All Tribes' Remnant Beasts Brought Under Control

"That's right, it's this humble Daoist!" Beichen said cheerfully, "Those two Sun Star deities are my disciples!"

As soon as he said this, Mo Yuan's face showed a look of apprehension.

The events on the Moon Star six hundred years ago replayed vividly in his mind, filling him with lingering fear.

That was the second time he had been closest to death, the second time he had felt death approaching.

The first time was during the Dragon-Phoenix Initial Tribulation. Severely wounded by the Phoenix Clan and on the verge of death, he had accidentally fallen before the Demon Ancestor Luohu.

Fortunately, Demon Ancestor Luohu, seeing him enveloped in dark energy and radiating demonic power, mistook him for one of his own and bestowed upon him a remnant petal of a black lotus, thus saving his life.

However, it also made him experience the pain and terror of death's approach.

The second time was on the Moon Star. The Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler shattered his dragon energy, leaving him severely injured. He was then captured by Eastern Emperor Taiyi and struck by the Eastern Emperor Bell, pushing him to the brink of life and death.

If not for a resounding Daoist chant from the Sun Star that intervened, he would have died at the hands of the brothers Dijun and Taiyi.

Mo Yuan stared at Beichen, his expression unreadable, lost in thought.

The sudden attack from the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler just now seemed to reveal to him that Beichen's control over the Heaven Measuring Ruler was far more familiar and profound than Dijun's, instilling a sense of fear in him.

Beichen continued, "Mo Yuan, by rights, I am your benefactor! Six hundred years ago, if I hadn't spoken up to stop them in time, you would have already died under my disciple Taiyi's Eastern Emperor Bell. How could you be displaying your dragon might now?"

"Nonsense, you Daoist, you're talking utter nonsense!"

Mo Yuan's eyes were icy, filled with a hint of hatred as he fixed them on Beichen, probing him intently.

At this moment, he still couldn't discern Beichen's true nature or origins.

It was a pity that his prying was instantly scattered by the fragments of the Great Dao and laws of the Three Immortal Islands, rendering it useless.

Furthermore, even if he could have probed, with Beichen's strength and origins, he wouldn't have been able to glean any information.

"A rogue cultivator, if you hadn't given Dijun the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, how could those two crows and the Moon Star Goddess have been a match for me, Mo Yuan, the Black Dragon? And you have the nerve to call yourself my benefactor?"

Mo Yuan knew that Beichen was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

"Do you want to argue with me?" Beichen asked with a fake smile, "I hope you can think about it again, think it through carefully!"

Without further explanation, Beichen allowed Mo Yuan to ponder the matter himself.

Hearing the hidden meaning in Beichen's words, Mo Yuan was indeed guided and began to think carefully.

This cultivator had his disciples contend with the two Moon Star Goddesses as Dao Companions, and my interference would have ruined their good deed! Mo Yuan thought to himself. As the master of those two crows, he wouldn't have sent his disciples to fight without providing them with treasures!

Dijun and Taiyi's possession of the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler meant they held the power of life and death over me. If viewed this way, this cultivator's intervention to stop the two crows from killing me was indeed a life-saving grace!

Although the Black Dragon Mo Yuan was furious, he was not an ungrateful person. Even if this was all a scheme by Beichen, Mo Yuan was in the wrong first!

Beichen could have easily let Taiyi kill him and turned a blind eye, but he chose to save him.

In the grand scheme of things, this seemed to be a fated encounter!

"Heh, I understand!" Mo Yuan sneered. "Rogue cultivator, you were afraid your disciples would incur the karma of killing!"

"As fellow Grand Unity Golden Immortals, your disciple was not qualified to kill me. If he had killed me, he would have incurred great killing karma, which would have been extremely detrimental to his cultivation. He would not have received the protection of the Heavenly Dao in the future, and his strength would have been very limited."

"And you, you had them let me go, and then you stepped forward to claim you were a good person, making me, Mo Yuan, grateful to you, right?"

