Phoenix Cry Gorge. Wing Sky Continent.
In the Immortal's cave in the back mountain of the Clear Feather Sect, Tao Zhenhong sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, surrounded by dense Clear Qi.
Suddenly, his aura began to fluctuate, and the Qi mist began to rise up, then gradually transformed into a small dragon that was no more than a foot long.
A moment later, the dragon transformed from pure Qi into corporeal flesh and blood, complete with horns and claws and scales. Its eyes widened, and a vicious expression could be seen on its face.
Its long body trembled, and it let out a draconic roar. Then it twisted its body and began to pace back and forth in the spacious Immortal's cave. Occasionally, it would let out a low growl, which caused many of the demonic dragons and other bizarre creatures to curl up and tremble.
However, the creatures that could be placed in this cave abode were not simple either. They either had the ability to discern words and expressions, or they had sharp senses. After experiencing the initial fear, they realized that this dragon seemed to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Other than being able to roar a few times, it did not have any other abilities. Thus, they began to become bolder, and some even took the initiative to go forward to test it.
The little dragon seemed to have been provoked, as if its dignity had been violated. It flew into a rage, and its body suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning that circled the Immortal's cave. When the lightning faded away, the rumbling of thunder filled the air, and many of the creatures shrank back, shrieking in pain.
However, the little dragon also seemed dispirited and listless. Its head drooped down, and it lay on all fours, panting.
Seeing this, Tao Zhenhong waved his hand and took back the little dragon. Then, he pointed with his finger, and it turned into a cloud of smoke again. Then, it fell back into the clear Qi behind him. Nothing was left. He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. Then, he said, "It's still not enough."
When he had first arrived in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he had used the Origin Dragon to create quite a few demonic dragons, which had helped the disciples of the various sects and clans. Later, his cultivation base had advanced, and he hadn't stopped. He had created even more bizarre creatures, and now he was studying how to create a true dragon.
He stood up from the meditation cushion, pushed open the door to the estate, and stepped into a jade wall. Instantly, the scenery before his eyes changed, and he'd arrived at the small world he'd opened up.
The winged beings in the sky flapped their wings and roamed about, the beasts on the ground gathered and galloped about, the fish in the water leaped about, and countless living beings thrived here. Compared to the other small worlds of the same generation, this place was filled with exuberant vitality.
All the living beings here, from the sky to the ground, from the big to the small, were all created by him. Just like the Shaoqing Sect's sword technique, he sought the Dao from the sword. He sought the Dao from the living beings. In his opinion, the Spirits of Creation could also be considered a special kind of living being.
In fact, at the last moment, after the spirit of creation filled in the human heart, it could indeed be considered a living being.
With a thought, he appeared above the continent in an instant. There were countless monsters floating in the clouds here. Their figures were almost the same as the continent, but he'd created them by imitating the void living beings. Not only did they look huge, but their battle prowess was also very impressive. If he encountered an enemy, he could release the living beings in this world to help him in battle with a thought.
He stopped here for a moment, and his figure shifted again. This time, he arrived at a higher level. A large dragon corpse of unknown length was floating here. A single scale on its body was comparable to those monsters in the clouds Just Now.
This was a True Dragon that had completely grown up. It was rare even in the myriad of worlds, and its strength when it was alive was not simple. At the very least, it had stood at the peak of a world. In terms of pure cultivation, it was not far off from him.
However, the death of this dragon had nothing to do with him. When he found it, it was already a corpse.
His body flickered as he appeared on the head of the True Dragon, where he placed his finger on its forehead. After studying it for a moment, he frowned and thought to himself, "Strange. Very strange. Could it be that it really is the case?"
His goal in creating the True Dragon was to gain enlightenment of profound truths from it. That way, he would be able to perfect his own magic, and then use the Origin Jade to reach the Higher Realm.
He had acquired the Origin Jade not too long ago, and it was no longer a hindrance to him. However, only people with a limited amount of cultivation base could acquire it.
The Pure Feather Sect was one of the great sects of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and as the Sect Leader, acquiring one wasn't a difficult task.
However, after acquiring the True Dragon, the more he delved into it, the more questions he found. In fact, he even came up with some unimaginable conclusions. It was not something that could be resolved behind closed doors. He would have to seek guidance from someone, and ideally, an almighty Higher Realm expert.
After a long moment of thought, he emerged from the minor world, called out to his disciples, and gave them a few instructions. Then he left the Pure Feather Sect, and headed toward the Heaven beyond the Heavens.
After traveling for some time, he relied on his spiritual awareness to come to a stop. Clasping his hands in greeting, he said, "Is the Grand Exalted One present? Tao Zhenhong of the Pure Feather Sect requests an audience. "
Even as the words left his mouth, a Dao Palace appeared in front of him, and a voice spoke out from within. "Fellow Daoist, please come in."
Tao Zhenhong entered the palace and walked up to a cloud platform. Seeing Dan Yi's incarnation sitting there, he clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Grand Exalted One offers greetings."
Dan Yi said, "There's no need to stand on ceremony. Since you're here, there's no need for formalities. Fellow Daoist, please sit down and talk."
