The news brought by Ao Qin piqued Cihang's interest.

The Yuanshi subjugated the Dragon Clan? This was something that had never happened in his memory.

In his future memories, Yuanshi never paid much attention to Huang Long or the Dragon Clan.

If it's not a memory lapse, then he must have overlooked important information.

Looking back now, it's not entirely impossible.

The Yuanshi accepted Huang Long might actually indicate that he had plans to target the Dragon Clan.

However, Huang Long never took any action and completely severed ties with the Dragon Clan.

Was Yuanshi disliked Huang Long because of his origins, or because Huang Long himself was incompetent?

Cihang guessed it was the latter.

Yuanshi truly disliked the Dragon Clan, he wouldn't have taken Huang Long as his disciple.

Huang Long's inaction was the main reason for Yuanshi's displeasure.

However, Cihang still had one question: although the Dragon Clan's foundation was not shallow, their Karma Karmic Debt were equally terrifying.

If one truly brings the Dragon Clan under one's control, then one will inevitably have to accept the Dragon Clan's Karmic Debt.

That immense Karmic Debt has a profound impact even on saints.

Is it really worth it just for a Dragon Clan?

"After all, Huang Long is a disciple of a sage. Since he is willing to unify the Dragon Clan, it must be due to the sage's will."

"Being protected by the Yuanshi Sage should be a joyous occasion for the Dragon Clan!"

Cihang was also puzzled by the Dragon Clan's attitude towards this matter.

Cihang knew that the Dragon Clan did not want to be subservient to other forces.

However, he felt that the Dragon Clan had not yet realized their own predicament.

Although they dislike Huang Long, they shouldn't give up such an opportunity because of that.

With the protection of a sage, the Dragon Clan race will be able to escape their current predicament in no time.

"If that's the case, we certainly won't be ungrateful and refuse."

However, the Yuanshi Sage only needs the Dragon Clan to serve him, but is unwilling to protect the Dragon Clan.

"Once we agree, we become pawns that can be discarded at any time."

Ao Qin's expression was filled with resentment and helplessness.

Yuanshi wanted to use the Dragon Clan to control part of the Heavenly Court's power, but he was unwilling to bear the Dragon Clan's Karmic Debt.

That explains why the Dragon Clan refused.

"I see, but you overestimate me, fellow Daoist."

I am now merely a quasi-saint, powerless to change the saint's decision.

Although she understood the whole story, Cihang had no intention of interfering.

He has already alienated Taiqing and will not further provoke hatred for himself.

It's not worth it for the sake of the Dragon Clan.

In his view, even though the Dragon Clan has fallen to such a state, it has not abandoned its former glory and pride.

To gain recognition, they should first demonstrate their own value.

Although Yuanshi was unwilling to use his own merits to diminish the Karmic Debt of the Dragon Clan.

But isn't this also an opportunity for the Dragon Clan?

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. Ao Qin is well aware of the power of a sage."

Nor would they allow the God to take risks for the Dragon Clan.

"This time, I'm requesting an audience with the Divine Lord to ask for your help in awakening the hidden potential of a Dragon Clan!"

Ao Qin carefully stated his request.

"The Dragon Clan's foundation? This time, they're not facing Tai Yi."

Even if Candle Dragon were to be resurrected, let alone the Ancestral Dragon, it might not be able to change the sage's decision.

The Dragon Clan has fallen; there's no need to persist in this pointless struggle!

Cihang frowned deeply.

He knew the Dragon Clan had some resources, but in front of a saint, those resources meant nothing.

Seeing the Dragon Clan's repeated irrational decisions, Cihang also began to consider leaving the Dragon Clan.

If things continue like this, no matter how powerful the Dragon Clan are, he will not want to get involved.

"The deity has misunderstood."

We know that the will of a sage is difficult to defy; they simply want to gain more benefits.

If Huang Long were to take control of the Dragon Clan, my Dragon Clan would likely fall into his hands."

Sensing Cihang's displeasure, Ao Qin knelt down again.

