Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 155 The Ancestral Treasury
I heard what Ma Yuan said.

The ancient and vast will of the Candle Dragon fell into a long silence at this moment.

He gazed silently at the Taoist priest in the blue robe before him.

He naturally knew that what Ma Yuan said was true.

The weight of those four words, "the shackles of Heaven," had already made the entire dragon race feel suffocated.

That is not ordinary cause and effect, but the most stringent law and order originating from the primordial Heavenly Dao!

Its roots are so deep that it has long been like a deadly poison, seeping into the very depths of the true spirit and bloodline of every dragon descendant.

How easy is it to completely isolate and separate it?
"What you say is absolutely right, young friend."

After a long while, Zhulong's voice, filled with endless vicissitudes, slowly resounded in the deathly silent sea eye purgatory.

"This matter certainly needs to be tried."

His voice was free of any hesitation, only the decisiveness that had been refined over countless eons!
Upon hearing this, Ma Yuan nodded to himself.

Without uttering another word, he immediately sat cross-legged before the surging, incessant black flames.

With a thought, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which had long been intertwined with his life, quietly began to operate!
"open!"

A simple word was uttered softly from Ma Yuan's mouth.

Buzz—! ! ! !

In an instant, a dazzling portal, entirely woven from azure water elemental Daoist energy, slowly opened in front of Ma Yuan without warning in the deepest part of this sea eye purgatory!

The gate is over ten thousand feet high, with water flowing over it.

Behind the door, a vast and boundless new world can be faintly seen.

Its sky is high and its earth is thick and heavy, with endless rivers, lakes and seas flowing endlessly, filled with the purest innate water elemental energy!

Yet beneath this boundless vitality lies an indescribable emptiness and desolation.

"The Qian Yuan Heaven has been opened, but its internal Five Elements are incomplete and its laws are still lacking."

Ma Yuan slowly began to explain.

"Whether this realm can truly isolate itself from the primordial Heavenly Dao, I have no absolute certainty. Entering this realm this time, the outcome is uncertain."

He made no attempt to conceal anything, laying bare all the dangers of the journey before the dragon ancestor.

The vast will of the Candle Dragon was now completely concentrated on that world gate.

He could clearly sense that the world there was still a newborn.

However, the laws and order contained within it are completely different from those of this primordial world.

That is a new path that is freer, yet also more primitive!
He knew that this was the only hope for the dragon race to escape their fate and find a new life!
A long silence fell over the depths of purgatory.

After a long while, Zhulong's ancient voice, filled with endless vicissitudes, slowly rang out again.

"It doesn't matter."

"Since the Great Calamity of the Dragon-Han Era, my Dragon Clan has been mired in endless despair for countless eons."

Now that we have this faint glimmer of hope ahead, even if it's a bottomless abyss, we should still leap forward with all our might!

He was even more decisive than Ma Yuan had imagined!

He knew that this migration was a huge gamble for the dragon race!

If you lose the gamble, you'll only continue your current fate of barely surviving, slowly decaying under the shackles of fate.

But what if you win the bet...

That is the entire clan, completely breaking free from the cage on this predetermined chessboard of Heaven's Way, and being reborn!

“Ao Guang”.

The ancient will of Zhulong descended directly upon the primordial spirit of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, who was already standing respectfully to the side.

"By my decree, I summon three thousand dragon cultivators from the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas, whose cultivation has been stuck at a bottleneck for countless years, yet whose Dao hearts remain as firm as a rock, to come here!"

"Yes, ancestor!"

Ao Guang's majestic dragon body trembled violently, and his eyes were instantly filled with excitement!
He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately transformed into a golden streak of light, leaving this forbidden area of ​​the sea eye in an instant.

In just a few days.

Three thousand powerful figures, their auras as deep as the sea, silently gathered outside the eye of the East Sea under the personal leadership of Yu Ao Guang.

They are all pillars of the dragon race.

The leader was an old dragon with a hunched back and white hair and beard, yet its dragon might remained vast and powerful.

His name is Ao Bai.

He was a top expert of the same generation as Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea!
Ao Bai's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm several eons ago.

