Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

When Jiao Da saw that his demon soldiers were scattered by the gale summoned by Zhao Gongming, and that the monstrous waves he was brewing were also suppressed, he was furious.

First, he was furious at how easily his side was defeated; second, he resented that Jiao Er had failed to investigate properly and had not known in advance that there was another Taiyi Golden Immortal on the island.

However, this is not the time to pursue the matter. The immediate priority is to suppress this sudden counterattack and take control of the target as soon as possible.

With a roar, the dragon flipped its claw, revealing a triangular command flag, entirely black with subtle water patterns, in its claw.

The flag moved without wind, radiating a deep and heavy spiritual light of Gui water, as it vigorously waved the flag:

"Certainly!"

With a decree imbued with the power of laws, the chaotic and surging seawater, stirred up by the gale, was instantly calmed down as if smoothed by an invisible giant hand. The waves stopped, and the sea surface even showed a moment of eerie tranquility.

But this calm lasted only a moment.

The next moment, an even more horrifying scene unfolded!

Under the control of the black command flag, the seawater within a radius of a hundred miles was lifted up from below as if by an invisible hand, transforming into a black wall of water that reached the sky and connected to the sea, towering thousands of feet high!

This wall of water was incredibly solid, with a destructive force surging within it. It crashed down on the Three Immortal Islands and all the people on them with overwhelming force, crushing everything in its path!

Its power far surpassed the waves stirred up by the second dragon before, clearly indicating that it had used some powerful water-controlling magic treasure to draw upon the primordial power of the sea.

Almost simultaneously, Jiao Er, who had been lurking underwater, seized the opportunity and suddenly leaped into the sky from the sea.

It opened its blood-red maw and spat out a fist-sized, emerald-green pearl with what appeared to be swirling clouds inside. The pearl hung in mid-air, spinning rapidly.

"Clouds rise!"

The azure dragon pearl shone brightly, and a strange power spread out.

The sea, which was originally filled with water vapor due to the rising water wall, instantly condensed into an endless thick cloud.

This mist is no ordinary water vapor; it contains the venomous saliva of a dragon and the essence of Gui water, which not only obscures vision but also erodes consciousness and slows down the flow of magical power.

In an instant, the sky darkened, the sea became murky, giant waves hung in the air, and clouds and mist shrouded the area.

Seeing the terrifying, towering water wall bearing down with an overwhelming force of annihilation, and with their surroundings sealed off by poisonous clouds, their senses were sluggish. Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals knew they could not withstand it, so without hesitation, they transformed into several streaks of light and quickly retreated into the core area of ​​the Three Immortals Island.

As soon as they landed, Zhao Gongming asked anxiously, "Big sister, these two evil dragons are incredibly powerful, and they even have spiritual treasures to aid them. I'm afraid the island's restrictions alone won't be enough to hold out for long. What should we do next?"

Yunxiao's expression was solemn. She had not expected the opponent's attack to be so fierce. After a moment's thought, she resolutely said, "Brother, this time the evil dragon is coming with great force, and it is even using the banner of the East Sea Dragon Palace."

Even if we manage to repel them by sheer luck, I fear that the Dragon Palace experts and even more terrifying retaliations will follow.

Our foundations are still shallow, and our cultivation is incomplete. We are truly no match for the vast Dragon Palace. In my humble opinion...

"It would be better to temporarily abandon this place of practice, retreat to another location, and devote oneself to cultivation. When one's spiritual attainments are complete, one can then return, or seek another blessed land. This is not an impossible endeavor."

"Elder Sister!" Upon hearing this, Bixiao's eyes immediately reddened with anxiety. "These Three Immortal Islands are where we transformed into human form. We have cultivated here for countless eons. Every blade of grass and every tree is imbued with our heart's blood. How can we just abandon them!"

How could Yunxiao not feel pain in his heart?

But as the eldest sister, she had to consider the safety and future of her younger siblings.

