After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 493 Zulong’S Struggle History

"In the world, there were originally no dragons. With a firm heart in seeking the Dao, one can become a dragon..."

In a daze, Hong Li seemed to see an old man standing on a cliff, looking up at the vast sky and observing the abundance of all living beings. The universe resided in his heart, and all spirits thrived in his thoughts.

And this old man was slowly telling the story of dragons.

"In the ancient beginning, who spoke of the Dao? Ants and insects vanish into the boundless sea. The gifted and enlightened witness its wonders, and thus, the hero Xuan Ming emerged."

Hong Li: "..."

You don't really have to be a storyteller.

Hong Li silently complained in her heart, but of course, her complaints were of no use. The voice in her mind continued.

"In the ancient beginning, countless races stood tall. The oceans, the skies, and the land were all inhabited by powerful exotic beasts.

At that time, the ancestral dragon was just a carp."

Ah? It was really a carp?

An image appeared in Hong Li's mind, of a carp happily jumping around in a wide river with rolling waves.

Could it be that this was the ancestral dragon?

Hong Li felt extremely excited. In that case, she could also be considered a true member of the Dragon Race, right?

A sense of superiority based on bloodline emerged.

Of course, compared to her, the carp in ancient times was obviously much larger in size and had sharper teeth.

However, during ancient times when strength was judged by size and vitality, this carp couldn't be considered anything special.

Soon, the carp encountered a huge snake. The snake saw the carp as its prey, and the carp had a difficult time escaping its pursuit. So, it thought that it would be better if its body could be more agile.

The vengeful carp began to exercise by swimming against the current every day, practicing its flexibility. Under its persistent training, its fish bones became more flexible, and its body became longer.

Thus, the carp developed a body similar to that of a snake.

Hong Li: "..."

This is such an old joke. Where do I even begin?

Just because you're a fish, why should you be able to train into a snake just by blindly practicing?

If it weren't for the fact that something was clearly off during ancient times, she couldn't help but curse.

Don't attribute other people's achievements to their hard work, okay!

If the ancestral dragon were to come to the present and be able to train into a snake-like body, Hong Li felt that she could do a handstand and bite Zhang Chi.

Since the beginning was so absurd, there must be even more absurdities to come.

Sure enough, after the carp with a snake-like body, it envied the land animals that could walk on the shore. So, it stuck its head out of the water every day to breathe. Gradually, it gained the ability to move on land, becoming amphibious.

Hong Li: "..."

What kind of ultimate creature is this?

You get whatever you want, huh?

Originally, Hong Li thought that since the ancestor was also a carp, his path to seeking the Dao must have been very difficult, right?

But after seeing this image in her mind, how difficult could it be for him?

Isn't this just getting whatever he wants?

The following story is more or less the same. The sixth ancestor, the ancestral dragon, was attacked by a giant eagle, so he hoped to have eagle's claws. So, he sharpened his fins every day, and thus, he gained eagle's claws.

Hong Li was already tired and didn't want to continue reading.

But the story continued.

After the ancestral dragon had eagle's claws, he found that crawling wasn't good, so it would be better to fly. So, he sharpened his fish fins again and evolved a pair of wings...

In short, the story of the ancestral dragon is about seeing what others have and wanting it for himself. And strangely enough, as long as he went through some seemingly nonsensical efforts, he really succeeded in evolving.

Afterwards, with the ability to do as he pleased, he formed the current legendary image of the Ancestral Dragon that has been passed down through the ages.

With a strong body, sharp dragon claws, highly defensive scales, and the ability to control various Divine Abilities spells...

After reading the "struggle" history of the Ancestral Dragon, Hong Li's mindset completely collapsed.

Originally, when she saw the Ancestral Dragon as a carp, she imagined many inspiring and touching stories. But the result was this?

Compared to her own difficult journey, how dare the Ancestral Dragon claim to have worked hard and struggled?

At this moment, Hong Li burst into tears, but she was in the water and no one knew she was crying.

Ao Long also saw the soaring history of the Ancestral Dragon. She wasn't particularly moved by it, but she found the Ancestral Dragon's subsequent actions somewhat speechless.

In order to continue its descendants, the Ancestral Dragon really had relations with various races.

Not limited to birds, beasts, flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

A true walking reproductive tool.

No wonder the descendants of dragons are born in all sorts of strange ways, with all kinds of appearances.

Seeing this part, Ao Long couldn't help but complain. How can this Ancestral Dragon be so promiscuous?

Indeed, when Ao Long saw the style of the Ancestral Dragon, she immediately thought of Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi almost gets whatever he wants, and his biggest characteristic is that he can have relations with any race.

