Because of the urgency, after dealing with the Underworld, Wang Hao and Emperor Dayu split up. Emperor Dayu took the River Diagram and Luo Book to find ordinary Primordial World powers, while Wang Hao went to find the tough and ruthless ones.
For example, the Candle Dragon from the Dragon Clan!
"I've heard that Fellow Candle Dragon is known for his public-spiritedness and righteousness, which is why I've come to pay him a visit. I'm sure you won't disappoint me."
Wang Hao clearly stated his purpose in one go, and shook the Heavenly Dao God Statue in his hand, making the originally furious Candle Dragon feel as if it had been doused with a mixture of ice water, giving it a thorough chill and a sense of exhilaration.
"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, I will certainly not let you down!"
Clenching his teeth, Candle Dragon said, enunciating each word clearly, his heart filled with a burning desire to slap this bastard to death.
After only glancing at the Heavenly Dao statue held in Wang Hao's arms, and the mysterious blue light and Divine Charm shimmering on it, Candle Dragon finally yielded.
There was nothing he could do; he really didn't dare offend this big shot!
"Fellow Daoist, Saint Zhunti will send someone to deliver the Green Lotus Treasure Banner later. Please give it to the Holy Venerable Azure Dragon as soon as possible to perfect the foundation of the Dao in the East."
After giving a brief instruction, Wang Hao left the East Sea, satisfied.
"You scoundrel, you've gone too far in bullying the dragon!"
The instant Wang Hao left, Candle Dragon couldn't help but roar to the sky, its roar filled with extreme rage.
This time they really suffered a huge loss. The Dragon Clan is responsible for setting up the array base for the entire Four Seas. Even though the Dragon Clan has a deep foundation and has amassed countless rare and precious materials over the years, this will still severely damage their strength. In the end, they don't know how much of their resources will be left, or even if they will have anything left at all. It might not even be enough!
That supreme formation was truly too profound!
" Innate treasures have their own missions. Now that we have obtained those treasures, the Cause and Effect will naturally fall upon our Dragon Clan. It is time to repay our debts!"
A young man suddenly appeared beside Candle Dragon; this man was none other than the Holy Venerable Azure Dragon that Wang Hao had mentioned earlier.
At the beginning of time, four sacred beasts were born: the Azure Dragon Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu White Tiger, and the Auspicious Beast Qilin, each representing one of the Great Dao of the Five Elements.
The five respectively suppress the four poles of heaven and earth and the Central Land. At the same time, the Azure Dragon is also the progenitor of the Dragon Clan, born at the same time as the Ancestral Dragon and the Candle Dragon.
"That makes sense, but I'm not willing to be schemed against and forced by a junior like this!"
Candle Dragon was still furious. Did he, one of the three progenitors of the dragon Dragon Clan, have no dignity?
Moreover, the price to be paid this time is far too high; it might even require the lives of some of our clansmen to pay the price.
"You'd better give up those foolish ideas. That kid carries a heavy Cause and Effect; it's best not to provoke him. And today, great changes are about to happen; do your best to restrain the clan's members from getting involved in trouble and accumulating Cause and Effect."
Staring coldly at the Candle Dragon, the Holy Venerable Azure Dragon spoke a warning in Youyou voice. At the end, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through countless spaces to see the ancient palace hidden in the Chaos Void.
"Even you can't suppress Him?"
With a sigh, the Holy Venerable Azure Dragon felt a sense of worry.
He knew many secrets of the world, and even some of the inside stories of why the Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Dao.
This unexpected change was clearly orchestrated by the Heavenly Dao. Could it be that something went wrong in the cooperation between the Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became. The Holy Venerable Azure Dragon quickly shook his head to extinguish these thoughts, then turned his gaze to the west, his eyes piercing through countless spaces, landing on the two figures on the Western Spirit Mountain.
The Saint Zhunti and the Saint Jieyin, who were stationed at the Western Spirit Mountain, were quite unpleasant. They had been paying close attention to Wang Hao's actions and had clearly heard his earlier conversation with Candle Dragon.
That bastard brat made them give up a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure just by talking! It's outrageous!
Noticing the gaze cast by the Holy Venerable Azure Dragon Saint Zhunti, with a gloomy face, flung out a small blue flag, which was the Green Lotus Treasure Banner among the Five Directional Banners.
