Chapter 131: Chapter 132 Reincarnation Transformation
Translator: 549690339
Zhu Minglang came to seek Mr. Jinli, actually for the sake of Bai Qi’s matter.
Moreover, regarding the Dragon Disaster, Zhu Minglang vaguely remembered that he had heard about it from Mr. Jinli as well.
Mr. Jinli may have a seven-step memory, but his understanding of dragons far exceeded that of many academy scholars, and it seemed he had some knowledge of this world that had always been shrouded in the Void Sea and fog.
Zhu Minglang used to think that Mr. Jinli spoke only of irrelevant matters, but after experiencing being lost, after experiencing the adjacency of this continent, Zhu Minglang felt more and more that Mr. Jinli was truly a learned genius!
If only his memory wasn’t so disordered, he would be an excellent mentor.
At the moment, Zhu Minglang also detailed Bai Qi’s situation to Mr. Jinli.
From regressing into an Ice Bug, to metamorphosing into an Ice Pupa and then into the Ice Morning White Dragon, Zhu Minglang now couldn’t be sure whether Little Bai Qi’s regression was due to Crossing the Dragon’s Calamity or not.
Little Bai Qi slept very soundly, even if summoned from the Spirit Realm, he still could not open his eyes, just curled his tail around Zhu Minglang’s body and lay on Zhu Minglang’s shoulder, sleeping soundly again.
Mr. Jinli was also surprised.
Because the Little Bai Qi he saw was clearly a White Soaring Dragon.
Even if it had gone through some advancements, transformations, or leap through the Dragon Gate and survived the Dragon Disaster, it was impossible for the original bloodline of the White Soaring Dragon to disappear and turn into a combination of the Silver Moon Response Dragon and the Star Wind Ice Dragon’s bloodlines!
This completely contradicted any known dragon advancement method.
“How is it?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“It’s not Crossing the Dragon’s Calamity, this regressive transformation ability should be called Reincarnation Transformation. It’s a combination of the Butterfly Spirit Transformation and the rebirth of a Phoenix Dragon, but with an additional cycle of life. I can tell you clearly that with this ability, Little Bai Qi doesn’t need to cross any Dragon Disaster. After one more reincarnation, it can easily cross into a higher realm,” Mr. Jinli said.
“One more reincarnation???” Zhu Minglang was stupefied upon hearing this.
What does ‘one more reincarnation’ mean!!
“It means there’s a possibility of degrading again. This ability is extremely special. It should reincarnate over and over again, advancing each time, even without a Dragon Shepherd, it would keep transforming into higher level dragons during the endless years,” Mr. Jinli said.
“Little Bai Qi indeed doesn’t need any resources or training to keep getting stronger, but to regress again, that’s just too…” Zhu Minglang said.
“Do you naively think that when you met Little Bai Qi, it hadn’t experienced reincarnation? I can tell you explicitly that during its White Soaring Dragon phase, it definitely wasn’t its first reincarnation form,” Mr. Jinli said.
Zhu Minglang opened his mouth, somewhat in disbelief, yet unsure what to say.
Since he had memories, the White Soaring Dragon had been by his side, and at that time, Little Bai Qi was still a young White Soaring Dragon. Even without a Spirit Contract, it had always lived with him, growing up together.
As for where Little Bai Qi came from, and what it was before, Zhu Minglang really hadn’t given much thought.
Could it be that when he first saw Little Bai Qi, it had just gone through a reincarnation and taken the form of a White Soaring Dragon?
The lifespan of the White Soaring Dragon was long, and its growth rate was slow due to the lack of a Dragon Shepherd’s Spirit Contract, so it just slowly grew up with him?
“What was Little Bai Qi’s form before then?” Zhu Minglang asked incredulously.
“Only the heavens know that, perhaps at the very beginning, it was a tiny Ice Bug, the most insignificant and humble creature in this world, one that even a sparrow could eat,” Mr. Jinli said.
“Having gone through a Reincarnation Transformation, it became a Butterfly Spirit or a White Jiao Spirit, slowly moving away from the most trivial levels, but still struggling to survive in this survival of the fittest world,” Mr. Jinli said.
Zhu Minglang tilted his head, looking at Little Bai Qi lying on his shoulder, sleeping so peacefully, so tranquilly, and his heartstrings were suddenly jostled by a few words.
When he met Bai Qi, it was already a White Soaring Dragon.
Before knowing him, how many times had Bai Qi gone through such reincarnations??
How did it survive on its own in this fierce and dangerous world?
Keep in mind that when it regressed, it was so weak that it might not even find a few mulberry leaves to fill its belly.
If he didn’t pay a bit of attention, it could even be carried away by some birds!
“Its ability means that any life constraints, bloodline ranks of this world cannot bind it, it will only become stronger over and over again, strong enough to surpass the Dragon King, to be on par with the Progenitors, strong enough that in this eternal universe, billions of galaxies can no longer find any creature that could stand above it,” Mr. Jinli said with some excitement.
Zhu Minglang looked at Mr. Tinli. and then glanced at Bai Oi Iving on his shoulder like a fluffy kitten…
For some reason, even though Mr. Jinli often spoke of nonsense, including these preposterous words, Zhu Minglang somewhat believed them to be true.
