Enter the Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 172: The Dragon Clan of Tianhe

This is the "ocean" made of clouds and fog. Dust permeates this environment with only weak gravity, neither falling nor moving away.

This "ocean" formed by dust and gas is not deep, only tens of thousands of feet. However, it is too wide - wide enough for the entire Shenzhou Houtu to roll on it. If you are on the sea, the vision of ordinary creatures cannot even reach the edge of the sea. There is no horizon here, and the end of the "ocean" is the starry sky.

This is Jupiter - the dragon clan calls it "Milky Way".

The sunlight slanted across the "sea", showing "waves" with heavy shadows. This place is originally farther from the sun than Shenzhou is from the sun. In addition, at this distance, the sun's luminous atmosphere is difficult to detect with the naked eye, so the sun looks more like a flying star, a flying star that is many times brighter than a first-magnitude bright star.

However, this thin sunlight can still support the activities of creatures.

In the "Milky Way", there are dragons swimming.

They are many times larger than their young counterparts in Shenzhou. After all, there is no need to worry about occupying the living space of other species here, so you can swallow and spit out matter as much as you want. Those dragons happily devour cosmic dust and filter out useful power from it. Some dragons who have properly transformed themselves can even obtain the spirit of plants and trees [chloroplasts] by swallowing plants and trees, and obtain the ability of plants and trees to directly draw power from the sun.

This is a very remarkable ability.

In terms of earth, chloroplasts are like mitochondria, and their genetic information and the parts in the cell nucleus that control biological traits are independent of each other - mitochondria and chloroplasts can even be regarded as symbiotic organisms in other higher organisms.

The method of transformation changes the expression of blood and spirit, but the dragon's body itself does not have the possibility of producing "chloroplasts". They make their own cells able to accept chloroplasts, which is simply against the will of heaven. The dragons who can do this basically have the status of immortality.

Therefore, in the Tianhe Dragon Army, the dragons with green scales have a high status. They lazily spread several pairs of green wings, roaming freely in the Tianhe River, occasionally swallowing a few mouthfuls of star ring dust. All dragons have to take a detour when they see them.

In this Tianhe River, there is a particularly strange dragon.

His upper body has transformed into an image very similar to that of the human race, while his lower body remains in the shape of a dragon, with a pair of wings attached to his back.

For high-level dragons who have mastered the method of transformation, it is not strange to want to make their bodies appear in any form, but the human race is just a young race that has just been born for 80,000 years. Except for the dragons who still live in their homeland and want to experience the growing young civilization, other dragons will not show human form.

For dragons, the original form of dragons is the most comfortable.

A green dragon flew over, and then its body quickly shrank. This is also an application of time and space. The powerful dragons rely on this method to achieve the desired size.

The second dragon gently embraced the strange human-shaped dragon with the middle half of its body: "Child, what are you thinking about?"

"Mother." The young dragon used his spiritual consciousness to transmit: "I am looking at my hometown."

"You can't see anything with your eyes now. Didn't I teach you? How to build strong vision?"

The young dragon shook his head and smiled: "Sometimes, I just like to look at the starry sky with my father's eyes - although these eyes are very fragile and easily injured."

He is half human.

But this is not surprising. The dragon's shapeshifting ability itself can change the expression of blood and eliminate reproductive isolation.

Even if a female dragon is pregnant with a fetus in the body of a mammal, she can adjust the fetus's blood expression, discharge it in the form of a dragon egg, and make it come into the world in the form of a pure dragon.

Of course, it is also possible to give birth to children in the form of viviparous birth.

At this point in the dragon race, there is no need to pay attention to the so-called "purity of blood".

The young dragon said: "Eighty thousand years ago, we and my father looked up at the stars together... I really miss it. It's a pity that my father's family didn't have their own immortality fruit, and the Demon Emperor led the entire father's family astray in the way of cultivation, so my father died of old age. I really don't know when my father's family will be able to share this "Great Sun Territory" like my family."

"Soon." The green dragon patted his child lovingly with his tail: "Soon, soon... Your father's family is a congenital spiritual family, and the Holy Emperor will not give up such a race. After Shenzhou withers once and the cultivation methods brought by the Demon Emperor are all forgotten, the Holy Emperor will take action to reshape Shenzhou and guide them on their own path."

The Renewal Demon Clan, the New Demon Clan, and the Cambrian Demon Clan before the Dragon Clan are all not congenital spiritual species, but "demon civilization". The only races in Shenzhou that are truly congenitally spiritual are the dragons and humans.

"Species born with spiritual power progress very quickly. Perhaps in the next 100,000 years or 500,000 years, your father's clan will be able to come to us." The green dragon said in a coaxing tone.

In the sky, a star suddenly lit up.

