52: Chapter 52: What to do if you accidentally drink the entire Dragon Transformation Pool? I need help urgently!

Feeling the majestic and pure True Dragon Qi within his body, Ling Tian proudly flicked his tail and looked at the giant Dragon face in the air.

"Now, can you take me to the Dragon Transformation Pool?"

The True Dragon Will fell silent.

The expression on the Dragon face was extremely colorful, mixed with shock, bewilderment, and a trace of collapse.

It was roaring internally.

This thing didn't look like it had any Dragon Clan Bloodline from any angle!

If one had to say it resembled something, it was only slightly related to those winged dragons in Western legends!

But right now, the Qi on this guy couldn't be fake!

Although it lacked the majesty of a pure-blooded True Dragon, it wasn't far off.

So, it had absolutely no reason to refuse Ling Tian's request now.

"...Fine."

The True Dragon Will's voice trembled slightly.

"But! You must promise! Inside the Dragon Transformation Pool, you absolutely! Absolutely must not eat anything!"

It stared fixedly at Ling Tian, emphasizing its words.

This glutton had truly scared it; the Dragon Transformation Pool was not like the Dragon Ascending Ladder.

It didn't matter if a few steps of the Dragon Ascending Ladder were eaten; at worst, the next candidates would just start from the fifth step.

Ling Tian nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I promise, I absolutely will not eat anything!"

The True Dragon Will breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned to lead the way.

But just as it turned around, before it had taken a single step, it suddenly spun back around!

"Wait!!"

"You also cannot drink anything!!"

"In short! You cannot let anything from the Dragon Transformation Pool enter your stomach! Not even a drop!!"

Upon hearing this, an extremely difficult expression appeared on Ling Tian's face.

"Ah, this..."

He rubbed his claws, his eyes shifting evasively.

When the True Dragon Will saw this expression, its heart skipped a beat, and it secretly thought: 'As expected!'

You damn thing, you aren't planning to eat, you're planning to drink the entire Dragon Transformation Pool dry, aren't you?!

It was so angry that its dragon whiskers were trembling!

"You... you swear! Swear the most vicious oath!"

Ling Tian sighed helplessly, shook his head, and seemed to make a difficult decision.

He raised a claw, pointed at the sky, and conveyed a solemn thought:

"I swear!"

"If I swallow anything after entering the Dragon Transformation Pool..."

He paused, then said resonantly: "I will acknowledge you as my father! Okay?"

True Dragon Will: "???"

Acknowledge what? Acknowledge me as your father?

It was stunned for several seconds.

What kind of vicious oath is this?!

But looking at Ling Tian's sincere eyes and feeling the absurdly pure Dragon Clan Qi within the other party...

It held back for a long time, and finally squeezed one word out from between its teeth:

"...Fine!"

Xia Youchu, watching from the side as the True Dragon Will was tricked by Ling Tian, almost laughed out loud. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her shoulders shaking.

This silly creature...

Its ability to swindle people has actually improved.

Even the True Dragon Will got wrapped up in it.

"Let's go."

The True Dragon Will didn't want to look at Ling Tian again, fearing it might lose control and violate the rules to attack him.

With flowing light, a gate of light leading deeper into the ruins slowly opened.

...

On the other side, Cloud City, Xia Family Mansion.

"What?!"

Patriarch Xia Yuan abruptly stood up from his main seat, his Origin Qi surging uncontrollably, shattering the tea table beside him into powder!

His face was livid, his eyes filled with shock as he stared fixedly at the Pioneers Guild Chairman below, President Zhao Dehou.

"Youchu... took that War Beast and went deep into the wilderness to hunt down a Peak Yuanling Realm expert from the Myriad Beast Pavilion?!"

President Zhao Dehou, who was Chairman Zhao, wore a bitter smile, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

After an hour of intense internal struggle, he decided to take a huge risk and tell Patriarch Xia Yuan this news.

He really didn't think Xia Youchu and her War Beast could return alive from a pursuit by a Peak Yuanling Realm expert.

