Shulong Daojun

Three hundred achievements are not so easy to accomplish.

Therefore, disciples of all lineages of Taoism would leave their sects at this time to travel the world and seek merit.

Or perhaps they would venture into the mortal world to slay demons and protect the people.

They would use human relationships to interact with the local deities and help them protect the land and water, and so on.

Regardless of the method, the goal is to accumulate merit while simultaneously practicing Taoist arts to acquire skills for self-defense.

Lin Shu also intends to do the same.

Although divine light can break through all laws with a single method, it is never a bad thing to have more means of protection.

However, he did not intend to practice asceticism, but rather wanted to take another path.

The Dragon Book records: "Shennong Master Laolongji, the key to attaining the Dao, Laolongji is Yinglong."

There is also a saying that "one should extract the dragon's energy to refine the omen."

Therefore, dragons can transmit the Dharma.

It does not preach through words or impart methods through oral instructions, but rather uses "Qi" as its medium.

If the dragon grants his request, he will bestow upon the Taoist his own Qi, and the Taoist method will naturally be formed.

The enlightenment gained through arduous practice is the right path.

But if there is a shortcut, taking it is not wrong.

If one could obtain a wisp of dragon energy from Zhuyin, one could not only learn his supernatural powers, but also gain insight into the Dao of turbid energy.

By comparing one's own cultivated pure energy with that of the other, one can advance the cultivation progress of the "Mysterious Female Dao One Mysterious Skill" through the changes between purity and turbidity.

Perhaps, it can even push the cultivation of divine light from the level of the hexagrams to the level of the sixty-four hexagrams in one fell swoop.

However, all of this is predicated on Zhuyin Ping'an attaining the Earthly Immortal rank.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu looked up at the dragon shadow in the sky.

At this moment, only one nine-year cycle remains in the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

It is formed by the interaction of purity and turbidity, giving rise to all things.

Its nature is extremely changeable and all-encompassing, therefore it is invincible.

Nine hazy bolts of lightning appeared and transformed in response to the dragon.

It may transform into the Peng bird, which feeds on dragons; or the Hou beast, which enjoys eating dragon brains; or the Azure Dragon of the East, belonging to the Qinglong family.

Each used their own methods, attacking one point on the dragon's body, and together they pounced on Zhuyin.

At that time, the heavens were awe-inspiring, the wind and clouds were turbulent, and torrential rain poured down.

The heavens and earth were filled with murderous intent; the time to slay the dragon had come.

However, this aroused the ferocity of Zhuyin.

Its dragon eyes widened, its five toes tightened, and it held a mouthful of turbid breath. With a twist of its dragon body, it soared upwards and arrived in front of the Peng bird in an instant.

Immediately, its claws shot out, gripping the roc's long neck, and it opened its mouth to pour a fierce, foul breath into the roc's head.

Before the roc could react, it took another big bite, swallowing the turbid breath and the remains of the body together, chewing them into fragments of lightning, and swallowing them down its stomach.

At that moment, the remaining eight mythical creatures, including the Hou beast and the Azure Dragon, arrived at Zhuyin's vicinity.

They either swallowed or bit, attacking the dragon's tail, spine, and belly, while thunderbolts crashed down, shattering the dragon's body into pieces, leaving no part intact.

Immediately afterwards, the scattered lightning suddenly solidified, transforming into eight thick lightning-patterned chains that stretched across the sky.

One end pierced into Zhuyin's body in an instant, while the other end wrapped around the eight elephants, including the Hou beast and the Azure Dragon, before suddenly retracting.

Immediately, the Hou beast leaped, the Azure Dragon flew... each of the eight elephants moved in its own direction.

They actually intended to dismember Zhuyin alive!

At that moment, a sense of chaos appeared in Zhuyin Long's eyes, and a surge of powerful demonic energy suddenly erupted from his body.

The lightning-patterned chains then spread directly to the eight mythical creatures, including the Hou beast and the Azure Dragon.

In the next instant, the five elements were reversed and the five vital energies were out of balance.

Thunder is imbued with the vital energy of heaven and earth, hence the name "Five Thunders".

The Five Thunders are born from the Yin and Yang energies and formed by the Five Elements.

When the Five Elements are in disorder, the Five Qi are out of balance, and the Five Thunders will lose their order.

