From a carp to a dragon god

Island in the middle of the lake, Jizhen Palace.

Yu Shuyang called all his disciples and Taoist children to his side. He was going to deduce the way to transform into a dragon, as this matter concerned the inheritance of Taoism.

Among the disciples, Wu Wei and Jin Buhuan were the leaders, among the Taoist children, Wan Jia and Tu Liu were the leaders, and side disciples like the bee demon Jin Hu and the firefly Cao Qing were also called over.

Yu Shuyang did not say anything extra. He first commented on the cultivation of the monsters and then reviewed the cultivation techniques for them.

His Taoist inheritance, in the final analysis, is the unity of Qi and the two principles of Yin and Yang. People like Wu Wei and She Qiuyan only practice the Xuanwu water method and do not involve the fundamental principles of the Tao.

Taking the current situation into consideration, Yu Shuyang prepared to teach his disciple in advance, lest he fail to overcome the tribulation and the lineage of his Dharma be cut off.

He took out the Dongyuan Xuantian Flag and activated the Galaxy Weak Water, the North Sea Mysterious Water and the Styx Black Water to develop a method of mixing the three waters to refine the real and transform the virtual.

“Wu Wei, She Qiuyan, you two should practice the Xuanwu Water Method, and you can’t just limit yourself to the Xuanwu method.

There is one thing you two must remember, and pass on to your disciples in the future: the Taiyin Xuanwu Dao, which cannot be cultivated without the reversal of heaven and earth!"

Yu Shuyang looked at his two disciples with a rather serious expression. Ever since he had refined the Taiyin Winter Wind Talisman and caught a glimpse of the phantom of the Tianyuan from it, he finally understood why Yang Fuzi and Sheqiuzi were unable to refine the Xuanwu technique.

If he had not been reincarnated from the Fuli world, perhaps even if he knew how to use Zi water and Hai water mixed with Xu and Shi to refine the Xuanwu Turtle Book, he still would not be able to succeed.

Even though Yang Fuzi possessed the Black Water Technique and even had the prohibition on offering sacrifices to the Soap Carving Flag, he still could not practice it, simply because the Xuanwu Avenue was sealed into the abyss.

In order to practice the Xuanwu Water Method, Wu Wei and She Qiuyan had to use Yu Shuyang's magic power as a seed before they could sacrifice and refine spiritual materials into talismans. Even so, they were both corrupted by the turtle and snake natures some time ago.

After Yu Shuyang gave instructions to Wu Wei and She Qiuyan, he explained to them in detail the changes of refining the void into reality and refining the reality into the void.

While he was talking, Jin Buhuan, Yu Lishui and Yu Zangfeng were also listening with fascination. The three of them practiced magic sword and had been exposed to the changes of yin and yang at an early age.

People like Wan Jia, Tu Liu and Yun Hua have followed Yu Shuyang for a long time. They each have their own unique inheritance. They can listen to the changes between reality and illusion and combine it with their own learning, and they have also gained a lot.

The worst off are Jin Hu and Cao Qing. Neither of them has any bloodline inheritance, and it can be said that they have no foundation at all. They are usually not around Yu Shuyang, and when they listen to Yu Shuyang's sermons, they are like stone heads.

On the contrary, Qifeng and Song Yu were the most relaxed. Qifeng had studied in the Taoist temple and had already understood the Tao. It was natural for him to listen to the Tao at this time. As for Song Yu, he had just sensed the Qi and could not understand anything he heard.

Yu Shuyang started with the changes between reality and illusion, and then talked about movement and stillness, water and fire, yin and yang. After he finished talking about the four changes, he used the five-colored divine light and the black water mysterious light to transform into a pheasant and a black snake to demonstrate the changes of the one qi and the mixed primordial energy.

This kind of change, which involves the fundamental nature of the Great Dao, is extremely difficult even with the blessing of the Dao of the Qiankun Circle, just like reversing the acquired into the innate.

To be honest, the best way to inherit the One Qi Hun Yuan is to start with the Wei Chen chess manual, and then comprehend the Wei Chen Qi from it, and thus understand the Way of the One Qi Hun Yuan.

However, just as the Xuanwu Avenue is sealed, the Yiqi Hunyuan is even more so.

