After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

Chapter 99 Nine Star Crouching Dragon Formation

Shen Suiren naturally said, "I've been stuck in the minefield and haven't gotten out."

The Dragon King didn't believe a word she said. "Stop trying to fool me. Let that little rascal Ya Ya come out."

Shen Suiren paused, then said, "So you know that Dao Lord." Green Leaf sank into the depths of her consciousness, pretending not to see the Dragon King.

Just as she was about to make a roundabout inquiry, Cheng Zhishun and Juexing, this awkward pair, came over.

The two even fought over where to sit, and in the end, Niao Niao and Nie Chengzhang, who were walking behind them, sat on the prayer mat they were fighting over.

"You want to draw a talisman?" Niao Niao turned around several times, finally giving up on finding the array's core.

She now hopes to pick more golden Thunder Spirit Fruits, "I wonder when Ji Yu will wake up."

"Nie Chengzhang, if only you had a single earth elemental root, you could harvest so many spirit fruits like someone with a lightning elemental root."

"Not good." As a sword cultivator, Nie Chengzhang preferred the powerful fire elemental energy.

Juexing stopped arguing and laughed, "Niao Niao, don't even dream of having a Thunder Spirit Root. It's extremely rare. Among the tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators we've brought in, there isn't even one."

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with a lightning spiritual root is someone no sect would be willing to send into the beast tide to fight.

Among the cultivators currently under the tree canopy, only Zong Rou, who possesses a single earth elemental root, can climb the tree and pluck the thunder spirit fruit by circulating earth elemental power within her body.

Many people lined up under the tree waiting for her to pick fruit, but Yao Niaoniao didn't want to squeeze in there, so she could only look up at the tree and sigh.

"Cheng Zhishun, you're staring at the tree. Have you noticed anything different?" Juexing turned his head and saw the man looking up without moving.

"Shh, don't interrupt his thoughts." Shen Suiren didn't need to look to know that he had discovered the Dragon King up there.

Sure enough, the Dragon King used a secret technique to transmit his voice while scolding people: "I gave you a bunch of secret techniques for nothing, but you can't even get out of a lightning zone. You came to the mutated lightning spirit tree, but instead of using the lightning to temper your body, you didn't take the time to do so."

"Only humans don't experience the Transformation Tribulation, and the Nascent Soul stage only involves nine lightning tribulations, which you can easily overcome."

“There are thirty-six Nascent Soul stages and fifty-four Divine Transformation stages.” Cheng Zhishun reminded her that the primordial energy of heaven and earth was different from what it used to be.

After a moment of surprise, the Dragon King muttered to himself, "In the past, when humans formed their Core, Nascent Soul, or Deity, they only faced nine or fifty-four lightning tribulations. This is the sixty-nine lightning tribulations that occur when advancing to the Void Refinement stage."

Now that even Nascent Soul cultivators are facing thirty-six 49-fold tribulations, could it be that the war between the two races has damaged the foundation of the Taiyuan Realm?
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao punished the cultivators of the Taiyuan Realm…

It took a long time for Juexing and the others under the tree to enter a state of body refinement before the Dragon King came to his senses.

Then he looked at Shen Suiren and said, "You lied to me and said that after the war between humans and demons, there were no more people who had cultivated to the level of Nascent Soul."

Now that we know the specific tribulations involved in the Nascent Soul stage, someone must have succeeded.

Shen Suiren had something to say: "That's because I didn't finish explaining. If you're patient, I'll say more."

"After the tribulation of lightning, there is another tribulation of inner demons. Many people perish in the tribulation of inner demons. The fifty-four tribulations are recorded in this way."

"The younger generation found it difficult to advance. After several years of great battles, the major and minor sects and powerful demons moved away, taking many treasures of the Taiyuan Realm with them. The dragons were the first to leave."

"Later on, the interdimensional portals leading to different realms disappeared completely."

"It wasn't until tens of thousands of years ago that a cultivator from the Cangyuan Sect successfully transformed into a god, and with the help of the great power of heaven and earth at that moment, he shattered the void and flew to another realm."

At that time, the Cangyuan Sect was at its peak, firmly holding the position of the number one sect in the Taiyuan Realm.

However, the good times didn't last long. The surge in the number of people reaching the Nascent Soul stage from various factions during that period was gone forever.

