Chapter 150: Chapter 150 True Dragon Bloodline

Through Taibai Jinxing’s narration, Sun Wukong learned about the detailed circumstances of Golden Cicada encountering Moluo.

"He didn’t kill Golden Cicada, did he mention when he would awaken his demonic nature?"

"He swallowed Shariputra, and the Demonic Qi surged?"

"Interesting, very interesting."

Wukong scratched his face thoughtfully, and he recognized once again the prowess of his friends from Zhuhu Net. Except for the matter of Moluo swallowing Shariputra, everything else they said was accurate.

For instance, the Buddha Sect didn’t tell Golden Cicada about the pilgrimage because they feared awakening his memories of past lives.

And the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, as a formidable beast from the ancient times of Vast Wilderness, its brutal nature could also be seen as demonic.

This was probably why, as the Zhuhu Net users had said earlier, even Buddha Wutian admired Tang Monk, for all embodied both good and evil.

"Old Star Lord, do you know why His Majesty has summoned this old Sun?" Sun Wukong asked again.

"Great Saint, you will know once you go," Taibai Jinxing said with a chuckle.

"You old man, rather frustrating," Sun Wukong laughed but did not press further, as he knew Taibai Jinxing’s ways in office all too well.

Upon reaching Tongming Hall, he first saluted the Jade Emperor before inquiring about the matter at hand.

The Jade Emperor said, "The Dragon Race’s once in a millennium Transformation Gathering is approaching. According to tradition, the Heavenly Court will send representatives to participate as a gesture of celebration.

You have a good relationship with the Dragon Race, so this time you and the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy will attend the Transformation Gathering together."

Sun Wukong scratched his head in confusion; he was still young, not yet a thousand years old, and did not know what the Transformation Gathering was.

But once the Jade Emperor finished speaking, he began to look at the booklet in his hands, clearly not wanting to explain further.

Leaving Tongming Hall and heading toward the Milky Way,

Taibai Jinxing explained, "Great Saint, not all members of the Dragon Race are born; many from the Sea Tribe and Water Tribe merely need to soak in the Transformation Pools to gain Dragon Blood and transform into Dragons.

There are three Transformation Pools, one each under the control of Heavenly Court, Buddha Sect, and Dragon Race.

The first two pools are sourced from the blood of true dragons and are open all year. Members of the Sea Tribe and Water Tribe who enter these pools have a chance to become common dragons.

The Dragon Race’s pool is different, sourced from the blood of an ancient Dragon Emperor and opens only once every thousand years. It is a place of profound transformation.

Those from the Sea Tribe and Water Tribe who soak in it can become common dragons, and there’s a very small chance they could become true dragons.

Thus, every time the Dragon Race’s Transformation Pool is opened, guests from all three realms are invited to witness this grand event, known as the Transformation Gathering."

"Oh, I see," Sun Wukong blinked his lively eyes, it sounded quite interesting. He then asked, "So what changes might occur for the Dragon Race when they enter the Transformation Pool?"

"They have the opportunity to enhance their own bloodline," Taibai Jinxing replied with a smile, "Among them, the Dragon Race’s pool offers more profound transformations and larger opportunities for bloodline enhancement."

Now that Sun Wukong had understood all this, he was more puzzled. Was this mere Transformation Gathering really worth the effort of dispatching him, the Supreme Lord of the North Pole?

Sending any ordinary Star Lord or deity would have already been a great honor for the Dragon Race.

Toying with his beard, Taibai Jinxing solemnly said, "Great Saint, this year’s Transformation Gathering is a bit different from before; there might be the emergence of a true dragon, and the Buddha Sect will surely send a significant figure."

"Heh, got it, got it!" Sun Wukong laughed as he scratched his hand, clearly anticipating crushing the Buddha Sect’s prestige. He then asked, "What’s this about a true dragon?"

"Talking behind others’ backs isn’t nice, Great Saint will know once he goes," Taibai Jinxing said, still chuckling.

"You’re really steady, old Star Lord," Sun Wukong quipped. As the conversation had reached this point, he naturally wouldn’t ask further.