She sighed, her tone carrying an undeniable resolve: "Third Sister, how could I not know this place is precious? But circumstances are beyond our control. The Dragon Palace is too powerful for us rogue cultivators to contend with right now."

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood; but if we perish here because of a moment of impulsiveness, then we will truly sever our path!"

Bixiao opened her mouth, but looking at her sister's serious and helpless face, and then at the towering black shadow and the pervasive poisonous fog that were getting closer and closer outside the formation, she swallowed her words back. She could only stomp her feet hard and vent her anger on the arrogant dragon outside the formation.

Zhao Gongming took a deep breath, suppressed his resentment, and nodded in agreement: "Sister, your thoughts are thorough and your words make sense."

Now is not the time for a direct confrontation; retreating for the time being and preserving our usefulness is the best course of action.

"When my siblings and I have made further progress in our cultivation, we will surely return to the East Sea and avenge this humiliation against the Dragon Palace and those two evil dragons, with interest!"

Just as the two dragons thought they had victory in their grasp and were recklessly using their magical treasures and powers to crush the Three Immortal Islands, thousands of miles away in the deep sea, Kong Xuan and Ma Sui, who had been quietly observing the situation, exchanged a glance and knew that the time had come.

"Fellow Daoist, taking action now would not only allow us to capture these two evil dragons to gather information, but also relieve the suffering of the island's inhabitants and forge a good relationship," Kong Xuan said in a deep voice, his eyes shining brightly.

"Just what I wanted!" Ma Sui responded loudly. Before he finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into a sharp and incomparable golden streak of light, breaking through layers of water curtains and rushing straight to the center of the battlefield at an incredible speed!

As Ma Sui raised his hand, a golden, ring-shaped magic weapon flew out. At first, it was no bigger than a bracelet, but it grew longer in the wind and instantly transformed into a huge golden hoop as thick as a water vat. Countless intricate and profound Dao patterns were engraved on it, emanating a chilling aura that imprisoned all things and suppressed the soul.

The golden hoop was as fast as lightning, and seemed to have a spirit. In a flash, it was already on Jiao Er's ferocious dragon head, and then it tightened suddenly!

"Ugh! What is this?!"

Caught off guard, Jiao Er suddenly felt an irresistible force squeezing his head, followed by an excruciating pain that pierced his very soul.

It let out a mournful howl, its massive dragon body convulsing and tumbling violently in the air, unable to maintain its flight or cast spells any longer. The light of the azure dragon pearl vanished, and it plummeted straight down from the sky. Its body, as if its tendons and bones had been removed, crashed into the sea with a deafening roar, splashing up a huge spray of water. It could only writhe and struggle in the sea in agony, no longer displaying any ferocity.

"Second brother!" The dragon in the air was shocked. It didn't even see how Ma Sui appeared before its brother was struck and fell down.

He was horrified, both shocked and furious, and roared fiercely in the direction where Ma Sui had appeared: "Who are you, you scoundrel! How dare you ambush my Dragon Palace general! State your name!"

The response was not from Ma Sui.

Above the sky, five magnificent and dazzling divine lights, seemingly encompassing the five elements of heaven and earth, suddenly shone brightly. The five colors of red, blue, yellow, white, and black intertwined and flowed, instantly covering the entire sky like an inverted, magnificent celestial river, sweeping down towards Jiao Da.

It was Kong Xuan who made the move; his five-colored divine light could sweep away anything!

The dragon was terrified, feeling the terrifying divine power contained in the divine light. It subconsciously and frantically shook the infinitely powerful black water-controlling flag in its claws, trying to draw upon the essence of Gui water to resist.

However, a scene that terrified it occurred.

The black command flag, which had been invincible and had just raised a thousand-foot wall of water, seemed to lose all its spirituality the moment it was illuminated by the five-colored divine light. The spiritual light on the flag dissipated, and it became dim and dull. The connection between the flag and the command flag was also forcibly severed.

The command flag detached from the claws and transformed into a streak of black light, instead heading towards the source of the five-colored divine light!

"My precious treasure!!!"
