Chapter 455 - 226 Little Eight’s Transformation_2
This was something Long Dangdang only discovered after completing his nine-month seclusion training in the Righteousness Hall. Before this, Little Eight was only around six meters in length. However, it seemed to have grown considerably during these nine months, and its cultivation level was now close to that of a Level-7 magical beast. The two bulges on Little Eight’s neck were growing rapidly. Long Dangdang didn’t know what they were, but Little Eight seemingly did, and even displayed signs of excitement, which alleviated Long Dangdang’s concerns. But now, those bulges looked one-third larger than they did a few days ago. Their surface scales had cracked due to the strain, and coupled with Little Eight’s expression of pain, Long Dangdang became anxious.
Ling Menglu almost immediately rushed in after him. The cultivation chamber was not particularly large. When Little Eight emerged, its vast body filled up the chamber, leaving Ling Menglu and Long Dangdang only the corners to stand in and watch it squirm from its agony.
"What should we do? What’s wrong with Little Eight? Should I heal it?" Ling Menglu urgently asked.
Long Dangdang frowned deeply, "I’m not sure what’s happening, but it doesn’t seem to be bad. Something like this happened before." As he spoke, he pointed his right hand towards his chest, and the white as jade Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace flew out, appearing before him.
"Senior Vast Ocean, do you know what is happening to Little Eight?" Long Dangdang asked.
The light shimmered as Vast Ocean appeared by Long Dangdang’s side, looking at Little Eight before him, he said: "I’ve never seen such a situation. Among all lifeforms that I’ve known, the dragons are the strongest. In terms of talent and physique, humans are nowhere near them. And the golden dragons are the rulers among dragons. Aside from their extremely difficult reproduction cycle, they are practically invulnerable. The Dragon Emperor is an existence closest to the Divine Censure, yet controls it expertly without crossing that threshold. This mount companion of yours has a blood pact with you, so its bloodline is fused with yours. It will evolve as you grow stronger, taking on your traits, and in turn, its traits will impact you. But because it has not yet reached your level, you probably haven’t felt the effects. It’s currently undergoing evolution. The reason for this situation is likely linked to you. Because it is influenced by you, its evolution differs from its kin. Whether this is good or bad, we’ll only know after the evolution. But I believe the odds are largely in its favor. If its evolution would be harmfully influenced by you, the Dragon Emperor wouldn’t entrust his offspring to you. Now, you should do nothing and meditate. If it indeed evolves, it will definitely benefit you as well."
Relieved by Vast Ocean’s explanation, Long Dangdang sat down on the spot and started meditating.
Ling Menglu didn’t leave but stayed as a protector. She was about to ask if she could help Little Eight, but Vast Ocean shook his head at her.
Little Eight’s body began to thrash more violently. Gradually, the fluctuations of energy and blood within its body began to intensify. While Ling Menglu couldn’t assist in its evolution, she could reinforce the protective array inside the cultivation chamber, preventing the impact of its thrashing body from destroying the array.
Little Eight’s scales quivered constantly during the tumult, emanating an unstable golden glow. Each time the golden light flickered, its body seemed to inflate even more. Before long, it was nearing ten meters in length, and still growing larger and thicker. The chamber seemed likely unable to accommodate it for long.
