One day later.
Yi Bai, who transformed into a dragon in the East China Sea, returned to Shuanglong River. He was very grateful to the gray rat, rabbit demon, temple blessing, and Taoist priest who came to help him this time.
After bowing to them one by one, they talked for a long time and then gradually left.
Daoist people are always crazy, and they don't know where to go without talking for a while.
Miao Zhu wanted to return to take care of Dongyue Temple and leave soon.
As for the two demons, the gray rat and the rabbit, they knew that Yi Bai had just transformed into a dragon and needed time to settle, so they left. However, before leaving, the two demons reminded Yi Bai that there were only 100 people left to compete for the ranking of the twelve earthly branches. Nine days.
Yi Bai knew in his heart that after recording the time of nine days, he returned to the bottom of the upper reaches of Shuanglong River.
…
The bottom of the upper reaches of the river.
Yi Bai entered with the body of a hundred-foot-long dragon. He stretched out the dragon's head and looked down in all directions. When he saw the old turtle at the bottom of the river leading a dozen little demon queens, his heart suddenly sank.
These dozen or so little demons all suffered considerable injuries.
"Dragon Lord, no, now it's time to call yourself a true dragon. True dragon, you have finally turned into a dragon!"
The old turtle swam over and was very happy.
"Mr. Prophet, you... and there are many little demons, are your injuries serious?"
Yi Bai looked at the mark on the old turtle's back and asked aloud.
"My injuries are not serious, the little demons are okay, and the real dragon can rest assured!"
The old turtle said hurriedly.
"That's good. Please ask Mr. Seer to take care of my funeral, and then sit in charge of Shuanglong River for me. I need nine days to master the dragon body in order to participate in the ranking of the twelve earthly branches!"
Yi Bai instructed.
In his heart, he silently regarded the old turtle and a dozen little demons as his confidants.
"Let the real dragon go, I will take care of things for the real dragon."
The old turtle said.
Yi Bai said no more, twisted the dragon's body, and went to the bottom of the river, looking for a pure place to adjust himself.
Old Turtle watched Yi Bai leave, feeling very good.
"Everyone, you can rest assured. Now the dragon king has become a real dragon. We have succeeded!"
The old turtle swam in front of a dozen little demons and said.
"I am satisfied enough!"
"Speaking of it, the jiushi is really hard-working. He has scars all over his body and can eliminate three demons with one effort!"
"The mediator is really fierce!"
A dozen little demons cast their sights on the river crab.
The river crab stuck its two big pincers on the ground and said with a smile: "I'm just doing things for the real dragon. Why bother with this body? As long as the real dragon can succeed, I will give up this body, so what?"
The little monsters laughed happily.
The old turtle looked on.
Gudongdong...
A burst of bubbles appeared at the bottom of the river.
Seeing the dragon swimming around, he was very obedient.
The old turtle glanced at it and swam over there.
"Taolong, are you feeling well now?"
The old turtle stepped forward and said
It looked at the alligator and sighed in its heart, with a sense of pity.
It had previously helped Yi Bai to cross the water, so it rushed there with the little monsters. Because Tailong was the only big monster in Shuanglongjiang River among the monsters, it made a special trip to invite him.
But this dragon knew that there were demons causing trouble when he was walking in the water. He was greedy for life and afraid of death. He said he was unwell and hid himself, refusing to do anything.
"Mr. Prophet, my body... is just fine, just fine. I wonder if Mr. Long mentioned me?"
Tailong asked cautiously.
"No, it's time for you to change your story. Now it's time to call yourself a real dragon."
The old turtle shook his head and said.
"Yes, yes, yes, I wonder if the true dragon will ascend to heaven one day, will I still be a part of it?"
asked the dragon.
"How do I know this? This is a matter of true dragons."
The old turtle spoke vaguely.
Tailong could only stay where he was, distressed and regretful.
…
River bottom.
Yi Bai was entrenched on the dragon's body of a hundred feet. He looked inside himself and was deeply shocked by the power contained in the dragon's body.
The strength of the dragon's body was far beyond that of his former dragon body.
With his current dragon body, equipped with Buddhist Zen staff, Buddha's Light Silk, and various Taoist techniques, he already looks like a great monster in the world.
It can even be said that if he does evil today, he will be able to cause catastrophe in the world.
However, Yi Bai knew that he had not yet become familiar with the power in his dragon body, and he still had many things to do.
The most important thing is to transform the demon elixir in his body into 'Dragon Balls'.
Dragon beads can mean the dragon’s exclusive inner elixir.
If he can transform the demon pill into a dragon ball, his power will reach a new level.
There is also the issue of dragon horns.
Yi Bai knew that he had not grown dragon horns.
However, he knew that growing dragon horns would also take a long time to achieve.
He had already known that "a dragon will become a dragon after five hundred years, a dragon after a thousand years, a horned dragon after a thousand years, and a horned dragon after a thousand years."
This is Yi Bai's way.
