Chapter 206: Azure Dragon

…

Because of this, Lei Qing had kept Dongfang Si busy for fully two hours. She had truly experienced the state of feeling both alive and dead. Following that, Lei Qing finally endured that pain, sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb the chaotic information in his consciousness.

Only then did he slowly begin to understand what was actually happening with that jade pendant in his arms.

From that mysterious information, Lei Qing not only learned that this item was called the Azure Dragon Pendant, but also understood that it was the legendary heirloom treasure of the Azure Dragon Clan.

Only those with the Azure Dragon Clan bloodline could truly activate the Azure Dragon Pendant.

The Azure Dragon Clan, of course, was not the legendary true Azure Dragons that overturned rivers and seas and swallowed clouds and mist, but a group of humans who possessed Azure Dragon bloodlines. These humans were very power ful. Once upon a time, they were the main force among humans for resisting invasions by Demonic Beasts. They held a very high status among humans.

However, for unknown reasons, this group of humans disappeared from the river of history thousands of years ago.

As a result, by now, the Azure Dragon Clan had completely become a legend. Only in unofficial histories and miscellaneous records could there be some records about the Azure Dragon Clan, but they were vague and unclear.

Lei Qing himself had a very vague concept of the Azure Dragon Clan and did not understand it well. But what made him somewhat incredulous was that he had actually received the recognition and inheritance of the Azure Dragon Pendant.

Besides the large amount of chaotic information in his mind, the most complete and clear type of information was a cultivation technique called the Dragon Transformation Art. Only those with Azure Dragon bloodline could cultivate it. According to the Dragon Transformation Art, when this art reached its highest realm, one could transform into an Azure Dragon, controlling clouds and rain, becoming extremely powerful and domineering.

The power that had been circulating in Lei Qing’s body before, tearing him apart with pain, was the Azure Dragon Fighting Qi. And the strange and extremely mysterious pathway it followed was the cultivation method of the Dragon Transformation Art.

In other words, with the help of the inherited jade pendant, Lei Qing had already completed the first cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Art. The Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi in Lei Qing’s body had all been transformed into Azure Dragon Fighting Qi.

This made Lei Qing extremely speechless. His Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi, which he had worked hard to cultivate for ten years, had actually all been converted into Azure Dragon Fighting Qi. It was only a small ball, the size of a fist, hidden in the Qi Sea.

Even more shaking Lei Qing was that he could cultivate the Dragon Transformation Art and did not die from exploding his body. There was only one possibility, which was that he possessed Azure Dragon bloodline.

However, Lei Qing’s ancestors had been human for generations. The Old Ancestor of the Lei Family, the Heavenly Thunder Sword Saint, came from a commoner background. Before that, the Lei Family had always been in a relatively low-status position. Obviously, there should not have been Azure Dragon bloodline in the Lei Family’s bloodline.

If so, another possibility was right there: it was the bloodline from his mother’s side. Could it be that his mother was a member of the Azure Dragon Clan? This was very likely; otherwise, it would be hard to explain the origin of the Azure Dragon bloodline in his body, and even harder to explain why the Azure Dragon Pendant appeared on him.

At that moment, Lei Qing felt somewhat dry-mouthed and hard to accept. That his father had dealings with the extremely mysterious Azure Dragon Clan might be a very ugly blasphemy to the Azure Dragon Clan. This also explained why his parents could not raise him personally. Perhaps they had been executed, or perhaps they were imprisoned. In short, if they were not truly helpless, it would be impossible for them to ignore him for twenty years.

Perhaps, Uncle Xiahou knew some of the details. He insisted on waiting until Lei Qing achieved Gold-rank before his twenty-fifth birthday to tell him the truth. This represented danger. It meant that only when his strength reached Gold-rank and he demonstrated excellent talent would he have the chance to resolve this matter.

Lei Qing analyzed and inferred the various possibilities bit by bit. The two precondition conditions left by his father were Gold-rank and before the age of twenty-five. Probably, it was not about the Gold-rank itself, but about demonstrating a certain talent. Because if it involved a mysterious and powerful race like the Azure Dragon Clan, it definitely could not be resolved by merely having Gold-rank strength.

So, the answer was right there: it was extremely likely that he needed to demonstrate his talent, prove his promising future, to gain the recognition of certain existence.

The more Lei Qing thought about it, the more correct it seemed, and his tense mood relaxed slightly. Now that he understood his father’s two conditions, it indicated that his parents were more likely helpless rather than on the verge of death. Otherwise, as a father, knowing they would definitely die, he would not let his son go on a dangerous mission.

Achieving Gold-rank before the age of twenty-five meant a higher probability of achieving Holy Rank in the future. But looking at the Pan-Continent within his vision, those who could cultivate to Gold-rank before the age of twenty-five were rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

They were mostly the most outstanding heirs of Fighting Qi Holy Lands, or occasionally a super genius would emerge from among the various major forces. For example, Leng Yuewu had achieved Gold-rank at a very early age.

Although Lei Qing did not know exactly how effective the Dragon Transformation Art was, he knew that this Dragon Transformation Art was certainly stronger than the Three Changes of Heavenly Thunder he had cultivated. But he did not know which was better, this one or the supreme texts of the Fighting Qi Holy Lands?

