A Dilemma: The Dragon Clan Seeks Help
If it were during their heyday, the Dragon Clan would naturally not have these concerns.
But the Dragon Clan of today is not like that.
They may seem to rule the world, but they are merely surviving cautiously among numerous powerful figures.
Nowadays, no one can afford to offend the Dragon Clan.
Are they willing to accept this? Of course not.
Especially those who had witnessed the glory of the Dragon Clan, but in order to survive, they had to compromise.
Due to the influence of Karmic Debt, Dragon Clan race, and to this day, there are no more Daluo Golden Immortal.
The highest level of cultivation one can achieve is only the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
Therefore, upon hearing the promise from the Dong Wang Gong, all the Dragon Clan were extremely excited.
As long as one resolves Karma Karmic Debt, one can rapidly improve their cultivation level and strength with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan.
I don't expect to reign supreme over all the heavens again, but I can at least escape the situation where everyone can only dream of me.
But this is on the premise that the Dong Wang Gong successfully defeats the Witch and Demon Clans and truly takes control of the Primordial World.
But can the Dong Wang Gong really do it?
He was indeed the Head of Male Immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor, but his strength was far inferior to that of the Witch and Demon Clans.
The Dragon Clan today simply cannot afford to lose.
Even if they refuse the Dong Wang Gong, will the Witch and Demon Clans let the Dragon Clan go?
For the Dragon Clan, no matter what choice they make, it's a dead end.
"Dragon King, a great war could break out at any moment. It would be best to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible."
Seeing the Dragon King's ever-changing expression, Cihang spoke up to remind him.
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I will summon a few brothers to discuss this matter immediately!"
The Dragon King of the East Sea immediately waved his hand and struck the Dragon Gathering Bell, summoning the other Dragon Kings.
The Four Seas Dragon Palace are essentially one entity; they can teleport to each other by paying a certain price.
In this critical moment, there's no time to worry about anything else.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
As a bell rang, three beams of light flashed, and three Dragon Kings appeared in the hall.
As soon as the three Dragon Kings appeared, they looked at the Dragon King of the East Sea with worried expressions.
Although they are not in the East China Sea, they are still aware of the situation there.
The fact that the Dragon King of the East Sea has summoned me clearly indicates that a critical moment has arrived.
When he saw Cihang there, he quickly bowed and greeted her.
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities. The matter of the Dragon Clan is of utmost importance!"
This concerns the future of the Dragon Clan, so I won't disturb you any longer!
Cihang politely returned the greeting, but also took the initiative to avoid the conversation.
"Fellow Daoist is an honored guest of my Dragon Clan, so there is naturally no need for you to avoid us."
"Yes, fellow Daoist, there's no need for you to be so polite with us!"
"My Dragon Clan has no secrets that we need to hide from you, fellow Daoist!"
Seeing that Cihang was about to leave, the Dragon Kings quickly tried to persuade her to stay.
Cihang is now their only benefactor among the Daluo Golden Immortal.
If something unexpected happens and Cihang's help is needed, then naturally we cannot let him leave.
"Then I'll hear the opinions of my fellow Daoists!"
Despite the pleas of several dragon kings, Cihang stayed.
Under questioning from several dragon kings, the Dragon King of the East Sea recounted what had happened.
Even after several dragon kings consulted, they still couldn't reach a conclusion.
They didn't want to get involved in Karma anymore, but they had no choice.
If they make the wrong choice this time, the Dragon Clan will truly be doomed.
Limited by their cultivation level and knowledge, they simply couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
In the end, the group looked to Cihang, hoping Cihang could offer them help.
"Since you gentlemen are unable to make a decision, why don't you consult the senior members of the Dragon Clan?"
"With the Golden Pearl of Merit given by the Dong Wang Gong, it should be able to awaken an ancestor of the Dragon Clan!"
Cihang did not offer any opinion, as this concerned the future of the Dragon Clan.
He merely befriended the Dragon Clan, but had no intention of developing a deep connection with the Dragon Clan.
Even he was extremely wary of the Karmic Debt Karma of the Dragon Clan.
