The first dragon, the strongest dragon
Although Sagara's appearance was Udumbara Flower.
But her domineering stance over the South Sea has already fully demonstrated her attitude.
Ao Jia and Ao Fei noticed this as well, and both glanced in the direction where Sagara had disappeared. However, after a brief moment of surprise, their expressions were completely different.
Ao Jia's emotion was a mixture of anger and sudden realization.
He finally understood why the South Sea Dragon King was so wary of this dragon girl.
In order to gain a relationship with this dragon princess, Ao Qin, who always emphasized the survival of the fittest, even went so far as to cultivate an unconventional dragon prince Ao Fei. As for Ao Fei at this moment?
His gaze was more complex, a look akin to the trepidation of someone returning home.
"If only I could stay young forever like you..." x2
With a murmur that only he could hear, Ao Fei withdrew his gaze as if from another world.
When Ao Fei decided to return to Black Water Pool, he was no longer the carefree and unrestrained wanderer he once was.
From childhood to adulthood, more important than mere age and mental development is the sense of responsibility and commitment that one willingly shoulders. When Ao Fei was kidnapped by Jiugui, he told her that he had left his Dragon Pearl on Subduing Dragon Island in order to escape.
To be frank, Ao Fei did not deceive Jiugui.
Because he knew that for someone of Jiugui's caliber, ordinary lies simply wouldn't be able to fool her.
Only by deceiving the other party with the truth can one possibly achieve their goal.
Take, for example, the Dragon Pearl left behind on Subduing Dragon Island.
That was indeed a supreme treasure created by Ao Fei using the entire wealth of the South Sea.
After all, although the South Sea Dragon King viewed Ao Fei as a playmate of the Dragon Girl Sagara, he might have harbored thoughts of going further.
If Ao Fei could become Sagara's companion, or even bear children with her, that would be possible.
Given the South Sea Dragon King's long-cherished wish to be the "strongest dragon," it's not impossible for him to replicate another Yinglong.
Therefore, Ao Fei has never lacked resources for cultivation.
The only thing limiting his cultivation advancement was his own talent and his lazy, unambitious personality.
Aside from the possibility of a targeted trap on Subduing Dragon Island, Ao Fei didn't lie to Jiugui Ao Fei a single word.
Unfortunately, Ao Fei was completely unaware that Jiugui had already joined the plan to resurrect the first Witch King, and didn't care about his own life or death at all. It's hard to say whether the act of forcibly abducting Ao Fei was influenced by this mentality.
In the end, Jiugui didn't fall for the deception, but Ao Fei, who had found his own emotional home, became restless. So, not wanting to live with guilt for the rest of his life, Ao Fei finally chose to say goodbye to Tengshe and return to Black Water Pool.
Then came the ending where Ao Mo escaped, Jiugui died, Ao Fei was imprisoned.
What no one knew was that in the few days between Jiugui's death Ao Fei's imprisonment, he encountered Xiangliu and Ao Zhen. At that time, Ao Jia had successfully broken Jiugui's [Nine Transformations in One Day] Divine Ability with [Samadhi True Fire].
However, he was also seriously injured and could not catch up with Ao Fei immediately.
Of course, Ao Jia didn't think it was a big deal, because he had already left a backup plan for Ao Fei.
With just a little time, Ao Jia was confident that once he recovered, he would be able to capture it quickly.
As it turns out, Ao Jia's confidence was indeed genuine.
Unfortunately, he overlooked the events that had transpired in Ao Fei's life before this.
Jiugui's unexpected death caught many people off guard and disrupted all the plans that had been prepared.
Let's leave aside Xiangliu's anger; after all, that was his own sister.
Even Ao Zhen didn't expect that his elder brother could actually kill that Ancient God who had lived for three thousand years.
At that time, Ao Zhen unaware that Jiugui still had a wisp of obsession that escaped into the Sea of Alaya Consciousness and was reborn Mahoraga.
He had only one thought in mind: how could he get the plan back on track without the Bora Flower?
In particular, we mustn't let Wu Xian know, or we'll be in big trouble.
Although Ao Zhen hadn't known Wu Xian for very long, he was well aware of how obsessive Wu Xian was.
Behind that seemingly calm and kind elder lies a madman who would stop at nothing for the sake of the Great Xia.
Fortunately, Ao Zhen wasn't entirely unprepared for this.
As early as when Jiugui intercepted the Bora Flower, Ao Zhen realized that the plan would definitely have many twists and turns, so he decided to study the essence of the Bora Flower and try to replicate it.
Here, we must mention Ao Zhen's [Mind-Aspect Barrier].
As a standard ability of top-tier shamans, [Mind-Aspect Barrier] is one of the very few Secret Method that has yet to be deciphered and popularized by the Mountain Folk. This has nothing to do with the difficulty of its cultivation; it's simply that there are too few people who meet the requirements.
To cultivate the [Mind-Aspect Barrier], the first condition is that one's "mind" must be strong.
To put it simply, the more stubborn and obstinate a person is, the higher the chance of them achieving a [Mind-Aspect Barrier].
But this creates a new paradox.
If a person is truly obsessive and stubborn, then their learning ability and talent for spiritual practice are obviously unlikely to be very high.
In other words, [Mind-Aspect Barrier] is not suitable for beginners at all.
Only those experts who have reached the pinnacle of their field and have sufficient confidence in themselves are qualified to access this secret of materializing their own minds.
However, there are always exceptions, and Ao Zhen is one of them.
As a dragon-snake hybrid like Ao Mo, Ao Zhen's maternal bloodline is Tengshe.
One of Tengshe's abilities is to understand Yin and Yang, and to know good and bad fortune, giving it the true power to defy fate.
As the winner of the gene lottery, Ao Zhen perfectly combined the advantages of both dragons and snakes, and foresaw his own death shortly after birth. If it had happened before the Dao Ancestor descended to earth, Ao Zhen's foresight would have been meaningless.
If fate were so easily rewritten, there wouldn't be so many cultivators who, even after becoming Dao Proving One beings, still struggle to change their destiny. Su Ao Zhen fortune lies in the fact that in the era of his birth, the Mountain Folk had already widely adopted divination methods and used the Bagua Compass.
Just before Ao Zhen was dying, Wu Zhen had been moved by something, came to his side.
(In serpentine language) So you are my successor?
Amidst the magnetic hissing of the snake, Ao Zhen spotted the figure with its head tilted to the side.
He fiddled with the compass in his hand while observing Ao Zhen, who was struggling to hatch, with a slight raise of his eyebrows.
(In serpentine language) Hmm, quite tenacious indeed...
(In snake language) I like your personality. From today onwards, you will inherit my name!
Amidst an undisguised chuckle, Wu Zhen bit her finger, leaving a mark symbolizing inheritance on Ao Zhen's brow. "(Snake language) I've always felt that the ' Heavenly Eye ' left by the Dao Ancestor for the Mountain Folk is far too absurd."
"(In snake language) But if I really had the chance, I would hate that I don't have the abilities of the Dao Ancestor, and can only leave you with such an incomplete legacy."
(In snake language) Ever since Yinglong pioneered the "Method of the Inner Elixir," that Deception Rabbit has been bragging to me about his son...
"(Snake's language) He said his son will definitely become the first dragon in the world, even surpassing Divine Lord Meng Zhang to become the strongest dragon." "(Snake's language) I don't expect him to become the first dragon, after all, Divine Lord Meng Zhang, Ji Meng, and Torch Dragon are also vying for that position." "(Snake's language) But I think you could try to get the title of 'strongest dragon'."
