People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 334 Nine Mysteries Transform into Form
"Senior Zhuhong, you should make the move."

Having confirmed Jiu Xuan Jin Lei's stance, Chen Xiao turned to Zhu Hong and spoke.

As long as the Nine Profound Golden Thunder doesn't resist, Chen Xiao can extract it himself, but he must be careful at every step and cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.

In comparison, having Zhu Hong handle it would undoubtedly be simpler and risk-free.

Zhu Hong nodded, then stepped forward and touched the junction of the two scales on Jiu Xuan Jin Lei's forehead with his palm.

A surge of battle qi rose within him, and his palms curled slightly. In an instant, dazzling golden energy continuously overflowed from the junction of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder Scales, then rapidly converged. In the blink of an eye, the golden energy coalesced into a small golden thunder dragon about a hundred feet long.

"Congeal!"

Temporarily withdrawing his hand, Zhu Hong, as before, compressed the newly formed golden thunder dragon at an extremely fast speed, and then sealed it into a golden thunder bead.

Chen Xiao quickly stepped forward to take it, while Zhu Hong continued to extract energy and compress it...

This process lasted for a total of fifteen times!
Including the thunder pearls that had been condensed earlier, Chen Xiao's Myriad Beasts Cauldron now contains a total of sixteen thunder pearls!
"Senior Zhuhong, that's enough."

Suppressing his joy, Chen Xiao looked at the Nine Profound Golden Lightning before him.

Because too much power was drawn away, the latter's enormous body, which was several thousand feet long, was now transformed into a small golden dragon of only about twenty feet long, and it immediately spoke up.

In the original trajectory, Xiao Yan also extracted the energy of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, but he only extracted one hundred-zhang lightning dragon, which reduced the Nine Profound Golden Lightning to only ten zhang in size.

The reason for this is that Xiao Yan took advantage of the moment when the Nine Profound Golden Thunder was at its weakest after failing to gather spiritual energy.

To put it bluntly, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder in that state didn't have much energy left to draw upon.

But the situation is different now. The Nine Profound Golden Thunder is at its peak, which is why it can be drawn by Zhu Hong more than ten times.

The sixteen thunder pearls in the Myriad Beasts Cauldron are all the best materials for refining the Thunder Tribulation Pill. This harvest is already much greater than Xiao Yan's in the original timeline, and Chen Xiao is extremely satisfied.

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's voice, Zhu Hong nodded slightly and stepped aside.

Chen Xiao first placed multiple seals on the Myriad Beasts Cauldron to ensure its safety before storing it in his storage ring.

The Myriad Beasts Cauldron was a gift from him to Cao Ying. Now it's just used as a container. Anyway, with Cao Ying's current alchemy skills, her need for the cauldron is very low.

After doing all this, Chen Xiao stepped forward. With a slight thought, countless runes, along with high-level magic cores and various rare materials, shot out and landed around the Nine Profound Golden Thunder.

The magic cores and various materials floated in mid-air, and if viewed from a higher vantage point, they would appear to form an extremely mysterious pattern.

Those dense runes disappeared into the void.

Just as these runes disappeared into the void, the energy of heaven and earth in this space, as well as the spiritual energy that could be sensed but not seen, quickly gathered, causing the weakened Nine Profound Golden Thunder to have its spirituality surge in its pair of golden eyes, and it couldn't wait to start gathering spiritual energy.

"Don't worry, I'll lend you another hand!"

Chen Xiao smiled and gently stroked the dragon head of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder. With a change of hand seal, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth quickly gathered and finally transformed into a seed of spiritual energy, which slowly invaded the body of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder.

In an instant, Zhu Hong and Zi Yan and the others in the distance were surprised to see that the spirituality in Jiu Xuan Jin Lei's pupils had increased further, and it had already shown a human-like joy and excitement.

The current Nine Profound Golden Thunder, due to the extraction of 99% of its energy, is probably only equivalent to the level of a Nine-Turn Dou Zun. If it were to gather spiritual energy at this time, the backlash would be negligible, or even completely disappear!
Looking at the Nine Profound Golden Thunder that suddenly became incredibly spiritual in the dragon's eyes, Chen Xiao smiled slightly.

"Everyone, if we don't gather our spiritual energy now, when will we?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao nodded to Zhu Hong and then flew out, landing beside Zi Yan and the other two.

They've done all they can to help; now it's up to the Nine Profound Golden Thunder to decide its own fate.

"It's about to begin."

Zi Yan gave a reminder, and the five of them all looked over.

Under the watchful eyes of the five, the golden thunder dragon, with a body about twenty feet long, suddenly exploded in huge arcs of lightning at the center of the sea of ​​thunder.

"Woo..."

Immediately, a mournful dragon roar resounded across the land, causing the surrounding black lightning to retreat in terror.

An even more powerful energy of heaven and earth, mixed with spiritual energy, frantically converged towards the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, causing that space to appear shrouded in an extremely dense energy atmosphere, like watching the rising sun through a thick fog.

