Chapter 1 Rebirth

  It took Old Lei a while to calm down before he slowly introduced Chen Xuan.

  "Pitaya, as the name suggests, is something that only the dragon clan has. I didn't expect this small mountain range to have such a thing. Let me tell you, kid, with the pitaya, you can directly refine the essence of the Jiao's blood. This pitaya should also be what the Jiao swallowed when it evolved and awakened its own dragon pulse, transforming into a true dragon. But you interrupted it, and since then, true dragons have disappeared from the mainland along with the pitaya."

  "What effects does Lychee and Dragon Fruit have?" Chen Xuan asked.

  "The growth of the dragon fruit must be accompanied by a true dragon to mature. The dragon fruit can only serve as a means to enhance one's strength for others, but it has great use for those who possess the essence of the Jiao. I'm excited not because I got the dragon fruit, but because you have the essence of the Jiao in your hands, and it's already awakened half of the dragon vein. If the dragon vein hadn't been awakened, having the dragon fruit would be of little use to you, at most helping you boost some strength. It's only when these two things are combined that I get excited." Lí old said with an excited tone.

  "In ancient times, there were people who obtained the Fire Dragon Fruit, but wanting to get the dragon's essence blood was impossible. In ancient times, it was the world of true dragons, and who dared to provoke a true dragon? The Fire Dragon Fruit paired with the essence blood of Jiao and refined together would transform your bloodline into a true dragon bloodline, turning you into a True Dragon Body. Your strength would undergo a heaven-shaking transformation. From ancient times to now, only a few true dragon bloodlines have appeared, each one becoming a legendary figure in the end. I didn't expect that I, an old man, would be fortunate enough to witness the birth of a true dragon bloodline."

  "What is Wanlong Zhen Ti?" Chen Xuan asked.

  "Let me put it this way, an ordinary person's body can cultivate to the postnatal 7th or 8th rank at most, those with slightly better innate talent might reach the Spiritual Warrior realm, and even fewer might reach the True Warrior realm. Geniuses might go further, but everyone will eventually hit a wall, that is, the peak of their cultivation. Whether they're geniuses or ordinary people, there's always a point where they can't break through their own bottleneck. But the Wanlong True Body is something only a genius among geniuses could achieve - as long as one cultivates without end, they won't have any bottlenecks. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Old Lei said with a trembling tone.

  "In other words, from now on, as long as you have enough spiritual energy, you can directly advance to the next level. Isn't this what everyone dreams of?" Old Master Li added.

  This is also why the true dragon dominated the ancient world, no matter how good a human genius cultivates, they can't surpass the true dragon. In ancient times, many people had ideas about defeating the true dragon, but not one succeeded.

  "Lai Lao, you said that ancient time was how many years ago." Chen Xuan asked.

  "About ten thousand years."

  "Are there still real dragons now?"

  "Ten thousand years ago, a war between humans and demons broke out on the mainland. The demon clan attacked humanity, causing immense suffering and loss of life. The entire cultivation world's elite was almost wiped out before they managed to drive the demons away. However, human cultivation regressed by several thousand years as a result. From that time on, true dragons never appeared again; perhaps they collectively ascended to another realm."

  "Lao Li, I came from Earth, are there humans in other dimensions as well?"

  "The entire universe is so vast, and the Earth is just a part of it."

  "Lai Lao, from now on I'll help you ascend and be reborn. Don't let anyone know that I came from Earth. Earth has no cultivation, if people with ill intentions find out, I'm afraid they will invade Earth in the future, and Earth will become a society of slaves; after all, that's my hometown."

  Chen Xuan's words were heavy and heartfelt towards Lao Lai.

  "Don't worry, kid, I know. I won't tell anyone about how you came from Earth to here; after all, it was me who brought you."

  "Lui Lao, you still haven't told me how to become a True Dragon Body."

