My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"Senior!"

"I feel so powerful!"

As the true dragon aura entered his body, chubby fella's eyes lit up with joy. He quickly expressed his gratitude to Gu Lan. Nearby, Ning Guang, the leader of the Mermaid Clan, also sensed that strand of true dragon aura. Her eyes widened as she looked at Gu Lan.

Such pure true dragon aura!

This was the mark of a True Dragon Blessing!

So, Senior was the one who activated the Dragon Sovereign Order!

Does this mean that Senior possesses the same true dragon bloodline as the Dragon Clan?

Senior is a Human Clan cultivator, yet he has such a powerful true dragon bloodline; could he be of royal lineage?

Ning Guang's mind raced with speculations, and her respect for Gu Lan rose to the level of the Dragon Sovereign. The fact that he was willing to bestow such precious true dragon aura on an ordinary chubby fish greatly impressed her. It's worth noting that True Dragon Blessing can only be granted once every millennium.

The only one to successfully leap the Dragon Gate and become the Dragon Steed Clan leader had been a loyal follower of the Dragon Sovereign.

This illustrated just how significant Gu Lan's gesture was.

"You mentioned earlier that you wanted to leap the Dragon Gate. Now you can give it a try," said Gu Lan, unaware of Ning Guang's thoughts. He simply wanted chubby fella to take a chance. Having true dragon aura didn't guarantee success in leaping the Dragon Gate. The final outcome still depended on chubby fella himself. Nonetheless, Gu Lan was there to ensure that chubby fella wouldn't face any danger.

"Okay!"

"With Senior's blessing, I feel I can succeed!"

Chubby fella was now brimming with confidence. He focused intently on the Dragon Gate above the sea, and as soon as the current Ocean Clan member attempting the trial failed, he reverted to his true form. A massive chubby fish leaped out of the sea, swiftly propelling itself towards the Dragon Gate.

The process was remarkably smooth. Perhaps due to the Senior's blessing, he felt that the pressure from the Dragon Gate had lessened, and the physical pain was manageable.

Countless Ocean Clan members watched in astonishment. They saw chubby fella begin to receive the Dragon Gate's baptism, and colorful scales started to form on his chubby fish head.

That's… a Dragon's Counterscale!

This little chubby fish actually passed the second stage!

"Senior's true dragon aura has such a profound effect; even the True Dragon Blessing didn't work this well!"

Ning Guang, the Mermaid Clan leader, was stunned. The Dragon Steed Clan leader's leap through the Dragon Gate years ago hadn't gone as smoothly as this. Could Senior's true dragon bloodline be even purer than the Dragon Sovereign's?

"Chubby fella is doing quite well."

Gu Lan was pleased. He noticed that his true dragon aura was highly effective, but it was also due to chubby fella's innate talent and potential to transform into a dragon that this effect manifested so well.

Above the sea, chubby fella began to undergo the third stage: restructuring his flesh and blood, refining true dragon blood, and starting to transform into a dragon.

Just moments ago, the Yaksha Clan warrior had failed at this very stage. Restructuring flesh and blood was bearable, but refining true dragon blood was a trial for the soul—a pain beyond imagination. The primary benefit of the True Dragon Blessing was its aid during this stage.

The true dragon aura could accelerate the process of refining true dragon blood, helping the blessed Ocean Clan member quickly complete the transformation.

At this point, all the Ocean Clan members wore expressions of disbelief. They watched as the little chubby fish within the Dragon Gate condensed a drop of golden true dragon blood at a visible pace. Then, a shiny golden dragon horn sprouted from his round, chubby head.

The fish leaped through the Dragon Gate and successfully transformed into a dragon!

Could it really be this easy?

Even the True Dragon Blessing didn't make it look this simple!

"Did I actually leap through the Dragon Gate? Did I succeed?"

At this moment, chubby fella stood outside the Dragon Gate, having reverted to his humanoid form. He still appeared as a chubby child, but now exuded an aura of the Dragon Clan, radiating nobility.

He found it hard to believe he had succeeded in leaping through the Dragon Gate so easily. Through all three stages of the trial, he had relied entirely on Gu Lan's true dragon aura.

Realizing this, chubby fella transformed into a streak of golden light and landed before Gu Lan.

"Senior's blessing, a kindness beyond words. Chubby fella pledges eternal loyalty to Senior!"

He was visibly excited, respectfully performing the grandest gesture of respect of the Ocean Clan before Gu Lan.

Gu Lan accepted it calmly. He deserved this level of gratitude.

Beside them, Ning Guang of the Mermaid Clan wore a joyful expression. Now that the Dragon Gate had manifested in the mortal world and a member of the Ocean Clan had successfully leaped through, becoming a true Dragon Clan member, the calamities of the Myriad Clans of East Sea would slowly dissipate. A Dragon Clan member possessing true dragon blood would have a profound impact on the Ocean Clan.

As long as chubby fella continued to cultivate diligently, he would undoubtedly lead the chubby fish tribe to become one of the top Ocean Clans in the East Sea. There was even the possibility of him becoming a Dragon Sovereign. This was the providence bestowed upon him by leaping through the Dragon Gate, akin to the ascension of a mortal into immortality in Daoist terms.

Other Ocean Clan members finally understood this. Little chubby fella had received an immense stroke of luck, acquiring the legendary True Dragon Blessing.

For a powerful individual willing to use True Dragon Blessing, they naturally held great respect.

"Continue to cultivate diligently and safeguard the East Sea," Gu Lan said, patting chubby fella's shoulder. He then disappeared from there and reappeared in front of the Yaksha Clan members.

His gaze fell upon the Yaksha Clan warrior who had just failed to leap through the Dragon Gate.

Previously, in the face of threats from extraterrestrial entities, the Yaksha Clan had never surrendered, which Gu Lan admired.

Even with timely treatment and the consumption of many elixirs, it would be almost impossible for this Yaksha Clan warrior to completely recover his former cultivation level.

"Senior, there's no need to intervene and waste precious resources. He has reached the third stage of the Dragon Gate trial, which is already a source of pride for our Yaksha Clan. I am proud of him!" the Yaksha Clan leader politely declined Gu Lan's offer, having already been saved by him before and thus not wanting to owe him further.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lan smiled. Such straightforward individuals were rare in the mortal realm. Since the other party refused his assistance, he was even more inclined to offer it. These kinds of debts were true debts of gratitude.

Gu Lan's figure flickered, and with a touch of his finger, he instantly infused the unconscious Yaksha Clan warrior with true dragon aura. The injuries caused by condensing the true dragon blood began to slowly ease.

The Dragon's Counterscale on the warrior's forehead emitted a dazzling light, wrapping around him and gently carrying him towards the Dragon Gate.

"Second leap through the Dragon Gate!"

"This is True Dragon Blessing!"

The Yaksha Clan leader was initially shocked, then overwhelmed with joy. He had never imagined that Gu Lan could perform True Dragon Blessing once more, granting a tremendous stroke of luck to the Yaksha Clan.
