Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

After news of Ling Fei becoming an Alchemist spread, he became a prominent figure in the Lingyun Sect.

However, Ling Fei was unaware of this.

He had been continuously absorbing Dragon Gang Qi in the Cultivation Room.

During this period, the Golden Eagle entered the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Ling Fei, without even realizing it, had reached the Late Stage Celestial Spirit Realm.

At this moment, the Gang Qi in his body was immense. Inside his Pill Sea, it roared like a river or a raging hurricane.

Ling Fei stayed in the Cultivation Room for a full month.

However, with his speed of absorbing Dragon Gang Qi, cultivating for one month was equivalent to several years for others.

At this time, the Gang Qi in his Pill Sea was finally full.

'Now, it's time to cultivate the True Dragon Transformation Technique.' Once his Gang Qi was full, Ling Fei began his practice.

However, he still did not leave his seclusion.

'Cultivating here is so much better than outside. Why would I leave?'

As for food, someone came to deliver it every day.

Ling Fei muttered to himself, 'The True Dragon Transformation is about stimulating my internal Bloodline Power to temper my flesh, sinews, and bones, thereby forging a True Dragon Foundation. This foundation is then used to transform. On top of that, I have to comprehend the True Dragon Visualization Image and grasp the True Dragon Mystical Technique. Only then can I guide the Bloodline Power step-by-step to a successful transformation. To truly become a True Dragon, one must possess a sufficient amount of True Dragon Bloodline. An ordinary person's transformation is merely the condensation of a True Dragon Dharma Aspect.'

After obtaining the True Dragon Transformation Technique, he had some understanding of transformation.

For example, the transformation technique from the Great Tang Empire made it seem like a hand turned into a Dragon Claw, but ultimately, it was just a matter of form.

Still, this was already incredibly powerful, surpassing many other Martial Arts.

A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes. 'If I have a True Dragon Bloodline, then it might not be impossible for me to transform into a True Dragon.'

That would not be as simple as a Dharma Aspect; it would possess the True Dragon's Might.

To put it simply, if the Great Tang Empire's True Dragon Hand had an explosive force of thirty thousand, then Ling Fei's genuine True Dragon Hand could potentially have an explosive force of sixty thousand. This was the strength of Bloodline Power. The might of the Divine Techniques from such a Dharma Aspect was far beyond what an ordinary person could match.

As the True Dragon Transformation Technique circulated, Ling Fei felt the blood in his body boiling.

This Spell seemed to be excavating the Bloodline Power from his body. The process was extremely painful, as if it were drawing out his very lifeblood.

However, when the Spell circulated, the Cold Chi Dragon Qi in his body churned, and within it, True Dragon Power raged as if complex patterns were being drawn out.

These were like bloodline patterns.

ROAR!

As these bloodline patterns were drawn out, Ling Fei felt as if countless True Dragons had shattered the shackles of his bloodline and erupted forth. This Bloodline Power was incredibly tyrannical, and it ravaged his insides. The terrifying Power made his body tremble uncontrollably.

Pain, excruciating pain!

It felt as if a True Dragon was rampaging inside his body, and he didn't have a shred of strength to resist.

All the power was borne by his meridians. Ling Fei felt like his entire body was about to explode.

'Condense Qi and temper the body!' With a shift of his Heart Spirit, Ling Fei hurriedly used the True Dragon Transformation Technique to guide this stimulated True Dragon Power.

At the same time, he also had to comprehend the True Dragon Visualization Image, meditate on himself as a dragon, and allow the Bloodline Power to flow and gather in his arm.

Only by becoming like a dragon himself could he truly control this power, merge with it, and prevent it from rampaging aimlessly.

If he couldn't control this excavated True Dragon Power, it was truly possible he would be killed by the terrifying impact, his body exploding.

Under the guidance of the True Dragon Mystical Technique, the drawn-out True Dragon Power surged into Ling Fei's arm.

'To transform, I must stimulate my internal Bloodline Power and use it to temper my bones and flesh until they reach their limit, becoming comparable to Dragon Bone. The final step is to derive a Dharma Aspect,' Ling Fei muttered. 'If I have a True Dragon Bloodline, it won't be about evolving a Dharma Aspect. It will be about growing True Dragon Scales, like a form of atavism.'

