The Seal Loosens! (4K)
"Chief, the young lady is back."
In the Netherworld Sea, at Zhongshan Mountain, Huo Zhang, the chieftain of the Crimson Eyes tribe, was practicing the Candle Dragon Clan's techniques when his clansmen informed him that Huo Wen had returned to the Candle Dragon Clan.
Huozhang was overjoyed and immediately led his people to meet him.
Huowen followed Lu Changsheng to Meteoric Iron Island to wipe out the Blood Sea Hall Branch Hall. Coincidentally, the Candle Torch Dragon Clan Tribe was located in the Netherworld Sea, so after the event, Huowen took the opportunity to visit the Torch Dragon Clan Tribe.
"Haha, I never expected that my precious daughter's cultivation level would almost catch up with mine after only a short time of training at Taihua Mountain."
Huozhang was very pleased to see that Huowen's cultivation had greatly improved.
His choice to send his daughter to follow the Dragon Emperor descendants and cultivate under the Changsheng Sect was indeed the right one.
"Congratulations, clan leader! Your successor is excellent."
The people of the Crimson-Pupils Tribe showered him with compliments.
Huowen, however, took it for granted.
Lu Changsheng provides his disciples with a large amount of Cultivation Resources every year, and sometimes he even Transmission Empowerment. It's hard for his disciples' cultivation speed not to be fast. Huowen's speed is considered slow.
When Huowen returned, Huozhang hosted a grand banquet at the Crimson-Pupils Tribe to welcome his daughter back.
Beneath Mount Zhong Mountain lies Sealing Grounds covered with Formation patterns, containing a full eighteen layers of High Antiquity Grand Formations.
At the entrance to the grand formation was a cold, Iron Prison Gate.
A Black-Robed Man appeared silently in front of the Iron Prison Gate.
The Black-Robed Man had two Horns on his head, and his robe was decorated with mysterious dragon Dragon Markings.
He reached out and touched the Iron Prison Gate, a bone-chilling cold washing over him, and his fingers instantly froze.
The fingers with sharp nails had no choice but to leave the iron gate. The Black-Robed Man snorted coldly, Fortune, and black flames melted the covering ice.
The Black-Robed Man's movements seemed to awaken an ancient being sealed within the eighteen-layered array. The white mist exhaled as he breathed out swept over, causing the Black-Robed Man's robes to flutter wildly.
"It seems you've woken up. I'll lend you a hand; whether you can escape is up to you. I still need to find the other brothers."
The Black-Robed Man took a deep breath, placed his palm on the prison door, and disregarded the covering ice. An aura of Destroy Heaven and Earth shattered the ice and poured into the eighteen-layered array, destroying its patterns.
Cracks have appeared in some of the patterns.
Rumble...
The island where Mount Zhong is located shook violently, the ground trembled, rocks rolled down from the mountaintop, and huge waves surged up on the seashore.
The Crimson-Pupils Tribe members, who were holding a banquet, felt the tremor and staggered, scattering their delicacies all over the ground.
"This is bad; the place where our ancestors were sealed is starting to weaken."
Disregarding the potential losses, Huozhang immediately went to the Sealing Grounds.
Huowen followed Huozhang to the Sealing Grounds.
The Sealing Grounds is where the Taiyin Goddess sealed the Zhulong Ancestor.
In order to protect the Sealing Grounds, the Torch Dragon Clan chose to stay in the Netherworld Sea instead of going to the Yao Realm.
In front of the Sealing Grounds stood many experts from the Torch Dragon Clan.
In addition to the chieftains and Elders of the Eight Tribes, some long-absent Old Dragons also appeared.
Old Dragon Yan Feng leaned on his cane, closed his eyes, and scanned the entire Sealing Grounds with his Divine Sense, trying to find out what had happened Sealing Grounds.
"Ancestor, what was that shaking just now?"
"Someone is trying to break the seal."
Who exactly is this person?
