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

Chapter 123 A Surprising Harvest!

Ao Bai was very happy to receive the reward and examined it carefully.

[Basic Reward: 23,000 years of cultivation.]

[Special Reward: One Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Refining Jade Talisman.]

[Special Reward: Three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.]

[Special Reward: Any mid-grade innate spiritual root will be upgraded once.]

[Special Reward: One special Grand Luo Golden Immortal-level elixir recipe.]

Ao Bai's face lit up with a wide smile as he looked at the various awards.

This was a huge success, and he didn't have to put in much effort at all.

Having received so many rewards simply by visiting the Sun Star, Ao Bai was indeed not unhappy at all.

"Alright, fellow Daoists, let's work together to deal with the Witch Clan. Once the 100,000-year period is over, let's wipe out the Twelve Ancestral Witches together!"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, laughed heartily, looking as if victory was assured.

Ten thousand years later, the second lecture at Zixiao Palace had ended, marking the most prosperous period of the primordial world.

Cultivators from all sides began to break through, moving from the Great Luo Golden Immortal era to the Quasi-Saint era.

That was the peak of the primordial era.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, believed that after the second lecture at Zixiao Palace, the strength of their demon race would inevitably increase significantly, giving them a greater chance of dealing with the witch race.

It should be noted that the current "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" is already extremely powerful. In the future, when the Dao Ancestor passes on his wondrous methods, the demon race will benefit even more.

On the contrary, the Wu Clan does not cultivate the Path of the Primordial Spirit, so the two lectures at Zixiao Palace are of no help to them. They will only drift further and further away from the cultivators of the Xuanmen lineage.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, we'll take our leave then. See you another day!"

The guide got up and left; they were free to come and go as they pleased, and no one stopped them.

The three brothers, Sanqing, also took their leave, expressing their dissatisfaction with Jieyin and Zhunti.

In Taiqing's view, the three brothers had not yet left, so Jieyin and Zhunti should not have gone first, as this would be disrespectful to them.

The Guide never expected that simply by leaving first, he would leave a bad impression on Taiqing.

However, the Guide Daoist and the Zhunti Daoist were not entirely unaware of this. They had sensed their own opportunity and thus hurriedly set off.

Opportunities are rare and hard to come by; they wouldn't miss their chance just to save face for the Three Pure Ones.

"snort!"

After leaving, Yuanshi Tianzun let out a disdainful snort.

He lacked Taiqing's composure; his dissatisfaction with the two Westerners was written all over his face.

In Zixiao Palace, seniority is the system, and Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti are still after Tongtian. This made Yuanshi Tianzun instinctively think that the three brothers were the senior brothers.

"Second brother, third brother, let's go back. The Witch Clan's 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation' and the Demon Clan's 'Zhou Tian Star Formation' are not things we can deal with."

Taiqing sighed.

The strength of others made him feel very uncomfortable, even restless.

Only by becoming truly powerful can Taiqing feel in control of everything and regain her former composure and confidence.

"Elder brother, both the Lich and Demon races are destined for calamity. As long as the three of us brothers stay in Kunlun Mountain and focus on cultivation and seeking the Dao, it is only a matter of time before we surpass the Lich and Demon races."

Tongtian was full of fighting spirit. He had witnessed the strength of his opponent, but this did not worry him. Instead, it inspired his boundless fighting spirit.

"Without us even lifting a finger, the Lich and Demon races will perish completely, just like the Dragon and Phoenix races did before!"

"This is what Yuanshi Tianzun said."

"Speaking of the dragon race, Ao Feng and his son Ao Bai are quite strong now."

Taiqing said.

Back then, Ao Feng was the first disciple in Zixiao Palace to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and Taiqing treated him with great courtesy.

However, Ao Feng's strength has not improved much, so Tai Qing no longer pays so much attention to him and instead praises Ao Feng and his son.

If his cultivation level hadn't caught up, Taiqing would definitely have been extremely wary of Ao Feng. Now that he has caught up and even surpassed Ao Feng, he feels calm and has a sense of quiet appreciation.

This subtle change in psychology is a true reflection of Taiqing's personality.

"Ao Feng's talent is limited, how can he compare to the three of us brothers? As for Ao Bai, although he has made progress quickly, his strength is far inferior, so he is not worth worrying about."

Yuanshi Tianzun said dismissively.

In his view, there is probably no one who can compare with his brothers now.

Taiqing smiled without saying a word, and Tongtian remained silent.

The three brothers rode the clouds back to Kunlun Mountain.

On the Sun Star, the Demon Emperor Jun left Ao Feng and Ao Bai behind.

