Chapter 166 The Dragon Clan's Countermeasures
Just as the oath of Zhen Yuanzi, Yin Yang, and Hong Yun resounded throughout the primordial world under the great power of the Heavenly Dao, drawing down the merits of Xuanhuang from the heavens.
This invisible ripple, containing the will of a Primordial Golden Immortal and the approval of the Heavenly Dao, was precisely transmitted to every corner of the prehistoric world, stirring up towering waves in the hearts of all beings whose cultivation had reached a certain level.
The Dragon Palace of the East Sea lies beneath an abyss ten thousand feet deep.
It wasn't pitch black here; on the contrary, it was magnificent and dazzling, like a dream.
The enormous palace complex, constructed from various deep-sea treasures, stretches out in undulating waves, radiating a soft yet majestic light.
Luminous pearls, like stars, adorn the dome, illuminating the crystal palace inside and out.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolling the sea are dressed in spirit armor, wield sharp blades, and are strictly disciplined;
Various dragons and sea beasts transformed into Daoist beings or their original forms, traversing between coral jungles and roads paved with pearls and agates, presenting a scene of prosperity, flourishing, and orderly prosperity.
At this moment, in the "Hanhai Hall," the core of the Dragon Palace, the Ancestral Dragon sits atop a throne carved from a single piece of "Xuanhai Condensed Crystal."
The dragon throne is entirely azure blue, with what appears to be a vast, surging sea within, radiating an immense and boundless aura of imperial water spirit.
The First Emperor had a human body and a dragon head, wearing a twelve-tassel crown and a black imperial robe with dragon patterns. His face was majestic, and his dragon eyes, when they opened and closed, exuded an aura of dominance over the four seas and the rule of all waters.
The aura of a late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal emanating from him was like an invisible ocean, deep and vast, enveloping the entire hall in a solemn atmosphere.
To the left of the lower seat sat an elderly man with a slightly thin build but incredibly deep and wise eyes. He was none other than Zhulong, the second most important figure in the Dragon Clan, who was in charge of the Dragon Clan's laws and some military affairs, and who also possessed the cultivation of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
His aura was restrained, unlike the domineering and overt aura of the First Emperor, but it was more profound and unfathomable, as if he could see some of the mysteries of the river of time.
The two were discussing recent frictions with the Phoenix Clan at the border of the eastern and southern seas, and how to further suppress the influence of the Qilin Clan in the coastal areas.
"—The Phoenix Clan has become increasingly arrogant lately, with its patrols repeatedly crossing established boundaries, clearly demonstrating its provocative intent. Although the Qilin Clan appears benevolent on the surface, it is secretly supporting some amphibious species to nibble away at our coastal resources."
Zhulong's voice was calm, yet tinged with coldness, "Your Majesty, should we respond more forcefully? Perhaps this would embolden the Yazi tribe to intensify their extermination efforts."
Zu Long tapped the armrest of the dragon throne lightly with his fingertips, producing a deep, thunderous sound. Just as he was about to speak, the two of them suddenly stiffened at the same time, looked up sharply, their gazes seemingly piercing through layers of palaces and endless seas, looking towards the direction of the primordial continent.
That magnificent and solemn oath, containing the Daoist charm and Heavenly Dao power of the three Primordial Golden Immortals, was like a great bell, disregarding spatial barriers and clearly entering their minds!
"I, the Yin-Yang Daoist (Zhen Yuanzi/Hongyun), here today, form an alliance! — May Heaven bear witness!"
Following closely behind, they even "saw" the magnificent and incomparably pure Xuanhuang merit descending from the sky above Longevity Mountain through a mysterious sense of energy!
A deathly silence fell over the hall. Only the silent roar of the deep sea currents outside the Dragon Palace could be heard.
After a long silence, Zhulong was the first to withdraw his gaze, a hint of solemnity flashing in his deep eyes. He looked at Zulong and slowly said, "Your Majesty, Zhenyuanzi—has actually formed an alliance with the Yin-Yang Daoist. And Hongyun too. Heaven bears witness, and merits are bestowed. From this day forward, the primordial world has gained another pole."
His tone was clearly apprehensive. Zhen Yuanzi's strength was unfathomable, as evidenced by his ability to kill Qiankun Daoren, and his foundation at Wanshou Mountain was as solid as a rock.
Now, in addition to this, there is an equally ancient Yin-Yang Taoist who is proficient in the way of Yin-Yang balance, and a powerful Old Ancestor named Hongyun.
