Jumping over the Dragon Gate isn't so easy.
Temperament, rank, talent, bloodline, cultivation method, and even luck are all very important.
A slight error can lead to a huge loss.
Grandpa Longsan swam seven-tenths of the way through the Dragon Spring Waterfall before being electrocuted by the intense electric currents in the water and falling down.
When the old dragon returned to the middle section, it was blasted away by the giant waves churning up from the waterfall, plummeting straight down from thousands of feet in the sky.
Huo Die flew over quickly, used his divine power to support the falling black dragon, and brought it safely back to the edge of the pool.
The black dragon lay on the ground catching its breath for a moment, then transformed back into its cultivator form: "Thank you, Brother Huo, I almost lost half my life!"
Huo Die casually replied, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."
A stone tablet rises abruptly from the ground beside the pool, with three golden characters engraved on the top: 'Dragon Ascension Tablet'.
The inscription on the monument also bears a line of gold characters: 'Top of the list: Long Yuhua, 7,100 zhang.'
Grandpa Long San shook his head and sighed, "Alas, even as a demon lord, I only managed to reach 7,100 feet. It's so difficult for the younger generation of the Long family to transform from a dragon into a serpent and defy fate!"
Huo Die comforted him, "There is still hope."
Grandpa Long looked up at the sky and saw that the salted fish and the seawood had become two dots on the sky waterfall.
They are still striving to swim upstream.
Grandpa Long San repeated, "Yes, there is still hope."
When the salted fish reached one-third of the way to the Heavenly Waterfall, it simply couldn't swim any further.
Exhausted, she was swept back by the waterfall.
Hai Mu quickly swam to her side, cradled the slippery koi in his arms, and flew away from the waterfall, returning to the edge of the pool.
Two new lines of text have appeared on the Denglong Stele.
Salted Fish: Three thousand two hundred feet.
'Haimu: Thirty-two hundred feet. '
Since the salted fish was unable to transform, Hai Mu thoughtfully put her into the pool water so that she could regain her strength in the water.
The salted fish, while soaking in the Dragon Pool, awakened a new spiritual root...
She felt a tingling sensation all over her body. As she regained some strength and prepared to transform, her whole body emitted blue-purple lightning, awakening her lightning spiritual root and upgrading it to a mid-grade sixth-level five spiritual root.
"Excellent, excellent!" Huo Die exclaimed, "Yu Yu, from now on, cultivating under the waterfall every day will be beneficial for your spiritual root to advance in rank."
Salty Fish was overjoyed; she had finally leveled up and become a bit stronger.
She encouraged Haimu to try again: "I can't get through this for now, but you might be able to. Try again."
Hai Mu nodded and prepared to try again.
Huo Die reminded them, "You can only go once a year. You can only go again this time next year."
He pointed to the Denglong Stele: "The rules are written on the back of the stele."
Grandpa Long has already seen it.
Salty Fish pulled Seawood around to look behind the stone tablet.
Sure enough, the "Longmen Challenge Rules" were written behind the stone tablet.
"First, the Path to Dragon Ascension is only open to those who inherit the Dragon Vein."
"Second, each time you enter the Dragon Ascent Path, you must start swimming from the starting point."
"Third, each inheritor has only one opportunity to take on the challenge each year."
"Fourth, you can use spirit treasures to assist you during the challenge."
"Fifth, the path to the Dragon is fraught with danger, and challengers are responsible for their own lives."
"Sixth, challengers are prohibited from fighting each other."
……
The following is a string of ellipses, suggesting that new rules may be updated in the future.
Hai Mu read the first rule aloud again: "Only those who inherit the dragon vein are allowed to enter... Does that mean we mermaids also belong to the dragon vein?"
Huo Die explained, "No, you can take on the challenge because you've formed a pact with Yu Yu."
"Husband and wife are one. When you two are bound together and your bloodlines are intertwined, you will also have the bloodline of the Azure Dragon."
Haimu made a fortune.
He excitedly picked up the salted fish and lifted it high in the air: "Wife, thank you."
Salted fish is his goddess.
Shen Yao, who was meditating under the waterfall, had some impurities appear on her skin, which were quickly washed away by the waterfall.
She flew out of the waterfall, feeling refreshed and lighter than before.
Tu Xiaoxiao felt the same way when she came out.
Ameng and Alu were at the edge of the waterfall, with black mud constantly oozing from their bodies. It took a long time for the mud to be washed away.
When the two brothers came out of the waterfall, their skin was much fairer.
