He wasn't upset by Chu Yang's refusal. Even if he couldn't win him over, it was still good to make a good connection.
Chu Yang nodded and said, "I am confident, but I don't know the exact location of the Void Thunder Pool. I need someone to guide me."
Zhu Li volunteered, "No problem, I can take you there!"
"When do you plan to set off, young friend?" Qi You asked.
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat strange, and said, "Aren't you two seniors curious about the news I'm talking about?"
The two then realized that Chu Yang had just said there was some news that would interest them.
Zhu Li gave a bitter smile and said, "Young friend, you know the predicament of Donglong Island. At this critical juncture, what can be considered good news?"
Chu Yang smiled knowingly and asked, "What if it concerns the bloodline of the old Dragon Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, both Zhu Li and Qi You's pupils contracted, and their faces quickly flushed red with excitement.
"Young friend Chu Yang... please don't joke about this!" Zhu Li's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes filled with both expectation and hesitation.
They were hoping for news about the long-lost bloodline of the old Dragon Emperor, but they were also afraid that Chu Yang was just joking.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Why would I deceive you two seniors?"
“I’ve seen her in the Northwest region, but judging by the time, she should be arriving in Central State soon.”
"Is this really true?!" Qi You's breathing became rapid.
Seeing that the two still did not believe him, Chu Yang waved his hand lightly, and Pangu immediately projected a virtual image.
The scene depicts Zi Yan helping Xiao Yan block a blow from Protector Wu during the battle at Yunlan Sect.
At that time, Zi Yan activated her bloodline power and, with her Dou Wang realm cultivation, forcefully repelled a Dou Zong powerhouse.
Upon seeing this, the two elders were immediately moved to tears, and Qi You said in a trembling voice, "That's right...that's right...it's the bloodline of the old Dragon Emperor!"
"Young friend Chu Yang, could you please tell me the exact location?"
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "You don't need to look for her. As I just said, she will be coming to Zhongzhou soon. If you go to the Northwest region now, you may miss her."
Qi You took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn. He bowed to Chu Yang and said, "Your news is of utmost importance to our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. We will forever remember this great kindness!"
Putting aside the surprise this news brought them, the fact that they made preparations in advance for the return of the Little Dragon Emperor, kept the news under wraps, and found the Little Dragon Emperor before the other three major dragon islands all concerned the future fate of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
If the other three Dragon Islands find the Little Dragon Emperor first, they will probably not hesitate to kill him and seize power.
Even worse, they might manipulate it, install a puppet emperor, and then rule from behind the scenes.
A smile flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. Zi Yan's arrival in Zhongzhou and her return to Donglong Island were inevitable events that would happen soon.
Therefore, his message had no practical use, but it allowed him to do Donglong Island a favor, making it a deal that could be described as getting something for nothing.
"The Dragon Emperor's bloodline is about to return, and I'm sure the two elders need to make many preparations, so I won't disturb you any longer!"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Please, Elder Zhu Li, lead the way and take me to the Void Thunder Pool!"
Zhu Li nodded hastily. The two old guys couldn't bother trying to win him over now, since the return of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline was undoubtedly more important than a Dou Sheng powerhouse.
Zhu Li led Chu Yang away from Donglong Island and flew through the directionless void for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at the location of the Void Thunder Pool.
"Ahead lies the void of lightning, a place fraught with peril. I urge you to be careful, young friend!" Zhu Li clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chu Yang, looking eager to return home.
He just wants to get back to Donglong Island as soon as possible to prepare for the return of the Little Dragon Emperor.
Chu Yang nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, senior!"
"No trouble at all! No trouble at all!" Zhu Li laughed heartily, in high spirits, and then took his leave.
After he left, Chu Yang turned around and looked ahead. There stood a massive thunderbolt, nearly a thousand feet in diameter, with silver arcs of electricity constantly leaping and thunder rumbling.
Chu Yang could faintly sense a suction force. He knew this was a characteristic of the Void Thunder Pool, or rather, a characteristic of the space here.
It is precisely because of this suction force that the power of lightning can be continuously gathered, eventually forming a huge lightning pool.
Compared to the Thunder Pool, Chu Yang was more interested in where that suction force came from and why it only attracted lightning.
With a flash, Chu Yang appeared above the Thunder Pool, looking down at the dazzling silver ocean below, and narrowed his eyes.
He ignored the lightning in the pool and plunged in, quickly going deeper. The lightning wrapped around him had no effect whatsoever.
Chu Yang's current physical body is a combination of a fourth-generation divine body and a Dou Sheng body. Not to mention ordinary lightning, even the black demon lightning that a ninth-grade treasure pill can attract cannot break through his physical defense.
After arriving at the depths of the Thunder Pool, Chu Yang slowly stopped, gazing at the black dragon that seemed to be sleeping in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Black Thunder!
This is a powerful lightning bolt that even a Dou Zun expert has to be careful to deal with!
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yang reached out and made a grasping motion.
A surge of powerful primal energy roared out, completely enveloping the giant dragon formed from the black demonic lightning.
Then, just as he had subdued the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, he quickly compressed it until it was the size of a fist before putting it away.