Although Heavenly Thunder is the foremost of the Five Thunders, it is no exception.

But then the eight mythical creatures, including the Hou beast and the Azure Dragon, suddenly trembled. Their bodies, formed from lightning, flickered between light and shadow, and their forms gradually became blurred.

Then, the lightning dissipated, and the claws, tail, and other parts of the beast gradually turned into scattered lightning bolts.

Seeing this, Zhuyin nodded with his dragon head, his eyes filled with joy. He then looked around and finally settled on the Azure Dragon.

It hooked its claws onto a lightning-patterned chain, dragged it close, and then bit off its body, holding it in its mouth.

After taking another bite, the azure dragon formed from the heavenly lightning had already dissipated.

One elephant had already been swallowed, and the remaining seven elephants met the same fate, falling into the belly of the Candle Shadow one after another, allowing it to let out a satisfied burp.

At this point, all twenty-seven bolts of heavenly lightning had passed, and the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was clearly over, and the heavens and earth responded accordingly.

In an instant, a strong wind arose, the storm clouds dispersed, the heavy rain stopped abruptly, and a sliver of light slowly appeared in the sky.

Before dawn, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the Candle Dragon's body, carrying a sense of approval.

At the same time, the Dao light condensed into characters, reflecting in its heart—

"The demon without rank is now granted the title of Earth Immortal of the Turbid Path, and enters the final path."

Zhuyin sneezed and shook his head uninterestedly.

He then briefly realized his own situation and felt both happy and somewhat dissatisfied.

Although the Heavenly Tribulation has passed, the Dragon Transformation has been completed, and the Earth Immortal rank has been attained, the immense essence that he had refined within his body has been almost completely exhausted.

Therefore, the wounds on the dragon's body cannot heal quickly at this moment.

How can I face going back?

How can I show off my power in front of that hateful green dragon and let that little brother see how great I am, so that it knows how powerful I am?

It's still a dragon that hasn't yet transformed into a dragon, hahahaha—

Zhu Yin was secretly delighted, but on his face, his dragon eyes were fixed, and he stared coldly ahead, exuding an air of imposing authority.

However, this joy did not last long before it was shattered by several undisguised expressions of greed.

On the ground, the demonic immortals saw that Zhu Yin was covered in wounds and his dragon body was broken. Their eyes turned red and their breathing became rapid.

What a murky dragon! Excellent!

To attain the Earth Immortal rank is already excellent, but to be severely injured and on the verge of death is even more wondrous!

Otherwise, how would we have the opportunity to capture him and become his master?

They witnessed the entire Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation firsthand, and they knew that if they were in that situation, they wouldn't be confident they could survive it safely.

Therefore, if the turbid dragon passes through safely and is in good condition, one should step forward with a smile, congratulate it as a "fellow Daoist," establish a good relationship, and then proceed with careful planning.

But it looks so badly injured right now...

What kind of fellow Daoist are you? Obediently become our servants!

Thinking of this, the group of demonic immortals could not contain themselves. After exchanging glances, they all rode their escape lights into the sky and instantly arrived in front of Zhuyin.

Immediately, he secretly withdrew some of his strength, and at the same time raised his hand to unleash a spell, with various magical powers such as the World-Burning Calamity Fire and the Annihilation and Decay appearing in a thunderous roar.

Although they all belong to the turbid path, they originate from the four lineages of the Demonic Sect: Chiming, Kaihuang, Yankang, and Shanghuang, each governing the turbid principles of different stages of the era.

Zhuyin immediately flew into a rage, roared, and a fierce, turbid breath surged from its dragon body, like mist and armor, protecting its entire body.

Immediately, the dragon's body soared and charged straight in, neither dodging nor avoiding, directly crashing into the sky full of magical spells.

Upon contact, the magic was largely neutralized by the armor formed from the turbid breath.

Since they both originate from the same impure path, the harm they suffer is naturally limited.

As for the remaining techniques...

Zhuyin neither flinched nor avoided it; it opened its mouth and inhaled, and the contents were completely absorbed into its mouth, becoming nourishing substances, just like a clay ox entering the sea.

Its dragon eyes narrowed slightly as it gazed at the group of unfamiliar earth immortals before it, a cold light flashing in its eyes.

Anyone who dares to delay his return to Lin Shu's side is courting death!
