Chapter 835 - 935: The Little One's Strength
"I think, how about calling it Big White Snake?" Ping Chu Zhenren spoke up!"..."
"Are you messing with us?" Tai Chu Zhenren said!
"Exactly, you actually went with 'Big White Snake', what were you thinking?" Yuan Chu Zhenren said, "Even if you called it 'Big White Horned Snake', that'd still be better than this!"
"Don't be ridiculous, 'Big White Horned Snake' is even worse than 'Big White Snake'!" Zhi Chu Zhenren said!
"I was just joking, how could I really give it such a lame name like 'Big White Horned Snake'!" Yuan Chu Zhenren said!
Everyone was tossing out comments one after another, then Tian Chu Zhenren suddenly said, "This serpent is white as clouds, holy as a god, and its body bears a pair of wings, with a horn growing on its head!"
After hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, everyone stopped talking, and what he said gave off the feeling that he might actually come up with a decent name, so they all looked over at Tian Chu Zhenren, even Ye Tianfan turned to look at him.
To be honest, Ye Tianfan had already thought of a good name by now, and it was a very high-class sort of name, but since these elders were still here, he felt a bit embarrassed to say it outright. He planned to wait until they had all finished speaking and then, when they asked what he had in mind, he'd bring it up.
But at this moment, seeing how Tian Chu Zhenren was putting on such an air as if he really could come up with a good name, Ye Tianfan decided to wait and see first, to find out what kind of name Tian Chu Zhenren would give!
"White wings, holy horns that make people feel guilty just looking at them, how about we call it..." Tian Chu Zhenren said!
Right then, everyone's curiosity was cranked up to the maximum, and then they heard Tian Chu Zhenren continue, "How about we call it... Guilt Serpent?"
"..."
Everyone took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to beat him up. Tai Chu Zhenren took several deep breaths again and said, "How about this, from now on you just stop talking, shut that mouth of yours, be like Junior Brother Zhen Chu, honestly keep quiet, and let us handle the naming!"
"Nephew Tianfan, you say it, you think of a name!" At this point Tai Chu Zhenren had completely lost faith in his junior brothers. In his eyes, they were all hopeless at naming things. Now he wanted to see whether Ye Tianfan was also hopeless; if Ye Tianfan turned out to be another naming disaster, then he'd have no choice but to bring out that not-so-great, but still way better than everyone else's, name he had in reserve!
"Sacred Sub-Dragon!" Ye Tianfan said!
"Sacred Sub-Dragon?" Tai Chu Zhenren's first reaction upon hearing this name was that Ye Tianfan was also a naming failure, but after carefully savoring it, it actually made quite a bit of sense, and the name wasn't bad at all!
"Right, Sacred Sub-Dragon. 'Sacred' refers to this serpent's attribute being of the yang type, a holy attribute, and 'Sub-Dragon' refers to how this serpent has a horn on its head and a pair of wings. Although still far from a true dragon, it already has some similarities. It's got a horn on its head; if in the future this serpent can evolve further and maybe turn that horn into a pair, then by that time, the title of Sacred Sub-Dragon will fit it even better!" Ye Tianfan explained his chosen name!
After hearing this, Tai Chu Zhenren nodded. Indeed, using the character "dragon" in the name—though it was a "sub-dragon"—a sub-dragon was still a dragon. Having that "dragon" in there meant this Demon Beast had some connection to dragons!
You had to know, dragons were the foremost among Demon Beasts. Even the weakest true dragon, as long as it was a genuine dragon, could utterly crush most Demon Beasts in the cultivation world; even Phoenixes weren't necessarily a match for a true dragon!
The clearest example was the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon. Although the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon had nine dragon heads, it actually wasn't a true dragon either; at best it counted as a kind of sub-dragon. After all, a true dragon would never make itself that ugly—splitting its attributes and power into nine heads just for the sake of strength. True dragons looked down on that sort of thing.
So back when the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon was sealed, not a single true dragon came to its aid. You must understand, true dragons are even more united than Phoenixes. When a dumb little bird evolves into a Phoenix, plenty of Phoenixes show up to welcome it. True dragons being even more united than Phoenixes just goes to show that true dragons are the existence in the mortal realm you absolutely do not want to provoke. Moreover, when it comes to true dragons, if anyone harms a single one of them, all true dragons will appear on the scene and blast the offender into smithereens, so thoroughly that even their Divine Sense gets obliterated!
When everyone heard this name, they found it acceptable—pretty decent, actually—so they all agreed on it.
Then they all walked out of this cultivation cave. After all, there was nothing left here anymore. It had originally just been an empty cavern; it was only because of the presence of the Sacred Sub-Dragon that so many people had been drawn here. Now that there was nothing left, everyone was ready to head back!
However, just as they were about to leave, Zhen Chu Zhenren suddenly said, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, this Sacred Sub-Dragon's strength seems about on par with yours, doesn't it? I feel like if I don't set up dozens of Arrays in advance, I really wouldn't be able to deal with this Sacred Sub-Dragon at all!"
After hearing Zhen Chu Zhenren's words, the topic was opened up again, and everyone started chiming in!
First, Yuan Chu Zhenren said, "Junior Brother Zhen Chu, you feel that way too? Same here. The feeling this Sacred Sub-Dragon gives me is that if I don't bring out every Defensive Magical Treasure I've got, I might get taken out in a single strike!"
"You all feel that way too? Same here. I feel like I might not even be able to last three moves; the feeling this Sacred Sub-Dragon gives me is pure, absolute suppression!" Zhi Chu Zhenren said, "But I also feel that this Sacred Sub-Dragon doesn't seem to have fully evolved yet. After Demon Beasts complete an evolution, they usually don't get this sleepy; they're usually all fired up, even itching for a few fights!"
"Now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case. Even though this Sacred Sub-Dragon feels very strong to me as well, it still seems to be missing something. Could it be that evolutions involving attribute conversion turn out like this?" Ping Chu Zhenren analyzed at this moment!
"Perhaps the evolution through the Divine Giant Dragon didn't fully complete its transformation, so it's continuing the process by sleeping?" Tian Chu Zhenren said, "Also, I don't know if you noticed earlier, but the horn on this Sacred Sub-Dragon's head seemed a bit crooked, and on the other side there was a small bump starting to form!"
After hearing this, Tai Chu Zhenren carefully recalled the scene, then said, "I think so, yes. I hadn't really paid attention before, but now that I think back on it, the horn was indeed a bit crooked, and there was a little bump over there!"
"Xiao Qi, roll up your sleeves and let us take a good look, see if it matches what we just described!" Tian Chu Zhenren said!
