Primordial Era: I, Ksitigarbha, shall be the Supreme Being of the Primordial Era.

After all the guests left, only the Dragon King of the East Sea remained.

Seeing that there was no one in front of Jieyin and Zhunti, they hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Ao Qing of the East Sea Dragon Clan greets the two holy beings!"

The Daoist Guide sat cross-legged in meditation, remaining silent. He merely glanced at Ao Qing before closing his eyes to continue resting.

Zhunti Daoist looked at Ao Qing with great interest, and after a long while he laughed and said, "The Dragon Clan, one of the three primordial races, has actually fallen to this state."

"A mere early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal can become the King of a Sea!"

Ao Qing gave a bitter smile, but didn't know what to say.

Zhunti Daoist shook his head, interrupting Ao Qing who was secretly grieving, and asked, "I already know why you came."

"I just wonder, what can you offer to save your three nephews?"

"this……"

A look of surprise suddenly flashed across Ao Qing's expression.

He never imagined that a dignified Quasi-Saint would speak in such a vulgar manner.

However, the three nephews and nieces captured by Ksitigarbha were the only remaining outstanding members of the next generation of the dragon clan, and were being groomed by the Four Seas Dragon Kings as their successors.

The dragon race is no longer as glorious as it once was. The surviving dragons suffer daily from the erosion of the karma of heaven and earth, like candles flickering in the wind.

We've finally found a few promising talents with little negative karma, so we really can't just give up on them.

Ao Qing sighed helplessly and said, "Xiao Long's three nephews are unruly and have caused a great disaster."

In the past, these three evil dragons would have been handed over to the two holy disciples to vent their anger.

But now my dragon bloodline is thin and fragile, and we cannot afford to lose it again. I hope you two holy beings can be lenient. But everything in my dragon clan is yours to choose from!

Ao Qing had already humbled himself to the extreme at this point.

Although the two before me are still somewhat inferior to the original Ancestral Dragon in terms of realm, my ancestor had long since disintegrated his physical body to suppress the four seas.

Although the remaining Candle Dragon Ancestor also possessed the quasi-saint realm, his strength was reduced to less than one-tenth due to the influence of karma, making him no match for the two before him.

Even if they were to actually make a move, they would likely be struck down by divine retribution and reduced to nothingness the moment they emerged from the ancestral court.

This is also why Ao Qing chose to settle things peacefully when the Eastern King's Dragon Palace caused trouble.

After the two officials from the docking guidance center expressed their opinions, Ao Qing waited anxiously for their reply.

Zhunti Daoist's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly overjoyed, plotting how to drain the Dragon Clan dry.

The three innate races!

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; if they could just spare a little, they could raise the barren Mount Sumeru several more steps.

Perhaps even the dream of the two brothers to restore the vitality of the primordial earth veins can be realized more quickly.

The Guide was also speechless at Ao Qing's generosity. He was truly smitten!

My precious disciple didn't just capture three dragons; he clearly captured three enormous gold mountains for my Mount Sumeru!

If Ao Qing hadn't been there, Erdao would have been so excited he'd wanted to hug Dizang and give him a big kiss.

Lucky star! A really lucky star!

After a long while, Erdao finally calmed down.

The guide coughed lightly, forced a smile, and said to Ao Qing, "The Dragon King is so generous, it is the best in the world."

However, this matter may require a decision after my disciple awakens. But I anticipate that the Dragon King's three nephews will return safely to their clan!

"Excellent, excellent! Then I, Xiaolong, thank you both!" Upon hearing this, Ao Qing immediately bowed to the two deities with great joy.

"I wonder when young friend Ksitigarbha will awaken. Although my dragon clan has declined, we still have some treasures that may be of assistance to young friend Ksitigarbha?"

"It's alright, it'll be quick, just wait!"

The guide did not agree, but pointed to the prayer mat next to him and asked Ao Qing to sit down first.

