How Powerful Was He, Really? Laozi's Judgment
Old Dragon chuckled and said something astonishing, instantly seeing through the point that Ling Xiao's body was not his true form. He said this with a hint of showing off, to prove his own power.
Upon hearing this, the creature that heard it was stunned and immediately exploded.
"This is already so outrageous, and it's just a clone!?"
"Then how powerful must the main body be?"
They were shocked. Suddenly, they remembered that the powerful figures defeated by Ling Xiao had already left. If they knew that what defeated them was only an avatar, would they be mentally devastated?
Even Di Jun and Tai Yi were completely bewildered. So, after all that, their Third Brother had only sent an avatar?
That's right, the Third Brother is still the same Third Brother, still loves home and doesn't want to leave Sun Star.
But this is too strong. They thought the gap between them and Ling Xiao was gradually closing and that it wasn't so outrageous anymore.
But now the gap seems even wider!
Ling Xiao was slightly surprised, not expecting that the Old Dragon could see through this, which showed that his magical power was not bad.
"So what if I do? Do you think you've seen through me? Are you trying to show off your strength?"
Do you want me to fight you with all my might?
He sneered, completely unmoved by such tactics. If Old Dragon tried to play tricks on him, he would simply summon his true form and unleash a rampage.
The domineering words made the Old Dragon's lips twitch, and he hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, I have no intention of fighting."
"Now that I am old, I am tired of fighting and killing. What I cultivate is a peaceful mind, and I never compete with others."
He spoke slowly and deliberately, his face bearing an expression of detachment from worldly affairs, exuding an otherworldly air.
Upon hearing this, Ao Zhan, the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, glanced at the Old Dragon in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.
Ling Xiao shrugged and said calmly, "Your Dragon Clan provoked us first, so we can't just let it go with a simple 'stop the fighting' statement, can we?"
Old Dragon gave an awkward smile. In fact, their plan was to make a dazzling appearance, sweep across all directions, and seize the treasure. After all, normally no living being could be their match, but they did not expect Ling Xiao to be an exception.
He couldn't discern Ling Xiao's cultivation level, only knowing that it was an avatar, and he couldn't be certain how strong Ling Xiao's true form was, so he didn't want to take the risk.
Their Dragon Clan is no longer as powerful as before. After the great calamity, they need to be extremely vigilant and cautious, otherwise they might face annihilation.
"Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, it was all a misunderstanding. From now on, these three immortal Immortal Island belong to you. You may use the surrounding Dragon Clan as you see fit. Don't be shy. Consider this compensation from my Dragon Clan to you."
"From now on, the Dragon Clan and the Golden Crow Clan will be one family... Haha... Isn't that wonderful?" The Old Dragon chuckled, his face kind and benevolent, looking completely harmless.
"Who says we're family? That's not nice at all!" Di Jun immediately objected. His Golden Crow clan only had three members, all elites among elites. How could they be lumped together with the Dragon Clan?
"Alright, let's drop this matter. From now on, no one is allowed to approach Three Immortal Islands without our permission."
Ling Xiao waved his hand, signaling the Dragon Clan to leave. The Old Dragon's strength was unfathomable, and there was no need for a pointless fight. In any case, he had already gotten what he wanted.
"Alright, Fellow Three Crows, we're neighbors now. Come visit my Dragon Palace sometime!"
The Old Dragon laughed heartily, raised his hand and grabbed Ao Zhan and the other Dragon Clan, then sank into the sea.
"Sure enough, there's something there!" Ling Xiao's eyes flickered. Just from this one move, he could tell that Old Dragon's methods were truly extraordinary.
"What a cunning old slippery eel..."
After the Dragon Clan left, Tai Yi immediately stepped forward to clean up the battlefield.
"Fellow Daoists, from now on these three immortal Immortal Island will be the Dao grounds of the Three Crows. No one may trespass without permission. Please leave now."
All living beings couldn't help but feel sorry, but there was nothing they could do but obediently leave. Even the top-level powerful beings couldn't defeat the Three Crows, so they were even less capable.
"Fellow Three Crows, congratulations!"
Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun arrived, beaming with joy, and presented three Ginseng Fruit as a congratulatory gift.
They looked at Ling Xiao as if he were a monster.
In short, from the beginning until now, I've been almost numb with shock.
"You're too kind," Di Jun said, accepting the Ginseng Fruit and dividing it among himself.
"Zhenyuanzi Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, Fellow Daoist Hongyun, please feel free to come to Three Immortal Islands to discuss the Dao anytime in the future, no need to be polite!" Ling Xiao said with a smile, taking a bite of the Ginseng Fruit, his mouth immediately filled with fragrance, a taste he had never experienced before.
There was a hint of saltiness in the sea breeze.
"Hehe, Fellow Ling Xiao, I think it would be more appropriate to call these three immortal Immortal Island the Three Crows Island." Hong Yun suggested with a smile, seemingly quite knowledgeable in the matter of naming.
In fact, he didn't hold back with Zhenyuanzi. Having just amassed quite a few treasures, he felt he had to give something in return.
Zhenyuanzi, standing to the side, was speechless. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. What kind of lousy name is this?
Ling Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, and casually said, "It's all the same... we'll talk about it later."
They then entered the island, explored and talked. The Three Immortal Islands were too vast; even with normal exploration, it would take a thousand years to fully explore them.
Meanwhile, at Mount Yujing.
After much effort, Tongtian finally managed to save Yuanshi and Laozi. Laozi was fine, but Yuanshi was seriously injured due to damage to his very Yuanshi.
Coupled with the humiliation of being defeated, he fainted several times from anger.
It took a long time for my emotions to gradually stabilize.
"Damn it! How could we lose to three Golden Crow? We are the Pangu Orthodox Lineage!"
Yuanshi sat cross-legged on the futon, his aura weak, and faint traces of Dao marks could be seen on his body. These were Dao injuries left by Ling Xiao, and if they were not healed in time, they might affect his foundation in the future.
Physical injuries are minor; psychological injuries are major.
He couldn't let it go.
"I underestimated the Three Crows. If I'm not mistaken, the Three Crows are walking the path of Proving the Dao via Law," Laozi said solemnly.
"Cultivating the laws? No wonder his combat power is so strong!" Tongtian said with some surprise.
"Hehe, they are strong, but their path has come to an end," Laozi said with a faint smile, which puzzled Tongtian.
"Brother, why would you say that?"
"Although they have achieved the status of Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, it will be extremely difficult for them to advance further in the future."
"Let me ask you this: when you're trying to comprehend the laws, do you find it easy or difficult?"
Laozi looked at Tongtian and asked with a smile.
Tongtian paused for a moment, then said, "Difficult, indeed, extremely difficult!"
"That's right." Laozi Tzu nodded, then continued, "This also proves that this path is blocked. Even if they can achieve the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, it will be extremely difficult for them to advance further!"
"We are the manifestations of Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Whether in terms of origin or comprehension, we are the most powerful. Even you and I find it difficult, let alone the Golden Crow."
After his analysis, he seemed quite confident and in control.
He had long attempted to comprehend the laws, but progress was slow; it was difficult even at the Daluo Golden Immortal stage, let alone the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, and as for attaining the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, that was even more impossible.
