I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?
Chapter Summary
Li Xuan watched Yu Xiaolong and couldn't help shaking his head; he was indeed clever, using the Great Demon Method to exchange a drop of True Dragon blood from Ao Yuxue, which led to his transformation into a True Dragon. However, ultimately he was not a born True Dragon but rather one whose bloodline had evolved later in life, hence he had lost some of the special abilities of True Dragons, such as the ability to transform into human form. "Being a True Dragon, once you comprehend the Great Dem...
As Ao Yuxue had said, he had transformed into a True Dragon, but he still couldn't shapeshift.
"Off you go, you mongrel dragon!
"Ao Yuxue waved her hand to shoo him away.
Yu Xiaolong left, feeling depressed.
He resolved to continue consolidating his realm, and once it was fully consolidated, he could return to the Nine Mountain Realm and attempt to contend for the position of Great Demon King.

Moreover, he would still be suppressed by Ao Yuxue.
"Challenge Red Cat for the Great Demon King position?
That's just asking for a beating!
"Li Xuan shook his head; Yu Xiaolong had indeed become much stronger after transforming into a True Dragon and had a significant deterrence over spirit beasts.
Nonetheless, to contend with Red Cat, he was still far from an equal match.
Red Cat's strength had improved a lot.
As the top Great Demon, he possessed some special abilities, and if Yu Xiaolong challenged Red Cat, he was bound to be beaten quite miserably.
"Xin Mengrou returned to the Taimiao Realm, huh?
With my guidance, she should have been able to integrate the Illusionary Path with the Supreme Sovereign Path, right?
"Li Xuan looked up towards a certain area of the Dao Realm.
"Xiaoyao is indeed extraordinary, no wonder he's known as the leader of the Taicang Seven Heroes.
"Li Xuan then glanced towards where Old Man Xiao was in seclusion.
Old Man Xiao was pondering the Heavenly Dao and had made some achievements.
However, he was still very far from breaking through his limitations and paving the way forward, but he had ultimately seen hope.
This meant that understanding the Heavenly Dao and cultivating it was the correct path.
One could imagine how excited Old Man Xiao was.
The Taicang Seven Heroes were once the renowned prodigies of the Taicang Domain and had received Taicang's personal guidance.
Although Taicang never formally took them as disciples, they could nonetheless be regarded as Taicang's students.
Old Man Xiao was the leader of the Taicang Seven Heroes, the foremost among the second generation of strong individuals.
Now, of the Taicang Seven Heroes, aside from Old Man Xiao, only one other remained within the Taicang Domain.
The whereabouts of the other five, whether dead or alive, were unknown, and Li Xuan naturally did not concern himself with these matters.
"Warriors will soon arrive in the Dao Realm.
"Li Xuan looked towards the location of the Taihe Realm.
The tremors from the fall of the Earth Shadow Realm were starting to weaken, indicating that warriors from the Dao Realm were about to descend, including True Dragons.
Xu Yan's descent had caused quite a stir.
Li Xuan was not bothered by this.
Even if the True Dragon Realm Master himself were to come, Li Xuan could easily handle him; after all, he possessed the Xiang Long Dao.
Xiang Long, to him, was but a casual gesture.
Ao Yuxue shuffled over, looking timid and hesitant to speak.
Li Xuan smiled wryly, "If you have any questions, just ask!
""Thank you, Taoist Ancestor!
"Ao Yuxue was overjoyed and somewhat excited.
"I have some doubts about the Great Demon Technique; I've always been unable to grasp it fully and would like to ask the Taoist Ancestor for some guidance.
"Ao Yuxue looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"What are the doubts?
"Li Xuan smiled warmly.
"Well, I am a True Dragon, and the Great Demon Technique is indeed suitable for me, but I always seem to hit a bottleneck when I practice, unable to integrate it...
"Ao Yuxue explained the problems she encountered.
The True Dragon Clan had their own techniques, some of which, classified as natural abilities, were born from bloodline.
As Ao Yuxue was a Jade Snow True Dragon, her technique was frosty thunder, extraordinarily unique—her innate True Dragon ability.
Besides the innate abilities, the True Dragon Clan also had techniques that could be cultivated, created by the ancestor of True Dragons, Ao Hong.
After all, Ao Hong was the first intelligent being Taicang encountered; naturally, they exchanged thoughts, and thus began the creation of the True Dragon Techniques for their clan.
Yet the True Dragon Techniques were not like those of martial artists that could be practiced to advance through realms; the strength of a True Dragon was tied to their bloodline.
The higher the quality of the bloodline, the stronger the dragon, and True Dragon Techniques were more akin to combat or defensive techniques.
They were similar to martial artists' martial skills and secret techniques, whereas the Great Demon Method was something that could be practiced and improved, unrestricted by bloodline.
As long as one had enough talent, insight, or even diligence, building up strength over time, they could continuously grow stronger.
This was why Ao Yuxue was willing to exchange a drop of True Dragon blood for the Great Demon Method from Yu Xiaolong.
