Primordial World Luck, Four Rivers Dragon Gods

The Dragon Clan is known for its love of collecting treasures. The moment Xuan Qing stepped into the Dragon Clan's treasury, a wave of treasure-scent washed over him. Countless spiritual treasures and materials were piled high.

There were over a hundred Innate Spiritual Treasures, but most were of low or mid-grade. Only a few were high-grade, and not a single Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was in sight.

It was obvious that the Dragon Clan did possess Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures; they were simply held by the old ancestors like Candle Dragon, Azure Dragon, and Yinglong.

Xuan Qing glanced over the low-grade and mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, finding them of limited power and little appeal to him.

He then turned his gaze to the high-grade spiritual treasure area.

Soon, a "Mountain River Cauldron," emanating a rich aura of water and earth elemental energies, caught his attention. Faint traces of authority also lingered on it.

Seeing Xuan Qing's gaze drift towards the "Mountain River Cauldron," Yinglong immediately stepped forward to introduce it. "This treasure's power is ordinary, but it contains a world within. It once belonged to the Huai River Dragon God. It can absorb the energy of earth veins and the essence of water veins to nurture 'Tianyi True Water' and 'Pure Yuan Soil,' which can nourish spiritual roots. Furthermore, it contains a small world!"

"Huai River Dragon God?"

Xuan Qing immediately asked, "I notice a faint trace of authority on this 'Mountain River Cauldron.' Is it related to this Huai River Dragon God?"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Yinglong couldn't help but show a wry smile. "During our Dragon Clan's peak, we not only dominated the Four Seas but also controlled countless water veins in the Primordial World, the Huai River being one of them! However, after the Dragon-Han Calamity, our Dragon Clan became entangled in karma and no longer had the strength to guard those water veins. We could only barely maintain our foothold in the Four Seas!"

"This 'Mountain River Cauldron' was once a spiritual treasure used by the Huai River Dragon God to suppress the luck of the mountains and rivers. But with the rise of the Demon Clan, the Huai River Dragon God perished, and the Huai River Water Mansion was occupied by the Water Ape Great Sage, Wu Zhiqi. The mountain and river luck that was originally gathered on this spiritual treasure has also mostly dissipated over the years!"

Since the rise of the Witch and Demon Clans, the Dragon Clan's situation had become increasingly difficult. The occupation of water veins like the Huai River by other races was not an isolated incident.

"Wu Zhiqi?"

Hearing the somewhat familiar name, Xuan Qing couldn't help but smile knowingly. "Then I'll choose this treasure! I feel a significant connection to this item!"

In his memory, Wu Zhiqi was one of the Six-Eared Macaques, the Red-butt Monkey, who would later be suppressed for obstructing Yu the Great's flood control efforts.

Moreover, the Huai River, as one of the future Four Rivers, should become Human Race territory.

He could use this to lay the groundwork in advance!

As he spoke, he thought of Ice Yi Yuan Jun. The Yellow River she occupied was also one of the future Four Rivers. Now that she had actively followed Ao Hong in betraying the Dragon Clan, the Yellow River Water Mansion had become ownerless. Could he take this opportunity to seize the Yellow River Water Mansion and refine the luck and authority of the Yellow River basin?

Xuan Qing took the "Mountain River Cauldron" and felt it carefully. As a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was sufficient to bear the mountain and river luck of several rivers similar to the Huai River!

And in his hand, he still had Nuwa's "Map of Mountains and Rivers." Gathering the luck of the Yellow River and Huai River basins would not be difficult for him!

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Yinglong and asked, "Does the Dragon Clan plan to appoint someone to manage the Yellow River Water Mansion?"

Yinglong glanced at the "Mountain River Cauldron" in Xuan Qing's hand and immediately understood his intentions. She smiled and said, "Our Dragon Clan is not as powerful as before; we only wish to maintain our basic territory in the Four Seas! As for the Yellow River Water Mansion, if you are not afraid of Ice Yi, I can agree to give it to you!"

Yinglong did not place much importance on the Yellow River water vein and the Yellow River Water Mansion. With the Dragon Clan's current strength, it was good enough to barely hold onto their foundation in the Four Seas!

In her view, using a water vein to befriend Xuan Qing, a direct disciple of a Saint, was undoubtedly worthwhile.

