Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

Seeing that Zhulong ignored her and attacked Qin Ming directly, Houtu was furious. She summoned the Primordial Measuring Ruler and flashed in front of Zhulong's attack path: "How dare you! Netherworld Divine Slash!"

The ferocious attack became even more powerful with the blessing of the Primordial Measuring Ruler, a treasure acquired through merit.

After the dense cycle of reincarnation laws neutralized the time laws of the Candle Dragon, it attacked the Candle Dragon with unstoppable momentum.

Upon seeing this, Zhulong's vertical eyes widened, and the law of time rapidly condensed: "Time Stands Still!"

After freezing Houtu's attack, Zhulong dodged and asked, "Who are you?"

"Hmph, I am Houtu, the head of the Ancestral Witches!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu snorted coldly and introduced herself.

At this moment, all she wanted was to buy time.

We'll wait until Qin Ming finishes his enlightenment before making any further plans.

"The Ancestral Witch?"

Zhulong was taken aback. When did such a race appear in the prehistoric world?

Hou Tu's laws were extremely powerful, especially her physical body, which was as hard as divine metal.

Why had he never heard of such a powerful race before?

"This is a feud between my Dragon Clan and the Pure World Daoist. Those who know what's good for them should leave quickly and not interfere."

Houtu is a formidable fighter, and he doesn't want to get entangled with her for the time being.

Judging from Qin Ming's appearance, others might not know, but how could Zhulong, as the second-in-command, not know?

At this moment, Qin Ming was having an epiphany.

Once the epiphany is over, whatever Qin Ming comprehends will bring him great benefits.

Given this situation, how could he allow Qin Ming to achieve enlightenment?

"Hmph, with me here, no one will dare to harm Brother Qin Ming."

Qin Ming had already done her and the Eleven Ancestral Witches a favor.

If it weren't for Qin Ming, their primordial spirits would have been annihilated by the overwhelming malevolent energy at the bottom of Buzhou Mountain long ago.

The annihilation of their primordial spirit means that they can only attain enlightenment through the laws of nature.

However, proving one's Dao through laws is fine at this moment. But if the Heavenly Dao is perfected, one will have to break the chains of the Heavenly Dao that bind one to prove one's Dao through laws in the future.

This situation essentially cuts off this path.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Qin Ming has done them an immense favor.

Moreover, after spending ten thousand years together at Buzhou Mountain, Houtu had already developed an inexplicable and indescribable feeling for Qin Ming.

She didn't know why she felt this way.

But she knew that she would not allow anyone to hurt Qin Ming, even if it cost her her life.

"How dare you! It seems you truly intend to oppose my dragon race to the very end. In that case, let's see whether your supernatural powers surpass my profound understanding of the laws!"

Time flies!

Zhulong was equally enraged when he saw Houtu's resolute stance.

When has he, the second-in-command of the dragon clan, ever suffered such humiliation?

He immediately channeled his magic power, condensing the laws of time to empower himself, thus accelerating the flow of time around him.

His figure vanished from the spot, and in the blink of an eye, he swept past Houtu and rushed straight towards Qin Ming.

Houtu frowned upon seeing this.

The time laws of Zhulong are too bizarre.

Thinking of this, Houtu transformed into a human with a snake's tail, holding the Teng Snake in both hands, and her true form as a ten-thousand-foot-tall Ancestral Witch with seven arms growing from her back.

Houtu, now in her true form, experienced a surge in power and approached Zhulong with lightning speed. The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler in her hand radiated boundless golden light, and the Law of Reincarnation erupted in full force at this moment. With a single stroke of the ruler, the waters of the East Sea were forcibly split apart by the aftershocks.

Sensing the attack from behind, Zhulong cursed under his breath. Forgetting about attacking Qin Ming, he could only turn around and condense the Law of Time: "Net of Time!"

In an instant, the laws of time intertwined in the air, forming a vast net of time.

The moment the net was formed, it enveloped Houtu's attack.

However, just when he thought the crisis was over, Houtu swung her fist and punched the Time Web.

The powerful attack shattered all the time laws on the time network.

The attack, now freed from the constraints of the Time Net, surged towards the Candle Dragon with unstoppable force.

