Free Web NovelChapter 270: Chapter 250: Transform into a Dragon, Ancestral Dragon Beizhu, Beyond the High Wall
"The sky is also a wondrous world of the sea? Dragon Gate?"
Ning Xunqiu pondered.
The Sea Heaven Realm is probably the world of the Dragon Race, with no continents or other races present.
In the past, a bit of Fortune opened up a new world, rewriting his life, and he was unfortunately reincarnated as a newly born small fish in the "Sea Heaven Realm."
It was practically a hellish beginning.
He gritted his teeth, wanting to use Fortune to change his identity, but he couldn’t; this was a predetermined reality!
Helping a small fish required permanent Fortune, and how could a fish cultivate the "Innate Purple Mist Skill" created specifically for the Human Race? To avoid wasting his hard-earned Fortune, he decisively opened a new world.
But could this "Sea Heaven Realm" resolve the predicament back then?
To leap over the Dragon Gate?
Ning Xunqiu remained silent for a moment, choosing not to use Fortune to rewrite the life of the "small fish." Instead, he looked at the Celestial Derivation Volume with curiosity, wanting to see how his initial self would choose.
...
[I stood in the Sea of Heaven, gazing up at the "Dragon Gate." A gut instinct arose within me; as an Aquatic Race member, once I surpass the Dragon Gate, I could transform into the "Dragon Species," perhaps even into a "True Dragon"!]
[My body was drawn by the Dragon Gate, swimming upwards involuntarily. The magnificent Dragon Gate seemed to be on the horizon, yet no matter how I swam, the distance remained unchanged.]
[I continued swimming upwards, suddenly finding myself amidst a dense throng of the Aquatic Race. We resembled a "starry river wave." I attempted to communicate with them, but they seemed like mere "echoes," unable to hear my calls, only rushing toward the Dragon Gate.]
[I was initially baffled.]
[Until I swam a bit further, some of the Aquatic Race along the way ran out of strength. They gazed at the unreachable Dragon Gate, stopped, and wanted to turn back, only managing to let out a wail before their bodies struggled madly, turning into strands of "light," surging into the Dragon Gate.]
[A chill ran down my spine; this was a road of no return.]
[I didn’t know how long I’d been swimming. Suddenly, the Sea of Heaven became extremely perilous, with wind, fire, thunder, and lightning striking from above. Dodging them was impossible, leading to ashes and smoke, or plunging into pitch darkness, where an involuntary glance back meant instant death and dissolution of the Dao.]
[As a human, I realized these were the tribulations one must endure to surpass the Dragon Gate.]
[The surrounding Aquatic Race gradually thinned out, disappearing one by one in this ruthless trial. Amidst the vast heavens and earth, a red fish swam tirelessly toward the unreachable end of the Sea of Heaven - the Dragon Gate.]
[My body suddenly sank as a tremendous pressure surged in, as though the entire world was pulling me down. I knew I was finally nearing the Dragon Gate bit by bit.]
[I don’t know how much time passed; it felt like an instant.]
[In my relentless swimming, my body crossed the boundary in a flash, swelling abruptly, then swiftly elongating, trailing behind a dazzling and magnificent red tail.]
[I felt a sudden relief, looking at myself, measuring about five or six zhang...I had crossed the Dragon Gate, evolving into a dragon, yet without claws, horns, or whiskers.]
[I am a dragon fish!]
Truly over the Dragon Gate, transformed into a dragon!
So simple?
Ning Xunqiu stared at the words of the Celestial Derivation Volume, somewhat puzzled.
A thought crossed his mind as he searched the present Sea Heaven Realm.
Celestial Dao response.
[Sea Heaven Realm, does not exist.]
Ning Xunqiu frowned slightly.
The world of the Dragon Race is currently not within the Cyan Heaven Realm?
Not a predetermined reality.
...
[After transforming into a dragon, my body turned into a crimson rainbow, shooting toward the Dragon Gate. Boom! With a loud bang, the Dragon Gate dissipated. When I reopened my eyes, I gazed down at the tranquil ocean below, as if everything just now was merely an illusion.]
["Little fish, your spirituality is remarkable. What is your name?" At this moment, a voice I could understand echoed from the horizon, coming from a Primordial Spirit.]
[I looked up toward the head covering the Sea of Heaven; its antlers like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, ears like a bull - these features, it was a True Dragon!!]
[The True Dragon was astounded, seriously observing the patch of red within the azure pearl in its claw. This was a small fish that underwent no cultivation, yet before its eyes, it surpassed the Dragon Gate in one go, transforming into the Dragon Species.]
[Comparable to a mortal ascending to heaven.]
[Even a flood dragon, second only to a "True Dragon," cannot guarantee transformation after surpassing the Dragon Gate.]
[I looked at the size difference between myself and this True Dragon; its true form was even larger than the world itself, holding the entire ocean world within its claws. Am I just in a "fish tank"?]
["I also want to become a fish larger than the world!" I shouted.]
["Hahahaha," the True Dragon laughed heartily, causing the azure sky to tremble slightly.]
["This place is called the North Sea. You are now just a large red fish, but you know how to protect your clan, enlighten your people, and bring them the light of civilization. From now on, you shall be called Beizhu!"]
[Then, the True Dragon extended a claw deep into the world and gently touched Beizhu’s eyes.]
[In a flash, a cultivation method, "Transform into a Dragon," and "Dragon Race Inheritance," appeared in Beizhu’s mind, along with some water magic. The True Dragon informed Beizhu it would need to cultivate diligently for eight hundred years to gain some self-protection capabilities. Once the Dragon Gate appears, it could then lead its clan out of the "Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl."]
