Chapter 796 Transforming into a Thunder Dragon, the White Wolf Delivers a Message [Please Subscribe]

Kunwu Mountain.

On this day, clouds gathered on Kunwu Peak, and another sign of the formation of the Golden Core appeared.

Zhou Chun, who was cultivating, looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky and smiled slightly, saying, "Is that Yuan Xin, that kid? He's got some good luck!"

Indeed, the cultivator who triggered the Core Formation celestial phenomenon at this moment was none other than Zhou Yuanxin, the descendant who nurtured the Zhou family's second Thunder Flood Dragon.

As a cultivator possessing a third-tier Thunder Flood Dragon and indirectly responsible for the birth of the Zhou family's fourth dragon, Zhou Yuanxin naturally had no problem exchanging for a Core Formation spiritual item.

He even had the resources to purchase additional Core Formation items on his own, in addition to the basic Core Formation materials.

In fact, the Zhou family now possesses abundant resources, and many capable Zhou family Purple Mansion stage cultivators will try their best to purchase spiritual items from outside that do not conflict with the spiritual items arranged by the family for Core Formation before they form their core.

This became much easier after the Zhou family obtained the method for refining talisman jade.

Because the Zhou family is capable of refining talisman jade, their good deeds can now be directly exchanged for talisman jade at a certain ratio. Due to limited production capacity, talisman jade is currently very popular outside.

Zhou Yuanxin's successful formation of the Golden Core was obviously very smooth. He only spent a little over a year consolidating his power before leaving seclusion to visit Zhou Chun's cave.

This has become the Zhou family's current practice: every newly promoted Golden Core cultivator who successfully completes their cultivation journey will immediately come to pay their respects at the cave dwelling of Zhou Chun, the family's ancestor.

As is customary, Zhou Chun, the patriarch of the family, would also open his private treasury at this time, allowing newly promoted Golden Core cultivators to choose a treasure from it.

When Zhou Yuanxin arrived outside Zhou Chun's cave, Zhou Chun, sensing his arrival, sent his son Zhou Xinyuan to greet him.

"Junior Zhou Yuanxin greets the young patriarch."

Outside Zhou Chun's cave, Zhou Yuanxin, a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator, greeted Zhou Xinyuan, who was only at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, with great courtesy and took the initiative to bow.

Actually, the two had a pretty good relationship, after all, they weren't that far apart in age.

However, since they were currently outside Zhou Chun's cave, Zhou Yuanxin dared not be impolite, lest he leave a bad impression on Zhou Chun, the patriarch of the family.

After a slight pause, Zhou Xinyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Congratulations, Yuanxin, on your successful Core Formation. Father already knows why you've come and has specially ordered me to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuanxin quickly bowed towards Zhou Chun's cave and said, "Ancestor, in the midst of your busy schedule, you still have the time to care for this junior. I am truly grateful!"

Then, following Zhou Xinyuan, they entered Zhou Chun's cave.

A moment later, he met Zhou Chun in a guest room inside the cave.

"This junior, Zhou Xinyuan, pays respects to the venerable ancestor!"

He glanced at Zhou Chun briefly, then quickly lowered his head and bowed deeply to express his respect.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need to be so reserved. Now that you have successfully formed your core, you will be a high-ranking member of the Zhou family. You don't need to be so restrained in front of me. I don't have that many rules here."

"Yes, this junior will obey the ancestor's instructions."

Zhou Yuanxin responded respectfully, but he didn't dare to really relax.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun knew that he needed more time to adapt, so he didn't say anything more.

After offering a few words of encouragement, he flicked his sleeve and said, "Xinyuan, take Yuanxin to the C section of the secret vault and choose a treasure."

"Your son obeys."

Zhou Xinyuan responded and led the way.

Zhou Yuanxin, filled with excitement and gratitude, repeatedly bowed to Zhou Chun, saying, "This junior thanks Ancestor for his kindness and for bestowing this treasure upon me!"

Then, filled with excitement, he left with Zhou Xinyuan.

Not long after, Zhou Yuanxin, overwhelmed by the choices in the treasure vault, finally selected a mid-grade defensive magic weapon that suited him and left Zhou Chun's cave with satisfaction.

After Zhou Xinyuan saw Zhou Yuanxin off and returned to his cave, Zhou Chun suddenly looked at him and asked, "Your Jade Python has been stuck at the second-tier high-grade demon beast level for many years. When are you going to let it try to transform into a dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinyuan immediately replied, "Uncle Bai said that there is still room for purification in Mo'er's bloodline. It would be best to let it accumulate for a few more years before trying!"