The alliance of these three Primordial Golden Immortals has surpassed the strength, potential, and influence of ordinary powerful sects, and is enough to impact the existing balance of power.
The majesty on the First Emperor's face intensified, his dragon eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a dragon's roar echoed around him, revealing his inner turmoil.
He was silent for a moment, then the rhythm of his tapping on the armrest became faster and heavier. Finally, he let out a cold snort, his voice like a submerged volcano brewing: "Hmph! Zhen Yuanzi—I knew long ago that this boy was no ordinary person! When we discussed the Dao back then, I sensed his unwavering resolve and profound knowledge; he was not one to be content with solitude. Indeed!"
First, they quietly took Hongyun, and now they've even won over that old fox, Yin Yang! Quite the methods, quite the charm!
His words carried a hint of displeasure at being overtaken by newcomers, as well as wariness of their rapid development.
After all, the dragon race has dominated the prehistoric world for a long time and is used to looking down on all living beings. Now that a powerful alliance that is not a race but is composed of top experts has suddenly appeared, they naturally feel threatened.
Zhulong nodded slightly and added, "The Yin-Yang Daoist is the descendant of the Chaos Demon God, wielding the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. He is most adept at assessing situations and situations, and his companion spiritual treasures, the Taiji Diagram and the Yin-Yang Sword, are not ordinary objects."
His willingness to ally with Zhen Yuanzi demonstrates that he believes Zhen Yuanzi has the right and strength to engage in equal dialogue with him, and even to protect and help him escape future calamities. This alliance is no trivial matter.
The First Emperor naturally understood this principle. He slowly rose from his dragon throne, his tall figure casting a huge shadow in the hall, and his majestic dragon might seemed to freeze the seawater outside the hall for a moment.
He strolled to a huge "water mirror" in the hall, in which the phantom of the primordial mountains and rivers was reflected. His gaze was sharp as a knife, as if he were measuring the weight of this newly formed alliance.
"With this alliance formed, Wanshou Mountain's prestige will soar, and it is indeed not to be underestimated." Zulong finally spoke, his tone regaining the composure and decisiveness befitting a dragon emperor.
"Under normal circumstances, I might personally go to offer my congratulations," to ascertain their true intentions, and even consider forging an alliance with them to plot against the Phoenix or Qilin clans. But—"
He abruptly changed the subject, his dragon eyes blazing with even more intense ambition and killing intent: "Now, the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan are the greatest threats to my Dragon Clan's dominance of the primordial world, our unification of land, sea, and air, and our gathering of supreme fortune to prove our ultimate primordial power!"
He pointed to the illusory images of the Southern Undying Volcano and the Central Qilin Cliff in the water mirror and said, "That old woman Yuan Feng is arrogant and conceited. Her Nirvana Fire is quite effective against my aquatic race."
The Primordial Qilin appears benevolent, but in reality, it harbors treacherous intentions. Its influence across the land is deeply entrenched. Without eliminating these two clans, our Dragon Clan will never have peace, let alone attain the supreme Dao!
He turned around, his gaze fixed intently on Zhulong, and made a decision: "Pass down the order: all Dragon Clan tribes, keep the strategic focus unchanged, and continue to intensify the oppression and extermination of the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan! For the time being—there is no need to provoke Wanshou Mountain."
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhulong bowed. "The alliance between Zhen Yuanzi and others may not primarily target our Dragon Clan. Perhaps it is more about self-preservation, dealing with Luo, Hongjun and their ilk, and even the future changes in the Heavenly Dao."
As long as we don't actively antagonize them, they may not easily intervene in the conflict between our three races.
We can wait and see how things develop. Once we've dealt with the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan, and consolidated the power of the primordial world, then we can discuss other matters.
.
His words trailed off with a chilling killing intent, clearly indicating that he also considered the Wanshoushan Alliance a potential future adversary.
The First Emperor nodded, sat back on his throne, and his majestic voice echoed throughout the hall: "It is decided then! First, Pingfeng..."
"Qi, let's plan something else! This primordial world will ultimately belong to my dragon race!"
The command was swiftly transmitted through divine thought, and the entire Dragon Palace machine began to operate more efficiently, its target pointing directly to the southern sky and the central earth.
However, deep in the hearts of the Dragon Clan's high-ranking members, the name "Wanshou Mountain Alliance" has already been marked as an entity that requires long-term attention and vigilance.