It's only a hair's breadth away from the Taiyi Dao Fruit of the Five Qi Converging to the Origin!
Yet this mere line of separation was like an eternal chasm, imprisoning him for countless millennia under the relentless suppression of the shackles of heaven!
His once radiant and lofty Dao heart was gradually covered with a thick layer of dust amidst this endless wear and tear.

At this moment, he stood quietly at the forefront of the three thousand dragon cultivators.

Ma Yuan's calm and composed gaze also fell on Ao Bai at this moment, and he nodded slightly to show his respect.

He could clearly sense that the old dragon in front of him possessed a powerful force capable of shaking mountains.

Its Dao fruit has long been polished to perfection, and its foundation is so profound that it is beyond comprehension.

If it weren't for the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, he would probably have already achieved perfect success and attained the immortal Taiyi Dao Fruit.

The old dragon Ao Bai also noticed Ma Yuan's presence, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his turbid eyes.

He took a deep breath, no longer hesitating in the slightest.

He turned to face the deepest part of the sea eye purgatory and solemnly performed a deep bow!
"Ancestors, fellow clansmen, Ao Bai is going not for immortality, but only to seek a future for our Dragon Clan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around again and faced the Taoist in green robes who stood quietly before the Gate of the World.

"Master Ma Yuan, I will never forget this great kindness!"

He bowed deeply once again, his humility showing that he had long since abandoned all the pride of being a dragon elder.

Then, he resolutely took the first step. Under the reverent gaze of the three thousand dragon cultivators, he stepped into that otherworld without hesitation.

Within the Qian Yuan Heaven, Ao Bai felt a lightness throughout his body.

An unprecedented feeling of comfort arose spontaneously from the deepest part of his true spirit, which had been dormant for countless eons!

They are like birds that have broken free from their cages, or fish that have leaped out of the shallows!

His entire being was immersed in an indescribable sense of exhilaration at that moment!

next moment!
"Snap—!!!!!"

A crisp and melodious cracking sound suddenly erupted from the deepest part of his bloodline origin and true spirit without warning!

The primordial shackles of the Heavenly Dao that had troubled him for countless eons and clouded his Dao heart shattered completely at this moment!
An endless stream of grievances, resentment, pain, and even despair, which had been suppressed for countless millennia, erupted like a torrent and surged into his heart!

"Roar--!!!!!"

Ao Bai looked up to the sky and let out a dragon's roar that pierced through the clouds, filled with endless sorrow and joy!
Its mournful cry caused the entire newly born Qian Yuan Heaven to grieve as well!

Its joyful sound made the endless, surging waters cheer and boil!
Amidst that dragon's roar, the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, which had been suppressed to the extreme and polished to perfection, was now completely unrestrained!

boom--! ! ! !

A powerful aura, far surpassing that of a Golden Immortal, erupted from his aged dragon body.

That cultivation level, which had stagnated for countless eons, began to change at this moment, and naturally surged towards the Taiyi realm!

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao Laws of the newly born Qian Yuan Heaven seemed to sense the first true Dao-prover in this world and bestowed upon him the most primal celebration!

"Boom—!!!!!"

The once calm and boundless ocean suddenly began to boil violently without warning!
Countless strands of the purest innate Gui water essence rose from the depths of the world's origin!

It transformed into a dazzling pillar of water elemental light that pierced through the heavens and earth, pouring entirely into Ao Bai's ancient yet majestic dragon body!
Under the cleansing of this seemingly endless primordial essence, Ao Bai's Dao foundation, which had been dried up for countless eons, was once again revitalized with boundless vitality!

Its originally somewhat weak and unstable Taiyi aura is now rising steadily, with a terrifying and devastating force.

It was completely stabilized in the blink of an eye!

Step into the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal!
That vast and boundless power of the Taiyi Dao even pierced through the gate of that world and erupted with a roar in the dead silence of the East Sea eye!
"This...this is..."

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, trembled violently upon sensing this immense power!
Those eyes were filled with unbelievable shock!
He naturally understood that the source of this power was none other than Ao Bai, the first dragon elder to step into that world!
However, the power of this Dao is now hundreds or thousands of times stronger than before!
That was the Golden Immortal shackle that had plagued him for countless eons, preventing him from making any further progress.

