Chapter 506: Bearing the Poise of a Great Emperor!
The major families were incredibly shocked upon hearing the news. Ye Ruxue—it was her! They knew Ye Ruxue was a genius, but they never expected her talent to be so astonishing as to trigger such a celestial phenomenon. It was truly unimaginable. Is the Ye Family about to rise? They were utterly envious.
At the top floor of the Mist Rain Pavilion, a middle-aged man in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. Witnessing the celestial phenomenon, he sighed with emotion. "The Ye Family has indeed produced an extraordinary person!"
At this moment, a white-robed youth also arrived on the rooftop. Turning his back to the world below, he proudly declared, "At the martial peak, I overlook the world. Where I, Chen Changsheng, stand, there is the sky!"
The middle-aged man’s face darkened. He said coldly, "You little rascal. Being so arrogant outside, you must get beaten up a lot, right?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Who would dare to beat me?" the white-robed youth snorted. "I am destined to stand at the peak of the Martial Dao. Who would dare to touch me?"
This youth was none other than Chen Changsheng, and the middle-aged man was his father, the Pavilion Master of the Mist Rain Pavilion.
The Pavilion Master said irritably, "You still want to stand at the peak of the Martial Dao? Stop dreaming. Can you trigger a celestial phenomenon? Look at the Ye Family! All four Divine Beasts have descended. What kind of genius must that person be? Compared to that genius from the Ye Family, you are far too inferior."
"What?" Chen Changsheng was incredibly shocked. This time, he didn’t keep his back to the world; he turned to look into the distance and saw the phantoms of the Four Divine Beasts.
He exclaimed, "Impossible! There’s actually someone on Dragon Island whose talent surpasses mine? What a joke!"
"Wait, Dad, you mentioned the Ye Family... could it be that guy?" Chen Changsheng frowned, his thoughts turning to Lin Xuan. That guy is so mysterious and eccentric... could he have triggered this celestial phenomenon?
The Pavilion Master said, "This phenomenon was caused by Ye Ruxue of the Ye Family. She isn’t very old, and she’s quite beautiful. How about I go and propose a marriage for you?"
"What? Ye Ruxue?" Chen Changsheng was shocked to hear the name. He said, "Impossible, there must be a mistake. It should have been that guy who triggered the celestial phenomenon. It wasn’t Ye Ruxue."
"Which guy?"
"The one I told you about before, the guy who went to the Dragon Abyss with me. His name is Lin Xuan. This celestial phenomenon must have been triggered by him."
"Him? Are you sure?" The Master of the Mist Rain Pavilion was skeptical. He figured Chen Changsheng was probably just making up a lie because he didn’t want to marry Ye Ruxue.
Meanwhile, at the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion, its members also witnessed the celestial phenomenon and were extremely shocked. When they learned that the phenomenon had originated from the Ye Family, they immediately grew excited.
"Has the Young Master returned to the Ye Family?"
"He has! This phenomenon must have been triggered by the Young Master."
When they received news that the phenomenon was actually caused by Ye Ruxue, the people of the Dragon-Seeking Pavilion were furious.
"Nonsense!"
"Ridiculous!"
"Who does Ye Ruxue think she is? How could she possibly trigger such a celestial phenomenon?"
"Only a peerless prodigy like our Young Master could trigger such a formidable celestial phenomenon!"
"Exactly! The Young Master can even control the Divine Sword. Summoning the Four Divine Beasts would be a piece of cake for him."
They refused to believe a word of the Ye Family’s claims.
At the Fang Family estate, the crowd was also abuzz with discussion. Was the Ye Family about to rise? By producing such a genius, they could probably enter the ranks of first-class families within a few decades. It was truly unbelievable.
Fang Cangsong, in particular, was frowning deeply. No, I have to act against the Ye Family quickly. If they are truly allowed to rise, it will be troublesome in the future.
A festive atmosphere prevailed throughout the Ye Family estate. Madam Ye was preparing to hold a grand banquet to celebrate properly once Ye Ruxue emerged.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan was equally excited. He had finally broken through to become a Grandmaster. Now he could obtain the first treasure left behind by his ancestor. I wonder what it is?
Lin Xuan looked towards the large black dog and eagerly said, "Can I receive the first treasure now?"
"You may." The large black dog waved its paw, and a Treasure Chest flew out. This Treasure Chest was incredibly radiant, wreathed in multicolored light that formed a giant seal.
The large black dog said, "Display your Grandmaster cultivation, and you can open this seal."
Lin Xuan walked over and released his cultivation. The seal quickly broke, and the Treasure Chest opened with it. Lin Xuan immediately looked inside and discovered three brilliant, dazzling clusters of light.
The large black dog said, "Each cluster of light contains a treasure."
Lin Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this. Three treasures? That’s fantastic!
He picked up one of the light clusters. As he held it, the light slowly faded, and an object emerged. It was an ancient book upon which several large characters were written in a flamboyant style: "True Dragon Nine Transformations!"
