Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

The black-haired girl was stunned for a moment. Although Yan was not the first creature she had come into contact with, it was the only one that was still alive after she had been in contact with it.

In the past, all living beings that encountered the Spring of Life had died. Her mission was to guard the spring and not allow anyone to desecrate the blood of the dragon.

Yan is an exception, partly because the Dragon King had previously communicated with her, and partly because her strength prevents her from acting recklessly.

"I have no name."

The black-haired girl's expression turned somewhat somber, as if she had mentioned something painful.

Yan smiled and continued, "You are the daughter of the Dragon King, shall I call you Little Dragon Girl?"

"You mean, 'Little' Dragon Girl?"

The black-haired girl stood up. Yan's expression was a little strange, a mixture of suspicion and uncertainty, with a hint of expectation, but he did not resist her actions.

"How is it? Is it small?"

The black-haired girl asked calmly, displaying remarkable composure.

Yanxia replied very seriously, "Well, how about I call you the Great Dragon Girl?"

The black-haired girl wrinkled her delicate nose and shook her head, saying, "It seems like 'Little Dragon Girl' sounds better. Whatever you prefer."

"casual?"

flame

Yan gestured with his hand, then paused and said, "Really, it's okay to do whatever you want?"

"you……"

Several black lines appeared on the black-haired girl's forehead, and her voice clearly carried more emotion, seemingly a mixture of anger and shyness.

As Yan spoke, he gestured, almost as if he wanted to reach out and feel the fire again. This naturally displeased Xiaolongnu; if she could, she really wanted him to know just how red the fire was.

"Have you...enough...?"

The black-haired girl was clearly provoked by Yan's actions. She flung Yan's hand away, and golden light emanated from her raised wrist. The golden light gradually condensed and took shape, revealing rhomboid scales.

Golden light emanated from her body, resonating with the dragon bloodline within the Water of Life. Strands of golden light converged to form the shape of a golden dragon. A faint sense of threat crept into her heart. Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, but she still didn't make any significant moves.

He remained lying down, observing Xiaolongnu's state with interest. He crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back, and lazily said, "If you want to attack me, aren't you afraid of the flames?"

"You're a complete bastard."

Little Dragon Girl didn't know how to describe the guy in front of her. She originally planned to trick him, but she never expected it to develop into this situation.

Yan's eyes held a hint of mockery. "You're really trying to sow discord between us. You're incredibly stupid. Do you think you can survive if Lieyan gets really angry?"

Little Dragon Girl's expression turned cold again. She did not continue to argue with Yan and said indifferently, "A girl, before she was even born, her father had already decided to let her be alone for ten thousand years, guarding something that should not be her responsibility, and taking loneliness as a way of taking care of her."

"How much meaning do you think life still holds for this girl?"

Although Xiaolongnu didn't say it explicitly, her meaning was very clear: that girl was her, and the one who made her lonely for ten thousand years was the Dragon King.

"Clap clap clap..."

Yan clapped his hands, a gesture that startled Xiaolongnu. She stared at him, somewhat confused about what he meant.

Xiaolongnu's words were truly heartfelt, and Yan couldn't detect a single flaw in them. If he didn't know the details, he might have taken them as true.

After Yan finished clapping, he looked at the dragon girl in front of him and said with a smile, "After being the daughter of the Dragon King for so many years, living day after day as the Dragon Girl, you're almost convinced yourself, aren't you, Mother Demon King?"

"What did you say?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiaolongnu's face, but a trace of panic appeared in her eyes.

She was terrified at that moment. The mother demon king who had taken over the body of the dragon girl had considered many possibilities, but she had never expected this situation.

Her biggest secret had been discovered, and not by that enigmatic woman, but by the man she could see clearly in front of her. How did this man know all this?

Chapter 489 The Opportunity for the Breakthrough in Blazing Flames

Beside the Fountain of Life, when Lieyan heard Yan mention the words "Mother Demon King," he flashed and appeared beside the two of them.

"The Demon Queen?"

She first confirmed that Yan was safe, then her gaze toward Xiaolongnu became serious. After staring at her for a long time, she was still somewhat unsure whether what Yan said was true.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Xiaolongnu had regained her composure and, as she spoke, she propped herself up and walked out of the spring, while Lieyan did not immediately make a move.

