131: The current situation of Zulong
Zhulong heard this and hurriedly left.
The pillar was quickly retracted; it turned out to be the Ancestral Dragon's claw.
Then, loud booms echoed from below, with dragon roars mixed with the sound of Seals being shifted.
Then, the entire dragon body began to move.
The Ancestral Dragon did not break the Seal; he merely adjusted his posture and poked his dragon head out, which already cost him a great deal of effort.
His massive dragon eyes shot out two beams of brilliant light, glaring at Zhulong.
Zhulong understood and withdrew on his own.
"Fellow Daoists, it has been a long time. I didn't expect the two of you to reach your current level by your own strength."
"While I am bound here..."
The Ancestral Dragon let out a sigh.
He remembered their first meeting when both sides were at each other's throats.
From then on, he had regarded these two as formidable rivals.
Later, however, both sides unexpectedly took completely different paths.
With the support of his clan's Luck, the Ancestral Dragon's cultivation rose rapidly, leading him to become arrogant for a time, looking down on everyone and believing the entire Primordial World should crawl beneath his dragon claws.
However, he also paid the price for his arrogance.
The Dragon Clan fell from grace, and he was trapped within this Sea Eye.
Looking back now, perhaps the path those two chose was the more correct one.
Seeing his former rival in such a state, Yuan Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Qing Wu smiled faintly, neither mocking nor pitying the current plight of the Ancestral Dragon and the Dragon Clan. "There is no need for that, Fellow Daoist. We came here today to have the Dao Discussion that we never got to have."
The Ancestral Dragon's long whiskers swayed continuously as he tentatively moved his head further forward.
"Before that, thank you both for guiding the future of my Dragon Clan."
Although he was in a deep sleep, he was aware of the various affairs of the Dragon Clan.
But he simply let things take their course, as he no longer had the strength to manage the clan's affairs.
However, hearing these two say that a future still existed for the Dragon Clan brought him some relief.
If such words had come from anyone else, the Ancestral Dragon would have treated them as mere noise.
But since this person said it, it must be true.
As for why the Ancestral Dragon was so certain, he didn't know himself; perhaps it was intuition.
"No need to be polite, Fellow Daoist. Ultimately, it is because you bore most of the Karmic Obstruction backlash within the Sea Eye that your descendants have this sliver of a chance."
Hearing Qing Wu's forced explanation, the Ancestral Dragon felt unusually at ease.
"At this time, Fellow Daoist is likely busy working toward attaining the Dao."
"With the birth of the Heavenly Dao, the Primordial World has changed, which has a significant impact on all three thousand Daos."
"It will be no small feat to reorganize the path of Hunyuan!"
"I am merely doing my best..."
After the pleasantries, the few of them began their Dao Discussion.
Despite his current state, the Ancestral Dragon was once a powerhouse in the Late Stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
In the Dao Discussion with Qing Wu and the other, he was not inferior in the slightest.
Both sides gained something from this Dao Discussion... "Fellow Daoist, please lift your foot," Qing Wu said via divine sense transmission as he delved into the Sea Eye.
After the Dao Discussion ended, Qing Wu wanted to investigate the depths of the Sea Eye.
Although the Ancestral Dragon was here to suppress it, no one could guarantee whether there were potential dangers within the Sea Eye or if going deep would affect the suppression.
Therefore, he only searched in the shallow areas.
The Ancestral Dragon shifted his body from time to time to cooperate with him.
On the side, Yuan Feng's attention was highly concentrated, ready to act at any moment to deal with possible crises.
"You two, let this old Daoist see you off!"
Finally, when the two of them bid farewell, the Ancestral Dragon took the initiative to offer them a send-off.
"Fellow Daoist, in your current state, it's better not to act rashly."
The Ancestral Dragon shook his head. "It's fine. I just happen to want to stretch my back!"
"I haven't shown my face for a long time; the living beings of the Primordial World must have almost forgotten this seat."
With that, the Ancestral Dragon began to exert his strength. His massive dragon head shook, breaking through a layer of the Seal first and emerging completely.
"Follow me, you two!"
The moment the Ancestral Dragon's head broke through the Sea Eye's Seal, the entire East Sea began to boil.
Giant waves ten thousand feet high soared into the sky, dark clouds gathered overhead, and thunder danced like dragons and snakes.
Those dragon eyes, silent for countless eons, suddenly burst with golden light, piercing through layers of darkness.
Roar—
A dragon roar shook the Primordial World.
Wherever the sound waves passed, the four seas churned and the mountains trembled.
Countless members of the Dragon Clan felt their Bloodline boiling within them as they heard this earth-shaking dragon roar.
The waters of the East Sea surged toward the sky, forming a water pillar that connected heaven and earth. Qing Wu and his companion rode this sky-reaching water pillar upward, leaving that dark world behind.
After a long time, the East Sea returned to silence.
The Ancestral Dragon fell back into a deep sleep; after all, he had not completely broken free from the Seal.
But his goal had been achieved. With that dragon roar, he announced his presence to the Primordial World.
As long as he remained, no power in the current Primordial World would dare to easily move against the Dragon Clan.
Two figures stood above the Void Realm.
Qing Wu held a cluster of crystals emitting a dark, fluorescent glow.
That was a Sea Eye Condensed Crystal he had captured using his absolute restraint Divine Ability. It contained the violent water of the Heaven-Opening Four Elements—the Guixu Nether Spring.
This alone was enough to prove that the Sea Eye was also a massive treasure trove.
If utilized properly, it would have unexpected effects, just like the Immortal Volcano.
Correspondingly, there was also the Eternal Tribulation Mysterious Rock under Qilin Cliff and the chaos gale fiend energy accumulated in Hurricane Canyon.
However, all four carried similar dangers and were related to the stability of the Primordial World's Origin.
To truly act upon them, one would have to wait until the Primordial World was more stable.
But this was also good news.
At least it showed that there were still many resources in the Primordial World waiting for further development.
The world created by the Pangu Great God felt like a map being opened according to Rank... "Why was this place never discovered before?"
Yuan Feng looked around curiously. When the two of them came to the East Sea, they hadn't sensed this world before.
Suddenly, she discovered a place shrouded in dense immortal light. "There must be an Opportunity here."
Putting away the crystal, Qing Wu snapped out of it and began to survey the surroundings, finding that this was indeed another new world.
It was rich in Spiritual Qi, as if newborn, with infinite vitality.
The Ancestral Dragon had given them an unexpected surprise.
Penglai Immortal Island!
Legend had it that this island was a fragment of Chaos that fell into the Primordial World. After many years, it was finally assimilated by the Heavenly Dao and at last emerged.
It was said that the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus was on this island.
This island should have been found by that East Duke and used as the Foundation of the Immortal Court.
But now, the East Duke should still be in the Zixiao Palace flattering the Saint, never expecting someone to beat him to his Opportunity.
To not take what heaven offers would be truly foolish.
"Let's go, let's take a walk on this island..." The two of them entered the island without hesitation.
At the same time, the East Duke, who was listening to the Dao in the Zixiao Palace, suddenly opened his eyes.
For some reason, he suddenly felt as if his Opportunity had been taken.
But hearing that the Saint's dao rhyme had entered its final stage, he quickly closed his eyes again, calculating in his heart that it was more important to seize the Opportunity in front of him...
