Fuxi transformed into a dragon, his might engulfing the Primordial World
In truth, after seeing this Dragon Transformation Art, Fuxi instead felt a little afraid to cultivate it.
Originally, the Primordial World's fortune had been controlled by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.
After the Dragon-Han Calamity.
That fortune was redistributed, divided into two shares: demons and witches.
And immediately afterward, the two would merge into one, enjoyed exclusively by the Human Clan.
When the fortune of the Human Dao grew too great, the Three Sovereigns of the Human Dao would emerge, standing shoulder to shoulder with Sages.
But in truth, the restrictions that came with this were even greater than those on Houtu, the Earthly Dao Saint.
This was precisely the path Fuxi was walking.
Yet the Dragon Transformation Art that his nominal master, whom he had never met, had given him actually sought to let him enjoy the fortune of the Human Dao alone.
As long as the Human Clan endured, his true body would never die.
That would likewise make him equivalent to a Sage.
The Underworld lay outside the Primordial World, but the Human Clan was within it.
He would stand shoulder to shoulder with Sages, yet could freely walk the Primordial World without restriction.
If that was not a true Sage, what was?
Heavenly Dao, Human Dao, Earthly Dao.
The Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, the Three Sovereigns of the Human Dao, and Houtu of the Earthly Dao.
This had been the framework of the Primordial World.
Now Houtu had transcended, registering her name with the Heavenly Dao and becoming a Heavenly Dao Sage "in theory."
If Fuxi cultivated the Dragon Transformation Art, he would likewise become a kind of Heavenly Dao Sage "in theory."
He could practically see his future.
The Heavenly Dao would not tolerate him monopolizing the fortune of the Human Dao, and the Heavenly Dao Sages would join forces to execute and dismember him.
"Hiss..."
"Should I cultivate it?"
At this moment, he truly felt a little curious about just who his nominal master was. Could it be one of those Innate Demon Gods who had existed in Pangu's era?
Unfortunately, he did not know his nominal master's name. All he knew was that he had a senior sister named Gu Yuena.
He looked back down at the Dragon Transformation Art in his hands.
Fuxi was deeply conflicted.
Xu You: That's right, you should be conflicted!
Thanks to her connection to Pangu, Houtu had left the Heavenly Dao helpless, and as Houtu's elder brother, Fuxi would naturally be fine no matter how wildly he messed around.
At worst, he would simply be tossed back into reincarnation to be reborn.
As for whether Fuxi would cultivate it, Xu You declared that he certainly would.
Wasn't finding a way to become a Sage the very reason you reincarnated and abandoned your former heaven-reaching cultivation?
Now a way to become a Sage is right before you.
Could anyone resist that?
However, Xu You was not capable enough to directly create a path of cultivation leading to Sagehood. Just as with Houtu, he could only draw on the "experience" of his previous life and work backward from the outcome to make theoretical conjectures.
Houtu could handle the rest herself.
The same held true for Fuxi. What he had given Fuxi was simply a Dragon Transformation Art, a cultivation technique that allowed members of the Human Clan to cultivate and transform into dragons.
But when it was placed before Fuxi, without anyone telling him anything, he had seen the path to Sagehood hidden within the Dragon Transformation Art at first glance.
That was a cheat!
At this moment, Fuxi had clearly already made his decision.
He would abandon his previous goal of becoming one of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Dao and switch to cultivating the Dragon Transformation Art instead.
Fuxi would transform into a dragon!
His might would engulf the Primordial World!
"Mm, that's more like it."
Xu You hid inside his cave abode, spying away.
Three water mirrors floated before him.
One water mirror showed Fuxi cultivating the Dragon Transformation Art.
Another showed Gu Yuena going about her daily cultivation, all while remembering to "honor her master and respect the Dao" and "praise" him.
In any case, he heard all those remarks about toilets and the like.
His gaze, however, rested on another place, a pitch-black expanse: the East Sea!
In Douluo, Soul Masters cultivated the Dragon Transformation Art, while the Federation developed the All Heavens Star Dou Great Array.