He grew up with Little Bai Qi.
He had seen the powerful state of the White Soaring Dragon, and he had also seen it weakened into an Ice Bug, too weak to even fill its belly.
So when Bai Qi transformed into the Ice Morning White Dragon, he became incredibly powerful even without any need for cultivation, and Zhu Minglang didn’t find anything unreasonable about this.
It was precisely because he had witnessed the entire process of Little Bai Qi’s regression, and saw how difficult its existence was!
“Mr. Jinli, doesn’t that mean I’m very lucky? All beings have their shackles; no matter how strong they are, they can’t break through the heavens or obliterate the earth. But according to Mr. Jinli, even if Little Bai Qi is to become the unparalleled Dragon King of this era, it is merely a matter of going through one or two Reincarnation Transformations?” Zhu Minglang could hardly calm the tumult in his heart.
“In my eyes, the little guy is the lucky one.”
“There probably isn’t another fool in this world like you, Zhu Minglang, who would give up a matchless Sword Master’s cultivation base, just to let an ordinary White Dragon survive a disaster, and accompany it like an insignificant bug in this fierce world, leading a life of ups and downs,” said Mr. Jinli gravely.
Zhu Minglang looked at Mr. Jinli with a face full of surprise and, ultimately, couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“It turns out Mr. Jinli has seen through it. Please do not tell others, especially Aunt Xuehen,” Zhu Minglang said helplessly, giving Mr. Jinli a bow.
“You have made it what it is, and it will make you who you will be. What God and Mortal, what Sword Cultivator, in the end, they are but mere specks of dust. Before long, your mastery as a Dragon Shepherd will surpass that of a Sword Cultivator. Not to mention this Supreme Court Courtyard Continent, even the Divine Realm Sky, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times more vast, cannot stop your ascension. As a Sword Cultivator, you might become a king, but I’ll make you a god,” Mr. Jinli said spiritedly, his words full of passion!
For a long time, Zhu Minglang thought Mr. Jinli must have once been the leader of some cult, instilling ideas of supreme dominion and ruling the primitive world.
But after hearing what Mr. Jinli had said today, even Zhu Minglang himself felt a surge of enthusiasm.
Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Little Bai Qi, estimating that Little Bai Qi was not even aware of its past cycles of reincarnation, because of the soul connection with the Dragon Shepherd, it was slowly recalling its experiences of being a White Soaring Dragon during its reincarnations.
Mr. Jinli also leaned over, his eyes focused on the still sleeping Little Bai Qi.
It lav on Zhu Minglang’s shoulder. emitting slight. adorable snores. with a
lazy, pampered sleeping posture, like a little princess who is well cared for, with absolutely no need to worry about the dangers and cruelties of the world.
Mr. Jinli gave a long sigh.
Indeed, for Zhu Minglang and Bai Qi, each was the other’s good fortune.
Mr. Jinli knew that even if Little Bai Qi were to regress again, becoming weak and insignificant, Zhu Minglang would still take very good care of it.
“Zhu Minglang, whether it’s Phoenix Nirvana or Butterfly Spirit
Transformation, there are ways to make this stage pass more quickly, so you wouldn’t have to wander as long as you did before,” said Mr. Jinli.
“How should I do this? Please enlighten me,” Zhu Minglang said respectfully.
“I don’t remember,” Mr. Jinli said honestly. Why does this have to happen at this moment!
Zhu Minglang grimaced.
“I should remember eventually. Anyway, Bai Qi won’t be reincarnating any time soon. Reincarnation Transformation only happens when its current form reaches its peak and its strength can no longer break through, or when progress is slow, then it will enter the next cycle,” said Mr. Jinli.
“But I can’t always be here at Zhu Gate. It would be quite troublesome if you remember when I’m not around,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Listen to yourself, Zhu Minglang, aren’t you willing to give even a small monthly stipend to this little fish? When I urged you to choose Dragon Trainer with great earnestness, I had anticipated that we would elegantly traverse the world together. Do you really think my ambition is to be a mascot, to be copied and forwarded at will?!” Mr. Jinli said with heartache, and as he spoke, he really clutched his fins over his heart.
Zhu Minglang hadn’t thought about it that way.
But it was a good thing after all!
There were many things Zhu Minglang didn’t understand, but now he had someone to ask.
And with its guidance, he could avoid many detours on his path to dragon rearing. Even the painstaking task of consulting the Dragon Code books was unnecessary – Mr. Jinli’s belly was like a vast library; there was nothing he did not know. If he truly didn’t know, he could always weave tales.
It’s just that sometimes he forgets things.
And sometimes, he only has a seven-step memory.
That is why the children also call him Mr. Dumb.
On second thought, that was a minor issue. If it followed him in his Dragon Shepherd Team, it could immediately tell him once it remembered. That would be more efficient than aimlessly searching for those unfamiliar records and books.
Besides, how much could fish bait cost?
There’s nothing cheaper to keep than fish in this world.
You feed them, change the water…
Zhu Minglang glanced at Mr. Jinli, who was leisurely swimming in the air, wiggling its tail…
Heh, no need to even change the water!
