Chapter 624: In front of the Dragon Pond
On the Ancestral Dragon's Backbone leading to the Dragon Transformation Pool, Lao Hanyuan told the angry Gu Miao about the past events.
The violent girl suspected that the old Dragon King was lying, but when she thought carefully about the current situation, two of the three major dragon palaces had been destroyed, and the last one also took the blame for disrupting the West Sea.
Given the current situation, King Han Yuan really has no reason to lie to her anymore.
But the truth came too quickly, making it difficult for Gu Miao to accept it for a while.
"That was me... it was my birth that killed me..."
She was in a state of unspeakable emotion.
But the next moment, Senior Sister Luo Yan placed her hand on Gu Miao's shoulder and said softly:
"Don't think like that, disciple. The old Dragon King has made it very clear. When your mother was pregnant with you, she already knew the price of giving birth to you, but she did not give up on you.
Obviously in her eyes, you are the best treasure given to her by the world.
I think Lady Gu Ke also knew that if you weren't in her destiny, even if she spent her whole life with your father, there would always be regrets. It was your birth that fulfilled her desire.
For a mortal mother, if she has a daughter like this in her life, she will have no regrets even in the afterlife. "
"Fellow Daoist Luoyan is right."
The old Han Yuan who was leading the way twirled his dragon whiskers and said:
"Before your mother passed away , the old dragon went to see her. She wanted to entrust you to me, but the Lord Lin did not want you to grow up in the Dragon Palace, so the matter was dropped.
But when your mother was dying, she was thinking of you in her heart and she never regretted it.
And your father...
Ao Li is not the kind of person who abandons his wife and children as you think. He was forced to return to the Dragon Palace because of the Water-Bai King's coercion, but he has the protection of Lord Lin. Even if the Water-Bai King is more domineering, he cannot take him back to the Dragon Palace by force.
The reason he went back was to ask for a spirit pearl to prolong your mother's life.
Otherwise, Lady Gu Ke would have died after giving birth to you, so how could she have seen you grow up to the age of nine? In the final analysis, this is the family affair of the Water Bound King, and even the Lord Lin cannot interfere. "
"But he went to marry her right after my mother died!"
Xiao Miaoer gritted his teeth and said:
"He and that Mrs. Ba...are shameless!"
"Well."
When Gu Miao brought up this topic, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of King Hanyuan's dragon. He organized his words and said softly:
"Actually, this can't be blamed on your father. Your father was born more than a hundred years ago, and he was engaged to Madam Ba when he was a child. Going to the Falling Star Gorge in the North Territory can't be called a marriage, it should be called a marriage.
Really speaking, your mother is...
And Mrs. Ba is the adopted daughter of Lord Lin.
You can't make a decision on this matter, after all, you are the one who is responsible. There are also rumors that when your father and mother got married, the Lord Lin went there to vent his anger for his adopted daughter.
But your mother is indeed a heroine. She wore a wedding dress in the auditorium, holding a sword and arguing with Lord Lin. Her outstanding aura made Lord Lin feel emotional.
I reluctantly admitted this absurdity. "
After that, Old Hanyuan slowed down his pace, looked at Gu Miao who lowered his head and said softly:
"Xiao Miao'er, compared to other dragon sons and daughters in the mortal world, your life experience is already very lucky. You have hatred towards the Dragon Palace, and this king does not want to interfere. After all, what King Bishui did in this matter was indeed not decent.
I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't even include you in my bloodline.
It has a sinister and stubborn character, which is why it could do such a shocking thing today. It is likely to be dangerous if it avoids the water today. After it, its bloodline will surely be slaughtered by the Immortal Alliance, setting an example for others.
As Lao Long, I cannot interfere in that matter.
However, you are an exception. Today, you enter the Dragon Transformation Pond, wash away your mortal marrow, and transform into a dragon body. This can be regarded as leaving a seed for the water-avoiding lineage. The old dragon will explain this matter to you here.
After you transform into a dragon, the West Sea Dragon Palace will never interfere with what you want to do.
Whether you stay here or go to live in the East, it is up to you. But today, I will consider that you have a bond with the West Sea Monster Clan. If something big happens in the West Sea in the future, and I am powerless, please lend a hand.
Not seeking to protect the entire demon race.
