With the ample supply of the Heavenly Brahma Precious Liquid and Dragon Blood.

The body of the Potato Flood Dragon gradually changed, although it was still a Wood type Spirit Plant, it indeed had the embryonic form of flesh and blood—the Profound Crystal Potato Flood Dragon Algae also grew larger, almost resembling a translucent dragon egg.

The young dragon inside awaited a chance to break through its shell.

The dark clouds that had dispersed returned in the sky, this time splitting into countless small tribulation clouds, watching this place menacingly.

Time passed slowly.

The anomaly happening here was so conspicuous and sustained for such a prolonged period that cultivators, gathering in groups, set up palaces just outside the range of the Celestial Tribulation, sitting down to drink tea and discuss Dao.

The Four Seasons Sect sent dozens of Nascent Soul True Men and three Deities in Divinity Transformation to guard within the array high above, fearing any unforeseen incidents.

And the cultivators on Ruoquan Island had long stopped cultivating, simply waiting to see what else might happen.

Truly an event that drew all eyes.

It was under the gaze of everyone.

That first emerged were small dragons in the form of Primordial Spirit Plants, breaking out from the Profound Crystal Potato Flood Dragon Algae, formed from pure Spiritual Qi.

Each dragon was only about ten feet long, small and adorable even, but upon appearing, they could control the surrounding Spiritual Qi, rising into the air together to meet the Tribulation Thunder.

Strangely, although the thunder struck them, what fell was neither flesh nor dragon scales, but a peculiar, charred-scented... dust.

The dust seemed endless.

Amazingly resisting the terrifying Thunder Tribulation.

The cultivators looked at each other:

"Ah?"

"Potato powder?"

"This Spirit Plant is already a Primordial Spirit Plant; as long as its core is undamaged and Spiritual Qi is sufficient, it can regenerate indefinitely."

Cizhu watched the potato powder falling all around, hands clasped, eyes full of surprise:

"I thought it was that Golden Red Dragon Carp, but it turned out to be this?"

"... Brother Li, there should be this in the grain you gave me, right?"

At this time.

Beside the Transformation Pond.

Ao Kong reached out and grabbed a handful of potato powder, put it in his mouth, and chewed, his expression strange: "Mm... there's indeed a hint of Dragon Blood essence in here."

For the Dragon Clan, a race full of vitality, shedding some blood wasn't harmful; they would even purposely shed some less important blood to nourish their own Aquatic Race.

This not only strengthened the Aquatic Race but also allowed them to obtain items they couldn't produce themselves, otherwise, even the highest grade Grotto Heaven like the Suspended Sea Cave Heaven couldn't support thousands of dragons indulging without restraint.

This Divinity Transformation dragon was very satisfied, nodding.

He then glanced at the Potato Flood Dragon still accumulating power, its surface showing cracks like ice due to the excessive power accumulation.

He had no understanding of this entirely new Spirit Plant, so he could only ask Li Ye: "Why doesn't this guy leave the Transformation Pond? The Celestial Tribulation is getting stronger!"

Li Ye glanced at the state of the Potato Flood Dragon.

Silently musing for a moment: "It... never mind, senior, you'll know in a while."

His tone carried a rare trace of sighing and puzzlement.

Ao Kong seemed to sense something.

A man and a dragon just waited in place, waiting for the giant dragon in the Transformation Pond to truly emerge, its branches and leaves flickering with a brilliance as bright as daylight amidst its verdant "body."

Finally.

Several days later.

The giant dragon transformed from the Potato Flood Dragon flew out silently, heading skyward, with no spiritual power shielding its body, struck hard by a thunderbolt from the heavens.

"Crack~"

The body shattered instantly.

Then followed by several more bolts of Celestial Lightning, the already cracking Potato Flood Dragon was utterly ruined, with its blood and flesh falling in large quantities into the seawater along with the tribulation.

The vast sea seemed to be dyed with a deep, magnificent color belonging to Dragon Blood and fragmented flesh turned to mud.