"Alright, since Bai Bai says so, let's listen to him."

Zhou Chun nodded, but didn't say anything more.

His several demon king spirit pets also doted on this son.

For example, in order to increase the success rate of the black jade python transforming into a dragon, the Silver Dragon Lord granted it permission to reside in his nest, to be tempered by his own dragon aura, and to use the black dragon spirit blood stored by the Zhou family to help purify its bloodline.

The golden-armored dragon turtle had already broken through to the third rank and was often given guidance in its cultivation by Lord Fushan.

Even the Thunder Crane was taken in as a subordinate by the seemingly unrelated Lord Yishan, who often fed it good food and guided it in the path of demon beast cultivation.

Several years later, after Luo Qingni refined the Great Pill made from the demon core of the Heavenly Roc Demon King, her cultivation indeed made great progress, and she was not far from reaching the barrier of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

Therefore, after thanking Zhou Chun upon leaving the seclusion, she continued her arduous cultivation, preparing to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage in one go.

The secret technique that Zhou Chun was cultivating had reached a crucial moment.

It turned out that after years of arduous cultivation, aided by a continuous supply of fifth-order Thunder Dragon Spirit Blood, Zhou Chun's painstakingly cultivated "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter" was finally about to break through to the Great Completion Realm.

From Zhou Chun's secluded cultivation spot, bursts of dragon roars emanated from his body, and silver lightning crackled around him, vaguely forming the phantom of a thunder dragon.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chun suddenly opened his eyes, formed hand seals, and shouted, and the phantom of the thunder dragon immediately disappeared into his body.

Then, lightning erupted from his body, and he transformed into a silver lightning dragon.

Immediately afterwards, a clear and melodious dragon roar rang out from Kunwu Peak, and then a silver thunder dragon, more than ten feet long, soared into the sky and danced in the air.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of many Zhou family cultivators inside the mountain gate, and many who were unaware of the situation were wondering about the origin of this silver thunder dragon.

This silver thunder dragon was not the Silver Dragon Lord they were familiar with, and its four claws and three toes did not match the third-tier thunder dragon owned by Zhou Yuanxin, the elder of the Zhou family.

Moreover, many Zhou family cultivators could see that although the silver thunder dragon in the sky was small in size, the aura it exuded was in no way inferior to that of the Silver Dragon Lord, and it was definitely a fifth-order existence!

If they hadn't known it was impossible, some Zhou family cultivators would have even suspected that the dragon clan of Longyuanze had come to attack again.

Just a dozen breaths after the silver thunder dragon appeared in the sky, another joyful dragon roar rang out from the Thunder Dragon Swamp. Then, the Silver Dragon Lord, whose body was tens of feet long, also soared out of the water and flew towards the silver thunder dragon in the sky.

Soon, a rare scene of two dragons dancing together appeared in the sky.

The commotion even alerted the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord on Chang Geng Peak.

With the eyesight of the avatar of the Tai Geng God, he naturally recognized the origin of the silver thunder dragon that was over ten feet long at a glance.

He couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "This lad truly has a lot of good fortune. The Heavenly Spirit Sect's secret technique in terms of physical transformation is unparalleled among humans. If he can comprehend this technique, his chances of surviving the 'Crimson Qi Tribulation' in the future will increase!"

For cultivators to break through to a higher realm, physical body, magical power, and divine consciousness are always the three most important elements.

If one has a strong physical body, there will be more room for error when undergoing the "Crimson Tribulation of Vital Energy". At least if one is about to explode and die, it will take longer than for someone whose physical body is not as strong.

Moreover, "The Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter" not only enhances Zhou Chun's physical strength, but also improves his perception and control of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even his control over his physical body in all aspects.

In the eyes of the avatar of the Tai Geng God, these things were far more important to Zhou Chun than the increase in his combat power.

However, Zhou Chun in the sky was unaware of all this at the moment.

He was contemplating the gains he had made after transforming into a thunder dragon.

Unlike his previous transformation into the Lunar Moon Toad using the power of the Moon Toad Pearl, he now transforms into a Thunder Dragon using secret techniques, which actually reduces the burden on him.

After all, the power of his secret techniques and supernatural abilities was ultimately something he acquired through his own arduous cultivation.

Unlike the relatively weak physical body of the Moon Toad, the Thunder Dragon's body is extremely powerful, filled with explosive force.

After Zhou Chun and Yinlongjun flew out of the Zhou family's protective mountain formation, they immediately engaged in a hand-to-hand combat in the sky, fiercely fighting claw to claw.