"Fellow Daoists, thank you for your help this time."

Emperor Jun of the Demon Emperor said sincerely, unlike the polite formalities of others, Emperor Jun of the Demon Emperor was genuinely thanking them.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, could tell who was truly willing to help.

Donghuang Taiyi nodded, deeply grateful to Ao Bai and Ao Feng.

"Fellow Daoists, please don't be so polite. By the time we received the news, it was already too late, and we were ultimately unable to do much. If it weren't for the Dao Ancestor's arrival, I'm afraid we would have been in a very difficult situation this time."

Ao Feng shook his head and said.

Di Jun sighed:

"How could I not know about this? The Wu Clan's formation is too powerful. Even though I have developed the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation,' I still cannot contend with the Wu Clan."

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was also an exceptionally talented individual. He was able to comprehend such a wondrous formation as the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen," which demonstrates his extraordinary aptitude.

Ao Bai's understanding of the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Great Array" was already quite good, but it was still somewhat inferior to the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array".

"Your Majesty need not worry. The demon race is developing rapidly, while the witch race is surrounded by enemies. When the time comes, as long as Your Majesty is strong enough and you win over like-minded people from all directions, uniting everyone as a disciple of Zixiao Palace, you will be able to contend with the witch race."

Upon hearing Ao Bai's words, Di Jun immediately understood.

If he were to discuss matters with everyone as the Demon Emperor, people might misunderstand that he wanted to unify the prehistoric world.

But inviting everyone as a disciple of Zixiao Palace gives a completely different feeling.

All cultivators in the world originate from the Xuanmen lineage.

Especially after the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, it can be said that apart from the Wu Clan, all other cultivators in the prehistoric world were associated with the Xuanmen (mystical sect).

"Ao Bai is indeed amazing; he hit the nail on the head with just a few words!"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, burst into laughter.

After chatting for a while longer, Ao Feng and Ao Bai got up and left.

After the father and son left, Donghuang Taiyi said:

"Brother, this Ao Bai is no ordinary man. If he grows up, he will likely become a powerful figure in his own right!"

Emperor Jun was slightly taken aback. His own brother was aloof and arrogant, showing no respect to any heroes in the world, yet he was now praising Ao Bai, a junior. This greatly surprised Emperor Jun.

"Second brother is right, but the Witch Clan alone is giving us a huge headache. For now, we have no choice but to join forces with Ao Feng and the others."

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was grateful for Ao Feng and Ao Bai's repeated assistance and harbored no ill will towards them.

Donghuang Taiyi nodded and said:

"As Ao Bai said, if we want to win over the Xuanmen lineage, we still need to become stronger ourselves. The demon race seems to be at its peak now, but its high-end combat power is still lacking. I think it would be better to recruit some more Supremes to join us and control the demon race together!"

Donghuang Taiyi's words made the demon emperor Jun frown.

He had considered these things, but if he did, the impact on the demon race would be enormous.

You should know that everything in the demon race is now decided by these two brothers.

They are brothers, so the power of the demon race is essentially still in their family's hands.

However, if other supreme beings are invited to join, their strength will be enough to rival Taiyi and Dijun. At that time, the demon race may not be entirely under the control of these brothers.

Inviting the Supreme Being is certainly a good thing, but it will also inevitably lead to the loss of power for the demon race.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, was clearly unwilling to relinquish power easily.

However, the demon race is now facing the powerful witch race, and without sufficient benefits, probably no one would be willing to get involved in this mess.

"Second brother, do you mean to use the power and status of the demon race to win over some powerful individuals? But do you have any suitable candidates?"

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, convinced himself that as long as he could defeat the Witch Clan first, he would have plenty of ways to deal with the internal power struggles within the Demon Clan in the future.

Donghuang Taiyi shook his head and said:

"I can't be sure either, but the brother and sister Fuxi and Nuwa of Phoenix Mountain, their temple is in Buzhou Mountain, and they often have some friction with the Wu tribe. Although they have never fought a big battle, I'm afraid that a rift has already developed between the two."

"Furthermore, Fuxi has the world in his heart and shows signs of wanting to realize his ambitions. Nuwa is proud by nature and is not one to be subservient to anyone. The siblings are powerful enough and are also very interested in power and status. I think it's worth a try."

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes were sharp as lightning; his ability to judge people was quite accurate.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, laughed:

"My second brother and I have the same idea. I have also met with Fellow Daoist Fuxi before. He is indeed a man of great talent and ambition, and he is also quite knowledgeable in the art of formations. If we can invite them to come, our demon race will surely become much stronger."

