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

Chapter 66 Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, Conferred the Title of Eastern Pole Saint Lord

When the Dao Ancestor Hongjun attained enlightenment in the primordial world, boundless spiritual energy surged between heaven and earth, bathing countless living beings and allowing all the beings of the primordial world to benefit from his influence.

Ao Bai actually obtained a wisp of Heavenly Dao merit aura in the Henghe Water Palace.

This surprised Ao Bai, who had been forced to join the three-race battlefield, yet he received a reward for his merits.

"The Heavenly Dao wanted to destroy my dragon clan, but now it's rewarding me with merit. How ironic."

Ao Bai shook his head helplessly. Without sufficient strength, he was powerless to resist.

Especially since Hongjun Laozu has already attained enlightenment, his position is even more unshakeable.

The rule of Heaven has officially begun.

After attaining enlightenment, Hongjun Daozu did not appear in public but chose to continue his seclusion.

Having just attained enlightenment, this is the perfect time to consolidate one's cultivation, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not miss such a good opportunity.

As for the strange phenomena in the world, he only glanced at them, showing no sorrow or joy, and remained completely unmoved.

After attaining sainthood, Hongjun Daozu's state of mind was even more different from before.

Whether it was due to the merging of the three corpses into one or the complete fusion of the Primordial Purple Qi, the current Dao Ancestor Hongjun was even more indifferent, as if nothing could arouse his interest.

Now, all that Hongjun Daozu cares about is cultivation and seeking the Dao.

Ao Bai felt an increasing sense of urgency. He knew that time was running out and he had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Just after Hongjun Daozu attained enlightenment, he unexpectedly arrived at the East Sea Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Clan was completely surprised by Hongjun's arrival.

It should be noted that the Dragon Clan and Hongjun did not have much interaction. Even during the great war between the three clans, the Dragon Clan only unintentionally fought against the Demon Clan while dealing with the Qilin Clan, which did not count as a relationship.

After all, the Dragon Clan had no intention of helping Hongjun at that time.

"Welcome, Ancestor!"

Sensing Hongjun's aura in the East Sea, Yinglong immediately led all the creatures of the East Sea to greet him.

This is the number one sage in the primordial world, an absolutely invincible being. Who would dare to disrespect him?

Ancestor Yinglong looked at Hongjun. According to the timeline, he and Hongjun were cultivators of the same generation. However, Hongjun was now a Heavenly Saint, while Yinglong was only a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

When compared side by side, the difference immediately becomes apparent.

Yinglong could roam freely in the primordial world, but in front of Hongjun, the ancestor, he could only be subservient.

"Fellow Daoist Yinglong, there's no need for such formalities!"

Hongjun's face remained calm. He was now a Heavenly Saint, holding a high position and great power, ruling over all directions. Any living being would show him respect.

Therefore, although Hongjun spoke politely, Yinglong dared not be careless in the slightest.

Beside him, Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon, was equally respectful.

"I've come here today to discuss something with everyone."

Hongjun Laozu said that he had been cultivating in Yujing Mountain for many years, and he would never come to the Dragon Clan unless there was something urgent.

However, the dragon race has long since declined and is no longer the powerful race it once was. What could someone like Hongjun Patriarch possibly need to discuss with the dragon race?

For a moment, Yinglong and Qinglong were both confused, but they dared not disobey Hongjun.

"We will do our utmost to fulfill any request from our ancestor!"

Yinglong was quite willing to establish a relationship with Hongjun and serve him. After all, countless cultivators wanted to be close to Hongjun, and now that Hongjun had taken the initiative to come to him, Yinglong was naturally very happy.

Hongjun laughed:

"Now that the primordial world has just been established, and several great calamities have erupted, causing the world to be in turmoil and the four poles to be restless, I wish to select four beings on behalf of the Heavenly Dao to suppress the four poles and serve as the Four Holy Lords to assist the primordial world in its growth."

Hongjun's purpose in coming here was actually to establish the Four Supreme Rulers.

After experiencing several great calamities, the prehistoric world was already scarred, especially after the conflict between the demonic and magical paths, which caused the western lands of the prehistoric world to collapse and the world to be in turmoil.

If the Four Supreme Rulers cannot be established as soon as possible, the prehistoric world will likely become even more dangerous in the future.

After understanding Hongjun's purpose, the Dragon Clan felt somewhat relieved.

"It is our honor to contribute to the primordial world, but we wonder what responsibilities we will have after becoming one of the Four Supreme Saints?"

Yinglong is now in charge of the Dragon Clan, and he cannot leave the Dragon Clan, so he needs to find out his responsibilities in advance. If he can stay in the East Sea, that would be the best outcome.

However, if it requires overseas assignment, then it becomes a bit of a dilemma.

The dragon race was already in a precarious situation, and once they lost Yinglong's support, their situation became even more difficult.

Hongjun naturally knew about the situation of the Dragon Clan, and he nodded and said:

"As a Holy Ruler of the Four Extremes, one must personally guard the Four Extremes and can only move within a certain area of ​​the Four Extremes. One cannot leave. However, as long as one becomes a Holy Ruler of the Four Extremes, one will be protected by the Heavenly Dao's fortune, and both oneself and one's clan will benefit from it."

Hongjun Laozu knew what the Dragon Clan wanted, so he made his intentions very clear.

"Moreover, as one of the Four Extremes Saintly Sovereigns, one will exist alongside the primordial world, immortal and indestructible, and one's cultivation will be directly elevated to its limit, comparable to a Primordial Golden Immortal. If the primordial world advances further in the future, the Four Extremes Saintly Sovereigns can transcend the mortal realm and directly enter the Primordial Realm!"

A Primordial Golden Immortal!

Hongjun's words shocked Yinglong and Qinglong. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

For millions of years, Zulong led the dragon race in their struggle for supremacy, and countless members of his race died. Unfortunately, he could only ascend to the level of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal before his death.

As for the Primordial Grand Luo, it is simply out of reach.

However, now, as long as one becomes one of the Four Extremes Saints, one can ascend to heaven in one step and become an existence comparable to a Primordial Golden Immortal!

Even if they grow up in the primordial world in the future, they will be able to directly achieve Hunyuan and surpass Hunyuan!

At this moment, Ancestor Yinglong was indeed tempted.

However, after becoming the Four Extremes Saint King, Yinglong would have to leave the Dragon Clan and guard the Four Extremes, which contradicts Yinglong's original intention.

However, if they refused Hongjun Laozu, they would seem rather ungrateful.

Such a good thing, and the ancestor Hongjun himself came. If your Dragon Clan doesn't go, wouldn't you be too ungrateful?

Just as Yinglong was in a dilemma, Qinglong said from the side:

"Ancestor, Yinglong is the new patriarch of our Dragon Clan. He needs to handle all the affairs of the clan at all times. If he goes to the Four Extremes, I'm afraid the Dragon Clan will be thrown into chaos again. I, Meng Zhang, am willing to go in Yinglong's place, but I don't know if the Ancestor would approve of me?"

Upon hearing Qinglong Mengzhang's words, Hongjun also turned his gaze to him.

Azure Dragon Meng Zhang is quite powerful and calm and low-key. If he were to become one of the Four Extreme Saints, it would be a good choice.

Hongjun nodded and replied:

"Fellow Daoist Meng Zhang, you are too kind. Your strength is unparalleled in the primordial world. If you could become one of the Four Extreme Saint Lords, that would be the best outcome. Today, I hereby appoint you as the Azure Dragon Saint Lord of the Eastern Extreme, to guard the Eastern Extreme region. You may establish your own residence and recruit divine messengers."
