This giant dragon was none other than Ancestor Dragon. His injuries had grown increasingly severe under the influence of karmic consequences.
Ancestor Dragon was no longer able to suppress his injuries. He did not even transform into his Innate Dao Body, instead directly revealing his true form.
He had thought that, since Yuanfeng had not been injured by Devil Ancestor Luo Hou, her situation would be better than his and First Qilin's. He had not expected her to choose to suppress South Bright Undying Volcano.
"Yuanfeng, you can sacrifice yourself for the Phoenix Clan. I can also fight for a chance at survival for the Dragon Clan."
Because of Yuanfeng's actions, Ancestor Dragon, who had been hesitating all this time, finally made his decision.
"Ying Long, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, come see me at once."
Although Ancestor Dragon had made his choice, he had to arrange matters for the Dragon Clan before leaving.
In Qilin Hall, First Qilin's injuries were no less severe than Ancestor Dragon's.
"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, I am not as good as you!"
First Qilin could not help sighing. He knew that the Phoenix Clan was in the best condition of the three clans, and Yuanfeng's situation was far better than his and Ancestor Dragon's.
He and Ancestor Dragon should have been the first to be unable to hold on and beg the Great Dao for mercy.
Unexpectedly, Yuanfeng, whose situation was the best, had made her choice first.
As the Qilin Clan's clan leader, he was inferior to Yuanfeng, the Phoenix Clan's leader!
"Gou Chen..."
After making his choice, First Qilin summoned Earth Qilin Gou Chen, preparing to arrange his final affairs.
Nuwa and Fuxi also moved to Phoenix Perch Mountain and established their own dojo there.
After finishing her dojo, Nuwa went to Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace to find him.
Nuwa saw Bai Chen snoring away on a meditation cushion, so she woke him:
"Little White, my dojo is ready. When are you moving over?"
After waking up, Bai Chen stretched, took out a spirit fruit, and began munching on it before asking in return:
"Nuwa, is your dojo better than the Zu Fei Palace that Yuanfeng had built for this Great God?"
The Zu Fei Palace had been built many epochs ago, when Bai Chen had temporarily stayed at Phoenix Perch Mountain. Yuanfeng had ordered the Phoenix Clan to build it for him.
Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace ranked among the top three of the countless palaces on Phoenix Perch Mountain.
His Zu Fei Palace was only slightly inferior to the palace where Yuanfeng lived.
Compared with the palace of Phoenix Celestial Maiden Yuan Huang, the Phoenix Clan's grand elder, it was not inferior in the slightest.
Although Bai Chen had never seen Nuwa's newly established dojo, he dared to guarantee that it was not as good as his Zu Fei Palace.
He had made do with Nuwa's dojo at Buzhou Mountain only because he had nowhere else to stay.
Now that he had returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain, he would certainly stay in the Zu Fei Palace Yuanfeng had built for him. He was not going to suffer alongside Nuwa.
Nuwa carefully examined Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace and immediately felt awkward, because Bai Chen was right.
Her newly established dojo really was not as good as Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace.
Nuwa cursed Yuanfeng inwardly for being such a nouveau riche. She had even built such a magnificent palace for a cat. It was simply outrageously extravagant!
The thought that Nuwa's life had once been worse than this lazy cat's made her feel miserable.
"Little White, since that's the case, I'll move into your Zu Fei Palace."
Nuwa knew that, with Bai Chen's love of comfort, he definitely would not move to her dojo. She might as well move into Bai Chen's Zu Fei Palace herself.
She was not trying to take advantage of Bai Chen. It was just that such a huge palace, occupied by only one cat, was truly wasteful.
As an Innate Deity, Nuwa had to manage the household frugally.
"Nuwa, it's not impossible for you to live in this Great God's Zu Fei Palace."
"But you have to accompany this Great God to Kunlun Mountain!"
Bai Chen agreed to let Nuwa stay, but he wanted her to help him with some work.
"Little White, you want to find Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West and demand the resources Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng gave her?"
Nuwa's first instinct was that Bai Chen wanted to go to the Jade Mountain Immortal Realm west of Kunlun Mountain and cause trouble for Queen Mother of the West.
There was something Nuwa had not told Bai Chen: she had some friendship with Queen Mother of the West.
"No!"
Bai Chen shook his head and then stated his true intention:
"This Great God is going to Kunlun Mountain to ambush and kill First Qilin, and settle the score from back then."
"As for Queen Mother of the West, this Great God has no time to deal with her for now!"
Bai Chen wanted to go to Kunlun Mountain to ambush First Qilin and kick him while he was down.
Bai Chen was an Innate Divine Beast of the beast lineage. In his early years, he had been living safely in seclusion at his dojo on Mount Huo.
But the Qilin Clan, wanting to unify the countless beast tribes, had suddenly attacked Mount Huo.