Most importantly, he truly appreciated this girl.

At first, like his daughter Zhao Mengmeng, he thought she was just a young lady from a large Family out to pad her resume.

But Xia Youchu slapped his face with her actions time and time again.

A junior with such good Heart-Nature and talent shouldn't die without a clear reason.

"Yes, Patriarch Xia. The last time I saw them, they were chasing the Ghost Scorpion into the depths of the wilderness..."

Patriarch Xia Yuan suppressed his surging blood, his voice as cold as a blade: "President Zhao! Why are you only telling me now?!"

President Zhao Dehou's old face flushed red, he stammered, and his eyes darted around.

Patriarch Xia Yuan was a man of his stature; he immediately sensed something was wrong and demanded sternly: "What exactly is going on?!"

Intimidated by his Aura, President Zhao Dehou finally gritted his teeth and took the plunge:

"It's Young Miss Xia... somehow, she actually found out about that book 'Young Woman Bai Jie' I kept in my study. She used it to threaten me, not letting me notify you immediately..."

Patriarch Xia Yuan: "!!!"

The rage on his face froze instantly, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

'Young Woman Bai Jie'?

Old Zhao, with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, you like this kind of thing too?

He coughed twice, forced himself to manage his expression, and complained with slight disdain:

"You old lecher!"

Immediately, he walked silently to the desk, seemingly unintentionally pulled open a drawer, and pressed his palm down.

A certain book, 'The Carnal Prayer Mat', in the drawer was instantly shattered into powder by Origin Qi.

Well, better safe than sorry.

"Let's go!"

Patriarch Xia Yuan stopped talking nonsense, his figure flickered, and he appeared in the courtyard.

"Leave the city immediately! Go to the wilderness to save them!"

President Zhao Dehou quickly followed, feeling a sense of relief in his heart, but also some worry.

The two turned into two streaks of light, rushed out of Cloud City without hesitation, and sped towards the dangerous depths of the wilderness.

Sigh, hopefully, it's not too late.

...

Just then, in another luxurious courtyard of the Xia Family.

"Hahaha! Good! Excellent!"

Xia Lingfeng looked at the large amount of cultivation resources originally allocated to Xia Youchu that his subordinates had just presented, along with the key to her quiet courtyard, his face filled with glee.

Beside him, the Emerald Spirit Sparrow chirped.

An Emerald-grade War Beast was the capital that allowed him to regain his confidence.

"That bitch Xia Youchu! And that damned monster of hers! They better have already died in the wilderness! Eaten by Yao Beasts until not even bones are left!" He laughed wildly, appearing insane.

"And Patriarch Xia Yuan! That biased old thing! When he returns and finds his precious daughter is gone, let's see how arrogant he can still be!"

"This Xia Family will sooner or later belong to my father and me!"

He grabbed those resources, stuffed them into his Storage Pouch, and then, holding the key, strode arrogantly toward the courtyard where Xia Youchu once lived.

He wanted to smash everything there! To completely erase the traces that belonged to Xia Youchu!

Meanwhile.

In the study of Great Elder Xia Mingyuan of the Xia Family.

A cold, sinister smile appeared on Great Elder Xia Mingyuan's face.

"Patriarch Xia Yuan, President Zhao Dehou. You actually dared to leave the city privately and go deep into the wilderness..."

"Heaven is truly helping me!"

He muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a vicious light.

"Since you are courting death yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

He quickly took out a black jade talisman and transmitted a thought into it.

"Target: Patriarch Xia Yuan, Patriarch of the Cloud City Xia Family, Yuan Wang Realm; Zhao Dehou, Chairman of the Cloud City Pioneers Guild, Peak Yuanling Realm."

"Location: Depths of the wilderness, tracking Xia Youchu and the Ghost Scorpion."

"Rare opportunity, send experts to intercept and kill immediately!"

The jade talisman turned into a streak of black light, escaped into the Void Realm, and disappeared.