"Alright, for the sake of our past friendship, I'll help you this one time."

"I hope the Dragon Clan will not regret their choice today!"

Cihang agreed to Ao Qin's request, considering it the end of their previous relationship.

At the same time, he also realized that, given his current condition, his secluded cultivation would be ineffective.

A breakthrough can be achieved quickly, but the right opportunity is still needed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ao Qin bowed deeply in gratitude.

"Although I promised you, don't be too optimistic."

After his last attack, Candle Dragon may not have the strength to fight again, and he might not even be able to awaken!

In Cihang's view, although there are many powerful members of the Dragon Clan who have gone into hiding, there are very few Quasi-Saints.

Aside from Candle Dragon, the Dragon Clan may not have any other peak Quasi-Saints.

"Reporting to the Divine Lord."

Thanks to the divine gift, my father recently broke through to the Great Luo realm.

We successfully entered Dragon Abyss, but the Candle Dragon Ancestor was still seriously injured and unable to fight any longer.

It was also at the behest of the Candle Dragon Ancestor that the Azure Dragon Ancestor was asked to take action.

We humbly request the divine deity's assistance in sending this Jade Pendant to the Eastern Extremity Secret Realm.

Ao Qin and the Dragon Clan are extremely grateful!

As he spoke, Ao Qin took out a dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, which was the token he was going to give to the Azure Dragon.

The Dragon Clan dared to refuse Huang Long precisely because they received orders from Candle Dragon.

Otherwise, even if they were influenced by Karmic Debt, they would not dare to disobey the will of the sage.

"So that's how it is! I had completely forgotten about the existence of the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable!"

"Although the Eastern Extremity Secret Realm is dangerous, even Great Luo Immortal could barely enter it, so why bother coming to me?"

Cihang looked enlightened.

Because the Four Extremity Saint Beasts never set foot in the Primordial World, Cihang always subconsciously ignored their existence.

Only then did Cihang realize that the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable was the greatest treasure of the Dragon Clan.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my father also attempted to enter the Eastern Extremity Secret Realm before."

However, the restrictions of the secret realm have prevented my Dragon Clan from entering.

Left with no other choice, they had to beg the divine deity for help!

Ao Qin explained.

"Then I'll go to the Eastern Extremity Secret Realm. You go back to the Dragon Palace and wait for news!"

After receiving the Jade Pendant, Cihang and Ao Qin left the Glazed Immortal Realm together.

Cihang originally only decided to help Ao Qin out of courtesy, but after hearing about the Eastern Extremity Secret Realm, she was filled with anticipation for the trip.

The Human Emperor's legacy records that the Four Extremes Secret Realm is the place where Chaos Demon God fell, and there must be chaotic remnants within it.

Cihang rode the escape light, rapidly heading towards the easternmost region.

"Greetings, Cihang! Thank you for your kindness in helping me!"

As soon as Cihang approached the easternmost point, he encountered the Four Dragon Kings, who treated him with utmost respect.

"No need for formalities, please rise!"

Now that I have promised Ao Qin, I will deliver the Jade Pendant into the hands of the Azure Dragon God.

As for whether the Holy Venerable is willing to take action, and when he will take action, that is beyond my control!

After saying this, Cihang ignored the Four Dragon Kings and leaped into the Eastern Extremity Secret Realm.

The barrier that blocked the Four Dragon Kings seemed to exist as if it did not exist for Cihang.

In an instant, they found themselves in the Eastern Extremity Secret Realm, where a dense and violent power of wood spirit energy rushed towards them.

"The Cihang of the South Sea requests an audience with the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable!"

Aside from the difference in spiritual energy attributes, this place is extremely similar to the Western Extremity Secret Realm.

A magnificent temple can be vaguely seen standing in the center of the secret realm.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Cihang. It's rare to have a fellow Daoist visit this Eastern Extremity Secret Realm. Please, Fellow Daoist, enter the main hall for a chat!"

The Azure Dragon appeared out of thin air and politely invited Cihang into the main hall.
