The Ominous Monster, Long Bo

After accepting the Giant Ao Clan, Donghua did not rush to Daiyu Island. Instead, he immersed himself in the Purple Mansion World within his body to check on Bai Lian's condition.

To be honest, he was genuinely a bit surprised that the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus would devour the Purification Pearl.

In the Primordial Wilderness, there are many innate Daos that are very similar, or even the same, spiritual treasures. However, it is basically impossible to advance through devouring them. This is the uniqueness and independence of Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Therefore, the Pure World White Lotus is able to devour the Purification Pearl, meaning the two must have originated from the same source, or perhaps they are one entity!

At this moment, the Pure World White Lotus was operating at high speed within the Purple Mansion World, its body enveloped in pure white light. Donghua immersed his mind in the white lotus.

Sensing that Bai Lian was currently jubilant and in a wonderful state, as if undergoing a second evolution.

Donghua attempted to comprehend this state of evolution, which is the original combination of Dao with Dao, the original collision of Dao with Dao, and also a leap and sublimation of Dao.

Time passed by!

After returning to the island, the Giant Turtle Clan Chief waited anxiously for several days, but Donghua did not appear, and he began to feel at a loss.

"Chieftain, has His Majesty King Dong agreed yet? Why hasn't he made a move? In the past few days, many more members of our tribe have been hunted down and killed by the Giant Race. This cannot continue."

Hearing this, the Giant Turtle Clan Chief grabbed the man and lifted him up, shouting angrily, "You still have the nerve to talk back? You, Elder, what kind of advice did you give me? My face, I've lost all face, and I almost got killed by the East King! What were your intentions?"

The elder said, both frightened and aggrieved, "I don't know either. I've studied His Majesty's personality for so long. Given his pride, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by if you did what you did, clan leader. But who would have thought His Majesty isn't that kind of person!"

The Giant Turtle Clan Chief angrily pushed the Grand Elder away, paced back and forth anxiously, and sighed, "Our clan has now submitted to His Majesty. Otherwise, we will return this Water Control Pearl to His Majesty and then beg His Majesty for help!"

"Clan leader, you mustn't! Our clan has already lost the Purifying World Pearl. If we lose this Water Control Pearl as well, how will you break through to Quasi-Saint? Our clan will never have a chance to rise again!"

The Giant Turtle Clan Chief sighed, "It's just a magical treasure, nothing compared to our clansmen. As long as this calamity can be resolved, anything is acceptable."

"As long as people are still alive, anything is possible. Even if I can't break through to Quasi-Saint, my clansmen will have a chance to do so."

Just as the giant turtle finished speaking, it prepared to go to the Purple Mansion to find Donghua, but suddenly someone entered from outside the hall.

It was the Great Commander of Fate.

The two quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Emperor Qinghua."

The Great Commander of Fate glanced at the two men; he had overheard their conversation. He slowly said, "His Majesty has already departed for Daiyu Island and summons you there."

After thinking for a moment, he explained, "I was planning to go before, but something came up and I was delayed. It's not that I'm after your magical treasures. Don't overthink it; His Majesty wouldn't even consider them."

The two men repeatedly said, "Not at all, not at all. We were just being petty and misjudging His Majesty's intentions."

The three then left the island and arrived at the East Sea, where they saw Donghua riding on Gouchen's back, clearly waiting for them.

"We have met Your Majesty. We are deeply sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Donghua smiled, gently helped the two up, and said, "I should be the one feeling guilty. These past few days have seen another death of your clansmen. Regardless of the reason, it is my fault. Please forgive me."

"We dare not; it is we who have troubled His Majesty's cultivation."

Donghua: "You are now my subordinates, so why are you bothering me? This is simply what I should do."

"If any of your clansmen possess extraordinary talent, they may be sent to the Purple Mansion for cultivation!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Donghua said nothing more, patted Gouchen, and walked on the water, heading straight for Daiyu Island!

The Giant Race were born during the Desolate Ancient Fierce Beasts. They are a primordial race with dragon heads and human bodies, but they are not Dragon Clan.

