Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 490 Adulthood
In many novels, the protagonist often goes into seclusion to cultivate, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands of years. Unfortunately, Leon couldn't do that. Not long after he refined the Primordial Purple Qi, he crawled out of the scorching lava in the volcano, shaking his head and flapping his wings.

Lyon knew very well that refining the Primordial Purple Qi was not something that could be accomplished overnight; it required painstaking effort. So he simply treated refining the Primordial Purple Qi as a job, a job that was done in months and years. He would come out for a breath of fresh air after being in seclusion for so long, thus balancing work and life.

Regardless of what others think, in his view, greater strength is meant to ensure a better life; it shouldn't be the other way around, abandoning life for greater strength and becoming a slave to power. If living isn't joyful, what's the point of immortality?

Time just passed by little by little.

Through refining the Primordial Purple Qi, Leon's strength increased at an astonishing rate.

Since he lacks a suitable opponent to test his strength, he is unsure just how strong he has become.

Anyway, he used to have to worry about the consumption of magic power, but now, apart from the magic power-consuming Law of Heaven and Earth, he can cast any spell at will, even though he has only refined a small portion of the Primordial Purple Qi.

Lyon had reason to believe that once he had fully refined and mastered the Primordial Purple Qi, magical power would have no practical meaning for him. It would be as if the money of those tycoons was just a string of cold numbers, unless he wanted to use supreme magical power to create the world, which would be quite difficult.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts is not only a method for cultivating immortality, but it also contains many supernatural powers and spells, allowing Leon to reach the state of "I have nothing to lack now". In reality, the supernatural powers and spells it contains are limited, such as the Universe in the Sleeve and the Rainbow Escape, which are not included.

In comparison, the Primordial Purple Qi is different; it contains the laws of heaven and earth and encompasses almost all spells.

Resurrection allows Leon to bring the dead back to life, restore flesh to bones, and allow the souls of the deceased to return to their bodies, achieving a rebirth and revealing the mysteries of life and death. It is essentially equivalent to a complete resurrection spell at the ninth level.

Leon's ability to fly and leave traces allows him to disappear into the heavens and earth, roaming the four seas, unknowable, unverifiable, and unobservable. He exists in the world, yet is not seen in the world, mysterious beyond mystery.

He mastered the Heavenly Eye Technique long ago, gaining true vision and even being able to see magic. However, the Heavenly Eye Technique is no match for the ability to see through walls—to see clearly and penetrate all directions, to see the heavens and the earth without obstruction, and to see clearly all things, including ghosts, gods, and people, whether they are hidden or real, large or small.

Using his powerful magic, Leon forcibly increased the height of the volcanic island, causing a massive tsunami in the Shimmering Sea. He then moved islands that were too far from the volcanic island—which were essentially large mountains—to a closer location, eliminating any longer the worry of not having enough people to live on the island.

Finally, Leon, who previously only knew how to use magic but never understood the principles behind it, was unable to teach it to others, not even his closest spouse. Now, having comprehended the laws of heaven and earth and entered the realm of "I gradually understand everything," passing on his skills, teachings, and expounding on the Dao is no longer a problem.

"Sharon, you are a Nether dragon, and you have an exceptional talent for magic. It's not too late to learn magic first and then follow me."

"Put the same effort you put into learning Meteor Explosion. Time Stop, Invincibility, and Prayer will be no challenge for you. You, as a Netherwing, have been trying to learn those spells for so long and haven't even mastered them. If you follow me to learn things like Body Movement, Hidden Space, and Heaven and Earth Manifestation, it will only be more difficult. It's not impossible that you'll never even get close to them in your entire life."

"Sheeta and Tana, you can learn from me. I don't know how talented you are."

Ninth-ring spells are already very powerful. Those legendary spells that exceed ninth-ring, such as Marvin's Worldweaving, Tolodin's Killing Winds, Island Creation, and the most famous Karthusden, are even stronger. Leon believes that Sharon has his own path and should first become a Grand Arcanist. He does not want Sharon to be half-hearted and has no demands on Sheida and Tana.

"Listen if you want."

Lyon wasn't that petty. He preached to his daughter without preventing his maid from listening. Learning even a breathing technique was considered a talent; after all, his Tifelin apprentice, Pera, without his instruction, still couldn't touch the Samadhi True Fire. A powerful dragon was one thing, but a high and mighty dragon god was quite another. Proud dragons hated being inferior, and no dragon liked being subservient, but seeking refuge with a dragon god wasn't shameful; if that dragon god was known for not being greedy, that was even better.

Dragons with ample time are always a beat slow to react, sometimes taking decades to exact revenge. It wasn't until several years after Lyon became the Dragon God that dragons began to come and join him. Among the colored dragons, blue and green are the most common; among the metallic dragons, almost all except gold dragons are represented; and among the gem dragons, emerald dragons are the most prevalent.

Year after year, Leon finally turned one hundred and entered adulthood, although before that no one had ever seen him as a juvenile dragon.

It would take even longer to fully refine the Primordial Purple Qi. As his strength grew, Leon felt that his former self was somewhat adorably naive. The reason was simple: he could easily defeat his former self now.

He simply hadn't encountered any powerful gods along the way. Those powerful gods couldn't be summoned, and they almost never directly interfered in mortal affairs; otherwise, things might not have been any better than Sun Wukong encountering the Buddha. Fortunately, he possessed the Primordial Purple Qi, and with the Primordial Purple Qi, there was a future.

Furthermore, as a Titanosaur and possessing the Crown of Karthus, Tarsera's current strength is approaching that of a weak demon lord. She can fight against the Kraken and the High Heavens, but it will be difficult for her to advance further.

Cecilia is slightly weaker than Tassera.

Fiora's faith is now widespread throughout the Kingdom of Zhen Dan, and mastering long-distance navigation will not be difficult within a hundred years. Her potential is higher than that of Tassera and Cecilia. The problem is that she does not have children yet. However, once she and Leon have children, they will at least be demigods.

Ishri is busy all day long but doesn't know what she's doing.

Laxia still became Queen of Lyon. Lyon has not yet stepped down as King of China, but he has basically stopped interfering in affairs.

Sheeta and Tana are still young dragons, while Sharon, as a young dragon, is gradually making his mark. Although his strength is still not as good as Leon's at the same age, he is much stronger than Leon as a king, at least in terms of ambition.

The Kingdom of Zhen Dan originally had a dozen or so dragons, but now it has dozens, and the number is constantly increasing at an ever-accelerating pace.

……

In short, many dragons firmly believe that the Age of Dragons is coming and that dragons will eventually rule the world.

It was a bright and sunny morning, with golden sunlight shining on the sea, making it sparkle.

Lyon sat quietly on the rocks by the sea, fishing, when suddenly he felt something and frowned slightly.

As a god, he knew he would never lose his senses for no reason; there must be some cause. Thinking this, Lyon did some quick calculations and concluded the problem lay in the north.
