Entering Dragon Abyss, Ancestral Dragon Resurrected
Haotian may not be as strong as Di Jun, but he has one major advantage.
That means you have gained the approval of Heaven.
Despite the fact that many cultivators looked down on Haotian's identity, he was, after all, Hongjun's attendant.
Even saints have to give them some face, let alone others.
The Dragon Clan' plea for help was destined to be in vain.
In fact, the fate of the Dragon Clan was already sealed when Haotian set out to conquer the East Sea.
Cihang had no grudge against Haotian, so naturally she wouldn't sabotage Haotian's plans for the sake of the Dragon Clan.
As for the Sanqing, although they have been suppressing the Heavenly Court, they still have to take into account the identity of the Haotian.
In a sense, Haotian represents Hongjun, the rule of heaven and earth.
Unless Haotian has committed any obvious wrongdoing, they cannot openly attack Haotian.
With the Dragon Clan submitting, Haotian successfully established his authority in the Primordial World.
Consequently, the prestige of the Heavenly Court also soared.
Many cultivators who were still observing also joined the Heavenly Court, which greatly increased Haotian's strength.
Cihang didn't pay much attention to this.
Compared to the Dragon Clan, he was quite curious about the situation in Longyuan.
Was Longyuan sealed away, or did something else happen?
Those who have truly entered Longyuan Cihang know that the Dragon Clan's foundation is extremely profound.
He had genuinely suspected that the Ancestral Dragon had not truly perished, but was instead accumulating power in an attempt to return to the Primordial World.
However, this time the Dragon Clan completely belonged to the Heavenly Court, and even the Dragon Clan's fortune was gathered in the Heavenly Court.
If the Ancestral Dragon truly did not perish, he should take some action.
After seeing Ao Qin off, Cihang also left Mount Luojia and set off for the East China Sea.
He wanted to see what changes had occurred in Longyuan that made it impossible for the Dragon Clan to contact it.
The All Beings Seal was unleashed, Cihang headed straight for the Sea Eye.
The pressure from the Sea Eye is terrifying, but it cannot harm Cihang in the slightest.
He used to need the protective array left by the Dragon Clan, but now he doesn't need it at all.
As the Primordial Stars- like Dragon Abyss came into view, Cihang showed a surprised expression.
Compared to the last time, Longyuan is now much stronger.
A faint roar of a giant dragon seemed to emanate from within, radiating boundless majesty.
At this moment, Longyuan even put considerable pressure on Cihang.
"The Ancestral Dragon has indeed not perished!"
At this moment, Cihang was certain that the Ancestral Dragon had not perished.
Cihang knew very well that this Dragon Abyss was transformed from the Dragon Pearl of the Ancestral Dragon.
It now appears that not only did the Ancestral Dragon not perish, but he has even recovered a considerable amount of his strength.
But given the current fortune of the Dragon Clan race, can the Ancestral Dragon really recover so quickly?
There was another point that puzzled Cihang greatly.
That is because of the merit of suppressing the four seas, the Four Seas Dragon Clan should not be so weak.
And all of this is because of the Ancestral Dragon.
What exactly was the Ancestral Dragon) planning?
Cihang did not continue forward, hesitating whether she really wanted to go in.
Even without a full recovery, the Ancestral Dragon remains the sole ruler within Dragon Abyss.
Taking risks out of momentary curiosity is clearly not worthwhile.
"Since you've already arrived, why not come inside and have a chat?"
As if sensing Cihang's hesitation, a strange yet majestic voice echoed from Longyuan.
A golden dragon flew out from Dragon Abyss and landed right at Cihang's feet.
Now that I've received the invitation, there's no reason for me to avoid it.
Although Cihang was wary of the Ancestral Dragon, she was not afraid of him.
Unless the Ancestral Dragon was truly foolish, he wouldn't have attacked him at this time.
Cihang leaped onto the dragon's head and vanished into the Sea Eye in an instant.
Upon stepping into Dragon Abyss once again, Cihang discovered tremendous changes.
