From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 505 True Dragon Goddess
Yang Qinglian's seven orifices were already open, and at this moment her whole body was bursting with spiritual light. In an instant, a bright halo rose from the top of her head, and within the halo, there were dreamlike and illusory seven-colored flowing patterns.

Stepping from "Enlightenment" to "Profound Light" is no easy feat.

Besides needing to open the seven orifices and achieve perfect magical power, one also needs to have their will sublimate.

Only with a sufficiently firm will can one transform their magical power into light.

Yang Qinglian's cultivation speed was extremely slow due to her aptitude, but this honed her tenacious character, so she encountered almost no obstacles in reaching the Xuan Guang stage.

The breakthrough was a natural outcome.

All that could be seen was Yang Qinglian sitting cross-legged on the shore of Mirror Lake, her body radiating a cool, clear light that vaguely resembled a lotus flower.

In comparison, the scene when the White Dragon broke through was much larger.

It wasn't just because the White Dragon had broken through from the third level of [Blood Return] to the fourth level of [Form Refinement], but more importantly, the White Dragon's bloodline aptitude was terrifying. His ancient Yinglong bloodline was being greatly awakened at this moment.

The surging, refined blood washed over its body like a tide. After repeated tempering, its bloodline was very close to the state of a true ancient Yinglong cub.

His body, too, seemed to be inflated and expanded like a balloon.

It then began to shrink again, becoming only a few feet in size.

The so-called "refining the form" is to continuously temper the body, both inside and out, through this process of change.

The white dragon's entire body was opening and closing, and the surrounding spiritual energy transformed into a huge vortex, with a massive amount of spiritual essence continuously pouring into its body.

This is why it's rare to see spirit beasts with high bloodline levels in the human world.

Because each breakthrough consumes an astonishing amount of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, You Ming has the supply of Azure Divine Wood, and the cave can automatically gather spiritual energy, making the spiritual energy concentration in this area extremely high.

During this process, the white dragon's bones made a series of dull sounds, and its scales peeled off and were reforged little by little.

You Ming could clearly feel that dramatic transformation, his bones and muscles breaking and then growing back, his blood and qi surging like rivers and seas, and his spirituality growing in his bone marrow.

After about half a day, an ancient golden light flashed in the little white dragon's eyes, and he let out a long dragon roar.

The spiritual energy of the entire Mirror Lake surged and flowed backward, the streams hung upside down, the plants trembled, and even the distant spirit birds were startled and took flight.

Golden patterns appeared on the white dragon's body, and the newly grown scales were less immature and more resilient and substantial than before.

Its dragon horns, too, transformed from soft bone into lustrous jade.

At this moment, although the little white dragon is still a juvenile dragon, it has already entered the ranks of teenage dragons in appearance. Its body is normally stretched out and is already a hundred feet long. If it were to use the [Form Refinement] divine power, it could even expand to a giant size of five hundred feet.

"His."

The little white dragon let out a long, drawn-out roar, filled with excitement.

Yang Qinglian slowly opened her eyes. Although she tried hard to suppress her joy, it still showed itself unnaturally in her eyes.

Although Chen Xiujie said that the [Mysterious Light] realm was not a remarkable level, and could even be obtained easily, Yang Qinglian had been cultivating for more than six years and had spent a lot of time struggling with her aptitude, so she cherished her current strength all the more.

You Ming watched from the shadows as the two children both broke through in strength, and he felt very gratified.

Although he wasn't very old himself, he felt the satisfaction of a father watching his children achieve good grades at school. It really wasn't easy.

Previously, Yang Qinglian and her companion, one with poor aptitude and the other with a stubborn personality, had given You Ming a real headache.

However, for some reason, when You Ming looked at Yang Qinglian, he felt that there seemed to be a bit more of a majestic and dignified aura between her eyebrows and eyes.

"I learned from interrogating Kan Kun that before the little white dragon was born, a dragon vein was sealed in his body, which could assist the hidden dragon in the human world."

"Could it be that Qinglian'er is now affected by the dragon vein?"

A thought suddenly flashed through You Ming's mind, and he couldn't help but think: Yang Qinglian and the White Dragon signed the [Same Origin Contract]. The power of the dragon vein had no effect on true dragons, so it naturally began to affect Yang Qinglian, who was a human.

"The wonder of fate is truly astounding."

Although the last Black Tide riot was temporarily suppressed, it does not mean that war and turmoil in the human world will be eliminated.

Although the dynasty seems to be at its peak, many crises are lurking. The last disaster triggered a war that affected several states. If there are a few more such upheavals, the world will be in chaos.

You Ming merely interfered with Yang Qinglian's fate casually, yet she somehow acquired some of the destiny of a "true dragon." However, no empress, queen, or duke ever appeared in this world.

I wonder what changes she will bring to the world now that she has this destiny of a true dragon.

You Ming thought with a bit of curiosity.

As his strength improved day by day, he adopted a more condescending attitude towards many things.

Even a major event like the struggle for dragons among humans, which could influence the course of history, is nothing more than that when placed on a scale of thousands or tens of thousands of years.

……

On Bibo Lake, the water is clear and calm.

The Three Thousand Miles of Green Waves Lake, with its vast expanse of water, is located at the junction of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Sizhou, a strategically important location.

If you look down at the entire Bibo Lake from a very high place, you can see that it vaguely resembles a large toad, and one of the toad's "eyes" and some "spots" on its face form the islands in the middle of the lake.

Apart from the largest island in the very center, Toad Heart Island, there are twelve other smaller islands.

The surrounding void rippled slightly, and You Ming's body slowly emerged from there.

He was dressed in a silver outfit and wore a dark gold crown, which made him look more capable than his usual lazy demeanor.

When You Ming appeared, he did not conceal his aura, so the Water Lord, who was far away in the Water Palace, sensed his presence immediately.

The Water Lord of Azure Lake opened his eyes, slowly rose, and the water beneath his feet parted on its own.

The lake water automatically adhered to his body, naturally transforming into azure-gold armor and a jade belt around his waist. His long, pale hair was bound by a double-horned crown. Although he was old, he still gave off a sense of vigor and vitality.

It has to be said that official power really does nurture people.

Although Fengshui Hebo has served as the Lord of Bibo Lake for less than a year, his power has increased considerably since then.

With his elevated status, his demeanor naturally became more dignified and extraordinary.
