Chapter 97 Hunting for Life, the Birth of the Azure Dragon (Subscription Request)
In the long river of destiny.

Those innate saints who were sweeping and exploring saw Lei Ze suddenly restrain his Taoist thoughts and will and leave, and their minds changed and they began to communicate.

"Fellow Daoist Lei Ze left so suddenly, could it be that he found the reason for the thunderous sound just now?"

"Oh, I thought Brother Lei Ze was the thief crying thief!"

“It’s all possible!”

During the conversation, his suspicion towards Lei Ze was somewhat dispelled.

……

The original water eye of the East China Sea.

Lei Ze sensed the dark yellow lotus seed condensed from half of the heavenly merit inside the Seventh Grade Green Lotus of Merit, and his heart was filled with smiles.

He could sense that this dark yellow lotus seed, although in terms of "quantity", was completely incomparable to the seventh-grade green lotus of merit, the difference was countless.

But in terms of "quality", it is infinitely higher.

The protection given to him in the dark and the suppression of his innate destiny are equivalent to nearly half of a seventh-grade green lotus of merit.

……

Even under the illumination of the faint light of merit emanating from this dark yellow lotus seed of creation, Lei Ze had a sense of complete enlightenment.

With just a slight try, Lei Ze could clearly feel that his own cultivation comprehension had increased by three points out of thin air.

"This is only half of the merit of the creation of the universe, but it has such a mysterious effect. Then, how wonderful should the Three Pure Ones be with so much merit of the creation of the universe?"

……

Lei Ze’s thoughts were flowing.

Concentrate your mind and calm your spirit, then begin to practice quietly.

Three years later.

Suddenly, Lei Ze sensed that there was movement almost all the time in that path, dividing his many thoughts and representing the mark of authority of [Transformation Thunder Tribulation].

Three years ago, the mark of authority that condensed and represented the eternal thunder tribulation began to emit a faint glow.

Somewhere in the dark, Lei Ze had two thoughts that were integrated into the Great Way of Thunder.

Able to sense the ancient world.

At this time, it happened that there were two acquired creatures who gradually comprehended the edicts of the great Dao and condensed their true forms of gods and demons.

This brought about the immortal thunder tribulation that Lei Ze had just set three years ago.

……

A post-natal creature, located in the primitive South China Sea.

The other one was somewhat beyond Lei Ze's expectations.

It is actually in one of the worlds that have evolved.

Through the manifestation of the long-life thunder calamity, he looked at the acquired creature that was full of horror and began to resist the thunder calamity.

Lei Ze could sense that this world, which was supposed to be desolate, was actually showing signs of life.

……

In Lei Ze's mind, the road of destiny was flowing, and he began to explore the long river of destiny and explore the past.

After a while, Lei Ze discovered that innate creatures had been born in these worlds hundreds of epochs ago, and acquired creatures had been conceived over the past few dozen epochs.

Lei Ze suddenly realized this.

It is known in some way that these worlds will also occupy a part of the great destiny.

"All heavens and worlds?"

……

After three days.

Of the two acquired creatures who were undergoing the longevity thunder tribulation, one died and the other was injured.

That newly born creature from the ancient South China Sea perished in this long-lasting thunder calamity.

As for that one born creature among the worlds, it survived the thunder tribulation of immortality at the cost of being seriously injured.

……

Lei Ze did not pay attention to the fact that the created creature from the ancient South China Sea fell into the thunder calamity, except for the innate merit and innate luck that were bestowed upon it.

Instead, he sensed, in the depths of his true spirit, the true form of the acquired creature that appeared out of thin air on the [Hongmeng Fate Wheel], which was only half incomplete.

Lei Ze felt slightly delighted.

……

This means that His idea was successful.

From now on, He will no longer lack the "life" to reach the level of lower gods and demons.

And as the number of acquired creatures increases, the number of those who survive the thunder tribulation of longevity will continue to increase, and the "lives" he hunts will also increase as well.

……

After all, according to the immortality thunder tribulation that He set, this immortality thunder tribulation will cut off immortality.

The highest chance of surviving the tribulation is only half, and the highest probability is one in two.

And as more acquired creatures need to absorb innate vital energy to maintain longevity, the power of the longevity thunder tribulation will be stronger, and the success rate of passing the tribulation will be lower.

Three passes and one, four passes and one.

Until you slowly reach a primitive world, and reach a critical point between the birth of innate vital energy and the consumption of innate vital energy, then if you go through the thunder tribulation of immortality, you will die without a doubt, so as to maintain the balance between heaven and earth.

For Lei Ze, this immortal thunder tribulation is a public and private benefit.

This immortal thunder tribulation, while maintaining a certain balance in the ancient world, also allowed him to gain the "life" of a lower-level god or demon, thus killing two birds with one stone.

……

This kind of difference is also the reason why the longevity thunder tribulation set by Lei Ze this time is completely different from the transformation thunder tribulation and the heavenly punishment thunder tribulation.

Among them, the transforming thunder tribulation, although it can still hunt "life" after failing to pass the tribulation and dying, but this thunder tribulation can be said to be a gift from Pangu Heavenly Dao to all living beings. Only one in a million will fail to pass the tribulation.

And only at the innate spirit level can there be a slight possibility of failing to transcend the tribulation.

