Dragons Without Leaders, Myriad Immortals Pay Homage

On the East Sea, colossal waves surged, exuding immense power. Sect Master Tongtian felt his thoughts clear and his Dao heart leap with joy, a stark contrast to the aura of Kunlun Mountain.

All things possess momentum!

While Kunlun Mountain was magnificent, its majesty was too imposing and didn't quite align with his Great Dao of "teaching without discrimination." This convergence of a hundred rivers, the East Sea, was far more fitting for the Intercepting Sect's teachings!

"This is the place!"

Sect Master Tongtian sensed it. The Green Ping Sword materialized, and with a single slash forward, an immortal island shaped like a golden ao, spanning a million miles in circumference, appeared before the disciples of the Intercepting Sect.

On the immortal island, immortal flowers and exquisite herbs carpeted the ground, and spiritual roots and wondrous trees were found everywhere. The Innate Spiritual Qi was incredibly dense, and immortal mist swirled, making it no less impressive than Kunlun Mountain.

"Let's call it Golden Ao Island!"

Sect Master Tongtian spoke casually, immediately triggering a change in the celestial phenomena. The Saint's words followed by law were no mere saying; the Heavenly Dao promptly descended with boundless auspicious energy.

Seeing this, Xuan Qing immediately bowed to Sect Master Tongtian, congratulating him, "Congratulations, Master! Upon arriving at the East Sea, an immortal island has manifested in accordance with destiny, destined to be our Intercepting Sect's Daoist sanctuary!"

It had to be said that a Saint's destiny was truly extraordinary. He had searched the East Sea for thousands of years without finding Golden Ao Island, yet it manifested in accordance with destiny as soon as Sect Master Tongtian arrived, demonstrating the profound favor of the Heavenly Dao.

"Let's go!"

Sect Master Tongtian was greatly pleased and laughed, "From now on, this will be the mountain gate of our Intercepting Sect!"

With that, he descended from the clouds and, with a wave of his hand, the Shangqing Palace, which he had previously stored away, transformed into a stream of light and landed in the very center of Golden Ao Island.

Such a grand display naturally alerted many powerful beings, with the East Sea Dragon Palace being the first to be affected.

The emergence of Golden Ao Island in the East Sea could not be hidden from the Dragon Clan. Ao Guang, who had just inherited the position of East Sea Dragon King, immediately dispatched elite members of the Dragon Clan to investigate.

However, upon witnessing the overwhelming, sun-like saintly aura that permeated the area, none dared to step forward. They could only hastily send someone back to the Dragon Palace to report.

"Saint Tongtian?"

Ao Guang was greatly alarmed upon hearing this. "He's actually moved the Intercepting Sect's Daoist sanctuary to the East Sea?"

Afterward, he inquired further and learned that Saint Grand Pure and Saint Primordial Lord of Heaven had not accompanied him. He then understood that the Three Pure Ones had gone their separate ways.

"The future Great Desolation will be an era of Saints. For the Dragon Clan to maintain its territory and even cleanse itself of karma, we must build good relationships with the Saints!"

Ao Guang's heart stirred as he recalled the words of the previous East Sea Dragon King, his father Ao Cang, before his demise.

"Prepare gifts!"

"We must prepare a grand gift!"

Ao Guang quickly instructed his subordinates to retrieve sufficient treasures from the vault.

In the past, they had attempted to befriend Saints. After the Three Pure Ones achieved sainthood, True Person Huang Long, who joined the Heavenly Origin Sect, and the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage gifted to Primordial Lord of Heaven, were all expressions of the Dragon Clan's desire for good relations with the Saints.

Unfortunately, although True Person Huang Long was conceived by heaven and earth and took form from the dragon veins, he was still tainted by the Dragon Clan's karma and was not highly regarded by Primordial Lord of Heaven within the Heavenly Origin Sect.

As for the Intercepting Sect, due to Sect Master Tongtian's philosophy of "teaching without discrimination," quite a few members of the Dragon Clan had joined, but none had the opportunity to become direct disciples.

Now, with Sect Master Tongtian moving his Daoist sanctuary to the East Sea, it was undoubtedly an opportunity for the Dragon Clan to foster a good relationship with him.

Therefore, Ao Guang did not hesitate.

"I do not agree!"

However, due to Ao Guang's lack of seniority, many of the Dragon Clan's old guard did not recognize his position as East Sea Dragon King and immediately refuted his decision.

"Our Dragon Clan reigns supreme over the Four Seas, controlling the water transport of heaven and earth. Why should we stoop to currying favor?"

"Ao Guang, you have disappointed me greatly!"

The speaker was Ao Guang's second uncle, one of the few conservatives within the Dragon Clan, and the biological brother of the previous East Sea Dragon King, Ao Cang—Ao Hong!

Ao Guang's expression turned extremely grim. "Second Uncle, I am the East Sea Dragon King! Befriending the Saints was also the decision of several Dragon Clan Ancestors and my father!"

In this world, there were always those who failed to grasp the situation, lost in past glories.

Ao Hong was one of them!

