From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 83: Transformed Dragon and True Dragon

After Bai Ze sang the prophecy three times, he automatically disappeared, leaving only Yu Shuyang, Yu Fu, Yu Mu, and Li Zhen.

Fortunately, the four of them are all fairies, so they don’t feel tired or exhausted even if they don’t sleep in the middle of the night.

Yu Shuyang took back the Bailin Zhanyuan Sword. The Dharma image lost its magical support when it was bestowed with the power, and automatically disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the Bailin Zhanyuan Sword in his hand no longer felt like a metal collar, but seemed as slippery as a snake's body.

Not only did the sword edge open, but it also achieved the transformation of a dragon and a snake. The sword body was restrained in its divine light, without any golden or silver feeling, leaving only a round and slippery charm.

"Jiuchun'er, what kind of practice are you doing?" Yu's father's face was full of confusion.

Earlier, the father and son had a heart-to-heart talk. Yu Shuyang first said that he had the opportunity to learn the way of swordsmanship and could at least cultivate to the level of a fifth-grade demon fairy.

He was afraid that he had been cast as a poisonous bait by some evil magic, so he asked the Great Immortal Xiyu to help him with divination. Fortunately, the results were all good, so he fulfilled his son's wish.

Later he talked about how the wind method harmonizes the metal and water elements, and how powerful the wind method is. He was busy planting Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum water some time ago, and his ability to summon wind and rain was also terrifying.

According to his idea, the next breakthrough would require the form of a sword or a gust of wind. He never expected that it would end up being a water palace.

"Old man, don't you have this little bit of vision? It's obvious that I am a practitioner of three methods. Didn't you see the three talismans when the Dharma image was condensed?" Yu Shuyang put the Bailin Zhanyuan Sword around his neck while speaking.

Father Yu was speechless for a moment, his face looking very ugly. He said, "Come with me to the study. I have something to tell you."

So, under the sidelong glance of Yu's mother, the father and son slowly walked into the study, and Yu's father closed the door very solemnly.

"You bastard, you took off your fish skin clothes and have been messing around all day. Now you are trying to turn into a dragon." Yu's father said, suppressing his anger.

Yu Shuyang looked at Yu's father's furious expression and was a little confused about the situation. He turned around and took off the fish skin coat, revealing the three-foot-two-inch fish body.

The fish father looked it up and down, and there was no sign of it turning into a dragon. Usually, when a carp turns into a dragon, the only thing that happens is the fish scales and whiskers showing the dragon's appearance.

“That’s strange. How can there be a prophecy about transforming into a dragon when there is no sign of it?
This shouldn’t be the case, it doesn’t make sense…” Father Yu was silent and pondered over it.

Yu Shuyang turned around and put the fish-skin coat back on. He understood clearly from the previous and subsequent words that he was doubting that he was practicing the method of transforming into a dragon?

The problem is that turning into a dragon is not a sin, so why is Yu Fu so angry?
"Old man, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't keep hanging around in front of me." Yu Shuyang said bluntly.

Father Yu rolled his eyes at him, sighed, and asked his son to sit opposite him. He knew that some things had to be made clear, otherwise this daring brat would not hit his head and get a bump on it.

"You know why I'm so anxious and angry? I'm worried that you'll fall into the trap of evolving into a dragon.

Let me tell you this slowly. Since ancient times, aquatic creatures have been able to transform into dragons, especially carp, snakes and pythons. The path to transformation into dragons is the widest, and there are the most stories circulating.

"Do you know what happened to these dragon carps and snakes after they transformed into dragons?" asked Yu's father, heartbroken.

Yu Shuyang had never thought about this question. In his previous life, he was a human, and the human race in the Fuli world was strong, while the demon race was mostly insignificant. Cultivating a spirit pet to transform into a dragon was also a method of cultivation.

In the past ten years in the East, he spent most of his time in the blessed land and only went out three times: once to survive a calamity, once to look for treasure, and the last time was to go to Danhuang Cave Heaven.

"Transforming into a dragon means changing one's bloodline. Whether it's a snake transforming into a dragon, a carp transforming into a fish-dragon, or a turtle transforming into a dragon-turtle, one must give up one's own bloodline. What is this? This is a demon that betrays its clan, abandoning its own bloodline, and the dragon it transforms into is despised by the real dragons.