However, this 'rising sun' is dragon-shaped and is still constantly turning.

This state lasted for about fifteen minutes.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the Thunder Pool, reaching everyone's ears.

Everyone could clearly feel that the dragon's roar was filled with undisguised jubilation.

"It succeeded!" Zhu Hong nodded slightly.

Looking at the center of the sea of ​​thunder again, the misty energy of heaven and earth began to dissipate, and the figure of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder became clearly visible.

It soared and darted freely in the sea of ​​lightning, as if celebrating its rebirth, its joy overflowing.

"Boom!"

The black demon lightning that had been dispersed at the edge of the sea of ​​lightning seemed to sense it instinctively, and a strange sound carrying a sense of joy emanated from the entire sea of ​​lightning.

Immediately, a massive surge of black demonic lightning erupted, rushing headlong towards the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

Countless bolts of black lightning, upon first contact with the twenty-foot-tall golden lightning dragon's body, automatically opened up, transforming into strands of fine black current that rapidly merged into the latter's body.

As countless streams of black lightning energy flowed in, the golden lightning dragon's body began to swell at a visible speed, and its aura soared like a rocket.

Nine Revolutions Dou Zun, the peak of Nine Revolutions Dou Zun…

Half-Saint, Battle Saint!
In just a few minutes, the golden thunder dragon's aura had reached the same level as Chen Xiao's.

That wasn't the end of it. Even at the late stage of the four-star Dou Sheng realm, its aura continued to rise, only at a slightly slower pace.

"Recovered so quickly..."

While Zi Yan was still in awe, the aura of the golden thunder dragon had already risen to the early stage of a six-star Dou Sheng!

In the blink of an eye, several more minutes passed, and the aura of the golden thunder dragon gradually stabilized, eventually settling at the late stage of a six-star Dou Sheng.

"It hasn't recovered to its peak yet, but the Void Thunder Pool has no shortage of thunder. I'm afraid it won't be more than a month before it's fully recovered, and it might even take another step forward. After all, it was only half a step away from becoming an eight-star Dou Sheng." Zhu Hong gazed at the Nine Profound Golden Thunder and nodded slightly.

Such a terrifying recovery speed was something that not only Chen Xiao and the others envied, but even he himself was filled with envy.

Unfortunately, this is an inherent advantage of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, much like the spatial talent of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan—something others can only envy. "Giving up power makes it easier to gain sentience. The Nine Profound Golden Lightning is like this; perhaps the Bodhi Ancient Tree can replicate it!"

As Chen Xiao gazed at the golden thunder dragon frolicking wildly in the sea of ​​thunder, his thoughts drifted to the ancient Bodhi tree.

Coincidentally, the Space Trade Fair is about to begin, which means that the reappearance of the Bodhi Tree is also very close.

It won't be long before this idea is proven true!
If the Bodhi Ancient Tree could truly replicate the process of gathering spiritual energy with the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, the benefits it would bring would be beyond imagination!
Just as the group was sighing with emotion, accompanied by a thunderous roar, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, now restored to its original size of over a thousand feet, rushed over, its massive body swirling joyfully around the five of them.

At this moment, although it has developed intelligence, it is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper because it lacks experience. Even its way of expressing closeness and gratitude is so straightforward.

Chen Xiao reached out and touched its head.

Far from resisting, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, like a small beast, rubbed its massive head against his palm, even its eyes slightly narrowed in enjoyment…

"Now that this big guy has successfully gathered its spirit, does that mean it can take human form? If so, will it be male or female after taking human form?" Zi Yan's voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw that the Dragon Emperor was curiously scanning the golden thunder dragon that surrounded them, as if trying to find something in the latter that could distinguish its gender.

Hearing her say that, even Cao Ying and Elder Mo's thoughts were swayed.

Zi Yan's thought process is quite unique, but it must be said that they are also interested in the answer to this question.

Chen Xiao chuckled and explained, "I have seen some miscellaneous records that spiritual creatures of heaven and earth are different from magical beasts. They have no gender. In other words, if they have the opportunity to take human form, whether they are male or female depends entirely on their will. Of course, these are just some unfounded conjectures, and we have to see for ourselves to believe it."

Upon hearing this, the group nodded and looked at the Nine Profound Golden Thunder in unison.

Isn't this a ready-made example?

Stared at by five pairs of eyes, the golden thunder dragon revealed a thoughtful expression in its huge pupils.

Immediately, it looked at Cao Ying, then at Zi Yan. Both of them were very close to Chen Xiao, while Elder Mo and Zhu Hong kept a certain distance.

Seeing this, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder seemed to have made up its mind.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar erupted, and blinding golden light burst forth from the thousand-foot-long thunder dragon, coloring the entire sea of ​​thunder with a dazzling golden hue.