The Green Lotus Treasure Banner, officially named the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure Banner, was originally a supreme treasure used to suppress the Primordial World East. Unfortunately, due to human intervention, this treasure was refined and taken away as soon as it was created, preventing it from fulfilling its mission.
When Dao Ancestor Hongjun handed over the Green Lotus Treasure Banner, which suppressed the Eastern Primordial World, to Saint Zhunti of the West, he clearly had ulterior motives and harbored a grand scheme.
Named after the five directions, the Five Directional Banners are treasures that suppress the five major regions of the Primordial World: east, west, south, north, and center. They can even be used to set up the Innate Five Directions Grand Formation. Within the Innate Five Directions Grand Formation, each of the Five Directional Banners will temporarily be upgraded in grade, becoming an existence comparable to Innate Supreme Treasure.
What Wang Hao needs to do now is to return the Innate Five Directions Banners to their proper places and then set up the Innate Five Directions Grand Formation, which is also part of the Primordial Wilderness Grand Formation and a major foundation.
On the other side, Wang Hao quickly arrived at his next stop— the Southern Endless Fire Domain.
This is the southernmost point of the Primordial Continent, covered with countless volcanic mountains, and also a forbidden place in the Primordial World.
Fortunately, the Phoenix Clan, who lived during the Dragon-Han Tribulation, had suppressed this place for generations, preventing this forbidden land from erupting and causing havoc on the Primordial World.
The Dao De Tianzun, who was refining elixirs in the Eight Sceneries Palace, sighed when he saw Wang Hao step into the Infinite Fire Domain in the south, and reluctantly tossed a small, fiery red flag into the Void.
This is the Southern Off-Ground Flame Light Flag among the Five Directional Banners, which also represents the element of fire.
Although he possessed many treasures, he had very few Innate innate spiritual treasures, which could be counted on one hand. The Southern Off-Ground Flame Light Flag was an exceptional example among them.
Now, having to give up this treasure is painful even for him, given his current state of mind, but it also feels like a huge loss.
This matter involves the workings of Heaven, and as a subordinate, he has no right to interfere or even refuse.
When the Dao De Tianzun unleashed the Southern Off-Ground Flame Light Flag, the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning of Primordial Beginning, who was preaching to his disciples in the Jade Void Palace, turned pale, realizing that his Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner was also in danger.
Although he was skilled in crafting artifacts, Innate Spiritual Treasure were too mysterious. While he could refine acquired spiritual treasures comparable to Innate Spiritual Treasure Acquired Spirit Treasure, such as the Heaven-Overturning Seal in the hands of his eldest disciple Guangchengzi, he could not refine them with Innate Daoist essence.
Without Innate Daoist essence, it cannot be used for severing corpses. He originally intended to leave the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, to one of his disciples who would first achieve Quasi-Saint, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.
With the support of the Heavenly Dao, Wang Hao's plan proceeded very smoothly. He first won over the Phoenix Clan, allowing them to take charge of the array setup in the southern part of the Primordial World. He then used the Phoenix Clan as a springboard to make contact with the Holy Venerable Vermilion Bird and handed over the Southern Off-Ground Flame Light Flag to him.
The Great Sage and the Auspicious Beast Qilin are inherently tasked with suppressing the four poles of heaven and earth and the Central Land. The Five Directional Banners are naturally meant to be controlled by them, and only in their hands can they unleash their greatest power.
Wang Hao then returned to Northern Darkness and contacted the Xuanwu Clan and Holy Venerable Xuanwu, who were living in seclusion deep in the North Sea. The two sides held friendly talks and Wang Hao ultimately entrusted the arrangement of the array base in the northern part of the Primordial World to Holy Venerable Xuanwu and his Xuanwu Clan, while the powerful beings in the Northern Region of the Primordial World would provide assistance.
Then, the Auspicious Beast Holy Venerable Qilin, who resides beneath Buzhou Mountain, handed over the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner to the other party, stating that during the formation's setup, the great karmic Cause and Effect borne by the Qilin Clan due to the Dragon-Han Tribulation could be temporarily eliminated, allowing them to emerge into the world. He also promised that after the formation was completed, the great karmic Cause and Effect borne by the Qilin Clan would be reduced accordingly based on their contributions, and that if the Qilin Clan performed well enough, they could even gain merit.
