If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?.

Chapter 58 The Heavenly Dao's Target

"No, you'll draw the enemy's attention. If they arrive, it'll just be throwing their lives away."

Qinglong Mengzhang shook his head and refused.

Even the entire dragon race combined isn't necessarily safe, so the safety of the single Yinglong Ancestor is even less assured.

Yinglong shook his head and said:

"I am a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivator. It won't be so easy for them to kill me. Besides, if I can't win, can't I just run away?"

With his mind opened up, Ancestor Yinglong was clearly much more flexible than before.

These words startled Meng Zhang, who took a long time to react.

We can abandon the Dragon Palace, so what's the harm in escaping? There's no need to fight to the death.

Ancestor Yinglong looked at Ao Bai. This kid's suggestion was indeed very pertinent. If it weren't for his reminder, the Dragon Clan would probably be doomed.

"It's a pity the Ancestral Dragon Pearl is missing; this is a huge loss for us. From now on, we'll all scatter and secretly search for it. Whoever finds it will own it!"

Ancestor Yinglong said that the Ancestral Dragon Pearl is related to the fate of the dragon race, but its whereabouts are currently unknown, and he has no intention of asking everyone to find it and hand it over.

On the contrary, letting everyone search freely will better motivate the dragon clan members.

Because of their dragon bloodline, they have a strong attraction to the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, so they have a good chance of finding it.

"Okay, I'll go and be stationed in the South China Sea."

Qiuniu spoke first, saying that although he was the eldest son of the First Emperor, he did not like fighting.

The South China Sea is far from the core of the primordial world, where there are fewer wars, making it a peaceful place to live.

After everyone discussed and determined the approximate location, Yinglong opened the Dragon Clan Treasury and distributed a large amount of resources.

The Dragon Palace is beyond saving; keeping the dragon clan's wealth here is a complete waste.

The Dragon Clan has accumulated immense wealth over the years, and countless powerful beings are likely eyeing this place. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the Dragon Clan to take away a portion of their riches first.

"Ao Bai, would you be willing to leave with me?"

As he was leaving, Ya Zi extended an invitation, saying that his strength far surpassed that of the old Dragon King Ao Feng, and that it would be safer to follow him.

Ao Bai shook his head and laughed:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but my father and I still need to guard Henghe together; they cannot do without me there."

With the protection of the old Dragon King, Ao Bai was unwilling to leave easily.

Furthermore, Yazi's strength is insufficient to contend with everything.

"Okay, see you later!"

Ya Zi didn't say much either. Everyone was fleeing for their lives, so there was nothing more to say.

Ao Bai and Ao Feng received quite a few good things, which gave him the opportunity to refine pills.

A sufficient variety of materials provide Ao Bai with the best foundation for practice.

Upon returning to the Henghe River area, Ao Bai immediately began his seclusion, while Ao Feng also ordered the entire waterway to be sealed off, refusing to concern himself with any outside affairs.

Previously, the number of living beings in Henghe Water Palace soared to 40 million in just tens of thousands of years, but now, their number of water spirits has stopped increasing.

After the dragons fell, the water spirits no longer sided with them, and some even defected.

It's already quite an achievement that Yokogawa Water Palace can maintain the status quo.

When Hongjun attains enlightenment, the witches and demons rise together, and all races prosper, the living space of the dragon race will be further squeezed. That will be the truly difficult time.

"Refine elixirs!"

Without any hesitation, Ao Bai began refining the "Azure Water Elixir" in the Water Palace.

The effects of this low-grade elixir on him are diminishing. If Ao Bai were to reach the True Immortal realm, the "Azure Water Spirit Pill" would likely lose all its effectiveness.

Ao Bai was refining the "Azure Water Spirit Pill" in the Water Palace, and at the same time, he was slowly studying the Dao of Alchemy.

Over two thousand years, Ao Bai not only refined a large number of "Azure Water Elixirs," but he also researched an even more advanced elixir.

"The Azure Water Spirit Pill is a level Earth Immortal pill, while the [Ascending Dragon Pill] that I have just researched is a level Celestial Immortal pill, and this pill is also quite helpful for breaking through realms."

Ao Bai was very excited. While using the Azure Water Elixir to improve his cultivation, he began to refine the Ascending Dragon Elixir.

This kind of elixir belongs to the Celestial level, and it is much more difficult to refine.

After mastering the pill formula, Ao Bai began refining it for the first time.

There are plenty of alchemy materials in the Yokogawa Water Mansion, so there is no need to worry about a shortage of raw materials.

Having a strong backer certainly has many advantages.

It's a pity that the big tree has fallen, and Ao Bai will find it difficult to enjoy such benefits again.

"Begin alchemy!"

Ao Bai took out the alchemy furnace, which was specially selected from the East Sea Dragon Palace. It was a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Wind and Fire Furnace.

On that day, Ao Bai saw this alchemy furnace in the East Sea Dragon Palace, but the other dragons showed little interest in this treasure.

This kind of alchemy furnace has a single function; even if it is an innate spiritual treasure, it is useless to beings who do not know the art of alchemy.

With the help of this Wind and Fire Furnace, Ao Bai became even more adept at refining pills.

However, today, Ao Bai's first attempt at refining the [Ascending Dragon Pill] was a complete failure.

"boom!"

Smoke and fire billowed into the sky from the furnace, and all the materials were ruined.

The difficulty of refining celestial-level pills has increased, and since this was Ao Bai's first time refining one, failure was to be expected.

"Again!"

Ao Bai continued refining, preparing the materials, and soon the second batch was fired up.

The medicinal herbs were simmered one by one, and the liquid began to flow, filling the air with a delicate aroma.

"boom!"

However, just when everything was going smoothly for Ao Bai, the elixir exploded again.

Ao Bai frowned, unsure of where he had gone wrong.

After silently cleaning out the slag and repairing everything, he began refining for the third time.

Ao Bai was completely focused; he concentrated all his attention.

However, the elixir soon failed once again.

"this,,,"

Ao Bai felt helpless; he had already sensed something was amiss.

He made no mistakes this time, but the elixir still failed to work.

"My technique was correct; the failure of the elixir was due to external factors!"

Ao Bai remained silent; this was Heaven's will targeting the Dragon Clan.

When bad luck strikes, even drinking cold water can cause problems, let alone trying to refine celestial-level elixirs.

Without the protection of good fortune, you will have to put in ten or even a hundred times the effort to refine elixirs.

"Again!"

Although Ao Bai could not see the fortune, he was certain that this matter was related to the fortune.

After the Dragon Clan's defeat and demise, their fortunes declined significantly, which was reflected in their ability to refine elixirs.

Another point is cultivation. It is feared that the difficulty for dragon clan members to improve their cultivation will also increase significantly.

Previously, you could get promoted by putting in just one effort, but now it would probably take a hundred, or even more.

This is also the reason why the dragon race eventually declined completely.

Your spiritual practice is a hundred times more difficult than others, so how can you compete with others?

Over the years, the gap will only widen, and the dragon race will naturally become weaker and weaker.

The will of Heaven has already begun to target the Dragon Clan.

Perhaps he didn't intentionally target Ao Bai, but just being affected by it made things difficult for Ao Bai.

"I don't believe it anymore, let's try again!"