"The seal left by the Taiyin Goddess is extremely strong, consisting of eighteen layers of High Antiquity Grand Formations. These eighteen layers of High Antiquity Grand Formations can also draw upon the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to resist those who attempt to destroy them. Generations of us have tried to break the seal, but none have succeeded..."
"Wrong. Although the seal of the Taiyin Goddess is strong, it is not Eternal Grand Formation. Over the years, the seal has begun to weaken. With this recent damage, the formation will soon collapse."
"The great formation sealing the Ancestor is finally about to be broken. Does this mean the Ancestor will descend upon the Three Realms once more?"
"How long has it been since our Torch Dragon Clan has had Dragon King? Now that the Dragon King has returned, our Torch Dragon Clan will finally rise to power once again."
"Compared to other Dragon Clans, our Torch Dragon Clan has indeed been in decline for far too long."
The people of the Torch Dragon Clan were overjoyed.
The seal that their clansmen had been unable to break for generations had finally loosened.
In High Antiquity times, the Zhulong Ancestor was Great Expert Demon Race king of the Dragon King level. He possessed the ability to manipulate the waters of the Netherworld Sea and frequently traversed the Three Realms, earning a fearsome reputation.
Nowadays, the Torch Dragon Clan, lacking powerful Dragon Kings, lingers on the edge of the Immortal Realm, Mount Zhong, and has little presence.
Once the Zhulong Ancestor breaks through the seal of the Taiyin Goddess, the Torch Dragon Clan will once again become one of the strongest Tribes among the Dragon Clan.
Old Dragon Yan Feng, however, looked worried.
Having cultivated under the Human Race Xiuzhenzhe for a long time, Huowen had learned to read people's expressions. Seeing that his ancestor was frowning, he asked, "Ancestor, you are about to break free from your predicament, why do you seem so troubled?"
The chieftains of the Eight Tribes all looked at the Old Dragon.
Yan Feng has seen the Old Dragon Emperor. Zhulong Ancestor has not appeared in the world, Yan Feng is the most influential Old Dragon in the Torch Dragon Clan.
"Our Torch Dragon Clan has reconciled with the Human Race in order to remain in the Immortal Realm, and has also established friendly relations with the Moon Palace and the Taihua Sacred Ground. It can be said that the grudges formed during the First High Antiquity War have largely disappeared. However, our ancestor, at the end of the First High Antiquity War, disagreed with the other Demon Kings ' idea of peace talks and wanted to drive the waters of the Netherworld Sea to flood the Northern Immortal Realm. This led to the intervention of the Taiyin Goddess, who sealed him in Mount Zhong. Given our ancestor's hatred for the Human Race, if the seal is broken, it will likely lead our Torch Dragon Clan to destruction... After all, the Human Race has prospered for a long time, controlling Fortune and favored by the Will of Heaven and Earth. If our Dragon Clan were to clash with the Human Race again, it would undoubtedly be courting our own demise..."
Yan Feng's worries caused the other powerful members of the Torch Dragon Clan to share the same concerns.
Yan Feng's concerns were not unfounded.
The Zhulong Ancestor was sealed here by the Taiyin Goddess, filled with resentment.
If the Zhulong Ancestor were to break free of the seal and seek revenge against Human Race, wouldn't that be courting death?
The Torch Dragon Clan and the Human Race Holy Land had lived in peace for many years and were used to a tranquil life. They did not want to return to the tragic scene of the High Antiquity War.
In the First High Antiquity War, both Human Race and Demon Race suffered heavy casualties. The Heavenly Sect was wiped out, and the Old Dragons of the Torch Dragon Clan perished in large numbers. Even the Zhulong Ancestor was sealed away.
It is precisely because of these painful lessons that the two sides have not resumed hostilities for millions of years, keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other. Although there are occasional conflicts, such as Great Demons harming Human Race Dynasties and Human Race immortals slaying evil dragons, these are all individual matters, not large-scale wars between the entire race.
"A bunch of cowards, actually afraid of these Human Race Xiuzhenzhe. As long as the Ancestor is resurrected, with his strength and wisdom, he will surely lead our Torch Dragon Clan to prosperity!"
