250: Chapter 250 The Necessary Sacrifice of the Dragon Clan

Meanwhile, at an unnamed immortal mountain in the West.

At this moment, Lu Ya was conducting a preaching session there.

He stood upon the podium, preaching to the living beings below, when suddenly, a voice echoed.

"Lu Ya, for your contributions to the rise of the West, today I shall bestow upon you five more Bodhi Seeds!"

The voice carried the unique Sanskrit sounds of the West; it was none other than Jieyin, who had just finished lecturing Zhunti.

At the same time, as Lu Ya heard the transmission, a streak of golden light suddenly swept across the ten thousand li surrounding him.

Within those ten thousand li, all living beings listening to the sermon suddenly froze.

Jieyin did not interrupt Lu Ya's sermon; instead, he paused the thoughts of the listeners, and then, from the Void Realm, appeared five Bodhi Seeds emitting endless spiritual light.

Seeing this, Lu Ya quickly raised his hands and received the five Bodhi Seeds.

Looking at the Bodhi Seeds in his hands and feeling the hunger of his Primordial Spirit for them, a flash of joy crossed Lu Ya's eyes, and he hurriedly knelt toward the Void Realm:

"Thank you, Teacher, for the treasure!"

"Thank you, Teacher, for the treasure!!"

"It is of no matter. You are the hope for the rise of the West; these Bodhi Seeds are what you deserve."

As the words faded, Jieyin said nothing more, and the consciousness of the surrounding living beings began to return.

Watching the living beings below begin to move again, Lu Ya quickly stored the Bodhi Seeds into his personal space, a flash of determination in his eyes.

'Teacher, rest assured, this Disciple will absolutely help the West rise!!'

After psyching himself up, Lu Ya resumed his preaching.

...

Meanwhile, at the West Sea Eye.

Chi Wen listened to the words of the patrolling Black Dragon, a look of gravity flashing in his eyes: "Has the West finally made a move again?"

The Formation of the West Sea Dragon Palace had been set up by Chi Wen using his own Law, so the moment a flaw appeared in the Formation, Chi Wen detected the anomaly.

Seeing the power of the Heavenly Dao, he understood it was the doing of the Two Sages of the West.

However, Chi Wen had no ability to clear away the power of the Heavenly Dao that was eroding the Formation.

Therefore, he could only set up another layer of Formation within the existing one and increase the intensity of patrols, all to prevent incursions from other forces or to stop and notify immediately if the Formation were destroyed.

This was to prevent the Dragon Clan from being dragged into the Tribulation.

Chi Wen gave the Black Dragon two Low Grade Innate Spirit Treasures and said: "For your meritorious patrol, these are bestowed upon you and that little Azure Dragon."

Looking at the glittering Innate Spirit Treasures before him, the patrolling Black Dragon's expression turned instantly excited. He received the Spirit Treasures and, using the most respectful etiquette of the Dragon Clan, kowtowed repeatedly:

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for the reward! Thank you, Old Ancestor, for the reward!"

Chi Wen gave a soft hum, then waved his hand: "Withdraw."

After the Black Dragon left, Chi Wen turned his gaze toward a creature below that resembled a dragon but was not, its body entangled with heavy Karma.

This creature resembled a dragon in shape, yet lacked dragon scales; instead, its entire body was covered in feathers, and its claws were not dragon claws, but hooves—similar to the hooves of a Qilin.

Although it was a mixed-blood, its cultivation was not low, possessing a Middle Stage Quasi-Saint cultivation comparable to Chi Wen's.

"Brother, the West Sea Dragon Clan cannot implicate the entire Dragon Clan, so I must trouble you!"

The creature that was like a dragon yet not slowly opened its eyes, its voice deep but carrying a hint of resolve:

"Chi Wen, as a mixed-blood creature of the three Innate clans, I should have died under the Heavenly Dao; it was Father who saved me."

"This life was given by Father; naturally, I will sacrifice my own life for the continuation of Father's clan!"

