Xu Xian asked in bewilderment, "What is this?" He stretched out his hand to take it, but was stopped by a white hand.
Bai Suzhen frowned and asked, "Lord Ao Gan, what is this so-called 'Dragon Race Cultivation Method'?
Can you explain it to us? "
She had already taken one of these things without knowing why. That day, the matter was urgent and she didn't have time to ask in detail. Naturally, she had to ask clearly what effect it had before letting Xu Xian take it.
Xu Xian was surprised. This was the 'Dragon Race Cultivation Method'. It wasn't a book, nor was it a picture. It wasn't even something of a higher level like a jade scroll that he had imagined. It was actually a piece of 'jelly'!
Ao Gan smiled and said, "This is something that many dragons joined together to research the path of immortality.
Its greatest effect is to transform the physical body, but the direction of the transformation is not fixed. No, it should be said that it is controlled by the host.
After conducting experiments in the Nine Prefectures, we found that it can indeed increase one's strength by quite a bit, but it doesn't have much benefit in increasing one's lifespan. "
Xu Xian hurriedly asked, "What kind of transformation method?"
He had already discovered that his strength was insufficient and was thinking of some ways to improve it. However, the path of cultivation was about progressing step by step, and there was no quick way.
Ao Gan said, "It's hard to say. Let's take snakes for example!
Some snakes grow horns and become the so-called 'Flood Dragons'. Some grow wings and become 'Winged Dragons'.
Those that are lucky can completely become dragons, and those that are even luckier grow nine heads and are called Nine-Headed Infants.
There are also those that grow four legs and human faces. There are all kinds of strange things. "
"Ah!" Bai Suzhen covered her mouth with her hand. She had already absorbed that thing, so she wouldn't become nine heads, right?
Ao Gan seemed to have seen through Bai Suzhen's worry and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this has a lot to do with one's own nature."
Xu Xian finally understood that this thing wasn't a cultivation method. It was simply a 'genetic mutation' and 'genetic recombination'. It was a biological technology that the humans of the later generations couldn't hope to match.
He couldn't help but ask, "You guys experimented with all the creatures of the Nine Prefectures?"
Ao Gan said, "I didn't exist at that time!
However, I heard from my grandfather that this thing was fused into the clouds and used rain to cover the land of the Nine Prefectures. "
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue in wonder. "At that time, there were all kinds of things on the ground. Nine-tailed foxes, one-legged cows, one-legged birds. Sigh, there were so many of them.
But then a three-legged bird appeared and led a bunch of strange things to fight against them. They were all dumbfounded … "
Xu Xian compared them with the divine beasts in his memory. "Nine-tailed Fox, Kui Ox, Bi Fang, Golden Crow." Then he asked, "What about the Qilin, Phoenix, and other innate divine beasts?"
Ao Gan shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as an innate divine beast. Oxen and horses can cultivate into a qilin, and if a pheasant works hard, it can also transform into a phoenix. That dazzling Imperial Monarch Golden Crow was originally just a crow.
On the contrary, if you think yourself to be a god and lose your ambition, then the mediocre people of the Eastern Sea are the perfect example. "
Xu Xian once thought that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was fabricated out of thin air by the ancestors. There were all kinds of strange creatures in it, and from a biological point of view, it was not worth pondering.
Now, the so-called Great Desolate Land, where monsters ran amok, was just an experimental field of a group of unscrupulous dragon "scientists".
However, the result was similar to the plot in the sci-fi movies of later generations. Humans created robots, and then they were destroyed by the robots. Simply put, it was a "mistake"!
In the end, the dragon race also made a mistake. They planted a seed in the big experimental field of the Nine Prefectures, but what grew in the end was a large number of creatures that they could not control.
The status of the dragon race's predator was threatened, and sometimes they even became the prey.
They had no choice but to start the "full recall" plan. However, it was easy to dig out a seed, but if the seed had grown into a towering tree, it was easier said than done to dig it out.
The dragon race suffered heavy losses. Coupled with their low reproductive ability, their numbers were greatly reduced, and from then on, they went into decline.
Moreover, the dragon race civilization and human civilization were two completely different forms of civilization.
For a normal person, they all had two aspects, "individual consciousness" and "group social consciousness".
On the one hand, they pursued the independence of individual thinking and behavior. On the other hand, they had to gather and form a society to fight against the external environment and reproduce.
These two kinds of consciousness were opposite to each other, but they coexisted and formed the so-called "human society".
However, the dragon race's individual strength made them "independent", but not "social".
Strength, courage, wisdom, lifespan, these creatures that stood at the top of the food chain were almost perfect.
However, they formed a group with a huge flaw. All these reasons combined ended the glory of the dragon race, but started the era of human beings.
Xu Xian looked at the light green translucent "jelly" in Ao Gan's palm and asked, "What effect does this thing have on human beings?"
"Their physical bodies will become stronger, and generally, they will become taller and bigger. Some can even control fire and water."
"Control fire and water? Could it be Zhurong or Gonggong?"
Xu Xian broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Bai Suzhen stopped him and didn't rashly take it. If he really turned into a prehistoric giant, he would be strong, but how could he meet people? He wouldn't even be able to enter the bridal room.
