Moonlight Spirit Mansion, Zhou Yuan's Deliberation

"No problem."

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured."

While eating the Ginseng Fruit, Ancestor Hong Yun heard Zhen Yuanzi's request and agreed without hesitation.

Although he was naturally carefree and loved a leisurely life.

But he's not ungrateful.

They have supported each other for countless years, thanks to their old friend Zhen Yuanzi.

He was well aware that the other party was extremely cautious and prudent.

However, the Ancestor Hong Yun was not particularly concerned about the safety of his own family.

"This Primordial Violet Qi was personally bestowed by the Dao Ancestor."

"It contains a profound cause and effect."

"Even if a sacred person were to covet it, they would probably have to think it over carefully."

The red-robed Daoist patted the [Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd] hanging from his waist and laughed proudly:

"We'll see."

"This humble Daoist has been studying the Primordial Violet Qi within my primordial spirit day and night."

"Although the opportunity to become a saint has not yet been found."

"But we are not far from becoming Primordial Origin Golden Immortal!"

"Plus this gourd of red sand of mine."

"Even if Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate were to make a move, I could still hold my own."

After saying that, he smiled at Zhen Yuanzi:

"In this way, I can wait for you Dao Brother, to come and save me!"

"You! You!"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and chuckled.

But he also felt much more relaxed.

As Hong Yun said, things may not be as serious as he thought.

"Now that you, my old friend, have touched the threshold of Hunyuan, you must cultivate even more diligently in order to achieve a smooth path to the Great Dao."

I glanced at the ripples spreading across the sky.

It seems one can sense a domineering and unparalleled will within it.

Zhen Yuanzi hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I have some connection with that Earth Immortal Ancestor Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate."

"And they both belong to the Earth Immortal Lineage."

"Why don't we find an opportunity to take you to Wuyi Mountain for a visit? That way, we can leave some goodwill behind."

"If something really happens in the future."

"This person might be able to lend a hand or two."

Daoist Hongyun smiled nonchalantly:

"Dao Brother."

"Although I enjoy helping others, it's just my nature."

"But I also know that everyone in this world is driven by profit, and everyone is driven by self-interest."

"That person is of high status and possesses great supernatural powers, not inferior to even the Three Pure Daoists in the slightest."

"How can you expect him to intervene in such a cause and effect with just empty words?"

"I don't want to owe such people a favor."

Having said that, Daoist Hongyun casually flicked his sleeves and laughed heartily:

"However, Dao Brother Taiyuan's talent is exceptional."

"Putting everything else aside, I am quite eager to have a conversation with him."

Zhen Yuanzi understood that what he said made sense.

He shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

In the Northern Darkness Continent, apart from the area of the North Nether Palace, it is Grotto-heaven blessed land.

Other regions, though they may also have many sacred mountains and immortal lands, are far inferior to the North Nether Palace.

However, Zhou Yuan did not intend to establish a Daoist temple here.

The purpose was to establish a separate residence for them to stay in.

He used his supernatural powers to observe the surrounding energy.

They easily found several places with abundant Innate Spiritual Energy and brimming with spiritual vitality.

These places are filled with spiritual energy and are excellent places for cultivation.

Naturally, these places were occupied by Great Demons and Demon Kings as training grounds.

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan had a thought.

A smile appeared on his face.

'There are still old friends here.'

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a beam of divine light and flew towards the far north.

Northern Darkness Continent.

Wangyue Lake.

This place is adjacent to the coast of Beihai, with a vast expanse of water.

Because a primordial spring flows there, the Innate Spiritual Energy is inexhaustible.

Beside the spiritual spring, dozens of acres of Moon-Gazing Spirit Grass grow.

Although this spiritual herb belongs to the acquired realm, it can draw down the essence of the Taiyin Moon Radiance.

When the moon is full, the moonlight above the sky is abundant, like the Milky Way hanging upside down.

Countless Demon Clan used this to absorb the moon's essence and cultivate their Dao Bodies.

Therefore, Wangyue Lake is truly a paradise for aquatic Demon Clan.

"The Demon Master has been defeated."

"That Celestial Venerable wishes to establish a separate palace in the Northern Darkness."

"From this point on, the Northern Darkness Continent will be embroiled in many troubles!"

At the bottom of Wangyue Lake, within the Dragon Palace.

Several old dragons paced back and forth, looking worried.

Although the Black Flood Dragon Clan is not a direct descendant of the Demon Master Palace, they are still a backbone force of the North Nether Demon Clan.

Now that the powerful figures who sheltered them from the wind and rain have fallen, how can those of us who depend on them for survival not tremble with fear?

The attitude of the Demon Court, in particular, made them wary of the dragon who had come to establish a separate residence.

He instructed the young men of the clan to keep a close watch on the gates.

"Keep your Aquatic Race under your command in check and prevent them from causing trouble."

The old dragon, clad in black robes, had a sharp gaze. He slowly surveyed the elders, his words carrying a bloodthirsty aura:

"What if this really causes big trouble?"

"Or perhaps it caused that person to lower their gaze."

"Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The demons were terrified upon hearing this.

This old dragon was arguably the most ruthless and heartless member of its clan.

But it was precisely because of his ruthless and insidious nature that he was able to lead the Northern Darkness Black Flood Dragon Clan to establish a foothold in this cruel Primordial World and occupy the precious land of Wangyue Lake.

"I will heed the teachings of our ancestors."

"We will go down and certainly discipline the men of the clan, upholding the clan's laws and regulations!"

The Black Flood Dragon Ancestor said quietly:

"You all should remember this clearly."

"The one who has come to establish a prefecture in the Northern Darkness is no ordinary powerful figure crossing the river."

"That's the kind of being that can force Demon Master to submit and make the demon emperor show favor."

"What if we anger the patriarch and he takes action?"

"My million-year-old legacy at Wangyue Lake may be destroyed in an instant."

The old dragon spoke in a low, resolute tone, carrying a chilling air of determination.

"Building upon the accumulated merits of ten generations."

"Only then could the Moon Gazing Dragon Clan exist today."

"Anyone who dares to jeopardize the fate of my Black Flood Dragon Clan."

"Even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth, to the Lunar and Solar, I will tear him apart, skin him alive, and remove his bones, refining his primordial spirit and soul into a bone lamp, torturing him day and night, never to be free!"

The elders of the Black Flood Dragon Clan of Wangyue Lake couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

Seeing that the elders had all fallen silent, the old dragon nodded silently in his heart.

Only by always maintaining a sense of awe towards the strong can one live each day with utmost caution and trepidation.

"Alright!"

"You all go and manage the disciples of each branch according to today's plan!"

He waved his hand, intending to send the dragons away.

Who knew, at that very moment...

A handsome young man, dressed in a brocade robe and with a jade belt around his waist, ran in looking terrified.

"Ancestor, disaster is imminent..."

"Wrong..."

The young man had barely opened his mouth when his expression became even more terrified, and he quickly slapped himself twice across the face.

His smile is uglier than his crying:

"Ancestor, this is incredible news!"

"This is fantastic news?!"

The Black Flood Dragon Ancestor was startled.

This little dragon is the pride of their Moon Gazing Lake Black Flood Dragon clan, and is usually the most unruly.

How did things turn out like this today?

He hurriedly asked:

"What happened?!"

The young man in the brocade robe whispered:

"Ancestor, which immortal has personally arrived at Wangyue Lake!"

Which one?

An elder of the Black Flood Dragon Clan also asked a question with doubt.

Meanwhile, the Black Flood Dragon Ancestor was already stunned.

As expected.

The next moment, the young man in the brocade robe trembled as he said:

"It is indeed the Mystic Gate Ancestor, the Taiyuan Heavenly Venerate, who has personally come to my Wangyue Lake!"

Wow!

In an instant, the entire Dragon Palace fell silent.

You could hear a pin drop!

"The little dragon, along with all the Aquatic Race of Wangyue Lake, pays homage to the Heavenly Venerable."

May the Celestial Venerable's immortal path prosper forever, and may he soon attain the boundless realm!

The Black Flood Dragon Ancestor respectfully led all the creatures of Wangyue Lake to kneel down.

The once majestic and awe-inspiring clan patriarch, a powerful figure at the half-step Dao Lord level, whose authority over thousands of miles of mountains and rivers was now awe-inspiring.

At this moment, they could only lower their heads and not dare to lift them even slightly.

"Oh!"

"It's an old friend!"

"Hei Zhuo, do you still recognize me?"

Countless rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds.

Zhou Yuan's face was shrouded in chaotic immortal energy, and his body was surrounded by Dao principles, making him appear hazy and indistinct.

It slowly opened its mouth, its divine voice booming, possessing an inherent power.

Upon hearing this, the Black Flood Dragon Ancestor and the Hei Zhuo Demon King trembled and kowtowed excitedly:

"I never expected that the Celestial Venerable would still remember this little demon."

"Since our parting, the Celestial Venerable's demeanor has surpassed even that of the past."

"For the Celestial Venerable to grace Wangyue Lake with his presence is truly an extraordinary honor!"

Zhou Yuan shook his head slightly and chuckled softly:

"I fought with that Kunpeng and was fortunate enough to win by a move or two."

"Therefore, I received a promise to establish a separate residence in the Northern Darkness Continent."

Hearing Zhou Yuan say this from above, Hei Zhuo's heart sank.

As expected.

"I believe this Moon Gazing Lake is truly a blessed place, an excellent site for cultivation."

"I wish to establish a separate residence here."

"To serve as a place to stay."

"Do you welcome this neighbor of yours?"

A smile immediately appeared on his Hei Zhuo face, as if he were shocked by this sudden surprise:

"Really?"

"The Celestial Venerable actually chose Wangyue Lake as the site for his villa?"

"This is truly an immense blessing for us!"

"After this little demon goes down here, he will lead his people to find another place to cultivate."

Behind him, a group of Aquatic Race knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to breathe.

A smile played on his Hei Zhuo face, but his heart bled.

