Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1155: Chapter 1149: Break Through To A True Dragon

[Your family’s guardian divine beast, split Fei Heng and the dragon corpse in two after the family brought back Fei Heng’s remains.

The dragon corpse originates from ancient times, rotting only due to the passage of countless years. It is an Azure Dragon, still possessing the might of the Body Integration realm.]

[For many years, thanks to the Black Dragon Scale and the grade-four spiritual medicine obtained by the family, your family’s guardian divine beast had reached the pinnacle of a flood dragon’s physique.

However, he struggled with the immense difficulty of a flood dragon transforming into a true dragon, failing to break through his bloodline limit for a long time.

Having obtained the Azure Dragon corpse, whose dragon pearl had long since disappeared, he proceeded to exchange his flood dragon bones to attempt the transformation into a true dragon!]

Beneath the cloudy sky, an unknown number of cultivators in Azure Cloud Prefecture rushed to the scene.

A flood dragon was about to transform into a true dragon.

A single wisp of dragon qi from this transformation would greatly benefit anyone.

If the flood dragon failed to break through, obtaining its corpse would still be an incredible stroke of luck from the heavens.

But before they even arrived, their expressions changed.

In the clouds, the flood dragon manipulated the mist, darting back and forth incessantly, crying out in pain under the thunderbolts and roaring,

“Hundreds of years! Finally, I am finally going to break through the void and become a true dragon!”

This was the perfect opportunity, but suddenly, golden light burst forth in the sky.

A Bodhisattva sat upon a jade lotus, opening her compassionate eyes.

The aura of the mid-stage of the Void Refining realm caused Buddhist characters to scatter across the sky as Buddhist chants echoed loudly.

Yet, the Bodhisattva spoke no words of compassion; her first sentence was, “Halt, everyone, or I will slap you all to death with one palm.”

Where did a Bodhisattva come from in Azure Cloud Prefecture?

If one looked into it, there was only one possible origin: the Jingdao Bodhisattva, rumored to have returned from the Dusheng Nunnery, Li Kuanghua.

The Li Clan was the very sky of Azure Cloud Prefecture!

The crowd immediately scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to linger.

They only dared to bathe in the clouds and rain from a distance, hoping to catch half a wisp of dragon breath.

“From now on, I can ride a dragon.”

In the clouds behind the Bodhisattva statue, Li Kuanghua grinned widely.

…

Half a year passed in the midst of this breakthrough.

Li Wei had also waited for half a year.

He sat in the family estate before a cross-legged Buddha statue exuding Buddhist power, comprehending the Dao.

Back during his battle with Granny Guo, he had experienced an epiphany and understood how to break through to the Body Integration realm.

However, it would take a long time to comprehend various rules through the techniques he had learned.

The family remained safe and sound.

Even those who wanted to plot against them had absolutely no opportunity to make a move.

Li Qiuming and Li Chuxiu were still holding down the fort in the clan.

They managed the family affairs, simply listening to Huang Xiujin’s advice, and everything proceeded methodically.

As for the other family members, they were either scattered among major factions or had returned to the family to cultivate.

Surrounded by enemies, they had to act with utmost caution.

[The family’s guardian divine beast has successfully broken through!]

“He did it!”

Half a year felt like a single day.

Li Wei opened his eyes, filled entirely with joy, and appeared in the sky.

Arcs of lightning in the clouds covered almost the entire sky, thunderclouds and electricity flashing violently. If an ordinary person saw it, they would surely be blinded.

The sky was filled with auspicious clouds. No… not just auspicious clouds. A black dragon lay upon them, looking serene.

Li Wei couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Old Dragon’s transformation into a true dragon over the past half year had been fraught with danger; the slightest misstep would have resulted in his body perishing and his Dao vanishing.

Not only was there the heavenly lightning tribulation, but he also faced a tribulation within his own body.

His entire physique had been replaced with the bones of the corpse dragon, which was practically no different from a bodily possession.

