The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 243 - 189: Establish Dragon Gate, Build Jianhua Dragon Pool

Chapter 243: Chapter 189: Establish Dragon Gate, Build Jianhua Dragon Pool

I saw the object that escaped from the Qiankun Tripod, one of which took the shape of a doorway, towering thousands of feet high, golden in color, like a long rainbow. The golden door frame was engraved with thousands of dragon-shaped patterns, each either coiled or lying down, showing their teeth and dancing claws, lifelike in appearance. Above the grand lintel, there was a light purple plaque, engraved with two Great Dao runes, reading: "Dragon Gate"!

Another object was a massive stone pond. On a huge flat green stone slab, there was a stone pond hundreds of feet across, engraved with countless Great Dao runes. At the four corners of the pond were protruding dragon heads, appearing alive with fine scales and long whiskers, their mouths slightly open, each holding a shiny golden pearl. The bottom of the pond was engraved with scenes of Nine Dragons playing in the water, some flying, some coiled, some making rain or frolicking! And right in the center of the pond was also a plaque, reading "Dragon Transformation Pond"!

The water in the pond was clear and contained Creation Energy, each drop of water seeming to nurture its own world.

"Du!" Li Qingming recalled the Qiankun Tripod and shouted fiercely, thrusting the four clusters of Dragon King Essence Blood floating in mid-air into the stone pond.

"Boom!" The entire stone pond began to boil, the dragon-shaped carvings at the bottom seemed to come to life, twisting their strong dragon bodies frantically, rising into the air! For a moment, vigor dispersed everywhere, filled with Dragon Power!

"Boom!" Just then, thunderstorms suddenly descended above the Eastern Sea Domain, those thick bucket-sized deep purple thunderbolts crazily tumbling down, heading straight for the waters of the Eastern Sea Domain.

Seeing this purple lightning strike the water surface, it did not dissipate, but maintained its state, defying nature, and madly rushed towards the sky above the sea! Specifically, heading towards the massive Dragon Gate and the Dragon Transformation Pond.

This was a Heavenly Tribulation, a Spirit Treasure Thunder Tribulation!

"Ao!"

Before the Demon Race could even react, an even more astonishing scene occurred. The thousands of dragons carved on the Dragon Gate, just like the carvings at the bottom of the Dragon Transformation Pond, rose into the air. They let out a heaven-shaking roar together, which turned into massive sound waves, raising huge waves, charging towards the falling purple lightning.

"Boom!"

The towering waves turned all the falling purple lightning into the purest energy in the world, pulling it into the Dragon Gate and the Dragon Transformation Pond. The surging unparalleled force, with occasional bursts of purple electric arcs, forged two extremely powerful Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Seeing that the two Spiritual Treasures had weathered this tribulation, Li Qingming smiled faintly and reached out with one hand. The two treasures, "Dragon Gate" headed west, flying towards the inland Primordial along the Yellow River Basin, getting stuck between an extremely narrow gorge. The Dragon Transformation Pond directly flew to the East Sea Crystal Palace, deeply rooting itself in the open fields behind.

Thus, the Dragon Gate and the Dragon Transformation Pond were completely settled!

Li Qingming glanced at the Four Sea Dragon Kings, looked up to the sky, and announced: "I, the Heavenly Emperor Qingming of the Heavenly Court, hereby establish a gate called ’Dragon Gate’ at the pass of the Yellow River. Every thousand years, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the Dragon Gate will open once. Any member of the Golden Carp Clan between Heaven and Earth who can leap over the Dragon Gate will shed their carp form, enter the ’Dragon Transformation Pond’ of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, and gain the form of a True Dragon and the fruits of the Heavenly Immortal Dao!"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Carp Clan between Heaven and Earth were overjoyed and swam vigorously with their tails towards the upstream of the Yellow River. However, since ancient times, water has flowed downwards, and swimming against the current without a robust physique and prolonged training was sheer folly. Fortunately, in the Primordial Heaven and Earth, those with a basic level of spiritual intelligence all possessed some Mana, and these fish frantically waved their bodies, desperately moving upstream.

When they reached the mentioned pass, the Golden Carp Clan were all struck with amazement and astonishment. Here, the place shone with golden light, and the two colossal pillars seemed to touch the sky, their tops invisible and bottoms unfathomable. Countless bubbles rapidly ascended, and the dense spiritual energy, as clean as a clear spring, made this place look like an Immortal Realm.

Just then, Li Qingming’s voice resounded again: "Those leaping dragons are defying the heavens, and those who fail will endure a hundred years of blood whipping and lose their second chance to leap through the Dragon Gate a thousand years later, until the third opening of the Dragon Gate! May the Golden Carp Clan tread carefully and take heed!"

Hearing this, some carp showed hesitation in their eyes, turning back to their original river; some flickered uncertainly, searching for a cave nearby to cultivate; others showed determined eyes, vigorously flapped their fins, and continued upstream against the golden-yellow river water.

When they were about several feet from the side of the Dragon Gate, they realized that the Dragon Gate extended far above the water surface directly into the clouds, and seemed to be bound by some Power of Laws, making it impossible to cross. One could only leap over it, otherwise it was difficult to pass through the Dragon Gate, because it was impossible to ride the clouds here, no matter how powerful your Mana, how could you fly over it?

Moreover, the deeply embedded door frame in the river floor was extremely smooth, and the current here was a surging undercurrent, a slight carelessness could sweep someone away. The leader of the Golden Carp Clan, the Young Clan Leader, Jinyu, exchanged glances with several other carps, and suddenly stood upright. He fiercely slapped his tail on the surface of the water!