In just a short moment, it was completely broken through!
miracle!

This is absolutely a supreme miracle worthy of being recorded in the annals of the dragon race!
After witnessing this scene firsthand, the last trace of doubt in the hearts of the three thousand elite dragons outside was completely shattered!

Instead, an overwhelming sense of ecstasy arose!

"Hahaha! The shackles of Heaven's Dao have been broken! My Dragon Clan... shall rise!"

"Our predecessors have paved a great path for us! How can we fall behind them!"

After a brief moment of shock, someone was the first to let out an excited roar!

In an instant, the entire Sea Eye Purgatory was completely agitated!

Those three thousand elite dragons, who had been suppressed by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao for countless millennia, no longer hesitated at this moment!
One after another, majestic dragon bodies with imposing auras surged into the Qian Yuan Heaven like a swarm of locusts crossing a river!
Every dragon cultivator who stepped into Qian Yuan Tian felt it clearly at the very first moment.

The invisible shackles that had bound them for countless years in the deepest part of their bloodline and true spirit shattered at this moment!

Although not everyone can be like Ao Bai, who made great progress in his cultivation on the spot and stepped into the Taiyi realm in one step.

However, the feeling of relief that the once dark and hopeless road ahead has now become bright again is universal!

"Waaaah... I've been stuck at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm for over 30,000 years, but today... today I've finally experienced the feeling of my magical power growing again..."

"The road ahead continues! The road ahead continues!"

Countless dragon cultivators, whose hearts were already as firm as a rock, were now as excited as children, their eyes filled with tears. They cried out loud on the vast earth, venting the grievances and resentments that had been suppressed for countless millennia!
And in the deepest part of that sea-eye purgatory.

The Candle Dragon, whose body had long since become a prison, witnessed with his vast and ancient will the shackles of the Primordial Heavenly Dao that had troubled the Dragon Clan for countless eons being shattered one by one in that new world.

When he saw those three thousand descendants of the dragon race reborn in that new world, once again possessing the qualification to pursue the Great Dao.

The enormous, majestic dragon head, which had long been integrated with the entire sea eye, slowly raised itself at this moment.

Without warning, a single, crystal-clear, dazzling tear slowly slid down from those dragon eyes that seemed to hold the very essence of the sun and moon's rise and fall.

These tears are neither of sorrow nor of joy.

The emotions contained within it are extremely complex!

After being trapped in a cage for countless eons, they finally attained liberation.

There was an endless gratitude from the depths of their true spirit towards Ma Yuan, the Dao Lord who brought new life to the Dragon Clan.

That rekindled a powerful hope for the future of the dragon race.

There was also the endless guilt of being powerless to reverse the situation and only being able to watch helplessly as the race slowly succumbed to the shackles of fate.

That tear, containing the emotions of an ancestor of the dragon race spanning countless eons, slowly dripped from the corner of his ancient eye.

Instead of falling into the Dragon's Lament Fire that could burn all living beings, it transformed into a dazzling stream of light halfway through its journey!
In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Ma Yuan, who had been quietly watching from the side, and hovered silently.

Ma Yuan calmly gazed at the seemingly ordinary drop of water before him, which appeared to contain within it the tear of the progenitor of a complete world's cycle of birth and death.

Even with his current Dao heart, which has already attained the Great Luo of the Outer Realm, he couldn't help but take a second look at the heavy and complex emotions contained within it.

It was at this time.

The vast will of the Candle Dragon resounded once again in the minds of Ma Yuan and Ao Guang!

"Good! Great good!"

"The kindness of the Dao Lord cannot be repaid with words! This world's foundation is still shallow, how can our Dragon Clan sit idly by!"

"Ao Guang, heed my decree—"

"Immediately open the Ancestral Treasury! Bestow upon the Dao Lord all the primordial spiritual roots and the five elements used for the evolution of the world within!"

"I want this Qian Yuan Heaven to solidify its foundation and ascend to become a true Middle Thousand World in the shortest possible time!"
