"Is this a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon?!"
As a golden light flashed, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and then his vision blurred. When his surroundings returned to normal, Li Xuan opened his eyes to look around. He found himself in a void.
Not only that, but a spiritual dragon was coiled beside him. Upon seeing it, Li Xuan was immediately shocked. The spiritual dragon before him was a full thousand zhang in size!
Excited, Li Xuan rubbed his eyes and looked again. After confirming, Li Xuan could no longer contain his inner joy and burst into laughter: "It truly is a case of 'When one door closes, another opens.' I wonder who lost this spiritual dragon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuan sat down cross-legged and circulated the cultivation method inscribed within the token. A beam of light instantly shone from his body. Then, the light flashed and disappeared, quickly falling onto the spiritual dragon.
With the light's absorption, the coiled spiritual dragon immediately opened its eyes, a strong gleam appearing within them.
Seeing this, Li Xuan broke out in a cold sweat. Just as he was about to make a move, the coiled spiritual dragon moved and instantly flew to Li Xuan's head. Then, the spiritual dragon opened its great mouth, and an extremely pure spiritual energy enveloped Li Xuan.
Feeling the influx of extremely pure spiritual energy within his body, Li Xuan finally relaxed, slowly closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.
Unbeknownst to Li Xuan, as he absorbed the energy, a red light shot into the sky from the monument in the Spiritual Dragon Pool, making the sky as bright as midday.
"What is that... Heavenly Dao! Someone has actually received the direct infusion of a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon!"
"My heavens! Who is it, to receive the direct infusion of a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon!"
"The purple light that appeared earlier had already broken the record of the previous Spiritual Dragon Pool competition. Who would have thought that this time there would be a red light!"
"..."
With the appearance of the red light, the surrounding disciples and those cultivating on various peaks all looked towards the main peak of the Azure Hall. Besides discussion, they were all speculating about the identity of the disciple who received the direct infusion from the thousand-zhang spiritual dragon.
"Hmm, quite a fortunate young fellow." Elder Yu Long, seeing the red light appear, also slowly opened his eyes. After a slight sensing, he nodded with a smile and then closed his eyes again.
At this moment, Song Wu Wen's eyes also showed a hint of surprise upon seeing the red light appear. He was somewhat curious about the recipient of the thousand-zhang spiritual dragon. After all, to receive such an infusion meant receiving spiritual energy far exceeding that of others.
"Could it be Fifth Junior Brother? No, no. With Fifth Junior Brother's strength, receiving an infusion from a five-hundred-zhang spiritual dragon would already be considered excellent." A thought flashed through Song Wu Wen's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
Although the spiritual energy gained from a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon was profound, to contend with such a creature would require strength at the Peak of the Shore realm. This was why Song Wu Wen dismissed the idea.
Time flies when cultivating. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Even though half a month had gone by, the disciples gathered outside the Spiritual Dragon Pool had only increased in number.
Clearly, these disciples were all attracted by the red light that had appeared.
Although disciples from other peaks were prohibited from going to the main peak of the Azure Hall, the appearance of the red light this time had even alerted the Sect Master of the Azure Hall, An Ba Tian. Therefore, these disciples were not held accountable for their transgression.
"Half a month has passed. The disciples who received the spiritual dragon infusion should be coming out one after another. I am curious which peak's disciple is this time's lucky recipient of the thousand-zhang spiritual dragon infusion."
In the high heavens of the Azure Hall, seven figures floated. The speaker was none other than the Sect Master of the Azure Hall, An Ba Tian.
At this moment, the red light flickered on An Ba Tian's face, clearly indicating his satisfaction at a disciple receiving such an infusion.
"With the power of a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon, no disciple other than those at the Peak of the Shore realm would be a match for it. Therefore, the lucky recipient this time must be among the top ten disciples at the Peak of the Shore. I just wonder who is so fortunate to have encountered the appearance of a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon."
Liu Wen also nodded slightly and said with some emotion.
"To receive the infusion from a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon not only demonstrates a disciple's strength but also signifies them as a standout in terms of providence and luck."
"Sect Master, in my opinion, if such a disciple were sent to the Seventh Peak to fuse with the Seven Treasures Hall, there might be unexpected gains. After all, the Seven Treasures Hall is currently awakening and its consciousness is relatively low, so its resistance would naturally be much weaker."
As Liu Wen finished speaking, Di Ren Hai looked at An Ba Tian and said.
An Ba Tian frowned slightly and replied, "Junior Brother Di, after the disciple sparring matches, I already stated that we are not to interfere with matters concerning the Seventh Peak."
"We all know that the only disciple at the Peak of the Shore realm on the Seventh Peak, Su Yue Ze, did not enter the top ten. If we were to place the disciple who received the thousand-zhang spiritual dragon infusion on the Seventh Peak now, what difference would that make from our previous resolution?"
"Sect Master is right. Junior Brother Di's actions are truly unbecoming of our status. Who doesn't know that anyone who can establish a connection with the Seven Treasures Hall can become the peak master of the Seventh Peak? And we all know that your Third Peak has three disciples at the Peak of the Shore realm who entered the top ten."
"Di Ren Hai, do you truly think we are unaware of your intentions?" Liu Wen responded to this, his voice sharp.
"Liu Wen, have you never considered what would happen if your Liu Zi Jun obtained this thousand-zhang spiritual dragon?" Di Ren Hai asked with a cold sneer.
"You! Even if Liu Zi Jun received the infusion from a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon, my Fifth Peak would never be willing to be the villain." Liu Wen was so enraged that he immediately flicked his sleeve and said.
"Enough, we will discuss this later. To receive the infusion from a thousand-zhang spiritual dragon has not happened in the history of our Azure Hall for over two hundred years. Since it has appeared this time, and coincidentally coincided with the awakening of the Seven Treasures Hall, perhaps it is indeed destiny."
"I will make a decision after discussing this matter with Luo Kang." Seeing Liu Wen and Di Ren Hai start to argue, An Ba Tian immediately intervened.
The two then fell silent. As An Ba Tian's words fell, a hint of sharpness flashed in the eyes of the others on either side of the high heavens.
Song Wu Wen naturally noticed the presence of the seven peak masters and the Sect Master, but his gaze remained fixed in the direction of the Spiritual Dragon Pool.
"Strange, based on a five-hundred-zhang spiritual dragon, Fifth Junior Brother should have come out by now. It's been so long, could Fifth Junior Brother still not have found a spiritual dragon?" Song Wu Wen's heart jolted, and he then shook his head vigorously.
"Alas, for now, I can only continue to wait."
