40: Bibo Pool Invitation

"Spirit Descending Sword Flood Dragon Transformation?"

Li Jiangchen sensed the Sword Flood Dragon light cluster forming in his mind, and countless profound mysteries surged into his heart.

After a few breaths, he opened his eyes. With a thought, dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, his flesh and bones rapidly grew, dragon scales appeared on his skin, and an immensely powerful Qi surged from his limbs and Meridians.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a three-zhang Dragon-Human.

"It's actually a Body Refining transformation Daoist Magic."

"Moreover, it can convert physical strength into Sword Qi, amplifying the power of sword moves."

"Furthermore, the more Demon essence blood absorbed, the stronger this transformation's amplification becomes."

Demon essence blood—isn't this Flood Dragon body right in front of him exactly that?

In the Demon Kingdom scroll, a wisp of the Flood Dragon's remnant soul wailed and was swallowed by the black mist.

The next moment, Ancient Spirit appeared riding the mountain-like Fenghu remnant soul. Fenghu split open a gap, extended its long, tooth-filled tongue, and coiled the Flood Dragon's remnant body into its belly. With a series of crunching sounds, the Flood Dragon's flesh and blood transformed into a mass of pure blood Qi.

Whoosh—

Ten drops of Flood Dragon essence blood floated out of Fenghu's mouth and landed in Li Jiangchen's palm.

With the Demon Kingdom's soul extraction and Fenghu's refining of Demon essence blood, not an ounce was wasted.

"Congratulations, Master, for slaying an Alien Sword Flood Dragon," Ancient Spirit clapped and said.

" Alien?"

"Indeed. Ordinary Flood Dragons can ascend to the heavens and descend into the seas, and their Dao path naturally lies in the wind, water, and fire lineage.

However, some Flood Dragons undergo mutations, such as this Sword Flood Dragon, whose every inch of its body is permeated by Sword Qi, making it excellent material for forging swords." As she spoke, Ancient Spirit patted the Fenghu remnant soul beneath her. Its long tongue extended, revealing undigested dragon horns, scales, and bones.

Immediately after, she waved her hand, and the Willow Tree Demon transformed into a wooden Dragon, swimming over and swallowing these dragon horns, scales, and bones.

"After Master's demon slaying sword absorbs these Materials, it should be able to Break through to a High Grade Magical Artifact." Ancient Spirit suddenly thought of something, then abruptly burrowed into Fenghu's mouth, fumbling around.

A few breaths later, she crawled out, holding a gilded letter in her hand.

"Oh, and this too."

"What is this?" Li Jiangchen reached out and took it, reading it word for word: "Green Wave Pool Auction Invitation."

The aura of a Flood Dragon faintly emanated from it. If one were to tear it with brute force, the invitation would self-destruct.

Li Jiangchen pondered for a moment, then scales appeared on his body, transforming him into a half-human, half-Dragon Sword Flood Dragon.

Immediately, the letter sensed his aura and unfolded itself, revealing ancient seal characters.

"Green Wave Pool... Dragon Lord... Auction."

After a few breaths, the letter closed.

"So it's a Demon auction hosted by the Green Wave Pool Dragon Lord." Li Jiangchen's gaze shifted.

It turned out that Daoist Master Taohua was a direct relative of the Green Wave Pool Dragon Lord, secretly using the Taohua Sect to gather Human Race women in Human Race cities as blood food.

The letter described how to get to the Green Wave Pool.

Li Jiangchen was somewhat moved. If he could slay a few Demon Lords at the Quenching Fiend Realm level, he would gain a large amount of Demon cultivation.

At this moment, he still had many Meridians and acupoints that had not yet been opened.

If he was lucky, he might even obtain some High Grade Daoist Magic, and after Fusion, refine another Peerless Grade Daoist Magic.

"There are many benefits to this trip; it could be considered an Opportunity."

Li Jiangchen made up his mind.

A moment later, he returned to outside the city.

At this moment, the three Elders of the Wang Family had been devoured by Daoist Master Taohua, losing all Aperture Opening Realm combat strength. They were quickly suppressed by Old Matriarch Xue Ning and all submitted.

"Congratulations, Old Matriarch, on your return to the main branch of the Wang Family today." Li Jiangchen understood clearly that without the three Aperture Opening Realm Elders, even if the Wang Family members were unwilling, they would proactively welcome Old Matriarch Xue Ning to take charge of the main branch.

