Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

The ground is covered with cold jade, its crystal light as clear as a mirror, and a crystal-clear palace stands on the seabed.

Towering thousands of feet high, a nine-dragon-playing-in-the-sea scene carved from a single piece of deep-sea blue crystal guards the gate. On either side stand ten pairs of ten-thousand-foot-tall crystal dragon pillars, with lifelike five-clawed dragons coiled around them, breathing in and out water.

Haotian and Yaochi's faces were tense. Although they had never seen such a sight before, they came from Yujing Mountain and were Hongjun's attendants. They couldn't act like they had never seen the world before and lose face for their master.

This composure in the face of honor and disgrace even caught the attention of the Ancestral Dragon, who asked in a low voice, "Is this the disciple you've taken in, fellow Daoist?"

Hongjun was even pleased, and a smile appeared on his face: "No, it is the boy whom I enlightened."

"Oh?" Zu Long exclaimed in surprise. Wasn't the boy supposed to be childlike? How could he be so calm? Moreover, he was actually a Taiyi Golden Immortal, a level of cultivation that would make him a regional leader in his dragon clan.

This old friend really went all out!

With a thought, two magical treasures flew out from his sleeve and landed in front of the two: "As an elder, I should also give you a gift."

Haotian blinked. A mid-grade innate spiritual treasure was not bad. He guessed that since he and Yaochi were just children, if the master had introduced them as disciples, they would have been given at least a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. After all, the Dragon Clan was the richest of the three clans that had been created!

Seeing Hongjun nod slightly, Haotian and Yaochi accepted the two spiritual treasures and bowed to the Ancestral Dragon: "Haotian/Yaochi thank you, Senior Ancestral Dragon."

As the group entered, several clam maidens served up dishes and sea monsters. Haotian's eyes flickered; after all, the dragon race was at the top of the aquatic hierarchy, and they ate seafood as usual.

Of course, Haotian Yaochi, as a child attendant, was not qualified to sit down. The two of them could only stand behind Hongjun and watch Hongjun talk to the Ancestral Dragon.

Haotian looked at the many dragons in the main hall and sighed inwardly. The dragons were indeed the strongest of the three races. Zhulong and the Dragon Mother were both at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level, and there were more than thirty dragons at the Daluo Golden Immortal level. They were truly powerful!

As for cultivators from other races, none of them showed up, presumably because the Ancestral Dragon was hiding his strength.

Haotian's thoughts were scattered when he felt something strange in his hand. He looked down and saw that it was Hongjun who had given him a few spiritual fruits, which Yaochi had already eaten.

The master is so kind!

Haotian ate one, and his eyes immediately lit up. Such rich water element energy! This spiritual fruit from the seabed is truly extraordinary, and it tastes quite good too.

One after another, Daoist chants resounded. Zulong manifested the image of ten thousand dragons, with the dragon race dominating the prehistoric world. Hongjun gathered thousands of laws and merged them into the Dao. The two completely different wills collided constantly, captivating the attention of many dragons and Haotian Yaochi.

Sensing the philosophies of the two great masters, Haotian closed his eyes, his internal magical power surged continuously, and his aura continued to rise. A stream of dark blue water flowed around Haotian's body, and although the noise it made was not loud, it gradually stopped the Daoist chanting.

"The Law of Water!" Haotian gradually opened his eyes, looking at the water flowing around his fingertips and muttering to himself.

Zulong took a deep breath and looked intently at Haotian: "Young friend, would you like to join my Dragon Clan? I can accept you as my disciple. Although you are not a dragon, I can give you the treatment of a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

On the other side, Zhulong and the Dragon Mother looked surprised, but did not voice any objection. After all, a cultivator who had comprehended the laws at the mid-stage of Taiyi, even if he was still a virgin, would surely be able to attain the Dao of Hunyuan Golden Immortal in the future.

Even the Dragon Mother has only just broken through, and her realm is not yet stable. If Haotian could join the Dragon Clan, it would be of great benefit to the Dragon Clan. Although it wouldn't necessarily bind Hongjun to the Dragon Clan's war chariot, their relationship would be closer than that between the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan.

Haotian was surprised when he heard what Zulong said. He did not expect that Zulong would recruit him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Haotian bowed to the Ancestral Dragon: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. Haotian only wishes to serve you as a servant."

Just kidding, my master has surely mastered the art of severing the three corpses by now. He could easily take on three of you at once, not to mention he'll be the future Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Era. Your Dragon Clan is doomed.

If I were to join your dragon clan now, wouldn't that be like entering the dragon clan in 1949... Hmm!

"Young friend, you should think carefully. If you follow Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you will be nothing more than a novice. Once you join my Dragon Clan, you will be my personal disciple, and your status will be no less than that of my own son. Moreover, I can remove the restriction of your novice status."

Hongjun glanced at Zulong without any emotion, while Haotian remained unmoved, only respectfully saying, "Haotian was enlightened by Master, and dares not forget his kindness."

A purple light flashed above his auspicious cloud, and the Purple Cloud Sword landed in his hand: "Master's kindness to Haotian is as heavy as a mountain, even bestowing upon me the innate spiritual treasure, the Purple Cloud Sword; moreover, once I attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I will naturally be freed from the restriction of being a virgin."

His gaze turned cold, and he took a few steps closer to Hongjun. Zulong's words, though meant to recruit him, were also an attempt to sow discord between him and Hongjun.

After all, one is the Dragon Emperor's own son, and the other is just an ordinary child. It's inevitable that he will feel a sense of loss, and it's easy for Hongjun to misunderstand. Unfortunately, he is not the original Haotian, so he naturally knows to choose the path of righteousness!

The First Emperor was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "So be it, it seems that my young friend and I are not destined to be together."

A streak of light flew in from the rear hall, exuding an overbearing aura. With a thought, the Ancestral Dragon summoned a chilling spear that floated before Haotian. He looked at Hongjun and said, "It was my rashness."

"The cause and effect are settled." Hongjun said expressionlessly, waving his hand to let Haotian put away the spear. After standing up, a purple light flashed, and the three of them disappeared instantly.

Zhulong waved his hand, dismissing the other dragons, leaving only him, Zulong, and the Dragon Mother in the main hall.

"Brother, your actions today have likely offended Hongjun!" Zhulong said with concern.

Zulong's eyes darkened slightly, and after a long while he spoke: "It's alright. Since he said that the cause and effect have been settled, it means that this matter is over. Moreover, given Hongjun's personality, even if he doesn't stand on the side of our dragon clan, he will never help Yuanfeng and Shiqilin."

"I was a bit aggressive just now, but it was to shut Hongjun up."

Zhulong was startled: "What do you mean by this, elder brother?"

"Hongjun said that calamity has already risen in the primordial world, and he hopes that our three races will exercise restraint and not start another war." The Ancestral Dragon's pupils flashed with golden light, radiating an extreme chill.

"Then, what are your thoughts, elder brother?" Zhulong pondered for a moment and asked softly.

The Ancestral Dragon revealed a cruel smile: "The destiny of unifying the Scaled Armor Clan has already put me ahead of the Primordial Phoenix and the First Qilin. If I defeat the two clans and obtain all their destiny, then it will be the time for me to rule the Primordial World and attain the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

Zhulong and the Dragon Mother exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Very well, it is only right for our dragon race to do so."

In the void, above a purple cloud, Hongjun looked down at Haotian: "Are you really not tempted by the words of the Ancestral Dragon? This humble Daoist has no intention of taking you as a disciple."