The dragon-headed, human-bodied form is one of Pangu's forms. Pangu had myriad forms, hence the myriad races of the Primordial Wilderness.

Giant Race are naturally tall and mighty, with boundless combat power. Their cultivation of Divine Dao combat methods and the power of laws can be considered another version of the Witch Clan.

In those days, Fierce Beasts roamed the Four Seas. The Ancestor Dragon summoned all living beings from the Four Seas to jointly annihilate the Fierce Beasts.

At that time, the Giant Race joined the fray, forming an alliance with the Dragon Clan. They ultimately annihilated the Fierce Beasts of the sea, achieving an immortal feat.

After the Fierce Beast Tribulation, the Ancestor Dragon bestowed the title of Longbo of the Giant Race and granted Daiyu Island as the territory of the Giant Race.

Later, Three Clans War, the Giant Race no longer participated, nor did they obey the Dragon Clan's orders, thus ending their alliance. They then lived and cultivated on Daiyu Island.

Later, when the Demon Clan launched a full-scale attack on the Primordial World Continent, the Giant Race once again dispatched troops from Daiyu Island, sweeping across the land and reaching the Western Continent. After the great war, they returned to Daiyu and sealed off the island from then on!

Therefore, whether it was the ancient Fierce Beast Tribulation or the later Immortal-Demon War and demons, the Giant Race made great contributions to the Primordial Wilderness and to the Immortal Dao.

Therefore, both the Dragon Clan of the past and the current overlord of the East Sea, Purple Mansion, let them be and did not disturb their cultivation. The original East King Gong did not try to subdue the Giant Race either.

On Daiyu Island!

Sunlight shines on the clear forest, where thousands of Red Mist swirl around; wind blows through the shady ravines, where countless Caiyun drift and fly; dragons roar and tigers howl, cranes dance and monkeys cry; and one can see the flowers blooming and withering on the mountaintops, and clouds coming and going on the ridge peaks.

It was still as beautiful and prosperous as before, but the Giant Race on the island were no longer as powerful as they once were.

Inside a grand hall!

"Can we catch a giant turtle today?"

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, the Giant Ao Clan has urgently recalled its members and sealed off the island, only managing to capture three Giant Turtles at the Golden Immortal Realm!"

A tall figure slammed his hand on the table in anger, turned his dragon head, and sighed helplessly.

"Now that things have come to this, we cannot wait to die. Longbo's curse is growing stronger. I intend to gather the clansmen and launch a full-scale attack on the Giant Ao Clan."

Several others hurriedly intervened, saying, "No, Elder! The island where the Giant Ao Clan resides is located within the territory of the Purple Mansion Three Islands. If we attack it, we will surely offend the Purple Mansion... this..."

The elder said angrily, "What else can we do? Longbo is suffering from the pain of the curse, and it is spreading through his bloodline. Now, every newborn in our clan is born with the curse. Are we to be wiped out?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Suddenly, one of them said, "Let's fight! Since the beginning of time, our Giant Race has never been afraid of anyone. Elder, please ask Chief Longbo for his opinion. If Longbo agrees, I will immediately raise an army to wipe out the Giant Ao Clan."

"We can take down the Giant Ao Clan in an instant, giving the Purple Mansion no chance to react. We can deal with the aftermath later. As long as the benefits are right, I believe the East King Gong will not be our enemy!"

The Giant Race are not a small, Primordial Wilderness race; their clan is full of experts. Even if they are no match for the Purple Mansion, defeating them will not be easy.

As long as the apology and repentance are sincere, they believe the Purple Mansion will not take action against the mere Giant Ao Clan.

"But even if we captured the entire Giant Ao Clan, it would be a drop in the ocean. Moreover, the purifying power within the Giant Ao Clan's bloodline can only solve the problems of newborns; it's of no use to Chief Longbo!"

The Grand Elder hesitated for a moment, then said angrily, "We can't worry about that now. We'll deal with whatever we can. As for Longbo's curse, we'll figure something out later!"

"That's settled then, Second Elder. You go and gather the troops first, I'll go and report to Longbo!"

After speaking, the six people in the hall dispersed, and the Grand Elder walked towards a valley at the back, where he found the place where Longbo was in seclusion.