In fact, only wild monsters and hopeless aquatic creatures can transform into dragons. They endure for 1,500 years and risk their lives for a chance to break through to the fifth level.

For aristocratic immortals like us, this is the stupidest thing to do. Transforming into a dragon is tantamount to betrayal, and the consequences will be miserable.

"You must have heard of a dish called dragon liver and phoenix marrow. Think about it, is the dragon liver the liver of a wild dragon or a real dragon?" Father Yu said slowly.

Dragon liver and phoenix marrow are the signature dishes of the immortal banquet. When paired with fine wine, it is the highest-standard banquet in the world of the East.

Yu Shuyang also understood the meaning of Yu Fu's words. Wild cultivators and aquatic creatures without any inheritance, even if they practiced hard for 1,500 years to transform into dragons, would still be wild dragons and just a dish of dragon livers waiting to be slaughtered by others.

"That's impossible. Not to mention the Four Seas Dragon Palace, even in the Taiping Lake Dragon Palace, I've never heard of anyone daring to kill a dragon and take its liver.

Besides, the nine sons of a dragon are all different, so how can one clearly distinguish between real dragons and wild dragons?" Yu Shuyang said with a bit of disbelief.

"Or you're naive. The immortals from noble families and the wild monsters all practice cultivation, so how can we tell the difference?
First, look at the majesty of the clan emblem, and second, look at the family heritage. People like our Xiyu clan are born with a sense of joy and auspiciousness, and those who know the business can see it at a glance.

The last one, of course, is just talking. When he can't win, he won't reveal his identity. Is he going to stand there and be killed?
The distinction between true dragons and wild dragons is easier to distinguish. True dragons are all descendants of the Great Dragon Gods. There are only eight Great Dragon Gods in the Eastern Land. Any dragon without the power of a Great Dragon God is undoubtedly a wild dragon.

Father Yu knew the ins and outs of this very well. He was restricted by the Book of Immortals method and had no hope of breaking through to the fifth level to become a demon immortal. He had even thought about turning into a dragon.

Once you find out, you will realize how powerful it is. It will be even easier to change your bloodline when you turn into a dragon. At that time, you will have to move away from your clan and become a wild dragon.

Not only does he face the oppression of gods who hunt dragons for their livers, but he is also oppressed by the blood of real dragons. If he wants to have a good life, he has to join the Dragon Palace and sell himself as a slave.

"Is it impossible to transform into a real dragon or a great dragon god? Isn't it achieved step by step?" Yu Shuyang found it unbelievable.

"What a joke! What you said is just like saying that as long as you practice hard, you can improve from the ninth rank to the first rank, or even escape the calamity and ascend to heaven.

Do you know what this is called? It's just a fool's dream. Not to mention the distant past, old Mojika died in the late ninth rank. You experienced this firsthand and helped him find a solution.

"There's no way to cultivate a true dragon; it's a bloodline inheritance. A wild demon can only become a Great Dragon God. You should know what a Great Dragon God is, right?" Father Yu said helplessly at the end.

There are only eight great dragon gods in the world of the East, all of whom can represent the existence of dragons. For example, Qinglong is the true form of the dragon, and Yinglong is the true nature of the transformation of dragons and snakes.

To sum it up in one sentence, the great dragon gods are the pinnacle of dragon practice, and each of them has opened up a true dragon path.

A wild dragon that has transformed into a dragon has no bloodline inheritance, so naturally it cannot cultivate the way of a true dragon. It can only rely on its own efforts to become a great dragon god.

Just as Yu's father said, theoretically anyone can cultivate from the ninth rank to the first rank, and for a wild dragon to become a great dragon god is nothing less than a foolish dream.

The most important thing is that one can practice from the ninth level to the first level step by step, but for a wild dragon to become a great dragon god, it needs to find a new true dragon path outside of the eight dragon gods.

　It has been revised three times, and the relationships between the Great Dragon God, the Real Dragon, the Wild Dragon and even the Transformed Dragon have all been made clear. Please take a look. If you have any suggestions, please leave a message. At the same time, I would like to ask for recommendation votes and chapter reviews.
