Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 445 - Chapter 445 Chapter 250 The East Sea Dragon Monarch

Chapter 445: Chapter 250 The East Sea Dragon Monarch! Chapter 445: Chapter 250 The East Sea Dragon Monarch! Over Dongting Lake.

Beneath the rolling dark clouds, golden snakes danced wildly.

Moreover, a black dragon, constantly enduring the thunder tribulation, let out sonorous dragon roars that echoed through the heavens.

Its body visibly grew larger and longer at a speed discernible to the naked eye.

All around Dongting Lake, countless people had already gathered to witness this miraculous scene, taking out their phones and cameras to share and spread the word.

When the higher-ups learned from their Transcendent friends that the Jiao Dragon required people to witness its transformation,

aside from marveling at the numerous legends of Divine Dragons revealing themselves in ancient times, they also tacitly permitted the spread of this sensational news.

Even if they could no longer lend a hand, they couldn’t behave in a way that would hinder the other party and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Therefore, under the influence of the information age on Water Blue Star,

over two billion Wisdom Creatures witnessed the breakthrough ceremony for Ao Li, the black Jiao Dragon.

Paired with the prior news of Ao Li’s life-saving deeds, the vast majority of these spectators held a favorable impression of Ao Li.

This was especially true in the Eastern regions as well as in White Elephant Country.

Both had myths and stories related to the Dragon God, combined with the legends of Dongting Lake,

and with some prompting, President Huang and others gave a little push to the tide.

The rumors of Ao Li, the world-saving black dragon, becoming the East Sea Dragon Monarch after crossing the tribulation were propagated as if they were even truer than the truth by a group of scripted narrators.

The effect of these marketing efforts, coupled with the live broadcast, undoubtedly achieved a synergistic impact greater than the sum of its parts.

Some superstitious followers had even begun to burn incense and worship Ao Li as the East Sea Dragon Monarch.

Roar!

After basking in the thunderbolts for more than ten minutes and feeling more and more profound aid from the world conscience,

finally, the Demon Core broke open, and from within flew out a Demon Soul!

In the blink of an eye, this Demon Soul attached itself to Ao Li’s body and then soared into the sky.

The Illusion of this Demon Soul was even larger than Ao Li, which was already nearing three kilometers in length.

Then by a stroke of fortune, and due to having swiftly acquired a wealth of knowledge about the Incense Fire Divine Path as a Guardian God,

with a single thought, the newly emerged Demon Soul accepted the world’s will, which held the wishes of millions.

Meanwhile, Ao Li hadn’t even fully transformed into a True Dragon.

The Demon Soul preemptively began to slowly transform into a five-clawed black dragon.

And upon its head appeared a crown signifying the imperial authority of the East Sea Dragon Monarch!

At the same time, as the five-clawed black dragon took full shape,

the dark clouds instantly dispersed, allowing the bright sunshine to fall and illuminate the entire expanse of Dongting Lake.

Following that, in the sky above, Illusions of Heavenly Girls appeared, along with golden boys and girls as well as Heavenly Immortals and Buddhas, one after another, as if they were congratulating Ao Li on assuming the position of the East Sea Dragon Monarch.

Simultaneously, on the lake’s surface, resplendent golden lotuses emerged one by one.

A gentle fragrance wafted with the appearance of these golden lotuses, spreading across the entirety of Dongting Lake.

This allowed everyone present to catch the scent, which gave them a feeling of clarity and refreshment.

The number of people kneeling and worshiping beneath the five-clawed black dragon’s silhouette increased significantly.

The phrase “Dragon Lord has manifested” suddenly became a global buzzword.

“Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, Earth Bursting Golden Lotus… and the blessings from all gods and buddhas.”

“Does this indicate that the higher powers recognize Ao Li’s crossing of tribulation and ascension to Dragon Monarch?”

To those with insight, these extraordinary scenes spurred even more speculation.

Later, coastal regions that considered themselves part of the East Sea area, based on various myths and legends,

either renovated or constructed new temples dedicated to the East Sea Dragon Monarch.

They also carved Divine Statues and plaques for Ao Li.

This meant that the gathering of Incense Fire and popular acknowledgment for Ao Li had only just begun.

Excited, Ao Li silently estimated that even if the current fervor was maintained, it would be sufficient for its advancement to the late Nascent Soul stage.

When the time came for it to advance further and transform into Divinity,

the likelihood was that by then, it would probably be almost enough.

With the last step of the process completed, Ao Li thought and the Demon Soul in the image of the East Sea Dragon Monarch retracted into its body.

Then, to Ao Li’s delight, it discovered that its progress towards becoming a True Dragon had increased by a significant margin.

Dragon scales, claws, and horns all showed subtle changes.

Extremely pleased with itself, Ao Li vanished from sight,

and when it reappeared, it was among the clouds, coming before Su Ping to pay respects:

“Thank you, my lord, for allowing this little dragon to flourish!”

“I shall never forget this debt of gratitude!”

Su Ping, looking at Ao Li who had now broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, gave a faint smile and with a wave of his hand, a ray of blood light fell upon Ao Li.

The Demon Soul within Ao Li instinctively wanted to resist, but was immediately suppressed by Ao Li.

The next second, the blood light penetrated, and Blood Chains appeared around the Demon Soul.

