The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 137 Changes
Immediately, three beams of light rose from the mountaintops in different directions and headed straight for Linggui Peak. In addition to wanting to observe this thunder tribulation of ascension to immortality up close, perhaps there were other little thoughts. Only one in a hundred people in history could survive the tribulation, and those who could still survive the thunder after the thunder tribulation was over must be rare and good things. The legacy left by a peak Yuanshen master was enough to support a feast.

But such a choice will inevitably come at a price.

If after the heavenly thunder, one is reborn after being struck by thunder, then naturally it is also the time for reckoning.

Based on this, more auras chose not to move and retreated into the mountains. The formation was running at full capacity, but they did not forget to keep their divine thoughts watching from afar.

In this way, although you have done nothing, you have also made no mistakes.

In addition to these two, there were two more beams of light rising from the top of the mountain and fleeing far away. This was a more cautious choice, avoiding the limelight for a while. The foundation was there, controlled by the divine seal, and no one could seize it for the time being. If the one under the thunder tribulation ultimately failed, he would just have to run for a while. If he succeeded and wanted to unify the mountain, he would have escaped.

Although they have been neighbors for many years and have some understanding of each other's personalities, no one can say for sure how much the monster will change after becoming an immortal and gaining new powers. Although the possibility is extremely small, it is always better to be cautious.

……

Outside the group of monsters.

The main peak of Qingcheng is the place with the most spiritual energy.

In the ancestral hall, a figure who was in retreat felt the changes in the world, opened his eyes all of a sudden, and disappeared on the cushion in a flash.

The next moment, at the top of the Zhengyi Mountain Gate, the figure suddenly appeared again.

He had a gaunt appearance, very long ears, and wore a simple gray Taoist robe. His eyes seemed to have experienced all the vicissitudes of life, and they were deep and distant.

brush!brush!
brush!brush!
A few breaths later, more figures appeared at the gate of Zhengyi Dao Mountain, a total of thirteen people, all of whom had cultivation above the level of Yuanshen. They stopped behind the figure, and their positions were also several feet lower. One of the old men with a white beard was standing slightly higher. He looked exactly the opposite of that man, white and fat, with a body of fat wrapped in silk, and a jade hairpin on his head. Even with the white beard as a backdrop, his fat face was smooth and rosy. The whisk in his hand was woven with gold thread, and he was dressed extremely luxuriously.

"Senior brother."

The white-bearded old man bowed slightly and called out to the gaunt figure.

"Uncle, Master"

The souls behind the white-bearded old man bent even deeper and saluted the figure.

"Senior brother."

The gaunt figure had a complicated and dazed look on his face, and he spoke to the white-bearded old man.

"Brother, please don't address me like that. As the saying goes, the one who achieves is first. Although I was accepted as Master's disciple before you, you have now achieved the immortal realm and realized the truth, while I am still trapped in the Yuanshen realm. After Master ascended to heaven, the Zhengyi Mountain Sect will rely on you. Brother, please don't address me like that in the future, so as not to disrupt the order of the mountain sect."

The white-bearded old man said seriously.

"The thunder tribulation has fallen. If it succeeds, it will become another demon king. It seems that I have to rely on senior brother to take action this time." The white-bearded old man said again.

"How can I allow others to sleep on my bed? This demon has some aura, maybe it can work. If he knows what's good for him, he can retreat on his own. Otherwise, I don't mind letting my Zhengyi Mountain Gate have another guardian deity." The thin figure said, and after a pause, he looked at the white-bearded old man, "Master... you can go with me. This thunder tribulation is different from the previous ones. I can see... maybe I can help you break through the bottleneck and join the immortal class."

"I appreciate your kindness, brother." The white-bearded old man shook his head. "But I know myself. After so many years, I have not been able to achieve anything. I have already lost my spirit. In addition, I was seriously injured and my life span is almost over. It is impossible for me to achieve it in this lifetime. You should take these boys with you. They are the future. Besides, we can't go out in full force. This mountain gate needs someone to guard it." The white-bearded old man smiled bitterly. "My old bones are just right."

"..."

The thin figure had a complicated look in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but finally sighed softly and said nothing more.

"All disciples, listen up and follow me... to slay the monster!"

The next moment, his expression turned solemn, and as soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the mountain gate, followed by twelve beams of light. In a blink of an eye, the white-bearded old man was the only one left in the bustling mountain gate.