Just like what the old dragon did to you today, it would be good to leave behind a few bloodlines for inheritance."
Gu Miao was confused at the moment and did not answer, but Senior Sister Luo Yan was very smart and immediately sensed something ominous from the old Dragon King's words.
She asked in surprise:
"Why is the old Dragon King so pessimistic? Could it be that in the West Sea, besides the Sin Abyss, there is something else that we don't know about?"
"It is unspeakable."
Old Hanyuan shook his head and said softly:
"But isn't the threat from that Sinful Abyss enough for Old Dragon to entrust his son to his care? You Mo family members should also make preparations early. Today's changes have caused the West Sea to erode, but this is not the end.
I'm afraid this is just the beginning.
All living beings in the world should make preparations early."
"It's just as Junior Brother Jiang said. All of you old seniors who experienced the West Sea Demon Suppression 500 years ago are old riddlers."
Luoyan complained:
"It's a bad habit to only speak half of what you want to say."
She glanced at her disciple Gu Miao, who was looking down with confused thoughts, and asked again:
"When Xiao Miaoer entered the sect, my Mohist astrology chart calculated her fate, but I didn't figure out my disciple's true fate at that time. Can the old Dragon King tell what kind of dragon Xiao Miaoer is?"
"How can this old dragon tell?"
King Hanyuan smiled and said:
“Ever since the thirteen true dragons entered the Sin Abyss to suppress the Heavenly Demon, the bloodline of the true dragons in the Dragon Palace has become increasingly chaotic, with strange things often mixing up, and the number of pure bloods is decreasing.
There are many dragon sons and daughters like Xiao Miaoer who are born with mortal appearances.
Before entering the Dragon Pool, no one knew the true fate, but little Miao'er had been valued by the Lord of the Lin since childhood, and he even transformed himself into a mortal to protect him personally. It seems that he must have sensed the extraordinary bloodline from little Miao'er.
Lord Lin's horoscope is that of the Candle Dragon, which is an extremely noble sign among the true dragon's horoscopes. It is precisely because of the blessing of this Candle Dragon horoscope that Lord Lin was able to enter the sea of suffering and practice in just a few hundred years.
To be valued so highly by him, Xiao Miao'er's true dragon destiny must be extremely noble."
"Well, from what you said, it seems that after the Thirteen True Dragons left, the genes of you monsters began to degenerate. According to our research, the genes of monsters are the most likely to mutate in the Bitter Wood Realm."
The personal intelligence Nia, who had been following behind and had been silent, now looked up and analyzed:
"Your gene chain is very unstable. There is no reproductive isolation from other races. When it merges with other genes, it is also the most likely to produce specific mutations.
I guess the ancestors of you demon dragons must have discovered this phenomenon, which is why they were so keen on mating with different creatures, trying to find better mutations.
Then, through reproductive reproduction, the beneficial mutations are accumulated and passed on.
Well, it's not scientific though.
But it can barely be considered as genetic optimization and modification."
"Uh, what you said, Lao Long doesn't understand."
King Hanyuan looked back at Nia with a strange expression and said:
“But it sounds pretty awesome.”
"Nonsense, what I said must be true, but I also have doubts. Since the offspring born from the mating of demon dragons and other creatures are mostly excellent mutations, why does the Dragon Palace hide this Dragon Transformation Pond like a treasure?"
Nia asked doubtfully:
"Using the Dragon Transformation Pool to purify their genes, retaining beneficial mutations and accumulating them from generation to generation, and ultimately achieving the advancement of the life form of the entire race, this is the correct path.
Why not do that?”
"because……"
King Hanyuan sighed and said:
“The Ancestral Dragon’s dragon energy has been dissipating.
The Dragon Pond, which was created by the original dragon energy, naturally dries up year by year. Do you think that the resentment of King Bishui and King Da Ri towards the Immortal Alliance is only because of the casualties caused by our dragon clan suppressing the Sea Eye?
It's not that simple.
Those who suppress the Sin Abyss are not just the Great Saint of the Demon Clan and the Mingli Academy of the Immortal Alliance that you have seen. To seal the billions of demons in the Sin Abyss, the entire Ku Mu Realm needs to work together.
The dragon energy of the ancestor dragon of my Dragon Palace is just one of these seals.
