01,

Dragon world is just as it sounds, a world ruled by dragons what does that mean, well let's find a simple way for you to understand it, at the dawn of this world the planet was filled with weak beasts tha were nothing more than primordial spirits of nature, then came the arrival of the demons.

No one knows where exactly these demons came from but they were ruthless and they slaughtered everything but that wouldn't be the end of all life on this world, as the species faced their demise they were rescued by a a massive dragon that seemed to radiate twelve colors.

These twelve colors were the twelve natural elements of water, fire, wind, earth, light, darkness, lightning, metal, space, time, life and death. The culmination of all those elements created a being known as the dragon god.

The dragon god naturally combined all these elements to create something known as the chaos law, it was the culmination of everything in one, it was absolute invincibility, the dragon god fought against the demons suppressing them and eliminating a large number of them but he couldn't kill them.

The demons weren't weak and they too had gods of heir own, the leader of the demons was also a dragon of sorts except it practiced the void law, the void law was the Yin to the yang of the Chaos law. Both of those laws were the only thing that could suppress eachother.

However they were all a combination of the twelve natural elements, the difference came in the spiritual base, the dragon god wasnt the only dragon god but rather was one of two.

They were twins born naturally from the universe one being the Holy dragon god and the other was the evil dragon god. The two of them fought against one another and in the end they destroyed each other, the results of their fight was that all life on the planet was destroyed.

But the dragon gods were naturally made from the elements of life and these elements were naturally capable of creation, life on the planet was recreated then this became the basis of human life, created from the essences of the dragon gods humans became the inheritors of the world.

But they wouldn't be the only ones, demons were soon reborn as well but rather than take human form, demons chose to merge with the beats of nature creating a powerful highly reproducing demonic race. They slaughtered humans once more treating them as their own food.

But that wouldn't last long, humans soon started discovering the marvels left to them by the holy dragon god, as humans grew up they would awaken a guardian spirit form which was their connection to nature.

But not everyone could successfuly awaken this spirit, those that did became known as spirit masters, the task of spirit masters was to develop their inborn spirit and enable it transform into a dragon spirit, only dragon spirits could practice the chaos law which made them the strongest life forms at the peak of humanity.

Spirit souls came in all forms from mighty dinosaurs to the smallest ants, not all of them could be successfuly transformed I to dragons but those that did gained immortality and practically became gods.

Spirit masters were separated into ten levels from spirit nurturing stage, then came the spirit manifestation realm, then the spirit fusion realm which would make one a spirit soldier, then from there they become spirit generals, spirit kings, spirit emperors, spirit sages, spirit saints.

From that point on the spirit soul needed to be transformed into a dragon as the next realm was known as the spirit transformation realm/Nirvana realm, at that point a spirit becomes a real dragon, from there a spirit master merges with their spirit soul to enter the spirit transcendent realm and become a dragon knight, this was an existence at the top of humanity and they possessed immeasurable power.

But the state of spirit masters appearing was incredible low, it would be a miracle for a single spirit master to appear in a city let alone a village, however with time the appearance of spirit masters increased, this was partially because of the available spirit masters that had cultivated to the point of Transcendence thereby gaining immortality.

These beings brought several training manuals that helped speed up the rate at which spirit masters could successfuly transform their spirits Into dragons, also the presence of spirit masters also increased the rate of spirit master appearances.

The reason was that children of spirit masters could very easily become spirit masters compared to children of commoners, at the same time the bloodlines of spirits awakened by these children was much pure which made their acceleration within the ranks much faster.

As such several powerful families appeared with time and these families governed several regions, these families would naturally have cultivation methods that weren't readily available to low level families so most low level families sought refuge under these large families.

The main reason behind this was that demons used to raid human settlements and if a specific village didn't have a strong spirit master protecting it, the whole village could be easily wiped out by a demon wave,

Strong families however had many spirit masters who could protect them form these demon waves, that was the state of the families but as one would expect humanity wasnt free from greed, not all spirit master families were equal and as such the strong families loved oppressing the weaker ones and attimes even killing a few of them.

Here we meet our main protagonist, his name is Long Jin. Long Jin came from a small village called Fengbao village, he never knew his parents all he knew was the man who raised him, when Long Jin was just 2 years old there was a great war between super families, the Huangdi domain fought against several powerhouses from the other super families.

It was during that time that Long Jin came to live in Feng city he was saved by a warrior that participated in those wars, this warrior had been heavily injured so he retired from the army and moved to Feng City to live out the rest of his years taking care of this young kid.