With the Nascent Soul Ancestor completely out of contact, the strength of a sect still depends on Nascent Soul cultivators, and the rankings have changed once again.

However, over the past tens of thousands of years, not many have successfully transformed into gods; it is said that there are only twenty or thirty, but the truth of this is unknown, since demons are not included.

She went on and on about the current situation, but the Dragon King didn't respond. So she sent a telepathic message to Cheng Zhishun, "Please ask her to let us take some Thunder Spirit Fruit with us when we leave."

"Do not……"

"It's foolish not to take the readily available shortcut."

"you!"

"Tell her quickly. I don't want to rack my brains trying to solve the formation. The most important thing is to get out and find the treasure."

Cheng Zhishun snorted at her, finally ready to speak to the Dragon King.

Unexpectedly, after gathering his thoughts, the Dragon King asked again, "Of all the humans and demons who left, wasn't one of them able to cultivate to the level of Integration or Mahayana, and find the portal to repair themselves?"

Cheng Zhishun couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Ha, we don't even know if they'll still be alive after they get out."

Besides, how many cultivators are truly selfless? Even those who have reached the Mahayana stage still aspire to ascend to immortality.

After spending all his money and incurring debt to rebuild the portal, all he got back was a thank you?

It's like you're letting us into Taobao—are you really giving it away for free?

"Of course not. This island has been neglected for many years. If the spiritual plants grow wildly, it will destroy the overall layout of the great formation."

"I'll bring you in so you can rest and recuperate, and then we can gather enough food for the dragon eggs." What the Dragon King didn't say was that she would select some demons to stay and continue to manage the dragon eggs, so that they would have their own territory after they transformed into human form.

Shen Suiren immediately replied, "This junior is willing to serve the Dragon King, and will accept only a small reward."

"Look at this patch of Thunder Spirit Fruit, how should it be pruned?"

The Dragon King looked her up and down, then at Cheng Zhishun: "Look at you, the senior brother, you're not as good as your junior sister."

They were clearly asking me for something, yet their words were quite agreeable to me.

"Just tell me whether you'll give it or not?" Cheng Zhishun felt that since the beginning of the year had brought it up, he didn't need to be so careful in trying to please him anymore.

"Here you go, but you have to climb the tree to pick them all." He even rolled his eyes at me. I don't believe I can't teach him a lesson. With a slight movement of his divine sense, the Dragon King sent Zong Rou crashing to the ground from the tree.

She had just been helped up when she saw Cheng Zhishun flailing his arms and legs, hanging from a tree branch, trying to jump down but unable to, and being struck by a series of electric shocks.

Everyone looked on with bewilderment, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, how did you get up there?"

Everyone had tried before, but none of them could climb it except for Zong Rou.

They even formed a human ladder to try and pick the spirit fruit, but they were struck down by lightning as soon as they touched the treetop.

Shen Suiren strolled over: "The Dragon King told him to pick the spirit fruit, so we should all follow him and accept it."

"But why choose him?" Zong Rou leaned against the tree trunk, but couldn't climb any further.

She was paid by everyone for picking the fruit, so she was a little unwilling to give it to Cheng Zhishun.

"He has angered me." The Dragon King's voice rang out from the tree, and her dragon-shaped figure flashed before everyone's eyes.

Whether they were cultivators or demons, no one dared to breathe loudly.

The Dragon King then said, "This fruit has no grade limit. Eating more of it will help with body refinement. You can eat as many fruits as you like here, including demons, but each of you is only allowed to take ten with you when you leave."

The excess will be given to Sui Chu, who will then send it to my nephew. Any objections?

After she withdrew her oppressive aura, everyone whispered in unison, "We dare not."

"Very well. Not only you, but all the people and demons who have obtained anything on the island must leave the majority to me."

After the Dragon King finished speaking, he pointed at Cheng Zhishun and said, "You, pick them carefully for me. You can come down when you're done picking them."

"None of you are leaving until he finishes picking them all." With that, he vanished without a trace.

Everyone looked at Cheng Zhishun with sympathy, saying, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, we beg you."

Shen Suiren spread his hands, ready to receive the spirit fruit, "I can't help you this time." Cheng Zhishun was furious, but he couldn't refuse. The longer he stayed in the tree, the more lightning would strike.