Yan remained lying in the Water of Life, but his gaze had shifted outside. From his current position, he could see a vast expanse of white, clearly making out Xiaolongnu's plump, pert buttocks and long, shapely thighs.

This Little Dragon Girl has very long legs and is very tall, but her slender figure doesn't feel disproportionate at all. She has a perfect golden ratio, and her snow-white skin is even more beautiful than ice and snow.

"Why don't you put on some clothes first? I think we can talk; it doesn't have to be all fighting."

Yan spoke casually, but his gaze kept lingering on the Little Dragon Girl, staring intently at her most prominent features.

Are all humans this hypocritical?

Little Dragon Girl turned around to face Yan, her body's wonders fully displayed before him. "I can clearly feel that you want to see my body, so why are you making me put on clothes?"

As she said this, she glanced at Lieyan again and sneered, "Or are you just putting on an act in front of this woman?"

Lieyan didn't look at Yan, but stared at the little dragon girl and said seriously, "If you continue like this, even if Xiao Yan asks me not to make a move, I will still kill you."

Xiaolongnu's eyes changed for a moment, but her expression remained indifferent. As if she had given up, she did not argue but instead conjured up a cloud of white mist.

As the white mist dissipated, a new outfit appeared on Xiaolongnu's body. A long dress, the same color as snow, enveloped her perfect and voluptuous figure; although her chest was still almost spilling out, it was clearly much better than before.

With her black hair and white robes, she appeared ethereal and otherworldly. Coupled with her calm demeanor, her allure was not diminished by her concealed body.

"Let's talk."

Yan remained lying in the Water of Life. He felt that this substance was of great benefit to him, and the power of the divine dragon bloodline hidden within it also had high research value.

"What are we going to talk about? I don't think we have anything to talk about!"

Little Dragon Girl's gaze didn't change much. She first glanced at Lieyan, then looked at Yan, "You just mentioned the Mother Demon King."

If I remember correctly, she was my father's enemy, and they perished together ten thousand years ago. However, that mother demon queen was extremely powerful back then, and the power she unleashed before her death affected many things; perhaps I do carry her aura.

She offered a seemingly reasonable explanation, as if trying to cover up the matter of the Demon Queen that Yan had mentioned.

"This matter is not urgent. We have plenty of time. We can talk about this later."

Yan said calmly, "I'm quite interested in the essence of the Eastern Dragon martial arts and the fundamental techniques of the Divine Dragon Clan. You should know them, right?"

"You... alright, since he brought you here, it means he acknowledges you. You've been soaking in the Water of Life, so you'll naturally possess the power of the Dragon Clan. There's nothing wrong with practicing Eastern Dragon martial arts and the Dragon Origin Techniques."

Xiaolongnu seemed to have convinced herself with these words, or perhaps she wanted to buy time. After hesitating for a moment, she agreed to Yan's request.

"Look clearly, feel it with your heart."

As Xiaolongnu spoke, the faint golden light gradually intensified, and a powerful radiance burned on her body. As she spoke, she stretched out her arms, and her delicate body gracefully spun around once in the icy snow.

The golden light surrounding her body intensified as she spun, and a circular golden vortex appeared above her head.

This golden vortex had no offensive power, but it contained a profound and mysterious force. The rotating vortex seemed to give rise to a trace of primordial chaos, and even the raging flames seemed to take it more seriously at this moment.

The energy contained in this golden light was not enormous, but at this moment, it seemed to become the center connecting heaven and earth, as if everything in the world had been absorbed by it in this instant.

"Wuji" (无极).

Two words were clearly uttered from Xiaolongnu's mouth. Her delicate body turned again, and the color of the golden light suddenly changed, half of it deepening and half of it lightening, while it swirled and condensed into a circle.

It's like two fish swimming around and rotating, their eyes being part of each other's bodies.

The original chaos has become regularity. Within this strange energy of varying depths, it seems to contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and everything in the world.

"From the void arises the Taiji."

Facing Yan, Xiaolongnu let the Taiji diagram rotate above her head. Yan and Lieyan could clearly feel that the energy contained in the Taiji diagram was increasing wildly. It was not absorbing any one element, but the power of heaven and earth of all attributes in this world.

