Chapter 909: The Resurrection of the Divine Ao V The Little Kun Fish Transforms into a Peng
A magical scene appeared.
The Divine Tear Lake, which had been silent for billions of years, suddenly grew a Mysterious Water Yin Lotus in the center of the lake. It grew rapidly and bloomed into a circle of nine crystal clear jade-colored petals, followed by the second and third circles, blooming from the outside to the inside.
Then, the Mysterious Water Yin Lotus condensed the mountain spiritual energy that had been stored for billions of years into crystal white dewdrops, which rolled down the lotus petals to the surface of the lake, stirring up circles of light golden ripples.
Deep at the bottom of the lake, the soul of the giant fish that had been meditating for countless eternity in the "Original Divine Crystal" was being awakened little by little, and the dark blue soul fire flickered with the colorful chaotic halo transformed by Su Xiaoya.
Suddenly, a streak of purple lightning pierced the clouds and struck the center of Divine Tear Lake. The Mysterious Water Yin Lotus suddenly contracted its petals, forcing out all the accumulated mountain spirit essence, which transformed into streams of silver-white light and sank to the bottom of the lake.
The divine turtle soul contained in the black water silver lotus suddenly trembled, and the soul fire surged three feet, absorbing all the colorful divine light into it.
The moment the seven-colored divine light was absorbed, a crisp sound like shattering jade echoed throughout the lakebed. As the mud surged, countless tiny points of cyan light seeped out from the rock formations at the lake bottom and, like swimming fish, darted into the soul fire. This was the essence of the Divine Aurora, accumulated over eons on the Floating Island, now guided by the Mysterious Water Yin Lotus and flowing into the body of the Divine Aurora, which was about to be reshaped.
The excruciating pain of transformation spread from the soul fire to every part of its body. Under the influence of the Mysterious Water Yin Lotus' essence, the Divine Ao's soul gradually solidified, first forming a pale green cocoon several feet long. Fine rock veins emerged on its surface, each corresponding to the peaks of Mount Laoshan.
Su Xiaoya now understood that the highest peak of this floating island was none other than Mount Laoshan, the legendary site of the divine turtle's transformation. The "Divine Tears Lake" atop the mountain was supposedly used to nourish the "Origin Divine Crystal" and the divine turtle's soul hidden within the Mysterious Water Yin Lotus.
Inside the light cocoon, the blurry body began to differentiate: the spine rose like a mountain range, the ribs were like layers of rocks, and the limbs of the divine turtle that had been lost were now constantly stretched and deformed under the pull of the original power, with sharp bone protrusions growing at the knuckles.
The most bizarre thing is the tail vertebrae, which split into three forks in the vibration of the light cocoon. At the end of each fork, a translucent fin membrane condenses, and faintly visible light golden veins flow.
Slowly, the rock patterns on the surface of the light cocoon lit up with a vermilion-red glow. With a cracking sound, a gap appeared at the top of the light cocoon, and half of a head covered in blue-gray scales peeked out.
The skull resembled a giant turtle with a deer's head. A diamond-shaped black jade was inlaid on its forehead. The shimmering halo within the jade echoed the morning mist of Mount Laoshan, the main peak of the Floating Island. It slowly opened its eyes. The left eye, as warm as amber, reflected countless fish of various shapes and sizes. The right eye, as deep as obsidian, held the seven-colored glow of various spiritual crystal veins. With each breath, two streams of white vapor emanated from its nostrils, condensing into fleeting cloud patterns in the water.
Su Xiaoya blinked. Hadn't she seen fish swimming in the Divine Tear Lake before? And these spiritual veins?
However, Su Xiaoya did not give up on transferring divine power. She did not want to fail at the last minute, so it would be better to help the divine Ao successfully transform as soon as possible.
At this moment, a ray of seven-colored divine light penetrated the lake, and the light cocoon completely shattered. The body of the divine turtle stretched out in the lake, revealing its astonishing full appearance, which was clearer than what could be seen through the light cocoon:
The divine turtle is nearly ten feet long, with a trunk like a giant armored whale. There are three humps on its back like small hills, and the tops of the hills are covered with dark golden stratum corneum. If you look closely, you can see the shadows of miniature pine trees growing in the cracks of the rocks.
There are two rows of serrated bone spurs on the dorsal line from the neck to the tail fin, and each bone spur has a cluster of bright white spiritual fire on the top.
The pectoral fins on both sides of the body are the most peculiar. When unfolded, they are five meters wide. The fin membrane is translucent like shark silk, and is covered with light blue star pattern patterns, which perfectly overlap with the star tracks in the night sky of Laoshan.
The rumors were indeed true; Mount Laoshan was indeed the body of the Divine Ao. Su Xiaoya's admiration for the Divine Ao was even stronger. Not every creature would sacrifice itself to save the world, at least Su Xiaoya didn't think she could.
When the pectoral fins paddle, the lines on them glow silver, dragging long streaks of light through the water. The pelvic fins are short and stout, with rounded bumps on the edges. They feel as hard as stone, yet they can flexibly turn as they swim, stirring up the lake like a tidal wave.
