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

Chapter 87 Yi Long Bears Seventy Percent of Karma

"Greetings, First Emperor!"

Just as Huanglong was shocked by the scene before him, the Dragon King of the West Sea stood at the gate and bowed to the Ancestral Dragon in the main hall.

Huanglong also came to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly composed himself, bowing respectfully to Zulong with his hands clasped together.

"Greetings, First Emperor!"

After discovering that the darkness within the main hall was the result of boundless karma, Huanglong understood something.

That is why the dragon race can still operate in the four seas. It is because the ancestral dragon, by himself alone, has borne at least half of the karma!

Without the sacrifices of the First Dragon, it's hard to say whether the Yellow Dragon could have hatched from the dragon egg.

Therefore, his bow was a gesture of respect from the bottom of his heart.

"No need for formalities. I am very pleased that the Dragon Clan has produced such an outstanding descendant as you. Your method of repair has greatly reduced my burden."

"Perhaps the dragon race's hope of repairing the sea eye rests on your shoulders."

Zu Long's voice was hoarse, as if two pieces of dry wood were rubbing against each other. Just by listening to his voice, one could understand the other's pain.

Even so, Huanglong could still detect a hint of joy in Zulong's words.

"These are all things I should do. I am also a member of the Dragon Clan, and helping the Dragon Clan out of its predicament is my duty."

Huanglong calmly shook his head. If he hadn't met Zulong, he wouldn't have known that Zulong had borne such heavy karma for the entire dragon race.

He might even feel that what he did made the dragons owe him a debt of karma.

But not now. No matter if I was born in the Four Seas or am a dragon who has been stranded abroad, I owe the Ancestral Dragon a huge debt of karma.

Without the First Dragon, it's uncertain whether I would even have been born, let alone achieved what I have today.

Both the First Dragon and the Dragon King of the West Sea were overjoyed to hear Huanglong say this.

They all knew that Huanglong was a dragon who had wandered away from home and did not have much of a sense of belonging to the dragon clan.

Even his offering of the method to repair the sea eye, his acquaintance with Donghuang Taiyi, and his maneuvering between the Sun God Temple and the Celestial Court to help the Dragon Clan complete the sea eye repair plan were all largely driven by self-interest.

This was also one of the main reasons why Zulong sent Huanglong to Zulong Palace. He did not want such an outstanding descendant as Huanglong to be alienated from the dragon clan and lack a sense of belonging.

Since the ancient war, the Ancestral Dragon's condition has been very bad. Even though he received the merit of this descent and washed away some of the dragon race's karma, his situation is still not good.

After a brief chat, Zulong got straight to the point and began to teach the Huanglong Dragon Clan their unique combat techniques and cultivation methods.

This lecture spans two thousand years.

Over the years, Huanglong's cultivation level has improved somewhat, bringing him one step closer to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

But the greatest gain was comprehending the combat techniques of many dragons, including those in the form of a true dragon and those in the form of a human-dragon.

In previous years, while at Buzhou Mountain, Huanglong and Houtu learned a lot of the physical combat techniques of the Wu tribe.

Now that he has received the dragon clan's combat techniques from the Ancestral Dragon, he can apply them to other situations and draw inferences from one instance to another. Although his realm has not improved, his actual combat power has increased significantly.

Even the ancient dragon, who was knowledgeable and had existed since the beginning of time, was surprised by this result.

Without a doubt, among all the dragons that Zu Long had seen, Huang Long was the most outstanding in terms of both comprehension and aptitude.

The Dragon King of the West Sea was filled with emotion. If they were in different positions, he would be far inferior to the Yellow Dragon.

Even in ancient times, when the dragon race dominated the world, he was only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at the age of Huanglong.

This is only because he was a naturally born deity, having just hatched from a dragon egg and already possessing the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal; otherwise…

Let's not talk about it!

Afterwards, Huanglong solemnly thanked the Ancestral Dragon for his teachings. After a moment of silence, he couldn't resist his curiosity and asked:

"Ancestral Dragon, these karmic burdens..."

"Didn't you already guess? That's right, I bore 70% of the dragon clan's karma."

"You don't need to feel grateful for this. I am Zulong. I failed to change this outcome, and I should bear the consequences."

"I am like this, and so are Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin. This is what we should do."

The Ancestral Dragon spoke calmly, but Huanglong, just by looking at the karmic force that had already materialized in the main hall, understood how great the sacrifice the Ancestral Dragon had made.

Perhaps this is the true demeanor of a king.

If I am strong, my people will enjoy happiness with me; if I make a mistake, I will bear the consequences for my people!

The reason why the First Dragon could bear 70% of the dragon race's karma alone was simply because he could only bear 70% at most, not because he was only willing to bear 70%.

"The First Emperor's Righteousness!"

Huang Long clasped his hands in a respectful bow, his resolve to repair the sea eye strengthened.

In the past, Huanglong's desire to repair the sea eye was primarily for his own spiritual path.

But now, he also wants to do something for the dragon race, for the ancestral dragon. At least in his view, the ancestral dragon should not continue to suffer like this.

Moreover, repairing the sea eye was something he was determined to do, and it did not conflict with his future plans.

However, to completely solve the problem of the sea eye, we need to understand it more.

Based on the current state of the ancestral dragon, it can be basically confirmed that the giant sea eye is real.

The reason why the Great Thousand World where the Ancestral Dragon Palace is located keeps traveling through the prehistoric world is probably because this giant sea eye has something special about it.

Huang Long didn't think much of it and directly asked his question.

"Zulong, I heard that you reside in the Zulong Palace to suppress the largest sea eye. But this Great Thousand World is constantly shifting in the primordial chaos. Is there anything special about this sea eye?"

"You're right. The other small, medium, and large sea eyes are gaps in the primordial material level, but this largest sea eye is a gap in the origin."

"That is why, wherever the source of water can reach, there is a risk of collapse, causing boundless seawater to surge from the chaos into the primordial world. That is why the Ancestral Dragon Palace needs to constantly travel to various parts of the primordial world."

After a brief pause, Zu Long sighed helplessly and continued:

"Don't think about the giant sea eye for now. If one day you can repair all the small, medium and large sea eyes at the material level, that will be enough."

Zulong knew how difficult it was to repair the gap in the origin, and he did not think that Huanglong could solve this problem at this stage.

However, Huanglong did not think that way. "I really can't solve the fundamental problem, but why should I try to solve the fundamental problem?"