However, humans were not dragons after all. Even with a trace of True Dragon Bloodline, causing atavism would only result in the evolution of a True Dragon Bloodline Dharma Aspect Body.

But this kind of Dharma Body could erupt with terrifying Power.

Therefore, Bloodline Martial Artists were all exceptionally powerful.

The True Dragon Power was guided to begin tempering the meridians and bones of his right hand.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Under the guidance of the True Dragon Transformation Technique, Ling Fei clearly felt the meridians in his arm tearing apart.

But after they broke, Dragon Qi from his Cold Chi Dragon Qi immediately followed, and the meridians recovered.

Residual True Dragon Patterns also merged into his meridians, flesh, and bones.

As a result, the reconstructed meridians were incredibly tough, like Dragon Sinew and Tiger Bone, comparable to top-tier swords.

'So this is the profound mystery of the True Dragon Transformation Technique?' Ling Fei was overjoyed as he felt the changes in his meridians.

'It's not hard to imagine what I'll become if this transformation is successful.'

'Will my sinews and bones truly become like a dragon's?'

With a touch of delight, Ling Fei continuously controlled the True Dragon Bloodline to temper his flesh and meridians.

...

Time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, another month had gone by.

It had now been half a year since Ling Fei joined the Lingyun Sect.

Ever since his success in Alchemy, he had been diligently cultivating in the Cultivation Pavilion.

WHOOSH!

On this day, Ling Fei took a deep breath, and with a shake of his arms, he punched into the empty air before him.

When this punch was thrown, the Void in front of him trembled, and the air collapsed, raging outwards in all directions.

An area of about ten feet in front of him became a vacuum from the force of his punch.

'Just an ordinary punch, without even activating my Bloodline Power, already has this much presence. The True Dragon Hand is truly worthy of its name.' Ling Fei retracted his fist with a satisfied smile and glanced at a stone pillar nearby. It was an extremely tough pillar, capable of withstanding a full blow from someone at the Celestial Spirit Perfect Realm.

This kind of stone pillar was placed in the Cultivation Room precisely for Cultivators to test their Attack Power.

A fervent glint appeared in Ling Fei's eyes. 'This stone pillar can withstand an attack from a Primordial Pill Realm expert. I wonder if I can shatter it?'

The Primordial Pill Realm was about continuing to refine the Gang Qi in the body, transforming it into liquid.

Only after Liquid Transformation, by condensing it further, could one achieve Core Formation.

Only then could one step into the Primordial Pill Realm.

Ling Fei had been trying to compress his Gang Qi before, but he hadn't forced the issue.

Solidifying a Pill was no small matter; it was best to let it happen naturally.

Only then could one build a good foundation.

Now, cultivating the True Dragon Transformation Technique was clearly solidifying the foundation for his Martial Arts path.

A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes, and he punched toward the stone pillar in front of him.

The punch was thrown without channeling any Gang Qi, using only Bloodline Power.

Physical Power.

BANG!

Where the fist passed, it struck the stone pillar, sending sparks flying. Then, Ling Fei saw the pillar begin to crack.

'It cracked!' Ling Fei was overjoyed.

This stone pillar was made of Cloud Gang Stone, specially procured by the Lingyun Sect. Its hardness was not something an ordinary person could crack.

'Truly worthy of the name True Dragon Hand.' Ling Fei's eyes showed his satisfaction.

The power of this punch was something even a Half-step Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator couldn't match.

And one must remember, Ling Fei hadn't even used his Cold Chi True Qi to augment it!

'This time, I'll augment it with Cold Chi Gang Qi.' Ling Fei's gaze flashed as he looked at another stone pillar.

This time, Ling Fei circulated his Cold Chi Gang Qi, injecting it into the meridians of his arm.

Instantly, it was as if a True Dragon lay dormant within his meridians.

True Dragon Hand!

As the Cold Chi Gang Qi manifested, Ling Fei threw a punch. A distinct change could be seen on his arm as golden scales emerged.

