Primordial Wilderness: Mythical Grand Unity, Saints Beg Me Not to Show Off

"The path you walk seems not of this realm, untouched by the passage of time, forming its own spacetime."

The Candle Dragon's voice carried an unprecedented gravity, then He turned to Ao Chen, an apologetic expression on His face.

"I hope you will not take offense, fellow Daoist. The Azure Dragon meant no harm."

What?

The moment these words left the Candle Dragon's mouth, the shock they delivered was a hundred, a thousand times greater than when Ao Chen had admitted to creating a technique!

All the Dragon Clan Elders, including the Azure Dragon who had just been flaunting his seniority, were struck as if by billions of thunderbolts, frozen solid on the spot!

Who was the Candle Dragon?

The oldest and most powerful existence in the Dragon Clan! One who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Ancestral Dragon! The master of the Dao of Time, whose vision, wisdom, and perception far surpassed every dragon present!

Even He said he could not see through Ao Chen's Dao at all? And gave such astonishing evaluations as "not of this realm" and "forming its own spacetime"?

Not only that, but He even apologized to Ao Chen because of it.

This... how could this be possible?

Even Ao Chen himself couldn't help but regard the Candle Dragon with newfound respect, thinking to himself.

This Dragon Mother's understanding of the Dao of Time far surpasses Zhu Jiuyin's! She can even faintly glimpse part of the essence of my Mythical Grand Unity Method!

"Dragon Mother, you..."

The Azure Dragon opened his mouth, wanting to ask, but was interrupted again by the Candle Dragon.

"Azure Dragon, apologize."

The Candle Dragon's voice carried a hint of weariness, but also an unyielding decisiveness that brooked no argument.

Hearing this, the Azure Dragon felt some reluctance, but he also knew the Candle Dragon's power.

Since the Candle Dragon could say such words, there was no way He was deceiving him. And if he couldn't see it himself, it only meant that the Ao Chen before him was indeed more terrifying than he had imagined.

But... a Heavenly Immortal making a Golden Immortal of the Origin wary? This was the greatest absurdity under heaven; he dared not even conceive of it.

"My apologies. I offer you my apology."

The Azure Dragon lowered his proud dragon head and apologized to Ao Chen.

Ao Chen waved his hand, paying the Azure Dragon no mind.

A summer insect cannot speak of ice—some things, if told to the Azure Dragon, he would never understand.

Getting angry at such an existence was a complete waste of time.

Nearby, seeing the Azure Dragon apologize and Ao Chen not angered, the Candle Dragon nodded slightly.

Then, He turned to look at the other Dragon Clan Elders.

"No need for further discussion. This method is the only hope for our Dragon Clan's revival! Begin cultivation immediately and experience its mysteries!"

He no longer dwelled on Ao Chen's mystery, placing all His hope instead on this Myriad Calamities Furnace Body!

"We obey the Dragon Mother's decree!"

With the Candle Dragon's command, none of the Dragon Clan Elders hesitated any longer!

Suppressing all their shock and doubt, they immediately began attempting to circulate the Myriad Calamities Furnace Body according to the method the Azure Dragon had demonstrated and explained earlier!

In an instant, the entire vast cavern echoed with the low roars and chants of dragons!

Faint but determined pulses of blood and qi began to emanate from their colossal dragon bodies!

They carefully guided the thick, ink-like black energy of Karmic Debt, the bone-piercing cold of death qi, and the unique Sha Qi of Dragon Abyss around them, drawing it into their bodies!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Like plunging red-hot iron into ice water!

The moment the Myriad Calamities energy entered, excruciating pain spread through every Elder's body! Karmic Debt burned their true spirits, death qi corroded their vitality, and Sha Qi assaulted their will!

Even these ancient dragons, who had lived for countless eons, couldn't help but let out pained groans, their massive frames trembling violently!

But not a single dragon gave up!

Their eyes blazed with a fire never seen before—a thirst for life, a longing for revival!

Enduring the agony, they followed the technique's circulation, using their remaining dragon essence and blood qi as fuel, struggling under the assault of the Myriad Calamities energy to ignite the faint "furnace fire," attempting to refine it!

The process was immensely difficult, immensely painful!

But as time passed, finally!

The first wisp of refined, pure energy was born within the body of a Grand Unity Elder!

Then came the second, the third...

