Chapter 152: Nine Transformations of the True Dragon
In the blink of an eye, Li Zhi had been practicing in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest for more than half a year.

With sufficient resource supply, his cultivation level quickly improved to the sixth level of Dragon Transformation.

In the dragon's nest, the dragon energy in the dragon cave used by the ancestor king in seclusion had less and less effect on him, and was even not as high in quality as the dragon energy in the golden dragon's body.

It is no wonder that once a cultivator reaches the realm of great power, the effects of ordinary natural treasures will become increasingly worse, and pure sources will not even be able to replenish essence. Only the use of divine sources for cultivation will have some effect.

After cultivators reach the realm of great power, they themselves have actually become a kind of high-quality natural treasure.

Although Li Zhi's cultivation had not reached the level of a great power, his physical strength had long surpassed that of a great power. After being refined by several thunder tribulations, his soul was no weaker than a half-step great power, and the quality of his magic power had even reached the level of an ordinary great power.

That is to say, the number of laws of heaven and earth they have comprehended has not yet reached the concentration of the great powers, but the quality is no worse than that of the cultivators in the Xiantai Secret Realm.

Not only was Li Zhi's realm and cultivation level improving, his body was also rapidly becoming stronger.

The aura emanating from the coffin left behind by the Ruthless Emperor is simply the most cruel place for body training in the world.

Every time Li Zhi went through an extreme tempering, his muscles would break, his bones would be broken, and his tendons would be ruptured, as if he had been subjected to the extreme punishment of being cut into pieces with a thousand knives.

Everyone was inexplicably shocked when they saw the ancient creatures in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

It seemed that none of them had ever tried to use the murderous aura emitted by the ancient coffin of the great emperor to refine their bodies.

When the golden creature saw Li Zhi refining his body in this way, he also tried it, but his body collapsed in an instant and he had to lie down for three months before he recovered.

Every time after Li Zhi finished his body training, he looked like he was dying, but as long as he stayed in the dragon cave for one night, he would appear in front of them full of energy the next day.

This kind of powerful physical qualification and recovery ability made the ancient creatures in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest completely believe that he was the descendant of the ancient emperor.

In their perception, only the descendants of ancient emperors possess such strong vitality.

But they didn't know that in order to restore his body, Li Zhi had to use hundreds of kilograms of golden holy spring water from the Immortal Mountain and a large amount of dragon energy every time.

The consumption was far beyond their imagination. The more than ten cubic meters of golden holy spring water he originally had was now reduced to less than one cubic meter.

Of course, the consumption was huge, but the gains were also huge. His body almost completed a complete transformation again.

Just relying on his physical strength, he has surpassed that powerful golden creature. In his opinion, Li Zhi's physical strength is no worse than that of the king of their clan.

Silver-gold bone marrow was born within Li Zhi's bones, and some mysterious golden divine clouds were also born in his flesh and blood. They gathered and dispersed at the will of his heart. When they gathered, they became steel, and when they dispersed, they disappeared.

Even the silver-red blood in the body seemed to be sublimated, as heavy as lead and mercury, and every drop of blood contained tremendous energy.

After achieving initial results in body refining, Li Zhi began to compete with the ancient creatures in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

Relying solely on physical strength, without the appearance of the King, they are hardly a match for Li Zhi.

His body was so strong that it seemed as if a real dragon had reappeared on earth.

His height also grew half a head, returning to the height of his youth, but his face still looked a little childish, like a child of thirteen or fourteen years old.

However, the ancient creatures in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest did not dare to look down on Li Zhi.

If Li Zhi had not repeatedly asked them not to disturb the sleeping ancestor kings or kings, perhaps they would have been unable to contain their excitement and would have woken up the ancestor king, or even their princess.

Li Zhi won the respect of the ancient clan in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest almost entirely by relying on his powerful talent.

Of course, this has to do with the fact that Li Zhi's form can be switched between the golden dragon and the Taoist body at will.

After all, the ancient tribe in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest believes in the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor.

However, as Li Zhi went deeper and further into the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, after transforming into a golden dragon, he became almost indistinguishable from a real dragon.

Even after breaking through the sixth level of Dragon Transformation, his soul could temporarily transform into a real dragon.

This further dispelled the doubts of those ancient creatures, as if Li Zhi was really the descendant of the legendary Golden Dragon Emperor he mentioned.