The young dragon said in surprise: "Ah, this is the star flash! Is it the end of the sun? It's not common in normal times, I have to make a wish..."

"No, I'm afraid it's not." The mother dragon's voice became serious: "That direction..."

-That direction is the homeland!

She changed her form. Her body gradually grew larger, and part of it gradually became transparent. A huge lens formed in her body, and then kept adjusting. In just a few breaths, the green dragon turned into a huge eyeball - if it was placed in Shenzhou, it would even be comparable to a mountain. The huge eyeball collects light from a wider range and observes what is happening in distant places.

Then, the eyeball shook.

——That is... the Heaven and Earth Ascension Dragon Dao!

The mother dragon turned into a green light and rose from the ground. She only had time to tell her son: "You just stay in Tai Sui Tianhe!"

In one sentence, she had already escaped thousands of miles away. In the void, a special essence fluctuation was faintly heard - this is a dragon roar that can be transmitted in a universe without atmosphere. Soon, twelve dragons gathered. This is the current head of the Tianhe Dragon Army, the best among those who have not yet fallen asleep.

"Heaven and earth ascend to the Dragon Road, and the dragons can be killed! I don't know where the rebellion came from, but the traitor must die!"

"But that is the homeland. The Holy Emperor has ordered that the homeland is now ruled by the human race, and we should not set foot there!"

"That is the dark side of the moon, a place that the homeland cannot illuminate. Only the Mahayana can touch it, so don't be afraid!"

At this time, the mother dragon just now suddenly roared: "Why are you still arguing? Now we are 'five distances' [five astronomical units, about 41 light minutes] away from the homeland. The scene we see now is already 'five illuminations' [one of the dragon time units, referring to the time it takes for light to travel through one astronomical unit, about eight minutes and sixteen seconds, and five illuminations is 41 minutes] before."

"But now the human race has occupied the exit of the Dragon Road, and we cannot attack the human race. This is not in line with the principles of the Holy Emperor!"

" The Holy Emperor is still sleeping. Are you willing to disturb the Holy Emperor's sleep for a rebellion? "The mother dragon fiercely retorted: "The Holy Emperor has been managing our clan for hundreds of millions of years. Are you going to disturb the Holy Emperor just for this?"

"How can you enter Shenzhou without going through the Dragon Road?"

The mother dragon said proudly: "Fly over!"

"It's only five miles away. The extreme escape speed I used by reversing the Deep Space Road can be close to 10% of the 'Liuguang Zhijing' [10% of the speed of light]. Adding the means of jumping out of the long river, I can reach the satellite of that homeland in four hours!"

"Too messy! By then, how much physical strength will you have left to face the undead beast?"

"That undead beast won't be too strong. Although I don't know how he got the Heaven and Earth Ascension Dragon Road, he abandoned the unfettered road created by the Holy Emperor. He must not be too strong to regain the ancient road!"

While speaking, the mother dragon had already spread her body. Seven tumors appeared on her body. Bones were generated quickly, and the scales reversed and changed into feathers. Soon, she spread her seven wings. These seven wings are not symmetrically distributed, but scattered all over the body. The mother dragon only needs to shake her body in a special way, and these seven wings can move symmetrically around an axis called the center.

This is the body movement of the dragon clan.

For the dragon clan, the body can grow into whatever shape it wants. And flying in the nearly vacuum universe, there is no need to consider aerodynamics. These seven wings are magic tools used to cast spells, and are also protective gear to protect the core of the body. There are tiny magic seals on each feather. Around these magic seals, the space is slightly distorted and the light is displaced.

During the flight, the movement trajectory of these wings will block the heart, dantian and other vital parts of the mother dragon, and the enemy cannot directly attack those parts.

In the process of transformation, the green under the scales of the mother dragon gradually disappears, revealing a noble purple. This is a sign of her noble bloodline. Chloroplasts are also just a method used to make oneself physically and mentally comfortable in peacetime, and a tool to show one's strength, but in battle, it is still not needed.

She said, "No matter what, I will send back the message. You use this time to slowly adjust yourself and move to your homeland with conventional escape methods."

The leading dark green dragon bowed his head gently: "We will win the battle."

The female dragon bowed her head gently in return: "We will win the battle."

A white spiral escape light left Tianhe. In just a moment, it escaped from the sight of the dragons. The sub-light speed escape method made the Doppler phenomenon visible to the naked eye, and the entire color spectrum became red.

After paying attention, the leading dragon said: "Okay, we should also prepare. After all, this is the first undead beast that has appeared in our tribe in the past 700,000 years, and no one knows how strong it is. Lan Xi may also fail, so prepare for the battle."

"I hope... he is just another prisoner above the forbidden god." (To be continued ~^~)
