Chapter 1197 - 623: Ancient Dragon Emperor, The Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate!

"Eh?"

"Is this the National Treasure Jade Seal?"

"Although the Great Yan Royal Family has lost the Celestial Mandate, this jade seal has been nurtured by the Imperial Dynasty's Fortune for years, so it barely counts as a treasure."

"If you're willing to spend a great deal, injecting a large amount of fortune into it, you might be able to restore its power."

"Eh? This black coffin has quite a background; it can actually lock space-time, bringing time to an almost standstill status?"

"Could it be the treasure some old monster uses to prolong its life?"

The Destiny Golden Dragon couldn't help but speak hurriedly.

It seemed to have an unusual love for treasure hunting and appraising.

When it got excited.

It simply let go of Lu Yuan's wrist, transformed into a ray of golden light, and flew around the cave, constantly introducing the origins of various treasures to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was more than happy to relax, following behind the Destiny Golden Dragon, continually collecting various treasures and greatly expanding his knowledge.

"Lu Yuan, quick! Quick!"

"I found the Great Flame Ancestor's most treasured item!"

The urgent urging of the Destiny Golden Dragon suddenly came from a study room ahead.

Lu Yuan quickly stepped forward into the study and saw a painting hanging on the wall.

The painting depicted dark clouds, thunder, and lightning.

Torrential rain poured down from the sky, seemingly capable of submerging the entire world.

Below the sky was an endless sea.

The dark, ink-like seawater roiled violently, stirring up huge waves and storms as if capable of overturning the entire world.

Yet amidst the vast sea, there stood an ancient gate as tall as the sky, like a towering mountain, steadfast against the raging waves.

No matter how fiercely the tsunamis crashed, this ancient gate stood unshakable.

Amid the surging waters, numerous aquatic race beings swam against the current, enduring countless hardships to reach the gateway.

Then they used all their strength to leap high from the water, attempting to cross that gateway!

"Is this... the Carp Leaping Dragon Gate Painting?"

"And that gate, could it be the legendary Dragon Gate?"

Lu Yuan's thoughts stirred as he speculated about the origin of the painting based on the scenes within.

However, the Destiny Golden Dragon shook its head repeatedly and quickly spoke up.

"This painting is not as simple as you think. Look closely, very closely, you'll definitely find unexpected gains!"

As the Destiny Golden Dragon spoke, it flew back and forth in front of the painting, eager to jump right into it.

"Look closely?"

Hearing the words of the Destiny Golden Dragon, Lu Yuan did not act rashly.

Instead, he carefully sensed it, confirming there was no danger, and then focused his mind on observing again.

This time, he emptied all distracting thoughts, immersing all his concentration within the painting, and soon noticed something different.

When Lu Yuan focused all his attention on the painting, the scenes in the painting grew larger and larger, eventually transmitting a pulling force that directly drew his Divine Thought into the painting, making him a part of it!

Lu Yuan observed himself, discovering he had transformed into a small fish struggling in the turbulent seawater.

His flesh body was weak, only palm-sized, likely to be crushed to pieces by any wave at any moment.

Yet, driven by a strong instinct within.

He swam with the other biological beings of the sea race, racing to the Dragon Gate.

Along the journey.

Through countless dangers and hardships, the small fish formed by Lu Yuan's Divine Thought finally neared the ancient gateway.

Ultimately, using every ounce of its life's strength, it leaped from the water, striving to cross the Dragon Gate.

But the Dragon Gate was as tall as the sky, at least tens of thousands of feet high.

In contrast.

The small fish of Lu Yuan's Divine Thought was only palm-sized, making the leap over the Dragon Gate feel as impossible as ascending to the heavens!

It was akin to an ant trying to leap over a skyscraper hundreds of meters tall, simply impossible.

Not just for Lu Yuan, even those powerful biological beings of the sea race were knocked back into the water by monstrous waves as soon as they leaped into the air.

Despite expending all his strength, Lu Yuan's leaps only reached one or two meters before he grew tired and fell back into the water.

But he did not get discouraged; after a brief rest, accumulating enough power, he continued to try again.

Failing repeatedly, he kept trying.

When hungry, he ate small fishes and shrimps; when tired, he hid in seabed caves to rest for a while.

As time went by.

Lu Yuan gradually forgot his identity, truly becoming a small fish.

His only goal in this life was to leap over the Dragon Gate!

However, after countless failures, his power grew stronger.

At first.

His size was only palm-sized, much like a small carp for sale at the market.

But as he frantically consumed food, his size grew larger, evolving from consuming seaweed and small shrimp, to finger-sized fish, then to large aquatic biological beings.

Eventually.

Even massive whales, the size of mountains, he could swallow in one gulp.

Unconsciously.

He had become the overlord of this sea!

Until one day.

Lu Yuan looked at the Dragon Gate as tall as the sky and gathered all his power, leaping from the water once more.

His colossal body erupted with unparalleled power, sinking the sea surface momentarily!

Pushed by this strength.

His body, larger than a mountain, was now as light as a feather, soaring high from the water into the clouds.

The once unreachable Dragon Gate was suddenly within reach!

Finally, using every bit of his strength, he laboriously leaped over the Dragon Gate!

At the moment he crossed the Dragon Gate, it seemed as though some Law descended.