Moreover, he had so many knowledgeable friends online that there was always a senior who knew.

As he was thinking, he had arrived at the Heavenly River.

After meeting Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, Taibai Jinxing explained the purpose of their visit.

How could Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy refuse? Even if the Jade Emperor had not issued a decree, if Sun Wukong called him, he could not possibly decline.

Afterward, Taibai Jinxing returned to Tongming Hall to report, and Sun Wukong left the Heavenly River with Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, heading to the Western Seas of the mortal realm.

On the way, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy asked, "Brother Monkey, is there something special about this Dragon Transformation Ceremony that requires both of us to attend? That’s giving the Dragon Race a lot of face!"

Sun Wukong laughed, "They say a true dragon might appear."

"A true dragon?" Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy realized, "The true dragons have been extinct, if one really appears, it indeed warrants a visit."

"True dragons extinct?" Sun Wukong was surprised.

"True dragons are the purest lineage of the Dragon Race," Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy explained. "Due to the ancestral dragon’s sins in the ancient times, the entire Dragon Race bore the heavy karmic shackles. The purer the dragon blood, the heavier the karmic shackles they bore.

Therefore, as time passed, not only did the Dragon Race rapidly decline, but true dragons also became increasingly rare.

Before the Battle of Divine Enthronement, only Guangjin Dragon King of the Western Seas was left, but he chose the Shang dynasty camp and was eventually beheaded by two Saints from the West. His true dragon blood was used to create the Dragon Transformation Pool behind Mount Ling."

"Guangjin Dragon King?" Sun Wukong scratched his head; he was hearing this for the first time.

"He was the elder brother of the current Sea Dragon King, Ao Run," Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy added. "It’s almost a thousand years since Guangjin Dragon King perished, and coincidentally, it’s the Western Seas’ turn to host this Dragon Transformation Ceremony,

As they say, fortune may follow disaster, and the Dragon Race might indeed see the emergence of a true dragon again."

Sun Wukong agreed with this statement, but to be cautious, he decided to learn more from his knowledgeable friends online.

He immediately opened the Persuasion System, connected his consciousness to Zhihu, and posted a question,

"I am Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor asked me to join Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy to attend the Dragon Transformation Ceremony of the Dragon Race in the Western Seas. May I ask the elders here what they know about the Dragon Transformation Ceremony and true dragons?"

Beneath the question post, he provided information he had just learned from Taibai Jinxing and Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

It wasn’t long before he received replies.

Ming Yue Young Scholar: "The Dragon Transformation Pool in the West came about this way? This indeed sounds like something the two Western Saints would do—the Buddha Sect also castrated many from the Demon Clan to serve as their mounts."

Peace, Joy, and All Things Prosperous: "This mention of a possible true dragon’s emergence—could it be referring to Ao Lie?

I remember after the successful pilgrimage, five Saints ascended to truth, and Ao Lie entered the Dragon Transformation Pool behind Mount Ling, shedding his fur and horns, growing golden dragon scales all over his body, silver whiskers beneath his chin, an aura of auspiciousness, and clouds under all four claws.

Clearly, Ao Lie was a true dragon."

"Ao Lie?" Sun Wukong thought to himself.

His trip to the Western Seas included plans to meet this Third Prince of the Sea Dragon King, as they were all destined pilgrims appointed by the Buddha Sect, sharing similar fates.

If Ao Lie was a true dragon, then that was worth discussing, and perhaps that was why the Buddha Sect included Ao Lie in the pilgrimage.

He then looked at more replies.

Lonely Salted Fish: "You’re correct, Guangjin Dragon King was indeed Ao Lie’s father. Considering your hypothetical scenario, since Guangjin Dragon King was the last true dragon, Ao Lie becoming a true dragon is indeed highly possible; this logic makes sense."

"Hmm?" Sun Wukong’s gaze sharpened, puzzled again.

If Guangjin Dragon King was Ao Lie’s father, then what was the relationship between Sea Dragon King Ao Run and Ao Lie?
