwei's face.

Because she knew very well that the moment she stepped onto the Golden Elixir, that would be the moment when Gu Mo left.

Shi Yuwei once thought about deliberately slowing down her practice so that Gu Mo could stay longer, but in the end Shi Yuwei did not do so. Instead, she tried her best to practice because she did not want to disappoint Gu Mo.

"I'll leave this place to you." Gu Mo touched Shi Yuwei's head and comforted her, "Practice well. As long as you are alive, you will see her again."

"Ok!"

Shi Yuwei bit her lip and nodded heavily.

Afterwards, Gu Mo gave Shi Yuwei two level 3 top-grade cherry bombs as her life-saving items. In addition, he also told Shi Yuwei about the control over the formation surrounding the island and the effects of the plants he left behind.

Gu Mo didn't leave many plants behind, but they were all of the top-grade level 3. In addition, he also left behind the Nut Array. He was already familiar with the arrangement of the Nut Array and could easily arrange it even without an array plate. Therefore, he did not take the Nut Array away.

He had already accumulated a lot of nuts in the black fog space, and as long as he found a suitable spiritual field, he could rearrange them.

With the quasi-4th-level Cloud and Mist Illusion Array and Nut Array, plus the top-grade 3rd-level Pea Shooter, Potato Mine and Cherry Bomb, Shi Yuwei can block it even if a demon king attacks.

When everything was explained, Gu Mo hid the shrunken carp in his sleeve, and then his figure turned into a breeze and disappeared, leaving the Cancer Islands without anyone knowing.

……

In the boundless sea, a golden koi as big as a small boat was galloping on the sea, and on the back of the golden koi was sitting a young man.

"Xiao Li, go over there!"

The young man was holding a map and directing the koi fish under him.

"Good host!"

Hearing this, the big koi made a clear and pleasant sound, and then galloped away in the direction the young man pointed.

This young man and the big koi were Gu Mo and Xiao Li who had left the Cancer Islands.

Gu Mo is going to Shennong Valley. First he has to reach the immortal world where Shennong Valley is located. Before that, Gu Mo has to cross the endless ocean.

But Gu Mo did not choose to cross the ocean directly because it was too dangerous. There were not only 4th-level demon kings in the sea, but it was said that there were also 5th-level demon kings in the deep sea.

In addition, the harsh environment of the sea is also very dangerous. The Jindan realm can only barely withstand it. If encountering some extreme situations, even a Jindan Zhenren will be in danger of his life. If you are unlucky and enter some dangerous places in the sea, that would be a real big trouble.

Therefore, Gu Mo is now looking for the safe route marked on Qi Chunde's wooden sign. He will first find the safe route, and then Gu Mo will follow the safe route to Shennong Valley.

Those safe routes have been discovered through years of exploration by countless monks. They exclude the demon king's territories, various dangerous places, and extreme environments.

Although this route is a little roundabout and not as fast as a direct crossing, it is safer. If you are lucky enough to encounter a merchant ship on the way and be able to take a ride on it, that would be the best.

A few months later.

Gu Mo finally saw the location marked on the map, which meant that he had found a safe route. All he had to do next was follow that route.

However, before that, Gu Mo planned to take a break. After all, after months of continuous travel, both Gu Mo and Xiao Li felt tired. Thanks to Xiao Li's awakening of the true dragon bloodline, Xiao Li could continuously absorb the spiritual power of the sea to replenish himself.

If it were any other spirit beast, it would not be able to hold on for so long.

It’s just the place chosen by Gu Mo for rest. It’s surrounded by the vast ocean and there are no islands. It doesn’t seem like a good place for rest, but for Gu Mo, this is not a problem at all.