"I've essentially taken away Xiao Yan's opportunity; I wonder if it will change his fate?"
Chu Yang muttered something to himself, but didn't take it to heart.
This void lightning pool can only be considered an aid in Xiao Yan's growth process, not an indispensable one.
He didn't want to hinder Xiao Yan's growth, because Chu Yang still needed this laborer to help him create a crucial treasure, which he could then integrate into his own using the Treasure Refining Technique.
After collecting the Black Demon Lightning, Chu Yang continued deeper and soon saw a giant golden dragon lying at the bottom of the lightning pool.
Nine Mysterious Golden Thunder!
Compared to the Nine Profound Golden Lightning that Chu Yang attracted when refining pills, this golden dragon was much larger, and the destructive power emanating from its entire body was even more terrifying.
Chu Yang knew that the Nine Profound Golden Lightning had existed for countless years and was about to "gather spiritual energy".
On the Dou Qi Continent, "Gathering Spirit" refers to the process by which a certain inanimate object or non-intelligent life undergoes transformation and develops sentience.
But there is a paradox here, because only after having a certain amount of power can "they" gather spirits.
However, during the process of gathering spiritual energy, the more powerful an entity becomes, the stronger the heavenly tribulation it will face, so it is rare for the gathering of spiritual energy to succeed.
In the original storyline, it was Xiao Yan who took away most of the essence of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, which helped it successfully gather spiritual energy.
Chu Yang's purpose in coming here was twofold: first, to find out the reason for the formation of the Thunder Pool, and second, to obtain this Nine Profound Golden Thunder!
“I know your current understanding is rather confused, and you should also be aware that the chances of successfully gathering spiritual energy are extremely slim.”
As the golden dragon slowly opened its eyes, Chu Yang said directly, "I can help you successfully gather your spiritual energy, but I will take away all your power. You will need to start from scratch."
"If you're willing, let's begin gathering spiritual energy now!"
The consciousness of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder was hazy and almost nonexistent. It was precisely because of this that it endured countless years of loneliness before desperately trying to gather spiritual energy.
Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder did not hesitate for long. Its massive body suddenly twisted, and the entire Thunder Pool boiled!
With the limited understanding of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, he could barely comprehend the meaning behind Chu Yang's words, and had no way of distinguishing between truth and falsehood, let alone discerning people's true intentions.
"Tsk...aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?" Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled, quietly looking at the Gathering Spirit in front of him.
As he expected, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder failed.
Chu Yang arrived at the opportune moment, placed his hand on Chu Yang's forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Give me your power, and I will help you gather spiritual energy!"
The golden dragon's enormous eyes were filled with exhaustion. Then its body rapidly shrank, and explosive power surged into Chu Yang's body through his palm.
A moment later, Chu Yang withdrew his hand, his expression calm, golden arcs of electricity crackling around his body.
The Nine Profound Golden Thunder had already transformed into a young dragon several dozen feet long, and its empty eyes were gradually becoming more sentient.
Chu Yang ignored it and sat cross-legged in the air, taking out the ball of light that bound the Black Demon Lightning and another Nine Profound Golden Lightning.
Using the Refining Treasure Technique, Chu Yang absorbed the power of the three bolts of lightning into his body, concentrating it in his left leg, and refined it with all his might!
This was something Chu Yang had been planning since he entered the field of alchemy.
However, even if he refined the Nine Profound Golden Lightning with the Treasure Refining Technique, it wouldn't be of much value to him.
However, if we add the Nine Profound Golden Lightning at the bottom of the Thunder Pool, which has undergone a qualitative change, and the Black Demon Lightning, which has also undergone a qualitative change, then it would be worthwhile for him to refine it into his physical body!
Chapter 328 Ao Ting! A Strange Fusion! True Spirit Evolution!
Chu Yang refined the Black Demon Lightning in just three days, while refining the Nine Profound Golden Lightning that he had attracted during his alchemy took five days.
However, it took a full half month to refine the transformed Nine Profound Golden Lightning.
The reason why Chu Yang did not gather more Nine Profound Golden Lightning by continuously refining ninth-grade golden pills is because the upper limit of ordinary Nine Profound Golden Lightning is fixed, and even if the quantity is accumulated, there will not be much improvement.
However, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder after its qualitative change is different. In a sense, it has transcended the category of treasures and is infinitely close to a living entity.
During Chu Yang's refining process, the golden dragon remained constantly by his side, as if protecting him.
As the last wisp of Nine Profound Golden Lightning was refined, Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes, a flash of lightning appearing in them, and his left leg shone as brilliantly as if cast in gold.
The golden baby dragon came closer and rubbed its head against his arm affectionately.
Chu Yang patted his head and said with a smile, "Legend has it that the dragons of the Heavenly Court are surnamed Ao. Since you were born from thunder, I'll call you Ao Ting!"
The golden dragon seemed quite pleased with the name, frolicking and emitting a few somewhat immature roars.
Chu Yangyang slowly stood up, took a light step, and the space trembled instantly. Thunder roared, and his figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already above the Thunder Pool.