At the same time, a vast amount of Blood Qi Soul entered Ao Li’s Demon Soul, causing its will to resist to dissolve.

Afterward, Su Ping, accompanied by Ao Li, returned to Pot Cave Heaven, where Ao Li indulged in an array of Spiritual Objects to aid in recovering from the breakthrough.

Across the various cooperative venues on Water Blue Star, livestock and poultry were being raised.

Save for the Alien Species that were raised separately, the rest would be slaughtered after a certain period of time.

The Blood Qi Soul entered the Divine Statue, and the flesh was used as food material.

The top-grade ones naturally went to Su Ping.

Although these fast-tracked products couldn’t compare to their counterparts in the Immortal Cultivation World.

They had the advantage of quantity–enough to ensure fullness.

And things like inner organs could also compensate for deficiencies in other aspects due to their large quantities.

As Su Ping’s demands for Blood Qi Soul and food also increased,

he began to pay attention to the logistical production on Water Blue Star.

Beyond cooperations in breeding and cultivation projects,

Su Ping took interest in the increasingly sophisticated agricultural tower technology on Water Blue Star.

It was an agricultural project that had been in practical operation more than twenty years ago in response to the worsening environment and pollution.

From the outside, this project looked like a colossal cylindrical tower.

With ten to twenty layers, each layer cultivating one or several types of crops.

Utilizing soilless cultivation and big data management, combined with expert fine-tuning,

a single tower allowed the crops inside to be easily harvested three times a year without reliance on the weather.

It could also avoid pests and environmental pollution.

Though the cost was slightly high initially, surviving only by raising funds after going public over twenty years ago,

now the technology is more mature, and costs have somewhat decreased.

With issues like water shortages and deteriorating environment leading to severe agricultural problems in Huaqi Country, there was large-scale construction of these towers to make up for the previous agricultural deficits.

Compared to flat spirit fields,

the need for arrays and Spirit Stones to secure Spiritual Energy made Water Blue Star undoubtedly more suited to using this towering structure for cultivating Spirit Energy nourished crops.

Then, the top-grade produce could be consumed by themselves, while the Mid-Lower Grade ones could serve as feed for livestock and poultry at cooperative sites.

In this way, the quality of those livestock and poultry could also be improved.

And Su Ping valued the experience and knowledge of those experts.

Through President Huang’s connections, he established strategic collaboration with well-known universities in related fields.

Hoping those experts could find the most suitable species for growth and development in the Spiritual Energy environment of Water Blue Star through extensive scientific practice.

After all, even the most familiar crops like rice and wheat have countless varieties when divided.

And often, the differences between these varieties are enough to make an uninformed layperson think they are two different species at first glance.

All the major powers on Water Blue Star undoubtedly had a great interest in the Transcendent power’s proposal for towers suitable for Spirit Energy environment crops cultivation.

And because of this, they had already had several rounds of overt and covert struggles before the project even started.

Inside Dongting Lake, the East Sea Dragon Monarch Ao Li’s Crossing Tribulation site has become one of the hottest tourist check-in spots today.

This prompted the local security department to urgently request more than ten security vessels to maintain order, while also searching for those who drove boats over and then accidentally fell into the lake.

Right, some falls were intentional.

Because they believed that bathing in these waters might earn them special regard from the East Sea Dragon Monarch Ao Li.

Since security measures prohibit swimming in the area for safety reasons,

they had no choice but to make it look like an accident.

Additionally, some tourists on yachts were using machines to siphon water, then bottling it into 100ml bottles.

All the while, ensuring safety by labeling the bottles as raw Dongting Lake water, not for drinking.

Some were even live-streaming the entire process to prove to their customers that they were not deceitful.

And the reason for all these dramas,

wasn’t because there were that many mindless fools.

But rather due to the large-scale illusion performance the East Sea Dragon Monarch Ao Li put on before his disappearance.

The fragrance emitted after the Golden Lotus blossomed indeed brought real benefits to those present at the scene at that time.

Then, through the distortion of the truth by these individuals, what was originally just a cooling and refreshing aroma that cleared heat and brightened the eyes,

became a miraculous Divine Dragon energy from Ao Li, extolled for eliminating all diseases, and for evil exorcism.

At this point, a heavy helicopter suddenly flew in from afar.

Inside the helicopter, Taoist Zhang and his junior disciple sat in the rear cabin, excitedly staring at the lake below. As they observed several boats gathered below, they muttered that it seemed they had arrived at the right place.

The pilot, hearing this, nodded his head and said,

“Indeed, we have arrived. Please wait a moment; the appointed time is almost upon us.”

Meanwhile, an announcement reverberated over the lake.

Despite the opportunity for profit, the yachts and fishing boats without Transcendent capabilities dared not challenge the world’s order and had to retreat.

However, realizing that something big might happen again, after noticing that they hadn’t been moved farther than a few kilometers from the location, they simply stopped.

Visitors on nearby islets, even on man-made island structures, quickly spread the word and flocked to higher ground or the shorelines.

After about ten minutes,

Taoist Zhang glanced at the time inside the helicopter cabin:

Noon, 12 o’clock sharp!

“The appointed time has come!” he exclaimed inwardly.

Unable to contain himself, he looked around once more, eager to witness how the East Sea Dragon Monarch would make his entrance.
