I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 341: Chapter 304: Soaring Dragons Nine Heavens

”Ahhhh~~~”

The wind was fierce in the high sky as the Water Python flew wildly. Jiang Yuebai grabbed a tuft of mane on the dragon’s head, her entire body swinging in the air.

”If you don’t teach me that Space Great Forbidden Technique, I won’t let go and I’ll pull all your hair out!!”

Jiang Yuebai threatened with a loud shout, filling her mouth with wind.

Roar!!

The Water Python accelerated, blowing Jiang Yuebai’s hair wildly, to the point where she couldn’t even open her eyes.

Thud!

The Water Python crashed into the Dragon Gate, with radiant rays of light erupting, sweeping from the dragon’s head to its tail.

Jiang Yuebai was blasted away by the huge recoil, catching a fragment of the light that brushed over her entire body. Immediately, dragon scale patterns appeared under her skin, hardening as they absorbed the light.

Plop!

Jiang Yuebai fell into the lake, held her breath, and emerged from the water, with two Lingzhi mushrooms on her head growing to the size of palms.

After nearly three months of continual cultivation, Jiang Yuebai no longer felt pain when submerged in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Jiang Yuebai stuffed the handful of dragon mane into her bracelet, planning to make a Dragon Hair Talismanic Brush later.

Roar!!

The sound of repeated collisions came from above, the countdown on the sign by the lake had long since expired, and the Water Python was still struggling to ram the Dragon Gate.

Jiang Yuebai looked up; at this moment, the Water Python was no longer as majestic as it once was, its body covered in bald patches where scales had fallen off, dragon mane shed, revealing the real sharp dragon horn on its exposed head.

It looked pitiful, but this indicated its imminent transformation.

Even the Water Python felt that it was just a step away from transforming into a true Winged Dragon, relentlessly ramming the gate.

The radiant light erupted stronger each time, like a Scraping Scale Knife, gradually stripping away the old scales from the Water Python, which fell into the Dragon Transformation Pool with a plop.

Jiang Yuebai swam vigorously in the water, picking up the fallen old dragon scales, even the broken ones were not spared.

Roar!!!

The Water Python swung its dragon tail with all strength, charging at the Dragon Gate with relentless determination. Half of its dragon head crossed the gate’s boundary but was firmly blocked. The intense radiance repeatedly scraped over its body, causing dragon scales to fall and dragon skin to crack, with blood and flesh flying.

Jiang Yuebai shrunk back, feeling a pain resonate throughout her own body.

The Water Python was just a step away from becoming a dragon.

But with its current state, it seemed unable to withstand the scraping light and might be left with bare bones before breaking through the Dragon Gate.

Jiang Yuebai glanced at her Immortal Cultivation Panel.

[Name]: Jiang Yuebai

[Cultivation]: Peak Foundation Establishment

[Bloodline]: Cloud Mushroom Grass (9/10)

[Cultivation Techniques]:

Five Elements Returning to Truth Foundation Establishment Chapter: (980,000/990,000)

Immortal Grass Scripture (998,900/999,000)

The proficiency required to reach level 10 in the Immortal Grass Scripture was indeed beyond her expectation. Without the Spiritual Medicine provided by the Water Python, she couldn’t accomplish it even in a hundred years.

But she remembered well what the Supreme Elder had told her: that final step is the essence of her humanity and should never be crossed lightly.

To form a Core, the Cloud Mushroom Grass Bloodline at level 9 was enough.

Imperfect is perfect—she had understood this truth during her Foundation Establishment.

The Five Elements Returning to Truth Skill reached completion in three months, thanks to the Water Python’s limitless supply of Demon Cores. The two scoundrels outside kept watch while it secretly opened a path with the Dragon Clan’s unique Space Restriction to fetch Demon Cores for her.

Several times it returned with injuries.

Jiang Yuebai had seen all this and kept it in her heart, so now, she had to lend a hand to this foolish dragon.

”Dragon Lord, I’m about to mature!!”

Jiang Yuebai leaped ashore, shouting towards the sky, tossing a Thousand-Year-Old Red Flower above.

The petals swirled, wrapping around the Little Ganoderma on Jiang Yuebai’s head, quickly absorbing into her body.

