Hualong Pond

Chapter 478: Dragon Transformation Pond

The two of them walked into the Dragon Cave, which was not incredibly large, only a thousand feet long, not as they had imagined with pavilions and towers inside.

“Dragon Iron Bone, to think such a thing exists!” Qing Yi exclaimed in surprise.

She saw several black metal pieces, but upon closer inspection, they resembled translucent Heavenly Bones stained black, glistening brightly.

Legend has it that Dragon Iron Bone is a Divine Material formed when a True Dragon perishes in an iron mine. It can be refined into Artifacts and possesses immeasurable, strange powers.

Not long ago, the chains that bound the Flood Dragon Lin Fan killed contained Dragon Iron Bone, which is why they were indestructible and could even trap a Heavenly God.

Now, there were three pieces here, all the size of a fist, shimmering with dark light. Their value was immeasurable.

Qing Yi collected them, knowing that Lin Fan wouldn't care for them. Only Immortal Materials like Immortal Gold and World Stones could catch his eye now.

His main body possessed a Five Elements Immortal Gold Sword, which Lin Fan had given him, serving as the best proof.

However, for her, or rather for most people, Dragon Iron Bone was already an extremely rare Artifact Refining Material.

“That is… the Dragon Transformation Pond!”

At this moment, Lin Fan cried out, no longer calm, as if he had found a greater fortune than the Dragon Iron Bone.

Ahead, through the hazy Chaos Qi, a pond one foot square appeared, with red liquid flowing and Immortal Radiance shimmering brightly!

Lin Fan was immediately stunned. Although the crimson pond was unnamed, a special fluctuation emanated from it, letting him know that this was the Dragon Transformation Pond!

“It’s actually this legendary ancient pond!” Qing Yi also saw it, greatly astonished.

The Dragon Transformation Pond, as its name suggests, is a supreme Treasure Trove that can allow living beings to transform into True Dragons, its value is simply unimaginable!

As is well known, any living being in the world has the opportunity to evolve in one direction: beasts transform into Dragons, and birds become Phoenixes.

Because relatively speaking, beings like True Dragons and True Phoenixes are the most perfect and powerful, most races choose one of the two for evolution.

Of course, from a broader perspective, ‘Dragon Transformation’ is merely a term for becoming stronger and undergoing a metamorphosis, and not all beings necessarily have to truly transform in that way.

For example, beings like Qilin, Kunpeng, and Nine Nether Aos are inherently powerful and are of the Ten Vicious level, so they naturally do not need to evolve towards them.

The Human Race, being Innate Dao Bodies, is even more so; their bodies contain countless Treasure Troves, and once opened, they can possess infinite power, thus they also do not need to transform into Dragons.

However, this does not mean that the Dragon Transformation Pond is useless to other beings; on the contrary, its value is immense, capable of making a person undergo a complete metamorphosis.

“What a great fortune!” Lin Fan exclaimed excitedly, no longer maintaining his composure. He rushed to the front immediately and observed it carefully.

The small pond was very mysterious, like a calm volcano, filled with red liquid, surging with Dragon Qi, auspicious and sacred.

Just standing at the edge, a rich spirituality assailed them, accompanied by Immortal Dao Qi, causing both their Divine Souls and Physical Bodies to tremble.

“Oh, there’s also a skeleton here!” Qing Yi said.

Not far from the Dragon Transformation Pond, there was a corpse dressed in strange attire. Even in death, a terrifying aura permeated from it.

“This person was a Master Level figure in life, but for some unknown reason, he passed away in the Dragon Cave. Judging by his attire, he should be a native.” Lin Fan surmised.

For a moment, they couldn't help but think of the Flood Dragon that was originally locked outside, guessing that this person had captured it to guard the Immortal Cave.

However, the two of them didn't pay too much attention to it. Cultivation inherently goes against the Heavenly Dao. Failure in Breakthrough and the dissipation of one's Dao is very common.

From his遗物, however, they discovered many Medicinal Pills and scriptures, and even a Divine medicine, which was an unexpected surprise.

“This person tried to use the Dragon Transformation Pond to find a way to break the curse, but he didn’t expect it to worsen the curse, leading to his death here.”