Ceratops was just the next step for him.
It means that during his practice, he gradually grows horns. After he has completed five hundred years of practice, the dragon's horns will become self-contained.
"There are a lot of things to do. Come to think of it, I have to fly to heaven so I can have free time to practice slowly."
Yi Bai knew that it was impossible to accomplish these things without a certain amount of time.
Buzz!
Yi Baiben wanted to take a closer look at his dragon body, but suddenly he felt his air pockets trembling.
He looked inside the air hole and felt that the Hutian was trembling. He looked again and saw that at the bottom of the Hutian, a black dragon scale was trembling.
This dragon scale...
It was given to him by the True Dragon of Suolongjing when he solved the Hail God matter.
The real dragon said at the beginning that this dragon scale could help him transform into a dragon through water.
But now that he has transformed into a dragon, why are his dragon scales acting strange today?
Yi Bai took out the black dragon scale.
The black dragon scales were taken out and immediately turned into a stream of light, injected into Yi Bai's dragon head.
Yi Bai only felt that his practice was increasing rapidly. He closed his eyes and cooperated wholeheartedly to accept and digest this new power.
…
One day later.
Yi Bai's dragon head actually had two horns growing out of it, but the horns were still shorter than real dragon horns.
However, for him who had just transformed into a dragon, this was an extremely terrifying thing.
Yi Bai slowly opened his eyes.
How could he not know what was happening.
A piece of dragon scale from the real dragon under Suolong Well saved him two hundred years of hard work. He had already taken a big step on the road of horned dragon, so he grew dragon horns, but the horns were not yet finished.
"The real dragon really didn't lie to me. This dragon scale is really a great help. If my life is at stake and I am exhausted, this dragon scale will help me regain my energy. If my life is not in harm's way, this dragon scale can help me." Help me practice!"
Yi Bai felt grateful.
He also found out the information in the dragon scales. After transforming into a dragon, the first thing to do is to transform the demon pill into dragon beads. Only in this way can he be regarded as a real dragon.
After getting the Dragon Ball, the main thing is to practice hard. The dragon cultivates the dragon horns and becomes a horned dragon. There is no disaster in the process, and you can practice with peace of mind.
As long as it becomes a horned dragon, the dragon will be able to soar on its own without the help of external objects or the ability to ride on clouds and wind.
Dragon horns are extremely important to dragons. They can rely on them to fly and perform various methods.
After Yi Bai learned about the role of dragon horns, he attached more importance to his pair of small dragon horns.
He had heard a saying about dragons.
His words come from a sentence in "Compendium of Materia Medica", which says, "A dragon cannot ascend to heaven without a foot or a tree."
The so-called ruler wood is dragon horn, also known as Boshan.
'Dragon beads and dragon horns are all dragon treasures! '
Yibai concluded.
He didn't have time to think about anything else. He was busy gathering his thoughts and began to concentrate on digesting the demon power.
His demonic power has already skyrocketed due to his dragon transformation. Now that he has the help of dragon scales, his dragon body will not be able to handle it no matter how powerful it is if it is not digested.
Yi Bai concentrated on visualization, using the visualization state to help himself digest the soaring demonic power.
…
soon.
Eight days passed.
late at night.
Yi Bai has been concentrating on visualization and digesting the soaring demonic power.
But on this day, a golden light came from outside the river, shining directly on the bottom of the river, and billowing golden energy surged.
"Chen Shen, please show up and see me!"
Along with the golden energy, there was a deafening sound.
Yi Bai woke up from the state of visualization. How could he not know that it was the time for the election of the twelve earthly branches? He didn't dare to lift up, twisted the dragon's body, and walked towards the shore.
Not long after.
Yi Bai has arrived at the shore. He has transformed into a human form and put on rich clothes. He looked up and saw that he was the god general of the past.
The god general stood on the shore, with the golden aura billowing from his body as always, the fragrance of garlands lingering, and the azure mist in full bloom.
However, this kind of golden energy is nothing to be afraid of for Yi Bai today.
Today, Yi Bai's demonic aura covers the sky and the sun, and there is a hint of golden light in it, which is far more terrifying than the golden aura of the general.
"Tatsumi!"
The god will bow down.
"General, long time no see!"
Yi Bai also returned the favor.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. God Chen is in charge of me, so I don't dare to accept this gift from you."
The god general stepped sideways, not daring to accept the gift.
"Why would God say this? This gift has nothing to do with status, but rather depends on God's help to me. I am grateful."
Yi Bai said this and bowed again.
After hearing this, the general did not hide, and his face became more smiling.
The god general accepted Yi Bai's gift, and then spoke, "God Chen, starting from today, the competition for the ranking of the twelve earthly branches will begin. The rules are very simple. From today on, who of the twelve demons will rush there first?" In the capital city of the human dynasty, whoever sees the divine generals in the capital city will be ranked first, and they will be ranked among the twelve branches based on the order of arrival."