He had believed that with his cultivation at the peak of Great Golden Immortal, after Ao Cang's demise, several Dragon Clan Ancestors would have appointed him the new East Sea Dragon King.

But he never expected that Candle Dragon, Yinglong, and the others would not even consider him, instead choosing Ao Guang, whom he had always looked down upon and who had only barely broken through to Grand Unity!

Therefore, he constantly opposed Ao Guang.

Ao Guang did not indulge him and, whenever an issue arose, he would directly invoke the Ancestors.

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing Ao Guang use the Ancestors to pressure him again, Ao Hong became furious but had no retort. He could only coldly snort at Ao Guang before leaving in a huff.

"You just wait!"

Ao Hong remained unconvinced in his heart.

He believed that only under his leadership could the Dragon Clan possibly regain its former glory.

"The dragons are without a leader, what can be done!"

Seeing Ao Hong leave, Ao Guang couldn't help but sigh. Ever since Ancestor Dragon fell and used his body to suppress the Ruins of Return, no dragon had been able to command the entire Dragon Clan!

Even the Ancestors like Candle Dragon, Yinglong, Shenlong, Azure Dragon, and Red Dragon had differing opinions, leading to the emergence of multiple factions within the Dragon Clan.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sect Master Tongtian's thoughts stirred, and he renamed the "Shangqing Palace" to "Biyou Palace."

"This body is determined to intercept heavenly secrets, ascending to the twelve towers of Jade Capital. A single sword across the sky suppresses ten thousand ages, a thought shifts the stars and constellations. The long wind surges to express my feelings, in the blue sea and azure sky, I roam at will!"

"Still, 'Biyou Palace' sounds better!"

Ascending the mountain peak, one truly sees the surging long wind; standing in the wilderness, one understands the vastness of heaven and earth; immersed in the great sea, one can feel the carefree spirit of 'the sea is vast and the sky is high, allowing me to roar freely.'

Located in the East Sea, Sect Master Tongtian also felt that his Dao heart had become much more complete.

He watched his many disciples busily building palaces and opening up caves, and couldn't help but let out a carefree laugh: "This is the place that suits my Intercepting Sect's development!"

The East Sea region was the place with the most rogue cultivators in the Great Desolation world. All of this originated from East Prince Gong, who had once established an "Immortal Court" on Purple Mansion Continent!

Although East Prince Gong was later killed by Di Jun, and the "Immortal Court" vanished, with Purple Mansion Continent being scattered into countless immortal islands by Eastern Emperor Taiyi using the "Chaos Bell," it still made the East Sea region a gathering place for rogue cultivators.

Many people were searching the sea, hoping to find the treasures of the "Immortal Court."

Unfortunately, they found nothing!

After an unknown amount of time, seeing the Intercepting Sect's dojo established, Sect Master Tongtian immediately announced loudly: "This humble Daoist Tongtian is re-establishing the Intercepting Sect's dojo on Golden Ao Island in the East Sea, with teaching for all regardless of background. I intend to preach the Great Dao in three thousand years, and all those with affinity are welcome to come!"

His voice, amplified by the power of the Heavenly Dao, echoed throughout the entire Great Desolation world. Countless rogue cultivators were greatly excited and, transforming into streams of light, fled towards the East Sea.

In an instant, ten thousand immortals came to pay homage!

Meanwhile, Xuan Qing once again took on the important responsibility of supervising the disciples of the Intercepting Sect. Without Primordial Lord of Heaven's suppression, some of the Intercepting Sect disciples' true natures could no longer be contained!

When they were in Kunlun, most of the outer disciples of the Intercepting Sect knew that Primordial Lord of Heaven did not favor them. They usually acted with extreme caution, afraid of offending the Saint.

But after arriving here, some felt they could act with impunity!

Among them were Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and Qiu Shou Xian, who were among the Seven Attendants. Xuan Qing immediately employed thunderous means, making an example of the disciples by killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.

Qiu Shou Xian's offense was not major; he merely received ten heavenly lightning strikes and was ordered to reflect under Purple Reed Cliff for a thousand years.

As for Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, Xuan Qing directly crippled his cultivation and expelled him from the Intercepting Sect. He had been waiting for this day for a long time!

He naturally knew that Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was a traitor, but the other party had always acted cautiously, so Xuan Qing had never caught him violating the Intercepting Sect's rules.

He couldn't just make up a charge!

Now that the other party had actively committed a mistake, Xuan Qing would naturally not let this heaven-sent opportunity slip away.

"Leave quickly!"

Xuan Qing said coldly: "Don't ever claim to be a disciple of the Intercepting Sect again! Otherwise, this Daoist will make you understand what it means to wish you were dead!"

Of course, this was merely an outward show, intended for the other Intercepting Sect disciples to see.

Xuan Qing had always been cautious and did not wish to become entangled in karma. How could he leave behind a hidden danger for himself?

Shortly after Chang Er Ding Guang Xian left, he directly activated a secret technique from the King Pan inheritance, annihilating the other party's three souls and seven spirits across millions of miles of void!
