X-Dragon Era

Feeling the rushing water, Xin Yun knew he had reached the underground river. Recalling the layout, if he continued to follow the current, he should drift toward Crescent Bend, but that was clearly not his destination.

In thought, Xin Yun suddenly turned Yinglong's head and swam in the opposite direction. To cultivate, he must find a spacious area underground. It simply wasn't possible to cultivate while riding atop the dragon.

On his way forward, Xin Yun quickly passed beneath the pool again, then continued to swim toward the location of the dormitories and classrooms...

After a short while, the direction of the underground river changed, seeming to rise quite a bit, and it kept ascending. Then, after several turns over about a thousand meters, finally... the surroundings opened up, and Xin Yun distinctly felt air circulating!

Reaching into his chest, Xin Yun pulled out a Nightlight Stone, and in an instant... a blazing white light shone in the pitch-black space, illuminating the surrounding area.

The so-called Nightlight Stone, commonly used as a source of light in this world, is charged in the sun during the day; by night, it emits a bright glow, even more effective than a lightbulb.

Looking around, he was in a massive cavern hundreds of meters high with an area of tens of thousands of square meters. The underground river ran through the middle of the cavern, dividing it into two spaces of varying sizes.

Setting the Nightlight Stone into his chest, Xin Yun leapt down from Yinglong, stepping onto the cavern floor. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the dense Water Series energy around him, and he laughed with excitement.

Not daring to delay, Xin Yun quickly retrieved Yinglong and then with the Nightlight Stone, found a half-foot-high stone platform to sit cross-legged on and entered a state of cultivation.

Replacing energy was extremely troublesome. He had to eliminate non-Origin Energy one at a time and fill the gaps with Origin Energy, which was a complicated process.

Inside Xin Yun's Dragon Ball, the energies were like a mixed bag of soybeans, mung beans, red beans, black beans... a multitude of grains all jumbled together. Yet what Xin Yun truly desired was only one type. The energy he wished to retain was merely a fraction of the total amount.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was troublesome, very troublesome... After much consideration, Xin Yun gritted his teeth and decided to disperse all Origin Energy within the Dragon Ball, regardless of whether it was desired or not, rejecting everything except for the Dragon Ball's innate origin power.

It is worth mentioning, dispersing energy is not the same as dispersing one's cultivation. Although Xin Yun's realm momentarily dropped back to the status of a rankless Other Star and he could no longer summon his dragon, the realm of the Dragon Ball still remained at Bronze Five Stars!

Draconic cohesion doesn't arise from Origin Energy alone. Origin Energy is commonplace in this world, yet none has ever spontaneously transformed into a dragon. The decisive factor is the Dragon Creation Stone!

Now, although the Origin Energy has been scattered, the power of the Azure Blue Sea within the Dragon Creation Stone remains intact. Next... all Xin Yun had to do was to attract the Origin Power he desired, then merge it with the energy of the Azure Blue Sea to condense the Origin Dragon. It would no longer be in the same form as the one he used to summon.

One crucial point is that in order for the Dragon Ball to absorb energy, an energy derived from the Azure Blue Sea must first be formed within the Dragon Ball. This derived energy from the Azure Blue Sea, when combined with Origin Energy, can coalesce into a dragon that Xin Yun can command.

If the Dragon Ball contains a total of 100 units of energy derived from the Azure Blue Sea, then it can only absorb 100 units of Water Series Origin Energy. By pairing them up, the true energy of the Dragon Ball is formed, still totaling one hundred units. It is through the Azure Blue Sea's derived energy that Xin Yun can manipulate and control Origin Energy.

The energy derived from the Azure Blue Sea naturally carries the characteristics of the Azure Blue Sea, which is strong acid. Hence, once Yinglong exhales, it will spray out a strong acidic liquid.