As for Ao Yuxue's doubts, Li Xuan did know some of the reasons.
It was simply that Ao Yuxue was too powerful, even stronger than the present Red Cat.
The Great Demon Technique, as perceived by Red Cat, had a clear direction of cultivation but was still bound by some limitations, making it difficult to surpass Red Cat's current realm.
After all, even Red Cat had not yet cultivated the more profound Great Demon Technique.
Moreover, Ao Yuxue was a True Dragon, and to cultivate the Great Demon Method, it required time to settle down; it couldn't be achieved in one fell swoop.
"Settle down, don't rush to achieve success, from beginning to end, thoroughly comprehend the Great Demon Method, like the Great Demon patterns, start with the first one and slowly integrate it into yourself.
""Once you have thoroughly comprehended its mysteries, you will naturally be able to combine and understand it as one.
In practising a technique, avoid impatience," Li Xuan said with a smile.
"I understand!
"Ao Yuxue pondered for a moment, then nodded respectfully.
"Since you wish to cultivate the Great Demon Martial Arts, you should start from the beginning, polish the Great Demon foundation, and once enough has settled, the time will be ripe for a breakthrough.
"The Law of Great Demon Martial Arts, whether for True Spirits or Spirit Beasts, the Great Demon Technique they cultivate are all unique.
"Being a True Dragon, once you comprehend the Great Demon Martial Arts, you may try to integrate your innate skills into the Great Demon Martial Arts, and you will naturally cultivate, a Divine Ability unique to you," Li Xuan instructed Ao Yuxue.
"Many thanks, Taoist Ancestor!
"Overjoyed, Ao Yuxue respectfully retreated and then entered closed-door cultivation to ponder the Great Demon Martial Arts.
"It's about to happen!
"Li Xuan looked towards Xu Yan's closed-door cultivation spot full of anticipation.
"Huh, there seems to be a somewhat capable fellow arriving, and what is that by his side?
A True Spirit?
This True Spirit is quite interesting.
"Li Xuan suddenly directed his gaze towards the Taihe Realm.
Just now, an unfamiliar powerhouse had stepped into the Divine Realm.
Coming from the Earth Shadow Realm, the Earth Shadow Realm was still trembling.
Theoretically, it should be impossible to pass through the Earth Shadow Realm and descend into the Divine Realm.
Yet the individual had arrived ahead of time, clearly possessing some special method that allowed them to smoothly transit through the Earth Shadow Realm without being obstructed by its Principles.
"Skilled in stealth and hiding, accompanied by a special True Spirit, these must be people from the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, and their strength is not weak.
Could they be targeting me?
" Li Xuan pondered thoughtfully.
The strength of the newcomer, though far from matching Old Man Xiao's, was evident in their skill at hidden movement and stealth, coupled with the aid of a special True Spirit, clearly specializing in sneak attacks and assassination.
"Let alone a mere warrior from the Supreme Sovereign Realm, even if a Realm Master came, I would slap them to death!
" Li Xuan chuckled, not in the slightest bit concerned.
All of a sudden, an energy surged forth, ripples spread through the Domain, Laws of Heaven and Earth emerged, Dao Principles appeared, and the Rhythms of Domain filled the air.
Old Man Xiao, who had been contemplating the energy of the Heavenly Dao, instantly appeared in the courtyard, looking in surprise towards the source of the disturbance.
"A breakthrough is occurring.
"Li Xuan watched in silence as Xu Yan was on the verge of breaking through into the Domain Realm.
Using his body as a Domain, the act of breaking through caused an extraordinary phenomenon in Heaven and Earth, as if the Domain Dao Rule sensed the emergence of a new Domain.
Yet it could not discern where the new Domain lay or why a new Domain was being born, hence the appearance of the extraordinary phenomena, and that was all.
If the Heavenly Dao were present, it would have locked onto Xu Yan's existence the instant it occurred; however, at present, there were only passive signs of such phenomena, and their scope was limited.
The phenomena did not last long before they returned to calm, as if the Domain Dao Rule had lost its sensation.
Old Man Xiao was astounded and couldn't help but ask respectfully, "Taoist Ancestor, what was that just now?
""It was merely some extraordinary phenomena caused by the breakthrough.
This Domain is incomplete, lacking the Heavenly Dao, hence such an occurrence," Li Xuan casually explained.
"I see!
"With an epiphany, Old Man Xiao was internally shocked at the thought of how powerful Xu Yan would become after this breakthrough.
Capable of slaying a Divine Venerate?
"May I ask, Taoist Ancestor, what realm Xu Yan has broken through to?
" Old Man Xiao asked curiously.
"The Domain Realm!
"Li Xuan said indifferently.
Old Man Xiao was momentarily stunned, the name 'Domain Realm' echoing in his mind as he faintly began to understand the extraordinary nature of this realm.
"The breakthrough succeeded!
"Li Xuan beamed with joy; Xu Yan had broken through to the Domain Realm.