According to legend, there is a real dragon that successfully entered the fairyland when the path to immortality was opened millions of years ago.

When Li Zhi told those ancient creatures the secret that the road to immortality opens once every million years, those ancient creatures truly believed that Li Zhi was the descendant of the Golden Dragon Emperor.

Moreover, Li Zhi told them that the road to immortality that was opened this time was a road that could truly lead to the fairyland, not the blocked road in the past, which made them respect Li Zhi as the Son of God.

But Li Zhi rejected their titles, saying that he wanted to surpass his father's generation with his own strength and did not want to be anyone's son.

Of course, the reason why Li Zhi was able to fool this group of ancient royals was that they had been sealed for millions of years and their brains had not yet come to their senses.

It is also related to the three extra mysterious runes on Li Zhi’s golden dragon.

As the number of runes in the Golden Dragon's body increased to six, the Golden Dragon became more and more agile.

The three magical powers were born again.

At the same time, his deception skills were further sublimated, and his words were even more convincing, as if these three magical powers were specially prepared for deception.

Those three runes were not methods of fighting, but methods of changing size, the art of hiding and stealth, and the method of sensing everything.

Just as Cao Mengde said: A dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; when it is big, it can create clouds and fog, and when it is small, it can hide its shape; when it rises, it soars into the universe, and when it hides, it lurks in the waves; the dragon rides on the changes of time to know the rotation of the four seasons, and rides on the changes of things to measure all the spirits in heaven and earth.

When Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande discussed heroes over wine, it was so exciting that it was natural for people to think that "the only heroes in the world are you and Cao."

Now, after Li Zhi's golden dragon had undergone the triple magical transformation, and Li Zhi had told some true lies, his identity as the heir of the ancient emperor was further confirmed.

The only thing that made Li Zhi somewhat unwilling was that after trying to communicate with the True Dragon Divine Medicine for half a year, he did not receive any response from the Divine Medicine.

It neither allowed Li Zhi to touch it nor to use his spiritual sense to observe its internal structure.

Not to mention extracting some of the magical medicine essence from it.

He also asked the people from Wanlongchao, and they also said there was no solution.

It was as if the ruthless emperor really only allowed Ye Fan to take advantage of the True Dragon Immortality Elixir.

Seeing that his physical body had reached an extreme state and could not be further improved without a great breakthrough, he felt that the dragon energy in the dragon cave where the Ancestral King was in seclusion could no longer allow his golden dragon to grow.

Li Zhi planned to enter the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

However, the golden creature that often followed Li Zhi had a limited status and was not qualified to lead Li Zhi into the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

Fortunately, the royal boy with three eyes also became Li Zhi's follower.

He brought Li Zhi to the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

Along the way, Li Zhi saw the other two coffins placed here by the Henren Emperor. They all exuded an absolute murderous aura and were all buried by large pieces of divine source.

Li Zhi didn't dare to get close to the two coffins, for fear that they would be shattered by the astonishing murderous intent.

Before this, he had only been training his body near the outermost coffin where the True Dragon Immortality Elixir was rooted. Although the murderous intent there was fierce, it was not too deadly.

At least the ancient king who was sealed by the divine source is still alive, staying well in the pile of divine source next to the coffin.

However, there was no living ancestor king near the second and third coffins placed in other dragon caves deep in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

Among those broken blocks of divine source, many had human-shaped dents on them, as if the existence that was once sealed inside had been annihilated by the murderous intent emanating from the ancient coffin.

After asking, Li Zhi got the affirmation from the three-eyed boy.

It was indeed annihilated by the murderous intent.

His father even woke up once specifically for this reason and solemnly warned him not to approach those ancient coffins, otherwise he would be killed.

After bypassing the dragon cave where the second and third coffins were located, Li Zhi and the three-eyed boy came to the central fairyland of the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.

There are nine ancient dragon-shaped caves that are who knows how many miles long. Their tails are facing outwards, while their heads are pointing towards this central fairyland.

And from the cave entrance, torrential dragon energy continuously spewed into this central fairyland.

The dark golden dragon energy enveloped the entire central fairyland in golden mist, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Li Zhi opened his divine eyes and vaguely saw a dead forest in the dark golden ocean of dragon energy.

