Another mount had been added just like that.
Fine. Since that was the case, Poor Daoist would accept Ao Jiang.
Although I have Ink Jade Qilin, my second and third brothers have yet to be born and have no mounts.
Ao Jiang could serve as the mount of my second or third brother.
The Phoenix Clan would likely send a junior to repay Causality as well.
By then, all three of us Sanqing could have mounts.
That would not be bad.
With that in mind, Taiqing readily agreed.
"Fine then, Ao Jiang. Follow by my side.
"I have two younger brothers. The three of us are Sanqing, and Sanqing are one whole.
"When the time comes, you may choose one of my two younger brothers to serve.
"That will count as repaying the Causality you owe me."
Hearing Taiqing's words, Ao Jiang felt somewhat doubtful, uncertain whether he should follow Taiqing's arrangement.
But then, a voice rang out in Ao Jiang's mind.
"Agree to it."
That voice had come from none other than Ancestral Dragon.
The states of Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Beginning Qilin were now extremely peculiar.
They were similar to becoming one with Heaven and Earth.
Though constrained by Heaven and Earth, they could also draw upon its power, disregarding distance to give instructions to their younger clansmen in the Primordial Wilderness.
However, they could only instruct juniors connected to their own Destiny.
They had no such ability when it came to other living beings.
That was also why Ancestral Dragon had not personally transmitted his voice to Taiqing.
Ancestral Dragon had already used the authority over Heaven and Earth under his control to calculate the matter. Taiqing's words were indeed true and greatly benefited the Dragon Clan.
"This little dragon is willing to obey the eldest master's orders."
Since his clan leader had already given the order, Ao Jiang naturally hesitated no longer and immediately bowed before Taiqing.
"Mm, good. Follow by my side for now. Once I return to Kunlun, I will let you choose for yourself."
To be honest, Ao Jiang, this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, certainly had an impressive appearance.
He was no worse than Ink Jade Qilin in the slightest.
After all, both came from one of the three innate clans.
However, the path Ao Jiang cultivated did not suit Taiqing, so Taiqing naturally would not choose him as his own mount.
After all, no one had ever said that one could only have a single mount.
It was like how a person could own several carriages at once.
As long as one had the ability, there was usually no limit to the number.
"This little dragon obeys the eldest master's orders."
Ao Jiang silently followed behind Ink Jade Qilin, looking ready to heed Taiqing's commands at any moment.
"Ao Jiang, your Dragon Clan has dwelled in the Eastern Sea for countless Eons. Do you know anything about the Three Immortal Islands?"
Since Taiqing intended to search for the Three Immortal Islands, the Dragon Clan was the best race from which to gather information.
The Dragon Clan possessed the Four Seas and held extremely strong control over them.
After all, even by the time of Journey to the West, the Dragon Clan remained the lords of the Four Seas.
That alone showed just how firmly the Dragon Clan controlled the Four Seas.
What was more, the current Dragon Clan had only just returned to the waterways of the Four Seas with Ancestral Dragon and its elite members.
Though their control over the Four Seas had declined, they had once been its overlords.
Their control over the Eastern Sea remained intact.
If the Three Immortal Islands showed even the slightest sign, the Dragon Clan would naturally have recorded it.
Perhaps the Dragon Clan had even gained many benefits from the Three Immortal Islands.
"Eldest Master, you have certainly asked the right person about the Three Immortal Islands.
"When it comes to understanding the Three Immortal Islands, no race in the Primordial Wilderness can compare to my Dragon Clan."
The moment Taiqing asked about the Three Immortal Islands, Ao Jiang immediately perked up.
He spoke in an endless stream, revealing without reservation all of the Dragon Clan's records concerning the Three Immortal Islands over countless Eons.
According to the Dragon Clan's records, the Three Immortal Islands had yet to emerge into the world and were completely hidden within the Chaos Void, impossible to locate.
However, at regular intervals, the Three Immortal Islands would intersect with the Great Desolation World.
The location of every intersection was uncertain. The only certainty was that it would be within the Eastern Sea.
During the period when the Three Immortal Islands intersected with the Primordial Wilderness, living beings of the Primordial Wilderness could enter them to seek opportunities or visit the islands for other purposes.
But the period of intersection was extremely brief. At most, after one Eon, the Three Immortal Islands would once again separate from the Great Desolation World.
They would then hide back within Chaos and move along with the Great Desolation World.
Furthermore, each of the Three Immortal Islands intersected with the Primordial Wilderness at different times.
Thus, during the same period, living beings of the Primordial Wilderness could only choose one island to ascend at a time.
Over so many Eons, the Dragon Clan had boarded the Three Immortal Islands on quite a few occasions.
The reason the Dragon Clan was so wealthy was partly because it possessed the Four Seas.
The other reason was that it had ascended the Three Immortal Islands many times and obtained many fine treasures from them.
However, because the Three Immortal Islands had yet to emerge into the world, even the Dragon Clan could not enter their true cores.
The genuine treasures of the Three Immortal Islands were all preserved within their cores.
Still, Taiqing did not insist on entering the cores of the Three Immortal Islands.
All he sought was to enter any one of the Three Immortal Islands and use the innate advantage of being free from the control and influence of the Heavenly Dao.
Before the Dao-Devil War ended, he merely wished to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm and embark upon the Law Path to Sainthood.
"So, the next island to intersect with the Primordial Wilderness will be Penglai Immortal Island?"
After listening to Ao Jiang's explanation, Taiqing distilled the information useful to himself.
"Reporting to the eldest master, based on the Dragon Clan's past records and experience.
"The immortal island that will intersect with the Primordial Wilderness in roughly the next Eon is indeed Penglai Immortal Island."
The Three Immortal Islands included Penglai Immortal Island, Fangzhang Immortal Island, and Yingzhou Immortal Island.
The three islands were roughly equal, all formed from the largest fragments of Chaos after Great God Pangu created Heaven and Earth.
Thus, they were often collectively called the Three Immortal Islands.
These Three Immortal Islands were not the same as the Three Immortal Islands inhabited by the three fairies Yun Xiao, Bi Xiao, and Qiong Xiao, where "three immortals" referred to the three fairies.
For Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, the Three Immortal Islands simply meant three immortal islands.
"Roughly one Eon... Time is rather tight. Can you determine the general area where Penglai Immortal Island will emerge?"
To advance to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm without the aid of boundless Destiny or vast amounts of merit—
Relying solely on Taiqing himself, the difficulty was beyond ordinary measure.
Taiqing needed to raise himself to the most complete state possible within this roughly one-Eon period.
Otherwise, even if he remained on the immortal island for ten Eons, he would likely find it difficult to advance into the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
Moreover, if the immortal island emerged in the depths of the Eastern Sea, merely reaching that place would take one or two Eons.
By the time Taiqing arrived, the island would have already hidden itself back within Chaos.
It would be best if he could determine a general area.
"Reporting to the eldest master, based on the Dragon Clan's experience from recording the locations where Penglai Immortal Island emerged over the years.
"This time, Penglai Immortal Island should emerge roughly in the direction several tens of thousands of years' flight east of here."
"Several tens of thousands of years at full speed? Then lead the way. We will head there now."
Since the area had already been confirmed, Taiqing waited no longer.
He only needed to go to that stretch of sea and wait.
The Dragon Clan had come to repay Causality, so they naturally would not deceive him.
If they did deceive him, the Causality would only become greater.
Ao Jiang led the way in front while Taiqing sat cross-legged atop Ink Jade Qilin's back, meditating and cultivating.
The three figures sped at full pace toward the direction Ao Jiang had indicated.