"Elder, you've arrived!"

In the valley, Longbo's enormous body sat beside a great river, which seemed insignificant in comparison to him!

Longbo had a full head of white hair and his body emitted a red light, which was suppressed by another yellow light. The two forces were intertwined, which was truly bizarre!

"Chieftain, has your curse power increased again?"

Longbo smiled helplessly and said slowly, "It's alright, I'm used to it. This curse power is formed by the Great Dao Law, and it has now completely integrated into my Great Dao, primordial spirit, body, magic power, and bloodline. Although it won't take my life, it has caused you all great suffering!"

"Chieftain, we have decided to send troops to attack the Giant Ao Clan, capture them, and use their blood to heal our people. We would like to hear your opinion?"

Longbo fell silent. To be honest, he was kind by nature and disliked killing, which was why he was unwilling to join the Dragon Clan's struggle for supremacy.

"This action is against the natural order, but for the sake of our people, we have no choice but to send troops. Leave the Purple Mansion to me. If the East King Gong makes a move, I will deal with this Eastern Emperor Donghua!"

The First Elder sighed softly, "With the Clan Chief's words, I am relieved. I just wonder if the Clan Chief's intervention now will affect my injuries? However, it's best not to make enemies with the Purple Mansion."

"This world is no longer ours. Since Hongjun attained enlightenment and became Saint, the immortal Immortal Dao has flourished. We'd better keep a low profile. None of these Innate Deities are easy to deal with."

"Now that Hongjun has merged with the Dao, he has achieved the uniqueness of the Immortal Dao, and he can no longer compete with these juniors!"

Just as the Grand Elder finished speaking, Longbo emitted a red light, a silent Daoist aura surrounded him, his white hair instantly turned red, and the red light around him intensified, making him look extremely terrifying.

Longbo quickly regulated his breathing, and it took him quite a while to recover. He exclaimed, "The Curse Demon truly lives up to its reputation as the most bizarre demon under the command of Demon Ancestor Luohu. This Great Curse Great Dao and the Curse Arrow are truly formidable!"

The First Elder thought for a moment and said, "Clan Chief, the Three Pure Ones are disciples of Hongjun. Why don't we go and ask them for help? Perhaps they can break the clan chief's curse!"

Longbo shook his head, saying dejectedly, "It's no use. If I had sought help from the beginning, there would have been a chance to resolve it, but now the power of this curse has completely merged with me, beyond human control."

"Go and prepare. First, lift the curse on our clan's descendants. After capturing them and bringing them back to the Giant Ao Clan, don't rush to kill them. Ask them where the Purifying World Power in their bloodline comes from."

"It's quite strange that such a small aquatic creature possesses the Purifying World Power in its bloodline. Perhaps there really is a chance to break the curse."

"If the Purple Mansion makes a move, you don't need to worry. Although I am deeply affected by the curse, it is still not a problem for me to make a move in a short period of time."

"I also want to personally meet this Eastern Wood Duke and Eastern Emperor Donghua. It's been so long since I've made a move, and my old bones are getting stiff from sitting here."

Longbo does not cultivate the Immortal Dao, but rather the Desolate Ancient God Path. However, no one knows how strong he is now, from the ancient times to the present.

However, considering their generation, even someone like King Pan, whose cultivation of the Great Dao went astray, was still at the mid-stage of Mid Quasi-Saint. It seems that Longbo shouldn't be too bad.

However, before the First Elder could leave, the Sixth Elder flew over and said, "Reporting to the Clan Chief and the First Elder, the East King Gong of the Purple Mansion, along with the Clan Chief of the Giant Ao Clan, has come to visit our clan. They are currently waiting outside the island and request your instructions!"

Longbo smiled and said, "It seems the Giant Ao Clan has some good stuff; they actually managed to get the East King Gong to mediate."

"Elder, you should go and talk to them first. If the Giant Ao Clan is sensible and tells us where the Purifying World Power comes from, we can refrain from intervening. Everything we've done is to resolve the curse on our descendants. If we can resolve this peacefully and avoid bloodshed, that would be even better!"

"Yes, sir!"
