Chapter 69: The Transition of the Old and New Eras After Elder Mu arranged everyone and asked all the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation to join the Tang Sect, he finally slowly turned his gaze to Ye Qian'an who was wearing a black and gold mask. "Ye Qian'an, the road you have to travel is much longer than I can imagine. In this era when the gods are hidden, your future is full of variables and challenges. I will not force you to join the Tang Sect, because I know that your destiny is unique. Go, pursue the path that belongs only to you. But please remember that no matter when and where, Shrek Academy will always be your solid support. When you feel confused or tired on the road ahead, the door here will always be open to you. I hope that one day we can meet again and see a more mature and powerful you." At this point, Mu Lao's breathing rose and fell violently several times, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he would leave forever in the next second. Ye Qian listened to Mu Lao's words quietly, and a barely perceptible touch flashed across his eyes under the mask. He bowed slightly and expressed his respect to Mu Lao. If one day he really reached that step, he would leave a way out for Shrek Academy, nothing more, and the rest was not within his consideration. "The Shrek ancestors, Moon, are here." When he said the last sentence, Mu Lao's voice suddenly increased, and a strong golden light suddenly burst out from his body. His body slowly floated up from the recliner, and nine soul rings, two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red, slowly appeared from his body. An extremely loud dragon roar suddenly sounded. The entire Poseidon Pavilion instantly turned into a brilliant golden color. A huge golden beam of light suddenly shot straight into the sky from the Poseidon Pavilion, illuminating the entire Shrek City in gold. Mu Lao's originally hunched body was undergoing amazing changes in this golden light bath. His old face was becoming younger at an astonishing speed, every wrinkle was gradually smoothing out, and even his skinny body was gradually becoming fuller, full of vitality and energy. Old Mu looked at the people in front of him silently, raised his right hand and waved it gently, as if saying goodbye or blessing.
The golden light became stronger and stronger, and Mu Lao became younger and younger. Gradually, Mu Lao's body turned completely golden. Pieces of golden dragon scales grew out from under his skin and soon covered his entire body. Old Mu raised his arms on both sides of his body, and the golden light in the air turned into red-gold, orange-gold, gold, green-gold, cyan-gold, blue-gold and purple-gold successively. When the last purple-gold turned into white-gold, followed by an extremely loud dragon roar, his figure shook and turned into a white dragon emitting strong golden light all over his body, and disappeared out of thin air. Loud dragon roars continued to sound in the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth. The terrifying aura continued to spread outward, and the strong golden color went straight down, covering the entire Sea God Island. The huge body of the white dragon in the sky swayed slightly. Although the amplitude of the swing was small, it caused the air to vibrate. The dragon's eyes looked towards the south, which was the direction of the Star Forest. Another loud dragon roar was heard, and the terrifying dragon power caused all the clouds within a radius of thousands of miles in the sky to shatter and dissipate in an instant. In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, a group of ferocious beasts looked towards the direction of Shrek Academy at the same time. Di Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and stared in the direction of Shrek Academy. His eyes were deep and complex, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. "It's a pity that the Holy Dragon of Light has fallen. If he were in that era, he might have become a god." Gu Yuena murmured to herself as she looked at the white ball of light in her hand. An extreme heat current instantly rushed into Ye Qian'an's body. He only saw a golden color in front of his eyes. Under the impact of the warm current, his soul power level finally broke through the bottleneck and rose to level 60. The countless golden light spots transformed by the white dragon all gathered in the direction of the Seagod Pavilion. The huge golden light and shadow of the golden tree slowly emerged as if stretching out its own body. The phantom of the white dragon flashed above the tree, and all the bright auras rushed away in an instant. The light and shadow of the tree also slowly converged, returned to the Seagod Pavilion, and slowly disappeared. Everything seemed to have returned to normal, but all of this did not include Moon, the leader of the Seagod Pavilion, the Ultimate Douluo, the Dragon God Douluo, the strongest man in Shrek Academy, and the owner of the Holy Light Dragon Martial Spirit. With the death of Moon, Shrek Academy was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. That atmosphere was like a heavy dark cloud, weighing on everyone's heart. However, a new era also began. Ye Qian'an stood quietly at the gate of Shrek Academy, with a thoughtful look under the mask. He felt the soul power in his body increased by the gift from Elder Mu, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. However, he returned to normal in just a moment, and without staying for too long, he turned and walked towards the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest. When no one was paying attention, Ye Qian injected some soul power into the necklace around his neck. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot and appeared beside the Lake of Life. "Nana, I'm back." Ye Qian said. Gu Yuena slowly turned around, looked at Ye Qian, nodded slightly and said: "The fall of the Holy Light Dragon will surely cause quite a stir in Douluo Continent." Ye Qian nodded gently and said, "This means that a new era has begun. We must be prepared to welcome this wave." Gu Yuena nodded gently, the white light ball in her hand emitting a soft glow, "This is for you. This is the original power of the Holy Light Dragon. I intercepted the part that is useful to you." Ye Qian'an nodded and slowly stretched out his hand to take the white light ball. A powerful force instantly spread throughout his body. His already strong body became even tougher under the baptism of this force, and his strength also increased a little.
