Ancestor Dragon Becomes Quasi-Sage, Destiny Shifts

In the north of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain called Xiankan Dafeng, where the Yellow River flows into the sea, and the sea pours north. To its west lies a mountain known as the accumulation of stones by Yu.

The mountains were majestic, with rolling peaks, rugged rocks, and cliffs thousands of feet high. Countless exotic flowers and plants grew there, along with myriad flying birds and beasts. It was truly a blessed land.

However, two Great Experts stood in opposition to each other.

One was Ancestor Cang Tian, and the other was Ancestor Huang Tian. Both were among the first batch of Innate beings in the world, with extraordinary origins and profound cultivation.

These two powerful beings, despite their vast divine abilities, could not stand each other. Whenever they met, they would either quarrel or engage in combat.

This time, they encountered each other unexpectedly, and a dispute arose over an Innate spiritual material.

For Ancestor Cang Tian and Ancestor Huang Tian, it was merely an ordinary Innate spiritual material, not particularly important. If they had encountered other Great Experts, they might have conceded. But they had run into their mortal enemies, and thus, they could not back down.

Ancestor Cang Tian and Ancestor Huang Tian, who were about to fight, turned their attention to the Western Wilderness.

The commotion near Mount Sumeru was considerable!

"What is Rahu up to?"

"Since he's employing a scheme of replacing the heavens and sun, his goal must be immense."

With a sense of doubt, Ancestor Cang Tian and Ancestor Huang Tian simultaneously calculated with their fingers.

They used their Dharma eyes to peer into Mount Sumeru and their Grand Unity Dao Fruits to deduce heavenly secrets.

Only when Mount Sumeru manifested the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation did they finally understand.

It turned out that Rahu had refined an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Such a method was truly remarkable.

For a time, both Ancestor Cang Tian and Ancestor Huang Tian regarded Rahu with increased caution.

Beyond the Eastern Wilderness lay a vast ocean, with surging tides like silver mountains and fish entering the depths, and shimmering seas with waves like snow, revealing abysses.

The sea was a expanse of clear blue waves, with the distant horizon meeting the water.

Large flocks of strange birds soared by the sea, some with one eye, some with two heads, some with three tails, and so on.

Within the sea, there were even more creatures: fish, shellfish, seaweeds, corals...

From time to time, dragon shadows could be seen.

Where the spiritual energy surged on the seabed, True Dragons would invariably coil.

Dragons were the leaders of scaled creatures, possessing nine resemblances: their heads resembled camels, their horns resembled deer, their eyes resembled rabbits, their ears resembled oxen, their necks resembled snakes, their bellies resembled conchs, their scales resembled carp, their claws resembled eagles, and their palms resembled tigers.

A divine and extraordinary True Dragon rested with its eyes closed on the seabed. Its back bore eighty-one scales, embodying the ninety-nine Yang numbers.

From a distance, a dragon's roar sounded like bronze plates clashing.

Looking again at the dragon's mouth, it had whiskers on either side, an inverted scale beneath its throat, and a Boshan on its head, also known as Chimu.

Suddenly, a True Dragon emerged from the sea, soaring upwards. It exhaled mist into clouds, capable of transforming water and fire.

Dragon fire, when encountering moisture, would flare; when encountering water, it would burn; when pursued by human fire, it would extinguish.

It could be hidden or bright, small or large, short or long. It ascended to the heavens on the spring equinox and dived into the abyss on the autumn equinox.

Dragons had nine sons, each with different characteristics. Not only did Ancestor Dragon have nine sons, but the first batch of True Dragons also had nine sons. (Nine is the extreme number; this nine is a figurative term, meaning many.)

For example, Ancestor Dragon had a son named Ying Long, who was a True Dragon with wings on its back.

In later myths, Ying Long held a very high position, slaying Chi You and Kuafu, assisting Yu the Great in flood control, even giving birth to Phoenixes and Kirins, opening the heavens and earth, and most outrageously, nurturing Pangu.

There were also creatures like Hui, Qiu, Chi, Jiao, Pan, and Shen.

As for those like the Pig-Faced Dragon, it was best not to mention them.

At the bottom of the East Sea, on the largest spiritual vein, there was a Dragon Palace, magnificent and resplendent, filled with auspicious energy and enveloped in mist.

This was Ancestor Dragon's palace.

Squads of valiant Dragon Race warriors guarded this Dragon Palace.

Only True Dragons were qualified to guard this Dragon Palace.

Creatures like Flood Dragons were simply not eligible.

Deep within the Dragon Palace, Ancestor Dragon was in seclusion, cultivating.

The Dragon Race's Destiny grew stronger daily, greatly benefiting Ancestor Dragon's cultivation.

While Ancestor Dragon was in seclusion, all matters of the Dragon Race, big and small, were discussed and decided by several Great Experts of the Dragon Race.

Currently, there were over a dozen Great Experts of the Dragon Race. Some of these were Innate beings whom the Dragon Race had won over, while only a few were True Dragons.

Besides Ancestor Dragon, the current Great Expert True Dragons included Azure Dragon, Black Dragon, and Mysterious Dragon, among others.

There was also the mysterious Candle Dragon.

A vast magical power erupted from Ancestor Dragon's place of seclusion.

This magical power spanned approximately seven billion years, exceeding one Great Tribulation.

The magical power of one Great Tribulation was the minimum standard for a Quasi-Sage, so magical power accumulated over seven billion years naturally indicated a Quasi-Sage level.