"Then thank you, Senior Yinglong!"

Xuan Qing did not refuse.

Yinglong's intentions were obvious, and he was well aware of them.

She simply wanted to use this opportunity to befriend him and, at the same time, find someone to bear the karma of Ice Yi Yuan Jun.

Both sides thought they were getting the better deal!

Afterward, he bid farewell to Yinglong and prepared to return to Golden Ao Island to refine the "Mountain River Cauldron."

Meanwhile, Ao Hong and Ice Yi Yuan Jun looked grimly at Daoist Jieyin. The latter had just taken a fragment of the "Dragon Transformation Pool" from Ao Hong.

This was the price for saving them!

Daoist Jieyin, with a compassionate expression, sat on a golden lotus platform. "Since you two have nowhere to go, why not join my Western Teachings?"

Ao Hong immediately refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Saint, but we are used to our freedom!"

Daoist Jieyin looked regretful.

How could a Quasi-Saint cultivator, especially one as ambitious as Ao Hong, abandon his ideals and convictions with just a few words?

He watched the two leave.

At this moment, Daoist Zhunti emerged from the void. "Brother, since you value these two, why not directly use the method of salvation to bring them into my Western Teachings?"

"It's not that easy!"

Daoist Jieyin shook his head and sighed. "Quasi-Saint cultivators are not so easily converted. Forcing them might only be counterproductive!"

He moved his mind and gathered the "Dragon Transformation Pool" fragments. "Once we reforge the Dragon Transformation Pool, some Dragons will naturally join the Western Teachings!"

On the other side, Ao Hong, having left Mount Sumeru, immediately had Ice Yi Yuan Jun use the "Sky Concealing Mirror" to conceal their heavenly secrets and then rapidly fled towards Zhang Yuan.

"At this point, we can't go back to the Yellow River Water Mansion!" Ao Hong sighed. "We can only seek refuge with Ji Meng in Zhang Yuan first!"

Ji Meng was once a great general under Ancestor Dragon. Like Ao Hong, he was a radical within the Dragon Clan. After Di Jun became the leader of the Demon Clan, he voluntarily joined them.

Now, with the luck of the Demon Clan, he had successfully broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm and was ranked among the Ten Great Demon Sages, holding authority in the Heavenly Court second only to the four Demon Emperors.

"Alright!"

Ice Yi Yuan Jun nodded silently.

In her heart, she was already regretting taking Ao Hong in. If it weren't for Ao Hong, she, a mighty Quasi-Saint, would not be hunted by the entire Dragon Clan.

And Ao Hong, of all things, had lost the fragments of the "Innate Dragon Gate" and the "Dragon Transformation Pool."

The land of Zhang Yuan was where Ji Meng had taken his human form. However, Ji Meng had since joined the Demon Clan and brought most of his kin to the Heavenly Court.

Only a small portion of his clan remained behind.

Upon learning of Ao Hong's situation, he immediately returned to Zhang Yuan in secret.

"Fellow Daoist Ao Hong, and Fellow Daoist Bing Yi, it truly has been a long time!" Ji Meng said with a smile. "Since the Dragon Clan can no longer accommodate the two of you, why not join me in the Heavenly Court?"

Ao Hong, upon hearing this, couldn't help but shake his head. "Let's forget it! I have no desire to hand over my True Spirit and have my life and death controlled by others!"

Ji Meng paused upon hearing this.

When he had first joined the Demon Clan, he had indeed been heavily relied upon. However, after Di Jun refined the "Monster Summoning Banner," Ji Meng couldn't help but harbor some resentment towards him.

Among the Ten Great Demon Sages, he and Gui Che, one from the Dragon Clan and the other from the Phoenix Clan, were far less trusted by Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi compared to the other eight.

It was a pity that his True Spirit was on the "Monster Summoning Banner," and it was too late for him to regret it!

"Very well!"

"Since the two of you are unwilling to join the Demon Clan, you can stay here in Zhang Yuan for the time being!"

"This is my territory, and with the protection of the Demon Clan, I doubt those old fellows like Candle Dragon would dare to come here and cause trouble for the two of you!"

After some thought, Ji Meng decided to conceal their whereabouts. If, one day, the Demon Clan's ambitions were thwarted, he could still gain the assistance of these two Quasi-Saints.
