Become a fairy alone

The giant purple python remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh, "Fine, then so be it." He knew that Lu Xiaotian was right, but he just couldn't accept it for the time being.

After all, he had been entrenched here for so many years, and even the two Thunder Sound Vine Tigers had to obey his commands. Now, he had suddenly fallen to such a state, even worse than the Thunder Sound Vine Tigers before. This drastic change was indeed not easy to bear.

However, the result wasn't too bad. At least he could still stay and comprehend the mysteries of the lightning patterns. Having tried to refine the Dao patterns for so many years, he had gained some understanding of them. Even if he withdrew his aura and didn't refine them himself, he still had some chance to comprehend them.

If he's lucky enough to comprehend its mysteries and his strength increases significantly, even if Lu Xiaotian doesn't come to collect the dragon-shaped soul imprint within him, once his cultivation reaches a certain level, he might be able to solve the problem on his own.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little better.

"Xiao Tian, ​​do you want me to stay?" Yan Ji looked at Lu Xiao Tian, ​​having already guessed his meaning from his previous words.

"Yes, this ancient Lei Jianmu tree is extraordinary. The Dao patterns contained within it are still currently unclaimed, which is a great opportunity for you. If you miss this opportunity, you may never encounter the same chance again."

Lu Xiaotian nodded, "Whether it's a conflict with the Puppet Emperor or the old monster of the Dragon Clan, the consequences are unpredictable. I might not be their match. Compared to their deep-rooted influence in the Chaos Void Realm, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to defeat them on my own. You need to maintain the passage here and wait for reinforcements. I will leave a wisp of my divine sense here to study the Great Dao patterns with you. If we can gain something here, it will be of great help to us later."

The Witch Emperor and the Primordial Dao Ancestor are temporarily considered his allies, but from beginning to end, Lu Xiaotian has never regarded them as reliable partners. This alliance is not solid, and if sufficient benefits or a great crisis arise, this temporary alliance of interests could fall apart at any time.

Previously, circumstances did not allow it, so Lu Xiaotian tried his best to maintain this alliance.

However, with the appearance of the Gulei Jianmu tree and the temporarily subdued purple python, Lu Xiaotian has another option.

It's unrealistic to expect the giant purple python to help him without reservation, or even to fight against the old monsters of the dragon race or the Puppet Emperor. This guy's cultivation is not weak, and he is almost on par with Wu Di. When Lu Xiaotian fights other old monsters, under certain circumstances, he cannot completely stop them from refining the dragon-shaped mark in their bodies.

However, inside the Ancient Thunder Jianmu, by using the chaotic thunder energy of this place to control the array restrictions to suppress the opponent, there is no such concern. As long as the opponent does not go too far away from the Ancient Thunder Jianmu, he can be easily controlled.

Having already become familiar with the spatial structure here, with Yan Ji left behind, along with the purple giant python and the ancient Lei Jianmu tree, opening a passage from the Chaos Ruins side is relatively easy.

If we can find the ancient Heavenly Dragon with the bloodline of the Hidden Dragon Clan, and add the Southern Heavenly Emperor who has taken over the body of the Evil Punishment Heavenly Dragon, and then remove one or two strong individuals from the Dragon Realm, and combine them with Yan Ji, it would be enough to form a formidable force that could play an unexpected role at crucial moments.

"Okay!" Yan Ji was naturally willing to stay with Lu Xiaotian, but she was by no means someone who was easily swayed by romantic feelings and could easily see through the dangers involved.

With her current strength, her role with Lu Xiaotian is indeed limited. Even though Lu Xiaotian has never looked down on her, in a sense, she often makes him hesitant and makes it difficult for him to fully unleash his potential.

In contrast, staying in Gulei Jianmu to sense these major Dao patterns and further absorb the thunder magic aura of this place would have indescribable benefits on her cultivation strength.

Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji stood side by side, lightning flashing around them. In the next instant, they arrived at the core of the Ancient Thunder Jianmu, with the giant purple python following closely behind.

The three major avenue patterns, nurtured by the purple python over countless years, have acquired a considerable amount of the demonic aura, manifesting as a blurry python shadow that slowly slithers through a hazy aura of lightning magic.

The three Great Dao patterns were simply unprecedented. Even now, Lu Xiaotian had only managed to barely comprehend two of the Space Great Dao patterns using the Sky Heaven Cauldron.

There is clearly a difference between the two. What Lu Xiaotian is currently comprehending is to sense the Daoist principles within the previously broken patterns, and to continuously repair them in the process of comprehension.