After all, she was the only Aperture Opening Realm combat strength, and with the Spiritual Artifact golden buddha in hand, given time, she could restore the Wang Family to a first-rate force.

"Thank you, Lord Li, for your help today. Otherwise, my lineage would have perished here," Old Matriarch Xue Ning thanked him.

"That's excellent. With the Old Matriarch overseeing the Wang Family, the Wang Family's assets can also be preserved, and General Wang Cai's lineage can be strengthened in the future."

Now that the Wang Family members had submitted, there was naturally no longer any reason to relocate to the Demon Suppression Division. However, just as Li Jiangchen was about to leave, Wang Ying called out to him.

"Brother Wang, is something the matter?"

Wang Ying looked a bit embarrassed, then pointed to Wang Yuling beside him: "You tell him yourself."

Wang Yuling's beautiful eyes flickered, and she shyly said, "Big Brother Li, can I leave with you? I want to join the Demon Suppression Division."

"The Demon Suppression Division is always on the front lines of demon slaying, which is extremely dangerous. Taking you to the Demon Suppression Division was a way to escape earlier.

Now, your lineage has regained control of the Wang Family, so you won't lack cultivation resources. The treatment in both places is vastly different.

Have you thought it through? Do you truly not regret it?"

Wang Yuling met Li Jiangchen's gaze, her eyes innocent yet firm: "No regrets. I also want to be like Big Brother Li, practice martial arts, and slay Demons."

"Good. I'll take you."

Several days later.

Demon Suppression Division.

"When you wear the Demon Suppression Division's mysterious armor, you really look the part." Li Jiangchen looked at Wang Yuling in front of him, clad in mysterious armor, exuding both charm and heroism, like a female general.

"Thanks to Big Brother Li's help, I was able to join the Demon Suppression Division.

Just now, I selected a Cultivation Technique called 'Veiled Moon Art' from Senior who imparts techniques. According to him, the creator of this Cultivation Technique was the 'Violet Profound Maiden' who possessed a Charming Physique, which is compatible with my Physique, allowing for extremely fast cultivation.

In a while, Yuling will be able to go to the front lines to slay Demons, just like Big Brother Li."

Wang Yuling's beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke sweetly.

"Haha, I hope our Demon Suppression Division will produce a female general in the future."

After a conversation, Li Jiangchen turned to leave. Wang Yuling's beautiful eyes gazed at his departing back, her expression filled with reluctance.

Several days later.

Peach Blossom Waterside Pavilion.

At this moment, the entire Peach Blossom Sect, with Daoist Master Taohua's demonic identity exposed and his subsequent death, had long since fallen apart like a tree losing its monkeys.

Even the Peach Blossom Sect Master was secretly killed by the forces of Dingyuan City, and several aristocratic Families and Schools divided up the entire Peach Blossom Sect.

This Peach Blossom Waterside Pavilion, where Daoist Master Taohua once resided, had also fallen into disrepair and chaos.

"This is the place."

Li Jiangchen looked at the emerald green pool in front of a rockery.

The next moment, he darted forward, plunged into the pool, and submerged himself.

Dozens of breaths later, a strong undercurrent suddenly emerged, enveloping him and pulling him deeper.

"Indeed, this is the undercurrent passage to the Green Wave Pool Crystal Cave, as mentioned in the letter."

Dragon scales appeared on Li Jiangchen's body, transforming him into a half-human, half-Dragon form.

Although he didn't possess water-element Daoist Magic, a Flood Dragon is naturally capable of controlling water. Now that he had transformed into a Sword Flood Dragon, not only did the heavy water pressure become negligible, but he could also breathe underwater.

The underwater was dim. After about three hours, a jade-like Crystal Palace suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The plaque above the palace bore the three characters: Crystal Palace.

Boom—

The water receded, and Li Jiangchen landed in front of the palace. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals at the entrance were about to stop him, but they were intimidated by the Flood Dragon's aura beside him and quickly retreated.

Stepping inside, the walls and floor were all paved with jade crystals, making it incredibly luxurious.

'This Demon certainly knows how to enjoy himself.'

Just then, there was movement from behind. A Dragon Demon with a dragon head and magnificent robes walked proudly, surrounded by attendants, with a green cloud canopy hovering above his head.
