Chapter 757: Chapter 754 Dragon Transformation

"The aura inside here seems different from the outside world?"

After walking into the Divine Institute, Zhou Youwei’s pretty face was tinged with a hint of surprise.

The aura around her was starkly different from the outside world.

The spiritual energy of nature here was also distinctly different.

It was as though she had come to another world.

"Indeed, it is quite different." Huang Yue looked around and also noticed the peculiarities of the place.

After he had entered the world, he had crossed many famous mountains and great rivers, and had developed a deep perception of the changes in the aura of different places.

Upon entering this Divine Institute, he immediately sensed that the aura around them had undergone a radical transformation.

This place was extraordinary!

But it wasn’t the kind of ordinary Sacred Land of cultivation; it was bizarre and indescribable.

"Dragon energy..."

Qiao Xinyu muttered quietly.

"Dragon energy?" Huang Yue and Zhou Youwei were taken aback.

"Indeed, it is dragon energy, albeit faint." Ye Xuan smiled slightly and pointed to the Lotus Pond in the center of the Divine Institute, speaking slowly, "There’s a dragon carp here with dragon scales on it, from which the dragon energy emanates."

In that Lotus Pond, lotus flowers bloomed in profusion.

These lotus flowers were full of spirituality, swaying and shimmering in the pond, making it look like a Holy Pond.

The water was clear, and many carps were swimming in it.

The arrival of Ye Xuan and the others didn’t cause any unusual changes in the Lotus Pond.

But Ye Xuan’s words had drawn their attention to it.

"Isn’t the dragon carp a creature from legend? Does it really exist?" Zhou Youwei said with a face full of astonishment.

"If you read more books when you have nothing else to do, you wouldn’t have such limited knowledge." Ye Xuan said with a smile, "Not just dragon carps, even true dragons exist. They’re not as mystical as you think."

Zhou Youwei gave Ye Xuan a glare, "Is that mentioned in books?"

Ye Xuan nodded affirmatively, "Of course, it’s just that you haven’t come across that book yet."

Zhou Youwei: "Oh."

Seeing Zhou Youwei’s naive look, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but rub her head and smiled, "In the bookshelves of the Mountain God Dao, it is recorded that in this world, there are myriad spirits coexisting, just in different places."

"Among the mountains and rivers, there’s the growth of plants and trees, the mutual existence of water and fish, mountain spirits, and wild wraiths."

"To speak of many great mountains, they hide flood dragons and big pythons within, cultivating in seclusion, while in vast rivers and oceans, there exist flood dragons that roam and enter the seas."

"And dragon carps also count as one kind."

"Most of them ultimately aim for dragon transformation."

"But from ancient times to the present, very few have indeed turned into true dragons."

"Like this dragon carp that has grown dragon scales, it belongs to those already on the path of transformation into a dragon. All it requires is the right opportunity, and one day, it will transform into a dragon and soar through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Youwei appeared deep in thought.

Actually, this was quite similar to the cultivators.

Every cultivator in the world, which of them aren’t striving for the position of the strong?

Just like those mountain dragons and flood dragons of the rivers and seas, they’re all aiming for transformation into dragons.

"After we get past the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, I’ll take you to Mountain God Dao for a visit." Ye Xuan smiled faintly.

The reason he had brought Zhou Youwei along with him was obviously to broaden her horizons.

Simply cultivating might make you stronger, but you will definitely not reach the ultimate peak that way.

The Confucian saying goes, ’Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.’

In the Cultivation World, this means that one must cultivate as well as travel the world for experience. Only in this way can one truly apply what they have learned.

There are some things you may know how to do, but that doesn’t mean you can actually do them.

The books can only teach you how to do it.

But if you don’t practice, how can you achieve it?

This is another saying from Confucianism, which is called ’easy to know, difficult to do.’

The reason Ye Xuan had mastered so many trump cards was precisely because he had brought both reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles to the utmost level.

The so-called omniscience also starts from ignorance.

Zhou Youwei is very talented, and her talent is strong, but her experience is still far from sufficient.

This is why Ye Xuan would keep her by his side.

One day, he will leave the Emperor Immortal Sect, leave East Desolate, leave Daozhou, to complete his unfinished matters.

When that time comes, the path must be walked by Zhou Youwei herself.

By then, looking back, this period of time will seem so precious.

"Senior, will you return to Mountain God Dao then?" Huang Yue, who was beside Ye Xuan, couldn’t help but brighten up when he heard those last words.

This is indeed a big deal!

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, "After passing the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, we’ll come across World Mountain. Since it’s on the way, of course, I’ll stop by for a cup of tea before proceeding."

This journey from the Northern Sword Tomb southward consists of eight locations, with Divine Dragon Azure Sea being the first.

The World Mountain, where Mountain God Dao is situated, is the fifth.

By then, it will be necessary to check on the arrangements left behind in the past.

"That would be great." Huang Yue smiled broadly.

"Husband, did you come here to take this Dragon Carp with you?" Zhou Youwei’s focus, however, was on the Lotus Pond as she asked softly.

"Of course, the Long Family has been ignorant of their fault, and they need to be taught a lesson," Ye Xuan replied with a slight nod, his gaze resting on the Lotus Pond as if to see through the crisscrossed lotus flowers to the Dragon Carp deep within.

"This must be their most treasured possession," Huang Yue muttered.

If the news of this Dragon Carp were to spread, even the East Desolate Ten Dominators would scramble for it.

A Dragon Carp that has sprouted Dragon Scales has incalculable value.

For once it undergoes Dragon Transformation, it will at least be at the peak of the Saint Realm.

This is very tempting for any major force.

There are rumors that within the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty of East Desolate, there exists a protective Holy Beast, a True Dragon.

That Holy Beast, it is said, was the mount of the founder of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, and has survived to this day.

As for the truth, nobody knows.

After all, it’s just a rumor.

This is akin to the Pixiu Holy Beast that guarded the Golden Pond of the Emperor Immortal Sect in the past.

Getting back to the point, besides the Dragon Carp in the Dragon Pond being on the verge of Dragon Transformation, there’s another very important aspect.

An aspect that others cannot see.

That is destiny!

Nearly all of the destiny of the Divine Dragon Azure Sea is tied to this Dragon Carp in the Lotus Pond.

Once the Dragon Carp is taken from this Lotus Pond, taken away from the Divine Dragon Azure Sea, then in the future, the Divine Dragon Azure Sea’s fortune will decline and move towards decay.

That’s also why Ye Xuan came here.

Although he disdains to bicker with clowns.

But having provoked him, there must always be a price to pay.

He also does not bother to personally eliminate the people of the Long Family, as doing so would not hold much significance. It would be better to take the Dragon Carp back to the Emperor Immortal Sect as that would equate to winning without a fight.

"Taiyi True Water."

Ye Xuan walked up to the Lotus Pond, raised his right hand, and suddenly a water droplet appeared in his palm. It then rapidly expanded and flowed out from Ye Xuan’s palm, astonishingly evolving into a long river in midair!

"Fellow Daoist, please hold on!"

At this moment, a voice came from afar.
