Shen Yuan’s gaze swiveled up to the soaring black flood dragon in the sky.
In his line of sight, although the dragon’s body was huge, its slender figure showed no sign of being unbearably heavy, its scales minutely detailed and stately.
However, one thing struck Shen Yuan as strange: the small scales on the black flood dragon seemed to be coated with some sort of sticky substance, giving it a weirdly slippery feel.
Seeing this, Shen Yuan immediately thought of Yu Changliu referring to Fubo Dragon Monarch as an old loach. It seems that the residual mucus has something to do with his original body of a loach.
Upon thinking about this, Shen Yuan suddenly realized that while there were various different Animal-Awakened water monsters on the side of the Aquatic Tribe, he hadn’t seen a single loach from the beginning to the end.
“It seems that this Fubo Dragon Monarch doesn’t quite care for his own kind.”
An interesting thought flickered through his mind, but the appearance of Fubo Dragon Monarch still caused a stir in the crowd.
“Greetings, Dragon Sovereign!”
“Greetings, Fubo Dragon Monarch!”
Long live the Dragon Sovereign!”
A multitude of creatures from the monster tribe saluted the black flood dragon in the sky and praised the name of “Fubo Dragon Monarch.”
However, it was quite clear that these creatures of the monster tribe had not rehearsed their greetings in unison, their rambunctious cheers gave the so-called Dragon Sovereign Banquet the appearance of a chaotic gathering of demons.
The cultivators of the Human Clan watched the spectacle before them, pale-faced, increasingly regretting their decision to participate in this so-called Dragon Sovereign Banquet.
Under these circumstances, there was no one who had the mind to notice Shen Yuan and Hoe Yao, the two were happy with the peace and sat at the edge of the platform, keeping the entire Fubo Pond in their sights.
Despite the chaotic scene, Fubo Dragon Monarch appeared to be quite satisfied.
The slender body of the black flood dragon descended from the sky, transforming into a figure of the local deity with a human body and a dragon head, and took his seat at the front of the platform.
As Fubo Dragon Monarch took his seat, small demons started carrying large trays to each platform, serving up the “delicacies” of this Dragon Sovereign Banquet.
These included but were not limited to steaming fast food fried chicken, preheated meal packs that were served along with their packaging, bottled soda, and cheap liquor.
Despite being mentally prepared, the sight of these so-called delicacies at the Dragon Sovereign Banquet still caused Shen Yuan’s eye to twitch unintentionally.
The only thing that could be considered out of the ordinary was the Spirit Fruit that the small demons served. Although they were not some unusual treasures with special effects, they were brimming with Spirit Energy.
Ordinary people who consumed them would have a chance to reach the
Essence Refining Stage through breathing exercises. In human society, these were valuable treasures that money couldn’t buy.
Many cultivators of the Human Clan didn’t have the heart to eat these Spirit Fruits upon seeing them, but instead chose to carry them and planned to sell them in the city after leaving.
The members of the monster tribe and the Aquatic Tribe, seeing this scene, laughed aloud while eating their junk food:
“The humans are such bumpkins, they ignore all these delicious foods and direct their attention to a few poor fruits.”
To the water tribe and monsters, most monsters rarely have the chance to enter human territory. The heavily flavored food of humans was absolutely a novelty to them.
As for these Spirit Fruits, although rare, the monsters capable of attending the banquet were not the lowest-ranking small demons, and they were not lacking in spirit energy.
They mocked each other for treating what they discarded as valueless as treasures, making this Dragon Sovereign Banquet seem absurd and ridiculous.
Fubo Dragon Monarch was quite pleased with the current situation. In his view, such feedback unequivocally demonstrated his prestige as a Dragon Sovereign.
Just then, at the front of the several platforms, a human-shaped giant crab demon stood up and bowed to Fubo Dragon Monarch, saying:
“I have heard that Fubo Dragon Monarch controls the Natural Spirit Pool and I came to participate in the Dragon Sovereign Banquet because I wanted to use it. I wonder if the Dragon Monarch can grant this request?”
fubo Dragon Monarch laughed heartily and said: “Why not?”
As soon as his voice fell, Fubo Dragon Monarch waved his hand. The water in the Fubo Pond below rolled like boiling water, and then a rich spirit energy rose to the sky.
A small pool with a large lotus platform as the base appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
This small pool was not large, not even comparable to a small swimming pool, but the slowly flowing droplets of water in it seemed to gather the essence of countless nature’s spiritual energies.
Just by being exposed to the air, the rich spirit energy constantly penetrated into the pores. Bathing in the spirit energy seemed to make people feel like they could ascend to a divine state.
At this moment, the creatures of the monster tribe who had previously mocked other small demons as bumpkins also widened their eyes, trying hard to swallow such a strong spirit energy.
Human cultivators also sat cross-legged, beginning to refine their Essence Elements.
Meanwhile, the monsters of Qi Transformation Stage and the deities of the
Aquatic Tribe in front couldn’t help swallowing their saliva, their eyes displaying their greed.
Fubo Dragon Monarch managed to ascend and become a Great Cultivating
Demon because of his successful transformation into a flood dragon and with the aid of this Natural Spirit Pool.
“If only I had this Natural Spirit Pool…”
I his thought flitted across the minds of many monsters at the Qi Transformation Stage.
“Step forward!”
Fubo Dragon Monarch gave the orders to the anthropomorphic crab demon.
The anthropomorphic crab demon immediately responded and stepped onto the floating lotus platform.
He was only in there for a few short minutes, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, the crab demon completed the Essence Refining to Qi Transformation right under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The crab demon stepped out of the Spirit Pool, with a face full of joy, and bowed to Fubo Dragon Monarch, saying:
1 hank you, Dragon Monarch, for helping me ascend to the Qi Transformation Stage!”
With those words, the entire Dragon Sovereign Banquet was instantly set off.
It should be known that the vast majority of small demons participating in the
Dragon Sovereign Banquet were only at the Essence Refining Stage, and they had an uncontrollable desire to advance.
“Dragon Monarch, I dare to apply to use the Natural Spirit Pool!”
“Dragon Monarch, pick me, pick me!”
Many monsters cried out in desperation, and even the previously fearful human cultivators were actively calling out the name of the Dragon Sovereign, hoping for a chance to use the Natural Spirit Pool.
Hoe Yao beside Shen Yuan also showed signs of temptation. He was about to stand up and speak when Shen Yuan’s voice rang out.
“I’d advise you not to waste your effort. You’re not likely to borrow the Natural
Spirit Pool.”
“Why?” Hoe Yao looked puzzled.
“While the Natural Spirit Pool is indeed powerful, it is not possible to elevate a monster who has absolutely no foundation to the Qi Transformation Stage.
The crab demon had already reached the Peak Stage of Essence Refining before entering the Natural Spirit Pool. He simply hid his level, so his advancement to the Qi I ransformation Stage was only to be expected.”
Hoe Yao’s eyes widened immediately.
“Are you saying…that crab demon is a plant from Fubo Dragon Monarch?”
Shen Yuan gave Hoe Yao a meaningful look.
“Fubo Dragon Monarch’s plant is more than just a single crab demon.”
No sooner had his voice fallen than a clear voice drowned out the clamorous shouts of the multitude of monsters from the platform.
“Liu Yao is willing to offer a magical treasure to Fubo Dragon Monarch, hoping to borrow the use of the Natural Spirit Pool!”
