Chapter 137 Long Qian's Heart is Bitter
Meanwhile, Long Qian's aura continued to surge.
Not only did he successfully break through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm in one go, but he also took a big step steadily toward the middle stage.
Strangely, Long Qian only experienced the Tribulation of Transformation into a Divine Being, but not the Tribulation of Transformation into a Dragon. Naturally, such a tribulation could not hinder Long Qian.
Within half a day, Long Qian successfully passed the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
Its body swelled to over nine hundred feet in size, and the outlines of a fifth claw were faintly forming on its four legs.
Long Qian was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the shadow cast over him by the Dao Yi Sect that had been weighing on him completely dissipated.
He concealed his aura, transformed his form, and once again became a young man, bowing respectfully to Yu Jiaolong from afar.
"Thank you so much for your help, senior! I will forever remember your great kindness!"
Yu Jiaolong shook her head: "No need to thank me, this is what you exchanged for taking on the position of Dragon Lord!"
"what?"
Long Qian was puzzled. Wasn't being the Dragon Lord a good job?
Yu Jiaolong said with a look of shame, "I forgot to tell you, this Dragon Gate must never be used for ascension to the Void Refinement Realm, it's a trap! When I let Huang Qiu ascend before, I used my great supernatural powers to spy on the Heavenly Gate, and what I heard and saw completely confirmed my suspicions. I will share this memory with the entire Dragon Clan!"
After Yu Jiaolong finished speaking, a stream of light flew out from the Niwan Palace and entered the Dragon Gate. The Dragon Gate received this light and its entire body shone brightly.
Rays of light shot into the minds of all the dragons.
Long Qian had a bad feeling before, and now, after hearing Yu Jiaolong's words, he also received the memory of the scene after Huang Qiu's ascension.
His vision went black for a moment: "Damn it! I've fallen for that wicked woman's trick! She didn't tell me beforehand, only telling me after I received the cultivation upgrade. She's clearly trying to get me to cover for the Dragon Clan!"
But Long Qian wasn't the only one who felt disheartened.
The group of dragons who considered themselves to have pure bloodlines felt a chill run from the tips of their tails to the top of their heads when they saw Yu Jiaolong sharing the scene of the yellow dragon being used as a snack with alcohol.
"What! How could this be? Where are my dragon ancestors? Why didn't they come to guide us?"
"Shouldn't the Dragon Gate be helping us ascend to the Immortal Realm and become immortals? How did it end up being just a dish for others to eat? What's the point of cultivating this path?"
"I'm not ascending! I'm not ascending! I'd rather die than ascend! I don't want to pull a cart, and I definitely don't want to be eaten!"
In a short time, all sorts of people were in a state of being.
Looking at the disappointing state of her clansmen, Yu Jiaolong shook her head slightly.
She hesitated for more than ten days before deciding to tell her fellow clansmen about the scene of Huang Qiu's ascension, which she had stolen with her great supernatural powers.
She didn't want those promising talents to become food in vain.
As for whether it will affect their temperament, Yu Jiaolong can only say that temperament depends entirely on oneself.
Now that he is about to ascend to immortality, he is more worried about his fate than they are.
But did I give up?
No, he was still accumulating resources to open the North Sea Immortal Abode and ascend to immortality.
They haven't given up, they haven't despaired, so what are they despairing about?
Even after hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation, they still lack the courage to challenge the immortals?
If I have none of these, I might as well just wait to die!
On the other hand, although Long Qian also knew that ascending to heaven ahead of time was a trap, he did not take it to heart.
At worst, I can cultivate to the Mahayana stage, accumulate more wealth, and then ascend to immortality.
As for this favor, I have already received it, so I certainly cannot go back on my word.
He could only smile wryly at Yu Jiaolong: "Why would a senior like you scheme against a junior like me?"
Yu Jiaolong's eyes were filled with apology:
"I really can't find anyone more suitable than you."
They cannot accept the bloodline of that child, Mianxi, and his mind is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
However, you don't need to do anything special, just don't get worse.
By the way, I'm transferring my authority over Lungmen to you; consider it compensation.
When Long Qian heard that he could obtain the power of the Dragon Gate, even if it was only a part of it, it completely dispelled his resentment towards Yu Jiaolong.