After a while, Ye Qian slowly opened his eyes, looked at Gu Yuena and asked, "How is the auspicious beast?" "After the little guy absorbed the dragon pill you gave him, he should be preparing to transform in the next few days. Let's go and take a look." Gu Yuena said, looking in one direction. Ye Qian'an nodded, and walked towards the place where the auspicious beast was with Gu Yuena. At this time, the auspicious beast was shrouded in rich golden light. The light flickered, but it exuded an extraordinary aura. Di Tian and other ferocious beasts were guarding it. Ye Qian and Gu Yuena stood quietly by, watching intently. They could feel the powerful force surging in the auspicious beast's body, which was the prelude to its transformation and the transformation of its life. At this moment, the golden light on the auspicious beast became extremely dazzling. When the golden light dissipated, a golden egg about one meter high appeared in front of everyone. "What's going on? Shouldn't it transform directly into a human?" Ye Qian'an turned to look at Gu Yuena and asked. Gu Yuena frowned slightly, staring at the golden egg. After a moment's silence, she said, "Perhaps it has undergone special changes after absorbing the dragon pill. It seems that it will take some time for the auspicious beast to fully transform." Ye Qian'an walked to the golden egg that was transformed from the auspicious beast and stopped. He raised his hand and gently pressed on its surface, and probed a trace of soul power into it. He wanted to make sure that the transformation of the auspicious beast would not be disturbed in any way. After a moment, Ye Qian'an breathed a sigh of relief. So far, the transformation of the auspicious beast was progressing smoothly. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Ye Qian'an held the golden egg in both hands and walked towards the Lake of Life. He was very careful with every step, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world in his hands. Gu Yuena, Di Tian and other fierce beasts followed silently behind. When they arrived at the Lake of Life, Ye Qian gently placed the golden egg into the lake. The water of the Lake of Life rippled slightly, providing it with a continuous source of life force. Ye Qian'an stood quietly by the lake, staring at the golden egg in the lake. He raised his hand and placed it on his chest. The Dragon God Core slowly emerged, covering the entire Lake of Life. Gu Yuena walked up to him and whispered, "Is this to prevent detection?" “For someone who even wants to get his hands on the core of life and the status of the Lord of the Planes, I really can’t imagine whether he would covet the power of luck of the auspicious beast.” Ye Qian’an nodded. Gu Yuena nodded slightly, and her slender fingers gently stroked the black and gold mask worn by Ye Qian'an. Her movements were gentle and carried a hint of concern. Unconsciously, their foreheads touched lightly. Gu Yuena's eyes were full of tenderness and determination: "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are in the future, we will face them together." Ye Qian'an was slightly moved, his red eyes flashing with a strange light, "Okay, with you here, I have nothing to fear." At this time, the golden egg in the Lake of Life still emitted golden light. Di Tian and other ferocious beasts stood quietly by, witnessing this warm moment. During the next three months, the transformation of the auspicious beast concerned everyone all the time, while Ye Qian and Gu Yuena sat cross-legged beside the Lake of Life and practiced in meditation as usual. Gu Yuena's injuries have been fully healed by the healing power of life force, and her cultivation has returned to the peak of the first-level deity. With the gift from Elder Mu and the assistance of the origin of the Holy Light Dragon, Ye Qian'an's cultivation has stabilized at level 60. What he needs to do now is to accumulate knowledge to deal with the sixth seal. On this day, the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a powerful pressure enveloped the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Ferocious beasts such as Di Tian became alert, as the auspicious beast's transformation calamity was about to come. As the first bolt of lightning struck, the golden egg in the Lake of Life trembled slightly, and the power of lightning struck the surface of the lake, splashing huge water. Ye Qian'an immediately mobilized the power of the Dragon God Core to form a