More and more Elders succeeded in taking this difficult first step!

Though the efficiency of refinement remained low, the tangible nourishing power feeding back into themselves, the slight relief as the Karmic Debt in their true spirits was shaken, was like the strongest stimulant injected into their hearts, which had lain barren for countless eons!

"ROAR!!!"

At last, no one knew who was the first to lose control, releasing a heaven-shaking dragon roar filled with excitement, joy, and boundless hope!

Immediately after!

"Roar! Roar! Roar!..."

Like a chain reaction!

Canglong, Qinglong, Xianglong, Taixu Long, Konglong... dozens of Da Luo elders, hundreds of Tai Yi elders...

All the dragon elders who had successfully circulated the technique raised their heads and roared to the heavens!

The grief, indignation, and despair suppressed for countless epochs all transformed in this moment into boundless longing and hope for the future!

Ten thousand dragons roared in unison!

The terrifying sound waves converged, forcibly breaking through Dragon Abyss's layers of restrictions, piercing the endless dark depths of the sea, and reaching the surface of the East Sea!

Boom!!!

The entire vast and boundless Eastern Sea trembled violently under the roar of ten thousand dragons! Towering waves surged!

Countless beings cultivating, treasure-hunting, or even lording it over the Eastern Sea were shaken by the sudden, terrifying dragon roars, their hearts trembling and faces paling in shock!

The dragon race, silent for countless ages, seemed to have let out its first cry of revival in this moment!

Chapter 48: Waves Stir in the Eastern Sea, the Immortal Court Grand Ceremony Approaches

Deep within the Dragon Abyss, the terrifying sound waves from the roar of ten thousand dragons, like a tangible shockwave, pierced through the endless darkness and water pressure, sweeping across the entire vast Eastern Sea!

For a moment, monstrous waves surged on the Eastern Sea, tsunamis raged, countless islands shook violently, as if doomsday had arrived!

The beings active in various parts of the Eastern Sea—whether secluded cultivators, treasure-seeking rogue immortals, or the tyrannical members of the Immortal Court—were all shaken by the sudden dragon roars filled with boundless excitement and hope, their hearts splitting with fear and faces losing color!

"What happened?"

"The dragon race? Why would the dragons let out such a roar?"

"Could something have happened deep within the Dragon Clan?"

"Report to the Immortal Court immediately!"

Countless divine thoughts interwove above the Eastern Sea, filled with shock, speculation, and unease.

The dragon race, silent for countless ages, suddenly erupting with such earth-shattering commotion was undoubtedly an extremely unusual signal, putting many factions on alert.

Especially the newly established Eastern Sea Immortal Court, which had been planning to make an example of the dragon race, received the news first.

On Yingzhou Immortal Island, the immortals left behind felt the terrifying dragon might emanating from the depths of the Dragon Abyss, their expressions changing drastically as they hurriedly transmitted the news to the Zixiao Palace.

However, the turmoil outside did not affect the scene deep within the Dragon Abyss.

Inside the massive cavern, after the roar of ten thousand dragons, an even more fervent atmosphere of cultivation took hold.

All the dragon elders poured their entire focus into circulating the Ten Thousand Calamities Furnace Body!

Though the process remained painful and the refinement efficiency still low, the bit of negative energy refined and absorbed, the bit of original life force restored, and the slight loosening of the karmic shackles deep in their true spirits—like the sweetest nectar—sustained them as they gritted their teeth and persisted!

Hope!

As long as there was hope, even the greatest pain could be endured!

Ao Chen stood quietly to the side, watching this scene of ten thousand dragons refining their calamities, feeling quite moved.

The dragon race, indeed once the overlords of heaven and earth, possessed an extraordinary tenacity of will.

He did not interfere much, only occasionally, when an elder encountered a bottleneck or was on the verge of being devoured by the calamity energy, would he flick a finger, using his own Dao resonance to stabilize their mind and guide them through the difficulty.

Most of the time, he silently observed and recorded.

The process of these dragon elders cultivating the Ten Thousand Calamities Furnace Body was itself a large-scale, multi-sample practical verification of the technique he had created.

The subtle differences and reactions arising from each elder's unique physique, karmic composition, and law comprehension during cultivation were all captured, analyzed, and absorbed by his heaven-defying comprehension, transforming into precious resources to perfect himself.