The once dark and desolate Dragon Abyss is now full of life.
Dragon pearls hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire Dragon Abyss.
However, beneath their feet was not the earth, but an endless expanse of corpses.
Cihang remembered that the last time she entered this place, there were also many Dragon Clan.
But at that time, most of these Dragon Clan were asleep, and they still showed obvious signs of life.
On the contrary, actual corpses are extremely rare.
But now it was different; all that could be seen were rows and rows of dragon skeletons.
Moreover, these corpses continued to emit a steady stream of dragon energy, which seeped into the only palace in the center.
Supporting the temple was the broken body of the Candle Dragon.
Compared to the Dragon Clan whose life force has been extinguished, the Candle Dragon still retains a glimmer of hope.
However, it is already on the verge of extinction.
Occasionally, the corpses would run out of energy and completely weather away and dissipate.
Seeing this, Cihang understood everything.
Why is it that even though the Dragon Clan occupies the four seas and possesses the destiny to suppress the Sea Eye, the Dragon Clan's Karmic Debt has not diminished in the slightest?
This is because all of this fortune was seized by the Ancestral Dragon.
Furthermore, the very life force of these billions of the Dragon Clan was also absorbed and devoured by the Ancestral Dragon.
The Ancestral Dragon was completely concerned about the entire Dragon Clan supporting him.
It was also because the Ancestral Dragon Abyss that it was unable to respond to the Dragon Clan.
Although the Ancestral Dragon has been resurrected, it is far from reaching its peak and is clearly unable to leave Dragon Abyss at this time.
"Fellow Daoist, please come into the Crystal Palace for a chat!"
Just as Cihang was observing Longyuan, Ancestral Dragon had already walked out of the main hall and extended another invitation to Cihang.
"Cihang greets Ancestral Dragon. Congratulations on your rebirth after overcoming tribulation!"
Cihang offered his congratulations, but his expression was extremely complicated.
It's true that the Ancestral Dragon was resurrected, but his resurrection came at the cost of countless Dragon Clan.
It should be noted that these Dragon Clan had all steadfastly supported and believed in him.
If it weren't for the Ancestral Dragon, they would have had hope of recovery.
"Do you think I'm being too cruel, fellow Daoist?"
Ancestral Dragon immediately saw through Cihang's thoughts.
Not just Cihang, any cultivator who witnessed this scene would have the same thought!
"These are the choices made by fellow Daoists and the Dragon Clan themselves; Cihang has no right to comment!"
Although Cihang disagreed, she would not subjectively deny the existence of the Ancestral Dragon.
Although those Dragon Clan perished because they were supporting the Ancestral Dragon, Cihang did not sense any resentment.
It is clear that these Dragon Clan all volunteered, including the Candle Dragon.
"If I could, I wouldn't want to be resurrected in this way."
But I had no other choice.
If I were to truly perish, these people would no longer be able to survive in the Primordial World.
"Modern cultivators will not allow the Dragon Clan to recover its strength!"
The Ancestral Dragon let out a sigh, his gaze not falling on Cihang, but instead fixed on the countless dragon pearls filling the sky.
It is indeed a cause for celebration that he has regained consciousness, but his resurrection came at the cost of the lives of billions of the Dragon Clan.
"So that's how it is. I misunderstood Ancestral Dragon."
As you said, you only exist within the Dragon Clan!
"One day, these people will be able to, like the Ancestral Dragon, recreate the glory of the Dragon Clan in the world!"
Following the gaze of the Ancestral Dragon, Cihang then carefully examined the Dragon Clan.
He discovered that those dragon balls not only contained abundant energy, but also extraordinary spirituality.
Only then did he realize that Dragon Clan were different from other creatures; they possessed a kind of second Dragon Clan.
These Dragon Clan did not perish completely; instead, they preserved a True Spirit Consciousness through the Dragon Pearl.
Even so, resurrection is not so easy.
The Dragon Clan has long lost its former foundation and strength.