To aid him, the family had gathered a massive amount of spiritual medicine, and Li Yaotie had even personally made a trip to the Heavenly Light Sect to seek advice from Ancestor Tianguang.

Now, Old Dragon had finally succeeded.

Just as he was about to inspect closely and see the legendary auspicious dragon, Li Wei raised an eyebrow.

In the clouds, an entity had actually slipped through the auspicious clouds, bypassing the senses of Li Kuanghua’s Bodhisattva avatar.

Holding a jade lamp in its hand, which clearly wasn’t an ordinary mortal item, it silently approached Old Dragon’s side.

…….

“Phew, this Bodhisattva avatar is truly extraordinary.”

Han Ju pierced through the clouds and mist, holding the grade-four spiritual item, the ‘Eye-Deceiving Lamp’.

Seeing the Jingdao Bodhisattva avatar still looking around left and right without noticing him, he finally let out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Looking again at the flickering flame on the Eye-Deceiving Lamp, he couldn’t stop smiling.

“Fortunately, my Eye-Deceiving Lamp makes me appear as if I am not a living being of this mortal realm, allowing me to transcend heaven and earth. Even a Body Integration expert cannot sense me.”

Moving with extreme caution, he approached the massive black dragon.

Looking at the behemoth whose scales were as tall as three men combined, the suppressive might radiating from its bloodline was incredibly intense.

Han Ju’s face was full of joy.

He pulled out a black cloth, forming it into a bag, and began collecting the golden dragon qi that the black dragon blew out from its whiskers following its breakthrough.

His face beamed with delight.

“I truly don’t know what Ancestor Lan is thinking. The Li Clan has produced a true dragon; if it were brought back to the sect, it could guard our sect for tens of thousands of years.”

“But fortunately, I can still take away a breath of the divine dragon’s qi from its breakthrough.

With this dragon qi blessing me, not only will my destiny be enhanced, but I will also be able to glimpse the trajectory of an opportunity to reach the Body Integration realm.”

“The Azure Cloud Li Clan has so many treasures, what a pity…”

Han Ju narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was an elder of the Eternal Immortal Sect; Duanmu Qi had become the Sect Master, and the Duanmu family had entered the imperial court.

The only benefit of this was that he could get acquainted with many powerful nobles.

During the time of the Ten Deadly Sins, an existence with imperial bloodline like Zishu Ling had actually sought him out.

It was a pity that other Body Integration mighty figures across the world were secretly red-eyed with envy over the Li Clan’s opportunities, yet Ancestor Lan possessed some unknown source of goodwill.

Even after Han Ju had probed him multiple times, Ancestor Lan remained unmoved.

Ancestor Lan was foolish.

Even having reached the Body Integration realm, he didn’t think of the sect’s disciples, forcing Han Ju to take the risk of coming here himself.

While pondering, he collected the dragon qi and silently departed.

“The Li Clan knows I participated in the events of that year, but fortunately, I have Ancestor Lan’s protection.

Once I absorb this breath of dragon qi and advance further, Ancestor Lan will have to look at me in a new light.

Then, uniting with Duanmu Qi, Ancestor Lan will have no choice but to consider my interests more.

If I reach the Body Integration realm and lend Ancestor Lan a helping hand, he will have a greater chance of seizing the Mahayana opportunity.”

“Hehe, with my abilities, am I not stronger than Yun Hongcai of the Yun Clan in the Western Frontier?”

Han Ju left with the Eye-Deceiving Lamp, looking exactly like a thief fleeing with a bundle in the dead of night.

As soon as he left, the Jingdao Bodhisattva, who supposedly hadn’t noticed Han Ju, stopped looking around, radiating Buddhist light in all directions.

Li Kuanghua blinked, suddenly jumping up, her twin tails bouncing.

She asked in confusion, “Old Ancestor, are we really just letting him steal Old Dragon’s first breath of dragon qi after transforming?”