"Splash!" Boundless splashes were stirred up, the river surface sank down hundreds of feet, and Jinyu, using this force, flew straight towards the Dragon Gate.

The other Golden Carps all popped their heads above the surface of the Yellow River, watching silently as the Young Clan Leader soared upwards. Just as he was about to reach the threshold of the Dragon Gate, Jinyu’s momentum was exhausted, and he began to slowly descend. "Hss!" Remembering the expectant gazes of his father and mother, and thinking of the countless Golden Carps, Jinyu roared unwillingly.

Suddenly, a water column shot straight up from the surface of the Yellow River, and Li Qingming’s voice once again echoed through Heaven and Earth: "As the first Golden Carp to attempt leaping through the Dragon Gate, I permit him to draw strength once more. If he still fails, then let him return when the Dragon Gate opens for the third time."

Jinyu’s expression instantly invigorated; his tail fin fiercely slapped on the water column, and his small and exquisite fish body soared up once again.

"Pop!" As Jinyu leapt through the Dragon Gate, he only felt a blinding white before him, feeling as if he had burst through some bindings, and his body became inexplicably lighter. Soon after, he found himself at the end of the Dragon Gate, feeling as if he had entered another world.

His body was immersed in a warm liquid. When he opened his eyes again, what appeared before him was a huge pool containing some blood-tinged liquid. In the four corners of the pool were dragon head statues. These dragon heads seemed alive, as their purple gold eyes emitted a faint greenish light, followed by a few crisp "snap" noises. The statues’ enormous mouths slightly opened, and a stream of blood-red liquid gushingly flowed out.

Suddenly, four loud Dragon Roars emanated from the dragon head statues. A dragon pearl emitting a faint purple glow slowly formed under Jinyu’s chin, akin to a crocodile ball beneath a crocodile’s chin.

After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the water in the pool suddenly started churning intensely. A small whirlpool centered around Jinyu, who was forming a Dragon Ball, began to slowly take shape. Countless Star Powers were drawn down from the skyline in an instant. Gradually, a milky white keratin layer oozed out from within the Dragon Ball, tightly enveloping Jinyu, ultimately forming an egg-like shape!

It’s unknown how much time had passed when the Golden Carps in the Yellow River grew impatient. The egg in the Dragon Transformation Pond was also undergoing tremendous changes. The egg, initially about three feet, started to inflate and grew bigger. Slowly, this gigantic egg gradually occupied half of the Dragon Transformation Pond’s surface area.

"Crack!" Suddenly, a crisp sound of a shell cracking rang out, and a nine-clawed dragon claw emerged, followed by a fierce dragon head and a strong golden dragon body with powerful tail fins. Furthermore, this dragon was wrapped in deep purple electrical arcs, a rare Nine-clawed Thunder Dragon!

"Roar!" The Nine-clawed Thunder Dragon let out a long roar towards the sky, then soared up, circling in the air before descending.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings, seeing Jinyu transform into a dragon, were overjoyed and hurried to meet the Nine-clawed Thunder Dragon even before it landed.

Upon landing, the Thunder Dragon transformed into a handsome young man in a purple robe, his high nose and sword-like eyebrows piercing into the clouds. Seeing Aoguang and the other Four Sea Dragon Kings by his side, with a telepathic sensation, he knelt and bowed: "Young Clan Leader Jinyu of the Golden Carp Clan thanks the Four Sea Dragon Kings! My Golden Carp Clan shall forever remember the grace of the Four Sea Dragon Kings!"

Aoguang helped Jinyu up and said: "Hahaha, well done! Our Dragon Clan has successors now! Little guy, you should not be thanking us, but rather His Majesty the Northern Emperor. Go and give thanks to the Northern Emperor!"

Aoguang said this leading Jinyu to Li Qingming and announced: "This is His Majesty the Northern Emperor!"

Jinyu looked up and saw the legendary Northern Emperor was about eight feet tall, dressed in a green Taoist robe, with a slightly thin body exuding an elegant aura. However, his face was like a fog, no matter how Jinyu tried, he couldn’t see clearly.

Seeing this, Jinyu’s heart filled with immense admiration. He bowed deeply and loudly proclaimed: "Jinyu of the Golden Carp Clan thanks His Majesty for the blessing of Creation, from now on, my Golden Carp Clan shall worship day and night in gratitude to His Majesty!"

Li Qingming waved his hand and said: "Under the Heavenly Dao, there is always a glimmer of hope! You all should cultivate diligently, lest your transformation into dragon forms be in vain."

Aoguang looked at Jinyu and said: "Jinyu, today I wish to take you as my son, what do you say?"

Jinyu was momentarily stunned, then ecstatically kowtowed: "Son Ao Yu, pays respect to Father King!"

Aoguang and the other three Dragon Kings laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! Yu’er, from today onwards you will be the Crown Prince of our Dragon Clan! To ensure the continuation of our Dragon Clan’s bloodline, you shall stay in our Dragon Palace to guard the Dragon Transformation Pond, how about that?"

Ao Yu nodded and once again kowtowed: "Your son is willing to guard this Dragon Transformation Pond to ensure the long-standing of our Dragon Clan’s bloodline!"

"Boom!"

Just at that moment, a colossal Demonic Qi suddenly emanated from above the Western Sumeru Mountain, alarming everyone! (To be continued.
