The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 310 - Awakening

"His expression was so peaceful when passing away..." Xiu'er had seen everything from the start up to this time. When he saw the dying old man, he couldn't help but remember his own grandfather on her mother's side.

That was the same expression when he passed away, filled with satisfaction.

Xiu'er brushed off this thought immediately. Now was not the time to think about this. He walked up to Jin Rou and said, "You defeated him."

"Yes, obviously." Jin Rou laughed, "However, it took me more effort than I anticipated."

This was true. Though Jin Rou didn't dare to underestimate his opponent, the fact remained that he took longer to kill the progenitor. Well, this wasn't surprising at all. Since progenitors and true gods were only one level below the zenith, it was understandable that they could put up a proper fight against zeniths.

Of course, if the progenitor fought with a stronger zenith, like Jin Rou's grandmother, the result would be better.

Well, this was a good practice for Jin Rou and fighting someone this strong had thrilled him. So it was a good thing all in all.

"So? Now that the old man is no longer here, what are we going to do?" Xiu'er said with curiosity, "You said that you would awaken my bloodline here. However, I don't see how will we succeed that."

"Of course, that's the reason why we came here." Jin Rou answered, "Then, let's begin."

Jin Rou walked towards the rock of the falls. Then, he touched it resulting in a blinding light. The light illuminated all the remaining darkness lurking this place, completely annihilating them. Furthermore, the light brought so much comfort to them as if they were baptized and refreshed.

"Whoosh!" Soon, the drained falls had suddenly flowed out flood-like current of water from the peak. The current was so intense that any normal person might be pulverized because of the great force.

"..." Xiu'er didn't know what to say. The falls had been drained and dry for ten thousands of years, yet now, with just a touch of Jin Rou, the vitality of the falls returned.

How magical was that? Jin Rou always surprise him with all kinds of miracle. Perhaps, in this world only Jin Rou was capable of this. Even the legendary figures might not be able to pull this feat.

Jin Rou smiled and looked at the shocked child, "Xiu'er, come here. You need to meditate under this falls to awaken your bloodline."

"You want me to go under that powerful current?" Xiu'er was stupefied, "I might not last for a minute before I die there."

"What are you talking about?" Jin Rou chuckled, "I'm here so nothing will happen to you."

This time, Xiu'er realized this point that he didn't think of. That's right, with Jin Rou here, what's there to be afraid of? This falls was completely under control and safe as long as Jin Rou was around.

Thus, he didn't hesitate any longer and walk towards the massive and bone-chilling water current. Then, he put himself under and gritted his teeth for the incoming pain.

However, the expected pain didn't come at all and instead he felt himself lighter. He didn't ask any questions and sat in a lotus position, meditating. Though Xiu'er was too young for this, with Jin Rou here, he was safe and could focus all his strength towards his awakening.

Jin Rou just sat nearby and observed the happenings. Everything was already in its place. All he needed to do was wait for Xiu'er to awaken his dragon bloodline.

The emperor of the dragon clan and his progenitors had already arrived at the vicinity of the drained falls. However, they suddenly stopped their tracks for a reason.

"What is this barrier...?" The emperor gasped in surprise. This was the first time he saw this kind of large barrier. In afar, the barrier wasn't visible so they weren't aware. However in the nearsight, they could clearly see it as a day, albeit transparently clear.

The emperor tried many offensive systems to break the barrier but to no avail. His emperors had also tried their best but they got the same result, all were in vain.

Take note, these were all attacks from progenitors, eternals and myriads. But the barrier wasn't even scratched. This proved the defensive capability of it.

The emperor wanted to enter it. After all, his heart was very anxious and wanted to get the answer to his questions. With how powerful the force a while ago, it surely came from beings of immortal progenitors.

An uninvited immortal progenitor had came into their turf, so why would the emperor not worry?

"It seems all we can do is to wait until this barrier release itself." Heartdragon Progenitor, one of the progenitors of the dragon clan, suggested, "Unless the activator deactivate this, we don't have a chance on entering."

The emperor nodded. Indeed, they were powerless against this barrier so all they could do was wait. Furthermore, they could make ample preparations in case of the worst-case scenario.

"Let's make a formation." The emperor said, "At least hundreds of formations all around this barrier. We needed to ensure that in case that entity inside was still alive, we could fight it."

The progenitors nodded and immediately set up formations according to the emperor's instructions. After a few hours, they finished it and looked at the barrier, waiting for it to open.

---

"Raaah!" Inside the barrier, a white dragon with sharp scales could be seen under the falls. Though it was still small, its beastly eyes could already penetrate the clouds. It flew into the sky and descended.

It soon turned into a small child with a tender look. There were still some scales on his cheeks but this was quite normal.

"Congratulations." Jin Rou applauded, "You have become a dragon now, for real."

"Thank... you." Xiu'er stuttered. He didn't expect to get so many blessing in just days. It felt like their ancestors had saved the world in their past lives, and now he was reaping their just harvest, their karmic cycle.

"It's no big deal." Jin Rou shook his head. He was very happy to lend a hand to this child and wasn't expecting anything in return even in the near future.

As long as he didn't take the wrong path, then Jin Rou could already consider everything paid.