The ancient trees were tall and straight, with trunks that could not be hugged by dozens of people. The bark was covered with a layer of dragon scales, and the black branches were twisted like little dragons growing on the trees. They were dragon trees, which were said to be divine objects used by real dragons to build nests. There was actually a dragon tree forest growing here.

How strong was the dragon energy in this place in the past to nourish such a huge dragon wood forest?

Passing through the dead dragonwood forest and continuing to walk inside, Li Zhi saw a huge nest made entirely of dragonwood branches.

The dragon's nest is as tall as a mountain. Thousands of dragon trees seem to be built together in a very messy way, forming the tall dragon's nest in front of you.

But if you look closely, you will find that in the seemingly messy dragon's nest, the position of each dragon wood is fixed according to mysterious mechanical characteristics, and the position is just right.

It seemed like an extremely sophisticated way of setting up the formation.

In the cracks of the huge dragon's nest, there are tens of thousands of big dragons roaming around in the nest, all of them are formed by dragon energy.

The dragon energy in every big dragon seemed to be sublimated dragon energy, with extremely high quality, just like the huge difference between pure source and divine source.

Although so many giant dragons formed from dragon energy were swimming in the dragon's nest, they did not make the slightest sound, and not even a single giant dragon formed from dragon energy showed any intelligence.

A depressing and mysterious atmosphere emanated from the dragon's nest.

After seeing the dragon's nest, the three-eyed boy who followed Li Zhi said to him: "Your Highness, my father warned me that this dragon's nest is no longer as sacred as it was in ancient times. You must not step into it, otherwise you will bring about a fatal disaster."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I know what's inside, and I won't go into the dragon's nest. It's the same when practicing outside the dragon's nest. The quality of the dragon energy here is excellent. You can practice here with me."

When the young man heard that he could practice under Li Zhi, a hint of excitement immediately appeared on his face.

It’s like doing something big with my idol.

The dragon's nest here is very dangerous. Although the quality of the dragon energy is excellent, even the ancestral kings dare not come here to absorb the dragon energy.

Because as long as you get within three miles of the ancient nest, all your divine powers will be stripped away and you will become a mortal without any magical powers.

The dragon's nest contains an unparalleled murderous intent that can release chaotic sword energy and easily break through the ancestor king's body.

Afterwards, the two continued forward and finally arrived at the edge of the dragon's nest. Their divine powers were indeed completely stripped away, but the dragon energy was much more surging than in other places.

The young man followed Li Zhi excitedly, as if he had never been here to practice before.

After circling the dragon's nest once, Li Zhi had an idea of ​​what was going on.

Afterwards, it entered a dragon cave nearby and transformed into a six-meter-long golden dragon.

Upon seeing this, the young man also changed his true form, transforming into a giant purple dragon more than ten meters long.

Compared with the golden dragon that Li Zhi transformed into, which was almost exactly the same as a real dragon, the purple dragon that the boy transformed into looked a little ugly.

The three eyes on the ferocious head of the purple dragon were all staring at Li Zhi's almost perfect figure. Looking at the golden dragon body whose shape was almost no different from the dragon fruit grown on the real dragon elixir, there was a deep envy in his eyes.

Afterwards, Li Zhi took off into the air and flew into the ocean of dragon energy.

When they reached the edge of the dragon's nest, even though Li Zhi had transformed into a dragon, he was still unable to fly and could only walk around the dragon's nest on the ground.

As he walked, he suddenly saw a giant dragon transformed from dragon energy rushing out from the gap in the nest. Li Zhi simply opened his mouth and sucked the giant dragon transformed from dragon energy into his stomach.

The purple dragon transformed by the young man also wanted to learn from Li Zhi and absorb the dragon energy from the dragon's nest, but he tried dozens of times and never succeeded once.

Finally, Li Zhi shared half of the dragon energy dragon with him, and the boy finally tasted the deliciousness of high-quality dragon energy. Afterwards, he felt like he was full and had an urge to sleep.

Seeing this, Li Zhi said, "You don't have to accompany me, go back and practice."

"Thank you, Your Highness." After the young man turned into a human form again, he said to Li Zhi with a tired face, and then hurried away.

It seemed as if it was about to fall into a deep sleep in order to refine that half of the giant dragon's energy.

The quality of the dragon energy on the dragon's nest is indeed extremely high.