'Is a million-year-old legacy about to be destroyed in my hands today?!'

He was bewildered, he was terrified.

But they dared not harbor resentment or anger.

But the next moment, Zhou Yuan's words pulled him from hell to heaven.

"I met you when I was in Taiyi."

"It can be considered a positive connection."

"I hereby establish my own residence."

"We also need a group of people to help manage the interior and exterior of the villa."

"I wonder if you would be willing?!"

What?

The Hei Zhuo Ancestor was both surprised and delighted.

We can stay at Wangyue Lake.

And they've even managed to latch onto a powerful ally even stronger than the Northern Darkness Demon Master Palace?

It should be known that the North Nether Demon Clan is countless.

Although the Black Flood Dragon Clan of Wangyue Lake had some influence within the Demon Master Palace, they were not a direct descendant of the Demon Master Palace.

Now, if one could switch allegiance to the Wuyi Mountain Dao Lineage...

The next moment, Hei Zhuo pushed aside Jin Shan and knelt on the ground like a toppled jade pillar.

He said in a loud voice:

"This humble demon greets Your Excellency."

"This humble demon is willing to lead Aquatic Race of Wangyue Lake to serve you, my lord, even unto death!"

"Good!"

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly and said no more.

So he immediately used his supernatural powers.

On Wangyue Lake, a mansion suspended high in the void rises right in the center of the Spiritual Spring Water Eye.

Above the mansion were four Innate Seal Script.

It is precisely the "Moonlight Spirit Mansion".

Once inside the spirit palace, they finalized all the details with Hei Zhuo.

Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said:

"You may leave now."

"From now on, my second disciple will be in charge of managing this separate residence."

"You should perform your duties well in the future; you will surely have a great opportunity."

The Hei Zhuo Old Demon naturally expressed his gratitude once again.

They then slowly withdrew from the Moonlight Spirit Mansion.

After leaving the spirit palace.

The old demon gazed deeply at the Hua Mansion suspended high in the void.

Then he plunged into Wangyue Lake.

Everything is predestined; nothing is up to us.

What kind of person is this lord? Every move he makes has profound meaning.

He established a separate residence here temporarily.

Although the Hei Zhuo Old Demon was unaware of the implications contained therein.

'But it's definitely related to the Demon Master Palace.'

'But the Demon Clan of Wangyue Lake have no other choice.'

'I just hope that the lord can continue to win!'

The old dragon thought about it for a moment, then suppressed all these thoughts in his heart.

The most urgent task is to do a good job of the things that the master has assigned us.

Choose Aquatic Race with dragon blood.

'What does this mean?!'

On this side.

News of Taiyuanzi establishing a separate residence in Wangyue Lake in Northern Darkness Prefecture.

Naturally, this was discovered by various forces.

But in Wangyue Lake, the Qiankun has long been turned upside down, and the Heavenly Secrets have been obscured.

Even Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate cannot predict it.

Naturally, no one knew what Zhou Yuan was plotting.

Moonlight Spirit Mansion.

Liu Xuan looked in surprise at the portal that had appeared in the Grand Void.

He has been summoned by Zhou Yuan to oversee affairs at the separate residence.

"Master, what is this?"

"It is subtly connected to the destiny of the dragon race."

Zhou Yuan clapped his hands and laughed:

"This thing is called [Dragon Gate]."

"It is a supreme treasure of the Four Seas Dragon Clan."

"It can cleanse and refine the bloodline of Aquatic Race."

"Purify the dragon blood within them."

"Even if one cannot attain the highest level of true dragon bloodline, it can still allow Aquatic Race dragon blood to evolve into dragons."

A look of shock flashed in Liu Xuan's eyes.

In this way.

Could this treasure be used to split the dragon clan's fortune?

That's what he thought.

That's what they say too.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"That was my plan back then too."

But times have changed.

"The Four Seas Dragon Clan have now lost their will to live."

"To consider them as my greatest enemies in ascending to the Black Emperor's Position is a miscalculation."

From the moment the Four Seas Dragon Clan pledged allegiance to the Purple Mansion Continent.

The maritime trade along the four seas had already begun to deviate and become unstable.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan is no longer the sole ruler of the Four Water Essence.

On the way to the summit of the Water Element Black Emperor.

On the contrary, the threats posed to him by the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Purple Mansion Continent were greater.

"Now, however, I wish to use this Dragon Gate to unite with the Four Seas Dragon Clan."

"May the dragon race's fortunes flourish once more!"

"To help the Dragon Clan regain control of the four seas."

"Even the Water Essence on the Primordial Continent can be handed over to the dragon race for control."

Zhou Yuan said quietly:

"But this newly born dragon race cannot be called the Four Seas Dragon Clan."

In the land of the North Sea, the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, the Purple Mansion Continent, and even the Demon Master Palace are locked in a fierce battle.

Zhou Yuan, however, intended to take advantage of this chaotic situation.

In one fell swoop, he secured the power of the Primordial World Water Essence.

Ascend to the position of the Water Element Black Emperor!