The Four Dragon Kings are only nominal rulers of the Dragon Clan; they may not actually have the power to decide the fate of the Dragon Clan race.
As soon as Cihang finished speaking, the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas all showed expressions of difficulty.
"Is there some problem?"
Cihang asked again.
"It's not that we don't want to help our ancestors, but we can't contact them!"
The Four Dragon Kings all showed expressions of shame.
"Unable to contact them, how could this be?"
Did the Dragon Clan's ancestors not leave behind any method of communication?
So how do they protect the Dragon Clan?
Cihang was genuinely surprised this time.
"The ancestors did indeed leave behind a method of communication, but it cannot be used until one reaches the Great Luo realm."
It is our incompetence that has prevented us from breaking through to the Great Luo!
However, the Ancestor can sense when the Dragon Clan faces a fatal crisis!
The Dragon King of the East Sea explained.
"I see! That's troublesome."
"Do we really have to wait until the Dragon Clan faces a life-or-death crisis?"
Cihang then discovered that although the Dragon King of the South Sea had obtained the Crimson Dragon Pearl, he had not yet fully integrated it.
His cultivation level was also somewhere between Taiyi and Great Luo.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Kings fell silent. If they waited until then, it would be too late.
Even if the quasi-saint ancestor of the Dragon Clan were to appear in the world, he might not be able to deal with the Witch and Demon Clans.
Regardless of how to deal with it, the most important thing is to contact the ancestor of the Dragon Clan.
The Four Dragon Kings exchanged a glance and finally made up their minds.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, we have a request."
We hope that fellow Daoist can assist us in entering the Dragon Burial Abyss and awakening our clan's ancestor.
The Four Dragon Kings rose simultaneously and bowed to Cihang.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Although I don't know where the Dragon Burial Abyss is, it is definitely a secret of the Dragon Clan."
Will this really let me know? Will the powerful members of the Dragon Clan have any objections?
Cihang did not agree immediately, but instead raised questions.
He didn't want to be helped, only to be met with retaliation and being silenced by the Dragon Clan.
"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, we swear by the destiny of the Dragon Clan."
"Fellow Daoist will always be an honored guest of my Dragon Clan. My Dragon Clan will never plot against you for this matter."
The Dragon Kings, aware of Cihang's concerns, immediately swore an oath by pledging the fate of the Dragon Clan.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll help you this time."
Tell me, what do you need me to do?
Sensing that the power of the oath had been fulfilled, Cihang granted their request.
"Fellow Daoist, please follow us!"
The Dragon King of the East Sea quickly got up and led Cihang deeper into the Dragon Palace.
Finally, the group arrived at a grand hall.
In the empty hall, there was only an altar, on which were carved intricate and mysterious dragon patterns.
The intense dragon's might made Cihang feel a sense of oppression.
"This is the Ancient Altar of my Dragon Clan."
"Once activated with the Four Seas Dragon Seal, one can reach the Dragon Burial Abyss!"
As they spoke, the Four Dragon Kings simultaneously summoned a jade seal, each radiating one of the four different powers: earth, water, fire, and wind.
As soon as the dragon seal appeared, the dragon patterns on the altar shone with divine light.
Those four dragon seals are Top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure, and they have a deep connection with the Dragon Palace.
It was clear that the dragon kings were not powerful enough to fully activate the Ancient Altar.
"The Dragon Burial Abyss? So the others who collected the corpses in Dragon Valley were also after the Dragon Burial Abyss?"
Cihang looked at the group in surprise. If the others could get their corpses in, why couldn't they?
"We sent it into the Dragon Burial Abyss through a sacrificial offering at the altar."
"The Dragon Burial Abyss is located deep within the Sea Eye; without the power of Daluo Golden Immortal, the altar cannot be fully activated!"
Fearing that Cihang might misunderstand, the Dragon King of the East Sea quickly explained.
"Deep within the Sea Eye? The Dragon Burial Abyss is actually located within the Sea Eye?"
Cihang exclaimed in surprise.
No wonder it requires Daluo Golden Immortal to activate it; that Sea Eye is a place even Quasi-Saints cannot set foot in.
Even with the aid of formations, it's not so easy to enter.