Everyone else came out of the waterfall, but Feng Yu was still inside.
Shen Yao watched from afar, thinking to herself that her jade-carved husband was indeed incomparably beautiful. No matter how the waterfall washed over his face, he remained as perfect as a jade sculpture.
As she was thinking this, black mud started appearing on Feng Yu's face...
amount……
Even a handsome man as refined as jade has impurities within him.
Perhaps due to excessive indulgence in desires, there was still a considerable amount of impurity within him.
More and more black mud was gushing out, and it didn't seem to decrease as it was washed away by the waterfall.
The black mud on his body gushed out for a full quarter of an hour before it was finally washed away.
He flew out of the waterfall, returned to the pool, and landed in front of Shen Yao.
Shen Yao stared at him without blinking.
Wow, my husband's skin looks even better.
He seemed to be glowing.
Feng Yu's phoenix eyes were clear: "Yan Zhou, in the waterfall, I seem to have seen the phoenix you once spoke of."
Shen Yao's phoenix eyes sparkled: "Really? What did the phoenix you saw look like?"
Feng Yu described it as: "White, with a crest on its head, two pairs of wings, and eight very long tail feathers."
Huo Die used golden light to draw a simple phoenix shape in the air: "Is this it?"
Feng Yu confirmed, "Yes, I also heard a phoenix's cry."
He had never heard a phoenix cry before, but when he heard it from the waterfall, he instinctively knew it was the sound of a phoenix.
Shen Yao said happily, "Yunhe, I knew the Long family was very similar to yours. The bloodline is stable, and none of the direct descendants have a bloodline lower than five spiritual roots. Phoenix, wind, how similar they are! Maybe your Feng family has the bloodline of the phoenix."
Feng Yu said, "But we are immortal cultivators, not demons, and we cannot transform into human form."
Shen Yao had thought about this issue before: "Phoenixes are divine beasts, but their bloodline is not necessarily passed down only to demons. The bloodline of divine beasts is inherited regardless of race."
Huo Die agreed: "Indeed, in some planes, humans can also inherit the bloodline of divine beasts."
It's quite normal for cultivators with spiritual roots, who are essentially higher-level humans, to inherit the bloodline of divine beasts.
Shen Yao thought of a reason: "Perhaps a phoenix once transformed into human form and came here to mate with your Feng family ancestor. The direct descendants of the Feng family are all their offspring."
That makes sense.
Feng Yu didn't dwell on this. Koi and dragons could leap over the Dragon Gate, but he couldn't leap over the Phoenix Gate to become a phoenix.
Where in the world is there a Phoenix Gate?
The appearance of the Dragon Gate and Dragon Waterfall at the bottom of Longquan Cliff was such a big commotion that Gou Yue and Ning Yuan naturally noticed it.
The disciples stationed at Jinli Residence also sent them a message.
When Feng Yu emerged from the waterfall, Gou Yue and Ning Yuan had just arrived at the bottom of the cliff.
Their arrival was timely; the Long family cultivators would inevitably come to challenge the Dragon Gate, so it was a good opportunity to discuss the issue of ownership.
The Dragon Token was left to the Dragon family by the true god, and now it has been obtained by Shen Yao's family.
The dragon plaque was awakened by the blood of a salted fish.
However, the location of Longmen is at the bottom of Longquan Cliff.
After discussion among the three parties, it was agreed that Longmen would be jointly owned by all three.
Cultivators with the bloodline of the divine dragon can challenge the Dragon Gate Jump for free.
Other cultivators need the consent of Shen Yao, Gou Yue, or Grandpa Long San before they can enter the Dragon Pool to cleanse their marrow and tendons.
Due to limited space in the Dragon Pool, and to avoid unnecessary disputes, only one hundred people are allowed to enter each day, and only ten cultivators are permitted to enter at any one time.
In practice, the rules will be adjusted according to the actual situation.
The cultivators who challenged the Dragon Gate were mainly from the Long family, and the arrangements were made by Grandpa Long San when he returned.
With everything agreed upon, Gou Yue and Ning Yuan flew to the foot of the waterfall and began their marrow cleansing and tendon-strengthening process...
The immortal, demon, and monster races have been fighting for tens of thousands of years. Now that they can join hands and grow stronger together, Shen Yao is very gratified.
Her thinking wasn't entirely naive; if two of the tribes weren't wiped out, the three tribes could still get along well.
As long as there are common interests and common goals, even the biggest rifts can be dissolved.
She pondered silently how to ensure that the immortal, demon, and monster races would always share a common goal...
