Sages Are Worthless Now? A Hot Potato of Primordial Violet Qi
Laozi and Yuanshi descended upon the East Sea Eye, looking down upon the abyss below.
This place resembles a giant pupil, gleaming with a dark light, and a murderous intent is lurking within. Ordinary immortals who come here will surely meet their demise.
Besides the Ancestral Dragon, they also detected the presence of the Zhulong.
Yuanshi exuded a trace of holy might and coldly said, "You wretch, we have come here, why don't you show yourself?"
Although the Ancestral Dragon was Sage appointed by the Dao Ancestor, in his eyes he was still a creature with fur and horns, whom he looked down upon from the bottom of his heart.
"Gulp..."
A wave surged from the Sea Eye, and a gigantic dragon head emerged, smiling obsequiously, "What brings you two Sages to this humble dragon's place?"
"Hehe, you wicked dragon are lucky. We have brought you tremendous benefits. Soon you will be able to leave this place and see the light of day again."
Yuanshi said with a mocking smile.
"Oh? What good news?" Ancestral Dragon asked curiously, a hint of doubt flashing in his lantern-like Big Eye.
He appears docile on the surface, but in his heart he has already cursed Yuanshi's ancestors for eight generations.
In the past, when he was the most powerful ruler in the world, Laozi and Yuanshi had to behave themselves and dare not speak loudly in his presence. But now that these two have become saints, their attitudes have changed drastically.
If it were before, I would have slapped him already.
But times have changed. The Ancestral Dragon knew that was all in the past, his former glory was gone, and he could only face reality and swallow his pride.
Yuanshi didn't keep them in suspense. He raised his hand and grabbed, producing a wisp of Primordial Violet Qi. Looking down at Ancestral Dragon, he said calmly, "You should know about this, right?"
"Primordial Violet Qi!" The Ancestral Dragon's eyes widened, his face full of confusion, and he slowly asked, "What does this have to do with Little Dragon?"
"Of course it's related. We've come here on the orders of the Dao Ancestor. You are blessed with great fortune and have the opportunity to become a saint. This is a gift from the Dao Ancestor!"
Yuanshi threw the Primordial Violet Qi in his hand, and the purple qi swayed and floated in front of Ancestral Dragon.
Ancestral Dragon stared blankly at the Primordial Violet Qi, his heart filled with turbulent waves, completely stunned by the shock!
"I actually have a chance to become a saint!?"
"No way? No way?"
Ever since the great war Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, he has been barely surviving here. He never expected that the Dao Ancestor would bestow upon him the Primordial Violet Qi, giving him the possibility of becoming a saint!
The sheer magnitude of the change is breathtaking.
Even at his peak, the Ancestral Dragon was still an insurmountable gap from becoming Sage.
"Evil Dragon, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and accept the Primordial Violet Qi to express your gratitude!" Yuanshi the Ancestral Dragon was still motionless and had become numb with shock, Yuanshi urged him impatiently.
They're still waiting to catch the next one.
Laozi gently stroked his white beard and nodded with satisfaction. No matter how outstanding or arrogant you were, no matter how powerful you were before, you could not resist the temptation of becoming a saint.
Even someone as powerful as the Ancestral Dragon was like this; upon hearing of a chance to become a saint, he was so happy he lost all sense of direction.
Looking back to the peak of the Ancestral Dragon Realm, they could only look up in awe. Now, time has passed, and everything has vanished. Only immortality is Eternal.
But this requires becoming Sage.
Even the Ancestral Dragon could not refuse.
The Dao Ancestor granted them the power to help the Ancestral Dragon and the Yuanfeng achieve sainthood. In reality, it was just a matter of a word, and they would all obediently comply. No one would refuse the opportunity to become a saint.
Thinking of this, Laozi felt a little regretful. If he had a choice, he wouldn't mind giving Minghe and the Duke of the East a chance, since the two of them had been played quite badly.
Now that there's a real chance to become a saint, they're the ones who don't get it.
"Life is unpredictable!" Laozi sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat wistful but not guilty. He could only say that the Duke of the East and the Minghe were not fortunate enough, and he had no one to blame but himself.
Ancestral Dragon regained his senses, carefully accepted the Primordial Violet Qi, and smiled, "Thank you, Two Saints, and please thank the Dao Ancestor on my behalf as well."
"Absorb the Primordial Violet Qi, and it will guide you on how to become a saint," Laozi said with a faint smile, his attitude completely opposite to that of Yuanshi, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
Ancestral Dragon nodded emphatically, smiling obsequiously, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Sage. Would you like to have a seat in my humble abode and let me entertain you?"
He turned to the side, pointing to the black hole beneath him, and said, "The deep, dark Sea Eye exudes a chilling aura."
"No need, we have important matters to attend to." Yuanshi frowned and said coldly. Did they really think they could entertain them in this godforsaken place?
Dream on!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi and Laozi turned and left, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
As the Ancestral Dragon watched them depart, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his gaze became solemn.
He wasn't stupid; it just didn't make sense that Laozi and Yuanshi would send him the opportunity to become a saint for no reason.
Their Dragon Clan is a race suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and abandoned by the times. Now, the Dao Ancestor has suddenly given him the opportunity to become a saint. There must be something wrong with this.
Even using his dragon's backside to think about it, it feels really wrong.
"Why is the Dao Ancestor so interested in me? Why is he giving me the opportunity to become a saint?"
The Ancestral Dragon's large, bright Big Eye revealed a profound meaning as he rested his chin on his claws, racking his brains in thought.
"Gulp..."
A large bubble rose from the Sea Eye, and another dragon head emerged, looking somewhat similar to the Ancestral Dragon, but slightly smaller.
"Brother, those two guys are gone?"
The emerging dragon asked in a low voice, looking somewhat weak and listless, as if its tendons had been pulled out.
This dragon is none other than Zhulong. After recovering from its injuries, it has awakened, but its vital essence is greatly depleted, so it is somewhat weak.
"I'm leaving." Ancestral Dragon nodded, still clutching the Primordial Violet Qi in his hand.
"You didn't notice me, did you?" Zhulong asked furtively.
"Nonsense, even I can detect you, let alone Sage!" Ancestral Dragon unleashed his Primordial Violet Qi and slammed it down on Zhulong's head. Even a wisp of this thing weighed tens of millions of jin.
Zhulong clutched his head in pain, feeling even weaker.
"Stop pretending, you make the decision. What should I do? I want to become a saint, but I'm afraid of being scammed."
Ancestral Dragon looked at his younger brother and asked with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhulong straightened his expression and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "I think that in the past, I could have acted without hesitation, but the world has changed."
"To put it bluntly, Sage are no longer valuable, especially Heavenly Dao Sage."
"Think back to the great battle not long ago, where Dao Venerable Ling Xiao five Sages with a single blow."
"If you agree to become a saint, you must face him in the future!" Zhulong analyzed earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Ancestral Dragon's expression changed slightly, and he gradually gained a clear understanding.
Damn it, Hongjun is making him a free henchman!
"Then what do you suggest I do? I've already accepted the Primordial Violet Qi. If I back out halfway, won't they tear me apart?" Ancestral Dragon asked with a grim expression.
I never imagined that the Primordial Violet Qi would be so hot to handle!