Although the Qilin Clan was heartbroken at the prospect of losing countless treasures and resources, the allure of eliminating Cause and Effect and accumulating merit, coupled with the intimidation of the Heavenly Dao statue, ultimately led them to grit their teeth and agree.
Finally, Wang Hao arrived in the western part of the Primordial World, but to his surprise, the White Tiger Clan had been wiped out as early as the Dragon-Han Tribulation, with only one Holy Venerable White Tiger remaining. This was quite tragic.
Indeed, the White Tiger Clan originated in the western part of the Primordial World, and during the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the Demon Ancestor Luohu's Demon Cult was located there. In the end, the main battlefield of the Dao-Demon War was also placed in the western part of the Primordial World.
The most heinous act was that after the Demon Ancestor Luohu was defeated and killed, he detonated the ancestral veins of the western Primordial World, causing widespread devastation and the extinction of the White Tiger Clan.
"Your Majesty, your fate is rather tragic!"
Wang Hao stared speechlessly at the Holy Venerable White Tiger that had appeared before him, a hint of sympathy flickering in his eyes.
This is truly a lonely figure!
"It's not impossible for me to do things for you, but I have one condition!"
The Holy Venerable White Tiger is clearly a straightforward person, stating upfront that he has conditions.
"You want me to find a way to revive the White Tiger Clan?"
Wang Hao had long guessed what the Holy Venerable White Tiger was thinking. After all, among the Great Sage, this guy was the most miserable, completely alone, without even any offerings. He would probably feel extremely awkward when the Great Sage interacted.
The Holy Venerable White Tiger did not respond, but simply stared at Wang Hao, clearly acquiescing.
"This isn't a big problem. I can clone the White Tiger clan based on your bloodline. However, you, Holy Venerable, need to personally go to Wa Huang Heaven and ask my Holy Empress Nuwa of the Holy Mother of the Human Race to intervene, using the Great Dao of Creation in conjunction with the Qiankun Cauldron to help the White Tiger Clan reverse their Innate."
After thinking it over, Wang Hao felt that this matter was really not a big problem. At the same time, it would also allow the Holy Venerable White Tiger to owe a favor to Empress Nuwa. He thought that Nuwa would not refuse a favor from a Saint Venerable.
It should be known that the Great Sage and the Auspicious Beast Qilin all possess a status comparable to that of Sage, and are tasked with suppressing the Primordial World. Their status and strength are in no way inferior to that of Sage.
If the Holy Venerable White Tiger could incur a favor, it would be a significant opportunity for both Nuwa herself and the demon race under her command.
"I would be grateful if you could lend a hand, fellow Daoist!"
Without hesitation, the Holy Venerable White Tiger decisively separated a large mass of essence blood and handed it to Wang Hao. At the same time, he accepted the Western Plain Colored Cloud Realm Banner projected from the Void, which was sent down by the Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court.
Even Sage wouldn't dare to obstruct Wang Hao's plan in this regard, so the Jade Emperor Haotian and the Queen Mother Yaochi certainly wouldn't dare either.
Similarly, Wang Hao was not one to waste words. After receiving the essence blood of the Holy Venerable White Tiger, he tore through space and temporarily returned to the Wilderness, preparing to use the essence blood of the Holy Venerable White Tiger to clone and cultivate the embryos of the White Tiger Clan.
Reviving an entire clan is no easy feat, let alone a Innate Heaven and Earth Divine Beast like the White Tiger Clan.
Without revealing his true spiritual cultivation level, Wang Hao can currently only replicate the embryos of the Acquired race, which is why he suggested that the Holy Venerable White Tiger ask Nuwa for help.
After all, Nuwa created the Human Clan, the protagonists of heaven and earth, and her Great Dao of Creation was unparalleled in the Primordial World. Not to mention that she obtained the Innate Supreme Treasure Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure, during the process of Mending the Heavens, and possessed the ability to reverse Innate.
The Great Dao of Creation, combined with the Qiankun Cauldron to transform the White Tiger Clan embryo he cloned into a Innate divine beast, which will be no less powerful than the original White Tiger Clan.
