Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 332 The Azure Dragon King, Ao Run's Background
Each of these giant peaks has a fourth-order spiritual vein, and all of them are occupied by fourth-order celestial immortal-level true dragons, all of them mythological templates.

As the two passed through these mountains, every now and then a real dragon would raise its head and look over.

Upon seeing this, Ao Ying introduced Su Yu as follows:

"These are mostly true dragons from the Dragon Palace of Dongsheng Shenzhou. They came to help in the battle at the invitation of my father. However, they are only responsible for helping in the battle, not for conquering cities and seizing land. We, the local dragons of Qingcang, can only fight against foreign enemies."

"They mostly stay at Dragon Keep, but if you're willing to pay a high price, you can get them to take action."

Su Yu asked curiously:

"What would be the cost of getting them to help? What level of true dragon can be invited to assist in the battle?"

"At least three major merits are required. The stronger the character, the higher the fee. Level 350 and above requires four major merits, level 380 and above requires five major merits, and if it is a True Immortal, it requires fifteen major merits."

"Are there any Xuanxian-level true dragons?"

Ao Ying turned around with a surprised look and nodded:
"Of course there are Xuanxian. Besides my father, Dragon Fortress also has two Xuanxian True Dragons from the Dragon Palace of Dongsheng Divine Continent. Theoretically, they can be invited to help, but the cost of inviting them is too high. It would require at least 100 Great Merits or equivalent resources."

"And this is just the invitation fee. In reality, it depends on whether they are willing to take action. If they are not willing to take action, no matter how much more they pay, it will be useless."

"Oh."

As they chatted, the two quickly passed through the mountains where true dragons roamed and arrived deep in the Dragon Fortress. There, they saw a level 485 mythical dragon turtle with a shell diameter of over 500 kilometers lying between two mountains. On its back stood a huge palace surrounded by dazzling immortal light.

Su Yu looked at the enormous tortoise carrying the palace with surprise and asked with great curiosity:

"I see many people like to build palaces on the back of giant tortoises, why is that?"

"Nothing special, just convenient to move around."

"Oh, indeed."

Ao Ying led Su Yu onto the turtle's back and stopped in front of the main hall. Two celestial-level crab generals stood guard at the entrance. Ao Ying bowed to Su Yu.
"Brother Su, please wait a moment. I need to see my father first."

"please."

Ao Ying strode into the hall, while Su Yu looked around and waited outside.

About fifteen minutes later, Ao Ying's voice came to my ears:
"Brother Su, please enter the palace quickly, my father wishes to see you."

Su Yu stood up, straightened his robes, and strode into the main hall.

Passing through the light membrane into the hall, he was suddenly greeted by a bright and open space. It was not the grand hall he had imagined, but a hidden paradise.

"Good heavens, this palace is actually a spatial-type immortal treasure."

This place is a hidden paradise in the water. In front of it is a vast expanse of water, clear and transparent, with abundant spiritual energy. Streams of extremely thick spiritual energy rise from the bottom of the water, standing in the sea like pillars.

Deep within these pillars of spiritual energy, Ao Ying had transformed into a golden dragon hundreds of kilometers long, coiling in the sea. However, Su Yu's gaze only swept over him briefly before being instantly drawn to the enormous figure behind him, enveloped by the spiritual energy of the entire cave.

"hiss!"

"What a huge dragon!"

Ao Ze (Mythical/Immortal): Level 584, Azure Dragon King.

Its scales are dark gold, and its size is unbelievably huge. Ao Ying, which is nearly a hundred kilometers long, looks like a small earthworm in comparison.

Since the Supreme Dragon successfully transformed and survived the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Man, his body expanded, and this was the first time Su Yu felt his own insignificance.

"Su Yu of the Dragon Clan pays respects to His Majesty the Dragon King!"

A gaze, seemingly tangible, descended from the sky and swept over Su Yu, from front to back, inside to outside, as if X-rays were trying to see through him.

At that moment, Su Yu felt that all her secrets had been exposed by this gaze, leaving her completely naked and exposed to the eyes.

However, this feeling came and went quickly; the moment the thought crossed his mind, the gaze vanished, and then an incredibly loud voice rang in his ears:

"Su Yu, a descendant of the dragon, would you be willing to join the Azure Dragon Palace?"

Having already prepared a response, Su Yu nodded without hesitation:

"Su Yu is willing to join the Azure Dragon Palace."

"good!"

"In the name of the Azure Dragon King, I grant you the authority to travel throughout the four seas, the power to command the aquatic races, the divine power to enlighten the navy, a fourth-grade top-quality spiritual vein, and a quota to enter the Dragon Transformation Well once."