"Master."

The white-bearded old man looked down at the brocade on his body, then touched his smooth fat face, raised his head to look up at the sky, his eyes were empty, and it was hard to tell what emotion was on his face. He recalled the past scenes, and the scenes of his youth.

"Master, I am the most respected person in Shu. I have the protection of my master above me and the support of my disciples below me. How glorious it is! I am competing for the top spot in the immortal road... Is there any successful person who is willing to be the master? I have a life of glory, but in fact... I am just a loser..."

"Ugh!"

A long sigh.

……

Snake entwined peak.

Summer goes and spring comes, and it's summer again.

The blood in the small lake had been silent for a year, but it was still bright and juicy. Except for the color of the water being different from before, everything seemed to have returned to normal.

calm.

Just like the hibernation of snakes when they shed their skin, the temporary calmness is for more vigorous growth in the future.

In the blood cocoon at the bottom of the lake, Ding Lin regained consciousness. A trace of thought was placed in the divine seal, which could immediately transmit information if there was any disturbance. This allowed him to sleep peacefully. The blood flowed in and out of his body, subtly changing the appearance of his body.

Lengthen, widen...

After a year, it is finally time for the butterfly to emerge from its cocoon.

The sealed and silent heart began to beat again, and the reality slowly trembled, becoming more and more powerful. Finally, "BOOM BOOM BOOM" sounded like beating a drum, and the sleeping consciousness was awakened. Ding Lin was alert, and the loose scales on his body tightened in an instant. He was on guard and nervous for a moment, and then he remembered that he was transforming into a dragon. So, waking up now... was he successful?
The spiritual consciousness subconsciously probed outward.

He was stunned again. When he first entered the Yuanshen realm, his consciousness could only cover a radius of 100 miles. Later, after he entrusted the Earth Soul with the remaining leaves of the Precious Lotus Lantern, his consciousness expanded to 150 miles. Now, without much effort, he could easily cover the entire mountain. You know, although the Shechan Peak is not big, it has a radius of 70 to 80 miles. He quickly tried to expand his consciousness to the limit. 100 miles, 200 miles...

It was only after reaching three hundred and twenty miles that it finally became unreachable.

It has expanded more than twice as large.

The spiritual consciousness was taken back again.

From nearby, the entire peak is in sight.

Then, Ding Lin saw that the White Snake was still meditating with her eyes closed as usual. The Green Snake was lighting a bonfire on the mountainside and roasting a pheasant on bamboo until it was golden brown and oozing with oil. In the tree house, the Five Fairies were sitting cross-legged. They looked much better and had a faint aura around them. It was obvious that their injuries had healed. The Magpie Fairy was standing not far behind her, like a maid.

Ding Lin's expression remained unchanged. His heart beat more and more vigorously in his chest. After his consciousness was awakened, his dormant strength was also awakened. He turned his head and saw that his original fins had turned into sharp claws. As his strength recovered, his joints felt numb. He couldn't help but hold the blood cocoon and exerted force. Then, with a "swish", it was much easier than he had imagined. The blood cocoon was torn apart very easily.

The blood in the lake began to boil again at some point, gurgling as if it was boiling. A layer of blood-colored steam rose from the surface of the lake, filling the air with mist.

"Yan!"

Ding Lin felt his whole body burning hot. He could not help but let out a long howl. Then with a "bang", he violently tore the blood cocoon apart. His body could not wait to rise into the air. Without any movement, he soared high. Blood clouds gathered spontaneously and swirled around his body.

Yun Conglong.

The Jiao is the inferior of the dragon.

Naturally, he gained some magical power to control water.

The dragon's roar was heard everywhere, awakening the white snake that was practicing, the fifth princess who was healing, and the green snake that was being barbecued halfway up the mountain.

The White Snake and the five fairies suddenly opened their eyes and rushed out of the cave and the tree house.

Halfway up the mountain, the green snake first turned her head to look towards the top of the mountain. Then the roasted chicken in her hand lost its taste, so she threw it away, rolled over the fire with her long tail, extinguished the flames, and rushed to the top of the mountain impatiently.

