Dragon Clan's Backlash

From the resurrection of the Ancestral Dragon to the great battle with Haotian, and finally to his death and oath, he exceeded everyone's expectations time and time again.

It was only at this moment that everyone realized that the Ancestral Dragon had not been resurrected, but merely manifested his consciousness and forcibly appeared in the world.

Even if he doesn't perish completely this time, the foundation he accumulated over millions of years has been completely exhausted.

His goal was nothing more than to reclaim the Dragon Clan's inherited spiritual treasure and once again allow the Dragon Clan to break away from the Heavenly Court and establish its own independent destiny.

Outside the South Heaven Gate, only Haotian, his face contorted with rage, remained.

Seeing the Ancestral Dragon and its inherited spiritual treasures return to the East Sea, Haotian hesitated for a long time but still did not make any further moves.

He previously subdued the Dragon Clan in order to strengthen the Heavenly Court.

Now that the Investiture of the Gods of gods is imminent, the role of the Dragon Clan has become negligible.

Even if the Dragon Clan was once incredibly powerful, its strongest members today are only a few Daluo Golden Immortal.

It didn't attract Haotian's attention at all.

As for Ancestral Dragon, being able to make a move even once is already his limit.

Even if they hadn't perished, it would be impossible to recreate the Primordial World in a short time.

More importantly, now that the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has broken out, it would be best for him to refrain from taking action to avoid causing further trouble.

Although he only went along with the trend of Investiture of the Gods this time, he was well aware that all the saints harbored resentment towards him.

He was not afraid of the Dragon Clan, but he feared the schemes of the saints.

Having just survived a calamity, he really didn't want to go through it again.

Moreover, even with the Dragon Clan's current strength, without the protection of the Heavenly Court, they still cannot escape the situation where everyone can bully them.

In Haotian's view, the Ancestral Dragon's actions were undoubtedly courting his own destruction.

Although he tried his best to suppress the Dragon Clan, with the protection of the Heavenly Court's Fortune, the Dragon Clan was not about to be wiped out.

But things are different now.

He didn't believe that the Dragon Clan could survive this great calamity unscathed.

The wealth and resources accumulated by the Dragon Clan over hundreds of millions of years have attracted the covetous eyes of many cultivators.

Haotian glanced coldly at the East Sea, then returned directly to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to oversee the Heavenly Court's Fortune.

He will not intervene in this calamity, but will instead Investiture of the Gods in the Heavenly Court.

Even if you cannot fully accept it as your master, you should still be able to use it freely and appropriately.

That's the foundation of his future confidence.

It wasn't just Haotian; most cultivators shared the same view.

In reality, the Ancestral Dragon must have possessed extremely high wisdom to be able to contend for supremacy for a great eon.

How could he not know the potential dangers of this move?

But he had no choice. The Dragon Clan did not need to merely survive; they needed to truly establish themselves in the Primordial World.

Even if the Dragon Clan faces numerous crises in the future, he will never regret it.

He wants to use this time to recover quickly.

Everyone thought that he had exhausted all his energy and resources for this battle.

In reality, he didn't use his newly repaired physical body at all; he simply gathered countless spiritual treasures using the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.

What he consumed was merely some spiritual energy and primordial spirit power.

Recovery isn't that difficult.

If he can truly be resurrected, then all the crises facing the Dragon Clan will be resolved.

The Ancestral Dragon Pearl returned to the East Sea and transformed into the Dragon Abyss to suppress the East Sea Eye.

With the return of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, the East Sea has become completely calm, as if the previous storm had never happened at all.

At the same time, the billions of the Dragon Clan on the sea surface had also vanished without a trace, all returning to the Crystal Palace of the East Sea.

They reclaimed the inherited spiritual treasure, and the Dragon Clan regained its independence.

From the perspective of the Dragon Clan, this was entirely a joyous occasion.

But the Dragon Clan are not happy now.

Inside the Dragon Clan's main hall, the Four Dragon Kings all looked at the two heirloom treasures with grave expressions.

On the surface, this seems like a good thing.