The most striking feature is its triple tail fin. The central fin is the longest, forked at the end like a swallow's tail, and covered with fine silver scales, casting a star-like glow as it swims. The two secondary tails are shorter, their membranes dotted with dark red markings, resembling the lava fissures deep within Canglan Mountain. The three tails sway in different rhythms, the central tail controlling direction and the two secondary tails regulating speed. This stirs up the muddy sand at the bottom of the lake, yet creates an absolutely calm water within three feet of its body—this is the domain power formed by the "Divine Crystal Origin".
She never imagined that one day she would be able to observe the Divine Ao's domain up close. Su Xiaoya was no fool, and she carefully observed the Divine Ao's every move. Gradually, she actually saw some clues.
The transformation of Shen Ao has entered the final stage, the fusion of Shen Ao's soul and the memory of Laoshan's body.
The divine turtle slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, and the black jade on its forehead touched the roots of the Xuanyin lotus deep in the lake.
In an instant, the memories of Laoshan, spanning billions of years, flooded into my mind like a tide: the magma flowing from the ancient volcanic eruption, the ice and snow covering the Ice Age, the vitality of the first magical herb breaking through the soil, the footprints left by the first climber, the "Divine War to Patch the Sky and Control the Water"...
These memories flowed through the blood and merged into the scales, causing lines of varying depths to appear on the originally blue-gray scales, forming ancient runes.
The lake finally returned to calm. The Mysterious Water Yin Lotus closed its petals again, and the giant turtle slowly rose from the lakebed. Sunlight shone on its scales, reflecting a halo of green, gold, and silver. The black jade on its forehead shone brightly, heralding the divine turtle's rebirth.
The divine aurochs's deer head lightly touched the water, letting out a long, drawn-out neigh. The sound pierced the clouds, echoing from the ten thousand peaks of the floating island, and the beasts of the forest wailed in unison. It swam to the center of the lake, and three streams of water erupted from the three humps on its back, forming the Chinese character "神奧" (divine aurochs) in the air. Then, they transformed into gentle rain, showering down upon Su Xiaoya and Princess Kunming, mother and son.
"This is God's blessing!" Princess Kunming looked at the little Kun fish in surprise. With God's blessing, the little Kun fish would be able to cure its congenital deficiency and get the opportunity to transform into a Peng.
People only know that Kunpeng can transform between the forms of Kun fish and Peng bird, but they don’t know that not all Kuns can transform into Peng.
The "Blessing of God" merged into the body of the little Kun fish, which continued to shimmer. The Divine Ao immediately transformed into an old man with white hair, white eyebrows, white beard, and white robes. He pinched his fingers and moved the little Kun fish into the Divine Tears Lake.
The moment it entered the lake, the little Kun fish's body suddenly expanded and continued to grow to a thousand miles.
Su Xiaoya didn't even bother to check the "God's Blessing" that had merged into her body, staring at the changes before her in amazement. Is this the true form of the Kun Fish? This is too shocking, even more shocking than when she read "Xiao Yao You".
There is a fish in the North Sea, named Kun. Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousand miles it is. It changes into a bird, named Peng. Peng's back is so big that no one knows how many thousand miles it is. When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.
I saw that the back of the little Kun fish was covered with dark blue scales, each scale was glowing with star-like light, and when the silver fins under its belly swayed gently, it stirred up an undercurrent for hundreds of miles.
If nothing unexpected had happened, the little Kun fish would have fed on the deep-sea black pearls and absorbed the primordial purple energy between heaven and earth. Its body would naturally have accumulated enough spiritual power to shake the universe, just waiting for the opportunity to break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly.
Unfortunately, Princess Kunming was seriously injured when she was pregnant with little Kunyu, resulting in little Kunyu being born with congenital deficiencies. When he was born, he had to be trapped in an independent space because of the Shadow Demon.
This time, it was also thanks to the "God's blessing" of Shen Ao that he was given the opportunity to transform into a roc.
Suddenly, thunder roared, and the Nine Heavens Galaxy poured back into a waterfall, transforming into a pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth and pierced the center of the "Lake of Divine Tears." The Kun fish suddenly opened its huge eyes, and its golden pupils reflected a strange vision in the sky.
Then, the scales on the little Kun fish's body began to crack, and a faint blue light gushed out from the cracks like magma. The little Kun fish let out a dragon's roar that resonated throughout the seabed, its body thrashing violently in agony. The waters of the Divine Tears Lake were shattered, sending up immense waves. The detached scales didn't dissipate, but instead transformed into tiny specks of spiritual light that merged into the lake water, attracting countless spirit fish to follow the light and surrounding it in an ancient dance of blessing.
Su Xiaoya stared at the spiritual fish in the lake in amazement—Ice Soul Glazed Fish, Mysterious Frost Golden Thread Fish, Ice Flame Reverse Scale Fish, Cold Abyss Echo Fish…
The fish that Su Xiaoya could recognize were all spiritual fish that only lived in the mysterious water.
Reminiscent of the Mysterious Water Yin Lotus we saw earlier, the water in this entire "Divine Tears Lake" is all Mysterious Ice Water!