What we are seeing now is the Great Dao pattern formed by the ancient thunder tree, which absorbs endless thunder magic energy and condenses it. This is a process of gestation from nothing to something.

The texture in front of me is incomplete, but it gives a feeling of vigorous growth and exudes a kind of inexplicable vitality.

These major Dao patterns are based on the power of chaotic lightning. Yan Ji only used her divine sense to detect them initially, but she could feel a strange sense of affinity.

As for Lu Xiaotian, he naturally felt it more clearly. When he was cultivating the spatial Dao patterns before, he had a sense of incompleteness that made him quite uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the Sky Emperor Cauldron as a buffer, Lu Xiaotian would have found it difficult to grasp the two spatial patterns in such a short time on his own. The process of comprehending them was extremely difficult; he was completely clueless at the beginning and stumbled along the way to where he is now.

Although the lightning patterns before them were not fully formed, they still felt smooth and flawless to him and Yan Ji, as if this was the true principle of the universe.

According to information previously revealed by the Primordial Dao Ancestor, the most hidden place in the Chaotic Void Realm, the Ascension Ladder to Godhood, may reappear. At the end of the ladder, there may be a method to weave a divine core using Dao patterns, but the prerequisite is that one must first cultivate enough patterns. Otherwise, one might not even be qualified to try.

Lu Xiaotian had a strange premonition that whether it was the Puppet Emperor or the old monster of the Dragon Clan, he probably wouldn't need to deliberately seek them out. At the moment the Ascension Ladder appeared, these two old monsters, the Five Elements Primordial Sect, or other reclusive powerhouses from various races in the Chaos Void Realm would most likely meet unexpectedly before the Ascension Ladder.

"Would you like me to withdraw the energy from inside now?" the purple python said with a reluctant expression.

He had persevered here for many years, watching these few major paths grow to their current state with great difficulty. He had poured most of his effort into them, but now he had to hand them over to someone else. The bitterness in his heart was beyond words.

Although Lu Xiaotian did not completely cut off his path to advancement, he still allowed him to stay and comprehend the text. However, the greatest benefits would inevitably be taken by Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji. Once the texture was fully formed, the other party could directly refine it.

He needed to start from scratch and cultivate his Dao patterns anew, and the thought of the time that would take made his scalp tingle.

In addition, the Ancient Thunder Jianmu, a treasure of the thunder element, will naturally fall into the other party's hands after its thunder magic patterns are fully formed.

The purple python sighed. Even though it was unwilling, it could only accept reality. After all, it had failed to outmaneuver its opponent, but it had still managed to retain its energy and had the opportunity to continue improving. Being confined here for a period of time was already the best outcome for it.

In fact, apart from Gulei Jianmu, he really didn't want to go anywhere else for the time being.

Having a good understanding of himself, he also actively cooperated with Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji. "No need, I'll do it myself." Lu Xiaotian shook his head, and after getting closer, he decided to try it himself. If it didn't work, then he would let the other party do it. In the process of extracting the other party's aura, Lu Xiaotian was also able to further familiarize himself with the patterns of these three Thunder Law Paths.

The great battle between the Witch Emperor and Lei Yin Teng Hu is about to end, and they won't stay here for too long. In the relatively limited time available, Lu Xiaotian naturally wants to familiarize himself with the three patterns in front of him as much as possible.

The divine consciousness left behind is far inferior to what his true self comprehended personally.

With a slight movement of his divine sense, Lu Xiaotian condensed a cyan dragon shadow using chaotic lightning power.

The dragon's body meandered, moving between the three Thunder Law Path patterns, and a faint divine soul fluctuation spread outwards.

These three lightning pythons, manifested from lightning patterns, inherited some of the habits of the purple giant python. They had a natural fear of this level of dragon might, and the chaotic lightning power on their bodies was extremely similar to the aura of the cyan dragon shadow.

During their mutual probing, Lu Xiaotian's spiritual energy had gradually penetrated deep into the lightning magic patterns. The aura of the purple giant python within was also being expelled little by little.

The purple python watched from the side, its heart trembling. The changes in the Dao patterns before it appeared calm and uneventful, but just thinking about how difficult it was for Lu Xiaotian to cast the spell with such ease made the purple python feel frightened. This was much more difficult than suppressing him with the Dragon Soul Flying Sword before.

The aura he left in the Dao patterns was extracted little by little without causing any obvious fluctuations in the law lightning power inside, nor any resistance. This was not only because the other party's cultivation was high enough, but also because his primordial spirit was incredibly strong.