Upon seeing the rapidly approaching attack of the Law of Reincarnation, Zhulong's expression changed drastically, and his vertical eyes erupted with a dazzling light: "Time Reversal!"

"Hmph, don't even think about it! The cycle of reincarnation continues!"

Seeing that Zhulong was preparing to use time reversal to avoid the attack, Houtu snorted coldly and quickly condensed the Law of Reincarnation, completely shattering Zhulong's time law.

Moreover, the ever-changing cycle of phenomena and illusions swirled around Zhulong, causing his magical power to stagnate. Even the laws of time could not be condensed for a moment, and he could only watch helplessly as Houtu's attack came toward him.

Just as Zhulong thought he would be severely injured by this attack, a deafening roar of a true dragon came.

The next moment, a golden dragon that blotted out the sky burst out from the seabed, its mouth wide open, and a dragon pearl shot out from its mouth.

The moment the Dragon Balls appeared, the world changed color, and the powerful Dragon Balls swiftly and decisively extinguished Houtu's attack.

"Sing!!!"

The golden dragon roared again, and the sound waves shattered all the illusions surrounding the candle dragon.

Having done all this, the Golden Dragon transformed into its Daoist form, looking at the Candle Dragon with an unfriendly expression: "What's going on?"

"Brother, the Pure World Daoist is colluding with the Qilin Clan. He actually led the direct descendant of the Qilin Ancestor to fly recklessly over the East Sea, clearly showing that he doesn't take our Dragon Clan seriously."

"I originally wanted to teach the Pure World Daoist a lesson, but this female cultivator thwarted me."

Upon seeing the arrival of the Ancestral Dragon, Zhulong immediately began to defend himself.

"Hmph, not much skill, but a sharp tongue certainly does!"

"The Fire Kirin was Qin Ming's mount. Back at Buzhou Mountain, Qin Ming personally killed several Kirin. How come in your mouth, Qin Ming is colluding with the Kirin clan?"

Upon seeing this, Houtu transformed into a Daoist body and mocked her.

She sensed that the Ancestral Dragon possessed extraordinary combat power; he had only used two moves to shatter her divine abilities.

If she were on the ground, she could use the power of the earth to fight against it.

But she was on the sea, and could not rely on the power of the earth.

Most importantly, she was not confident that she could completely protect Qin Ming under the combined attack of Zu Long and Zhu Long.

For Qin Ming's safety, she had no choice but to engage in verbal sparring with the two of them.

"Fellow Daoist Jingshi, this is indeed a good opportunity!"

"Fellow Daoist, what is your relationship with Fellow Daoist Jingshi?"

Upon hearing this, Zulong glanced at Zhulong, who still seemed about to say something, and then looked at Qin Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the back of Huolin in the distance, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

He also had moments of sudden enlightenment.

It was during this sudden enlightenment that he comprehended the Dragon Clan's peerless and deadly formation, the Myriad Dragons Overturning the Sea Formation.

However, it only happened once, and he never had another epiphany after that.

Seeing Qin Ming enter into a state of enlightenment, how could Zu Long not be envious?

"I am Qin Ming's Daoist partner!"

Upon hearing this the day after tomorrow, he spoke frankly.

This companion is not that companion.

Cultivation lies in wealth, companionship, Dharma, and environment.

The term "Daoist companion" refers to like-minded and close Daoist friends.

After all, celestial marriages have not yet appeared, and marriage naturally does not exist in the prehistoric world.

"I see. Fellow Daoist Jingshi is truly blessed to have found a Daoist partner like you."

"This matter is the fault of my dragon clan. I apologize to you, fellow Daoist. Once you awaken, I will personally visit you with generous gifts to apologize!"

"Now that Fellow Daoist Jingshi is in a state of enlightenment, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, it would be best if you quickly found a safe place for him to peacefully continue his enlightenment. I take my leave!"

After saying this, Zulong bowed to Houtu and left with Zhulong, who was full of resentment.

Seeing this, Houtu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then returned to Huo Lin's back and ordered Huo Lin to find an uninhabited island to stop temporarily and wait for Qin Ming to finish his enlightenment.