At this moment, Ksitigarbha's mind was completely immersed in his own Daoist heart.

The Dao Heart resides in the Primordial Spirit and dwells in the Divine Court. It is extremely important to cultivators, but if there is any dust in the mind, one's cultivation will not be able to make any progress in this life.

At this moment, Ksitigarbha's Dao heart was not only covered with dust, but also showed fine cracks, indicating that it was on the verge of breaking.

A wisp of Ksitigarbha's consciousness transformed into himself and stood upon the Dao Heart. Looking at the Dao Heart, which resembled a dilapidated house, he felt lost and didn't know where he was.

He bent down and gently stroked his heart, his hand immediately covered in dust.

Looking at the dust floating on his heart, Ksitigarbha frowned and knelt down, wanting to wipe it with his sleeve.

But the dust seemed endless; as soon as one layer was wiped away, another layer would appear in the blink of an eye.

After wiping for a while, Ksitigarbha felt fatigue coming from the depths of his primordial spirit.

Sitting undignifiedly on the ground, Jizo was beginning to consider giving up.

But not long after, a cool aura surged into his primordial spirit again, and Ksitigarbha's consciousness clearly felt that he seemed to have regained some strength.

The remaining coolness flowed along the primordial spirit to the consciousness, and stood up again on the Dao heart, a broom appearing in its hand at some unknown time.

Grabbing the broom, Ksitigarbha seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, with a smile, he slowly bent down and swept away the dust-covered Dao Heart.

This time, Ksitigarbha did not feel the fatigue he had felt earlier during the cleaning. In fact, with each cleaning session, Ksitigarbha felt his primordial spirit become much clearer.

In the world of the Dao, there is no sunrise or sunset. Ksitigarbha sweeps away the dust, gradually forgetting time and who he is, only remembering that he has to clear the path ahead.

On this day, Ksitigarbha suddenly stopped his mechanical movements and looked clearly behind him.

"The Way is actually always beneath your feet..."

"The mind is the staircase in a building, and delusions are like floating dust."

Sitting in the air, I see no dust on the ground.

The restless mind is like an iron chain, and the wandering will like a hemp rope.

Always look down and clean up.

Where does the true knowledge lie? Do not seek the mystery externally.

"Cultivation is cultivating the mind; the mind is the path. When my mind is free of dust, the path is also free of dust!"

Having figured these things out, Ksitigarbha suddenly felt enlightened.

Suddenly, his primordial spirit trembled, and Ksitigarbha's consciousness found that his Dao heart, which was originally full of dust and cracks, had been completely renewed.

It is crystal clear, like a flawless crystal.

This experience further solidified Ksitigarbha's resolve, which greatly benefited his future cultivation.

At this moment, outside, the Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti, who had been meditating with their eyes closed, opened their eyes and looked at Ksitigarbha.

Ksitigarbha's entire body seemed to have been cleansed, and the previous signs of decline and silence were no longer visible.

"Very well, after today, my disciple will no longer be troubled by inner demons!"

Master Zhunti clapped his hands in delight and praised.

The guide nodded with a smile, clearly very satisfied with Ksitigarbha.

Ksitigarbha opened his eyes and saw his two masters sitting cross-legged in front of him, looking at him. A warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Whenever he encountered an accident, his two masters would stand in front of him, which truly made him feel at ease knowing that he had someone to rely on.

"Disciple has caused your two masters worry!" Ksitigarbha knelt on the ground and bowed to Jieyin and Zhunti to apologize.

Daoist Zhunti smiled and shook his head, saying, "My disciple, you have escaped danger and your state of mind has improved. How could your master have any worries, only joy!"

Ao Qing stood aside, watching the three of them chatting and laughing harmoniously, and couldn't help but feel a little envious. For a moment, he didn't dare to go forward and disturb them.

After the three of them finished talking, Ksitigarbha noticed that there was another person standing to the side.

"May I ask who this senior is?"