Sure enough, any ancient mythical beast possessed countless divine objects, which was breathtaking. Su Xiaoya was really eye-opening today.
Next, the skeleton of the little Kun fish is reshaped.
The spine of the little Kun fish grew higher and higher, making a crisp sound that made one's teeth ache. The originally round head gradually elongated, the snout became as sharp as a blade, and a pair of majestic jade horns grew on its forehead.
The most amazing thing is the change in the dorsal fin of the small Kun fish. Two fleshy wings break out from the body on both sides of the spine. At first, they are as transparent as gauze, gently stretching out in the sea water. In a blink of an eye, they grow to a size that covers the sky and the sun. Star pattern patterns corresponding to the starry sky emerge on the wing membrane.
Is this the cloud whose wings seem to hang down from the sky?
A ray of golden light pierced the mysterious water and shone upon the young Kun fish, signaling the crucial stage of its transformation. The Kun fish vigorously flapped its newly formed fleshy wings, its massive body slowly ascending. With every inch of ascent, the mysterious water automatically retreated to its sides. The pelvic fins, which had accompanied it for millennia, began to erode, transforming into cyan feathers that covered its wings. From wing root to wing tip, the feathers grew in layers, gleaming with a metallic sheen.
As it neared the lake's surface, it suddenly accelerated and broke through the water. In an instant, the water split in two, and a streak of azure light shot straight up into the sky. As it hovered in the air, its fleshy wings transformed completely into feathers, its tail fins transformed into long tail feathers. Its three-thousand-foot-long body was enveloped in a rainbow of light, emitting a thousand-foot-long golden glow. Its original dark blue scales faded completely, replaced by a blanket of azure roc feathers, each feather imbued with the power of wind and thunder.
When the colorful rays of light faded, a giant roc took shape. It spread its wings, blocking out half the sky. The golden light drooping from its wingtips drew a beautiful rainbow in the sky as water droplets fell.
The Peng bird lifted its head and let out a clear cry. The sound waves transformed into tangible wind blades that tore through the clouds, causing the sky above to change color. It glanced down at the mountaintop that had trapped it and its mother for a hundred thousand years. A complex look flashed in its eyes, and then it flapped its wings and took off.
With a flap of its wings, the wind howled, the sea of clouds churned, and the icy waters stirred into a thousand waves. The giant roc flew through the layers of clouds, golden sunlight shone on its cyan wings, reflecting a dreamy halo. When it fully ascended into the sky, it grasped its claws in the air and unexpectedly caught two surging bolts of lightning. With a flick of its long tail, it soared deep into the clouds...
On the lake, only scattered spiritual light and gradually calming waves remained. Only the black ice spirit fish that witnessed the transformation knew that from this day on, the world had lost a deep-dwelling Kun fish and gained a great Peng that soared 3,000 miles across the water. And the shadow of its wings, spanning heaven and earth, would become the eternal legend of the Kun's transformation into Peng.
Su Xiaoya, who watched the whole process of Kun transforming into Peng, recalled the shocking scene and felt full of emotion.
At this time, the old man with white hair, white eyebrows, white beard and white robes, who was transformed from the divine tortoise, reappeared. He looked at Su Xiaoya gently and said, "Thank you, many cultivators of the human race and Princess Kunming, for persisting for several years to help me be reborn."
Su Xiaoya waved her hand quickly, "Senior Shen'ao, you're too polite. I'm honored to witness such a marvelous sight." After a brief pause, Su Xiaoya continued, "I too am the heir to the faith of the human race's Mahayana cultivators, who have continued to sacrifice themselves. Truly speaking, it is because of your help from Heaven that the human race and all other races have been able to continue their bloodline."
Shen Ao nodded slightly in agreement. The human race truly was a race that knew how to be grateful. Therefore, even if he sacrificed his limbs and most of his divine power, he would not regret it!
Shen Ao looked at Su Xiaoya gently and said, "I am grateful for the kindness of the human race and would like to give you something." After that, he raised his hand and waved it, and a spiritual bead emitting a soft light appeared in front of Su Xiaoya.
"This is the 'Infinite Mysterious Ice Pearl'. It can help you cultivate and keep you safe. Of course, I have another favor to ask of you. Could you please help me?"
Su Xiaoya was surprised and delighted. She bowed respectfully and accepted it: "Thank you for the gift, Senior! You said that as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation."
It's no wonder that Su Xiaoya was surprised. This "Wuji Xuanbingzhu" was the "Water Spirit", one of the four legendary innate spirits. It represented the most yin and cold water and contained infinite cold energy.
Shen Ao accepted Su Xiaoya's greeting with a smile. He knew that this girl was knowledgeable and would not let the precious pearl be tarnished. He stroked his beard with satisfaction and said:
"The 'Infinite Mysterious Ice Pearl' has been with me since the dawn of time, and therefore it also records all the efforts made by the human race's Mahayana cultivators to resurrect me. I hope you can find the right opportunity and place to paint the entire process into a mural, pass it down to future generations, and allow them to receive some incense."
After saying this, Shen Ao didn't even wait for Su Xiaoya to answer before his figure gradually dissipated.
Well!
God, are all of us so capricious?
