Chapter 229 Fish Transforms into a Dragon!
Daxia, a remote mountain area.
At the entrance to a secret realm, the Night Watch's technicians are busily adjusting equipment.
Since the appearance of the spiritual energy vortex, the secret realms in various parts of the Great Xia have undergone varying degrees of change.
Some areas experienced a decrease in spiritual energy concentration, others saw increased spatial fluctuations, and still others exhibited unknown anomalies.
This hidden gem nestled deep in the mountains of southwest China is one of the places where the changes are most noticeable.
"How's the situation?" the person in charge asked as they walked over.
The technician wiped the sweat from his brow.
"The concentration of spiritual energy has decreased by 30 percent compared to before, but the spatial fluctuations have stabilized."
"but……"
He paused.
"Deep within the secret realm, we detected an unknown energy source."
The person in charge frowned.
"Energy source? What energy source?"
The technician shook his head.
"I don't know, the signal is too weak, we can only detect the approximate location."
"But one thing is certain: that energy source did not exist before the spiritual energy vortex appeared."
The person in charge remained silent for a few seconds.
"Continue monitoring, and report any changes immediately."
"Yes."
The person in charge turned around and walked to the entrance of the secret realm.
At the entrance, there was a faint curtain of light.
The light curtain was bluish-gray and almost invisible in sunlight.
But when you touch it, you can feel a thin film, soft yet tough.
The person in charge stood in front of the light screen, looking at the blurry scene inside.
A vague unease crept into my heart.
It has now been seven days since the spiritual energy vortex appeared, and strange phenomena have been observed all over the world.
The cherry blossoms fall from Takamagahara in the Land of Cherry Blossoms, thunderclouds rise over Mount Olympus, pillars of light illuminate the ruins of Babylon, and the interplay of light and shadow on the Giza pyramids...
Everything is pointing to the same fact...
The age of mythology is returning.
And those beings that have been dormant for thousands of years are awakening one by one.
This was not good news for the Night's Watch.
Because those things that exist are not necessarily friendly.
The person in charge took a deep breath, turned around, and walked back to the camp.
"Strengthen security. Without orders, no one is permitted to approach the entrance to the secret realm."
"yes!"
Similar conversations are taking place at the entrances to secret realms throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.
Meanwhile.
Strange phenomena continue to occur in the sacred sites of ancient civilizations around the world.
Mount Olympus.
The thunderclouds above the mountaintop grew thicker and thicker, and golden lightning flashed through the clouds, producing a deafening roar.
Within the thunderclouds, those enormous outlines became increasingly clear.
Babylonian ruins.
The beams of light grew brighter and brighter, shooting straight up from the ground into the sky.
Within the pillar of light, the ancient runes flowed, radiating a mysterious and powerful force.
The Giza pyramid complex.
The light and shadow became clearer, revealing the images of the gods: Ra, Horus, Anubis, Thoth…
They stood in the light and shadow, looking down at the earth below.
Although it was just light and shadow, the majesty and aura it exuded made everyone afraid to look directly at it.
The members of the Hippo Kingdom's extraordinary organization knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically.
"Gods! The gods are returning!"
"Our god is coming back!"
Their voices were filled with sobs, ecstasy, and the anticipation suppressed for a thousand years.
But outside of these holy sites.
In other places, changes are also taking place that are unknown to most people.
Those places are not as famous as these holy sites.
It is not as majestic as Mount Olympus, not as ancient as the ruins of Babylon, and not as spectacular as the Giza pyramids.
But they also have a long history.
It also has ancient legends.
Deep in the forests of the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe, in Roba.
A crack is slowly spreading across the ground.
A faint blue light emerged from the crack.
The blue light was cold and deep, like the color of the depths of ice.
Around the cracks, vegetation began to wither, and the ground began to freeze.
In just a few minutes, the area within a hundred meters was turned into an ice field.
And deep within the cracks, one could faintly hear…
Someone is chanting.
Ancient, desolate, and filled with endless tragic chants.
That was the Viking war song.
In the southern part of the New World, deep in the rainforest.
An ancient pyramid covered in vines is trembling slightly.
Vines have broken off from the surface of the pyramid, revealing the stone walls below covered with reliefs.
Those reliefs depict the image of the feathered serpent god.
Long feathers, serpentine body, majestic and mysterious.
At the top of the pyramid, a giant sphere of light slowly coalesced.
The sphere of light was emerald green, making it particularly conspicuous in the night.
Around the pyramid, countless birds took flight from the forest, circling the sphere of light and emitting sharp cries.
And in a more distant place.
In those places where humans have not yet set foot.
In those corners forgotten by time.
Change is happening.
The dormant being is returning.
The sealed power is being unleashed.
Lost civilizations are reappearing.
And the source of all this—
It's that vortex of spiritual energy.
That vortex of spiritual energy that originated from Daxia, from Luxian, from that small Taoist temple.
Its appearance changed the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire world.
This accelerated the outbreak of the spiritual tide.
It awakened those dormant beings.
……
Eight days after the spiritual energy vortex appeared, its size had shrunk to less than a thousand miles in diameter, and the streaks of light that streaked across the sky above Lu County had become sparse.
Everyone knew that the strange phenomenon was about to end.
That night, the old Taoist priest tossed and turned in bed, various thoughts surfacing in his mind.
The apprentice has caused a huge commotion this time!
Bigger than ever before!
This worried the old Taoist priest. After everything was over, would his disciple still be the same disciple?
He couldn't help but recall the day he found his apprentice.
That day was the fifteenth day of the second month of the lunar calendar. It was raining heavily at night, and he dreamed of his master.
In the dream, the master's face was blurry; the old Taoist priest could only see that the master was smiling at him, smiling very happily...
Then he dreamed of a cow, a cow with shiny black hair and only one horn.
The ox knelt at the entrance of the Taoist temple, with a swaddled baby hanging from its only remaining horn. Inside the swaddled baby was a crying infant.
Then, he was awakened by a crying sound.
The old Taoist priest once believed that the dream was a revelation from his master, who was smiling happily because Qingfeng Temple had a successor.
For nearly twenty years, he had believed this, but he never expected...
The ending of that dream is the key point.
Just then.
boom!
A loud bang suddenly came from the courtyard, and the entire Taoist temple shook!
The old Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed a stick from beside the bed, and pushed the door open to go out.
In the courtyard, the water vat had exploded.
Fragments were scattered all over the ground, and water flowed everywhere.
And in the original location of the water tank...
A fish is suspended in mid-air.
No, it's not a fish.
It is a dragon.
A dragon about a foot long.
It is entirely golden with fine scales, short limbs, and two small horns on its head.
It floated in mid-air, enveloped in a faint golden light.
Those eyes were golden, vertical pupils, and carried an indescribable majesty.
Upon seeing the old Taoist priest, it immediately flew over and circled around him.
Then, it landed on his shoulder and nuzzled his face with its head.
The old Taoist priest was stunned.
dragon?
Did the arowana really turn into a dragon?
He reached out and patted its head.
It feels very smooth, and the scales are cool to the touch, which is very comfortable.
The little dragon squinted its eyes and let out a soft cry.
The sound was like a baby crying, or a bird singing, clear and melodious.
The old Taoist priest looked at it and suddenly sighed.
"This life feels like a dream!"
Before he could finish speaking, the old Taoist priest suddenly felt Xiaolong's body stiffen, and then he began to desperately shrink behind his neck.
at the same time……
Rumble!
A clap of thunder sounded in the night sky, growing louder as it approached.