Apart from being able to constantly gain merit and luck, the "life" you hunt is even less valuable than a mosquito leg. It can only be said that it is better to have it than nothing.

And since the day when the punishment thunder calamity was established, it has not been triggered at all in all these kalpas, as if it did not exist at all.

……

After a while, Lei Ze fell into a state of meditation again.

Time flies, years pass by, and one epoch after another passes by.

Time has come to this new Dao era, the 399th Yuanhui, and is approaching the 400th Yuanhui.

There was less than one Yuanhui time left before Hongjun would give his sermon.

……

At this time, the development of these Yuanhui has been experienced.

The acquired creatures in the prehistoric world have multiplied and grown in number.

In terms of quantity alone, it has reached about one-tenth of the innate creatures.

And it is still growing rapidly.

And as countless newly created creatures die or die of old age, the vital energy of heaven and earth that they absorb is returned to heaven and earth.

It also caused the ancient world to begin to produce acquired energy in addition to the pure and flawless innate energy.

……

The innate creatures originally contained in the heaven and earth, whether it is the three thousand innate gods and demons, or the countless innate spirits.

They are almost equivalent to the embodiment of the Great Dao.

It's just that the order of priority is determined by one's innate abilities.

But they all depend on the Tao to exist and do not need to absorb innate vital energy at all. After their death, they transform into the Tao of heaven and earth and strengthen the Tao of heaven and earth, without being contaminated by the innate vital energy at all.

……

But acquired creatures are completely different.

No matter it is the acquired creature that has condensed the talismans of the Great Dao and cultivated the true body of a god or demon, or the acquired creature that has just been born.

They all require the intake and exhalation of innate vital energy.

After falling, although it returned to heaven and earth, there was still some consciousness left in it, which made the innate vitality no longer flawless, and thus turned into acquired vitality.

……

Lei Ze could clearly sense that in the entire vast universe, the proportion of acquired vital energy was less than one in a million.

And as time goes by, it is refined by heaven and earth, slowly returning to its pure and flawless state, transforming into innate vitality.

But in terms of quantity, it is growing irreversibly.

Moreover, acquired creatures are not like innate creatures. That bit of true spirit of acquired creatures is naturally endowed with immortal Tao nature, which can be integrated into the Tao, spread into the heaven and earth, and have the possibility of reincarnation.

After the fall, the true soul and spirit merged.

As a result, the ancient world has gradually seen the appearance of residual souls and ghosts.

Among the dragon clan, after these Yuanhui periods of time, acquired ghost dragons began to appear.

Regarding these situations, Lei Ze thought of the division of the three realms of heaven, earth and man in future generations, as well as the underworld.

All kinds of thoughts and plans in my mind slowly brewed.

……

However, as the time for Hongjun's sermon approached.

Lei Ze began to slowly gather his thoughts, thus keeping his mind in a state that was most suitable for listening to and understanding the Tao.

However, as he sensed, another born creature fell under the thunder calamity of immortality.

Lei Ze was slightly delighted.

In the blink of an eye, that thing turned into the source of a thunder tribulation.

The [Endless Thunder Pool], which has integrated countless innate merits and turned into a top-grade innate merit spiritual treasure, appeared out of thin air.

Afterwards, on the [Hongmeng Fate Wheel], the "fates" of many half-incomplete acquired creatures that had reached the level of lower gods and demons began to transform into the Hongmeng clear light.

With the assistance of Hongmeng Qingguang, Lei Ze has been refining the [Endless Thunder Pool] over the past few Yuanhui periods and has completed the eighth-turn refining. He is now refining it for the ninth time.

……

Hundreds of years later.

With only the last bit of primordial light left.

Lei Ze had just refined the [Endless Thunder Pool] thoroughly nine times, completing the nine-turn ritual, no more, no less.

Sensing the mysterious connection between the [Endless Thunder Pool], which seemed to have transformed into a second self and seemed to be able to house his true spirit, Lei Ze nodded in satisfaction.

Directly put a trace of mental will and a root dragon bone into the endless thunder pool.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and this one is added.

Lei Ze felt that in terms of the many means of saving his life, he might be no less capable than the supreme gods and demons.

With a thought, the endless pool of thunder merged back into the heaven and earth.

Then Lei Ze continued to calm his mind, waiting for the time for Hongjun to preach.

……

And just when there were only ten thousand years left before Hongjun gave his sermon.

Lei Ze, who was waiting, was suddenly awakened.

Sensing the boiling of the Dragon Dao's will and the fluctuation of the Dragon Clan's luck.

Lei Ze could clearly sense that a true dragon god with the ultimate innate god and devil skills was born at this time.

Look towards the east of the vast land.

Through the transformed thunder tribulation that just appeared.

Looking at the east of the prehistoric land, there is a dark green dragon that is more than 7 million miles long, a vast innate true dragon.

Just by looking at this sacred innate true dragon, Lei Ze knew his innate true name, [Qing].

Like Zulong [Zhen], it is a relatively rare one-word innate true name among the innate gods and demons.

"The birth of the Azure Dragon is a great blessing!"

Showing a smile, Lei Ze originally thought that He was not going to be born before Hongjun preached.

"Since Azure Dragon has been born now, then Candle Dragon should also be born within ten thousand years."