"Su Yu, you may choose to establish your own residence and establish your own guild, or you may register under someone else's name."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu sensed a hint of nervousness in Ao Ying beside him. He smiled slightly, nodded in acknowledgment, and said:

“I am willing to be affiliated with Brother Ao Ying.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he could feel Ao Ying breathe a sigh of relief.

"Can!"

Deep within the cave, the incredibly massive Azure Dragon King slowly moved, raised its claws, and pointed a finger. Not far from Su Yu, the seawater swirled in mid-air, forming a huge whirlpool. The space at the mouth of the whirlpool transformed into a portal, and a strange aura emanated from the mouth of the whirlpool, causing Su Yu's blood to suddenly begin to boil.

"This is?"

"This is the Dragon Transformation Well, a treasure of our clan. It can purify the bloodline of the dragon race and enhance their potential. Non-dragons can be directly transformed into true dragons after being cleansed by the Dragon Transformation Well."

Ao Ying whispered an explanation in Su Yu's ear:
"Generally, only direct descendants of the Dragon Palace are qualified to enter the Dragon Transformation Well. Outsiders must make great contributions to enter the Dragon Transformation Well. It is extremely rare for Brother Su to be granted the opportunity to enter the Dragon Transformation Well by his father as soon as he arrived."

"I see."

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke:
"Your Majesty, I would like to give this opportunity to my Daoist partner. I wonder if this is in accordance with the rules?"

Ao Ying paused for a moment, then whispered:

"Brother Su, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can we not?"

"Can!"

Su Yu smiled and said to Ao Ying:
“My bloodline is already very strong, and the Dragon Transformation Well can only provide limited improvement. My Daoist partner needs it more.”

"Ok."

Su Yu reached out and opened a portal of light, from which a true dragon with a body of azure blue flew out and joyfully circled around Su Yu.

However, as soon as Ao Run came out, Ao Ying suddenly let out a soft exclamation, and a ripple came from the depths of the cave, with an invisible wave spreading out in layers beneath Ao Run's feet.

"This is?"

Su Yu was taken aback, but did nothing; she didn't seem to be in any danger.

After a short while, the shimmering light disappeared, and the Azure Dragon King's booming voice rang out again:
"You may all enter the Dragon Transformation Well together!"

Su Yu looked surprised, and Ao Ying, standing beside her, said with equal surprise:

“My father told me that she was also a descendant of the Dragon Palace and the daughter of my sixth brother.”

"Is her father still alive?"

"Sixth Brother has fallen. When the Sea Serpent Clan breached the Dragon Palace, Sixth Brother covered our retreat and died in battle."

"I see."

Ao Ying said excitedly:

"You just said my niece is your Daoist partner?" "Yes."

"Then we're truly on the same side from now on."

Su Yu
At this moment, Ao Run had already woken up and knew everything. A clear voice spoke in his ear:

“Young master, I was originally a descendant of the dragon prince of the Azure Dragon Palace. The Dragon King has just restored my identity.”

Su Yu said with a smile:

"This is a good thing. With the Dragon Clan as our backer, we will be able to advance further in no time. Overcoming the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Man in the future will not be a problem. At that time, we will be a proper Dragon Palace Dragon Maiden."

"No matter what my status is, I am still your maid."

Su Yu looked up somewhat guiltily and waved her hand, saying:
"Enter the Dragon Transformation Pool now to cleanse your bloodline."

Ao Run nodded and flew towards the whirlpool of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

"Wait a moment."

Su Yu suddenly flew forward, reached out and patted Ao Run's forehead, and five streams of Heavenly Dao Origin Power entered her body.

"Thank you, sir."

She plunged into the whirlpool and disappeared.

Su Yu thought that it would take a long time for the Dragon Transformation Pool to cleanse the bloodline, but less than a minute after Ao Run went down, the energy at the wellhead expanded, the vortex rapidly expanded more than ten times, and accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, Ao Run, whose aura had surged, flew out from it.

A colossal true dragon flew out of the Dragon Transformation Well, circled around Su Yu, and the space around it distorted and deformed.

"This is?"

Su Yu immediately checked Ao Run's panel and her eyes lit up.

Ao Run (Myth): Level 268, Water Tribe, True Dragon, Azure Dragon Clan Dragon Girl.

With the transformation of his bloodline, Ao Run's strength also underwent a tremendous change.

Aside from the qualitative change in attributes, transforming from a legendary template to a mythical template, she directly mastered the laws, and not just any laws, but three: the Law of Water, the Law of Ice, and...
"Huh? It's actually the law of space?"

"How did she master the laws of space?"

From any perspective, she had no chance of mastering the laws of space.

The Azure Sea Dragon Pearl bestowed by the Dragon King is an acquired immortal treasure, not an innate one. It cannot grant its owner the laws of the Great Dao, so she could not possibly master the laws of space from it.