After Lin Fan read the will left by the other party, he understood how he died.

Within the Immortal Ancient, there exists a curse that erupts once one reaches the Heavenly God Realm, causing people to become muddled.

Especially Master Level figures, they would become insane, recognize no one, and turn into monsters capable only of slaughter.

Even beings from the outside world who entered and stayed in the Immortal Ancient would also be afflicted by the curse once their cultivation reached a certain level and they stayed for too long.

This is a very terrifying and strange phenomenon. No one knows how it came about; it has existed since the beginning of this epoch, and escaping is useless.

Therefore, whether they were natives or Cultivators from outside, once they reached the Heavenly God Realm, they would stay in their respective regions, and very few experts would venture out.

“You won’t have any problems, will you?” Qing Yi glanced at Lin Fan, thinking of his Realm, and couldn’t help but worry.

“No worries. As long as I don’t stay in the Immortal Ancient for too long, there won’t be much of a problem, and besides, this curse isn’t without a solution.”

Lin Fan was not worried about this. He remembered that drinking Thunder Tribulation Liquid could eliminate the curse, and he happened to not lack it.

At worst, he would undergo another Lightning Tribulation and extract the liquid from the heavens, which was not difficult for him.

“This place is perfect for secluded Cultivation. There’s no shortage of Divine medicine or anything else. You can fuse the Reincarnation seed to Cultivate the first Immortal Qi, then use the Dragon Transformation Pond to Cultivate the second, and obtain the last one by undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation.” Lin Fan instructed.

At the same time, he also needed to begin his Cultivation, to impact a higher Realm. Taking his body as a seed had just begun, requiring time to explore and open more doors.

…

On this day, Lin Fan sat cross-legged in the Dragon Nest, taking out a jade scripture, flipping through it, and it radiated Divine Light.

Immediately, it triggered a celestial phenomenon: various mysterious symbols soared into the sky, True Dragons danced, immortal birds cried out, and even the light of flying immortals enveloped him.

“As expected of an Immortal Scripture, just reading it brings forth such an Immortal Dao phenomenon. It truly is extraordinary!” Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Previously, at the Celestial God Academy, two great Longevity Dao Lineages had gifted two Immortal Dao scriptures, and this was one of them.

And Lin Fan, as a Guest Elder of the Celestial God Academy, had rendered great service and obtained many benefits, so he naturally had the right to borrow it.

“Boom!”

At once, as he observed the scripture and comprehended the Great Dao, the Three Immortal Qi within his body spontaneously emerged, condensing into a Dao Flower, vibrant and profound.

Then, the Dao Flower dispersed again, like wisps of white mist, merging into his body, cleansing and nourishing his Physical Body.

This process repeated itself, scattering then gathering, gathering then scattering. It was a process of cleansing the marrow and washing the tendons, a benefit derived from observing the Immortal Scripture.

One must know that this was only the beginning, yet it already had such an effect, which was incredible!

“When the time comes, I must seize the scriptures in the Immortal Ancient, the more the better!” Lin Fan’s eyes gleamed, and he already had a plan in mind.

Next, he immersed himself in the scripture again, deeply drawn in.

One could see that the scene in that place was world-shaking, with large swaths of flying immortal light rain falling, and an unparalleled auspicious Qi.

“He, a Clone, can still Cultivate? I knew you were lying to me!” Qing Yi grunted, also Cultivating.

She drew in the Dao principles from the Reincarnation seed, transforming them into a raging inferno that ignited her body, slowly fusing with it, thereby achieving God Realm.

In just an instant, more than half of her clothes were burned away, revealing a large expanse of her fair, rounded, and extremely alluring body.

Qing Yi almost let out a shriek, her face flushed crimson, but after glancing at the figure who was still diligently Cultivating, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Should I… should I go outside to Cultivate?” she mumbled softly.

However, when Lin Fan’s Cultivation brought forth large swaths of flying immortal light rain, which was greatly beneficial for her Fusion of the Dao seed, she became reluctant to leave.

“I’ll just absorb a little bit. When he’s about to finish Cultivating and wake up, I’ll change places.” Qing Yi muttered to herself.
