Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 205 Spiritual Revival

In the secret realm of Yanqiu, a faint dragon's might permeated the air, growing stronger with the passage of time.

Squeak, squeak, squeak. Outside the secret place, the Rat Pride guarding this place felt this pressure and shuddered.

"What a terrifying aura! Is my lord about to succeed?"

Turning its gaze toward the secret realm, Rat Pride suppressed the urge to leave. At this moment, with no shortage of spirit ore, it had already achieved the minor success of Qi Refining. However, even so, it still felt an almost instinctive fear in the face of this pressure.

This is normal, after all, the dragon's might is a manifestation of the true dragon's power. Under normal circumstances, only the true dragon can master the dragon's might. Among the many dragons, only the pure-blooded dragons can generate a thin dragon's might because their bloodline is pure enough. This is also one of the standards for distinguishing between pure-blooded dragons and mixed-blooded dragons.

At this very moment, within the secret realm, the transformation of the Mist Dragon has reached a crucial juncture.

As the Blood Fiend True Flame rose, Jiang Chen, clad in a dragon's skin and transformed into a dragon, continuously refined himself. In this way, he could most clearly perceive the changes in the dragon's skin, reducing the difficulty of blood refining and spirit sacrifice to a certain extent, which was unmatched by other weapon refiners.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon..."

Having fully absorbed the power of the Crimson Glow Spirit Water and activated the secret technique, Jiang Chen felt the restlessness of the dragon's blood.

At this very moment, the dormant dragon blood is being activated, and more and more power is emerging from the depths of the bloodline, the increasingly intense pressure being the best evidence of this.

"With the awakening of bloodline and the manifestation of the dragon's true nature, this will be a major challenge in this blood refining and spirit sacrifice."

With the tortoise and snake guarding his heart, Jiang Chen used his powerful divine soul to counteract the restlessness of the dragon bloodline, allowing it to recover steadily instead of going completely berserk.

As time passed, just when Jiang Chen was exhausted and could no longer hold on, a glimmer of inspiration slowly emerged from the deepest part of the Mist Dragon's bloodline.

At that moment, a faint ray of light shone into Jiang Chen's mind. Through this light, he saw a phantom bead, perfectly round and flawless, pure white and without flaw. Inside was a vast sea of ​​mist, undergoing all sorts of changes, so captivating that one could not help but be drawn into it at a glance.

"Dragon Pearl..."

With the dragon pearl entering his heart, Jiang Chen gained a sudden enlightenment.

For the Mist Dragon, the spiritual essence inherited in its bloodline is actually the Dragon Pearl. This power should have slowly revived after it reached the peak of Qi Refining, but now it has awakened ahead of time thanks to the Blood Refining Spirit Sacrifice Secret Technique.

However, at this moment, the power of the secret technique was exhausted, and the newly awakened spirituality once again fell silent.

The ethereal light dissipated, returning to darkness, leaving Jiang Chen feeling somewhat lost and dejected.

He did not use the complete Blood Refining and Sacrifice Secret Technique when he was refining himself; he only went halfway through. He merely attempted to awaken the inherited spirituality in the Mist Dragon's bloodline without completely solidifying it. Although this approach could not elevate the Mist Dragon's strength to its full potential in one step, it preserved the Mist Dragon's potential. Overall, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

"So this is the fundamental reason why most pure-blooded dragons can forge a Dao foundation." A piece of inherited information naturally emerged, and Jiang Chen swept away the melancholy in his heart.

The Jiaozhu itself is the manifestation of the spiritual essence inherited by the bloodline of the Mist Jiao, and also the powerful source of the pure-blooded Jiaolong. Although the initial form of this Jiaozhu is illusory, with its source, it only needs to be combined with the corresponding secret method, watered and fertilized, and the Jiaozhu will slowly solidify.

When the dragon pearl becomes fully materialized, the pure-blooded dragon will have a companion spiritual treasure. Compared to other cultivators who need to consider the compatibility of spiritual treasures and spend energy refining them, the pure-blooded dragon has no such worries. With the dragon pearl on their bodies, they can naturally step into the foundation of the Dao realm.

"The Flood Dragon Pearl is the source of spirituality and the carrier of all spirituality. With the help of the Flood Dragon Pearl and through the corresponding secret method, a pure-blooded Flood Dragon can spontaneously gather spirituality and eventually solidify the Flood Dragon Pearl."

"And the source of this spirituality comes from all sentient beings."

After digesting the inherited information, various thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind. At this moment, he finally had a relatively clear understanding of the essence of the Flood Dragon Pearl and the essence of spirituality.

"Whether it's the Flood Dragon Pearl or other spiritual treasures, the reason they are so magical and can help cultivators build their foundation is because they carry the thoughts emitted by sentient beings, giving rise to boundless spirituality."

"Like dragons, they solidify dragon pearls or digest spiritual treasures. Their most common secret method is to 'walk the dragon,' which involves stirring up floods, creating disasters, generating fear, and gathering the thoughts of all living beings to achieve their own goals."

“I didn’t understand before, but now that I look back, I have a new understanding of the great flood in Qingyuan County. It was not a natural disaster, but someone was using this opportunity to gather the thoughts of all living beings and nurture spiritual treasures.”

"As for who made the move, it is most likely the Lu family. This is the reason why Lu Yongnian was able to break through to the Dao Foundation stage, and also the reason why the Lu family was destroyed."

With these thoughts colliding, the confusion that had been weighing on Jiang Chen's mind was resolved at that moment.

The situation in Qingyuan County at that time was not difficult to guess. What really blinded everyone was the information gap. In Nanjing Kingdom, the secret of the Dao Foundation was strictly controlled, and most cultivators had no opportunity to come into contact with it. Without knowing anything, everyone naturally could not see through the truth behind the fog.

"Activating spirituality in advance is very beneficial for the Mist Dragon. With this bit of spirituality, it shouldn't be long before the Mist Dragon advances to the Qi Refining Perfection stage. Of course, all of this is on the premise that my soul is strong enough to suppress the restlessness of my bloodline."

“Ordinary demons would be courting death by doing this. They would likely be devoured by a powerful bloodline and become a wild beast dominated by their savagery.”

Reflecting on his own body, Jiang Chen carefully sensed the changes in the dragon's form.

At this moment, although that bit of spirituality has subsided, its influence has not faded away. Compared to before, the activity level of the ascending cloud energy has increased by more than one level. More importantly, under the reflection of this bit of spirituality, the original acupoints and barriers seem to have weakened somewhat.

Although not many, they do exist. And in the past year or so, the Mist Dragon's cultivation has not stopped. With the help of its natal magic weapon, it has successfully raised its cultivation to ninety-nine apertures, which is slightly stronger than Jiang Chen's original body.

"Besides cultivation, the stimulation of my bloodline by spirituality has given me a deeper understanding of the core spells of the Mist Dragon. If I do it a few more times, I might be able to perfect the spells such as Mist Swamp and Cold Light."

Having understood all the changes, Jiang Chen was even more amazed by the mystery of spirituality.
