Young Ancestral Dragon... Is My Dragon Race Doomed? Impossible! Absolutely Impossible!

A moment later.

Above the void, the Ancestral Dragon followed a sudden impulse from the unseen and arrived where Tang Xuan was.

Lowering his head, he looked down and saw the river below. The Ancestral Dragon's brows lifted.

This was the place. It gave him a sense of karmic connection, and the perception in the unseen was also telling him that this place held an opportunity fated for him?

"Hmm? A river with a spirit?"

"Daluo?"

"No, the aura is a little off. It looks like Daluo, but its status is actually very high. The aura of the Great Dao is extremely dense. Peak Golden Immortal of the Origin? The aura keeps shifting... What cultivation realm is it, exactly!?"

"The Heavenly Secrets do not show, fate does not appear, karma is in chaos..."

He used his Dao Fruit to peer into it. With that one look, the Ancestral Dragon's expression gradually underwent a subtle change, and his gaze became much more solemn.

With his cultivation at the peak of Golden Immortal of the Origin, he actually could not see through this river's roots and background?

Could it be that, like him, it was also a Chaos Demon God of old who had escaped into the Primordial Era to reincarnate and cultivate anew?

After some brief thought, the Ancestral Dragon flew toward the river below.

Standing beside the river, the Ancestral Dragon gave a slight salute and said in a deep voice, "Ancestral Dragon, clan leader of the dragon race, greets fellow Daoist."

"Throw in a treasure, and you may obtain an opportunity."

An ethereal voice came from within the river.

"?"

The Ancestral Dragon.

What the hell was this?

After thinking for a moment, the Ancestral Dragon casually threw in an Innate Spirit Treasure.

The next instant, the river surged, divine light shone, and Tang Xuan's illusory figure appeared above the river, wrapped in immortal radiance and Dao Principles. Under the cover of the evolution of the Dao of Wishes, he looked utterly mysterious and unfathomable.

With a turn of both hands, the illusory form of the small Innate Spirit Treasure cauldron the Ancestral Dragon had thrown into the river appeared in Tang Xuan's left hand, while the illusory form of a golden small cauldron giving off the aura of an Innate Supreme Treasure appeared in his right hand.

"Young Ancestral Dragon, may I ask, was the treasure you dropped into the river the spirit treasure on the left, or the supreme treasure on the right?"

Looking at the Ancestral Dragon, Tang Xuan said with a beaming smile.

As for how to fool... scratch that, how to develop clients, Tang Xuan had thought of countless plans. From pretending to be a big shot like in the Primordial Era genre novels of his previous life, to acting profound and unfathomable, or even stating outright that he was a visitor from beyond the domain and so on, Tang Xuan had considered them all.

But in the end, Tang Xuan had passed on every one of those plans.

Pretending to be some big shot or acting profound and unfathomable was unrealistic. Did he really think the big shots of the Primordial Era were all idiots? That he could just fool them with a few words?

What level was he, and what level were they? If they asked some profound question, he would be exposed on the spot.

Rather than posturing, it was better to be a little abstract. Mm, or rather, it was better to make others unable to guess or understand him. He would rely entirely on their own imagination. In any case, he would reveal nothing himself, and that was undoubtedly the most suitable approach.

On top of that, the Wish Origin could evolve anything he needed, so this plan was already the best fit for Tang Xuan.

"???"

The Ancestral Dragon was a little stunned.

He had lived for so long, yet he truly had never seen a way of conversing like Tang Xuan's.

The small cauldron on the left was the one he had thrown in. As for the one on the right, there was even a small cauldron at the Innate Supreme Treasure level?

What, if he chose the one on the right, would the other party really give him an Innate Supreme Treasure-level one?

The key point was that he could not even understand how such a thing could possess the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Strange! Strange in every possible way!

The Ancestral Dragon had originally thought of all kinds of ways to interact, whether threatening or probing, but Tang Xuan's flashy maneuver directly left him unable to cope. For a moment, he actually did not know how to continue.

Unable to make heads or tails of it, the cautious Ancestral Dragon subconsciously pointed at the small cauldron on the left, the one he had thrown into the river, and said in a deep voice, "This is the one this seat dropped."

Hearing what the Ancestral Dragon said, Tang Xuan smiled.

Was this not already making him enter Tang Xuan's script and be led by the nose? In that case, what came next would be much easier.

Bringing his hands together, the illusory forms of both magical treasures vanished. Tang Xuan clasped his hands behind his back and said with a beaming smile, "O young Ancestral Dragon, congratulations on completing the test. Now, you have two choices."

"First, obtain the Innate Supreme Treasure-level Qianyuan Cauldron. Second, obtain the Great Trend involving the dragon race. Which do you wish to choose?"

"???"

