Although Ji Yuan did not say much, every time he spoke a sentence or two, someone would ask further questions and discuss the details. Although Ji Yuan felt that he did not know much, when asked about key issues, he could not help but talk about a lot of things. The dragons and dragons discussed and argued with each other, and the topic of dragon corpse worms was frequently brought up, so the discussion lasted a long time before it ended.
In the evening, the old dragon Ying Hong and three other true dragons discussed the internal affairs of the dragon clan somewhere in the Crystal Palace, while Ying Ruoli and Ying Feng accompanied Ji Yuan in strolling around the Crystal Palace.
"Boom..." "Crack... Boom..."
“Hua La La…”
There was a constant rainstorm, with thunder and lightning flashing and moving in the clouds above, making the Crystal Palace even more dazzling from time to time.
Although the Crystal Palace is now placed on an island, the island below the palace is actually not large enough to support the entire Crystal Palace. Therefore, many palace buildings are floating on the water, while some are directly sunk into the water, forming a beautiful scene of precious light emerging from the water in this storm.
The huge palace seemed a little empty at the moment. Some dragons were either transformed into their original forms and lying inside the palace or on the roof, or taking a rest in human form. The heavy rain became gentle when it fell into the crystal palace, and the rain seemed to be gently beating, making the dragons' nap more comfortable.
"Uncle Ji, I think my father and the others will definitely spread the message to the four seas together, informing the Dragon Lords everywhere of what we discussed today. Perhaps other dragons will come as well."
As Ying Ruoli said this, she looked towards a dark red dragon perched on the top of a palace in the distance. Its amber eyes were always looking at this side. It was Gong Xiu who was destroyed by her own hands.
Ji Yuan didn't say anything and looked into the distance. Then the dragon lowered its head and closed its eyes, pretending to rest.
"Hmph, Uncle Ji, the news of the castrated dragon has spread among the dragon clan. If I were him, I would either find Ruoli and fight to the death according to the rules of the dragon clan. Even if I die, my dragon soul will escape into the water, and the castrated dragon will have some dignity. Now, hmph, there is a castrated dragon in the South China Sea, and the name is really not wrong."
Ying Feng's words were much more sinister than his sister Ying Ruoli's. One eunuch after another, Ji Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. It turned out that even though this family had some differences in personality, they were still similar in that they all had a bad temper.
"Gong Xiu is the son of Lord Gong Long after all. He himself may not be a concern, but Lord Gong Long may not look good, right?"
Ji Yuan knew that there were conflicts within the dragon clan as well, but they were stronger and more united than other demon clans, so he was afraid that this matter would become too big of a fuss.
"Hehe, Uncle Ji, you don't know that although Gong Xiu is the son of Lord Gong Long, he is far from being a favored dragon son. He failed to entangle the dragon and was castrated. He has long been a joke among the dragons of the four seas. Lord Gong Long will not even look at him. My father didn't get angry that day, and even suggested that he go to his immortal friend to ask for the fruit of the spiritual root. He has already given Lord Gong Long enough face."
Ying Feng sneered again as he spoke, his eyes swept to the top of the palace in the distance, then turned his gaze back to look at his sister before continuing to speak to Ji Yuan.
"Uncle Ji, my father only has one son and one daughter, me and my sister, but that doesn't mean the same for other dragons. The Dragon King has hundreds of descendants, including those of Jiao, shark, whale, fish, pig, horse... and other monsters. There are dozens of children who have transformed into Jiao and dragons, so what does Gongxiu count for?"
Ji Yuan couldn't help but yell "Fuck" in his heart, this Gong Longjun is really fertile. From this perspective, even though his good friend Ying Hong has some rifts in his relationship with his wife, he can still be regarded as a model of innocent man.
"Roar..."
In the distance, the sound of dragon roars was getting closer and closer. It was not known whether it was nearby dragons playing in the sea or more dragons arriving. Within one day of Ji Yuan arriving at the Crystal Palace, more than a dozen dragons had already arrived and gathered there.