solid protective barrier above the lake. Lightning bolts continued to fall, becoming more and more powerful. The protective barrier continued to flicker under the impact of lightning, but was never broken. Every time a lightning bolt fell, the golden egg glowed more dazzlingly. As time went by, the power of the heavenly calamity gradually reached its peak. A huge bolt of lightning roared down like a dragon and slammed heavily into the protective barrier. Ye Qian'an frowned slightly and summoned the Tianzhu Sword. The Tianzhu Sword emitted a sharp light, as if it could cut through all obstacles in the world. Ye Qian'an gripped the hilt tightly and continuously injected his own soul power into it. Facing the huge thunder and lightning that roared down like a giant dragon, Ye Qian raised the Heavenly Punishment Sword and swung it forward fiercely, "Sword One - Open the Sky!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Tianzhu Sword burst out with an extremely bright light, and a sharp sword energy fiercely faced the dark cloud. For a moment, the light was shining, and energy was overflowing. The powerful impact made the entire Xingdou Great Forest tremble. The surrounding trees shook violently in the aftermath, and the leaves fell one after another. However, Ye Qian'an's sword was extremely powerful. The sword energy split the huge lightning into two with unstoppable force. After the lightning was cut in half, it turned into countless tiny arcs of electricity and gradually dissipated in the air. The thunderclouds covering the Star Dou Great Forest also began to slowly dissipate under this blow. As the thunderclouds dissipated, the sky gradually became clear again. The sun shone through the thin clouds, illuminating the Lake of Life and everything around it.
Ye Qian'an retracted the Tianzhu Sword and let out a long sigh. He turned his head to look at the golden egg in the Lake of Life, only to see that the egg shone even brighter after experiencing the baptism of the heavenly calamity. Gu Yuena walked up to Ye Qian'an and said, "Is this the first move of your supreme artifact?" Ye Qian nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the golden egg, "Yes, this 'Sword Opens the Sky' is the first move of the Heavenly Punishment Sword, it is quite powerful." At this time, the light on the golden egg became stronger and stronger. Tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell. The cracks gradually expanded, and a powerful force of luck emanated from the egg. Ye Qian'an, Gu Yuena, Di Tian and other ferocious beasts were full of expectations. As the crack continued to expand, the power of destiny became stronger and stronger, instantly enveloping the entire lake of life. Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, the top of the golden egg slowly opened, and a bright light shot up into the sky. The eggshell shattered into powder instantly, and a beautiful figure slowly walked out of the Lake of Life. It was a girl who was meters tall, with golden eyes, skin as white as snow, and long golden hair draped softly over her shoulders. She was wearing a white dress, the hem of which fluttered slightly in the wind. The neckline of the dress was inlaid with golden silk threads, outlining delicate patterns that complemented her golden hair and eyes. "Brother." The girl ran towards Ye Qian'an with light steps. Ye Qian'an was stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on his face. He opened his arms and hugged the girl firmly. The girl snuggled tightly in Ye Qian'an's arms. Gu Yuena looked at Ye Qian'an holding the auspicious beast and felt something strange in her heart. She murmured, "It seems we have to act quickly." "Brother, I finally succeeded in transforming." The girl said in a clear voice. Ye Qi'an gently stroked the girl's long hair and said softly: "Since you call me brother, then you are my sister, Ye Qi'an. Do you have a name? If not, I will give you one." The girl raised her head, her golden eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Okay, brother, give me a name." Ye Qian thought for a moment, his eyes wandering around the beautiful scenery, and finally landing on the girl's brilliant golden hair, "Let's call her Ye Xiyao." The girl smiled brightly and repeated her name: "Ye Xiyao, I like this name, thank you brother." Gu Yuena came forward, looked at Ye Xiyao with a smile and said, "Xiyao, we will be a family from now on." Ye Xiyao nodded obediently. …… (End of this chapter)