Ao Gan stared at Xu Xian with his dark golden eyes and said, "This is also related to one's temperament. There was once a person who used this method, but he maintained his original appearance.
You choose for yourself, do you want it or not?
Anyway, this is the only one left. If you don't want it, that little girl next to you will be looking at you eagerly! "He was talking about Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing indeed coveted this thing. Last night, when Bai Suzhen mentioned this, she still felt a little guilty. She thought it would be some kind of method that could let Xiaoqing cultivate together, but she didn't expect this result.
Xiaoqing only said it didn't matter, but today, after listening to Ao Gan's story, she was even more tempted.
As for how to change her original appearance, she didn't care at all. As long as she didn't change her current appearance, it was fine.
Bai Suzhen advised, "Why don't we just forget about it!
Just let Qing 'er have this one! "
In any case, she already had one, and her strength should be able to increase by quite a bit. Naturally, she would be able to protect him. Even if she couldn't, there was still Xiaoqing, but she didn't want him to take this kind of risk.
Xu Xian patted her lily-white hand and said to Ao Gan, "Of course I have to."
He couldn't possibly need her to protect him forever. In this kind of situation, if he still didn't want it, then he really couldn't be considered a man. "Can this thing be separated?"
"Of course."
Ao Gan's palm trembled, and that square jelly split into two halves, but then became two small cubes.
They flew towards Xiaoqing and Xu Xian. The two stretched out their hands to catch them, and the cubes melted the moment they came into contact with their flesh, merging into their bodies. They both felt some changes in their bodies, but they couldn't tell where the changes were.
Ao Gan smiled and said, "You're really smart. In this case, dual cultivating with them will be much faster than cultivating on your own."
"Dual cultivating!?"
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing's faces both turned red, and Xu Xian asked, "Can this thing also dual cultivate?"
Speaking of which, the so-called Great Shamans in the legends all seemed to have one or two snakes by their side, either coiled on their body, stepped on their feet, or used as earrings. Was this the reason?
Ao Li asked curiously, "What is dual cultivating?" Naturally, she still didn't get an answer, and it made her pout unhappily.
Ao Gan smiled faintly, stood up and said, "Alright, I've more or less explained what needs to be explained, it's time for me to go." Looking up at the sky, his tone was relaxed as if it was just a long journey.
In the depths of the sky, it was the graveyard of every dragon.
Originally, Ao Gan had already made up his mind. If Fa Yuan came to duel with him, he would bring Fa Yuan and fly to outer space. Fa Yuan wouldn't be able to roam the four seas, but directly roam the universe.
Fa Yuan didn't come, but Ao Gan's mind didn't change. It was time to make a decision. Ao Li had already grown up, and could take care of herself.
Now, he was also walking towards his own destiny, and didn't need to struggle anymore.
While he still had some strength, he had to fly further.
Xu Xian said in surprise, "You can't be thinking of now …"
"Grandpa?" Ao Li murmured, looking at Ao Gan, she still didn't understand.
Ao Gan said to her, "It's time."
A layer of mist suddenly shrouded Ao Li's bright eyes, and she pulled Ao Gan's withered and coarse big hand, saying, "Grandpa, don't go."
Ao Gan used his big hand to pat Ao Li's small and thin shoulder, saying, "Risking our lives to maintain our remaining life is the hobby of mortals.
Even though there is great terror between life and death, we have to face it calmly. "
Ao Li hesitated for a moment, and she slowly let go, pouncing into Bai Suzhen's embrace.
The river water churned, and Bai Suzhen brought her and Xiaoqing to the cliff far away.
Ao Gan asked Xu Xian, "Brat, your knowledge is extraordinary. Do you know how far away from the sun is from here?"
Xu Xian thought for a moment, and said a number, "Three hundred million miles."
Ao Gan smiled and said, "It's about the same as mine, two hundred and ninety-nine thousand miles."
Xu Xian was surprised, "You calculated it?" Ao Gan's was the accurate number, but how did he calculate it?
Ao Gan laughed and said, "I'm very different from that ignorant and incompetent guy, Fa Yuan. You can scare him with a world map, but you can't scare me."
Then, Ao Gan talked about many of his deductions about the Milky Way, and verified them from Xu Xian.
Xu Xian was enlightened, this Lord Dragon King wasn't just physically strong, he was also an outstanding mathematician and astronomer.
In addition, he had a strangely strong prophecy ability, and the things he knew might not be less than him, and even more profound.
But how he deduced all these, he had no way of knowing.
Ao Gan smiled and said, "How insignificant, compared to this universe!"
Xu Xian retreated far away, and came to the cliff where Bai Suzhen and the others were.
The sea of clouds churned, and the world spun. In the center of the whirlpool, a huge waterspout connected heaven and earth, like a heavenly pillar.
In the center of the heavenly pillar, a five-clawed Azure Dragon several hundred zhang long soared straight up, flying straight into the sea of clouds, into the sea of clouds, into the emptiness, into the universe.
There were countless pairs of eyes in the world that were watching this scene, and they felt sorrow, sighed with emotion, and felt pity for him.
Some cheered, some jumped, and some were secretly delighted.
But the Azure Dragon didn't care, and went straight into the sea of stars. Was it death?
Or, a new beginning?
"With Ao Gan gone, there are no dragons in the world!"
