Primordial Era: I, Huanglong, have refined all the heavens, and will not join the Chan Sect.

Chapter 46 Black Lotus Seed, Encounter with the Ghost Clan

The last innate spiritual treasure that Huanglong chose was a black seed.

If Huanglong hadn't meticulously examined every single rare and precious item in the treasure vault, not even overlooking the shelves where the spiritual treasures were displayed...

He might not even notice this black seed that had been tossed into some obscure corner.

This doesn't mean that this black seed was something extraordinary that the dragons overlooked, allowing the Yellow Dragon to pick it up by chance.

Even if the contents of this treasure vault are scattered and disorganized, it is still the treasure vault of the dragon race.

All the rare and precious materials here were personally placed in by powerful dragon clan members.

Those who can be called great beings are all Great Luo Golden Immortals. Even if they don't recognize the rare and precious materials on their bodies, how could they not see the value of these spiritual treasures?

Therefore, the items that the powerful dragons would put into their treasure vaults as part of the dragon clan's foundation are all things that they have carefully selected and determined to be useless to them. There is no possibility that someone else would pick them up.

This black seed, from its roots, is definitely a rare treasure.

If it grows up, becoming a top-grade innate spiritual treasure will not be a problem, and it may even become an innate supreme treasure.

The reason it was placed in the treasure vault by the powerful dragon clan was that it was impossible to make it grow using conventional methods, not even to make it sprout.

This seed has an extraordinary origin. Its roots, like the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Lotus, the Twelve Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus, the Twelve Grade Annihilation Black Lotus, and the Twelve Grade Purification White Lotus, are all seeds of the Chaos Lotus.

However, this seed was greatly affected after the Chaos Green Lotus was destroyed, so much so that it could not transform into a twelve-petaled lotus platform, nor could it germinate normally.

After obtaining this seed, the powerful dragon clan spent countless years trying to make it sprout, but to no avail. In the end, they had no choice but to give up and place it in the dragon clan's treasure vault.

In the eyes of that powerful dragon, the seed was useless; it could not sprout, nor could it transform into a twelve-petaled lotus platform.

Of course, this seed has such a large root that many dragons have taken it away in an attempt to repair it, make it sprout, or transform it into a lotus platform.

But in the end, the seed returned exactly as it was, without any change whatsoever.

Logically speaking, given Huang Long's rational personality, he certainly wouldn't waste such a good opportunity to choose something with such a high degree of uncertainty.

Although the life essence liquid refined and fused by the Devouring Yuan Gourd was very effective, he had no confidence at all that it could make the seed germinate.

Huanglong made this choice because he had a premonition the moment he received the seed.

This seed is connected to me and to the Witch Clan; it is the key to saving the Witch Clan from a tragic end!

For a Great Immortal, such a sensation is usually related to their own path of cultivation.

That's why Huang Long chose this seed even when he wasn't sure.

Because of the trials at Buzhou Mountain, the Yellow Sand Prison Banner, and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, Huanglong owes the Wu Clan a huge debt of karma.

If the Witch Clan truly ends in tragedy, nearly wiped out during the Witch-Demon Calamity, then Huanglong's cultivation will be severely damaged, and he may never have the hope of attaining the Primordial Chaos Realm in this lifetime.

To avoid this outcome, even if this seed is just a glimmer of hope, he will choose to take it with him.

Although Ao Run didn't understand Huang Long's choice, he didn't say much. Everyone has their own choices, and encountering setbacks on the road ahead is not necessarily a bad thing.

However, Huanglong is the junior he values ​​most. He has decided that when Huanglong encounters setbacks, he will send the seed back, just like the dragons of previous years.

Then he gave Huanglong another chance, allowing him to choose an extra treasure from the vault.

Anyway, these rare and precious materials in the treasure vault were originally intended to be given as rewards to the younger generation of the dragon clan. It's only reasonable to give such an outstanding descendant as Huanglong a couple more opportunities to choose treasures.

I'm not being biased at all!

Huang Long was unaware of what Ao Run was thinking. After chatting for a few more minutes, he prepared to take his leave.

Although Ao Run was an ancient dragon king who had reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, sitting down and discussing the Dao with him would surely bring great gains.

However, Huanglong had only recently broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and had many insights in his heart. The best way to consolidate his realm was not to discuss the Dao with others, but to go into seclusion and cultivate.

Furthermore, Huanglong doesn't yet fully trust the Dragon Clan, so he has no intention of going into seclusion in the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Although Yunmeng Immortal Island is small and Yunyin Taoist Temple is simple, it is Huanglong's foundation. Only by secluding himself there can he feel more at ease.

Ao Run naturally wouldn't stop him, as he knew that Huang Long was currently at a crucial moment in consolidating his cultivation.

After sending Huanglong out of the Dragon Palace, Ao Run suddenly addressed the crowd and said loudly:

"Huanglong, come visit the West Sea Dragon Palace whenever you have time. If you encounter any trouble, remember to let me know. Even though the dragon race has declined, I am still the one in charge in the West Sea!!"

Ao Run's voice was so loud that it resounded throughout the entire West Sea Dragon Palace.

His meaning was very clear; he was telling all the creatures in the Dragon Palace.

From today onwards, Huanglong is under my protection. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for him is going against me!

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Dragon Palace, whether dragons or other sea creatures, showed a look of shock in their eyes.

They were all filled with curiosity about Huang Long's identity.

It should be noted that the West Sea Dragon King is one of the highest-ranking and most powerful dragons in the entire dragon race.

They had never seen the West Sea Dragon King act like this before.

Even the creatures that followed the West Sea Dragon King in conquering the primordial world since ancient times had never seen the West Sea Dragon King value a person so much.

The only water dragon who knew something about Huanglong's identity was sent into seclusion by the West Sea Dragon King after returning to the Dragon Palace. He would not be able to leave seclusion until he reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Given the attitude of the West Sea Dragon King, it's certain that no one will know Huanglong's identity for a while.

Repairing the sea eye is a major event concerning the entire dragon race, so naturally the fewer dragons who know about it, the better.

The primordial world was vast and complex, with countless races secretly watching the dragon race.

If this matter is leaked, the dragon race's process of repairing the sea eye will inevitably face many obstacles!

"Thank you for your kindness, Dragon King. I will definitely visit you often in the future."

Huanglong was also greatly surprised by the actions of the West Sea Dragon King, never expecting to gain something unexpected before leaving.

With the Dragon King of the West Sea as a talisman, even if you can't roam freely in the West Sea, you don't need to worry too much about safety.

Huang Long would never refuse such a benefit offered to him.

After bowing in thanks, Huanglong flew out of the West Sea Dragon Palace amidst the envious and curious gazes of all living beings, heading towards the direction of Yunmeng Immortal Island.

Even though Huanglong had mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique, his flying speed still couldn't compare to that of the West Sea Dragon King. In addition, to avoid being followed, he deliberately took a long detour in the sea.

So much so that he flew through the sea for over three hundred years, only covering about half the distance.

this day.

During the monotonous flight, Huanglong encountered a special race that had no physical bodies but only divine souls, like ghosts, and was being chased by a group of Black Water Serpents led by a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Based on the principle of "it's better to avoid trouble," Huang Long immediately decided to leave.

But at that moment, the seed in his sleeve trembled slightly, and he suddenly felt a strange sensation.
