I Raised Mountains and Rivers on My Back, Leaving Even the Ancestral Dragon Speechless

Above the Profound Water Branch Vein in the Eastern Sea.

The Ancestral Dragon's Divine Sense slowly swept across Lu Yuan's back.

At first, he only sensed an unusually active Water Spirit Qi, and then he discovered that the mountains and forests that were originally attached to the scales had actually formed a fairly stable environment.

A fine, gentle rain fell slowly.

Streams flow down the valley.

The vast expanse of spiritual herbs gradually unfurled under the nourishment of the rain, and many small animals that had become accustomed to the environment also emerged from their caves and roamed the forest.

After carefully sensing it for a moment, the surprise in Ancestral Dragon's eyes gradually deepened.

This situation was indeed somewhat unexpected.

As the ruler of the Dragon Clan, the Ancestral Dragon had seen countless Primordial Divine Beasts.

Among them, there were naturally quite a few that were enormous.

However, it is still extremely rare for a creature to truly live on one's body for a long time, and even gradually form a stable mountain or water vein.

What concerned Ancestral Dragon even more was that the water loops between the forests and streams were becoming more and more complete.

After Lu Yuan absorbed the Primordial Profound Water Essence, a portion of the gentle Water Spirit Qi naturally diffused to his back and was subsequently absorbed by the rocks and soil.

The accumulated rainwater flowed slowly along the rock strata.

Lakes gradually formed in the low-lying areas.

At higher altitudes, some water vapor rises again, eventually condensing back into fine rain clouds.

Although the entire loop is still quite simple, it already vaguely resembles the outline of real mountains and rivers.

Ancestral Dragon couldn't help but whisper, "I see."

Ao Xuan, who was standing to the side, looked up immediately upon hearing the sound.

"Chief?"

Ancestral Dragon did not rush to answer.

He re-examined the woodland for a while, his gaze finally settling on a group of Little White Beasts playing by the stream.

Those creatures were extremely weak.

Even in the Primordial World, they were beings that could be devoured by powerful ferocious beasts at any moment.

But now they live on Lu Yuan's back and are able to reproduce peacefully.

An older white animal was lying on a rock, while several cubs chased and frolicked on the grass around it. Occasionally, birds would fly through the woods, and the whole scene looked very natural.

Upon seeing this, Ancestral Dragon couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

"Ao Xuan, you previously said that some creatures lived on Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan's back. I thought it was just some vegetation that occasionally accumulated in the gaps between his scales. Now it seems that this place already has the appearance of a real mountain and river."

After listening, Ao Xuan also took a deep breath.

"The clan leader is right. I never expected that the bloodline of the Grand Void Sky Whale could undergo such a change."

Ao Lan stood to the side, her eyes still filled with obvious curiosity.

She already knew that a weak spirit beast lived on Lu Yuan's back.

But after witnessing the spiritual rain fall with his own eyes, he finally realized that this landscape was constantly changing as Lu Yuan grew up.

Large areas of green have now appeared, especially in those rocky areas that were originally relatively dry.

Ao Lan couldn't help but say, "Clan leader, Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan is already over 100,000 li long, and the forest on his back is already so vast. If he truly grows to a million li in the future, won't that mountain range continue to expand?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon's eyes flickered slightly.

He had just thought about the same question.

Lu Yuan's size will obviously continue to grow.

Moreover, its growth rate is extremely astonishing.

It can support a forest now, but as it grows, the mountains and rivers behind it may become more and more extensive.

A gigantic beast that can swim.

But it carries more and more living beings on its back.

This life form did indeed pique the interest of even the Ancestral Dragon.

However, he didn't rush to propose any arrangements.

Lu Yuan is now merely Dragon Court Guest.

The two sides have just established a partnership.

It would be inappropriate to rashly request that a temple be built on its back or that Dragon Clan be housed there.

Moreover, the Ancestral Dragon had already seen through it.

Lu Yuan highly values freedom.

This Grand Void Sky Whale was willing to let weak creatures live on its back, which was clearly out of its own good.

If he is burdened with too much additional responsibility, it could damage the relationship that has just been established between the two parties.

Ancestral Dragon for a moment, Zu Long slowly withdrew his Divine Sense.