  "It's simple, just swallow the essence and dragon fruit at the same time and refine them simultaneously. During this process, your body may experience severe pain, but I'm not entirely clear about the specifics either - I also learned these from some books. Have you thought it through? If you fail, there's a possibility that the energy of the essence will burst your body apart. From my perspective, I'd rather you didn't refine it, after all, that way I still have a chance to seize your body and be reborn. But if you fail, I'll also scatter into nothingness. Still, I want to witness the birth of a True Dragon Body with my own eyes."

  Li Lao introduced Chen Xuan to his powerful connections.

  High risk comes with high return, this is a phrase that Chen Xuan's past life often said, unexpectedly today he really encountered such a thing, if successful he would become the real dragon, but if failed then everything would be lost without any chance of rebirth.

  "Lai Lao, roughly what percentage of assurance is there?"

  Chen Xuan still needs to understand it a bit more clearly.

  "Half and half!"

  It's over, if it doesn't work out then so be it. I remembered a famous saying from my past life, after all, I still have half a chance left.

  He took out the essence of Jiao's blood from the Lingjie, and then placed the dragon fruit in his left hand.

  "It's up to you now."

  After finishing speaking, he glanced at two things.

  Two mouths swallowed the dragon fruit and essence blood, a massive energy burst out of Chen Xuan's body, his clothes were instantly turned to dust, Chen Xuan felt his blood burning, as if there was a huge fireball rampaging endlessly inside his body.

  "Pain..."

  It can no longer be described as pain what Chen Xuan is feeling now, it has exceeded the category of pain. Not only his body is enduring torture, but his soul is also suffering from torment. Chen Xuan really wishes he could faint immediately, that's the only way to escape.

  However, the soul is still so clear and the energy of the essence is repeatedly washing Chen Xuan's body. The true power in the dantian is also undergoing changes, originally the green true power in the dantian is turning golden, and the blood in the body is also changing from red to golden, filled with a sacred breath.

  An hour later, the blood turned yellowish-brown and was still changing.

  Two hours later, the blood can be seen with a slightly golden color.

  Chen Xuan's face was distorted, looking like a devil crawling out of hell, the muscles and veins on his body visible under his skin, with fresh blood surging wildly inside.

  Half a day has passed, the pain is still ongoing. If it were possible for this kind of pain to kill someone, it would have killed me a hundred times over. If my soul wasn't still awake, I'm afraid I would have died from the pain by now.

  Chen Xuan's entire body was also emitting a faint golden light. If it weren't for his twisted face, Chen Xuan would have looked like a living Buddha at this moment.

  A desolate, ancient yet sacred aura emanated from Chen Xuan's body, it was the aura of a god, an aura that only gods possessed.

  The blood had already turned nine-tenths golden, the outer layer of skin also showed a faint golden color, the true energy in the dantian had completely transformed into pure gold, and even those few strands of spiritual energy had been transformed into gold.

  Chen Xuan's aura was rising bit by bit, which was another sign of breaking through. The heavenly and earthly spiritual energy nearby went crazy and surged towards Chen Xuan, and the spiritual energy within a few miles around him was sucked dry by Chen Xuan in one gulp.

  The demons of the Setting Sun Mountains all looked in this direction, they felt a breath that made them surrender, suppressing them so much that they couldn't even lift their heads.

  The true power in Dantian is growing rapidly, the breath is getting stronger and stronger, exhaling like thunder, only to hear Chen Xuan's every exhalation accompanied by thunder.

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

  The rocks in the cave were shaken down by Chen Xuan's air flow.

  Just a little bit more and Chen Xuan felt that his blood was almost completely transformed into golden color, hold on, after holding on for a while I will succeed, Chen Xuan repeatedly comforted himself.

  "Bang!"

  When the last drop of fresh blood turned golden, Chen Xuan also broke through to the Ninth Rank of the Post-Heaven.

  Looking up at the sky and letting out a long howl, the sound of dragon chanting spread throughout the entire Sunset Mountain Range. A nine-stage magic beast didn't even have the courage to stand up, and was scared into prostrating itself on the ground by the dragon's chant!