Donghuang Taiyi nodded and replied:

"However, these siblings are not ordinary people after all. If we want to win them over, perhaps only the position of Demon Emperor can sway their hearts."

Di Jun's eyes showed a struggle, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and nodded, saying:

"If we can destroy the Wu tribe, unify the prehistoric world, and have the four emperors rule together, it's not impossible."

For the sake of the greater good, the Demon Emperor Jun was willing to relinquish some of his power.

It now appears that the Witch Clan is their greatest enemy.

The Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi discussed their plans here. They quickly devised a strategy, prepared generous gifts, and quietly headed towards Phoenix Perch Mountain.

At this time, Ao Bai and Ao Feng had returned to Yuanzhou Immortal Island. This war between the Lich King and the Demon King made Ao Bai deeply aware of his own lack of strength. He had no choice but to calm down and prioritize improving his strength.

"I'll use up this reward first; my strength should improve significantly afterward."

Ao Bai began refining innate spiritual treasures. He also had the top-grade innate spiritual treasure and the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus in his possession, so now was a good opportunity to refine them.

After the jade talisman was used, the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus immediately established a connection with Ao Bai.

This top-grade innate spiritual treasure was originally destined for Ao Bai, and now that he has completely refined it, Ao Bai immediately experienced a completely new law.

The Law of Destruction!

It was an extremely violent law of power that even made Ao Bai's heart flutter.

"Although all three thousand laws can prove Hunyuan, there are still significant differences among them."

The Law of Destruction is extremely violent and destructive. From the very beginning of cultivation to the final mastery, it is imbued with terrifying power.

Once one possesses a powerful law of destruction, one will have no fear of conflict on the path to enlightenment.

The Law of Destruction is powerful enough to contend with any other powerful law.

Most importantly, the Law of Destruction is relatively easy to observe. In this primordial world, as long as there is fighting and death, there will be the Law of Destruction.

After refining the twelfth-grade Black Lotus of Annihilation, Ao Bai did not rush to comprehend its laws.

Ao Bai is currently cultivating the Great Dao of Water, and he has no plans to change it for the time being.

The "Ren Shui Immortal Scripture," a cultivation technique at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, can greatly help Ao Bai comprehend the Great Dao of Water, which is why Ao Bai is willing to cultivate the Great Dao of Water.

After all, Ao Bai is an aquatic being, and cultivating the way of water is a great advantage for him.

After carefully putting away the Twelve-Petaled World-Destroying Black Lotus, Ao Bai picked up the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. He now possessed twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Based on 24 stones, he has already collected half of them.

When the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are gathered together, their power is already quite considerable, rivaling that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"The current twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are equivalent to top-grade innate spiritual treasures, but they are the lowest grade among them. If we can collect all twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, then they should be the top-grade innate spiritual treasures."

Ao Bai possessed many innate spiritual treasures, which is why he had a more comprehensive understanding of them.

Twelve-grade world-destroying black lotuses and god-slaying spears are top-grade innate spiritual treasures with extraordinary power.

The Four Seas Flying Dragon Flag is far inferior to the God-Slaying Spear.

With all twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls gathered, their power would far exceed that of twelve.

Even though they are both top-grade innate spiritual treasures, their power varies greatly.

Once Ao Bai collects all thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, it might become a supreme innate treasure.

"It is said that the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was formed after the Chaos Pearl was broken, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Ao Bai had heard some rumors that there was a supreme treasure called the Chaos Pearl in the chaos, which, after being shattered, gave birth to all the pearl-like spiritual treasures in the primordial world.

For example, there are various kinds of precious beads such as the Heaven-Opening Bead, the Earth-Splitting Bead, and the Eye-Piercing Bead.

However, these rumors have no basis and no one can determine whether they are true or false.

"If we want to improve our innate spiritual root, let's start by improving the water element spiritual root."

Ao Bai didn't think too much about it. A mid-grade innate spiritual root wouldn't be of much help to him, so improving either one wouldn't make a difference.

Ao Bai upgraded his Five Elements Water Spiritual Root, which immediately rose to the superior innate level.

A surge of aquatic energy arose, and boundless essence of Gui water gathered, making Ao Bai feel refreshed and invigorated.

Its help to Ao Bai's cultivation became even more obvious.

"Not bad, not bad. The effects of this Five Elements Water Spirit Mushroom are quite obvious. It seems that I really need to focus on cultivating it in the future."

Ao Bai had already discovered the extraordinary nature of the Five Elements Water Spirit Mushroom, especially since it perfectly matched his water element. Now that it has been further enhanced, its effects are naturally multiplied.