Although the Crystal Palace was the treasure of the dragon clan, there was no shortage of bed sheets, quilts and other items in the palace. Ji Yuan stayed in one of the palace rooms for a few days. During these days, dragon sons and daughters took turns to serve him delicious food every day. Half a month later, dragon roars were heard in the Crystal Palace, and dragon roars could be heard everywhere in the palace and in the surrounding seas.
Ji Yuan and the four real dragons stood outside the crystal palace. Huang Longjun opened his mouth and blew out a tornado from his palace. The entire crystal palace gradually became smaller in the tornado, and was finally swallowed up by Huang Longjun. Only a large bare island reef was left under everyone's feet.
"My fellow dragon lords, and Mr. Ji, we will follow our original plan and head for the undercurrent of the Desolate Sea. If there are any villains who dare to harm our dragon clan, the Eight Desolate Seas will not tolerate them."
After Huang Yuzhong finished saying this, he stepped on the wind and clouds and flew up. Ji Yuan and several dragon kings and some flood dragons around him also flew up. They were followed by more and more flood dragons. Except for a few that maintained their human form, most of them flew up in the form of dragons.
There were constant torrential rains all around and the waves were surging. The waves were as high as more than ten meters. The entire sea was in a real storm. The previous dragons and the flood dragons that had gathered during this period added up to nearly three hundred in number. A group of dragons flying up was enough to turn the rivers and seas upside down.
Of course, Ji Yuan was flying on the clouds with the three members of the Ying family. There were groups of dragons dancing in front, behind, left, right, and even below and above. The rolling dragon energy stirred up a strong wind that stirred the sea and sky. Ji Yuan was very excited and couldn't help but sigh.
"The momentum of the dragons soaring into the sky is magnificent. No wonder the dragon clan can rule the four seas!"
The momentum of these three hundred flying dragons makes people feel as if there are ten thousand dragons, which shows how powerful they are.
The old dragon looked forward, and watched the dragon energy around him with his peripheral vision, but his expression was very solemn. He looked ahead and spoke in a deep voice.
"Mr. Ji, the result of this divination is confusing. Although the Eight Desolate Sea is raging with strong winds and chaotic miasma, it is turbid and difficult to understand, but if the five of us go together, it should be a good omen..."
Ji Yuan of course understood what Lao Long was saying and comforted him.
"Unless we can eradicate the dragon corpse worms and find the cause of their return, it cannot be considered a good omen. It may not be possible to complete the task in one go. Mr. Ying, don't worry about it. Besides, although the fate of the desolate sea is in chaos, we are not without direction. The current situation is no longer just about the dragon corpse worms, so it is naturally impossible for all auspicious signs to appear."
The old dragon stroked his beard slowly, squinted his eyes, looked forward, and nodded.
"Mr. Ji, what you said makes sense. We can take this opportunity to clean up and tidy up the wasteland we have passed through."
The dragon tribe of the Four Seas has a huge influence in the waters of the Four Seas. It's not that they can't go to the Wild Sea. It's mainly because the environment of the Wild Sea is too bad. The Four Seas and inland rivers are far more suitable for living than the Wild Sea. At most, they will go to the Wild Sea for training. Moreover, the aquatic creatures who aspire to transform into dragons also need suitable land and water for quiet cultivation, to connect with the veins of the earth and water, to gather the five elements and walk on water to transform into dragons. No dragon tribe is willing to live in the Wild Sea for a long time.
But there are still abundant creatures in the desolate sea, and there are also many aquatic monsters. Compared with the swamps within the four seas, the monsters in the desolate sea may not necessarily respond to the dragon clan. Among them are some monsters that have transformed into dragons, who like to satisfy themselves and stir up trouble. The orthodox dragon clan despises these aquatic monsters the most. This time, when the dragons go out to the desolate sea, if they meet something they don't like, they will basically be eaten by the dragons.
Ten days later, the turbid sea water that separated the Desolate Sea and the East China Sea was seen in front, and dragon roars were heard all around.
"Ang...", "Ang roar..."
The Dragon Girl and the Dragon Son were also beside the Old Dragon and Ji Yuan, roaring and howling in response to the roars of the dragons. The Dragon Girl looked at several dragons flying around each other at low altitude not far away, creating a waterway about a mile wide in the sea in front of them, and suddenly spoke.
