From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

Chapter 154 White Crocodile Foundation Building

Mu'e remembered this female crocodile, who seemed even more ferocious than herself, and prepared to give her a higher status and train her after confirming her loyalty.

If a male crocodile had shown such potential, Mu'e might have simply allowed it to struggle within the group in a normal manner.

But this is a female crocodile.

In her view, this group belongs to Li Yi, and all the female crocodiles that show great potential will become Li Yi's mates once they grow up.

Everything will only change if a crocodile of equal cultivation defeats Li Yi in a one-on-one fight against its own kind.

This is the naked rule among beasts: power determines everything.

However, she had followed Li Yi for a very long time, second only to Bai Mang, and knew clearly in her heart how powerful Li Yi was.

No crocodile demon could defeat Li Yi at the same level, not even if they were a level higher, such as the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

After the struggle ended, the strong female crocodile slowly opened her eyes. Her brownish-yellow pupils were gone, replaced by a yellowish-green color, making her look extremely eerie.

Mu'e didn't know exactly what the fruit was, but he could sense that its quality had reached the limit of the Qi Refining stage, enough to change the future of a crocodile.

Now, a crocodile has caught it.

The mother crocodile immediately met Mu'e's gaze and bowed her head slightly in submission.

Within this group, the crocodile king, who had never appeared, did not inspire much respect in it. Instead, it was Mu'e and Shiyan who led the entire group.

It would naturally submit to Mu'e.

Seeing this, Mu'e nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, and a gust of green wind swept the mother crocodile up and brought her to the outside of the White Jade Palace.

Shi Yan also appeared nearby, observing the excessively strong female crocodile with great interest.

During her Qi Refining stage, she was a naturally strong yellow-scaled crocodile. With her pure bloodline, she could overwhelm most of her companions with her physical strength and magical power.

But this female crocodile with mixed bloodlines embarked on a path of proactive body tempering.

She had tried this path before, but it was too painful, which is why she gave up.

Looking into the mother crocodile's firm yet cold eyes, Shi Yan felt a genuine sense of agreement.

"How is it? That fruit should be a combination of swamp wood and swamp soil, probably created by a special fusion method," Mu'e asked in a low voice.

"Hehe, indeed, it's perfect. Everything is just right. It has unlimited potential and is worth nurturing." Shi Yan looked down at it, very satisfied with the mother crocodile's attitude, and expressed his approval.

Afterwards, the two women ordered the mother crocodile to patrol around the Jade Palace, allowing them to cultivate closely and more quickly comprehend the swamp's energy.

As night fell, Mu'e didn't intend to return to the White Jade Palace. Instead, he went to the plum tree, sensed the white python's aura, and slowly closed his eyes.

Inside the White Jade Hall.

A steady, soft white light faintly illuminated everything. Li Yi looked at the white crocodile in front of him and began to guide it to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the center of the Jade Palace, a mirror-like black scale appeared between Li Yi's eyebrows, gradually illuminating the brilliant moonlight and twilight glow within.

These two shimmering energies intertwined, forming a lifelike phantom image of the sun and moon.

Their true forms reside within the clear and turbid world within Li Yi's body, where the chaotic sky should originally have one moon shadow and three sun shadows.

What is being projected now is only a small part of it.

But for the white crocodile, this is all that it has cultivated so far, and it is the root of its foundation building.

As the illusory shadows of the sun and moon rotated, a beam of light shone on the white crocodile, making its snow-white scales gleam.

The white crocodile sensed this power that slightly contradicted its own principles, and immediately closed its pale golden eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

Li Yi sensed the changes within its body. With a thought, the beam of light shone even brighter, forcibly correcting the Dao within the white crocodile's body.

In fact, with the blessing of the pure and turbid heaven and earth, Li Yi had a very high vision, and the Dao he evolved using the two powers was perfect.

On the contrary, the Dao that the white crocodile had cultivated in a daze all along had become flawed.

This oversight is fatal.

Crocodiles capable of cultivating both the light of the sun and the moon are extremely rare, and those who succeed are even rarer. If the white crocodile had not met Li Yi, it would probably have failed in its foundation-building attempt.

As the two forces gradually merged, the white crocodile opened its eyes again. Its two pale golden eyes shimmered with spiritual light, forming a crescent moon and a golden sunset.

A mysterious aura rippled outwards, immediately alerting Shi Yan, who was within it, to something.

The white crocodile stared wide-eyed at the dome of the Jade Palace, its body shimmering with light, and the phantoms of the sun and moon intersecting.

It has begun to lay its foundation.

At this moment, within Li Yi's world of clarity and turbidity, a waning moon and a setting sun were separated and began to gradually perfect under his deduction.

The waning moon gathered its light, its power steadily increasing until it finally reached a state of perfection.

The setting sun continuously absorbs the other two types of rosy light, eventually forming a sun high in the sky, radiating incandescent light that is dazzlingly bright.

After this cycle of the sun and moon reached its complete form, they eventually rotated in turn, bursting forth with boundless light for an extremely brief moment before transforming back into a shimmering stream of pure energy.

This is the path the White Crocodile takes after establishing his foundation; Li Yi has already glimpsed a small part of it.

As for what happens after the sun and moon revolve—that's the Golden Core stage, which is something Li Yi is not currently qualified to evolve into or even glimpse.

As the illusory image of the sun and moon dissipated, Li Yi expanded his divine sense, scanning the entire ever-expanding and contracting world of clear and turbid energy.

Pure air gives birth to the sun and moon, while turbid air gives birth to the marshland. This world is still in its embryonic stage, and many wonders have never been discovered.

As time went by, Li Yi gradually realized that his path was too grand and complicated, and the road ahead was so confusing that he could not see the end of it.

After a while, Li Yi opened his eyes, looked at the white crocodile who was about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, turned around and left, sealing off the central area of ​​the White Jade Palace.

In three months, the bloodworm grass has been successfully transplanted by Mu'e and a garden has been established outside, with a steady stream of bloodworm grass being sent here.

Li Yi watched as the last batch of spirit insects completed their metamorphosis, becoming larger, stronger, and more intelligent, and his heart became peaceful.

After their complete transformation, their reproductive ability seemed to have been affected by the trace of dragon blood within the Bloodworm Grass, and it decreased significantly.

It may be many years before they can reproduce to a scale that satisfies Li Yi and begin a new breeding cycle.

However, for him now, what do a few years, a dozen years, or even decades mean?