It turned out that when the opponent attacked him earlier, they hadn't even used half of their strength. Thinking of this, the purple python felt a bitter taste in its mouth. The gap in strength between them was too great; it couldn't be bridged by ordinary means.

Roar! The Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds reverberated outwards, not as a sonic killing technique as before, but more of a deterrent, capable of disrupting divine consciousness.

The three great paths that had transformed into thunder pythons became dazed under the influence of the sound waves.

The azure dragon opened its mouth wide, and a strange aura of lightning magic was continuously drawn into it.

The figure with the three great lines remained blurry, with wisps of electricity shooting outwards. Before long, its shape began to subtly change, slowly surging and transforming into a blurry dragon shape.

Yan Ji's eyes lit up. Because of her relationship with Lu Xiaotian, she could feel him becoming inexplicably closer to her during the transformation of several Great Dao patterns. It was fortunate that Lu Xiaotian did it personally. If she had done it herself, with her current cultivation level, she didn't know how long it would have taken to achieve the current effect.

"The Dragon Lord's cultivation is truly awe-inspiring and admirable." After his initial surprise, the purple python said with genuine admiration. He was completely convinced at this moment, but also felt a bit of relief, realizing that his previous understanding had been somewhat flawed.

The other party didn't necessarily want him to deal with the aura left in the Dao patterns; rather, they wanted him to stay and help Yan Ji maintain the stability of this area, and to help reopen the passage when necessary.

"Truly worthy of being a Dao pattern naturally nurtured by heaven and earth." After a long while, Lu Xiaotian sighed softly, coming back to his senses from the profound fluctuations of the Daoist energy of thunder.

"I wouldn't call it reaching the heavens and the earth. The path of cultivation is endless, and I've only just begun," Lu Xiaotian replied, shaking his head.

In the past, before defeating the Four Heavenly Emperors, Lu Xiaotian had only recently entered the Heavenly Dragon Realm and was somewhat arrogant. Only a few Heavenly Emperors from the various realms could contend with him by joining forces and using the Creation Jade Disc.

In a one-on-one fight, no one could rival him.

Before and after defeating the Four Heavenly Emperors, Lu Xiaotian was indeed unmatched. However, with the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons, he first encountered the Witch Emperor, who suppressed him with the power of the ancient witch clan totem.

Later, he encountered the Dragon Clan's old monster, the Puppet Emperor, and came into contact with the Dao patterns. Only then did Lu Xiaotian discover that there was an even higher realm above his cultivation.

The arrogance of that time now seems somewhat laughable.

Ever since hearing about the Heavenly Ladder to Godhood, which allows one to weave a divine essence using the patterns of the Great Dao, Lu Xiaotian felt even more insignificant about himself.

With his current cultivation level, he already felt incredibly wonderful upon touching the patterns of the Great Dao, but Lu Xiaotian couldn't even imagine how amazing it would be to weave a divine core with a sufficient number of patterns.

"This is just the beginning? What do you mean by that, Dragon Lord?" The purple python was startled. Judging from Lu Xiaotian's expression, he didn't seem to be joking at all.

The other person didn't seem to have any particular relationship with him, and there was absolutely no need for them to joke with him.

Lu Xiaotian's current strength has far exceeded his imagination. If this is only the beginning, then what is he?
"Once you've mastered the Dao patterns, you'll gradually be able to access another realm." Lu Xiaotian smiled upon hearing this, without explaining further.

Before the words were finished, a shrill scream rang out.

The giant purple python was startled and quickly looked in the direction from which the scream came. Ever since it started fighting Lu Xiaotian, it had gradually lost control of its surroundings and its senses were not so clear.

At this moment, Lu Xiaotian sorted out the aura within the patterns of the Thunder Law Great Dao, and took the opportunity to control the surrounding array restrictions. The purple giant python was attracted by Lu Xiaotian's amazing move and naturally ignored the situation on the Thunder Sound Vine Tiger's side.

"Dragon Lord, if it seems possible, please spare those two Thunder Sound Vine Tigers." The purple giant python hesitated for a moment, but still pleaded with Lu Xiaotian.

"What's your relationship with them?" Lu Xiaotian asked.

"Our relationship is alright. Over the years, they've helped me a lot. They've done a lot, even if they haven't done anything special," the purple python said.

"It's getting late. I can't control what happens to the Witch Emperor anyway. Let's try our best to leave them with a remnant soul." (End of Chapter)