After Chen Xiao and his group had adjusted to their surroundings, they opened their narrowed eyes and saw a golden figure standing gracefully in the distance.

She had the same hairstyle as Cao Ying, but with golden hair and golden eyes. Her eyebrows were like golden thunderbolts, her eyes held a sea of ​​thunder, her skin was radiant and warm gold, her fingertips were as light as fine thunderbolts, her golden hair fell to her waist, and there seemed to be light arcs of thunder dancing in her hair. Her noble and elegant appearance concealed a naive and pure heart.

Even the dress she wore was a luxurious gold, and its style was somewhat similar to Zi Yan's purple dress.

This is what the Nine Profound Golden Thunder looks like after it takes human form; it has a pretty face that is somewhere between a young girl and an adult woman.

very beautiful.

It's also...dazzling!
If you move a little further away, it looks like a small sun if you don't look closely.

"It can really transform so quickly..." Zi Yan's eyes widened slightly as she looked the transformed Nine Profound Golden Lightning up and down.

Nine Profound Golden Thunder looked at Zi Yan with some confusion, not understanding why she said that, but he didn't care and turned to look at Chen Xiao.

Those golden eyes, brimming with lightning, held no impurities, only pure closeness and dependence. Like a young beast that had just found its master, it hesitated for a moment before taking slightly awkward steps toward Chen Xiao, its skirt sweeping through the air, stirring up fine golden lightning threads.

She stopped in front of Chen Xiao, her golden eyes blinking slightly as if she were trying to figure out how to express herself.

After a long pause, a clear, melodious voice, like the tinkling of a thunder spring, finally escaped from his lips. It was a voice that was still a little awkward for someone new to speaking, but it was all the more genuine: "You... helped me."

Chen Xiao's heart stirred slightly as he sensed the closeness in her eyes. He immediately realized that it would be very easy to make her one of his own.

The Nine Profound Golden Thunder is currently a blank sheet of paper, and the goodwill of Chen Xiao and his group is the first touch of color to appear on this blank sheet of paper!
With a gentle smile, Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "We each got what we wanted, and I also benefited quite a bit. By the way, now that I can transform into human form, it's time to have a name."

She immediately perked up her ears, her golden eyes filled with anticipation, and even the lightning bolts in her hair seemed to dance more joyfully.

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the lightning aura surrounding her and that pure essence: "How about calling me Jiu Xuan? It's simple, easy to remember, and suits your true form."

Hearing Chen Xiao's conclusion after much deliberation, Zhu Hong and Elder Mo behind him were alright, showing no particularly strange reactions.

It's just a name. Jiu Xuan Jin Lei is called Jiu Xuan, which is simple, straightforward, and easy to remember. It's not good, but it's not bad either.

Zi Yan and Cao Ying exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.

Cao Ying, in particular, felt quite fortunate that Chen Xiao wasn't by her side when little Chen Xi was born.

Otherwise, given his style, he would probably have chosen an even more difficult-to-describe name.

Although Chen Xiao couldn't see the two women's reactions, with his soul perception, it was no different from seeing them all. He just felt a little angry.

Am I really bad at naming things?
Looking up at the Nine Profound Golden Lightning in front of her, Chen Xiao was quite satisfied with her reaction.

“Nine… Mystery… Nine Mystery”.

She repeated it once, her voice gradually becoming smoother, and a faint smile slowly bloomed on her face.

That smile was neither as alluring as Cao Ying's nor as charming as Zi Yan's; rather, it was like the clear, bright sunlight after a thunderclap.

"As long as you like."

Chen Xiao smiled, then briefly introduced himself and the people around him before asking, "Jiu Xuan, what are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xuan looked at the depths of the Thunder Sea, then at Chen Xiao and the others, seemingly conflicted, and finally shook his head with a slightly bewildered expression.

“You have just successfully gathered your spirit, and your condition has not fully recovered yet. If you are unsure, how about this: you stay here to recover, and we will come to pick you up to go to Dragon Island once you are fully recovered.”

"The outside world is wonderful, but also very complicated. You haven't had much contact with people, so it's not suitable for you to go to Zhongzhou in the short term. You can stay on Dragon Island first to get to know people and communicate with them, and also learn more about this world. Then you can make a plan."

To be honest, Chen Xiao felt this was the most appropriate method.

Given Jiu Xuan's current naiveté, if he were to go to Zhongzhou, the probability of him being swindled and deceived would be extremely high.

Let her stay on Dragon Island for a while after she recovers to get a feel for the situation. This is not only for Jiu Xuan's sake, but also for her own.

Based on the close relationship they shared in helping her gather spiritual energy, spending a little more time would be enough to make Jiu Xuan genuinely accept them, which would undoubtedly be more reassuring than direct recruitment.

“Then I need… a month,” Jiu Xuan said, blinking.

This timing is consistent with Zhu Hong's previous prediction.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "Then focus on recovering your strength. We'll come to pick you up in a month."
