The Adorably Clueless Little Yellow Dragon, the Primordial Spirit Pearl
Other dragons might not know that Wu Chu had become an apprentice of a senior master, but how could Torch Dragon not know!
Although Torch Dragon probably thought that Wu Chu wouldn't easily help the Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan scheme against their Dragon Clan out of consideration for him, the Dragon Clan couldn't just remain completely silent! They still had to make some gestures to avoid the other two clans noticing anything fishy.
Sure enough, Wu Zhan nodded, then sat down cross-legged and said, "What seriously injured me was a giant eagle, probably already halfway into the Daluo realm! Although I came along that Great River, I was still injured by it while trying to protect it."
Wu Zhan spoke, he glanced at the somewhat adorable little golden dragon beside him.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chu frowned slightly, doubting whether the giant eagle was truly a powerful member of the Phoenix Clan. Although the Phoenix Clan ruled over all Bird Clan, they were currently locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Phoenix Clan Qilin Clan; how could they possibly be so foolish as to provoke the Dragon Clan?
Aren't they afraid that the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan will join forces and defeat the Phoenix Clan first?
So Wu Chu brought up the old topic again, asking, "The Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan are fighting to the death, and your Dragon Clan has gotten involved too?"
Wu Zhan nodded and said, "Although I initially wanted to stay out of it, Dragon Clan don't always go as planned. On that Great River in the south, the Dragon Clan suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Phoenix Clan. The Water Lord of that Great River was besieged by the Phoenix Clan and then ambushed, nearly losing his life..."
"..."
Wu Chu was completely dumbfounded. Why would the Phoenix Clan do this?
Many things, from the perspective of an outsider, seem utterly absurd.
Just like how the Phoenix Clan is now dragging the Dragon Clan into the battlefield, knowing full well that the West Demon Lord cultivates the Killing Path, the more brutally they fight and the more fiercely they kill, the happier that Old Demon becomes.
Yet these Three Primordial Clans still did it, as if they had lost their minds.
In Wu Chu's view, the Phoenix Clan was utterly foolish. But then he thought that Feng Li and Qingluan didn't seem like fools either, so he believed that the Phoenix Clan's leader certainly wasn't an idiot either.
Yibao silently analyzed the situation and said in Wu Chu's Consciousness Sea, "I suppose the Phoenix Clan doesn't want to see the Dragon Clan benefit from a mutually destructive outcome! Rather than that, it's better to drag the Dragon Clan into it as well."
"But isn't the Phoenix Clan afraid of the Qilin Clan and the Dragon Clan forming an alliance?" Wu Chu asked silently.
Yibao added, "Just as you said before, the conflict between the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan is much smaller than the conflict between the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan. The benefits the Dragon Clan would gain from an alliance with the Qilin Clan are obviously not as great as imagined, are they? If we look at it from the perspective of interests, the Phoenix Clan is actually the most reliable one to do this."
"Sigh! Forget it, let's ignore them, it has nothing to do with us anyway!" Wu Chu said quietly, "Even if that Demon Lord eventually gains power and his cultivation increases dramatically, and he comes back to cause trouble for us, I still have my master's clone here to keep things under control!"
Wu Chu knew that he couldn't get involved in such a major event.
But he still felt somewhat frustrated. He had thought that since he had so clearly reminded the Three Clans would at least pay some attention and suppress the Demon Lord.
The more the Demon Lord is suppressed, the safer he becomes.
But who would have thought that the Three Clans would be so arrogant and conceited, as if they had collectively lost their minds!
Wu Chu glanced at Wu Zhan, then looked at the little golden dragon, and asked, "Who is this child? Why are you here with him? Could he really be your illegitimate child with some dragon maiden?"
Wu Zhan's face was dark... though his face was already quite dark. "He is the son of the Water Lord of the other Great River. Senior, you can just call him Huanglong..."
Huanglong?!
Could he be that penniless Huanglong Zhenren from the future Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods era?
Those who uphold the greatest loyalty will suffer the most severe beatings.
Despite being one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, he possessed very few Spirit Treasure. Any third-generation cultivator with a good Spirit Treasure could easily defeat him. Alas! He was probably the least prestigious of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
Wu Chu looked at this person who was clearly not as outgoing as the legends described... "Maybe it's because he's still a little dragon!" he thought to himself.
But upon further reflection, Wu Chu felt it was unlikely to be that Huanglong Zhenren. After all, there were still one or two Kalpa between now and the time of the Investiture of the Gods! No matter how stupid Huanglong was, he couldn't possibly have been unable to reach the Daluo realm for so long!
Although there are countless powerful beings at the Daluo realm in this era, considering the vast number of living beings inhabiting this Primordial Land, the emergence of so many powerful beings is not surprising. However, the Daluo realm is not something that can be entered at will.
But Huanglong Zhenren is, after all, Dragon Clan, and Dragon Clan have their own cultivation methods. Could it be that he, with the Dragon Clan's body and practicing the Dragon Clan's cultivation methods, is still unable to reach the Daluo Realm?
Unless... could it be that this incident caused some mishap for Huanglong, preventing him from receiving the Dragon Clan's full support? Is that why he's become so weak?
Wu Chu was somewhat confused. It was hard for him to regard the Little Yellow Dragon in front of him as the future Golden Immortal Huanglong Zhenren, who had no treasures, no disciples, no cultivation, and no battle record.
Wu Zhan paused, then switched to telepathy, continuing, "Bringing him along was actually Senior Torch Dragon's idea. Senior Torch Dragon said that the Water Lord is severely injured, and the position of Water Lord will definitely have to be changed. His mother also tragically died in that great battle, protecting him. He was knocked unconscious at the time and was unaware of what was happening... Senior Torch Dragon wanted to put the Water Lord at ease, and as a way of making amends, he arranged for his son to come to you, hoping you would take him as your disciple and protect him until he grows up!"
As he spoke, he took out a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure from his robes and handed it over, saying, "This Primordial Spirit Pearl Torch Dragon as a gift for his apprenticeship."
Seeing Wu Zhan and Wu Chu exchanging voices, Feng Hen, who was standing nearby, did not dare to eavesdrop. However, when he saw Wu Zhan suddenly take out a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He thought to himself, "This guy, could he be planning to use Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure to ask Senior A Chu for advice on their Dragon Clan's strategy? Good heavens, what a treacherous mudfish!"
Wu Chu silently gazed at the Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Primordial Spirit Pearl. With a slight probe of Primordial Spirit primordial spirit, he could sense the earth, wind, water, and fire attributes contained within the pearl, and even a wisp of the aura of the Laws of the Dao of Qiankun, indicating that there was more to it than Qiankun.
Looking at the precious pearl, Wu Chu felt conflicted. It was clearly a Spirit Treasure containing the Qiankun Laws, and because of these Qiankun Laws, it contained its own world.
Although this world is only in its nascent form, as long as it is refined and his cultivation of the Great Dao becomes more and more perfect, this pearl may continue to grow in the future.
If one wishes to elevate Purple Jade Mountain to Grotto-Heaven level, this pearl might be of great help.