Yin Hao, the clan leader of the Silver-Pupils Tribe, had a fanatical gaze, filled with worship for the Zhulong Ancestor.
"That's right. Without our progenitor, there would be no descendants like us. Our Torch Dragon Clan needs a Dragon King to lead us!"
"Once our progenitor breaks the seal and leads us to the Yao Realm, our Torch Dragon Clan will occupy vast territory and no longer have to be crammed onto this island!"
The members of the Silver-Pupils Tribe were incredibly fanatical.
"If the progenitor was truly that powerful, he wouldn't have been sealed here by the Taiyin Goddess."
Huowen poured cold water on the Silver-Pupils Tribe, and the originally hot-tempered Silver-Pupils Tribe members fell silent.
Huowen's words left them speechless.
Yes.
If the Zhulong Ancestor was truly as powerful as Yin Hao claimed, he wouldn't have been defeated by the Taiyin Goddess's sword and sealed here for millions of years, unable to escape.
Yin Hao snorted coldly, "Hmph, of the Primordial Human Race Emperors who once dominated the world, only two survived. One of them even became the Devil Master Primordial Human Race Emperor. The Human Race split into two major camps. After the war between immortals and demons, many Human Race powerhouses perished, and their strength is far from what it used to be. As for our Demon Race, we watched from the sidelines and hardly participated in the Second High Antiquity War. Now, our foundation may not be inferior to that of the Human Race."
Huowen shook his head. "The Human Race has produced many outstanding individuals. The Taihua Sacred Ground alone is not as simple as it seems, not to mention the ancient Holy Lands and Lineage such as the Purple Void Palace, the Taichu Sacred Land, and the Primordial Beginning Sacred Land. Among the Heavenly Court's Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces, some ancient existences still exist. In any case, our Torch Dragon Clan should not get involved in the conflict between the Human Race and Demon Races. When our ancestor breaks the seal and comes out, we must persuade him to put aside his hatred and maintain the status quo."
"When the progenitor emerges, he will prove you wrong."
Yin Hao ignored Huowen's insights; he could sense the ancestor's boundless hatred for the Taiyin Goddess inside the prison.
The Zhulong Ancestor was sealed away with resentment for his defeat at the hands of the Taiyin Goddess. The Taiyin Goddess sealed him away in the deep, cold Netherworld Sea for millions of years, subjecting him to endless torment.
Now that the Taiyin Goddess has perished, the Zhulong Ancestor may very well transfer his hatred to other Human Race Xiuzhenzhe.
"Daughter, you don't need to worry too much. Let fate decide. You should continue your cultivation under Young Friend Lu. I see that he has the potential to become Great Emperor. If our Torch Dragon Clan is ever in danger of being wiped out, seeking help from him will be a viable option."
Huozhang patted his daughter's head, increasingly convinced that sending her to the Changsheng Sect for cultivation was the right choice.
In the unlikely event that the Zhulong Ancestor breaks free of the seal and leads the Torch Dragon Clan to fight against the Human Race, there is still the daughter who can offer some flexibility. At the very least, she can preserve the bloodline of the Torch Dragon Clan.
"Who exactly did this?"
Yan Feng was still observing the surrounding clues, trying to find the person who broke the seal so that he could know their purpose.
Above Mount Zhong, the Black-Robed Man silently watched everything happening below; even someone as powerful as Yan Feng was unaware of his presence.
"Next is the Eight Desolate Fire Dragon. The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon was banished to the depths of the Void by the Tai Chu Divine Maiden, so finding it will not be easy."
The Black-Robed Man vanished from the spot.
At Yuntai Peak, Lu Changsheng continued to reward his Disciple Dugu Aotian with the Star River Sand he had obtained from the Blood Sea Hall Branch Hall.
If Lu Changsheng wants to use the Alioth Star Core as the main material to create a supreme Law Treasure, he needs to accumulate a sufficient number of Alioth Star Cores.
[Ding! You have failed to Disciple-Teaching Rebate your Disciple Dugu Aotian with the Eighteenth Grade material "Star River Sand".]