Li Kuanghua truly hadn’t sensed Han Ju’s presence; if the Old Ancestor hadn’t reminded her, she would have still been seriously standing guard.

Off to the side.

Li Wei’s expression was strange.

He didn’t know who the person stealing the dragon qi was, but as for the thing being stolen…

If he wants to steal it, let him. Since Li Wei was occupying an Arhat avatar, he should be magnanimous.

He looked at the gigantic Old Dragon.

[Congratulations, your family’s guardian divine beast has transformed from a flood dragon to a true dragon, breaking through into a—Nether-Corpse Aberrant Dragon!]

[There are many types of dragons; those with pure bloodlines are formed by their innate spiritual energy methods.

Your family’s guardian divine beast transformed from a flood dragon to a true dragon, an act of defying the heavens and changing fate to begin with.

Furthermore, having devoured the bones of an Azure Dragon that had been dead for many years—which were transformed by the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems and had accumulated an ocean of death qi—he is not of the orthodox lineage.]

[The dragon broke through like an entity breaking through within the Netherworld; externally, it possesses the body of a black dragon, but internally, its bones are packed with death qi.]

[Acquired Talent: Dragon Roaming Heaven and Earth.

Born of heaven and earth, a dragon can soar through the clouds and dive into the earth. When not utilizing spiritual power, mortals cannot perceive it.]

[Acquired Talent: Body Entering the Nether.

By accumulating spiritual power, it can open the gates to the Netherworld and the Underworld.

Heaven and earth possess the Underworld and the Netherworld; the Underworld has been destroyed, while the Netherworld governs reincarnation.]

[…]

[A dragon does not possess a Void Refining space; its body is its space.

Upon transforming into a dragon, its body reaches the absolute pinnacle of the Void Refining realm, making it unbreakable by ordinary techniques.

Because it has become a Nether-Corpse Aberrant Dragon, it is restrained by Buddhist Dharma and Righteous Qi, but all of its auras carry characteristics such as ‘Corrosion’ and ‘Soul Extinguishment’.]

Li Wei peered at Old Dragon’s characteristics and didn’t try to stop the thief at all. Whoever wanted that breath of dragon qi could have it.

“I didn’t expect Old Dragon’s transformation to be this bizarre.”

Li Wei marvelled, “And there’s an Underworld and a Netherworld… The Netherworld governs reincarnation, but where is that?”

Over the years, Li Dalong’s ventures into the Underworld were actually also an attempt to retrieve the souls of their deceased clansmen.

But the Underworld had lost its order, and no one knew what was going on with the cycle of reincarnation in this world.

Now that the [Netherworld] had appeared on the game interface, it added a glimmer of hope to Li Wei’s heart. So reincarnation was governed by the Netherworld.

“No, everyone in the world speaks of the Underworld, but I’ve never heard of the Netherworld.

The Underworld was destroyed, but what is the reason behind the Netherworld…”

Li Wei’s heart skipped a beat, numerous thoughts swirling in his mind as he watched Old Dragon’s changes.

[Talent: Aberrant. Aberrant dragons are not tolerated in the eyes of the Dragon Race, hence the disguise as a black dragon.

Because it is an aberrant species, it harbors innate hostility toward the Dragon Race, and its Netherworld methods naturally restrain them.]

[Void Refining Talent Technique: Nether Breath. The divine dragon Breath, killing enemies with the power of the Netherworld.]

[Void Refining Talent Technique: Void Transformation. The body transforms into a state of the void, making it incredibly difficult for cultivators to track its traces.]

[Talent Technique…]

[Your family possesses a divine dragon; your destiny has massively increased!]

…

“I did it! Hahaha, I did it!”

Old Dragon woke up from his slumber and underwent Void Transformation within the family estate, turning ethereal just like Li Wei.

Cultivators who hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul realm truly wouldn’t be able to spot Old Dragon’s presence even with their Dharma eyes.