Seeing that Long Qian's resentment had completely dissipated, Yu Jiaolong nodded secretly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he took Long Qian to the sky above Seven Immortals Island.
"Are you still willing to obey my orders, Yu Jiaolong?"
Yu Jiaolong spoke calmly, and the dragons below exchanged bewildered glances.
They then said in unison, "We are willing to obey the Dragon Lord's command!"
"I am willing to obey the Dragon Lord's command!"
...
half an hour later
Yu Jiaolong raised her hand and pressed down, and there was complete silence below.
"I have been dethroned as Dragon King for over a thousand years, and you no longer need to call me Dragon King. But today I have found you a new Dragon King! Since you still acknowledge me, from now on, obey his orders as you would obey mine! In all matters, if you cannot decide, consult the new Dragon King; if the Dragon King cannot decide, you may consult me!"
The dragons who had been discussing the establishment of a new dragon king instantly lost all interest when they heard that the new dragon king could contact Yu Jiaolong.
Yu Jiaolong is the only remaining member of the Dragon Clan who has transcended tribulation, and she is the source of their Seven Immortal Islands' confidence to challenge the eight major sects.
As for why only a few survived?
That's none of your business!
No one objected, and Long Qian successfully completed the inauguration ceremony for the Dragon King.
the other side
Chen Chunan, Chi Mianxi, and Xiao Yuxian also stood on the cloud to watch the ceremony.
At this moment, the monkey suddenly appeared, scratching its ears and cheeks.
It never expected that Long Qian would become the new Dragon King; if it had known, it would have taken less.
However, the Dragon Palace Treasury is filled with countless treasures, so what I took is nothing, right?
Chen Chunan looked at Xin Yuan as if he had a bowel movement he couldn't expel and felt strange.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xin Yuan quickly composed himself and pretended nothing was wrong, saying, "It's nothing! Well, now that the ceremony is over, let's hurry up and go! We've been away for so long, our families must be worried!"
Chen Chunan sensed something was off about Xin Yuan, but couldn't pinpoint the reason, so he could only agree, "That's true. After the ceremony, let's return to Jiangzhou!"
The guilty-hearted monkey vanished into the void beforehand, leaving no trace.
After congratulating Chen Chunan, Chi Mianxi, and Xiao Yuxian, they also used their escape light to return to Jiangzhou.
After a round of toasts and drinks, Long Qian...
Finally, I remembered that I should go and check out the Dragon Palace's treasure vault.
However, the treasure vault's restrictions were previously in Huang Qiu's hands, but they have now gone to the Upper Realm with him.
Long Qian had no choice but to summon six Nascent Soul cultivators to help open the treasure vault.
But when the door was opened, all the dragons were stunned.
The treasure vault clearly looked like it had been robbed.
Ordinary spiritual materials were haphazardly piled to one side, and various spiritual fruits, riddled with holes from being eaten, were carelessly tossed on the ground.
Most importantly, the most conspicuous row of shelves, which was originally full of items, now has less than 30% of its original size remaining.
The six Nascent Soul cultivators were so enraged that their dragon whiskers practically floated up: "That bastard Huang Qiu! What a beast! He's ruined so many good things! This is the foundation of our clan!"
"What a blatant case of being born out of wedlock! I thought he was only missing a few top-tier spiritual materials, but it turns out he's treating the treasure trove like his own private property!"
...
After a long pause, the six Nascent Soul dragons said in unison, "Dragon Lord, we believe that the future expenditures of this treasure trove should be open and transparent! The previous misuse of Huang Qiu damaged the foundation of this treasure, and this must never happen again!"
Long Qian's face stiffened after hearing this. His original intention was to share a portion of the profits with the six Nascent Soul cultivators and also to make a little for himself.
Now that this has happened, not only are there few good things left, but all my ideas have also been completely ruined.
Long Qian was suffering!
How could I have been so bewitched as to agree to become a dragon king?
At that moment, Huang Qiu, who was serving sashimi, boiled dragon slices, and roasted dragon liver in the sky, suddenly shed two lines of clear tears from his lifeless eyes.
If he could still speak, he would surely cry out in grief and indignation: "Heaven, please distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous!"
Meanwhile, Xin Yuan sneezed three times in a row for no apparent reason, and then silently continued to calculate how many materials he still needed for his Great Sage Armor.