"Ah." Chi Wen sighed softly, "It is truly hard on you, Brother."

Sanbuxiang shook its head with a smile, "To have lived this long, I am already content. My birth was a mistake in itself."

"Even during the Prehistoric era governed by the Great Dao, I could not attain the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm due to my Origin. If not for Hongjun, I would never have touched this level in my life."

"To be able to use my life to contribute to the Dragon Clan, I am content!"

As the words fell, Sanbuxiang lifted a jar of wine and distributed it to all the Dragon Clan members at the Sea Eye.

"Let us have one last drink together; after this cup, I shall be expelled from the Dragon Clan!"

"Brother!!"

"Old Ancestor..."

Chi Wen and the group of old dragons within the Sea Eye, upon hearing the words of Sanbuxiang, received the wine cups handed over by Sanbuxiang with sobbing voices.

Chi Wen's voice trembled slightly: "Brother, the Dragon Clan has wronged you..."

Sanbuxiang tilted its head back and took a large gulp of wine, smiling:

"The Tribulation has arrived; even if the Two Sages of the West become entangled in Karma, they are determined to drag the Dragon Clan into the Tribulation. Expelling me from the clan, allowing me—an outsider who is not of the Dragon Clan—to bear everything, is the best choice for the Dragon Clan now."

He looked around at the dragons, his eyes filled with emotion:

"All these years, thank you for always treating me like a brother."

The dragons drank one after another, tears glistening in their eyes.

Within the Sea Eye, the atmosphere was tragic and solemn.

Sanbuxiang took another large gulp and laughed aloud:

"Come! Let's have another cup! May the Dragon Clan pass through the Tribulation safely!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!!"

...

Meanwhile, the Dragon Clan of the other three veins also received the transmission from Chi Wen.

North Sea Sea Eye.

Baxia, who was at the very center suppressing the Return to Ruins, was furious and ghastly.

"Brother!!"

South Sea Sea Eye.

The first Suanni, one of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, was also furious.

Desperately trying to break free from the chains of the Heavenly Dao, "West, I will fight you to the death!"

But just as Suanni was about to tear open the chains of the Heavenly Dao, he was immediately held down tightly by the other pure-blooded dragons within the South Sea Sea Eye.

"Old Ancestor, no, you must not!"

"Old Ancestor Sanbuxiang is sacrificing himself for the Dragon Clan; you cannot let his efforts go to waste!"

Suanni's eyes were blood-red as he roared:

"The West is bullying us too much! How dare they scheme against my Dragon Clan! I will fight you to the death!"

The other dragons pleaded bitterly:

"Old Ancestor, please calm down, please calm down; anger cannot solve problems."

"Old Ancestor Sanbuxiang has used his own strength to trade for a glimmer of hope for the Dragon Clan; we must never let his sacrifice be in vain."

Suanni finally sighed long and hard, slowly sitting down, his eyes filled with grief, indignation, and unwillingness:

"Forget it... forget it... for the Dragon Clan... for the Dragon Clan..."

Within the South Sea Sea Eye, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.

...

East Sea Sea Eye.

Zhulong received the transmission from Chi Wen; his complexion, already pitch-black due to Karma, became even darker.

He looked toward the West and roared at the sky:

"Sanbuxiang!!"

Filled with fury, he clenched his fists tightly, squeezing out cracking sounds!

"This cannot be let go just like that!"

With a roar, Zhulong took out a wisp of mysterious yellow qi.

He recorded all the matters concerning the Dragon Clan into it, and then, he bowed respectfully toward the mysterious yellow qi:

"I implore the Human Race, after the Tribulation ends, to bring the West to justice. My Dragon Clan is willing to pay with three Top Grade Innate Spirit Treasures or owe the Human Race three favors of Karma as reward!"

After Zhulong finished recording, he looked at the West, a flash of determination in his eyes.

He cast the mysterious yellow qi toward the Human Race!
