Yibai was innately related to dragons; his path of cultivation was the genuine transformation process from Royal Serpent to Jiao, and from Jiao to dragon.
Hearing that a Jiao was traversing the Shuanglong River,
he subconsciously wanted to know the outcome.
Old Tortoise didn't hide anything and generously informed Yibai about what it knew.
"Turn into a dragon? To do that, one must successfully reach the sea. That Jiao, let alone reaching the sea, failed after barely completing a tenth or a fifth of the watery path."
Old Tortoise spoke slowly and leisurely.
"What was the reason for the failure?"
Yibai was eager to know.
"It is said that the Jiao was passing through Hengjiang Prefecture when it flooded a whole prefecture. It attempted to seize the opportunity to rush through the area, but it didn't anticipate being captured by the Dragon Slaying Sword hanging under the bridge of a county town, and the Prefecture God obstructed it, leading to its failure,"
