Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Huanglong took more than a dozen phoenix eggs into the Xuanhuang Realm.

Then, with the purifying power of the Pure World White Lotus, it thoroughly purified these phoenix eggs from the inside out.

Avoid letting unclean things inhabit it.

Otherwise, it would be extremely bad if the phoenix you painstakingly nurtured ended up benefiting someone else.

Afterwards, he specially created an area in the Xuanhuang Realm with exceptionally abundant fire elemental power to house these phoenix eggs.

Then, by supplementing the phoenix eggs with a variety of innate fire-attribute spiritual materials, better incubation conditions are provided.

After completing the transaction with this tribe, Huanglong did a quick calculation and realized that the six hundred years that he had agreed upon with the Dragon King of the South Sea were almost up.

Over the years, the search for traces of the human race that he had entrusted to Hou Yi remained elusive.

If it weren't for the occasional glimpse of human presence, Huanglong would almost have thought that the human race on this continent had been completely wiped out.

However, based on this, it can be inferred that if the human race really appeared in the southern region of the prehistoric world, they would most likely be within the sphere of influence of the demon race.

Left with no other choice, Huanglong once again entrusted Houyi to ask the Wu tribe to continue to keep an eye out for traces of the human race on this land, paying particular attention to areas bordering the demon race.

He promised that anyone who could provide accurate information about the human race would be rewarded with one hundred jars of blood date wine.

Because Huanglong repeatedly revealed the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Prince to Houyi, almost all the Golden Crows that roamed and killed invading the territory of the Witch Clan were shot by Houyi with an arrow.

Although no serious injuries were caused, it deterred these golden crows from appearing over the territory of the witch clan for a short period of time.

Huanglong thus also collected a considerable amount of golden crow feathers and golden crow blood.

They are exceptionally rich in spiritual energy, making them top-notch materials for refining weapons and alchemy.

Huanglong returned Houyi's bow to him, and had already formed a preliminary idea in his mind regarding the forging of the witch clan weapon he needed.

Huanglong told Houyi that he needed to leave for a period of time, which could be as short as a thousand years or as long as nearly ten thousand years.

He hoped that upon his return, he would hear good news from the ancestral witch.

Otherwise, once Huanglong finds news of the human race, he will leave the Wu tribe and return to Kunlun.

As for the Golden Crow, Hou Yi had to find another way.

Hou Yi took Huang Long's words very seriously and assured him:

"Don't worry, young friend. If you come to the Witch Clan again and the Ancestral Witch has not yet emerged from seclusion, I will personally go to Buzhou Mountain and give you a satisfactory answer."

Hou Yi solemnly said, "As for the human race you are looking for, I will inform all the witch tribes on this land. Even if I have to turn this land upside down, I will definitely find it for you!"

"Then I will await your good news, senior!"

After bidding farewell to Hou Yi, Huanglong went straight to the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea.

His arrival was once again met with a warm welcome and hospitality from the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

At the banquet in the South China Sea Dragon Palace, Huanglong also met the leaders of the four seas, all of whom were familiar faces.

Ao Qing of the East China Sea, Ao Yan of the South China Sea, Ao Hen of the West China Sea, and Ao Zhan of the North China Sea.

These four individuals have all remained at the peak of the Taiyi Realm for a long time, having already honed their foundations to the extreme, and their essence, energy, and spirit have all reached perfection, awaiting their final bloom.

Because of the karmic burdens of the dragon race, they have never dared to attempt to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and take that final step.

In the last operation to exterminate the ferocious beast, they gained a great deal of merit, which has worn away most of their karma.

If this journey goes smoothly, it is hoped that all karma will be completely eradicated, shackles will be broken, and the path of the Great Luo will be attained.

Of the other dragons who participated in this operation, only Ao Guang from the East Sea was an old acquaintance of the Yellow Dragon.

Clearly, after gaining merit last time, he received great support and resources from the East Sea Dragon Clan. He has now reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm and is expected to gain merit again in this hunt of ferocious beasts, breaking through to the Taiyi realm in one fell swoop.

Although the other dragons were participating for the first time, they were all on the verge of a breakthrough.

When Ao Qing and the others saw Huang Long, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Last time they fought side by side, although Huang Long's strength far surpassed theirs, his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of Taiyi.

Now, when they meet again, they are still standing still, while Huanglong has already stepped into the Great Luo realm.

This former junior has now become someone they look up to.

"This is our Dragon Clan's latest breakthrough to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Lord Yellow Dragon!"

"I've heard that this esteemed person has been cultivating for a similar period of time as us..."

"Such powerful aura!"

Huanglong paid no attention to the discussions and shock of the other dragons. He greeted several of the leading dragons and nodded slightly to Ao Guang, who was standing at the back.

Ao Guang was incredibly excited and almost couldn't help but announce to all his clansmen, "The Yellow Dragon Lord you speak of is my boss!"

However, he ultimately dared not speak out, fearing that he might displease Huanglong—back in the Dragon Clan's ancestral court, he had suffered no shortage of Huanglong's "loving" punches.

Seeing Ao Guang so excited, Huang Long just smiled slightly and then looked at Ao Yan beside him.

Ao Yan understood and solemnly addressed all the dragons: "In this hunt for the ferocious beasts, you shall follow Huang Long's command. Remember to prioritize your own safety and do not be greedy for merit or act rashly."

Then, he looked at Ao Qing and the other three dragons at the peak of the Taiyi realm, and said earnestly:

"May the four of you completely eliminate all karmic obstacles on this journey and attain the status of Great Golden Immortals."

Ao Yan pointed at Huang Long, his voice resounding: "Huang Long is your role model! He proved that the Dragon Clan can still break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Ao Qing and the others looked at Huang Long, their eyes flashing with golden light, their fighting spirit rekindled.

Since the end of the Three Races era, countless dragons have rushed to challenge the Great Luo, but all have perished and disappeared due to the backlash of the karma of heaven and earth.

The fall of one Taiyi peak expert after another gradually eroded the Dragon Clan's confidence in the Daluo realm.

That final step, like a divine punishment, firmly imprisoned the entire dragon race.

This is also the fundamental reason why Ao Qing and others still dared not take that step even after they had gained a lot of merit and consumed most of their karma last time - they lacked the confidence to break through everything and the belief that they could definitely break through!

Huanglong, a dragon who attained the Great Luo realm in less than three cycles of cultivation, gave Ao Qing and his companions renewed hope and restored their long-lost confidence!

Seeing the renewed fighting spirit and passion in Ao Qing and the others' eyes, Ao Yan nodded in satisfaction.

His biggest worry was that they would lose their spirit over the long years.

With Huang Long as their role model, the group has finally regained their faith.

With this mindset, even if one's karma has not been completely cleared, it is not impossible to break through to the Great Luo realm!

Then, Ao Yan solemnly said to Huang Long, "I'm entrusting them to you."

Huanglong replied decisively, "Rest assured, Dragon King, I will bring them back safe and sound!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huanglong waved his hand, tearing through the void and opening a dark spatial passage that led directly to the area where he had hunted the ferocious beast last time.