[From the "Dragon Race Inheritance," Beizhu learned of the existence of the "Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl," realizing that the entire ocean world was merely a magical treasure in the hands of the True Dragon.]
[This revelation greatly shocked "Beizhu," who was just a mortal, and he firmly remembered the name "Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl."]
[Beizhu returned to the "Fish Country," and after transforming into a dragon, he was gifted with great talents. His flesh body quickly developed a primordial spirit and magical power. He then cultivated his magic to a minor success and began teaching the wise red fish the cultivation method "Transform into a Dragon."]
[The Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl world was rich in spiritual qi and had no natural enemies, allowing the Torch Fish clan to rapidly grow stronger.]
[Besides urging his clan to cultivate, Beizhu also worked diligently on his own cultivation, knowing that once he left the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl world, there would be no such advantageous conditions outside.]
[Year 923 of the Fish Country.]
[Over the eight hundred years, the clan birthed thousands of Torch Fish possessing magical power, though the most gifted only had ten years of Dao practice, and their magical power was not strong. However, the Torch Fish were very wise and disciplined, working with Beizhu to set up arrays, showcasing substantial combat power.]
[Meanwhile, Beizhu finally achieved five hundred years of Dao practice but found no magic to transform into human form in the Dragon Race Inheritance, or perhaps there was none.]
[Beizhu continued to cultivate, aiming for a thousand years of Dao practice, as his physical body was yet to be refined, and the Torch Fish arrays needed more practice... However, the Sea of Heaven trembled, and the Dragon Gate appeared, marking the end of Beizhu’s "novice protection period."]
[As the clan leader, Beizhu led the Torch Fish clan, now with cultivation, to leave their place of origin.]
[North Sea.]
[Like the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl world, there was no continent here. Below was black water, and the sky was a vast gray sea with a towering wall standing, staffed by shrimp soldiers and crab generals holding weapons, all on high alert.]
[Accompanied by the pungent smell of blood, a thousand-zhang-long black True Dragon returned from the wall, and soon, a sheet of scorching red blood spread, dyeing half the sky into a blood sea.]
[Shrimp soldiers and crab generals cheered loudly.]
[The surrounding seawater temperature sharply increased, turning unbearably scalding.]
[At the same time, countless aquatic creatures’ eyes turned red, and under the drive of primal desire, they lost their rationality, devouring the magma-like scorching "Divine Blood" indiscriminately. Some burst and died on the spot, while others painfully transformed into massive sea beasts!]
[The sea beasts emitted terrifying auras and roared, making the black True Dragon frown slightly as it extended its claw, causing chains to appear from thin air and coil around the frenzied sea beasts.]
[They have lost their wisdom!]
[Seeing this, Beizhu quickly restrained his uncontrollable Torch Fish clan, understanding that this "Divine Blood" was a being on the same level as the True Dragon, referred to as deities, innate spirits, or immortals in the Dragon Race Inheritance!]
[Outside the towering wall was a brutal war!]
[Beizhu was scared and dared not linger in the Sea of Heaven, diving into the black water below, and made acquaintance with the neighbors. The leaders of various major clans were friendly towards the Torch Fish clan. Below the black water resided the North Sea Aquatic Race, while the Sea of Heaven was home to the "Dragon Race."]
[The Torch Fish clan appeared weak and had not inherited any powerful innate bloodline, yet their leader "Beizhu" was undoubtedly of noble Dragon Race descent!]
[Beizhu could not compare to the Flood Dragons "blessed by the storm," but his blood concentration was undoubtedly within three generations of direct descent, with an illustrious True Dragon as his ancestor.]
[However, they did not know Beizhu transformed into a dragon after crossing the Dragon Gate, and strictly speaking, if Beizhu cultivated into a True Dragon, he could open a new lineage as an "Ancestral Dragon"!]
[From the other clan leaders, Beizhu learned that this place served as a military source for the Dragon Race. Only by passing a test to become a member of the "North Sea Xuanlong Army" could he be allocated a territory.]
[Alternatively, cultivating beyond eight hundred years of Dao practice could exempt him from the test to join the "North Sea Xuanlong Army."]
[The Black Water of the North Sea rendered the seabed pitch-dark, barren of water plants. Other clans needed to venture out to hunt sea beasts, fish, and shrimp for sustenance, but the North Sea was extremely dangerous. Despite the numerous aquatic races, resources for cultivation were scarce, prompting brutal fighting among the major clans.]
[Additionally, those aquatic creatures that consumed the "Divine Blood" and lost their wisdom were also released by the True Dragon. They roamed the Black Water of the North Sea, with the weaker capable of annihilating an entire race, while the stronger could even challenge Flood Dragons.]
[In contrast, the Torch Fish clan could emit faint candlelight in the black water, cultivating water plants. Relying on their talent of cultivating water plants, Beizhu formed a symbiotic relationship with over ten herbivorous aquatic races, who were willing to protect the Torch Fish clan.]
[Thus, three thousand years passed, and the Torch Fish clan and alliance flourished, making Beizhu the king of a vast ocean territory spanning ten thousand miles, reaching a cultivation of a thousand years of Dao practice. One more step forward would make him a True Dragon!]
[Wuwuwu——]
[It was then that war broke out——]
[The Dragon Race summoned the North Sea Aquatic Race to join the battle, and Beizhu and his clan could not refuse. He was assigned under a Flood Dragon, heading to the world beyond the towering wall...]