The Light Patterns on his arm flickered, and it suddenly stretched, truly transforming into a Dragon Claw as it shot toward the stone pillar.

As the fist struck out, it was accompanied by the howling of Cold Chi Gang Qi.

The Gang Qi howled, like numerous True Dragons charging forward.

ROAR!

A massive sound erupted, like a True Dragon Roar. Ling Fei's True Dragon Hand struck the stone pillar, and the tyrannical Cold Chi Gang Qi blasted forward with it.

Wherever the great hand passed, the stone pillar shattered. The Gang Qi, like countless True Dragons, pounced forward, turning the debris into dust.

The next moment, Ling Fei retracted his large hand, but the stone pillar was already gone from the Cultivation Room, not even a speck of dust remained.

'This level of power should be comparable to a full-force strike from a Small Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator, right?' Ling Fei thought.

Even he was astonished by the might of the True Dragon Hand.

After all, this stone pillar was said to be able to withstand a strike from the Small Primordial Pill Realm!

Yet now, he had shattered it and turned it to dust.

Presumably, even a full-force strike using Martial Arts from one of those Small Primordial Pill Realm experts would be no stronger than this.

'If I could fully transform, how powerful would I be?' Thinking of this, Ling Fei was filled with anticipation for the True Dragon Transformation Technique.

One had to remember, this was only the initial stage of possessing True Dragon Power; he didn't have any True Dragon Divine Techniques yet.

If he also mastered True Dragon Divine Techniques, the power he could unleash would be unimaginable.

'My cultivation has reached the Celestial Spirit Perfect Realm. I'm starting Condensing Gang and Liquid to push for the Half-step Primordial Pill Realm. However, breaking through to the Primordial Pill Realm requires enlightenment, so there's no rush. I'll leave seclusion first and see if there's any news about the Celestial Fire in the Sect.' With a flash in his eyes, Ling Fei decided to leave.

At this time, the Golden Eagle's cultivation had also reached the Celestial Spirit Middle Stage Realm.

Normally, an ordinary person couldn't stay in the Cultivation Room for so long.

But Ling Fei was different. The people at the Cultivation Pavilion had received word from the Sect that Ling Fei was free to cultivate here as he wished.

Ling Fei mounted the eagle and departed.

Returning to his residence, he sent a message to Master Yuan Lang, asking for news about the Celestial Fire.

A short while later, Master Yuan Lang replied that there was no news yet.

So, Ling Fei began Alchemy again to consolidate his skills.

At the same time, he spent his nights continuously comprehending the Sword Dao, the True Dragon Mystical Technique, and the Cold Dao Mystical.

...

「Seven days later」

Master Yuan Lang sent Ling Fei a message!

There was news of the Celestial Fire.

'There's news about the Celestial Fire?' Ling Fei was overjoyed.

If he could merge with the Celestial Fire, it would fulfill one of his long-held wishes, and he could then focus on learning Alchemy and Martial Arts in peace.

He had chosen to leave seclusion this time because his mind was preoccupied. Even if he continued his closed-door cultivation, he wouldn't be able to quiet his mind, making it difficult to achieve an effective breakthrough.

In this state of mind, it was not suitable to enter seclusion to comprehend and break through to the Primordial Pill Realm.

After receiving the message, Ling Fei immediately rode the Golden Eagle to the main hall of the Medicine Vein.

There, Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun, Sect Leader Yuan, and the various Sect elders had already gathered.

"Ling Fei greets the Sect Leader, Peak Master Yuan, and all the Peak Masters." Ling Fei bowed in salute to the crowd.

"No need for such formalities." Seeing Ling Fei arrive, all the elders in the hall had smiles in their eyes.

"This time, someone from our Lingyun Sect discovered a newly formed Celestial Fire in some Ancient Ruins in the Southern Wilderness East Marsh," Sect Leader Yuan said with a smile. "This fire has not yet developed Spiritual Wisdom, making it perfect for you to merge with. However, the ruins have restrictions. Cultivators at the Celestial Pill Realm or above will be repelled if they try to enter. Therefore, we cannot forcibly retrieve it for you. We called you here to ask if you are willing to go to the ruins and merge with the Celestial Fire yourself."