This warrior was called Long Bei a spirit general with a rank 2 mid tier bloodline diamond baboon of the fire element which grants him impressive strength along with fiery explosive force.

This allowed him to make a life for himself as a blacksmith in Fengbao city which was a popular job in Huangdi domain.

Huangdi domain was an area governed by the Huangdi family, this was one of the transcendent families that had a dragon knight as their ancestors because of this they took on several low level families under their guidance.

These families would retain control of their villages but they were under the transcendent family and their connection to the super family granted them authority to govern the small city in a way they saw for as long as it didn't go against the Huangdi family rules and values.

Fengbao village was ruled by the Feng Family a family famous for their possession of the phoenix spirit soul, which in its purest form has the capability of becoming a true dragon, dragons had classes as well.

There were mutated dragons, sub-dragons, hybrid dragons and then there were true dragons, and finally dragon kings. Each type of dragon had different capabilities, all spirit sould could evolve into some dragon of sorts but very few of them could become true dragons or even better dragon kings.

Mutated dragons retained the appearance of the original spirit soul but simply took on the blood and characteristics of the dragons, this was the weakest form of dragon and also the most common, their masters could atmost reach the spirit king level with much difficulty otherwise they would end up as sport generals.

Sub dragons took on the characteristics of the dragon but not just that, they had their size, strength, skills and even lifespan equal to that of a dragon, some of then would even take on some dragon characteristics but were more or less primarily still in their native spirit form.

Although hey were common they weren't as frequent as mutated dragons, their owners were destined to recah the spirit emperor level and with much difficulty they could even reach the spirit sage level

Hybrid dragons would develop dragon scales allover their bodies including having dragon eyes, this was a huge difference from sub dragons, they would have the bloodline suppression unique to drgaons which allows them to suppress all other spirits and beats below them.

However despite taking on a dragon like appearance they still retained their original spirit form, a cultivator with a dragon of this level would be assured to each the spirit saint level and although rare, some of them could even reach the dragon knight level with much difficulty.

True dragons on the other hand were incredibly rare, they weren't easily seen but when they manifested it was easy for their wielders to become dragon knights as long as they practiced diligently, and with much difficulty it wa also possible to transcend, at that point regardless of what the original form was this dragon would transform into a dragon physique abandoning its original form.

As for dragon kings, they were believed to be a myth that only exists among super families, the capability of a spirit soul to become a dragon depended on the purity level of a dragon, the dragon's purity level is determined when a soulmaster enters the spirit manifestation realm.

At that time the spirit soul and spirit master are fused and the purity of the soulmaster's bloodline determines the level of dragon their spirit soul can become, purity is measures by five levels, level 1 is low tier level and becomes a mutated dragon, level 2 is mid tier and becomes a sub dragon, level 3 is high tier level and becomes a hybrid dragon.

Level 4 on he other hand is a top tier level and becomes a true dragon as for level 5, it's a pinnacle level and it produces a dragon king, however in the history of Huangdi domain this type of bloodline purity has never been seen.

However although the Feng family Phoenix had the capability of awakening a rank 4 bloodline power level only the patriarch has ever awakened the bloodline to the fourth tier, and even then he hadn't risen to a drgaon knight yet, the patriarch of the Feng family was still a spirit saint.

But even then he was still a mighty powerhouse that was just one step away from becoming a dragon knight, in the whole Huangdi domain, the Feng family was only below the Huangdi family but no other family could threaten them.

This ofcourse made Fengbao a popular city within the Huangdi domain, Long Yin lived in this city under his adopted father or the only father he had ever known, when Long Yin was five years old his father told him the truth of his origins.

Long Bei said that during the war at the period when the war was coming to an end he was heavily injured he took residence in a beat down village that had been ravaged by war and he found a young boy hidden within the very house he was hiding in.

The boy's parents clearly hid him to keep him from danger when the foghting reached their village but even that didn't do them any good Long Bei took out of the child and decided to take him with him. As he retired he moved to a new city where he was unknown and took on the boy as his son.

It was at that very time that he started teaching Long Jin the basics of fighting as well as forging, as a blacksmith Long Bei earned some bit of cash which was detrimental in taking care of the two of them,

In addition to forging he also taught Long Jin the basics of martial arts, although Long Jin wasnt of the age to start cultivation Long Bei was already aware that Long Jin would become a spirit master because of a great secret he was keeping, a secret he hoped Ling Jin would never get to learn.

Forging was an easy way to forge someone's body and strengthen them which would be of great help when Long Jin started cultivation in the years to come, however even at a young age Long Jin was a very good student, his comprehension was quite good from that young.