Then, he spoke in the direction of Lu Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan, how long have you been living with these creatures on your back?"

Lu Yuan had just finished absorbing the Mystic Water Essence and was feeling the more stable Qi and Blood within his body.

After hearing the question from the Ancestral Dragon, he slowly opened his eyes.

"For a while now, when I was sleeping in the Northern Land, they mistook my body for mountains and rivers, and gradually settled down there."

Ancestral Dragon nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, you must have put in a lot of effort to look after these creatures in addition to your daily travels and cultivation."

Lu Yuan didn't find it too troublesome.

"At first, it was really hard to get used to; I was afraid of throwing them off with every little movement. But once I got used to my body, it became much easier to control them."

At this point, he added another sentence.

"These little guys are adapting quite well now. As long as they don't encounter any too dangerous places, I let them stay there."

After hearing this, a smile appeared on Ancestral Dragon's face.

This answer is quite consistent with Lu Yuan's previously displayed personality.

They have little interest in external forces or positions of power.

I just want to focus on my cultivation.

But when they actually encounter weak creatures, they don't casually treat them as worthless things.

This temperament is indeed significantly different from that of the ferocious beasts of the Northern Lands, whose primary purpose is slaughter.

Ancestral Dragon slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, your true form has immense potential. If you continue to grow, the mountains and rivers on your back may become increasingly vast."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's heart also stirred slightly.

He had considered this possibility before.

However, its body is still in its growth stage, and it is obviously still a very long way from being large enough to support a complete world.

Lu Yuan didn't think too much about the matter for the time being.

"We'll see about that later. For now, it's good that these little ones are living peacefully."

The Ancestral Dragon nodded slightly.

That's fine too.

Then, he turned his gaze back to Lu Yuan.

After being nourished by the Profound Water for a period of time, Lu Yuan's Qi and Blood have noticeably increased.

In particular, those gray-gold chaotic patterns have become more stable.

Ancestral Dragon could naturally determine that these changes were closely related to the Demon God Origin he had previously obtained.

However, Ancestral Dragon did not inquire into how Lu Yuan transformed that power.

Every Primordial Divine Beast has its own bloodline inheritance.

In matters like this, mutual respect is naturally essential.

Ancestral Dragon slowly said, "Now it seems that the Primordial Profound Water Essence is indeed suitable for your cultivation. If needed in the future, Ao Xuan will make the arrangements. Any surplus can continue to be exchanged according to the previous agreement."

Lu Yuan was in a very good mood after hearing this.

"Alright, then I'll definitely be coming to the Eastern Sea to bother you a lot in the future."

Ancestral Dragon couldn't help but smile.

"Fellow Daoist, you are naturally welcome to come."

After the conversation ended, Lu Yuan prepared to continue digesting the remaining Chaos Origin within his body.

Although he has now grown to over 107,000 li, he still hasn't truly finished eating the few pieces of demonic flesh and blood in his mouth.

Having just absorbed a large amount of Mystic Water Essence, it's the perfect time to take a quiet rest.

Lu Yuan slowly retracted his giant fins.

Its enormous body gradually came to a stop in the Sea of Clouds.

The gray-gold patterns that were originally flowing gradually became smoother.

Seeing this, Ao Xuan did not continue to disturb him.

He instructed the nearby Dragon Clan to restore the Profound Water Branch Vein to normal operation, and left some aquatic creatures to guard it, ensuring that Lu Yuan would not be disturbed unnecessarily during his rest.

Ao Lan also led the patrol team away to a distance.

However, before she left, she couldn't help but look back at the woodland on Lu Yuan's back.

The rain was gradually subsiding.

The vegetation, which was originally nourished by the rain, became even more lush.

Several white cubs were lying by the stream, excitedly licking the water droplets remaining on the leaves.

As Ao Lan gazed at this scene, a touch of emotion welled up in his eyes.

"Such a huge body, yet it can support an entire mountain range on its back. I wonder what it will look like in the future."

She muttered something to herself, then turned and left.

Just as the Eastern Sea was gradually returning to calm.

Far to the southeast.

A fiery red Fire Clouds was slowly crossing the horizon.

From the depths of the Fire Clouds, a magnificent phoenix silhouette fluttered its wings and flew in.
