Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 120, Section 119: The Mastermind
"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, my Dragon Clan would probably have suffered another calamity."

Zhulong and the others clasped their hands in a respectful gesture, showing extreme deference.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yuan was able to easily solve what the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't.

Ji Yuan waved his hand:
"Everyone has their own expertise; I just happen to have some knowledge of the principles of cause and effect."

Since his master was still here, he still needed to be humble.

"You're still giving me face, kid. Go on, go on. If you can't handle something, come find me. I'm not good at those strange and weird methods, but I'm good at fighting magic."

The Master of Heaven laughed heartily.

Ji Yuan nodded and went with Zhulong and the others to the place where Hou died.

All that could be seen was a strange power intertwined within the shattered flesh of the Hou, seemingly alive and spreading in all directions.

Fortunately, Zhulong had sealed off this area before leaving; otherwise, who knows how much sea would have been polluted by this flesh and blood.

Ji Yuan stepped forward, picked up some flesh and blood, and his eyes emitted a faint light as he quickly analyzed the various powers contained within.

"Cause and effect, curse power, demonic path, slaughter, destruction..."

"This is a hybrid variety."

Before long, Ji Yuan had already analyzed the power contained within. In fact, upon seeing the familiar causal power in those dragon causal lines, Ji Yuan already knew that this matter was definitely related to Rahu.

At this point, the demonic and destructive power within flesh and blood was also unearthed, which was almost certainly the work of Rahu.

"Did you notice anything unusual when you came into contact with the Hou?"

Ji Yuan asked Zhulong and the others questions.

Yinglong stepped forward and asked in confusion:
"At that time, we imprisoned Hou, but when I got close to him, my primordial spirit was in chaos, and I subconsciously attacked Hou. My second brother and Qinglong killed him to help me, and then Hou's zombie power began to spread along the cause and effect."

"To cause the primordial spirit of a top-tier powerhouse to become chaotic?"

Ji Yuan's gaze sharpened. Was Luo Hou really that powerful?

"Please offer up your primordial spirit so that I may have a look."

Upon hearing this, Yinglong summoned his primordial spirit.

Ji Yuan secretly mobilized the power of the God-Slaying Whip to see through all flaws, and soon discovered an anomaly in Yinglong's primordial spirit. A hidden, extremely small curse power was attached to Yinglong's primordial spirit. If it weren't for the power of the God-Slaying Whip, Ji Yuan might not have noticed it.

However, since he had seen it, he could take it. With a flick of his finger, the curse power was removed. Ji Yuan had basically reached the peak in the art of curses.

Then, using this curse power as the source, they began to deduce. They were shocked by what they found when they started deduce.

Ji Yuan looked at Ying Long with a serious expression:
"This curse power was already within your body during the Dragon-Han Calamity."

"What! ×3"

Upon hearing what Ji Yuan said, the three powerful figures at the level of dragon ancestors were greatly shocked. Yinglong's curse power actually existed back in the Dragon Han Dynasty. This calculation was far too far-reaching.

“Zhulong, Qinglong, you should also offer up your primordial spirits. This Hou may be deliberately courting death.”

Ji Yuan said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the two dragon ancestors did not waste any words and revealed their primordial spirits.

As expected, Ji Yuan also discovered curse power within the primordial spirits of these two individuals. Upon extracting it, he found it was the same power that had just infected them. Ji Yuan shared his discovery with Sanlong, who immediately understood.

Yinglong recalled:
"Back then, Hou was extremely arrogant and regarded my dragon clan as food. My elder brother Zulong sent me and many clansmen to surround and kill him on the spot. It seems that I was tainted by the curse power after Hou's death at that time."

Then came deep doubt:
“But we had already taken measures to prevent Hou from returning, so why has it returned again now, and with even more unpredictable power?”

"Rahu."

Ji Yuan casually uttered a name.

"The Hou's flesh and blood contain profound demonic power. Perhaps when the Hou was killed, Luo Hou used some methods to take away most of its essence, waiting for the right opportunity."

"His goal was also very clear: to use the Hou's power to turn most of the dragons into dragon zombies and make them his helpers. I just didn't expect him to be able to see so far ahead."

After speaking, Ji Yuan drew three calming hand seals on his hands:
“Take this Tranquility Seal. Rahu is cunning and unpredictable; he may have some other scheme. This Tranquility Seal can protect your mind.”

Sanlong thanked him and accepted the Tranquility Seal. He immediately felt calm and peaceful, but he still could not suppress his raging anger.

The Dragon-Han Calamity was caused by Rahu stirring up trouble, which led to the rupture of the primordial world and burdened the three races with endless karma. Now, it's not enough; he wants to come back and continue to torment the Dragon race.

However, now that Rahu has become a saint, their dragon clan is completely helpless, which is truly infuriating.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, we'll leave the affairs of our dragon clan descendants to you. Just tell us what treasures you need, and we'll offer them to you without hesitation."

Now, all Zhulong and the others hope is that their descendants can recover properly.

Ji Yuan nodded:
"This won't take much effort. First, take me to see if there are any unusual movements in the sea eye."

In the primordial world, the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man stood in a tripod formation, making the world extremely stable. Any attempt to silently break through these boundaries and enter would surely cause disturbances in the Heavenly Dao.

However, there was no unusual movement of the Heavenly Dao after the Hou entered. The only place Ji Yuan could think of was the East Sea Eye, which was not only the largest sea eye but also connected to the Ruins of Return. It was the most likely place from which the Hou sneaked in.

Before long, the three dragons and one person arrived at Guixu. Ji Yuan opened his Dharma Eye and indeed saw the traces of Hou's past.

After glancing at the barrier formed by the body of the Ancestral Dragon, Ji Yuan flicked his finger, and a drop of blood fell, transforming into a crimson divine dragon that plunged straight into the sea eye.

Then he looked at Zhulong and said:
"We need to send more people here. Hou came in from here. I'll send a clone to see if we can find any trace of Luo Hou."

Zhulong and the others responded and prepared for the three dragons to take turns on duty, but they had to be wary of Luo Hou's treacherous and cunning nature.

After giving some more instructions, Ji Yuan returned to the Daoist temple at Jianmu, and a wisp of his divine consciousness entered his inner world.

All that could be seen was Wanlong in his full form, his face contorted in agony, yet he remained motionless, frozen in mid-air.

In Ji Yuan's world, he has absolute control, and it is easy for him to freeze all the causes and effects of time and space in these Great Luo Dragon Clan.

Then he turned his gaze to the mangled body high in the sky, a smile playing on his lips:

"Cause and effect, do you recognize the aura of cause and effect on these dragons?"

Although Yinguo was beaten to dust that day, he did not die. Ji Yuan kept him alive to try to find out some secrets, but before the torture had even officially started, another source of Yinguo's aura appeared.

Ever since Karma entered his inner universe, it has been clamoring for him to kill it, so Ji Yuan guessed that the Karma Demon God might have some other means in the outside world.

Upon seeing these infected dragons, the incredulous expression on the God of Cause and Effect's face was laid bare, confirming Ji Yuan's suspicions.