Great Elder Xia Mingyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window, his face showing unconcealed ambition and ruthlessness.

"The Xia Family... is destined to move toward a new glory in my hands!"

"Anyone who blocks the way... must die!"

...

Deep in the True Dragon Ruins.

Passing through the light gate, everyone arrived at a huge underground cavern.

In the center of the cavern was a pool nearly one hundred meters in diameter.

The pool water presented a dreamy, seven-colored hue, with dense mist swirling, and within the mist, vast Dragon shadows seemed to be swimming.

An extremely pure Dragon Qi rushed toward them; taking a breath made one feel comfortable all over, with their cultivation growing faintly.

The Dragon Transformation Pool!

At the bottom of the pool, some bones emitting a pearly white light were vaguely visible; those were the Dragon bones left behind after generations of the Dragon Clan passed away, the core that maintained the energy of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

"This place is the Dragon Transformation Pool."

The True Dragon Will's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

"My Dragon Clan is born strong but struggles to reproduce; pure-blooded Dragon Clan are even rarer."

It began to recount some secrets of the Dragon Clan, both as an introduction and as a warning to Ling Tian not to mess around.

"To continue the species, the ancient Dragon Clan had to combine with other races... Over time, most of the Yao Beasts in the world have, to some extent, carried a trace of the Dragon Clan Bloodline."

"But this also led to the withering of the pure-blooded Dragon Clan."

"The Dragon Transformation Pool was created for this reason. It can purify Dragon blood, stimulate potential, and give descendants with Dragon Clan Bloodlines a chance to return to their ancestors and transform into the True Dragon Clan!"

"This is the unique way my Dragon Clan continues."

Its gaze fell on Ling Tian, carrying a trace of complex expectation.

Although this guy had a strange personality and weird abilities, since he possessed such pure Dragon Clan Qi and had now entered the Dragon Transformation Pool...

Perhaps, since ancient times, the first pure-blooded True Dragon was really about to be born here?

Thinking of this, the discomfort it felt due to Ling Tian's various behaviors seemed to lessen.

After all, it was for the future of the Dragon Clan.

It carefully sensed the Dragon Clan Qi in Ling Tian's body and increasingly felt it was pure and vast, with infinite potential.

It was exactly the same as the one emitted by that Dragon Pearl.

Well, it's settled.

There shouldn't be any problems this time.

It finally completely let its guard down and prepared to continue explaining the precautions for the Dragon Transformation Pool.

However...

Just at this moment when its mind was relaxed.

"Splash!!"

A huge sound of water splashing rang out!

Ling Tian, who had just glanced at the seven-colored pool water on the shore, dove in with a standard dive without hesitation!

Water splashed high into the air!

True Dragon Will: "!!!"

Its words came to an abrupt halt.

Wait! I haven't finished explaining the precautions yet!

You bastard, aren't you too impatient?!

It was just about to open its mouth to scold him.

But suddenly it heard...

"Burp~~~"

An incredibly loud burp came from the Dragon Transformation Pool.

The True Dragon Will turned its head abruptly and looked at the Dragon Transformation Pool.

And then...

It saw a scene that completely shattered its Dragon life's faith.

The Dragon Transformation Pool, which was just seven-colored and misty, bottomless...

Right now...

It was completely dried up!!

Those pearly white bones at the bottom of the pool that maintained the pool's energy...

Also... disappeared!!

And in the center of the dried-up pool, Ling Tian's massive body was lying there.

His belly was round and bulging, stretched tight.

He was still chewing on half a piece of Dragon bone that he hadn't managed to swallow yet.

"Crunch... crunch..."

The agonizing chewing sound echoed clearly in the silent cavern.

Ling Tian, while chewing on the hard Dragon bone, raised his head and looked at the True Dragon Will, who had completely petrified on the shore.

He conveyed a thought filled with apology:

"Uh... so..."

"If I say the bottom of the pool was too slippery, I accidentally tripped, and then accidentally drank the pool water dry..."

"Do you believe it?"