Old Dragon didn’t care if the dragon he broke through into was a normal one or not; he hadn’t broken through in hundreds of years, and now that he had shattered his bloodline limit, it was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

However, a dragon was a dragon after all. Despite being an aberrant species, the body still offered numerous benefits.

At this moment, holding three items, the joy on Li Wei’s face was endless.

[Nether Dragon Blood]

[The heart’s blood from within the body of a Nether-Corpse Aberrant Dragon.

One drop of the heart’s blood can be obtained every ten years without harming the dragon itself.

The user can have the dragon blood invade their body, enduring the pain of the Netherworld assailing their form, with a 10% chance to acquire the ‘Netherworld’ constitution.

The user can increase their physical strength straight to the absolute limit of the Nascent Soul realm, comparable to a body cultivator of the Nascent Soul realm.

Cannot be used by anyone below the Nascent Soul realm; doing so carries the risk of death.]

[Ordinary Nether Dragon Blood: A vat can be collected every year.

The consumer endures the pain of the Netherworld invading their body; depending on the dosage, it enhances their physique.

There is an extremely low chance of acquiring the ‘Darkness’ constitution, increasing comprehension of the darkness spiritual energy.

Extremely low chance of increasing all elemental spiritual roots by 2-5 points.

Extremely low chance of acquiring a ‘Darkness’ spiritual root.

Possesses the potential to harm the body.]

This ordinary Nether Dragon Blood was enough to let his descendants drink a little every year!

Looking at this dragon blood that exuded a mouth-watering aura, even Li Wei couldn’t detect the bizarre properties hidden within it.

But in reality, if this stuff wasn’t handled well, it was no different from a deadly poison.

There were side effects, but Li Wei had just gone to ask Yaoqing.

Yaoqing said that as long as gentle wood-attribute spiritual energy was used to neutralize it, the side effects could be drastically reduced.

If Buddhist chants and Dharma were used, the harm would be even smaller.

And the Old Tree had plenty of tree children and grandchildren in the family, while Li Kuanghua had plenty of Buddha statues!

With the family’s descendants bathing in dragon blood, it wouldn’t be long before the entire family became dragon-blooded warriors.

As for the other two items.

[Nether Dragon Scale: Used for artifact refinement. Some can be cut off; the giant dragon can restore its scales using spiritual power, taking a century to fully regrow a complete piece.]

[Dragon Tooth Powder: Scraped from dragon teeth. Can be used for artifact refinement, talismans…]

Aside from these.

Whether it was anything else from the dragon, it was all useful.

Even Old Dragon’s breath could be contained and used as a plague weapon.

“We’ve struck it rich.”

Li Wei grinned widely, looking at Old Dragon, who was flying around wildly, missing a tooth and a scale, with a heart full of joy.

Right at this moment, someone from the clan came running to deliver a message.

“Old Head Steward, something has happened! Something has happened!”

Huang Xiujin was just rejoicing over the old dragon’s breakthrough, but seeing the servant rush over so frantically, his expression tightened.

“Is it intelligence sent back to the family, saying those foreign enemies have made a move?”

“Yes… no… well, yes…”

The servant was flustered. Only after Huang Xiujin angrily scolded him did he organize his words and laugh heartily,

“It’s about Elder Han Ju, the one you had subordinates keep an eye on, Head Steward.

Our message just came back. Han Ju was cultivating, having acquired some treasure from who knows where, and guess what happened?”

“His cultivation level dropped by a minor realm, and there’s a good chance he might even suffer qi deviation!”

Hearing the servant’s words, Huang Xiujin blanked for a moment.

Han Ju was one of the people on the list, but because he was someone from the Eternal Immortal Sect, they could only remain vigilant and couldn’t do anything to him.

He didn’t know how Han Ju had suffered such a disaster. “Good, good, good! Where did he suffer this calamity from?”

Li Wei thought of Old Dragon, an aberrant species disguised to the absolute extreme.

That breath of dragon qi had actually been stolen by Han Ju.

He flashed a grin. “From Old Dragon’s bad breath, of course.”