Lin Xuan curiously opened it and was immediately captivated by its contents. When he finished reading, he was incredibly excited. The True Dragon Nine Transformations was a soul cultivation technique. After mastering it, his soul could transform nine times. Each metamorphosis would make his soul stronger, allowing for a better fusion with the Dragon Souls within the Extreme Path Myriad Dragons Diagram. It was said that after nine transformations, one could fully integrate with a Dragon Soul and transform into a true dragon!
The large black dog explained from the side, "This True Dragon Nine Transformations is the soul cultivation technique that accompanies the Extreme Path Myriad Dragons Diagram. Once you’ve mastered it, your power will be even greater. The Dragon Souls you summon will then be able to fuse not only with your Myriad Dragons Body but also with your very soul. The abilities you’ll be able to display will be even more formidable."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan clenched his fists in excitement. He was determined to practice the True Dragon Nine Transformations!
But then he remembered something. He asked, "I practiced the Great Derivation Technique before. That won’t affect my cultivation of the True Dragon Nine Transformations, will it?"
The large black dog laughed. "You don’t need to worry. Soul cultivation techniques, like other martial arts, can be practiced individually, or you can cultivate several techniques together. However, you must focus on one as your primary. From now on, use the True Dragon Nine Transformations as your main technique and the Great Derivation Technique as a supplementary one."
So that’s how it is. Lin Xuan understood and was completely relieved.
He soon picked up the second cluster of light, curious about what was inside. The contents were quickly revealed: two items, a gourd and a scroll.
When the gourd was opened, it was found to contain one hundred elixirs. Each one was the size of a dragon’s eye and exuded a rich fragrance. Lin Xuan took a single sniff and felt his soul become incredibly refreshed, as if every pore in his body was opening. This is really good stuff!
He then unrolled the scroll and discovered it recorded a pill recipe. The elixir was named the Ascending Dragon Pill. It was a type of soul-based elixir, and specifically, it was the soul elixir required for cultivating the True Dragon Nine Transformations.
The large black dog said, "There are many types of soul elixirs, but the Great Emperor specifically created one called the Ascending Dragon Pill. This elixir is the most compatible with the True Dragon Nine Transformations. When you cultivate the True Dragon Nine Transformations, taking Ascending Dragon Pills will grant you the best effect. The one hundred elixirs in that gourd are Ascending Dragon Pills. After you use them up, you can try refining them yourself."
So that’s how it works! Lin Xuan had a sudden realization. He then asked, "What grade is this Ascending Dragon Pill?"
Lin Xuan was currently a fourth-grade Alchemy Master. If this elixir was fourth-grade or lower, he could refine it. If it was too high-grade, he wouldn’t be able to yet.
The large black dog explained, "The grade of the Ascending Dragon Pill isn’t fixed. It can be a third-grade elixir or a ninth-grade elixir."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xuan was stunned. Can the grade of an elixir change at will? That’s impossible.
The large black dog said, "It’s because the primary ingredient for refining the Ascending Dragon Pill is the Dragon Crystal. Dragon Crystals have different qualities, and the grade of the Dragon Crystal determines the grade of the Ascending Dragon Pill."
So that’s how it is. Lin Xuan understood. That meant he should be able to refine a fourth-grade Ascending Dragon Pill now.
I wonder what the third treasure is? Lin Xuan picked up the last cluster of light. Inside was a jade pendant. The pendant depicted a flying dragon so lifelike it seemed ready to fly out at any moment.
"This is the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant, a Life-Saving Talisman," the large black dog explained from the side. "When you encounter danger, the pendant will save your life. No matter what kind of danger you face, this jade pendant can save your life. But it can only be used once."
A life-saving item! Lin Xuan was overjoyed and carefully put it away. The three treasures his ancestor had left for him were each exceedingly precious. Any one of them, if revealed, could set the world ablaze.
Afterward, Lin Xuan didn’t leave immediately. He prepared to cultivate the True Dragon Nine Transformations. He sat cross-legged and began to circulate the soul technique recorded in the book. At the same time, he took an Ascending Dragon Pill from the gourd and consumed it.
「Three days later.」
Lin Xuan’s soul had transformed into a miniature dragon. Although its form was very blurry, it already had the initial shape of a dragon. At the moment his soul became a dragon, a resonant roar erupted from within him.
This dragon roar startled Dragon Island. In the next moment, streams of dragon energy from all corners of the island soared into the sky, converging rapidly over the Ye Family estate. They gathered above the estate, forming the phantom image of a Divine Dragon.
The people of the Ye Family were shocked.
Another celestial phenomenon!
This time, it was a Divine Dragon phenomenon!
This Ye Ruxue is too incredible! She’s caused a second phenomenon!
The Ye Family members were stunned. Madam Ye laughed heartily, "It’s my daughter, Ye Ruxue, who created the phenomenon again! Hahahaha, my daughter has the bearing of a Great Emperor!"