In this battle, when it came down to a simple contest of physical strength, Zhou Chun, with his advantage in cultivation, was not much weaker than the Silver Dragon Lord!

Moreover, he "inherited" many of Silver Dragon Lord's supernatural abilities, such as the Thunder Escape Technique, the [Heavenly Divine Thunder], as well as the [Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Slash], the [Nine Heavens Thunder Prison], and the [Thunder Light Purgatory Claw], etc.

Apart from the supernatural powers that Silver Dragon Lord awakened after advancing to the fifth-tier Demon King, and the supernatural powers he mastered by cultivating the secret techniques of the Flood Dragon Clan, Zhou Chun can now basically use all the supernatural powers he possessed before becoming a fifth-tier Demon King.

Furthermore, although these supernatural abilities were those that Silver Dragon Lord possessed before reaching the fifth level, Zhou Chun is now essentially a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so the power of those supernatural abilities should not be underestimated.

The key point is that this is not even his strongest state after using this secret technique.

The strongest form of this secret technique should be when used in conjunction with the spiritual treasure, the [True Dragon Seal].

If Zhou Chun were to use the True Dragon Seal to unleash the True Dragon Possession supernatural power, he might truly become another Silver Dragon Lord!

To verify his conjecture, Zhou Chun quickly deactivated his transformation and returned to the cave with the Silver Dragon Lord. He then took the [True Dragon Seal] from the Silver Dragon Lord and began to refine it.

Two weeks later, Zhou Chun went out again, confirming his suspicions.

As expected, after being empowered by the [True Dragon Seal], he instantly transformed into a silver thunder dragon, directly tapping into the source of his bloodline's power and mastering the Silver Dragon Lord's [Shattering Heavenly Thunder], [Undying Body], [Ten Thousand Thunder Domain] and other divine abilities. In fact, the power he unleashed was even stronger than that of the current Silver Dragon Lord!

In this way, there is no need to give the [True Dragon Seal] spiritual treasure to the Silver Dragon Lord anymore.

After all, the Silver Dragon Lord already possesses the even stronger [True Dragon Shadow] divine power, as well as the [Thunder Dragon Roar] divine power, which overlaps with the [Heaven and Earth Dragon Roar] divine power.

Silver Dragon had no objection to this.

He only needs the Heavenly Thunder-Slaying Sword. The True Dragon Seal will enhance him, but it is not essential.

Meanwhile, the benefits Zhou Chun gained after mastering the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: True Dragon Chapter" made him pay even more attention to the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter" cultivated by his second nascent soul avatar.

Although he started later than the original, judging by the time, it shouldn't be long before Immortal Bingming's "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter" is also completed.

Furthermore, ever since True Immortal Bingming established his cave abode and dojo in the Snow Dragon Ridge of the Ice Barbarian Kingdom, he has almost never left his cave.

Sometimes, when Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Ice Barbarian Kingdom came to visit, wanting to discuss the path of cultivation together, he would refuse them entry, citing seclusion as the reason.

Over time, the high-level cultivators of the Ice Kingdom came to know that this True Person Ice Nether was a rare ascetic, so they rarely came to disturb him.

However, cultivators who want to enter the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold for cultivation have always been coming in droves.

Every time the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold announces a recruitment notice, it attracts a large number of cultivators to apply.

This situation arose naturally because the first group of people who tried it out, after gaining much from listening to Master Bingming's teachings, spread the news.

In fact, a few years ago, a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator even successfully formed his core on Snow Dragon Ridge!

With these examples before us, those ice-attribute cultivators who progressed slowly through their own cultivation naturally wanted to join the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold and seek guidance from the Nascent Soul stage cultivator, True Person Bingming.

That day, as night fell, a mournful howl of wolves suddenly echoed through Snow Dragon Ridge.

At first, the cultivators in the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold did not pay much attention to this, because such a situation was too common in Snow Dragon Ridge.

After all, Snow Dragon Ridge is connected to the Ice Plains, and the area outside the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold is the territory of monsters, so it is perfectly normal to see some wolf monsters.

However, as time went on, the wolf howls not only did not weaken, but became louder and louder, even affecting the cultivators in the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold through the mountain-protecting array, making some cultivators feel restless and unable to enter a meditative state.

Upon discovering this situation, the Golden Core cultivators who were meditating in the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold immediately became vigilant.

He knew very well that the ability to exert such an influence on the cultivators inside through the protective mountain array using only wolf howls was definitely not something an ordinary wolf demon could do; it was most likely a fourth-tier wolf demon.