According to Ao Long's later investigation, humans actually resist mating with Monster Race, so it's probably only Zhang Chi who is so indiscriminate.

Ao Long was too naive and didn't know that Daoist-type XP was abundant.

Those who refuse to admit it and those who are stubborn are definitely more numerous than those who are sincere...

Returning to the main topic, after experiencing a tear-jerking "inspiring" story, Hong Li and Ao Long also received the final hint.

In the Ancestral Dragon River, they can think of the abilities they want and then hone themselves like the Ancestral Dragon in the story, and they can achieve the same effect.

Hong Li: "..."

Originally, she was very sad and felt that she was really unlucky. But when the new information came out, she was immediately excited.

Having the same abilities as the Ancestral Dragon, doesn't that mean she can also become an Ancestral Dragon?

It can be said that she can perfectly replicate the evolutionary path of the Ancestral Dragon.

Whatever the Ancestral Dragon did, she can do it too.

Is there such a good thing?

Just now, Hong Li was still envious of the Ancestral Dragon and was crazily criticizing the Ancestral Dragon's "struggle". Now she no longer envies it at all, she just feels that the Ancestral Dragon's ambitions are not big enough.

You see, everyone hates privileges because they are not their own.

This point was perfectly demonstrated on Hong Li's face.

Indeed, Hong Li was lucky to have the Ancestral Dragon as a template.

Ao Long had to think about what abilities she still needed.

She thought her tentacles were quite strong, able to entangle, slap, and adhere.

As a monster, she can also breathe on land.

However, thinking that the Dragon Race is also a monster, she decided to strengthen her ability to breathe on land.

At this point, in the Ancestral Dragon River, the two people who had gone through numerous tests finally began their crazy training.

Every day, they would jump out of the water to obtain the ability to breathe on land.

Every day, they would bite the air to obtain sharp teeth, and sharpen their dorsal fins to obtain wings...

Hong Li also discovered that not only did she undergo physical changes, but she also gained corresponding Divine Abilities talents.

This wave of strengthening was maxed out.

"Zhang Chi, just wait, when I go back, I will rise to power!"

Hong Li is confident that as long as she transforms into the Ancestral Dragon, even if she cannot become a true Ancestral Dragon and only resembles its surface features, she will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Chi.

I, Hong Li, have finally turned the corner after enduring hardships.

While Hong Li works hard and strives, she also daydreams about a bright future.

At this time, Zhang Chi is diligently cultivating and comprehending Sword Intent.

He has already comprehended sword techniques early on, but Sword Intent is still separated by a thin film.

Zhang Chi calls out to Snow Mountain Goddess and creates a snowfall.

If one snowfall is not enough, then another one follows.

With the presence of a divine being as a sparring partner, Zhang Chi's swordsmanship progresses by leaps and bounds, and Sword Intent is finally cultivated to perfection.

Zhang Chi's Sword Intent integrates Destruction Sword Intent, yet it is slightly different from Destruction Sword Intent.

Destruction Sword Intent is purely about destruction, while Zhang Chi's comprehended Sword Intent is about concealment, guidance, and then destruction.

Not only does he retaliate in kind, but he also incorporates his own power, and finally adds Destruction Sword Intent when he strikes.

This is the main feature of this fusion.

Throughout history, there has never been such a Sword Intent among swordsmen. In other words, Zhang Chi has created a new kind of Sword Intent through fusion.

If this Sword Intent needs a name...

After much thought, Zhang Chi decides to sell the naming rights to Snow Mountain Goddess.

The name of the Sword Intent is not important; what matters is its ability to unleash its true value.

"Let's call it Lotus Sword Intent. This sword is born because of Snow Mountain Goddess, and Snow Mountain Goddess is like a lotus flower."

Snow Mountain Goddess: "..."

What kind of Lotus Sword Intent is this? Is there any connection to lotus flowers?

This person is really talking nonsense!

Snow Mountain Goddess secretly comes to watch Zhang Chi and is secretly driven away by Zhang Chi.

However, her mood is not bad today. When Snow Mountain Goddess prays and offers sacrifices, she responds and moves the people in Snow Mountain Goddess Temple to tears.

The goddess is so kind to us!

And those who are truly favored by the gods can practice swordsmanship with the help of snow every day.

At this point, Zhang Chi has reached a state of non-attachment to physical objects. The weapon in his hand is no longer limited to the form of a sword; it can be a knife, spear, sword, or halberd, or even an axe, hammer, hook, or fork.

Moreover, Zhang Chi feels a faint trend of comprehending Divine Ability.

Three months later, Zhang Chi lies on the surface of Dragon River and says something to Gu Youyou with a somewhat speechless expression.

He just intensified his wholehearted cultivation, so he arrived at the peak of Divine Soul half the time earlier than planned.