Apart from that, Ao Run had no connection to space in any other way.

Su Yu asked curiously:
"Where did you get your spatial laws from?"

She also looked bewildered and said:
"I don't know either, but when I was transforming in the Dragon Transformation Well, I suddenly vaguely sensed that my past life memories seemed to be of the True Dragon Clan. When I woke up, I inexplicably mastered the laws of space."

"That's it."

Su Yu understood:
"That means you must have been a powerful true dragon who mastered the laws of space in your past life."

"This is a good thing. It means that you can awaken the wisdom from your past life and there is a very high probability that you will be able to reach the level of your past life in the future."

At this moment, Ao Ying's voice rang in Su Yu's ears:

"Brother Su, please enter the Dragon Transformation Well!"

He nodded and plunged into the Dragon Transformation Well.

Upon entering the Dragon Transformation Well, one is greeted by a sky filled with crimson, with burning and twisted blood flames raging in all directions, giving one the feeling of entering the bloodline space after the Supreme Dragon Transformation Tribulation.

Without needing explanation, Su Yu understood immediately that the Dragon Transformation Well was a simulation of the bloodline space.

After Su Yu entered, the burning, twisting blood flames began to contort and transform into true dragons of various colors and levels that rushed towards him. The lowest level was over 200, and the highest was over 300. All of them were mythical template true dragons with genuine health and innate divine abilities.

The red dragon raised its head and roared, then pounced forward.

"boom!"

The Great Wilderness Ancient Dragon Claw granted double the power and super strong defense-breaking ability. With one claw, it cut a level 275 red dragon in half at the waist. The second claw smashed the dragon's head into pieces. The red dragon's body was a ball of golden blood light that merged into Su Yu's body. He could vaguely feel the changes in his own bloodline.

But the changes are minimal, and the added benefits are barely noticeable.

He knew this was because the bloodline of the Supreme Dragon Transformation was already extremely strong, so this bonus was practically negligible.

However, progress is a good thing, since he has now activated the Ancient Dragon Bloodline. Even a 1% increase would save him 10 points of Heavenly Dao Origin Power.

"kill!"

The enormous crimson dragon plunged into the blood mist, only to be instantly engulfed by the true dragon formed from endless blood flames.

The dragons are endless, the slaughter is inexhaustible, and time keeps flowing.

Su Yu was certain that the flow of time inside the Dragon Transformation Well was different from that outside. Ao Run had only been inside the Dragon Transformation Well for a minute before, but now he had been fighting continuously inside the Dragon Transformation Well for more than an hour.

It goes without saying that the more Blood Flame Essence you kill and devour in the Dragon Transformation Well, the more benefits you will gain.

Su Yu went all out, recklessly activating the Star Shifting and Yin-Yang Reversal techniques to frantically kill the blood dragons that kept condensing.

At first, the level of the blood dragons he condensed was between two hundred and three hundred. As he continued to kill, the level of the blood dragons he condensed became lower and lower. After half an hour, they were all true dragons of level three hundred or above.

But this was not the limit. As he continued to kill, the level of the Blood Dragon increased, and true dragons of level 320 and 340 or above began to appear.

These condensed true dragons are as powerful as real bosses, each one is difficult to deal with and requires a great deal of effort to kill.

Fortunately, these condensed blood dragons lacked intelligence and coordination, which allowed him to withstand the onslaught and kill them one by one.

However, this situation became increasingly difficult to kill as the Blood Dragon's level increased. Later on, even constantly activating the life law divine power to recover was difficult to sustain. He decisively activated the Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, multiplying all attributes by 10, and began the final wave of frenzied killing.

With his physical strength and speed increasing tenfold, even a Blood Dragon at level 300 is no match for him; he can kill one in three or four moves, making him incredibly efficient.

Countless blood dragons were killed, and a continuous stream of blood flame essence was devoured and accumulated. Su Yu could clearly feel the transformation of the ancient dragon bloodline, and the improvement was extremely obvious.

Sixty seconds passed in the blink of an eye, during which more than thirty blood dragons of level 300 or higher were slaughtered in a frenzy.

Su Yu had a sudden thought to transform into her true form and activate the Time-Treading Technique to refresh the Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit True Form. However, as soon as the thought arose in her mind, she knew in her heart that once she transformed back into her true form in the Dragon Transformation Well, she would be ejected, and all her previous accumulations would be lost.

"That's it!"

After all, it is a divine artifact of the dragon race, so it must only allow those with dragon bloodlines to enter.

As soon as the duration of the Ancient Dragon Primordial Spirit Incarnation ended, Su Yu had a thought and a powerful repulsive force ejected him.