Although with the strength of the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold, even ten fourth-tier wolf demons would be easy prey.

However, if the fourth-tier wolf demon disturbed True Person Bingming's cultivation, it would undoubtedly be a sign of their incompetence as subordinates.

Immediately after discussing the matter, Zeng Yu, a veteran Golden Core cultivator with mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, left the protective array alone to investigate the situation.

He flew about a hundred miles in the direction from which the wolf howls came, and then he saw a giant white wolf howling at the moon.

The aura emanating from this giant wolf was only at the lower level of the fourth rank, but Zeng Yu felt it was extremely dangerous, even more so than the upper-level fourth-rank demonic beasts he had faced before!

This gave him a jolt, and he immediately wanted to retreat to the stronghold.

But at that moment, the giant white wolf suddenly turned its head to look at him, and a human-like mocking look appeared in its wolf eyes.

escape!

Zeng Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He hurriedly summoned a white, bowl-shaped magic weapon and suspended it above his head, releasing a white light shield to protect himself. He then rushed towards the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold.

But he had only flown less than twenty miles when a wolf's shadow flashed in front of him, revealing the figure of that giant white wolf.

Before he could react, the white giant wolf turned around and slapped him with its paw.

In an instant, Zeng Yu felt as if he had been hit by a giant beast. The light shield formed by his magic weapon shattered, and cracks appeared on the magic weapon itself. He coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing onto the snow.

But just as Zeng Yu was feeling dizzy and thought he was going to die today, the white giant wolf stopped its actions and did not take his life.

He only felt the white giant wolf give him a deep look, and then he felt something appear on his chest.

Once he recovered from the dizziness and regained his senses, he could see clearly what the extra thing on his chest was.

It turned out to be a wolf skin scroll with pictures drawn on it that Zeng Yu couldn't understand.

In the first painting, a tall giant, wielding a giant axe, beheads a white giant wolf.

In the second painting, the giant is seen holding the headless wolf carcass and drinking wolf blood.

In the third painting, the giant beheads an ice-armored giant bear with an axe.

Then in the fourth picture, the giant is again embracing the corpse of the ice-armored giant bear and drinking bear snow!

"What does this mean? Why did that wolf demon give me this?"

Zeng Yu looked at the pictures on the wolf skin scroll, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

But as the pain in his chest returned, and realizing that he couldn't even withstand a single blow from that giant white wolf, he seemed to understand something. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly put away the wolf skin scroll and quickly left the spot.

Unbeknownst to Zeng Yu, after he entered the stronghold with the wolf skin scroll, a white wolf shadow suddenly appeared in the snow behind him and then quickly disappeared.

After returning to the stronghold, Zeng Yu first took a healing pill, then took out the wolf skin scroll again and examined it carefully. After gritting his teeth, he took the scroll and headed to the cave of the Ice Nether Immortal.

Within the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold, the Ice Nether Immortal's cave dwelling occupies half of the area, with a separate array isolating it from the outside world.

Unless there's something important, no one dares to disturb this senior's ascetic practice.

After arriving outside Master Bingming's cave, Zeng Yu hesitated for a while before mustering his courage and calling out loudly, "Senior Bingming, this junior Zeng Yu has important business to discuss!"

As he called out, he also gently activated the array in front of him to prevent Ice Nether True Person from being too engrossed in his cultivation from not hearing his own voice.

After a while, just as Zeng Yu was starting to have second thoughts, the formation in front of him opened up, and a white-clad man with an indifferent expression walked out.

"What brings you to disturb my meditation?"

Master Bingming gave Zeng Yu a cold look, his tone clearly showing displeasure.

Upon seeing this, Zeng Yu was startled and quickly lowered his head, saying, "Senior, you are wise. I just encountered a strange incident and thought that the other party might be trying to use me to convey some information to you, which is why I dared to disturb you!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out the wolf-skin scroll and explained how he had been injured by the white giant wolf.

When Master Bingming heard his words and saw the picture on the wolf skin scroll, his face, which had been as cold and unchanging as ice, changed instantly.

He then immediately closed the scroll and whispered to Zeng Yu, "What happened tonight must not be mentioned to anyone. If even a single word leaks out, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

This change in his expression and tone was something Zeng Yu had never encountered before, even after following him for over a century.

Immediately startled, he hurriedly replied, "This junior obeys! This junior will return to his cave to recuperate and will not leave until Senior Bingming gives the order!"

"That's excellent!"

Master Bingming nodded in satisfaction and then retreated back into his cave.