Wu Wei and She Qiuyan practiced the Xuanwu Water Method and could use Yu Shuyang's magic power as seeds. However, they wanted to practice the Weichen Qi, but they had no "seeds" to use.

By the time he finished talking about Yi Qi Hun Yuan, seven days had passed. While Yu Shuyang was preaching, he did not feel the passage of time. Only when he stopped did he feel a little tired.

Seeing that all his disciples and Taoist children were exhausted, Yu Shuyang stopped preaching and let them rest for a few days.

He called Jin Buhuan, Yu Lishui and Yu Zangfeng to his side.

"You three are of the Happy Fish bloodline, and I have awakened the Dragon Carp bloodline. This time, I called you all here not only to preach, but also to discuss something with you.

Our Xiyu clan has always had a great enemy. My master is about to overcome the tribulation and break through to the fifth level. When that time comes, he will inevitably have to fight against the Wensi Snake.

After much consideration, I plan to practice the way of dragon transformation, which requires you to inherit the dragon carp bloodline."

After Yu Shuyang finished speaking, he looked at his three disciples. The Xiyu lineage in the East China Sea already had two fifth-grade demon immortals, and its power far exceeded that of the Xiyu Fudi lineage.

Under his persuasion, the fish father and the fish mother have already sown fish fry in the South Lake, preparing to use the most stupid method to cultivate the fish spirit.

Now, he wants to transform into a dragon and become a great dragon god. The dragon carp bloodline and luck in his body need to be passed on to the Xiyu lineage of the East China Sea, so he wants to choose one of his three disciples to inherit it.

The three disciples were still dizzy and had not yet recovered from the sermon. It took them a long time to realize what their master had said.

"Sir, the three of us are all your disciples. It's better for you to choose who will inherit your bloodline, so as not to embarrass us three."

Jin Buhuan took the lead in persuading.

They have followed Yu Shuyang for many years, and it is no longer the time for them to be happy. They have a good understanding of the Taoist Alliance's inheritance and the fortune of the Dharma lineage.

Yu Shuyang thought about it and understood Jin Buhuan’s concerns. They were confusing the dragon carp bloodline with the Dharma inheritance.

"Don't overthink it, you three. This matter has nothing to do with the inheritance of the Dharma lineage. It's a private matter within our Xiyu lineage.

You don’t know that our Xiyu lineage comes from the Wenli inheritance. In the Wenli inheritance, in addition to Xiyu, there are also Longli, Wisdom Fish, Yangyu, Yinyu, Yayu, etc.

I want to practice the method of transforming into a dragon. The bloodline of the dragon carp and the inherited luck of the literary carp need to stay in the Xiyu lineage of the East China Sea.

Don't feel pressured, you three. Our Donghai Xiyu clan is quite small. Apart from you three, there are only five of us left, including Fathead Fish."

Yu Shuyang finished his speech and made a joke with a smile.

However, Jin Buhuan and the other three kept a tense look on their faces. They all knew that inheriting the dragon carp bloodline would bring great benefits, but they didn't want to ask for it openly.

Yu Shuyang also noticed the three disciples' little tricks, sighed, and said, "Kendo is about refinement and purity. How can you be said to be embodying the spirit of Kendo by being so indecisive?"

No matter whether one practices sword of magic, sword of command, or sword of control, what one is cultivating is nothing but the edge of the sword, that is, the will to break everything and cut everything.

Jin Buhuan, Yu Zangfeng and Yu Lishui were scolded. They didn't care about anything else and looked at each other. Yu Lishui spoke first.

"Sir, I am willing to inherit the dragon carp bloodline."

Yu Lishui’s aptitude for cultivation is most similar to Yu Shuyang’s. He has always been suppressed from learning swordsmanship. He didn’t realize it at first, but later he gradually understood it.

That is why Yu Lishui is very low-key in front of Yu Shuyang and dares not show off at all.

Yu Shuyang nodded. He pulled off a piece of fish scale from his body, handed it to Yu Lishui, and said, "I'll give you seven days. If you can't awaken the dragon carp bloodline, you won't have a chance." There was still some flesh and blood left on the fish scale, and because Yu Shuyang practiced the ferocious dragon bone, the fish scale had an indomitable will.