[Ding! You have failed to Disciple-Teaching Rebate your Disciple Dugu Aotian with the Eighteenth Grade material "Star River Sand".]
[Ding! You have rewarded your Disciple Dugu Aotian with the Eighteenth Grade material "Star River Sand," and received a 999 million times Disciple-Teaching Rebate: Alioth Star Core.]
We've obtained another Alioth Star Core!
Lu Changsheng was thrilled. Finally, it wasn't just Alioth Star Core the size of a fingernail, but two Alioth Star Cores the size of fingernails.
However, the Star River Sand obtained from the Blood Sea Hall Branch Hall will soon be exhausted.
Lu Changsheng also wants to use the system to obtain the Alioth Star Core, so he needs to obtain Star River Sand through other means.
"This Primordial Ancient Mine is rich in various ancient extraterrestrial minerals. This Forbidden Grounds is jointly controlled by the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands of Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji. Star River Sand can only be purchased through them."
As the Taihua Saint and soon to assume the position of Taihua Sacred Lord, Lu Changsheng, given his status, would receive respect from other Holy Lands as long as he paid the appropriate price.
Lu Changsheng only needs to take out Alioth Star Core the size of a fingernail to exchange for billions of catties of Star River Sand.
Star River Sand is merely a core fragment of an ordinary star, incomparable to the Star Core of the Alioth Ancient Star.
"Junior brother, something terrible has happened!"
Zhao Wuyan rushed back to Yuntai Peak, looking anxious.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what happened?"
"Our Senior Brother was severely injured by that wicked disciple Xiao Xiangdao!"
"What?"
Lu Changsheng's rare good mood was ruined, and his face turned ashen.
Xiao Xiangdao had tried to harm his eldest Disciple Lin Qingzhi many times, but Lu Changsheng only refrained from doing so because of his Senior Brother Li Changye. Now, Xiao Xiangdao had even dared to lay a hand on Li Changye and severely injured him, which was simply an act of betraying his master and ancestors.
"Next time I see that brat, I'll definitely kill him with one blow. Is Senior Brother alright?"
"The Immortal Changliu used a top-grade Divine Pill to revive our Senior Brother. I heard that the Immortal Changliu was also furious about this and issued a bounty on Changliu Mountain. Anyone who can kill Xiao Xiangdao will receive the bounty from Changliu Mountain. This wicked disciple, if we had known back in Mount Shu, we would have killed him back then, and there wouldn't be this disaster now. I heard from our Senior Brother that after this boy joined the Blood Sea Hall, he obtained the inheritance of the Great Demon, and his Devil Cultivation Method has improved by leaps and bounds. Even our Senior Brother is no match for him."
Zhao Wuyan glared angrily, his beard bristling.
Has he already surpassed his Senior Brother?
Lu Changsheng also realized the threat posed by Xiao Xiangdao.
Xiao Xiangdao obtained the Great Demon Inheritance and cultivated Devil Cultivation Method, so his cultivation level improved rapidly.
To cultivate Devil Cultivation Method, one must have an extremely strong will to avoid Qi Deviation.
Xiao Xiangdao's obsession allowed him to make rapid progress in his understanding of the Demonic Dao.
Even so, Lu Changsheng would not let the other party go.
"We have also issued a bounty: whoever can kill this boy will receive one Twenty-First-Grade Medicinal Pills... no, three."
Lu Changsheng had no shortage of treasures, so he also issued a bounty, using the power of the Three Realms to hunt down Xiao Xiangdao.
It feels really good to be so wealthy and powerful that you don't have to lift a finger.
The bounty issued by Lu Changsheng in his capacity Taihua Saint caused a sensation throughout the Three Realms.
If you can kill Xiao Xiangdao, you can get both the bounties from Lu Changsheng and the Immortal Changliu!
For a time, many powerful figures in the Three Realms were searching for Xiao Xiangdao's whereabouts, and even King Yama-Rank Killer from assassin organizations appeared...
