How to bulshit a dragon
🕑 Added 2024-11-14 13:51:37 +0000 UTCAs the Primordial Azure Dragon watched Wuji's life trajectory, many of his questions were answered.
"Seventy-eight profound vein entrances?! This is unscientific!" The dragon felt his more than seventy million years of life view challenged!
It is an established fact that the maximum number of profound vein entrances is fifty-four! This applies to everyone, be they mortal or god.
But now, someone who broke this rule stood before him!
"First sperm, and now 78 profound veins entrances, what are hiding next," After recovering from the shock, he continued to view Yun Wuji's memories. There was nothing interesting except for the divine miracle of life and the Sky Poison Pearl.
"Impossible!" Suddenly, the Primordial Azure Dragon saw something that not only challenged his life's views but even his own existence!
He saw a certain memory, in this memory, Yun Wuji was holding a stack of paper and a pen. Until this point, there was nothing wrong with this memory. But then Yun Wuji closed his eyes and when he opened them they became entirely white and his hand began to move on its own, writing on the paper.
What Wuji wrote were secrets about the past of the Primal Chaos and the future as well. These papers documented how the gods and devils came into existence and how they became extinct.
What truly shocked the Azure Dragon wasn't the past but the future. He was stunned by the prediction of the Heaven Smithing Devil Emperor's return with the help of the Word Piercer—things he had only guessed when he was alive.
Finally, it was the informations about the Abyss of Nothingness that really made him question his own existence.
"To think that the greatest calamity would come from the Abyss of Nothingness!" The Primordial Azure Dragon sighed sadly. It wasn't that he didn't doubt these memories, but their detailed and logical nature revealed many things he had only speculated about, such as the relationship between Ni Xuan and Jie Yuan.
These are secrets that no mortal from the current era should know! Even gods and devils from the past era didn't know them!
"Xi'er!" As he continued to read, the Primordial Azure Dragon came across a paragraph mentioning the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword and his precious daughter!
He felt a mix of joy and rage. The joy came from discovering that his daughter was alive and thriving, while the anger stemmed from the fact that someone had dared to harm her. The Primordial Azure Dragon had loved his daughter deeply, even choosing to use the only strand of ancestral power they had to seal her within the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword rather than using it to fight the devils.
"I only intended to satisfy my curiosity, yet I stumbled upon such a terrible secret! Sigh..." The Primordial Azure Dragon finished viewing the memories and sighed deeply.
"I never imagined someone like you could exist! Is this perhaps fate's attempt to save this world? Or is it the will of the ancestral goddess?" The Primordial Azure Dragon's gaze toward Yun Wuji grew complex, reflecting surprise, admiration, and gratitude.
He was thankful to have learned about his daughter before his time came.
"Who knows? All I know is that I need to work harder to change the fate of this world," Yun Wuji said, shaking his head.
"Your contribution to this universe and all living beings is admirable," the Primordial Azure Dragon said gently.
"Nah, I'm not doing this to save the world or its people. I'm doing it because if the world is destroyed, I will die too," Yun Wuji said, shaking his head. His only goal was to live without worries.
"Is this what they called tsundere?" Primordial Azure Dragon.
"Where did you learn that word from?" Yun Wuji.
"From you, of course." Primordial Azure Dragon.
"..." Yun Wuji didn't want to answer and simply asked, "Can I receive my reward now?"
"Originally, passing the trial would only reward you with three drops of dragon blood," the Primordial Azure Dragon said. "But after seeing your memories, I've changed my mind. Perhaps this is fate's design, and leaving my inheritance in this lower plane was meant for you."
"I will give you everything I have. Hopefully, it will aid you in your quest."
"Everything?" Yun Wuji was surprised.
"Yes, in this inheritance, there are 36 drops of dragon blood, the Dragon God's Marrow, and the Dragon God's Soul," the Primordial Azure Dragon announced.
"So much?!" Yun Wuji exclaimed, astonished. This was far more than what he had received from the phoenix.
"You are the first to ever pass this trial. Naturally, the inheritance is still intact," the Azure Dragon answered. "I will give you the dragon blood first. Are you ready?"
"Yes, but could you please inform my companion outside that I've passed the trial? I'd prefer not to worry her needlessly," Yun Wuji requested, he was sure that Yuechan would complain to him later for leaving her without food.
'Well, I'll cook something special for her to make up for it.'
"Alright," the Primordial Azure Dragon's eyes flashed. "I've informed her."
"With your current cultivation, your body can only refine up to 18 drops of dragon blood. I will seal the remaining blood in your body so that you can use them later." As the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice faded, a speck of azure blue light shot from the darkness, precisely touching the spot between Yun Wuji's eyebrows before entering the space between his brows.
As the 18 drops of dragon blood entered his body, Yun Wuji felt an intense, simultaneous explosion of 18 fiery balls within him. He quickly sat down, focusing intently on refining the dragon blood. Unlike the phoenix's blood, which had been relatively gentle, the dragon's blood was far more tyrannical, wreaking havoc as it surged through his veins.
Gradually, with his concentration and effort, the dragon blood was subdued and began to merge seamlessly with his bloodstream.
"Impressive," the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice echoed as Wuji opened his eyes. "It only took you 5 hours to refine the blood."
Yun Wuji assessed his body and noticed that the world within his profound veins had expanded significantly. An immensely powerful force surged through every drop of his blood and every cell. He also felt that the strength of his meridians, profound veins, bones, and skin had surpassed their previous limits.
Noticing the changes, Yun Wuji felt that his visit to this trial was worth it. With just these enhancements, he was confident that he could make significant progress with his new technique.
Perhaps he could link at least 15 entrances!
"What can I say, sometimes my genius generates gravity," Yun Wuji spread his arms and said narcissistically.
"..next, you'll fuse with the Dragon God's Marrow and the Dragon God's Soul," the Primordial Azure Dragon continued. "The Dragon God's Marrow will strengthen your bones and marrow, making them as tough as steel and an unbreakable fortress. It will also ensure that any strength you lose is quickly and endlessly replenished. The Dragon God's Soul will refine your spirit and soul, granting you mental strength far beyond that of ordinary humans. It will also imbue your soul with the attributes of the Dragon God."
"You can fuse with each separately and I can help you with that, but I suggest fusing them together on your own. Doing so will bring greater benefits than if I assisted you. Particularly if you manage to conquer and merge with the Dragon God's Soul by yourself, you might unlock the 'Dragon Soul Domain'—a power that once terrified all beings in the universe!"
"Alright, I'll fuse with both at the same time," Yun Wuji said, nodding.
"Very well!" The Primordial Azure Dragon's voice echoed. A brilliant azure light flared in the dark space, forming a crystal that appeared before Yun Wuji. Before he could react, the crystal transformed into a flash of light and shot toward the space between his eyebrows. A sharp, searing pain, like being pierced by a blade, struck him at his brow's center. Instantly, the blue light entered his body.