Li Zhi felt a bloating in his body after swallowing just nine giant dragons transformed from dragon energy, as if his body would be burst if he ate any more.

Then, he entered a real dragon cave and began to digest the dragon energy.

After some of the dragon energy was digested, he went to the dead dragon wood forest to cut down some dragon wood, and built a mysterious dragon nest in the shape of the Chaos Dragon's Nest.

From time to time, capture a dragon energy from the dragon nest and lock it in the mini dragon nest.

I don’t know how many days passed, but Li Zhi imprisoned ninety-nine giant dragons transformed from dragon energy in the mini dragon nest.

Then Li Zhi placed the mini dragon nest directly next to the chaos dragon nest, and then turned into a six-foot-long golden dragon and lay in it.

Sure enough, there was a completely different feeling.

Lying in the mini dragon nest and gaining enlightenment, the dragon energy in the central fairyland continued to gather into the dragon nest. No matter how much he consumed, he could replenish it from the outside.

At the same time, Li Zhi also fell into a state of divine enlightenment and sleep, and his mind and consciousness entered a mysterious world.

It was as if we had returned to the ancient immortal era, a time when real dragons roamed the world.

A golden dragon was born from the wilderness, then walked out of the wilderness and began to fight with all races. Finally, after beheading all enemies from the thirty-three heavens, it became an immortal.

Then the golden dragon went up against the sky, brave and invincible. After defeating one powerful immortal after another, it finally leaped up and turned into an invincible immortal king, and earned the name of a true dragon.

Finally, he turned into an invincible immortal king, overlooking the changing eras.

At the same time, in the chaotic dragon nest obscured by massive dragon energy, a mysterious existence sensed Li Zhi's thoughts.

Silently, a mysterious eye formed by dragon energy suddenly appeared above the mini dragon's nest, quietly observing the changes in the mini golden dragon transformed by Li Zhi.

That mysterious eye stared at Li Zhi for a long time.

He even witnessed with his own eyes that the mini dragon transformed by Li Zhi continued to grow in his sleep, from six feet in length to seven feet, eight feet, and finally to nine feet.

The mysterious eye formed by dragon energy disappeared.

After the golden dragon in the mini dragon's nest grew to nine feet, it seemed to stop growing. At the same time, three mysterious runes appeared on the golden dragon's head, claws, and neck.

At this point, nine mysterious runes covered the entire golden dragon from head to tail.

And during his sleep, the nine mysterious runes seemed to grow rapidly, emitting a mysterious aura of the Tao.

It seems that there is a real dragon's aura brewing in his body.

The nine mysterious runes gradually extinguished and then were born again, as if experiencing reincarnation again and again.

If anyone could open the golden dragon's eyes at this time, they would find that a mysterious Taoist picture appeared in each of its eyes.

The left eye is a diagram of the word "nothing", and the right eye is a diagram of the word "quantity".

It is because of these two Taoist diagrams that the nine runes on the Golden Dragon's body are constantly appearing and disappearing, and becoming increasingly complex.

It was as if it was really evolving the true dragon magic from the ancient times.

Suddenly one day, the nine runes seemed to have evolved to their limit, and suddenly burst into an intense golden light.

"Ao!" A dragon roar that seemed to be able to shock the past and present suddenly burst out from the throat of the sleeping golden dragon, causing huge waves in the dark golden ocean of dragon energy.

The dragon energy in the central fairyland seemed to be frightened and began to converge rapidly towards the chaotic dragon nest.

Soon, within this central fairyland space, there was no longer a trace of excess dragon energy in the air, as if all of it had entered the Chaos Dragon's Nest.

Next to the Chaos Dragon's Nest, the mini dragon transformed by Li Zhi was lying in a mini dragon's nest of three meters in radius. He did not wake up, as if his mind was still fighting in the mysterious unknown world.

After transforming into a golden dragon, Li Zhi seemed to have acquired the habits of a dragon. He would take a nap every time after eating.

The ninety-nine little dragons formed by the dragon energy also covered the mini dragon's nest, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly one day, the voice of the three-eyed boy came from the entrance of the cave in the central fairyland: "His Highness the Golden Dragon is practicing in there, don't act rashly. If you disturb His Highness's practice, you will not be able to bear the consequences even if you are the descendants of gods."
