Dragon's Descent [Xianxia, Reverse Cultivation]

What if one of the most powerful beings in existence wanted to become...less? Longying Huaxia, an ancient prismatic dragon with power that could topple mountains, faces an unprecedented dilemma. After five thousand years of cosmic supremacy, she finds herself fascinated by Li Feng, a humble water cultivator whose philosophy of harmony over dominance contradicts everything dragonkind values. Driven by curiosity that even she doesn't fully understand, Longying Huaxia embarks on the forbidden "Descending Dragon Path"—a dangerous reverse cultivation technique that sacrifices her godlike powers for mortality's fragile experience. Disguised in human form—adopting the name Xiaolong—she becomes Li Feng's unexpected disciple, hiding her true nature while navigating the Azure Waters Sect's complex hierarchies. But as each scale she sheds transforms not just her abilities but her fundamental nature, Xiaolong discovers an uncomfortable truth: true strength might not lie in commanding the elements, but in connecting with them. When suspicious sect members begin questioning her unusual abilities and dragon representatives arrive searching for their missing kin, Xiaolong must decide—retreat to her cosmic throne, or risk losing her draconic identity entirely for something dragons have always dismissed as weakness: love In a world where everyone seeks to ascend to immortality, one dragon's descent might reveal the most profound cultivation path of all.