When it comes to comprehending the dragon carp bloodline, unyielding will becomes the biggest obstacle. This is also a test for his apprentice by Yu Shuyang, so that Jin Buhuan and Yu Zangfeng will not say that he is biased.

After the matter of the dragon carp bloodline was dealt with, Yu Shuyang calmed down and began to consider the decision of transforming into a dragon.

So far, he has three methods of transforming into a dragon, namely - Tai Sui Dragon God, Tian Feng Dragon God, and Zhen Long Dragon God.

Among them, Tai Sui Dragon God is a supplement to the Celestial Dragon, which is equivalent to a subordinate of the Great Canglong Dragon God. Yu Shuyang would definitely not choose this path.

Speaking of which, he used the Eight Diagrams to decipher the Great Dragon God's Way and had already calculated that there were thirty-two positions of the Great Dragon God, and currently only eight positions were occupied in Middle-earth.

Theoretically, he could choose any of the remaining twenty-four great dragon gods. However, considering his cultivation aptitude, which is in the metal and water element, the likes of Lihuo and Xunmu were excluded first.

Moreover, the status of the Great Dragon God is not as simple as he thought. It involves the laws of the Great Dao and the Dragon God's Dao Fruit.

Yu Shuyang didn't realize this at first. It was not until the great dragon god Canglong came to remind him not long ago that he understood the secret.

When the disciples of Daotian Sect came to fight, both humans and demons did not fight to decide the winner, but competed for the ability to control the Middle-earth world.

The eight great dragon gods who remain now have all refined the great Dao of heaven and earth to become dragon gods, thereby controlling the origin of the Middle-earth world.

For example, the great dragon god Canglong occupies the image of Qiantian, that is, the celestial dragon. He is the leader of the thirty-three great dragon gods and has an extremely special status. That is why the witch god wants to replace him with Qinglong.

Now, Yu Shuyang wants to transform into a dragon and become a great dragon god, which is equivalent to occupying an original avenue for the demon clan, and behind it involves the conflict between humans and demons.

To be honest, Yu Shuyang was very disgusted with this. He felt like he was being forced by Canglong to transform into a dragon. Especially after Li Taiping helped him analyze it, this feeling became more intuitive and stronger.

If it weren't for the threat from Taiping Lake Dragon Lord in front and the threats from Wensi Snake and Wuhun in the back, Yu Shuyang would never have considered transforming into a dragon and becoming a Great Dragon God.

The current situation has forced him into a dead end. If he doesn't transform into a dragon and change his bloodline, he will be restricted by Xiyu's divine oath and can only face the breakthrough alone.

By that time, Taiping Lake Long Bo would sense the Great Dragon God's position and would certainly kill him. He was a first-grade demon immortal, and even Yang Fuzi and Yin Chenzi might not be able to defeat him even if they joined forces.

Even if there is no Dragon Lord of Taiping Lake, there is still the Insect King hiding in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and the Wensi Snake hiding on Taibai Peak.

One of them is good at the art of pulling lives, and the other is good at the art of attaching lives. If they really put all their efforts into killing him, he will definitely not be able to face them alone.

It can be said that the only thing that can be done now is to get rid of the divine oath by transforming into a dragon. Canglong suppressed Taiping Lake Longbo and the Insect King as promised.

He doesn't have much time left, and he must transform into a dragon before attracting thunder and overcoming the tribulation. In other words, he can only choose between the Great Dragon God Tianfeng and the Great Dragon God Zhenlong.

Zhenlong, the great dragon god, represents wind and thunder, which is comprehended from the cloud clothes of the kidney. The changes of wind and thunder are beneficial, but they are also the way of change.

The Great Dragon God of Heavenly Wind represents the Qiantian controlling the wind. This is what Yu Shuyang realized when he was practicing the Eight Winds. The Heavenly Wind transforms into dirt, which is also the way of Yishun.

Both seem to be related to Xunfeng, but in fact they have nothing to do with wind.

Let’s first talk about the wind and thunder behind the Zhen Dragon. This is when Xun and Zhen are in opposition, that is, the scene of wind and earthquake in the sky. It is an opportunity for the heaven and earth to stir and for yin and yang to change.