The hundreds of thousands of True Dragons guarding the Dragon Palace all felt this surge of power.

This was the power of Ancestor Dragon.

For a time, the eyes of hundreds of thousands of True Dragons turned fanatically towards Ancestor Dragon's secluded cultivation place.

The clan leader had broken through to the Hunyuan level of cultivation.

Already the foremost race in the Primordial Era, the Dragon Race was now even more powerful.

Given time, the Primordial Era would surely become the Dragon Race's Primordial Era.

Even the Phoenix Clan and the Kirin Clan would sooner or later have to submit to the Dragon Race.

These hundreds of thousands of True Dragons firmly believed this.

"Hahaha..." With a hearty laugh, Ancestor Dragon reined in his power.

"What's going on? The Destiny of the Dragon Race is actually increasing!"

Many Great Experts in the Primordial Era noticed the change in the Dragon Race's Destiny.

Originally, although the Dragon Race's Destiny was on an upward trend, the increase was not significant. But now, it had suddenly surged.

This was very unusual.

In their surprise, many Great Experts felt a sense of apprehension.

A Dragon Race that was too powerful was not something many Great Experts wished to see.

On the Immortal Volcano, Yuan Feng's figure appeared. Her eyebrows were like kingfisher feathers, her skin like fine mutton fat, her black hair like a waterfall, and her gaze flowed with divine light. Clad in a magnificent and noble Seven-Colored Rainbow Robe, her every move was breathtakingly elegant.

In terms of beauty, no one in the current Primordial Era could compare to Yuan Feng.

At this moment, Yuan Feng's beautiful eyes looked towards the East Sea with a solemn expression.

She had also noticed the change in the Dragon Race's Destiny.

Even if the Dragon Race had obtained a few Innate Spiritual Treasures, their Destiny would not have increased this much.

She couldn't deduce the exact reason, but after analysis, she suspected that Ancestor Dragon's cultivation had broken through to the Hunyuan level.

Hunyuan level cultivation was that of a Quasi-Sage, also known as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

When a Hunyuan Golden Immortal attained the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, they could then be called a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

A Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal whose Primordial Spirit was entrusted to the Heavenly Dao was a Sage.

The Destiny in the world was finite. If the Dragon Race's Destiny increased, other races might experience a loss of Destiny.

Of course, as the Primordial Era continued to grow, Destiny would also become vaster.

Currently, the Phoenix Clan's Destiny was still increasing, and the rate of increase had not slowed down.

Looking at it this way, the surge in the Dragon Race's Destiny had no impact on the Phoenix Clan. However, if a person does not plan for distant goals, they will surely face sorrow nearby.

One who does not plan for ten thousand generations cannot plan for a single generation.

By the time it affected the Phoenix Clan's Destiny, it would be too late.

Below Buzhou Mountain, the First Kirin also wore a solemn expression.

For the time being, the surge in the Dragon Race's Destiny had not affected the Kirin Clan.

Following this, the First Kirin announced his intention to go into seclusion.

The Kirin Clan did not yet have a Quasi-Sage. If the Dragon Race already had one, the Kirin Clan would be at a significant disadvantage if they were to confront each other.

Therefore, the First Kirin decided to enter a death seclusion, vowing not to emerge until he broke through to the Quasi-Sage realm.

He also took a large amount of top-tier resources from the clan.

"It seems Ancestor Dragon has broken through to Quasi-Sage."

Somewhere in the Primordial Era, Lu Ya murmured to himself.

He was merely a little surprised, not overly shocked.

As the leader of the foremost race in the Primordial Era, it was only natural for his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds with the help of Great Destiny.

Moreover, Ancestor Dragon's origins were extraordinary.

In the entire Primordial Era, few could match Ancestor Dragon's origins.

With Ancestor Dragon's greatly increased cultivation, the Dragon Race would undoubtedly become even more powerful, but Lu Ya was indifferent.

Although he had joined the Phoenix Clan, he did not have deep emotional ties to them.

Simply put, Lu Ya lacked a sense of belonging to the Phoenix Clan.

This was also quite normal.

Setting aside the influence of his memories from his previous life, Lu Ya's current body was merely a clone of the Sun Star.

Of course, now that he had joined the Phoenix Clan, he didn't mind contributing.

However, it was impossible for Lu Ya to wholeheartedly plan for the Phoenix Clan.

Suddenly, Lu Ya's mind stirred; it was Yuan Feng contacting him.

When Lu Ya sent a wisp of his divine sense into the Phoenix Clan's Consciousness Realm, he discovered that Yuan Feng had not only contacted him but also the Vermillion Bird, Black Bird, and others.

Regarding the Myriad Birds Banner, it was progressing steadily; it was a major 'project' for the Phoenix Clan.

This time, Yuan Feng had contacted the clan's powerful members to discuss dealing with the Dragon Race.

Yuan Feng planned to go into seclusion, striving to break through to the Quasi-Sage realm as soon as possible.

Additionally, it was necessary for the Phoenix Clan to initiate more 'projects,' such as refining the Dragon Slaying Sword, Dragon Slaying Saber, and Dragon Binding Rope, with the core objective being to target the Dragon Race.

He imagined the Kirin Clan would also undertake some 'treasure refining projects' targeting the Dragon Race.

Of course, refining one Innate Spiritual Treasure was already difficult, and Yuan Feng did not dare to think about refining multiple Innate Spiritual Treasures.