Meanwhile, Di Tian had successfully cultivated the Ancestral Dragon Scripture and casually dispersed his nine-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation.
His strength had even reached a terrifying nine hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation.
Whether he broke through a million years was now a matter of a single thought.
Di Tian's standing had been high to begin with. He was a descendant of the Dark Dragon King, one of the ten great Dragon Kings, and had accumulated cultivation for many years.
It was only because the rules restricted him that, to avoid the certain death of the million-year Heavenly Tribulation, he had been forced to suppress his cultivation.
Everyone else thought about how to become stronger, while Di Tian thought about how to slow the growth of his cultivation.
But now that he had cultivated the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, everything had changed.
Even the million-year Heavenly Tribulation, a certain death for Soul Beasts, no longer seemed worth fearing to Di Tian after he cultivated the Ancestral Dragon Scripture.
For him, breaking through a million years and becoming a god would take only an instant.
However, he seemed to vaguely sense that if he broke through a million years, he would inevitably draw the attention of certain things.
Barring any surprises, it should be some contingency left by that Sea God Tang San.
At the very least, Di Tian knew that a certain two Soul Beast traitors were there.
Di Tian temporarily suppressed the thought of breaking through a million years. At this moment, the other Soul Beasts all envied Zi JI and Di Tian.
After all, they had all tried the Ancestral Dragon Scripture too, but aside from the Scarlet King, who possessed some Dragon Clan blood, every last one of the others had failed.
This speed of advancement, coupled with the ability to pass Heavenly Tribulations with ease, was simply unheard of, making them envy the two to death.
This was especially true of the Myriad Demon King and Xiong Jun, who had originally ranked fifth and sixth among the ten great Ferocious Beasts.
Oh, the Snow Empress and the Evil Emperor had already ascended, so they had automatically moved up two places.
But now they were watching the Scarlet King and Zi JI about to catch up. Who could bear that?
Xiong Jun even cast his dignity aside and looked pitifully at Di Tian.
He was a bear, after all. Having a thick hide was only natural.
"Di Tian~ Di Tian, I wanna cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Scripture too."
"Di Tian~ Di Tian~ I'm begging you~"
Before Xiong Jun could finish, Di Tian nearly slapped him.
Black lines covered his forehead. This was far too outrageous.
"You don't have Dragon Clan blood, so you can't cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Scripture."
"But~" Di Tian changed tack.
His gaze turned to the Dragon Transformation Art. With his discerning eye, he understood what it was about after circulating it briefly.
He had never imagined that such a miraculous cultivation technique could exist in this world.
Transforming into dragons!
All things could transform into dragons.
In the end, every living being in the world could take the form of a true dragon.
This was something Di Tian truly had never expected. But on second thought, if Soul Beasts could take human form, why couldn't humans and other living beings take dragon form?
At this thought, Di Tian forcibly restrained the surging within his heart.
He had originally believed that the Dragon Clan was finished, and could only helplessly shift from seeking the Dragon Clan's rise to seeking the rise of Soul Beasts.
Otherwise, he would not have been the common lord of Soul Beasts rather than the common lord of the Dragon Clan.
But now, with the Dragon Transformation Art, all things could become dragons.
Didn't that mean he could create another glorious age for the Dragon Clan?
"You can all choose to cultivate the Dragon Transformation Art first. Once you successfully transform into dragons, you can switch to the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, and passing Heavenly Tribulations will follow naturally."
"I can tell you clearly: cultivating the Ancestral Dragon Scripture allows you to ignore the oppressive might of Heavenly Tribulations. Break through a million years, and you can become gods."
The surrounding Soul Beasts fell silent.
Quite a few Soul Beasts actually had a sense of racial identity. If they all became dragons, wouldn't that mean abandoning their original races?
Especially Xiong Jun. He was a Dark Brown Terrorclaw Bear, with Behemoth blood flowing through his veins. In ancient times, his kind had even fed on dragons.
And now he was supposed to transform into a dragon?
Xiong Jun felt somewhat resistant.
