This was highly possible!
Today, the Three Virtuous Ladies of Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming had suffered a huge loss at the hands of this Sha Dragon.
They had been chased into a miserable, frantic flight.
In the future, the four of them would become disciples of Sect Master Tongtian. Their cultivation would advance, and as disciples of a Saint, how could they possibly fail to avenge today's humiliation?
Most likely, this Sha Dragon would eventually be slain by the Three Virtuous Ladies of Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming. Its flood dragon corpses and the Innate Yin Yang Qi within them would be refined into the renowned Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.
Since he had happened upon the Three Virtuous Ladies of Sanxiao and the Martial God of Wealth, Cangyuan naturally would not miss this opportunity to build a relationship with them.
Although that Sha Dragon was vicious, Cangyuan had a treasure that countered it!
The World Purifying White Lotus was a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, Invulnerable to All Dharmas and unmatched in defense. It could purify all filth in the world, and baleful qi naturally fell within the category of filth. It was inherently restrained by the World Purifying White Lotus.
Although Cangyuan had not refined or fully controlled the World Purifying White Lotus, with Xiao Bai's assistance, he could still bring out a portion of its power!
Suppressing a Sha Dragon overflowing with baleful qi would be no trouble at all!
Having made up his mind, Cangyuan said inwardly to the system, "System, I choose option two."
After making his choice, Cangyuan took the World Purifying White Lotus out of the Cangyuan Realm.
"Xiao Bai, help me suppress that Sha Dragon later."
"Mm-hmm."
The World Purifying White Lotus agreed repeatedly, even seeming eager to try.
As a purification-type Spiritual Treasure, the World Purifying White Lotus was innately repulsed by filthy things.
It had an urge: Purify it! Purify everything!
Cangyuan's expression turned solemn. Standing atop the World Purifying White Lotus, he transformed into a streak of white light and gave chase!
Its speed was far beyond Cangyuan's own flying speed!
It had likely reached the speed of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
In another stretch of sea.
The Three Xiao and Zhao Gongming were still being closely pursued by the Sha Dragon.
Moreover, the distance between them was steadily shrinking.
At this point in time, the Three Xiao and Zhao Gongming were all at the Golden Immortal level.
Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming were Late Golden Immortals.
Qiongxiao was a Mid Golden Immortal.
Bixiao had the lowest cultivation, only an early Golden Immortal.
With such strength, how could they possibly outrun a Sha Dragon at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level?
Being caught was only a matter of time.
Whenever the Sha Dragon soared and battled across the sea, its body would split into two identical flood dragons.
One flood dragon was entirely white, its Dao Body wreathed in Innate Yang Qi.
The other was black as jade, its Dao Body blooming with the ultimate Innate Yin Qi.
Then, the black and white flood dragons collided and merged into an even more imposing, terrifying creature possessing both Innate Yin and Yang Qi!
"This won't do. If we keep fleeing blindly like this, that Sha Dragon will catch us sooner or later."
Zhao Gongming's face darkened as he looked at the increasingly close Sha Dragon behind them. The sense of urgency weighed heavily on his mind. "Three Younger Sisters, I'll draw the Sha Dragon away. Take this chance to flee far away."
Bixiao immediately refused. "No! If that Sha Dragon catches up to you, Eldest Brother, you'll be in danger. If we leave, we leave together."
Qiongxiao also nodded. "That's right. The four of us are bound together as siblings. How can we abandon one another?"
Zhao Gongming said, "Ah, at a time like this, whoever can escape should escape. Better for me alone to die than for all four of us siblings to die here."
Bixiao and Qiongxiao wanted to say more, but Yunxiao interrupted them. "Listen to Eldest Brother. Once we get away, we'll immediately find reinforcements and come back to save him. This place is already near Jin'ao Island. There must be countless experts there."
Just then!
A carefree young man's voice rang through the area!
"Wretched beast! How dare you harm others right before my eyes!"
"Four Fellow Daoists, fear not! I shall help you subdue this wretched beast!"
"Ha! Behold my treasure!"
As his voice fell, a white lotus wreathed in a pure, cleansing aura bloomed from the heavens!
Holy, flawless white light illuminated the world!
The World Purifying White Lotus was enormous. Before it, the Sha Dragon wreathed in baleful qi looked no bigger than an earthworm!
The Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure displayed its divine might!
It immediately descended to suppress the Sha Dragon below!
Space Lockdown!
White Lotus Purifies the World!
Its divine might surged magnificently!
