The True Dragon Daoist School has ancient origins, seemingly existing since time immemorial, giving rise to numerous River Gods and Alien Race Gods.
This unique school is rumored to have been founded by an ancient deity in bygone ages, and it is now part of the Sheji Divine Dao, serving as one of the sources for the Water Realm Gods.
Bai Liying, as the Water Well Dragon Monarch, coupled with her own diligence, went through the unique entry ceremony of the True Dragon Daoist School, and was subsequently drawn in to practice along the water paths.
The school is situated in the Beichu Realm, within an ancient place called Dragon Gate Pass.
In ancient times, a Dragon Gate used to exist at this location.
Each time the Dragon Gate appeared, numerous water spirits would emerge to compete for the opportunity to transform into dragons.
Now the Dragon Gate has vanished, long becoming a myth, yet within the True Dragon Daoist School, the Dragon Transformation Technique truly exists.
Surging torrents surround the area, and the ground above hosts a series of cottages; some are thatched huts, some are bamboo lodges, and others have jade tiles and glass, but they all emit brilliance, fearless of the encroaching water clouds above and the crashing waves.
Every cottage seems to be suffused with Spiritual Light.
A few cottages are not yet perfected; waves crash in, waterlight floods in, yet the divine beings within radiate Divine Light, indifferent to the scour, allowing it to wash over them.
This merely makes them appear slightly disarrayed.
At this moment, within a bamboo lodge, the room is simply furnished, with only a few paintings, simple silk curtains, and a wooden bed platform.
In truth, every item inside here is remarkable; they originate from the depths of the Water Eye at Dragon Gate Pass, obtained only through passing special trials.
Building a bamboo lodge itself indicates the extraordinary qualifications of the resident.
At the door, a graceful, beautiful Divine Maiden knocks, issuing an invitation to the lodge owner.
"Our elder brother invites us to attend a banquet at Jade Dragon Palace, Bai Family sister, if we don't go, we might as well have some fun; the Jade Lake within is full of Spiritual Mechanism, and it still holds many True Dragon relics, perhaps with good luck we may encounter opportunities once inside!"
At the doorway, Bai Liying slightly furrows her Liu Mei brows.
The Jade Dragon Monarch is an Inner Courtyard Disciple of the True Dragon Daoist School, whose Dao Practice has long reached the Golden Core Realm Perfection; among the many disciples, he is indeed formidable.
But this Dragon Monarch is also a renowned playboy within the True Dragon Daoist School, and Bai Liying is unwilling to get involved in such troubles. Moreover, while cultivating the "Supreme Forget Emotion Technique" gifted by Zhang Jian, she has felt that her friend is not entirely pure in intent.
At this moment, she wears a plain cloud robe, her figure curvaceous; after childbirth, an aura of gentle vitality seems to enfold her, yet her phoenix eyes are brighter than ever.
She tenderly declines.
"Sister Mingzhi, I won't join in the revelry; Elder Qiao mentioned that next month the Void Dragon Transformation Chapter will be unveiled again, this is our opportunity, not to be missed!"
Bai Liying turns and departs directly.
Upon entering the True Dragon Daoist School, relying on her foundation and opportunities, she also received a True Inheritance from the Water Well Dragon Monarch, named the Void Dragon Transformation Chapter.
This True Inheritance among the numerous Magic practices in the True Dragon Daoist School isn't considered the core inheritance, but the early stages of cultivation are sufficient, and later on, future retransformation to other higher-tier legacies is possible.
Bai Liying cherishes her opportunities.
The beautiful Divine Maiden clad in aquatic palace attire quickly speaks.
"Bai Family sister, don't reject so quickly, the Jade Dragon Monarch has stated that we sisters from Class C must bring you along, or he won't welcome us!"
"You won't let the sisters envy and rejoice for nothing, surely!"
Her eyes are eager, her demeanor deliberately distressed.
Upon hearing this, Bai Liying frowns, knowing full well the intentions of the Jade Dragon Monarch; it's likely the 'friend' before her is similarly aware.
She states nonchalantly.
"Since I can't go, I won't!"
"Sister Mingzhi, I need to continue cultivating, please bear with me!"
She promptly shuts the door, shutting Shuiyun Lake Goddess Yinming Ganoderma outside.
Seeing the cottage door close, the Shuiyun Goddess's expression turns somewhat unpleasant.
"Preferring punishment over hospitality!"
The Shuiyun Goddess looks displeased; she is a spirit that became a deity within a lake in the Beichu Wilderness, having seized the opportunity to enter the True Dragon Daoist School.
But upon entering the school, she realized her own weak foundation, thus striving to climb, forming connections with various divine beings born within Water Realm Dragon Palaces.
She cares a lot about whether she can establish relations with the Jade Dragon Monarch.
However, the latter clearly favors Bai Liying, the Dragon Maiden.
Since Bai Liying joined the school, she has indeed been quite noticeable, having passed through several barriers deep within the Water Eye with her Divination Foundation Establishment body, even constructing a lodge, making her stand out.
At this moment, the Shuiyun Goddess feels somewhat helpless but inwardly thinks Bai Liying is naive.
Though visiting the Jade Lake Dragon Palace entails a cost, the benefits are substantial.
Being born of the Alien Race, who would care about such things?
In this goddess's view, Bai Liying is influenced by the Human Race for too long, learning those random mind-state doctrines.
Since its establishment, the True Dragon Daoist School is primarily dominated by the Alien Race, and two factions have existed since ancient times: one follows the true nature, viewing the true nature as natural instinct, unrestrained, harmonizing with one's bloodline to cultivate, thus achieving various Longevity Bodies.
The other faction advocates controlling desires, rigorously refining the Dao Heart, and resisting various temptations to attain the Great Dao.
Recently, the former has gained significant support within the True Dragon Daoist School.
Not long ago, several demon gods who advocated this path personally entered the school to preach, causing many strong figures within to tend towards this view.
...
Inside the lodge, Bai Liying sits before a mirror, her expression serene; she doesn't lack Secret Techniques, as Zhang Jian periodically sends some for her to trial!
Some of them have limited effects, but one in particular is extremely mysterious!
Especially those focusing on Soul Secret Techniques, primarily sculpting the Dao Heart.
Additionally, there are several combative Secret Techniques.
The "Taiyin Refining Form Technique" sent two years ago has been enough for her to ponder for a long time.
Relying on numerous Mysterious Techniques, she believes she can soon stand out among many Outer Disciples, stepping into the True Dragon Daoist School's Inner Sect to obtain the True Dragon True Inheritance.
Once becoming an Inner Sect disciple, she's highly likely to reach the Yin Spirit Realm.
Yet the treacherous current within the school keeps her vigilant.
At this moment, a streak of light emerges from within the conch, an instant message through the conch merges into her consciousness.
After a brief perusal, her lovely eyes reveal a hint of joy.
"Yi'Er has joined too?"
Her eyes show some longing.
After all, Zhang Yi is her biological child; how could she not miss him?
But she suppresses this longing, trusting Zhang Jian to manage everything well.
Everyone has their path to walk, Zhang Jian has his, Zhang Yi has his, and she has hers.
With Qi Yuhua replacing her role, Zhang Yi should not lack maternal love.
Bai Liying's gaze turns complex, but she soon regains composure, her mind focused more on how to win the spot to enter the Void Dragon Transformation Chapter.
...
West Mountain Temple, after a month of silence, An Ruming finally cannot restrain himself anymore and appears again before the Daoist Temple.
