Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 608 202 The Dragon and Human Do Not Form Close Bonds_2

The Old Dragon King glanced at Wang Mu. "You, a mere little cultivator, are unfamiliar with the situation in my Dragon Palace. Even if I explained it, you would be utterly confused. Therefore, if you marry my daughter and become the Prince Consort of my Dragon Palace, you will naturally obtain whatever you desire."

"Otherwise…"

Otherwise, he would be out of options.

"Why are you so set on Ao Qing?" Wang Mu pondered. The Old Dragon King is so knowledgeable; one look and you'd know he must have more than one child...

"Because Ao Qing's bloodline is the purest..." The Old Dragon King's expression turned serious. "The other children... hmm... are slightly inferior, and my Dragon Clan highly values bloodline purity. Think about it, why did Great Immortal Bi You accept only Ao Qing as a Registered Disciple? That Great Immortal doesn't take many disciples. Isn't it because Qing'er's bloodline is the purest?"

Wang Mu nodded. He didn't understand much about the Dragon Clan.

"Won't combining with humans dilute your Dragon Clan's bloodline?" Wang Mu asked, puzzled.

"It's not that we *want* to combine with humans..." The Old Dragon King coughed. "It's that we have no other choice. Most other Dragon Clan members are already married. Those with pure Dragon Clan bloodlines are mostly from the older generation; the younger generation was married off quite early."

"Actually, there's nothing inherently wrong with the Human Clan's bloodline," the Old Dragon King stated. "Although the Human Clan's bloodline may seem ordinary, it is like the ocean that accepts all rivers—it doesn't cause dilution. At least, it's not like the bloodlines of other Sea Clan spirits, which, when mixed with ours, produce offspring of strange and bizarre forms."

"Humans are also living beings of this world. Though the bloodlines of you cultivators are difficult to pass down, you have already shed your mortal forms and transcended the ordinary."

"To be frank, the first time I saw you, little cultivator, I sensed that your bloodline was exceptionally special."

"Your constitution must be extraordinary."

What an eye for talent the Old Dragon King had!

Wang Mu's path of body refining was far from ordinary. He had progressed from the one hundred layers of the Hundred Refinement Body Technique to the Acquired Physique achieved through the Upper Heaven Energy Introduction Technique, then the Superior Pure Spirit Body. Finally, upon fulfilling the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, his constitution had already surpassed that of a normal human.

Furthermore, he had cultivated several types of Golden Cores and been baptized by various potent forces. Consequently, not even Nascent Soul Cultivators possessed his kind of constitution, let alone Golden Core cultivators.

"Moreover, by combining with the Human Clan's bloodline, there's a not insignificant probability that my Dragon Clan can produce pure-blooded offspring," the Old Dragon King said, looking like someone who had thoroughly researched the matter.

"When combining with other Sea Clan spirits, the probability is much lower, and the bloodline is more easily muddled."

"Of course, inheritance probability is highest with a pure True Dragon Bloodline. But, as I mentioned, there are no suitable candidates of the right age."

Now that the Old Dragon King had explained the reasons and consequences, Wang Mu understood.

"But can the Dragon Clan truly produce offspring with the Human Clan?" Wang Mu asked.

That fish had already been sent off... Logically, there should be reproductive isolation, right?

"Under normal circumstances, naturally, they cannot," the Old Dragon King said with a smile. "However, our Dragon Clan's bloodline is special... When we combine with any race, there's a chance of producing offspring... To unite with the Human Clan, one merely needs to attain a human form. Then, by transforming into a dragon and ingesting the pearl, after several years of gestation, a Dragon Son can be born."

"..." Wang Mu.

What a tall tale. No wonder they were the Dragon Clan.

"Uhm, I would like to go take a look at the Sea Abyss..." Wang Mu hesitated.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Old Dragon King stared at him in shock.

"Little cultivator, what is this..." The Old Dragon King sized him up and down as if seeing him for the first time. "What, are you tired of living?"

"Child, even for the Five-Colored Divine Gold, you don't need to do this..." the middle-aged woman beside him advised. "If something happens to you in our Dragon Palace, that old ancestor will blame us... We simply cannot afford to offend her."

I suspect that beneath that Sea Abyss of yours, there might be a Heavenly Demon, Wang Mu thought to himself.

From the Sea Dragon King's description, Wang Mu suspected it sounded quite like a Heavenly Demon—a Wang Lao. He had learned about such creatures during his time in the Immortal Mansion. They were said to be ancient beings living in the sea, capable of controlling the power of the ocean. Simultaneously, they could wield the power of the dead, reviving ancient creatures for their own use.

In the cultivation world, there was also the so-called Corpse Refining path, which was similar. However, this path was typically followed by cultivators on the Evil Path. How could they have reached the Dragon Palace's territory? Moreover, venturing so deep into the sea would likely be beyond their abilities.

The beings in the Sea Abyss were deceased members of the Dragon Clan. For them to possess such capabilities, combined with his previous encounter with a Heavenly Demon in Li State, Wang Mu was reasonably confident that a Heavenly Demon was causing the trouble. With the Old Dragon King's cultivation, even within the sea, he was unable to sense this entity. This was very similar to the previous situation at the Tianlu Temple in Li State.

Seeing their doubt, Wang Mu briefly explained the matter of the Heavenly Demon.

"Heavenly Demon?" The Old Dragon King pondered, evidently hearing about it for the first time.

"That's right..." Wang Mu nodded. "I've dealt with such a troublesome monster before in Li State. If you don't believe me, you can inquire at the Tianlu Temple in Li State. Information about Heavenly Demons comes from the Ancient Immortal Mansion, which opened in the Great Wilderness after the battle of the Heavenly Prides."

"It's not just me who knows. There are two cultivators outside who also entered the Immortal Mansion back then. You can ask them as well."

Wang Mu was referring to Yu Tianshu and Dao Xuan, who were outside. They too had been to the Immortal Mansion and had left their names at that particular trial. Of course, they hadn't left as many as Wang Mu and didn't know as much about Heavenly Demons.

However, the Heavenly Demon Gujia was one of the earlier figures encountered there. It was likely that many of the Heavenly Prides who entered the Immortal Mansion had left their names on that statue and would therefore have some understanding.

The Old Dragon King nodded to the middle-aged woman beside him.
