You Want to Subdue the Dragon Clan?

At the same time, Ao Guang had also caught the implication in Qing Xuan's words—that this island was Lu Xuan's dojo. In other words, if the Dragon Clan wanted to seize this Chance of Survival, they would have to obtain Qing Xuan's permission. So he directly bowed to Qing Xuan and said.

"Thank you, Qing Lian Daojun, for enlightening this Young Dragon. However, how can my Dragon Clan obtain this Chance of Survival? I implore Qing Lian Daojun to inform this Young Dragon."

In essence, he was asking Qing Xuan what benefits he required to allow the Dragon Clan to pass through his dojo and reach their ancestral land to receive the inheritance.

Qing Xuan saw that Ao Guang had finally been swayed by his words and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It wasn't that Qing Xuan feared Ao Guang, but rather that he simply wanted to avoid trouble.

So he directly said to Ao Guang, "You may select eight members of the Dragon Clan with exceptional talent and have them come to This Daoist's dojo to undergo a trial."

"A thousand years from now, I will provide at least two spots for them to enter the Dragon Tomb smoothly. But whether they can gain the recognition of the Ancient Dragon Clan will depend on Their Fortune."

Ao Guang was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately bowed to Qing Xuan, saying, "Thank you, Qing Lian Daojun. This Young Dragon will return at once to arrange for the Dragon Clan's juniors to come and receive the trial at Qing Lian Daojun's dojo."

After speaking, he bowed once more to Qing Xuan and Nuwa, then transformed into a giant dragon and plunged into the East Sea.

Watching the Sea Surface return to calm, Nuwa quietly asked Qing Xuan, "Do you really have a way to let the Dragon Clan enter the Dragon Tomb?"

"If you're thinking of relying on your own cultivation to send them in, you'd better abandon that idea, because the Dragon Tomb cannot be entered by anyone who isn't a dragon."

Qing Xuan smiled and nodded, "I know that, and I never planned to go into the Dragon Tomb myself."

Nuwa was baffled by Qing Xuan's words, as she simply couldn't figure out how he intended to pull it off.

As for what Qing Xuan had told Ao Guang, Nuwa didn't believe a single word. At the very least, the claim that Fangzhang Island had appeared here by Heaven's will was something Qing Xuan had made up on the spot.

So she put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Qing Xuan, asking, "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I won't be polite."

With that, Nuwa's hand had already found the soft flesh at Qing Xuan's waist, the threat clear.

Qing Xuan sighed helplessly and shook the Folding Fan in his hand. The Seven Little Gourds on the fan collided with each other, producing a crisp sound.

Nuwa was even more confused and immediately applied a third of her strength. Though he felt no pain, Qing Xuan still made an exaggerated expression.

"Stop, stop, stop. What's the rush? Let me explain it to you slowly."

As he spoke, Qing Xuan had already taken out the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler and asked Nuwa, "Do you think the Isolation Array set up by the Ancient Dragon Clan can block this Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler?"

Nuwa instantly understood Qing Xuan's intention and directly asked him, "Are you planning to have the Dragon Clan attach themselves to the Hongmeng Liangtian Ruler, and then force your way into the Dragon Tomb?"

Qing Xuan lightly tapped Nuwa on the head, "Correct, but no reward."

Nuwa shot Qing Xuan a fierce glare and muttered under her breath, "And here I thought you had some brilliant plan. Turns out it's such a lowbrow trick."

Qing Xuan sighed and continued, "This is just a last resort. Even if I send them into the Dragon Tomb this way, if their cultivation hasn't reached the Zenith Heaven Realm, they might not obtain the inheritance."

"So to fundamentally solve this problem, we need to help the Dragon Clan break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. That way, not only can they inherit the Ancient Dragon Clan's legacy, but we can also fully win over the Dragon Clan."

Nuwa sneered disdainfully at Qing Xuan, "You? Even the Dragon Clan Leader Ao Pinghe couldn't accomplish that. Do you really think you can?"

Qing Xuan smiled without a word, took Nuwa's hand, and headed into Fangzhang Island. In no time, they arrived at the Three Lights Divine Water Pool, and he pointed to the Pure World White Lotus in the pool.

"The Pure World White Lotus has the power to cleanse all filth and purify the Primordial Spirit. Do you think it can wash away the Karmic Debt of the Dragon Clan?"

Nuwa fell into thought. She knew that the Karma Red Lotus could burn away Karmic Debt, but whether the Pure World White Lotus could wash it away, she wasn't sure.

Just then, Fu Xi and Houtu approached. Fu Xi said to Nuwa, "Little Sister, Qing Xuan Daoist is right."

"The Karmic Debt that the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Three Clans have incurred did not come from their own killings. So it's different from ordinary Karmic Debt."

"To be precise, it's an Inner Demon. Once a Dragon Clan member reaches the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm and tries to advance further, the Inner Demon will arise and prevent them from breaking through to the Zenith Heaven Realm."

"If they force a breakthrough, the Inner Demon will be magnified, dragging them into the Demon Path, and they will be reduced to Flying Ash under Heavenly Punishment."

"The Pure World White Lotus, with its ability to purify the Primordial Spirit, is a top-tier Spiritual Treasure for resisting Inner Demons. It will definitely be useful to the Dragon Clan."

Qing Xuan smiled and nodded, "Fu Xi Daoist has keen insight. If the Karmic Debt were self-inflicted, the Pure World White Lotus's effectiveness would indeed be limited."

"Even using the Karma Red Lotus to burn away the karma would bring unbearable pain. So the best method is to offset it with merit."

"Moreover, for the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Three Clans, the Karma Red Lotus cannot eliminate their Karmic Debt. Otherwise, do you really think they wouldn't have sought out Old Ancestor Ming He?"

Having heard this far, Nuwa finally understood. Lu Xuan's real solution was to nurture the Dragon Clan.

This made Nuwa frown again, "Little Gourd Vine, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you intend to subdue the Dragon Clan?"

Qing Xuan didn't hide anything from Nuwa and directly nodded, "The importance of the Dragon Clan isn't apparent yet, but you'll understand in the future."

Qing Xuan wouldn't tell Nuwa that while current Cultivators didn't need the Dragon Clan to bring rain, the Human Race she had created would certainly need their help.

Gaining control of the Dragon Clan meant ensuring Fair Weather for the Human Race. With such a good opportunity, Qing Xuan naturally wouldn't let it slip.

But Nuwa didn't know all this. She was about to advise Qing Xuan to stay away from the Dragon Clan, after all, they were a race cursed by the Heavenly Dao.

As for having his dojo above the Dragon Tomb, that was no big deal. If the Dragon Clan dared to object, she could just beat the Dragon Lord into submission.

However, before Nuwa could speak, Fu Xi stopped her and said, "Little Sister, don't question Qing Xuan Daoist's decisions from now on."

"Whatever Qing Xuan Daoist decides, we only need to follow. Remember, no matter what, Qing Xuan Daoist will never let us suffer a loss."