The Ancestral Dragon.

A test?

Was it to see whether I was greedy or not...

The Ancestral Dragon suddenly understood.

Then is this still a test now?

The Ancestral Dragon had already subconsciously entered the thought logic Tang Xuan had prepared and begun thinking within it.

He had originally planned to ask for the Qianyuan Cauldron at the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure, but just as the words reached his lips, he heard Tang Xuan add that this was not a test, but a true reward, and that he should think carefully before making his decision. He swallowed back what he had been about to say.

"Not a test? A real reward?"

Ancestral Dragon's heart stirred.

Though things like Innate Supreme Treasures were precious, as the clan leader of the Dragon Clan, one of the overlords of the Primordial Era, such a thing was clearly not absolutely indispensable to him. On the contrary, anything involving the Great Trend of the Dragon Clan was entirely different.

As it happened, for the last few hundred million years, he had constantly felt a kind of unease in his heart. Had this not landed right in his hands?

"What exactly is this person's background? Why is he so strange? And what is his purpose..."

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Ancestral Dragon did not dwell on them too much and decided to see how things developed first. At worst, he would only lose an Innate Spirit Treasure. Thus, he decisively chose the second option.

"Young Ancestral Dragon, congratulations. You have obtained the best reward."

"Are you ready? If you are, I shall tell you the future Great Trend of the Dragon Clan."

Tang Xuan said with a beaming smile.

Ancestral Dragon subconsciously straightened his body. Somehow, an inexplicable sense of expectation, like he had successfully cleared a trial, rose in his heart. Cautiously, he prepared to first seal off the Heavenly Secrets of this region.

"No need to conceal the Heavenly Secrets. Where I am, even the Heavenly Dao and all its laws cannot pry."

Seeing Ancestral Dragon's actions, Tang Xuan smiled and shook his head, then added another sentence in his heart.

Mm, only temporarily unable to pry. The remaining Wish Origin could only manage this another one or two times at most.

But that did not matter. Ancestral Dragon had already taken the bait. Immunity to all laws and the like would naturally be no problem. He had already begun looking forward to how much feedback Ancestral Dragon could provide him!

Especially what came afterward. After all, what Ancestral Dragon involved was not merely himself, but the entire Dragon Clan. How much Origin the karma involved here would generate was already beyond imagination!

"The Heavenly Dao and all its laws cannot pry? Without using divine abilities or arts, you are naturally immune to all laws?"

Ancestral Dragon's pupils shrank slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Ancestral Dragon said in a deep voice.

"Your Dragon Clan is about to be done for."

Tang Xuan said with a smile.

"???"

Ancestral Dragon.

Before Ancestral Dragon could become angry or do anything else, Tang Xuan waved his hand and displayed the scene of the final outcome of the Dragon-Han Calamity.

Having read countless Primordial Era genre novels, Tang Xuan was naturally no stranger to the ending of the Dragon-Han Calamity. In this regard, no matter which version of the Primordial Era it was, the result was the same, so Tang Xuan was not worried about things going off the rails.

As the content played, Tang Xuan slowly spoke, "You Three Tribes born at the opening of heaven were plotted against by Hongjun and Luohu. In the end, all three of your tribes suffered devastating losses."

"You, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin will suppress the wind, water, and fire of the Primordial Era, while the Three Tribes will also bear boundless Karmic Force and withdraw from the grand stage of the Primordial Era from then on."

As the images played and Tang Xuan narrated, Ancestral Dragon's expression gradually froze.

"..."

Ancestral Dragon.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could this be possible!"

Ancestral Dragon lost his composure. Under the turmoil of his emotions, the surrounding space faintly shattered, and even his eyes turned red.

"Whether it is true or false, Ancestral Dragon, you will know once you return to the Dragon Clan and investigate."

"Your Dragon Clan has long since been infiltrated by the Devil Race. There are no small number of Devil Race members disguised as dragons, using this to fan the flames and cause friction among the Three Tribes. If you investigate carefully, you should still be able to find clues."

Tang Xuan said slowly.

"Many thanks for informing me, Dao... Senior. I shall return for a while first."

He was, after all, a mighty figure of the Primordial Era. Ancestral Dragon quickly calmed down, and his expression returned to serenity. Taking a deep breath, he bowed to Tang Xuan, then turned to leave.

Thinking of something, Ancestral Dragon paused, turned back around, and asked, "May I ask Senior's name?"

"River God."

Tang Xuan said with a beaming smile.

"River God..."

Muttering the name, Ancestral Dragon stepped forward, tore open the void, and left.

"The good show... is about to begin!"

"An auspicious start, an auspicious start..."

Tang Xuan hummed softly in his heart, watching Ancestral Dragon leave as the smile on his face grew increasingly rich.