Above the small lake, a three-meter-long dragon was winding and hovering, with a single horn on its head as crystal clear as jade, and its whole body as bright red as fire. Each scale was extremely clear, and they were stacked layer by layer, outlining a smooth arc. It was slender and elegant, more surprising than the best handicrafts in the world. This was the beauty evolved from nature, a masterpiece of nature. The original golden line on its back had been completely digested and hidden, and four sharp claws protruded from its belly, with four toes, each claw was like white jade and as sharp as a knife.

The magpie fairy's eyes fell on the two short whiskers under Ding Lin's chin, and he was even more shocked. As everyone knows, the age of a dragon can be seen from its whiskers. They were so short, so the mountain master was probably only a few hundred years old.

"Success!"

The green snake finally caught up with the mountain. She grabbed the white snake, and the two snakes looked at each other, seeing envy and awe in each other's eyes. For the snakes, nothing was more tempting than turning into dragons. If they followed Ding Lin before, one was out of gratitude, and the other was because of Ding Lin's strength, then now in addition to these two reasons, there is one more, that is, awe of the dragon.

"Yan!"

Another dragon roar.

Ding Lin looked up at the sky and saw his complete dragon body. His heart was filled with emotions. He had not yet adapted to this body, but he felt that every move he made was full of strength, which was far beyond what he had experienced with the carp body before.

In the demon clan system, the Jiao corresponds to the fairyland. Of course, this does not mean that Ding Lin has the strength comparable to the fairyland after achieving the body of a Jiao. But there is no doubt that achieving it in advance will surely make his future fairyland journey much smoother.

"Suck!"

Ding Lin lowered his head and looked into the small lake again. The bright red water reflected his bloodshot eyes, and there was an inexplicable glow flashing. Then he opened his mouth and sucked hard, and countless blood threads sank into his mouth. All the evil spirits that had to be ejected due to the previous transformation into a dragon returned to his body. Half a moment later, the small lake became clear again, and the misty water beside Ding Lin also lost its blood color and turned into clean clouds.

After checking the demonic energy in his body, Ding Lin smiled with satisfaction again. The enhancement brought by the species leap was all-round, not only in spirit and body, but also in demonic energy. His original two thousand years of cultivation had more than doubled. The inner elixir of Princess Halloween was completely digested. Now his cultivation jumped to five thousand three hundred years, and he completed the second step of the practice of the soul in one step. Now, as long as he can find a suitable spiritual object, he can even try to capture the heavenly soul and take the last step of the soul.

In addition to these, what surprised Ding Lin the most was that the lotus leaf planted in his lower dantian had recovered a lot. The lotus leaf was round, and the newly grown circle around it was green. Although it was still small, without considering the root system, just from the surface, it was indeed complete and it could indeed grow back well.

As for the root system, it is still the same as before, with only a few roots growing out, barely able to absorb nutrients from the flesh through the inner wall of the Dantian. The broken wound is still fresh and open, without healing.

Ding Lin's heart was relieved and he began to look forward to it. He guessed that if he wanted to grow the root system completely, the third step of the Yuanshen to entrust the Heavenly Soul would definitely not be enough. Even becoming an immortal might not be enough to complete it. Maybe it would take...

And by that time, a complete innate spirit that has regrown might make him truly extraordinary.

"congratulations."

The Five Fairies said.

Ding Lin nodded, and his body turned from a dragon form back into a human form. There was no major change in his form. He was still wearing the same red robe, but with a silver headband on his forehead and a little crystal bulge between his eyebrows.

At this moment, suddenly a divine power came from nowhere and pressed directly towards the soul.

Ding Lin's face changed and he turned his head to look at Linggui Peak in the distance. There, a mass of black clouds was pressing down and was almost touching the top of the peak. Although it was hundreds of miles away, the breath of destruction rolling in the dark clouds still made him feel palpitations.

"Thunder tribulation..." The magpie fairy below said in a lost voice, "This direction is Lingque Peak, it's that old turtle, he is actually going to survive the thunder tribulation."

"Boom!"

Thunder bursts.

Then a streak of lightning whipped on the Linggui Peak. Ding Lin's spiritual awareness had greatly improved compared to before. Just by paying attention, he felt a dull pain. It was hard to imagine what the old turtle must be feeling when facing the thunder. But the next moment, the old turtle's body straightened up. His breath was much weaker, but his aura was more vigorous. He showed no fear at all. Under his broken body, as if broken and reborn, a burst of vitality flowed.

Ding Lin was silent, and in an instant the joy he had just felt in his heart for successfully transforming into a dragon disappeared.