"Hahahaha, that's right, Black Dragon Mo Yuan, you are indeed too clever, hitting the nail on the head!"

Beichen burst into laughter, but his laughter was filled with mockery, unsettling Mo Yuan.

"Why are you laughing like this? Why?"

Mo Yuan frowned in annoyance.

"Why? Heh, Mo Yuan, you seem to have forgotten something. You are truly a muddled dragon!"

Beichen lightly swayed the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler in his hand, his face still wearing that mocking smile.

Mo Yuan suddenly understood, his divine eyes widening in shock. After a long pause, he whispered, "The Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler does not incur any karma from killing!"

"So? Am I your benefactor?"

"This..." Mo Yuan cupped his fists slightly. "Rogue cultivator, thank you for saving my life! By the way, may I ask for your name?"

"This humble Daoist is Beichen!" Beichen glanced at Mo Yuan. "Black Dragon, you and I have a connection. Since I am your savior, you need not address me by name, but rather as 'Master'!"

"What? You want me, Mo Yuan, to become your subordinate? Impossible, absolutely impossible! I, Mo Yuan of the Dragon Clan, a mighty figure of the Dragon Clan, how can I be the subordinate of a rogue cultivator?"

Mo Yuan's face was filled with arrogance, unwilling to submit.

"Rogue cultivator, you saved Mo Yuan's life. Mo Yuan will find a way to repay this kindness in the future, but I cannot be your subordinate!"

"Sigh!" Beichen sighed. "You black dragon, you do not understand the Heavenly Mandate! I am making you my subordinate to save you!"

"Save me?"

"Yes! Dijun and Taiyi are already the husbands of Xihe and Changxi. They will also become the rulers of all demons and the emperors of the Demon Court in the future, their strength far surpassing yours. If you encounter them in the Great Desolation in the future, you should know your fate!"

"Conversely, if you join my ranks and receive my guidance, your cultivation will not be inferior to theirs. Moreover, with me, your master, protecting you, those two disciples will only be able to tolerate you and dare not act rashly! I have said all that needs to be said, there is no need for further words!"

"Fellow Daoist Black Dragon, who is this cultivator? He speaks so arrogantly! His words even contain what seem like heavenly secrets, I wonder if they are true!"

The Fire Qilin Yan Lie pondered, feeling a sense of familiarity with Beichen.

Suddenly, Yan Lie seemed to recall something. "More than a thousand years ago, on the Sun Star, the Purple Firmament World-Ending Thunder Tribulation of the Nine Nines was triggered. Could it be... Yes! He is the master of the Golden Crow! He was on the Sun Star at that time! The commotion that day was immense, rarely seen in the Great Desolation!"

Mo Yuan also realized, "He's that innate divine-demonic origin, and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao exists within him?"

Mo Yuan's expression was unsettled, his heart filled with inner turmoil as he contemplated whether to submit to Beichen.

"Three thousand Great Dao, establish laws and form a net, capture!"

Just then, Beichen smiled faintly. Three thousand Imperfect Great Dao floated around him, forming an immensely vast golden net that instantly enveloped Mo Yuan. With a sudden pull, his divine sense was thrown into disarray, shattering through the fragments of the Great Dao and dragging him into the Three Immortal Islands.

Almost simultaneously, the great net also caught Yan Lie, pulling him into the Three Immortal Islands.

Buzz!

As soon as they entered the island, a sense of innate confinement descended from nowhere, suppressing the two. They were utterly unable to resist, falling to their knees, their faces filled with unwillingness.

They looked up slightly, seeing Beichen's calm demeanor, and understood he was the master of this world.

"You three descendant races of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin have a great karmic connection with this humble Daoist, and it is destined that you shall enter my command!"

"This action is also to prevent further harm to your three races!" Beichen smiled faintly.

"Hmph! Mo Yuan can join your ranks, but Ling Cair, I must kill!"

Mo Yuan struggled to his feet and strode towards Ling Cair.

At this moment, Ling Cair seemed to sense the danger, let out a soft cry, and slowly opened her spiritual eyes