The difference between Divine Soul and Divine Ability is only a thin line, which is the combination and condensation of Divine Soul's comprehension, giving birth to the seed of Divine Ability and blooming into the flower of Divine Ability.

He wants to cultivate Hong Li's Unity Tree Technique, which is to grow the tree of Divine Ability.

All of this requires a Divine Ability as a foundation, and Zhang Chi already has some clues.

He feels that if he continues to cultivate like this, he will soon comprehend a water-based Divine Ability.

He has already realized the principle of "the highest good is like water," so his first Divine Ability may be related to water.

Zhang Chi has not used dragon scales to accelerate his comprehension of Divine Ability. So far, his Divine Ability has not been influenced much by external factors.

Zhang Chi's progress in cultivation has brought Gu Youyou a lot of surprises.

The original plan was to reach Divine Soul in ten years, and she would applaud him. But now, in less than three years, Zhang Chi is already on the verge of Divine Ability.

She also knows that Zhang Chi is not agonizing over breaking through to Divine Ability, but rather showing off that he is about to break through to Divine Ability.

If they can enter the Divine Ability Realm, their chances of success in the Secret Realm will also increase.

"You should be patient and wait for this. My intuition is very sharp. It will take at least three more months for the Secret Realm to open, unless something special happens."

"Alright, since you said that, I knew something unexpected was bound to happen."

Zhang Chi mercilessly criticized Gu Youyou, infuriating her to the point where she wanted to jump out and give him a good beating.

Just then, the dragon horn and dragon scale that Zhang Chi had on him suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as if they were about to separate from his body.

"Who wants to steal my treasures?"

Zhang Chi quickly held them down. The dragon scale and dragon horn were undoubtedly precious treasures of the Dragon Race, but who could snatch them from his hands?

He had obtained these two items from his two wives.

If he lost the things his wives gave him, wouldn't he lose face as a kept man?

Zhang Chi quickly grabbed hold of the two treasures. For now, he could still control them as long as the power within them didn't suddenly increase.

Just to be safe, Zhang Chi called out, "Snow Mountain Goddess, please come and save me!"

Snow Mountain Goddess: "..."

Could you please stop calling me 'little wife'?

I have followers all over the Western Continent. What if someone hears and I lose face?

Snow Mountain Goddess was also speechless. When she saw the two shining Dragon Race treasures in Zhang Chi's hands and carefully sensed them, she realized that these two things actually represented two tickets.

"It's not that someone wants to snatch your treasures. It's related to the opening of a Secret Realm associated with dragons. With these, you can enter the Secret Realm."

Zhang Chi: "..."

Flag captured in seconds?

Gu Youyou, you're really something!

"It's a Secret Realm related to dragons, not mine!"

Gu Youyou felt that all of this was baseless.

However, Zhang Chi now faced a problem: should he bring someone with him to the Secret Realm or face it alone?

In fact, the survival rate of the people she brought along was quite high. Up until now, none of her teammates had died.

While he was still contemplating, someone had already sensed it.

Wenren Li and Jin Ling'er were the first to arrive because they had once possessed the dragon horn and dragon scale, so they also felt the changes at this moment.

And the white scale once again split into five pieces. Seeing this, Zhang Chi simply gave one piece to Wenren Li and returned the dragon horn to Jin Ling'er.

Since they were here, let them go!

There were still three spots left, and Zhang Chi didn't plan on calling anyone else.

Let it be fate. Those who came were destined, and those who didn't come couldn't be helped.

"These dragon scale and dragon horn won't suddenly react. I'm afraid someone has done something big, even opening a Secret Realm related to dragons."

As Zhang Chi spoke, he suddenly thought of Hong Li and Ao Long, who had been missing for a long time.

Did those two ingredients join forces to cause trouble?

Gu Youyou's expression also changed slightly as she said, "I can sense that they have broken through the magic seal. It just happened, maybe it really is them!"

Gu Youyou felt that something was amiss. The magic seal was a very powerful curse seal, and breaking through it was extremely difficult.

Perhaps Hong Li and Ao Long had encountered incredible opportunities.

"I knew that Hong Li had a rebellious streak. Now that she has broken free from captivity, it will be difficult to catch her again in the future."

Gu Youyou felt the pressure.

Ever since the Secret Realm was activated, she had been constantly plagued by a sense of foreboding. This journey might not go smoothly...

"It just so happens that there are three pieces left. Why not give one to Miao Yin, Long Yan, and Zi Mian each?"

Gu Youyou also had her own selfish motives.

If Zhang Chi had more teammates, they would undoubtedly be in more danger, but Zhang Chi might be safer... (End of this chapter)