Tao Zhenhong was the type of person who was most willing to communicate with lower-level cultivators of the Mortal Dao. He had always been worried about the difficulties the Mortal Dao would encounter in the next era. In order to help the Mortal Dao as much as possible, he had sent word to many cultivators with potential, telling them that if they encountered any problems they couldn't solve themselves, they could come to him for guidance.
Tao Zhenhong said, "Excuse me," and sat down in front of the cloud platform.
Dan Yi said, "Fellow Daoist, is there something you want to ask me?"
As a God Refinement almighty being, he could know everything in the world with just a thought. However, ever since he achieved his Dao, he had taken the initiative to hide this ability, and never tried to pry into people's hearts.
Tao Zhenhong said, "I'm here today to ask the Grand Exalted One about the Dragon Ancestor."
Dan Yi said, "The Dragon Ancestor? Fellow Daoist, are you trying to seek the Dao through the Dragon Ancestor? Although that is also a Dao path, fellow Daoist is a Human Cultivator. If you use this method to reach the Upper Realm, aren't you afraid of going astray? "
Tao Zhenhong clasped his hands and said, "I have some shallow opinions. If there are any mistakes, please correct me, Grand Exalted One."
Dan Yi nodded and said, "Please speak, fellow Daoist."
Tao Zhenhong said, "I have done a detailed investigation in the Myriad Heavens and Realms. Privately, I think that while the True Dragon can be called a different kind, the Dragon Ancestor might not be a different kind."
Dan Yi was a little surprised, but then he showed a hint of admiration and said, "Fellow Daoist, to be able to see this step, it is enough to show that you are fated with the Upper Realm."
Even some True Yang almighty beings might not be able to see the clues here, and Tao Zhenhong could see this with his mortal body. Such a situation would not have happened in the past, but after Zhang Yan enlightened all living beings with the God Refinement of All Beings, some people gained more insights, and he was one of them.
After he sighed, he said, "Fellow Daoist, do you know about the essence of creation?"
Tao Zhenhong said, "I know a little."
He knew that Bu Xutian was once a part of the essence of creation, and that the Spirit of Creation that made the Bhadantines helpless came from it, but that was all. These things were only given to them by Dan Yi when he watched the battle between the Bhadantines and the Spirit of Creation, so that they could understand the cause and effect.
However, it was naturally impossible to know exactly what sort of profundities the Creation Essence possessed and where it came from.
Tao Zhenhong did not intend to inquire about it. He felt that some things would be known when he reached a certain realm. Searching for it now would only add to his troubles.
This choice was the right one. Because under the God Refinement of All Beings, as long as his Dao heart did not give up, some things would be reflected on their own even if he did not take the initiative to find them.
Dan Yi explained a little here and said, "The essence of creation is the manifestation of Dao. It is self-satisfied and has no beginning and end. Perhaps only the Daoist Master can understand its mystery. Before this thing was broken, the Bhadantines' Dao was comprehended from it. After this thing was broken, not only did a part of it become the Spirit of Creation, but it also gave birth to places like Bu Xutian. "
At this point, he sighed slightly. "When the Spirit of Creation was born, almost all the Bhadantines chose to fight against it, but only one did not do so. Instead, he transformed his human body into a demon body in an attempt to draw out another Dao Art so that he could grasp it. "
Tao Zhenhong looked over and said, "Is this Bhadantine the Dragon Ancestor?"
Dan Yi nodded and said, "Yes."
When Bu Xutian fell, he also had some doubts. The Human Dao was clearly strong, so why was it driven out of Bu Xutian without any warning? He also wanted to find out the real reason for this. He only learned everything after he had a Weili encounter with several Bhadantines from Bu Xutian.
Before the Spirit of Creation was broken, all the Bhadantines were born in the Human Dao, but after achieving the Dao, whether or not they still considered themselves human depended on how they viewed the matter. And this Bhadantine completely denied the Human Dao body. If that was all, it would be fine, but this person took advantage of the time when the Bhadantines were restrained to use his own body as a seal and reflected it into the Dragon Ancestor's body in Bu Xutian. He evolved many real dragons and wanted to seize the power of the Dao.
Perhaps because it happened in a hurry, the Creation Pauline that this person held was accidentally lost, causing him to be lost in the long river of the Dao. But his Weili did not completely dissipate and still lingered in the silence, trying to complete this matter. It was just that he was blocked by the patriarchs' Weili, so he could not achieve his wish.
It was also a coincidence that later on, Taoist Wan Que tried to break through the barrier and transcend the world. Originally, whether it was a success or failure, it was only his matter, but he retreated. The Weili left by the Bhadantines saw the flaw and used it to resonate with the many real dragons in Bu Xutian. From then on, it seeped in and wanted to trigger the Dao of the different species so that it could have a replacement and return. This caused the turmoil later on.
Because there were some things here that involved the changes of the Bhadantines' Dao, Dan Yi could not explain everything clearly, so he only picked some important ones and gave a general explanation.
Tao Zhenhong's main purpose of finding this place was to confirm his own deduction. Now that he knew the truth matched with the theory in his heart, he suddenly felt that the Dao that originally existed in his heart was connected. He could not help but smile and stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Supreme One."
