Immortal's Divine Tribulation

chapter2theTransformingJiao

What an incredible opportunity, Dragon Aotian thought. If he could absorb the jiao’s essence now, he would definitely break through to the Return to Immortality realm!

"No, since this jiao has the potential to evolve into a dragon, it cannot be absorbed. Stay here and protect it!"

When Dragon Aotian conveyed his thoughts to the old national teacher, the old man firmly rejected him, insisting that they both stay there to protect it.

"Aotian, as a cultivator, strength is important, but the heart is even more important! If this jiao can successfully evolve, it will ascend to the heavens, transform into a dragon, and if you form a good relationship with it, it will certainly be grateful. In the future, it can become a powerful guardian for the Dragon Teng Dynasty, complementing your rule!"

The old national teacher, seeing Dragon Aotian’s disappointed expression, spoke earnestly. As a lifelong friend of his father, he cared deeply for his descendants.

Being the ruler of a dynasty, Dragon Aotian was not incompetent. In an instant, he understood the key point. As the old man said, he could still find other opportunities to enter the Return to Immortality realm, but this jiao was currently trying to awaken its divine dragon bloodline. Once successful, it would be the only true dragon in the Divine Martial Continent. If they formed a bond, the Dragon Teng Dynasty would have a great chance to gain a supreme dragon god, becoming the most powerful force in the continent.

"Yes, National Teacher, you are right. I will stay here and protect this jiao with you," Dragon Aotian said respectfully after understanding the meaning behind the situation.

As they were communicating, the jiao lying on the ground suddenly woke up. Its lantern-like eyes opened, and upon seeing the humans before it, the eyes were filled with unease. The previous battle had drained most of its strength.

When its gaze fell on the old national teacher, it visibly trembled. The jiao clearly sensed the old man’s immense power and felt a deep sense of despair. If it were at full strength, the old man might not even be a match for it, but now...

It began to struggle, attempting to stand up, only to realize it had no strength left. As it watched the old man approach, it let out a feeble roar of unwillingness.

"Brother Jiao, do not worry. We mean you no harm. You can focus on activating your divine dragon bloodline. We will stay here and protect you," the old national teacher, sensing the jiao’s misinterpretation, immediately explained.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, the giant jiao was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting such words from the powerful human. Its eyes were filled with distrust.

Tian Fan, watching the creature on the ground and listening to the old man’s words, couldn’t help but feel a deep respect for the elder. Although he could not cultivate, his knowledge of ancient texts made him respect the elder’s mindset.