They had captured Great God Bai Chen and placed him in the Qilin Clan's cannon-fodder battalion.
If he had not possessed great fortune and been rescued by Yuanfeng, he would probably have died alongside the other Innate Divine Beasts in the cannon-fodder battalion.
Bai Chen had always remembered this grudge. Now that the Qilin Clan was weakened, the time for revenge had arrived.
"Little White, First Qilin is at the Half-step Dao Proving level. I'm afraid I'm not his match!"
Nuwa did not want to refuse to help Bai Chen take revenge. She was simply worried about her cultivation.
After all, First Qilin was as famous as Yuanfeng!
"Nuwa, you coward!"
Bai Chen loudly berated Nuwa. He, Great God Bai Chen, could not understand why she was so timid.
With such little courage, how could she become a Heavenly Dao Saint in the future?
Nuwa: This isn't called being timid. It's called being cautious!
"Nuwa, First Qilin has no damn Half-step Dao Proving cultivation anymore.
"Devil Ancestor Luo Hou crippled his cultivation. His current cultivation is probably even lower than yours."
"Nuwa, with the Primordial Holy Sword in your hand, you can definitely defeat the heavily injured First Qilin."
To get Nuwa to work for him, Bai Chen began encouraging her.
One had to know that, below the Half-step Dao Proving level, Nuwa, relying on her companion supreme treasure, the Primordial Holy Sword, stood at the very peak of the first tier. Her strength was entirely sufficient to beat the fallen Qilin.
Moreover, First Qilin was going to Kunlun Mountain to arrange a final refuge for his clan, and he would bring along quite a few burdens.
For example, his useless son Si Bu Xiang, as well as the Qilin Clan's second grand elder Ink Qilin, third grand elder Gold Qilin, and ninth grand elder Jade Qilin, who had all been beaten back into their original forms.
Please provide the Chinese-to-English translation you want revised.
With all these burdens, Bai Chen refused to believe that First Qilin could display much of his strength.
"Little White, if the situation turns bad, don't get caught up in the fight. We'll retreat immediately."
Nuwa agreed to accompany Bai Chen to Kunlun Mountain, but for the sake of their safety, she also stated her condition.
"Fine!"
Bai Chen agreed. He was not stupid, after all. If they really could not defeat First Qilin, they would still have to run.
In the battle in Western Primordial Era, the Qilin Clan had lost many experts.
Especially when they had been hunted by Devil Ancestor Luo Hou's Eight Great Protectors. Several Qilin Clan elders had been beaten back into their original forms and had their cultivation crippled while helping First Qilin deal with Ri Biao and the others.
Even the second grand elder Ink Qilin and third grand elder Gold Qilin had been crippled and beaten back into their original forms. One could imagine how brutal the battle had been.
First Qilin now intended to leave the Qilin Clan, so he planned to find a suitable destination for his old subordinates and seek protection for them.
After much deliberation, First Qilin chose Kunlun Mountain. As the Lord of Beasts, he knew the situation at Kunlun Mountain rather well.
East of Kunlun Mountain was the Kunlun Ruins Immortal Realm, the dojo of the Three Pure Ones.
To the west was the Western Kunlun Immortal Realm, the dojo of Queen Mother of the West.
First Qilin planned to send resources to the Three Pure Ones and Queen Mother of the West, hoping that they would protect the Qilin Clan after he left.
Just as First Qilin and his group were about to approach Kunlun Mountain, a roadblock suddenly leaped out.
No, it was a roadblock cat!
Bai Chen had no idea how long he had been waiting here for First Qilin. Fortunately, he had finally arrived.
"Great God First Qilin, Lord of Beasts, where are you headed?"
Bai Chen held his Hammer of Reason and pointed it at First Qilin as he asked.
Although he called him "Great God" and "Lord of Beasts" at every turn, he showed not the slightest respect. Instead, his words were filled with mockery.
What kind of Great God or Lord of Beasts was he? He was nothing but a fallen Qilin!
"Bai Chen, have you come to seek revenge against me? Do you have the strength for that?"
The moment First Qilin saw Bai Chen, he knew that Bai Chen had come for revenge.
Still, he was somewhat surprised that Bai Chen had appeared here and learned of his whereabouts.
As for why First Qilin remembered Bai Chen, it was not because Bai Chen's strength was particularly formidable.
It was because Bai Chen had been unable to transform and had later sought refuge with Yuanfeng.
When Bai Chen had joined Yuanfeng back then, he had branded him with the notorious titles of traitor to the beasts and shame of the beasts.
"First Qilin, your injuries must be quite serious. Otherwise, with your temperament, you would have already dared to attack this Great God."
Bai Chen did not rush to attack First Qilin. Instead, he began mocking him.