"This...!"

"Why did it fail the tribulation?"

"Look at those blood and flesh."

The cultivators observing this and Ao Kong suddenly noticed the fragments of flesh that had fallen into the sea.

These fragments sprouted roots and grew quickly, new branches and leaves expanding rapidly, forming into another lush Potato Flood Dragon, even more abundant than before.

It stood silently rooted on the sea floor, surrounded by a faint yet distinctly real halo resembling Buddha's Light.

The little dragons of the Profound Crystal Potato Flood Dragon Algae, which had already passed through the Thunder Tribulation, surged over, spewing their own spiritual power around the new Potato Flood Dragon as if catalyzing something.

The new Potato Flood Dragon didn't transform into a dragon's form and was, in fact, still quite far from the original "Flood Dragon," but the spiritual energy it emitted possessed the peculiar Dragon Qi capable of aiding the Aquatic Race in transformation.

From afar, it appeared like a massive dragon traversing the sea floor, attracting countless aquatic creatures to approach, softly nibbling and consuming its "blood and flesh."

As if it had been through countless hardships just to be able to take root like this in the sea, its long-held wish finally fulfilled.

It seemed even...

"Very happy?"

Ao Kong perceived its thoughts, puzzled: "Why would it give up such an excellent opportunity to transform and take root in the sea, scattering all its power away?

Why is there Buddha's Light on it, did those bald monks intervene?"

After all, this is dragon transformation!

Once it passes the Celestial Tribulation, it would become a true dragon.

Even for the lowest level Dragon Clan, its future path would be smooth, far better than merely taking root in the sea?

Li Ye watched everything from start to finish, let out a gentle sigh, and replied:

"It wants to use its own flesh and Dragon Qi to nourish more aquatic beings, giving them a chance to transform into dragons. Once those it nourishes can transform, it will naturally become a dragon as well—I don't know where such thoughts came from."

Ao Kong frowned upon hearing this: "Where else could such thoughts come from, if not from those bald monks? It's made a great vow.

To transform the aquatic race along with it, paving a heavenly road with its own flesh and blood!

But aren't the sea creatures and aquatic race thousands upon thousands?

How could it transform all of them into dragons!

Truly foolish!"

Though his expression was unpleasant, he didn't seem angry, somewhat admiring yet regretful.

Li Ye could understand why he was so conflicted.

The displeasure was due to it giving up the chance to transform into a dragon, falling to the sea floor, and likely needing centuries or even millennia for another chance.

The admiration was because if it could truly fulfill its vow and transform into a dragon through this method, the Dragon Clan's Qi Fortune would certainly benefit.

Dragons, as leaders of the aquatic beings, innately have the responsibility to assist their transformation and evolution.

"Sigh."

"...Uh?"

"Ah!?"

Just as Ao Kong was about to say something.

He suddenly saw a river beside Li Ye carrying a heap of Potato Flood Dragons, Profound Crystal Potato Flood Dragon Algae, and eager Golden Red Dragon Carps, Water Spirits, Profound Water Flood Dragons, and Spirit Water Phoenix Eye Lotuses...

These were all handpicked by Li Ye, possessing the potential for dragon transformation.

This almost made Ao Kong's eyes pop out, thinking it was only a couple of special Spirit Plants or Spirit Beasts.

He heard Li Ye's gentle, jade-like voice:

"No rush, senior Ao Kong."

"This is just part of those with dragon transformation potential in my Cave Mansion; some haven't been sent over yet."

"Did senior not say that no matter how many can transform into dragons, it's not a jibe at this junior, right?"

Ao Kong: "..."

Looking at the crowded Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts, he couldn't possibly say he couldn't do it.

On the contrary.

He was quite happy.

So happy that his arms even hurt a bit.

——Spirit Stones are a minor issue, but how much Dragon Blood would this take!

No, I must call over the young ones from my clan as well!