"Dad, Uncle Ji, Ruoli wants to escape from the water within 20 years and transform into a dragon."
Ji Yuan and Lao Long were both slightly startled and looked at each other, but after a moment their expressions seemed calm. The Dragon Girl had been practicing steadily for so long, and she was indeed qualified to try.
"Think about it yourself. What your father can do is to help you clear the waterways of the world, integrate the veins of the earth and the water, make the thousands of aquatic creatures avoid you, make the energy of heaven and earth remain unchanged, and make the immortals, Buddhas, ghosts and gods not mind, and tell the human beings not to disturb you!"
When the old dragon said this, he was also recalling that when he transformed into a dragon, he had gone through many tribulations. Logically speaking, the many tribulations during transformation into a dragon is not necessarily a bad thing. Going through these tribulations is a part of the transformation into a dragon, and it can also help one to see one's true nature. But Ying Ruoli really didn't need that. The dragon girl had already practiced well and had the heart of a dragon long ago, so she didn't need to see her true nature.
It's just that transforming into a dragon is not the most dangerous stage in the dragon's cultivation, but it is at least one of the most dangerous stages. The dragons that can transform into dragons are all those with lofty ambitions among the dragon clan. It's a miracle that someone like Bai Qi can still survive after repeated failures in transforming into a dragon. There are many dragons who realize that they cannot transform into dragons throughout their entire lives, but they dare not try it until they die.
Lao Long’s words made Ji Yuan feel that having a good father was different. He had nothing else to say and could only nod and give a few words of encouragement.
"Nothing can be perfect, and the same is true for cultivation. If you have been cultivating for a long time, you will also have the heart of a dragon. If you have a clear mind, you can give it a try. As for the time, within twenty years..."
Ji Yuan paused and continued.
"Zuyue and Dazhen will inevitably have a war, and by then the land of Zuyue may be annexed by Dazhen. You can use the Tongtian River in Dazhen as the source of the water, and wait until that moment, and then use the luck of Dazhen to rise as a dragon."
"Thank you, Daddy, and thank you Uncle Ji for your guidance!"
Seeing that Ji Yuan and her father did not stop her, Ying Ruoli felt relieved and smiled. Ying Feng, who was standing next to her, had a very complicated expression.
"Little sister... I wish you to transform into a real dragon in advance!"
"Brother..."
Ying Ruoli noticed Ying Feng's loss and didn't know how to comfort him. Old Long on the side looked at his son, then glanced at Ji Yuan out of the corner of his eye, and remained silent. No one knows a son better than his father, so how could he not know the sadness in Longzi's heart.
Ji Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Longzi like this. It seemed that he was indeed not very competent as an uncle.
"Your Highness Ying, you know that I, Mr. Ying, and four other Taoist friends refined treasures that day and created a heavenly book. The book is in Yunshan Temple. What I mean is that no matter whether you can succeed or not, you can go to Yunshan Temple to read this book after watching Ruoli transform into a dragon. The way to transform into a dragon is also to forge the body. If you have any questions, just come to me directly."
Ji Yuan knew that it was a coincidence and also the Dragon Girl's own luck that he was able to help the Dragon Girl. As for whether the Dragon Son could transform into a dragon, he could only do his best to help.
Ying Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.
"Okay, okay, it's settled. I'll go borrow it when the time comes. By the way, Uncle Ji, you call me Ruoli, but you should call me 'Your Highness Ying'. I'm a junior, so you can just call me Feng'er or Yingfeng. Oh, and by the way, I wanted to brew some wine for you, but I don't know how to do it..."
"Well, I still have a small jar of ambergris."
Lao Long smiled and gave a reminder, then bowed slightly to Ji Yuan, who was not polite either.
"Since you said so, you must give it all to me. I really took it seriously!"
"When have I ever been stingy?"
“Hahahahahahaha…” “Yeah…”
"Roar..."
Amidst the laughter, Long Zi couldn't help but let out a long dragon roar, and even the old dragon roared.