A brilliance like the bright moon burst from the Little Ganoderma, dimming the entire world.

[Congratulations, your Cloud Mushroom Grass Bloodline has advanced to level 10]

[Girl, are you ready to face the thunder? Once struck, you’ll be a true Immortal Ganoderma!]

Scram!!

Jiang Yuebai cursed angrily in her heart; thunder roared at her ear as Heaven and Earth’s Power locked onto her, a great terror inexplicably descended, making her tremble from the depths of her soul.

It was as if whispers from ancient times came from somewhere unknown, like a call of sorts. Before her eyes, visions of a giant tree crown towering over the sky flew by, surrounded by beasts running, birds singing, and flowers blooming.

Was that... the Demon Clan?

There was no time to ponder. Jiang Yuebai decisively took out the Dragon Scale Dagger and swung it hard above her head.

Hiss—

Pain like cutting off a finger surged through her, and the two Lingzhi mushrooms on her head were chopped off by Jiang Yuebai at the base.

[You’ve severed your own root, quite the wolf! Cloud Mushroom Grass Bloodline falls back to level 9]

”Catch!”

Roar!!

The Water Python opened its mouth to absorb the Lingzhi, swallowing it. The potent medicinal power exploded within, creating a shockwave.

Water Python coiled in midair, the bloody wounds on its body healed rapidly, enveloped by a layer of gleaming white light. Under the medicine’s effect, even the cracks on its dragon bone at the seven-inch mark were being slowly mended.

When the crack was repaired to the last shred, the medicinal power ran out, and its injuries were still not fully healed.

Roar!!

Water Python roared in anger, this time not at Jiang Yuebai but at the sky.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuebai shouted at the Water Python, ”The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven gives forty-nine, perfection cannot be tolerated by Heaven and Earth; having flaws is perfection. We sentient beings must harbor some flaw to survive under the Heavenly Dao, it’s the inevitable path of defying the heavens.”

”Only when you truly possess the capability to seize the place of Heaven can that flaw be remedied. I have not withstood the Thunder Tribulation, so I’m not a true Immortal Ganoderma and can’t completely heal your injuries. But I believe that in the face of your will to survive and transform, this little injury is insignificant!”

”If you give up at this stage, then you deserve to be skinned and dismantled by those two scoundrels outside, to have your bones refined into artifacts. Is a mere Azure Dragon all you aspire to be, or do you want to transform into a Winged Dragon, reigning over the entire Dragon Clan as the Heaven and Earth Dragon King?”

Roar roar roar!!

Water Python, its blood boiling, roared with enthusiasm, once more rallying all its strength to charge towards the Dragon Gate it had been ramming for two thousand years.

Today, it would either shatter its dragon bone or ascend to the nine heavens!

Roar---

Water Python, betting everything, crashed into the Dragon Gate.

Crack!

The sound of shattered glass resounded through the air, Jiang Yuebai’s eyes widened, watching the Water Python crash through the Dragon Gate, passing under the gradually crumbling glazed arch.

Amidst the intense radiance, the Water Python writhed, letting out a pained yet exultant dragon cry.

Everything seemed to slow dramatically, the radiance wholly scraping away everything belonging to a flood dragon from the Water Python. Its black scales were ground into dust, and from the shattered flesh, golden light burst forth, spawning a new true dragon body.

The dragon horns burst through flesh, reaching towards the heavens. When the first piece of white dragon scale stabbed out from the Water Python’s back, a pair of wings abruptly unfurled!

Roar!!!

The dragon, constrained in the abyss, was bound to soar to the skies.

Jiang Yuebai laughed, ”This Dragon Gate has a bleaching effect, turning a good Black Dragon into a White Dragon, making it seem less fierce.”

Rumble!

Thunder roared, and heavenly might suddenly descended, startling Jiang Yuebai.

Transformed into a dragon, then into a divine being, so quickly!

Can’t even catch a breath? This capricious Heaven is too cruel!

”Dragon Lord, quickly take me out, let’s slay the big and small scoundrels, clear the obstacles for the Divinity Transformation!!”

The key was to be thrown to a safe place, for even skimming the edges of the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation could claim her life.
