Chapter 533: Chapter 340: Awakening True Dragons, Ripening Peaches of Immortality, and Yu Jun’s Whereabouts
"Roar!"
An hour later, the blood cocoon shattered. The azure serpent had disappeared, replaced by a scarlet dragon over twenty kilometers long.
Scarlet Dragon (Legendary): Level 296, a true dragon transformed by the blood of an ancient dragon.
"In the name of the Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon City, I grant you the name—Su Hong."
The named scarlet dragon respectfully knelt before Su Yu:
"Thank you, my lord, for the name."
Ao Qing asked in shock:
"Grand Commander, what is this?"
Su Yu turned back, smiled slightly:
"This is my innate ability. I can condense true blood to transform a life with Dragon Race bloodline into a true dragon."
"Are there any limitations?"
"It cannot exceed my realm, and since my bloodline is not strong enough, I can only transform one a year."
"So powerful..."
Ao Qing had a look of understanding on his face, then asked again:
"Can this method grow in the future? Can the True Dragon Bloodline be enhanced?"
Su Yu looked at him somewhat surprised, thought for a moment, and nodded:
"It’s possible."
Ao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling reassured and satisfied, and asked no more.
Su Yu suspected Ao Qing guessed something but didn’t care since it couldn’t be taken away.
After staying for a dozen more days, Su Yu captured another suitable serpent in the Water Eye, using the ancient dragon’s blood to transform it into a new scarlet dragon, naming it Su Yuan, also at the legendary level, Level 298.
He selected all serpents of Level 290 and above so that their transformation was just a step away from Level 300. After transforming the bloodline, they could be cultivated for some time, prepared for the Celestial Human Tribulation.
Failure results in ashes; success creates a Celestial Immortal level true dragon.
In over two months, Su Yu exhausted all five ancient dragon bloodlines accumulated, transforming three new true dragons.
Scarlet Dragon Su Hong (Legendary): Level 296.
Scarlet Dragon Su Yuan (Legendary): Level 298.
Scarlet Dragon Su Zhao (Legendary): Level 297.
Scarlet Dragon Su Ming (Legendary): Level 296.
Scarlet Dragon Su Chao (Legendary): Level 294.
The ancient dragon blood came from Su Yu, so no matter the serpent’s previous attributes, after transformation, they all became scarlet dragons, an extension of his power.
Su Yu promoted them to high-ranking water generals in the name of the Grand Commander, transferring ten million troops from the four camps of Beiming Dragon City to them and imparting the Divine Techniques for transforming the demon race to them, so they could transform new soldiers near the Sea Eye.
Now, as a Grand Commander, he was still a lone commander, and these five would become his direct subordinates.
Although Ao Qing and other commanders fully obeyed Su Yu’s orders, their subordinate forces were not Su Yu’s direct command. Moreover, Ao Qing obeyed his orders but had not sworn allegiance to Su Yu and still served the fallen Dragon Sixth Prince.
Unless one day Ao Qing could formally swear allegiance to Su Yu in the name of the Ancestral Dragon, they wouldn’t be considered his direct subordinates.
Having delegated the transformation and recruitment of water soldiers to the five dragons, Su Yu freed up time to continue his cultivation.
After some time, he refined a Xuantian Immortal Fruit, increasing 16 levels from 370 to 386. Refining another one would certainly reach Level 399.
Besides a significant attribute increase, his innate attributes increased again, but this time the effect declined slightly, with points increasing by 6 instead of the full +10.
Innate Attributes: Roots 91, Comprehension 88, Sixth Sense 95, Fortune 93, Lifespan: 129,600 years.
"Not bad."
The highest with a sixth sense of 95 points, only 5 points shy of Cang Hai, who is the innate spirit of water.
Innate attributes of 100 points represent the distinction between the extraordinary and the sanctified.
"Unfortunately, the true body’s realm isn’t enough to refine."
"But it’s not a big issue, there’s still the Peaches of Immortality."
In the Dinghai Realm, several large, fragrant red Peaches of Immortality were laid out before Su Yu. He picked one up, nodding as he examined it:
"Good stuff!"
Grateful for Cang Hai’s help and the stimulation from the innate power of origin, normally it wouldn’t be possible for a peach pit to sprout roots.
From a certain perspective, making a peach pit sprout is harder than getting the Xuantian Immortal Vine to blossom and bear fruit.
The Xuantian Immortal Vine, being a seed, can sprout given the right conditions.
The peach pit isn’t a seed and typically can’t sprout.
Keep in mind that Celestial Court hosts a Peach Festival occasionally, with many peach pits scattered annually, yet rarely can a Great Immortal cultivate it.
Su Yu’s feat was possible because of the innate Immortal Treasure, the Dinghai Pearl, providing innate power, combined with Cang Hai’s innate spirit of water channeling her innate power, achieving what even Golden Immortals would find difficult.
Peach: Spirit Root, Immortal Fruit, blossoms every 3,000 years, bears fruit in 3,000 years, and matures in 3,000 years, greatly enhancing cultivation and lifespan when consumed.
Attributes: Restores 100 billion Qi and Blood and Mana, Lifespan +10,000.
Attributes: Each refined peach increases True Immortal level by +1, Celestial Immortal level +3, Golden Core level +10, Dao Foundation level +30.
Note: Effects vary based on accumulated experiences.
This fruit matures every 9,000 years, producing 36 fruits per tree, but due to time crystallization acceleration lasting hundreds of thousands of years, there are now thousands of these fruits piled high before Su Yu.
"It’s too overwhelming."
With these peaches, Su Yu faces virtually no bottlenecks before reaching True Immortal, allowing rapid advancement. Theoretically, he could achieve True Immortal in just ten years.
However, this is theoretical, as proceeding like this would be suicidal.
The fruit only raises levels without enhancing techniques, spells, or laws. Rapidly gaining levels without a solid foundation could lead to high levels but poor strength, a flawed approach that would backfire without current foundational knowledge.
