At this moment, Jiaolong was still trapped in the illusion.
When Xi Chen stood with his hands behind his hands, he looked at its huge body with complex and changeable expressions in his eyes, as if he was yearning for it, but also as if he was hating it...
But after a moment, everything became relief.
Feng Qingwu took a real look, but didn't ask any more questions. After all, everything that followed still needed Xi Chen, who had arranged the seal and now became the center of the seal, to take the lead in order for it to proceed smoothly.
Finally, Xi Chen said: "Since the Wu family took away the jade pendant, the seal I left has also had loopholes, but the most troublesome thing is that I have lost the ability to control the sealing formation, causing my power to continue to drain. "
"Senior, what you mean is that the jade pendant is your true body?"
"Yes and no."
Xi Chen paused and explained: "This is about the structure of the seal."
"I store my last ray of soul in the jade pendant as the center of the control formation. The blood pool and my bones transmit power to it to keep the power in the jade pendant from dissipating. At the same time-"
"This formation can only be controlled when the jade pendant exists."
Hearing this, Feng Qingwu said clearly: "No wonder I only used this jade pendant once after I got it, and it almost lost its power. It turned out that it had been kept in the Wu family ancestral hall without supplies."
Xi Chen also nodded and sighed: "If the jade pendant had not been taken away, the power in it would not have been lost, and the dragon would not have had room to resist."
"So, the Wu family is also smart but has been misled by their cleverness."
Feng Qingwu sighed and shook his head.
They thought that by holding the jade pendant and enshrining it in the ancestral hall, they had obtained a way to save their lives. However, they did not expect that if they had not taken it away on their own initiative, how could Jiaolong find a loophole to escape from it and use all possible means?
Everything is just your own fault...
Speaking of the Wu family, Xi Chen's expression changed slightly and seemed a little sad: "The Wu family, they are also deceived and greedy."
"Senior, since you have sealed the dragon, you should also know the story behind the dragon, right? Tianji Pavilion is also vague about this. It just said that Shicheng is the place where the fake dragon sleeps. It seems to be related to some demon clan?"
"..."
Xi Chen was silent for a moment, seeming a little sad.
Finally, under Feng Qingwu's earnest eyes, Xi Chen explained: "This happened a long time ago. This dragon... can actually take the form of a human. And she was not a so-called dragon, but a snake."
Feng Qingwu was not surprised.
After all, real dragons are too rare. Most snakes and the like have a lifelong wish to draw their bloodline closer to the so-called real dragons.
But unexpectedly, Xi Chen's next words made Feng Qingwu slightly stunned.
"Have you not realized yet, junior, that she can take on human form?"
"...What do you mean, senior?"
Feng Qingwu pursed her lips and subconsciously raised her eyes to the sky above the cave, where the huge and ugly body of the dragon trapped in the illusion was trembling.
She couldn't even imagine the meaning of Xi Chen's words.
Feng Qingwu was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Senior, did something happen to this dragon after it turned into a human form?"
"She was just a snake."
Xi Chen paused and began to talk: "When I broke through from the Nascent Soul stage, overcoming the tribulation, to the transformation stage, she was included in the scope of the thunder tribulation. Because I was going through the tribulation, I was struck by the thunder. He should have died."
"But she was innocent and was implicated, so she died like this. I couldn't bear it, so I used a ray of spiritual power to protect her."
"In the end, it was all due to a combination of circumstances."
"On the contrary, she relied on the power of Thunder Tribulation and finally succeeded in transforming."
Along with the narration, Xi Chen seemed to be caught up in the memories of the past, with sadness and uncontrollable nostalgia in his eyes: "She has no name, and she transformed in response to the thunder, so I named her - Lei. .”
Listening to that complicated tone, Feng Qingwu couldn't help but fell silent.
This sounds like a lot of stories...
Immediately afterwards, Xi Chen spoke: "She has been following me since she appeared. This may be a kind of fate, so I helped her with her cultivation if I could, and led her on her journey. this road."
"We are friends, comrades, and..."
Xi Chen didn't finish what he said, but Feng Qingwu could guess the last two words - "lover". This might be their real relationship.
But Feng Qingwu didn't say it out loud.
Xi Chen seemed unwilling to explain clearly and changed the subject: "We have always gotten along very well, until she was trapped in the Foundation Establishment stage due to her inferior bloodline and was unable to break through, and then there was a rift."
"But that's the case with ferocious beasts. Even the legendary monster race essentially focuses on blood. Only with the bloodline of advanced ferocious beasts can it be possible to truly cultivate to a high level, otherwise... it will never work."
Human nature, understanding, diligence...
There is still the possibility of change and turnaround.
But this is not the case for ferocious beasts and monsters. Although the adult period of those high-level bloodlines is long, as long as they can reach adulthood, enter the mature stage, or even fully develop in the end, they must be in a high-level realm.
Adulthood is about transforming into gods, refining emptiness, etc...
This is also the biggest injustice between the ferocious beasts and monsters compared to humans!
After Feng Qingwu was silent for a moment, he said: "Senior, do you mean that it is because of blood that Lei wants to become a dragon?"
Xi Chen nodded: "Well, I am in the realm of refining the void, but Lei is only in the foundation building stage. The gap between the two of us is so big that...she has turned into loess, and I can still live for thousands of years." .”
"Is that why Lei is so uneasy?"
When he said this, Xi Chen sighed deeply.
But Feng Qingwu suddenly interrupted Xi Chen's emotion and nostalgia, and suddenly said: "Senior, let's not talk about how difficult it is for the demon clan to overcome the shackles of blood. The ferocious beasts will only be more difficult than the demon clan's promotion channels, right? ?”
"A snake-like ferocious beast that can only break through to the foundation-building stage, and even has personal guidance from a big boss in the realm of refining the void, can only achieve this. You can imagine how inferior her bloodline is, and how difficult it is to be promoted. "
"..."
Xi Chen fell into silence for a moment and sighed. It was obvious that Feng Qingwu was right, and he also explained: "Indeed."
"I promised Lei that I would find a way for her to break through the shackles of her bloodline, so that she could live forever with me and walk towards the great road, but... I didn't expect that even with my strength in the Void Refining Stage, it would be difficult to find one. "
"Because it took too long, Lei gradually lost confidence in me. She decided to look for it on her own. On the way, she heard a rumor."
"What rumors?"
Feng Qingwu asked curiously.
Xi Chen said word by word: "There are demon clans in the mountains of 100,000 miles."