It was also because of this that Yu Shuyang was able to comprehend the Way of Zhenlong from the Kidney Cloud Clothes, which is equivalent to the creation of yang essence and yin essence.

At the beginning of human conception, it is conceived by the father's sperm and the mother's blood. The essence contains innate qi, which combines with the mother's blood to become the soul. This is exactly the stirring of wind and thunder, and the birth of yin and yang.

It can be said that the status of the great dragon god Zhenlong occupies the avenue of essence and energy, or in layman's terms, the so-called dragon essence.

Yu Shuyang used the Black Tortoise Book to deduce that if he occupied this path, the dragon clan would flourish and the dragon clan would be able to reproduce the scene of the blue dragon giving birth to children with all the beasts.

As for the Great Dragon God of Heavenly Wind, there is wind in the world and all things are flourishing. This is the circulation of wind between heaven and earth, which happens to be in line with the four seasons and eight winds in the Eight Winds Mantra.

The Heavenly Wind was related to the vitality of the earth, which made Yu Shuyang somewhat apprehensive. He was afraid of attracting the attention of Heaven's will.

You must know that the will of heaven is only temporarily trapped in the dreamland. Once stimulated, it can still show its power, just like the White Crow Immortal at the beginning, who directly forced the Five Thunder Gods to unleash the great catastrophe of heavenly punishment.

Yu Shuyang didn't think he could withstand the great calamity of heaven's punishment. The best way was to secretly follow the Emperor of Dongyi and others, starting with weakening humanity and finding the hidden witch soul.

As long as the witch soul is killed, and then the ghosts and gods of Taiyue, Houtu Palace, and Dimu Palace are united to seize the authority of reincarnation from the hands of Heaven, it will be difficult for Heaven's will to reverse.

It can be said that from beginning to end, Yu Shuyang had only one choice left, and that was the Great Dragon God Zhenlong that he comprehended for the first time.

The Dragon Uncle of Taiping Lake also sensed the Avenue of Wind and Thunder, and thus created the Blood Dragon and the Brocade Dragon. The Blood Dragon corresponds to the fertility of the dragon spirit, while the Brocade Dragon corresponds to the shape of the dragon spirit's cloud clothes.

Yu Shuyang thought about it for a long time but couldn't make up his mind. He called all his disciples and Taoist children to discuss the matter.

Five or six days passed, and seeing Yu Lishui feeling the fish scales and transforming the happy fish blood into the dragon carp blood bit by bit, Yu Shuyang did not let them rest and began to preach again.

This time he took out the Yin-Yang True Shape Fan. This magic weapon was woven with the feathers of a big wind bird. Of course, the two fan leaves were made of purple air, and contained the true forms of the Tai Chi Green Ox and the Liangyi Green Sheep.

Yu Shuyang first talked about the changes of yin and yang, dividing one qi into clear and turbid yin and yang, and then talked about the changes of yin movement and yang stillness, yin and yang, and Tai Chi yin and yang.

After the Tao was finished, he activated the Yin-Yang True Form Fan, revealing the Tai Chi Green Ox and the Liangyi Green Sheep. The Green Ox could suppress all changes, and the Tai Chi arc could turn into a golden bridge.

The Green Sheep divides everything, and the Liangyi Arc turns into two swords, which are none other than the Liangyi Dragon Beard Swords, which have the ability to divide yin and yang, and to promote the clear and suppress the turbid.

Yu Shuyang used the Taoist idea of Qiankun Circle to bless the Tai Chi Green Ox and the Liangyi Green Sheep respectively, in order to demonstrate the great changes of Tai Chi and Liangyi.

After the two sermons, Yu Shuyang began to discuss the matter of turning into a dragon.

"I am planning to practice the Dragon Transformation Technique. This matter has nothing to do with the Dao Lineage inheritance. I called you here to explain it to you clearly, so that future disciples will not be confused about the inheritance.

Our lineage involves many things, and fundamentally speaking, it can be divided into two branches: one is the way of the unity of qi and primordial energy, and the other is the way of yin and yang."

Yu Shuyang has been preaching and teaching these days just to get to the bottom of the matter, so that future generations won't be confused about the dragon transformation, and he has made it clear in advance.
