Chapter 494 The True Dragon Loves Water
Above the heavens, transformed into a true dragon, Jiang Chen traversed freely.

"The bloodline of the True Dragon Clan is powerful, and they are naturally drawn to water. Even with the changes in the world, this characteristic of theirs has never completely disappeared."

Exhaling to form clouds, waving claws to bring rain, Jiang Chen carefully felt his own true dragon body.

He cultivated the Heavenly Gang True Form and comprehended the Transformation of the True Dragon. This transformation was not only a change in appearance but also in essence. At this moment, he truly possessed a part of the essence of the True Dragon, and it was precisely because of this that he received a great boost in water magic.

The saying "True dragons are near water" is not just a saying. Although there are many branches of the true dragon bloodline in the world, and some of them have mastered other powers, the most fundamental power of the true dragon race is still water. This is engraved in their bloodline and even in the world, and it is difficult to change.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, the waterways between heaven and earth were controlled by true dragons. In that era, only true dragons could cultivate profound water techniques and comprehend the Great Dao of Water. Any other creature that dared to tread this path would surely bring disaster upon itself."

"In retrospect, this statement may not be without reason."

With a whoosh, Jiang Chen inhaled deeply, swallowing the storm in one gulp. In an instant, the clouds dispersed, and golden sunlight streamed down.

"The transformation of the True Dragon into a powerful force not only brought me tremendous water magic enhancement, but also further strengthened my physical body. With my current physique, I am probably no less than some Purple Mansion Demon Kings."

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen stretched out his dragon claw and grabbed hard.

With a tearing sound, like ripping silk, as Jiang Chen's claws fell, a hole was ripped open in the void, revealing the dark, boundless void behind it.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen had a rough estimate of his own strength.

Because of the Taihua Supporting Heaven Secret Manual, he had touched upon the existence of the power of the Great Void ahead of time, but he could only sense it. At this moment, he was able to tear apart the Great Void, not because of any enlightenment, but simply because of the power.

Among water-based creatures, dragons possess the greatest strength. In addition to water magic, the true dragon race is also extremely skilled in physical strength, and only a very few other beings can rival them.

"I have now surpassed the Dao Foundation level in every aspect. With the support of the special power of Gang Qi, I can even compete with the Purple Mansion with my strong physique. However, it is still not easy to win."

“The Purple Mansion is precious, and the most important aspect of it is the True Meaning, which is a power that I do not yet have mastered. The Qi can make up for some of my disadvantages, but it cannot truly replace the True Meaning.”

"The combination of the twelve true forms into one, the True Dragon Transformation, is already a true treasure technique and divine power. Theoretically, it can help me grasp the true meaning of water element. However, all of this is based on the premise that I myself cultivate the Purple Mansion and master the true meaning of transformation. Only in this way can I use the divine power to simulate the true meaning of water element of the true dragon with the true meaning of transformation."

With a thought, Jiang Chen smoothed out the torn void.

"I need to devise a plan regarding the true meaning of transformation and the earthly treasure. The true dragon horn does contain some profound mysteries of transformation, and the Dragon Transformation Technique itself is a kind of transformation divine power. However, the true dragon horn is ultimately just a special treasure and cannot replace a true earthly treasure for me to break through to the Purple Mansion."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen turned and left as the dragon's body swam away.

He had been searching for Earth Treasures, but had not found any information. Earth Treasures were extremely rare, and once they were discovered, they would be immediately collected and would never be released. Not to mention Earth Treasures that required specific Transformation True Meaning.

Of course, he wasn't in a hurry about this. After all, once he achieved the true inheritance, he would have the opportunity to obtain a suitable treasure from the sect. The three great inheritances of the Impermanence Sect are all related to change, so naturally there are such treasures.

Deep within the Burial Sand Lake, Jiang Chen, transformed into a true dragon, quietly returns.

"The True Dragon Transformation is complete. Now we can take advantage of this transformation to further refine our physique and temper our Qi. At the same time, we can also try to refine the True Dragon Horn and use it as the main material to combine with the Flood Dragon Water-Covering Armor. This will lay a good foundation for the Flood Dragon Water-Covering Armor to be upgraded to a treasure. After all, this spiritual artifact is the Mist Flood Dragon's natal magic weapon and has extraordinary significance."

Coiled like a snake, Jiang Chen removed the dragon horns from his head and exhaled a breath of dragon breath, silently refining his power. As Jiang Chen's dragon returned to silence, the strange phenomena near Lanyun City gradually subsided. However, some subtle changes began to occur. Under the influence of Jiang Chen's aura, spirit fish in the Burial Sand Lake continuously awakened their dragon blood and leaped into dragon form.

Although the blood of these dragon species is generally very thin, they still possess their own unique qualities.

On the other side, sensing the true dragon aura emanating from Jiang Chen, Rat Tianjiao felt fear almost instinctively. True dragons are the absolute superior beings among all demons, and the appearance of a true dragon often makes all beasts submit.

But at that moment, a strange power emanated from the depths of Rat Pride's bloodline, shielding it from the invisible dragon's might.

"Our lord is becoming more and more terrifying."

Shaking his head, Rat Pride suppressed his fear.

"My lord's supernatural powers have been perfected, but now he is still missing a celestial sword to match him. I shall forge this sword for my lord."

With a sudden thought, Rat Pride turned his gaze to the Gold-Melting Furnace that was right in front of him.

At this moment, the Gold-Melting Furnace is suspended in mid-air, with golden spiritual fire rising wildly, constantly evolving the profound mysteries of gold melting and refining. As a result, the originally hard Great Evolution True Gold has turned into a liquid state.

Seeing this scene, Rat Tianjiao's eyes flickered.

"The Great Evolution True Gold has reached the required level of refinement. The next step is to smelt other precious ores to refine the true Spiritual Gold."

With a solemn expression, Rat Pride waved his paw and threw eight kinds of ores into the Gold Melting Furnace. These eight kinds of ores were of different grades, some were third-grade, some were second-grade, and some were first-grade. Their only common point was that they all had a certain resonance with the Great Evolution True Gold.

Whoosh! The golden spiritual fire surged, instantly enveloping the nine kinds of metal ores, including the Great Evolution True Gold.

"This time, I must refine the Spirit Gold for my master and forge a Divine Soul Sword Embryo."

With one step, Rat Prodigy unleashed the full power of his bloodline.

At this moment, its entire focus was on the melting process.

As time went by, its mental and physical strength deteriorated, and it gradually began to feel weak. However, its faith was as firm as a mountain, unbreakable and unmovable, and it never stopped its actions.

And when it was about to give up, that mysterious power reappeared, nourishing its bloodline and giving it the possibility to continue.

"Golden Spirit Blood..."

With a sudden realization, Rat Pride became even more immersed in refining the artifact. Unbeknownst to him, his aura gradually merged with the superior-grade treasure, the Gold Furnace, and they became one.

At this moment, the divine manifested itself, and nine different minerals began to slowly fuse together, giving birth to an extraordinary spirituality.