God will tell the story.
"Twelve teams have been ranked one after another? Is it too childish?"
Yi Bai frowned and said,
If the ranking is really based on the order of arrival, this would be too casual and not rigorous.
If it really depends on the order of priority, then he can just fly with all his strength. It won't take long for him to reach the capital of the world. In this case, he will be the first?
"I dare not hide it from Chen Shen. What we are fighting for is just a false name and is of no use. What is important is the process along the way. Along the way to the capital, the mountains are high and the roads are long. There are many demons and evil ways. Killing them can be counted as merit. Dai Chen After the gods ascend to heaven, merit is related to Chen Shen’s rank, Chen Shen, do you understand?”
The god general whispered, and when he mentioned the 'evil and evil way', his voice became three points thicker.
Hear this.
How could Yi Bai not understand? The meaning is obvious. Competing for the ranking of the earthly branches is just a false name and is not important.
But along the way, there may be tests. If you pass the tests, you will receive merit. These test merits represent the grade after heaven.
"Thank you, General God. I already know it! I will remember the kindness of General God in my heart."
Yi Bai was busy and bowed his hands.
He was grateful, knowing that God would tell him this, which was beyond the rules.
"There is no need for this. Just don't let others know about it. The rest of the matter will be discussed slowly when God Chen goes to heaven in the future! I still need to go to heaven to return to my life. God Chen, let's say goodbye!"
The god returned the gift and said.
“God will spare you!”
Yi Bai stopped.
"What's going on? Is there anything Chenshen can't accomplish?"
The god stopped and asked.
"General God, I wonder if when I go to the capital to go to heaven, I might bring some little demons from the river with me?"
Yi Bai asked.
The demons in Shuanglongjiang did not let him down, so he wanted to repay them.
"Bring the little demon with you? Of course you can. Chen Shen can bring fifty followers, no more than fifty. But please Chen Shen must let him accompany you on the road to the capital, so that you can go to heaven."
God will answer.
"Thank you God for clearing up the confusion!"
Yi Bai was grateful.
The god general laughed, stamped his feet, and said, "Go away," and his figure disappeared in a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
Yi Bai watched the god leave.
He did not return to the river, but stood on the bank outside the river. He shouted loudly: "Prophet, show up quickly!"
His voice echoed along the riverside.
Yi Bai already knew in his heart which monsters he would take with him to heaven.
Old turtle, river crab, catfish, river shrimp...
A dozen demons flashed through his mind.
He remembered all the dozen or so little demons that helped him when he was swimming.
"True dragon, I'm here!"
The old turtle swam over and spoke.
"Master Prophet, go quickly and bring the demon who used to help me walk with you on the water. We will go on the road together to the capital of the human kingdom. We will travel by water, and we will travel by day and night."
Yi Bai said something in a few words.
He considered that the little demons could not be exposed to the sun's rays, so he chose to hide during the day and come out at night.
"A real dragon, but it wants to go to heaven?"
The old turtle was very surprised.
"good."
Yi Bai nodded and answered.
"Don't wait for the real dragon! I'll call the demons right away!"
The old turtle was so anxious that he wanted to go underwater again.
However, Yi Bai stopped Lao Gui and told him that he would let Tai Long stay in Shuanglong River, and told Tai Long that if he dared to do evil, he would be held accountable when he comes down from the sky.
The old turtle naturally agreed.
…
Soon.
The old turtle brought a dozen little monsters. Counting the old turtle, there were a total of thirteen monsters.
Yi Bai stepped forward and encouraged the little demons.
This made the little demons howl with excitement.
The crab demon even waved two large pincers, indicating that if there was a war, it would be the vanguard for Yi Bai and fight to the death without regrets.
Yi Bai smiled and said nothing.
He pulled Lao Gui aside and discussed the route to the capital.
"True Dragon, wait, you really can't ask me. I have never left Dongjie County. How can I know the way to the capital?"
The old turtle shook his head. He knew that the location was favorable and was limited to Dongjie County.
If it were away from Dongjie County, it would not be able to tell the difference between the north and the south.
"That's it, let's go to Sanjiang County along the waterway first. I want to visit a senior."
Yi Bai plans to visit Suolongjing True Dragon.
He knew that this old dragon had helped him a lot. Now that he had transformed into a dragon, it was time for him to thank him.
Moreover, he will go to heaven, and if he has a way at that time, he will definitely save this old dragon. He can see that the old dragon has a good nature and is by no means an evil person.
"I obey the orders of the real dragon. Don't worry, real dragon. I'm in charge of the little demons. Nothing can go wrong."
The old turtle said.
Yi Bai didn't say much. He took thirteen little demons along the rivers and waterways and started heading towards Sanjiang County...
I got home late. It suddenly became cold today. My fingers are stiff and my typing is slow. I just updated it now. My friends, please forgive me.
Suddenly I realized that it is winter now. My friends, is it cold there?
There will be another chapter updated later.