"The Taiji gives rise to the Yin and Yang."

As Xiaolongnu raised her hands, the enormous yin-yang symbol suddenly dispersed, and two kinds of golden light, light and dark, appeared simultaneously on her palms.

"The universe was originally without limit. From the limitless comes the Taiji, which becomes the law. From the Taiji comes the two polarities, which gives rise to Yin and Yang. Men are Yang, and women are Yin."

The Little Dragon Girl continued to evolve in wondrous ways, her voice becoming ethereal and elusive, yet resounding like the supreme Daoist chant, "Everything in the world is contained within it. Light and darkness, water and fire, earth and wind—all are contained within it..."

"This is the Tao and the principle, which is the way to become a god in this world."

Yan's eyes flashed, and the AI ​​in his mind began to operate wildly. He had only intended to take advantage of the situation, but he never expected that the Eastern Dragon Secret Technique and the Divine Dragon Origin Method would contain such profound mysteries.

Chaos and primordial chaos give rise to Yin and Yang and all things. This is the fundamental law of the world, and only a race like the Divine Dragon Clan, which should have existed since the beginning of this world, can inherit such a thing. Yan's trip to the Dragon Rider Nus Continent was definitely the right one.

Inside the Fountain of Life, Yan sat cross-legged, his eyes flashing as he continuously analyzed the situation. Neither the raging flames nor the Little Dragon Girl outside the fountain made much of a move.

Lieyan's eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if he had gained some insight into what Xiaolongnu had just demonstrated, but it seemed that he did not have a satisfactory result.

Xiaolongnu's body was tense, ready to turn on him at any moment, but she dared not be the first to make a move, and could only maintain a state of tension.

After a long while, Yan's eyes returned to calm, while Lieyan seemed to have returned to normal even earlier. Meanwhile, in Xiaolongnu's heart, she was already cursing.

Yan smiled at Lieyan to indicate that she was fine, and then asked about her condition, "Lieyan, how do you feel about what happened just now?"

"This Divine Dragon Origin Technique is quite profound, seemingly involving the secrets of the world's composition. I have understood what she has used, but I feel there are still some more mysterious aspects that I haven't fully grasped."

After thinking for a moment, Lieyan said, "Xiaoyan, you can try learning these things; they will be of great benefit to you."

Although we have all sorts of powerful skills, there are very few cultivation techniques or secret methods that involve these mysteries of heaven and earth, especially those that can even help gods.

Although Soul Masters in Douluo Continent are rarely matched among their peers, they rely on plundering the bloodline power of Soul Beasts, with very little personal enlightenment, making the path to godhood exceptionally difficult…

Lieyan's guidance was quite insightful, pinpointing the shortcomings of the Soul Master system incisively. Most of the things were simply taken and used without much originality, let alone any sense of personal path.

The original cultivation system in Douluo Continent was probably similar to that of the Yin-Yang Masters in the Five Elements Continent, except that one had to create various techniques and skills to cultivate power.

However, with the Dragon God's death in the ancient war, the Dragon Clan faced extinction. Soul Beasts, as descendants of the Dragon Clan, appeared on the Douluo Continent and inherited the Dragon Clan's tragic fate.

The gods in the divine realm defeated the beast gods, and naturally they suppressed the dragons and other beast gods' own kind. True dragons disappeared, the dragon race perished, and soul beasts were also targeted. The soul master system that emerged after the rise of humanity was most likely influenced by the divine realm.

Is the Soul Master system strong? Of course it is extremely strong. Although most Soul Masters are just users of power, their Soul Ring skills are among the strongest in any world at the same level, and are higher than the average level of most cultivators.

However, this power is not entirely from the cultivation of Soul Masters, but rather from hunting Soul Beasts to refine Soul Rings and plunder the original power of the Soul Beasts.

This system has developed for hundreds of thousands of years. Although Soul Masters are still powerful, they rely more on Soul Rings and Soul Bones and have lost their creativity.

Correspondingly, countless spirit beasts have become extinct due to the constant hunting by spirit masters, and they are now facing a survival crisis. From this perspective, the original purpose of the spirit master system has been achieved.