But that's under the condition that the Ancestral Dragon is truly resurrected.

Now, the Ancestral Dragon has fallen silent once again, and the strength of the Dragon Clan has not changed in the slightest.

Furthermore, having lost the protection of the Heavenly Court's Fortune, they truly had no idea how to protect themselves during this great calamity.

Although the Dragon Clan is weak, its heritage is extremely ancient, so it naturally knows the terror of the great calamity of heaven and earth.

Even recently, countless Great Luo forces had perished in an instant.

Aside from having a longer history, the Dragon Clan isn't much stronger than them.

Even an ordinary quasi-saint would be enough to annihilate them.

Given this situation, how could they not be worried?

But even if you worry, it's all in vain.

They simply have no way to improve their strength in a short period of time.

Now, the Dragon Clan can only continue to endure and live in seclusion.

Their original intention to compete for some luck was completely abandoned.

They even relinquished their only authority in the four seas, and the Four Seas Dragon Clan adopted a semi-secluded state.

Despite this, they still couldn't defeat those cultivators with their own agendas.

The backlash against the Dragon Clan's independence also followed.

Cultivators frequently come to the Dragon Palace seeking treasures.

This time, they had no right to refuse and went to great lengths to satisfy the monks' requests.

The Dragon Clan's attitude made these cultivators lose the will to attack Dragon Clan.

Those who truly covet the Dragon Palace's spiritual treasures are all mid-level cultivators.

Although they looked down on the Dragon Clan, it would be a stretch to say that they would wipe Dragon Clan out.

Moreover, they also knew that although the Ancestral Dragon was no longer able to fight, it had not completely perished, and they still had a slight fear of the Dragon Clan.

Now that these cultivators have obtained the spiritual treasures and items they needed, Dragon Clan has gained peace, it can be said that everyone is happy.

The Dragon Clan' actions, in fact, allowed them to make many connections with powerful rogue cultivators.

Even so, it still couldn't put the Dragon Clan at ease.

Their concern has never been for these Daluo Golden Immortal, but rather for those Quasi-Saints.

Because of their inner worries, the Dragon Clan became increasingly restrained and cautious.

This also means that the Dragon Clan, despite having Daluo Golden Immortal guarding them, still has to be careful when facing Taiyi or even Golden Immortals.

Such a change was incredibly frustrating for the Dragon Clan, yet they dared not show any strength.

The Dragon Clan's concerns were seen as unnecessary by many powerful figures.

With the strength and foundation of a Quasi-Saint, he actually looks down on the current Dragon Clan.

Furthermore, the Dragon Clan itself carries heavy Karmic Debt, so attacking the Dragon Clan would be a losing proposition.

Furthermore, the existence of the Ancestral Dragon also made them wary.

If the Ancestral Dragon could make a move once, he might be able to do so again.

But clearly, the Dragon Clan were genuinely afraid.

While continuously enduring and making concessions, they also began to seek help from all sides.

Any powerful individual who has even the slightest connection with the Dragon Clan is within their selection range.

Some Dragon Clan, in order to protect themselves, are even willing to become the mounts of the strong.

Ao Qin also managed to pray to Mount Luojia once again.

However, Ao Qin could only return disappointed in the end.

Cihang didn't harbor much ill will towards the Dragon Clan, but she wouldn't offer protection at this time.

In his view, the Dragon Clan were being far too cautious.

As long as it is not confirmed that the Ancestral Dragon has completely perished, those cultivators, even if they have some intentions, will not really go after everyone.

In fact, for the Dragon Clan, there is an even more stable backer.

That was Huang Long, the son of the Ancestral Dragon.

Huang Long himself was not highly skilled, but he was Chan Sect Disciple.

If he is willing, although he cannot help the Dragon Clan restore its fortune and strength, he can certainly ensure the Dragon Clan's safety.

Unfortunately, ever since he became a disciple of Yuanshi, Huang Long has completely severed ties with the Dragon Clan to show his sincerity.

This time, the Dragon Clan sought help but were unable to even meet the Huang Long himself.
