Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 1401 - 37: Child of Fortune, Daluo Realm
System prompt: You have successfully refined the Ancestor Dragon Essence and acquired the transformation skill [Ancestor Holy Dragon Incarnation]...
Success.
Feeling the surging power of the Ancestor Dragon within, Xiao Jie felt unprecedentedly powerful. It was an indescribable sense of fullness, a power vast as the ocean, as if with a wave of his hand he could move the Heaven and Earth Laws, a power from the Ancient Holy Spirit.
Xiao Jie lifted his hand lightly, and the barren wasteland before him rumbled and rose up, forming an enormous perilous peak towering ten thousand meters high under the urging of his mind.
Such powerful strength from just a small test of his skills! Xiao Jie was indescribably excited.
However, although he had gained this power, he had not truly reached the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal.
The Ancestor Dragon Essence was merely a "key", the real "door" was still with his master.

"Good disciple! Did you really defeat that Ancestor Dragon Relic?" Sun Xiaotian’s eyes widened as his furry face got close to Xiao Jie, his tone full of disbelief, "That thing is extremely powerful! Even I wouldn’t dare provoke it easily!"
Xiao Jie smiled slightly, the power of the Ancestor Dragon circulating quietly within, and Sun Xiaotian immediately sensed the overwhelming change in Xiao Jie’s aura. He beamed with joy, baring his teeth as he patted Xiao Jie on the shoulder: "Good, good, good! As expected of my disciple! No wonder you have such skills! Now the Daluo Immortal Position is within grasp!"
His happiness provoked mocking laughter from the World-destroying Demon Child and the Three-eyed Demon Monarch nearby.
"What are you so smug about?" Li Xiaoyi crossed his arms, rolled his eyes disdainfully, "My young master’s disciple advanced to Daluo just a month ago! Your disciple? Only just barely touched the edge!"
"Indeed." Zhao Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor calm, "My disciple also advanced half a month ago. You... haha."
"You’re speaking without any consideration!" Sun Xiaotian was instantly anxious, stomping his feet and saying, "Your disciples started with the strength of a Peak Heavenly Immortal, unlike mine who climbed up slowly from an Earth Immortal! Speaking of progress, mine is no slower than yours!"
"Haha," Li Xiaoyi laughed sarcastically, "Whatever you say. A bet’s a bet—the position of Heavenly Emperor is mine!"
Xiao Jie was speechless.
These fellows, they were betting on us players, weren’t they?
Though not stated outright, he could hear clearly—the three likely bet on which of their disciples would become a Daluo Golden Immortal first. Whoever’s disciple succeeded first would be the "Heavenly Emperor".
The problem is...
"Master," Xiao Jie couldn’t help but speak, "aren’t you celebrating a bit too early? The Nine Heavens Divine Court is in such a state, how can you assume the title of Heavenly Emperor?"
"Haha, you don’t understand, do you?" Sun Xiaotian shook his head smugly, "Old Tongtian is the most cunning. Since he calculated you could save the world and recreate the universe, it means you definitely can!"
He wore a confident smile on his face, "Once the Saint Fragments are gathered and the heavens and earth recreated, everything will start anew. The former Heavenly Emperor rose to power just because he was born early and took the initiative. Now, with the recreation of heaven and earth, all beings will evolve from the beginning, and we three will be the first Immortals to open the heavens and earth! Naturally, the position of Heavenly Emperor belongs to us!"
"Otherwise, wouldn’t all this effort be in vain? Unfortunately, you, young man, haven’t been very promising, taking so long to step into the Daluo Realm. It seems this Heavenly Emperor position might have to go to that little rascal."
Li Xiaoyi showed a mischievous smile: "You still dare call me a rascal? When I’m the Heavenly Emperor, I’ll charge you with gross disrespect."
Xiao Jie looked at the World-destroying Demon Child Li Xiaoyi’s arrogant "I’m number one" demeanor and couldn’t help but inwardly criticize—this guy as the Heavenly Emperor? That would be quite the spectacle. However, the Three-eyed Demon Monarch Zhao Yu, though he didn’t say much, had a calm demeanor and an extraordinary presence befitting a king.
But he naturally had no interest in getting involved in such matters. Whoever becomes the Heavenly Emperor, what does it matter to him, a player?
"Master, let’s not get into that," Xiao Jie said seriously, "I’ve refined the Ancestor Dragon Essence and gained the power of the Ancestor Holy Dragon. Yet I am not a Daluo. What should I do next?"
Sun Xiaotian put away his playful demeanor and looked at him seriously:
"Naturally, you must fully master this power."
He stood with his hands behind his back, speaking slowly: "The Ancestor Dragon is an Ancient Saint—although not truly a Saint, it’s nearly the same. Its essence naturally contains such potential. What you need to do now is fully incarnate as the Ancestor Holy Dragon, unleashing all the potential in that bloodline. Thus, you may naturally reach the Daluo Realm.
If your incarnation becomes Daluo, you naturally become Daluo."
"As for how to cultivate—I have here the [Hongmeng Dao Scripture], granted to me by my master back then."
He paused, a trace of recollection flashing in his eyes: "My master told me that I was a Chaos-born Demon Ape, with endless innate potential. But to fully realize this potential, one needs ’to govern the path with law, nourish the body with the path, awaken the mind, and transform into the universe.’ You are in the same situation as I was, possessing extraordinary potential, perfectly suited for cultivating this Cultivation Technique."
He handed the Jade Scroll to Xiao Jie, his expression solemn:
"However—laws are not to be passed on to a third ear. Lend me your ear, and I’ll explain it to you in detail."