After completing his body tempering, Juexing saw this scene and immediately called his teammates outside the woods to come in, thinking, "Why not take it?"

He was happy to see Cheng Zhishun make a fool of himself, but unfortunately, the guy was quick and finished picking all twenty-eight trees in half a day.

Then, caught off guard, all the people and demons in the minefield were struck out by the sudden burst of lightning, and even those who hadn't entered the heavily lightning-prone area were not spared.

The difference is that some splashed into the lake, while others fell onto the mountaintop next to them.

Only Ji Yu, who was sleeping on the Earth Mother Cauldron, landed steadily in Nie Chengzhang's arms.

The moment Shen Suiren flew out of the lake, she recognized it as the same lake she had seen from the air.

But before she could even land and stand firmly, the green leaves in her mind started acting up again, pulling her to the bottom of the lake with a whoosh.

This left the cultivators who flew out of the lake at the same time puzzled:
"Are you Fellow Daoist Suichu?"

"They must have discovered something underwater."

"Shall we go down and take a look?"

Before everyone could respond to the suggestion, Yao Niaoniao, Cheng Zhishun, Juexing, and Nie Chengzhang were the first to jump back into the water.

But the lake, so clear you could see the bottom, showed no trace of the beginning of the year.

"Send a message: Nie Chengzhang, come with me to collect the Thunder Spirit Fruit."

The Dragon King has already entrusted her nephew to Sui Chu to raise. Cheng Zhishun pulled Jue Xing aside and transmitted his voice. Since this meeting, he hadn't had time to exchange communication marks with Sui Chu.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? Some people have already run away." Nie Chengzhang scanned the lakeside with his divine sense and saw that the fox clan members who had also obtained the Thunder Spirit Fruit had not moved, but several cultivators had run away.

They flew out of the lake to intercept, while Juexing and Niaoniao sent messages and searched for people.

Meanwhile, Shen Suiren was led by Green Leaf Sprouts into an underwater cave filled with spiritual energy, but when she looked up and took a closer look, her heart trembled.

"Dragon...dragon eggs, there are nine of them?" That's terrifying! How could she afford to raise them? Even if she harvested everything on the island, it wouldn't be enough for nine.

The demon king was startled at the hour of Si, because it heard the voice "Save me" again, so it quickly flew out to check.

"There's only one dragon egg. The others include Kunpeng, Xuan Turtle, Henggong Fish, Water Qilin, Fragrant Whale, Red Carp, Clam Spirit, and Crab General." The Little Fox King also flew out of his spirit beast ring and pointed them out one by one.

The mother clam then flew out: "Except for the dragon, the Kun, and the tortoise, all the others are dead."

"Are you seeing things? These are all illusions. The only real living thing is a dragon egg."

The Dragon King would never allow other demons to share the spiritual energy of his cubs. As he spoke, the little fox king swayed his seven tails.

With a swift pull of its two paws, the nine eggs in front of it instantly lost their radiance.

Shen Suiren focused his spiritual energy on his eyes to examine them closely. Sure enough, only one out of the nine was genuine, while the other eight were made of top-grade spiritual jade.

Upon closer inspection of the cave's layout, she recognized the formation: "Nine Star Crouching Dragon Formation."

"You have good eyesight; you actually recognized the formation created by Chen Chu."

"Did Ya Ya teach you that?" The Dragon King's dragon form floated out again.

The three demon kings froze instantly. Shen Suiren, showing favoritism, hugged the little fox king and deliberately ignored her question: "Dragon King, your sudden appearances every time put our hearts to the test."

"Slippery fellow." The Dragon King said, glancing at the hour of Si (9-11 AM). "Did you hear that?"

"I...I heard you. I have met the Dragon King." Si Shi quickly nodded and bowed, and the clam mother beside him also bowed in respect.

The Dragon King nodded slightly: "From now on, you will take care of Ao Jian together with the little cultivator. You may share everything you obtain on the island with him."

Now that there are no true dragons in the Taiyuan Realm, it would be best for my nephew to have a helper by his side. Although the blood relation is somewhat distant, it has a good relationship with the junior cultivator.