And as for the monsters in the Southern Wilderness... ahem, I can’t talk about that. In short, what happened in the West Sea today, although it seems accidental, was actually something that was bound to happen.
Either it was instigated by the Dragon Palace or other forces.
The various parties in Ku Mu Territory have been getting along for five hundred years. Although they have extended their lives for five hundred years, each family has paid a lot. Now, even if each family wants to continue to maintain it.
Given the sudden changes in the Sin Abyss, it’s not that easy.
King Bi Shui snatched the Zhou Tian Formation Plate from you Mo family members, saying that he was trying to survive from death. This was not an empty talk. Things have really become so bad that they cannot be sustained.
It's just that you don't know it yet.
By the way, the wolf demon that I saw just now, standing next to Jiang Xia, is he the descendant of the Great Sage Xiaofeng?"
The old Dragon King looked back at Luoyan and Niya's suddenly changed expressions, smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who spreads rumors everywhere.
Just seeing her reminded me of the past of the Great Sage Xiaofeng. The matter of Xiaofeng being possessed by the devil is not as simple as you think or know.
That great sage was also trying to save billions of lives of the demon race by trying to survive from death.
Too bad it failed.
This incident directly triggered the evil man from the Myriad Beasts Sect to take advantage of the situation and also caused the stupid bull Qingsi Great Sage to become alienated from the Immortal Alliance. He took the Shameful Mountain Monster Clan with him and left the Immortal Alliance to establish his own territory.
Without the connection with Han Di Mountain to suppress the earth's energy of Tian Ji Mountain, Zui Yuan became even more unstable.
Alas, all these tragedies seem to be fate.
Even if I wanted to stop it, there was nothing I could do. "
Everyone found the old dragon's secrets interesting, so they continued to descend like this, and after half an incense stick of time, they arrived at the Dragon Transformation Pool under the deep sea rock.
Its appearance was not at all what Luoyan and Nia had imagined, a large hot spring filled with fairy air.
Instead, it was the remains of a gigantic dragon head. The numerous teeth alone were like a small hill. It was the dragon bones that supported the underground outline of this sea area.
Judging from its size and the way it is connected to the Dragon's Back Stairs, it is not difficult to determine that this dragon bone is the remains of the legendary Ancestral Dragon's head.
On the remains of the dragon head, in the center of the crown-like black dragon horn, there was a concave mark like a pool. At the bottom of the pool, there was a pool of blue liquid like sea water, like a mirror-like gem.
Just as Lao Hanyuan said, the Dragon Transformation Pond has shrunk beyond recognition. Considering the area of the pond, the water in its heyday must have been at least ten times the size of this small puddle now.
"Go ahead."
The old Dragon King said to Gu Miao who lowered his head:
"I have explained the past to you clearly. I think I no longer have any hatred towards your bloodline, and there is no need to resist this opportunity that your mother risked her life to leave for you.
It is originally a part of you, the sharpest weapon in your hand, and the most useful magic weapon.
Troubled times are coming.
Whatever you want to do, you need strength in your hands."
Gu Miao was a little hesitant at this moment. She turned her head to look at the person she trusted the most. When she raised her head, Senior Sister Luo Yan was also looking at her gently.
"If Xiao Miaoer doesn't want to go, then follow Master back to the mountain. Although Master is not very powerful, if something really happens in the future, Master will risk his life to protect my disciple."
"I will go, Master."
Gu Miao reached out and hugged Senior Sister Luo Yan, just like a mother and daughter. She cried and whispered in Luo Yan's ear:
“That stinky dragon king dispelled the hatred in my heart and made me realize that my previous anger was like water without a source and a tree without roots. I had no reason to hate those people.
The so-called desire for revenge is just my wishful thinking.
No one hurt me.
But this time I entered the Hualong Pond for you, Master.
Although I have no enemies anymore, Master, you have. Since Master cannot avenge what Madam Naba did to your relatives, I will avenge her for you!"
After saying that, Gu Miao turned around and jumped into the Dragon Pool below.
His body transformed into clouds and water, merging with the blue water below. Immediately, there were signs of the water boiling. The three people present could faintly hear the roar of the Ancestral Dragon that had penetrated through ancient times and traveled to the present day.
It seems that he is also happy for the new born.