But no matter whether the Dragon Transformation Art was good or bad, having been forcibly subjected to it by the Azure Dragon Pendant, with the Heavenly Thunder Fighting Qi in his body completely transformed into Azure Dragon Fighting Qi, Lei Qing had no way back.

Thus, Lei Qing could only bite the bullet and cultivate the Dragon Transformation Art. He originally thought that cultivating the Dragon Transformation Art would be a very painful thing. But after spending several hours running through the first layer of the technique, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not painful at all. On the contrary, he clearly felt that his physical quality was undergoing obvious changes.

After carefully pondering the information in the Dragon Transformation Art, Lei Qing finally understood. The inherited Azure Dragon Pendant had helped Lei Qing awaken his bloodline by changing the hidden bloodline in his body from recessive to dominant.

It was equivalent to helping him cleanse his marrow and change his bones once again, completely altering his physique, of course, it would hurt. But the subsequent cultivation was normal; it was not only painless, but he could even feel the ecstatic pleasure brought by cultivation.

Having thoroughly understood, Lei Qing could also understand. The first time always hurts. After the pain, it represented that a brand new life was about to begin.

Lei Qing did not know what difficulties his parents were suffering from now. What he could do now was to cultivate to Gold-rank as soon as possible. He was a bold but careful person. After careful consideration, he would not act rashly.

The Dragon Transformation Art brought Lei Qing great benefits. Following this, Lei Qing slowly stood up and felt that his body was full of powerful and extraordinary strength.

He threw out a punch casually, and a fierce explosive sound came from the air. His explosive power had increased by several tens of percent compared to before. Lei Qing had not broken through, but merely through the change in his physique after one or two cultivation sessions, his strength had improved significantly.

Such a result made him extremely happy. In the past, when living in the Imperial Capital, he did not know the preciousness of strength, liked to play and have fun, and cultivated sporadically.

It was only after being chased and killed, and then joining the Free Alliance, that he deeply realized the importance of strength. If his strength was insufficient, to those stronger experts, he was just an ant that could be crushed at will.

Just like Dongfang Si, relying on her powerful strength, she could do whatever she wanted to him and to her godmother. While he, could not even gather the strength to resist.

If it were not for the Azure Dragon Pendant helping him out at the critical moment, the consequences today would have been unimaginable. Thinking of this, Lei Qing felt angry towards Dongfang Si, who was still tied up and nearly reduced to a disfigured mess by Lei Qing’s ravishing.

Just as he was about to go and punish her again, he smelled a foul stench on his body, and could not help but laugh dumbly, his mood becoming very good. For a Fighting Qi cultivator like Lei Qing, excreting a large amount of foul dirt from his pores was one of the signs that his physique and life factors had made significant progress.

Slow and accumulated progress would never produce such a large amount of filth all at once. Only when life factors died and were reborn repeatedly in a short period, with the new completely replacing the old, would such a phenomenon occur.

The dirtier and smellier it was, the greater the progress of this time. Feeling very refreshed, Lei Qing happily jumped into the Cold Pool, took a satisfying bath.

Only then, in high spirits, did he go to his godmother’s tent to pay respects. After being allowed to enter, Lei Qing suddenly saw that his godmother, having nothing else to do, had actually brought Dongfang Si into the tent as well, and without holding grudges, had boiled some hot water and patiently helped her wipe herself clean.

Watching her gentle and patient actions, there seemed to be a holy aura about her. Lei Qing did not want to quarrel with his godmother, so he could only say, “Godmother, you need to be careful with this snake-scorpion woman. Don’t untie the tiger tendons binding her. A Holy Rank powerhouse has very tenacious vitality. Who knows if she will recover her strength and her bones will heal themselves, only to counterattack us later.”

“Mmh, I just saw her left outside by you and felt she was really pitiful, so I took a little care of her.” Zhu Xiyu said gently, but seeing Dongfang Si battered and scarred from Lei Qing’s torment, she couldn’t help but say casually, “Qing’er, you really messed her up too cruelly…”

She stopped halfway, Zhu Xiyu immediately shut her mouth, her face turning red instantly. She thought that Lei Qing was her godson. How could she, as the godmother, say such things to him?

Then, she thought of the several hours earlier, Lei Qing’s wildness and endless thrusts on Dongfang Si. He had constantly humiliated Dongfang Si.

This had put her in a state of uncontrollable lust at that time, and she had involuntarily masturbated herself. That scene, even now, made Zhu Xiyu feel extremely ashamed, wishing she could dig a hole and hide in it.

But unfortunately, Lei Qing was in pain from the Azure Dragon inheritance jade pendant at that time, completely ignoring Zhu Xiyu. Zhu Xiyu, at this moment, was somewhat afraid to look at Lei Qing, her face burning extremely hot.

Probably Lei Qing would never have imagined, that when Zhu Xiyu was masturbating behind him back then, she was always vaguely imagining that it was not Dongfang Si, but Zhu Xiyu herself, who was enduring his thrusts.