Compared to the demon race, the Dragon King inexplicably trusted Shen Suiren more, well, plus the kid outside who beat people up and stole back the spirit fruit.

Si Shi was stunned on the spot. It felt both resistant and curious about the island's resources that the Dragon King had mentioned.

The Dragon King doesn't care what it thinks; with such vast resources, only a madman would refuse them.

She looked at Shen Suiren again, "Do you know how to break the formation?"

"I know, reverse the trajectory of the nine stars, and choose the first, second, and fifth stars to dismantle the formation." So, the fragment of the Array Sect manual that I obtained in my previous life was left behind by that Daoist Chenchu?
This was the first time Shen Suiren had learned the other party's Daoist name.

The Dragon King only appeared as a divine consciousness; her avatar could not leave the Dragon Palace for the time being and could not take action: "Dismantle the formation."

Shen Suiren shook his head: "Dragon King, please wait a moment. With my cultivation level, I'm afraid I can't dismantle the formation set up by the Dao Lord."

Why don't you leave for now and let Ya Ya disassemble it? It seems a little afraid of you.

"Hmph, it treated the dragon balls I collected like marbles, and spun them into the seabed, keeping everyone searching for half a month." This caused delays in the construction of the Dragon Palace, which was not yet fully completed.

But the Dragon King didn't want to waste any more time and disappeared into his underwater cave in the blink of an eye.

The little fox king took a deep breath and darted back into the spirit beast bracelet: "She's been watching me the whole time, how am I supposed to explore and find treasures?"

"As if she weren't here." Shen Suiren was also nervous, but she hid it well.

After putting away the other two, she approached the dragon eggs and quickly formed hand seals to try and see if she could break the seal.

As expected, the nine eggs remained unmoved. Just as she was about to give up communicating with Green Leaf, the creature suddenly flew out of her sea of ​​consciousness and slapped onto her bald head.

Shen Suiren then realized that she had forgotten to use her spiritual power to activate it.

But there's no time to worry about that now. Green Leaf first transmitted the formation steps to her, then sent her a huge amount of wood elemental power, which should have helped her dismantle the formation.

Shen Suiren compared the hand seals and found that they were the same as the ones she had learned in her previous life. So she formed the hand seals again, her hands moving several times faster than before. She was so tired that sweat poured down her face.

She mobilized a large amount of spiritual energy within the cave, directing it through intricate hand seals to the first, second, and fifth positions.

As she drew in more spiritual energy, a crisp cracking sound was heard, and the first jade egg broke open, followed by the second and the fifth.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the dragon egg broke through the protective circle that bound it, and its shell cracked open instantly, causing a sudden upheaval on the island.

When Green Leaf retired after accomplishing his mission, the three Little Fox Kings exclaimed, "The young dragon is about to be born!"

"Will it be a seventh-order, or will it directly transform into an eighth-order human form?" As soon as Shen Suiren finished speaking, a blue-purple baby dragon flew out of its egg. Fortunately, the cave was large enough for it to stretch its body.

The Dragon King reappeared, saying, "Breaking out of the shell and reaching the ninth level, Ao Jian, well done."

"Aunt Zitang, what happened to you?" Just as the young dragon was about to pounce on her, its dragon form suddenly surged with spiritual energy, and its whole body crackled with fine lightning: "Oh no, it seems I'm about to transform into human form."

It eagerly snatched away the eggshells, and with a flick of its tail, it smashed those top-grade spirit jade eggs.

"No rush, we can still delay things for a couple more moments. Young cultivator, quickly set up the tribulation-crossing formation."

"The Red-banded Serpent and the Azure Clam will remain to protect the Dharma," the Dragon King immediately ordered.

Shen Suiren didn't have a special tribulation array flag or array plate, so he had no choice but to leave the two panicked demons behind and take away the broken top-grade jade. "Dragon King, the demon race is now taking human form and will also face thirty-six lightning tribulations."

"What?" Ao Jian was dumbfounded. The inheritance only mentioned nine transformation lightning tribulations.

He should have hatched earlier and cultivated for a while before transforming into human form, which would have been safer. However, he stayed in the formation for too long and suddenly reached the ninth level.

"Aunt Zitang, what should we do? Hey, that cultivator, come back and explain yourself."

But Shen Suiren had already flown out of the cave.