The Sha Dragon was utterly horrified. When it sensed the purifying Dao aura emanating from the World Purifying White Lotus, it became so alarmed that it could neither sit nor stand still.
It thrashed and rolled about like a loach.
Restraint!
The Sha Dragon felt absolute restraint from this white lotus!
The Sha Dragon's intelligence was low. Unlike an Innate Being, it was more like the Fierce Beasts of the Fierce Beast era—mindless, knowing only slaughter and destruction.
Thus, when faced with the World Purifying White Lotus's suppression, though it was afraid, it still bared its fangs at Cangyuan.
Cangyuan shouted sternly, "I cannot spare you!"
Suppress!
The World Purifying White Lotus descended.
The Sha Dragon could not escape the World Purifying White Lotus's seal at all.
Under the World Purifying White Lotus's suppression, even the Sha Dragon's Primordial Spirit was ground away.
Only two flood dragon corpses, one black and one white, remained in place.
These two flood dragon corpses respectively represented Innate Yin Qi and Innate Yang Qi, and both Dao Bodies were filled with baleful qi so vast that it shook the soul.
This was the Prehistoric World.
Spiritual Treasures were the core component of one's combat strength.
Especially during the Canonization of Gods era, a good Spiritual Treasure could bridge the gap of several major realms.
" Ding! Host has completed the Choice Mission. Reward: Law of Clouds Fragment x1 (automatically comprehended; current comprehension of the Law of Clouds: ten percent)."
After dealing with the Sha Dragon, Cangyuan stored the World Purifying White Lotus and the Yin Yang flood dragon corpses in the Cangyuan Realm.
He had also received the system's reward.
How satisfying.
Before the Three Xiao and Zhao Gongming could even react, the Sha Dragon that had just chased them into a miserable flight had been slain by a suddenly appearing expert, and even its corpse had become that expert's spoils.
Once they recovered, the Three Xiao and Zhao Gongming immediately flew over. Arriving before Cangyuan, they solemnly bowed and said with immense gratitude, "Thank you, fellow cultivator, for saving us. We four siblings will remember today's life-saving grace in our hearts. We will surely repay you in the future."
Cangyuan returned the bow and smiled. "When one sees injustice, one must speak up; when it is time to act, one must act. This is the fine traditional virtue of us Great Han people."
"May I ask the names of the three fellow daoists?"
The woman dressed in a plain white Dao robe had a gentle, dignified, elegant bearing. She said, "I am Yunxiao. This is my elder brother, Zhao Gongming, and these two are my younger sisters, Bixiao and Qiongxiao."
Zhao Gongming, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, who had been introduced, cupped their hands. "Greetings, fellow cultivator."
Zhao Gongming was broad and sturdy, dressed in a black Dao robe. At a glance, he looked like someone not to be trifled with.
Qiongxiao wore a vivid red Dao robe, her hair tied behind her head. She appeared quiet and reserved. Compared with Yunxiao's dignified and gentle personality, she was sharper, like a treasured sword with its edge fully exposed.
Bixiao wore a jade-green Dao robe. She was short and petite, with a lively, mischievous air.
Zhao Gongming saluted him and said, "Greetings, fellow cultivator. My three younger sisters and I are from Mount Emei Luofu Cave."
It was said that before the Three Xiao and Zhao Gongming underwent Form Transformation, when they had still been three colored clouds and a clear breeze, they had already been together.
The clear breeze stirred the colored clouds.
There was no need to speak of their bond.
"Fellow cultivator, are you also going to East Sea Jin'ao Island?"
At that moment, the lively Bixiao opened her bright round eyes and looked curiously at Cangyuan.
Cangyuan nodded and smiled. "Indeed. Could it be that you four Fellow Daoists are also going to Jin'ao Island to take the Shangqing Saint as your master?"
Zhao Gongming said, "Indeed."
Bixiao said, "Yes, yes."
Qiongxiao said, "..."
Yunxiao smiled gently and took the initiative to invite him. "Since we are all going to Jin'ao Island, why not travel together?"
Cangyuan nodded, having no objection. "Good."
Thus, the five of them set out together for Jin'ao Island.
Without his mount, Xiao Bai, Cangyuan's speed returned to its snail-like pace.
He was much slower than Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming.
He was on par with Qiongxiao.
Fortunately, he was somewhat faster than Bixiao.
Several hundred more years passed in a flash as they traveled.
At last, the group of five caught sight of the outline of Jin'ao Island.
