Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 54 The Dragon Clan's Might Unlocks the Fusion of the Innate Treasure!

"Brother Tongtian doesn't know the cost of living until he's in charge. The Heavenly Court is too big. Just maintaining its operation has exhausted us brothers. Not to mention, there are those Wu tribes from Buzhou Mountain constantly causing trouble."

Tongtian, Dijun, and Donghuang Taiyi exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting down to business.

Di Jun, taking his time, asked, "May I ask, Brother Tongtian, what brings you here today?"

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were well aware of the Kunlun Three Pure Ones' attitude of remaining uninvolved.

Therefore, there must be something going on when they come to his Heavenly Court this time.

Tongtian did not answer Dijun's question directly, but instead changed the subject.

"I've heard that in recent years, you two fellow cultivators have been trying to bring the Dragon Clan under the control of the Heavenly Court?"

Di Jun readily admitted, "That's right. The Witch and the Demon are like fire and water, while the Dragon Clan has a deep foundation. If we have the help of the Dragon Clan, our chances of winning the great war against the Witch Clan will be much greater."

Tongtian sighed and waved his hand, "I'm afraid this idea of ​​yours won't work."

"What does Brother Tongtian mean by this?"

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi both looked puzzled.

Do you know about the Candle Dragon?

"I know, he was the younger brother of the Ancestral Dragon. During the Dragon-Han Calamity, he fought for the Dragon Clan across the four seas and eight wastelands. It is said that his cultivation reached the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal, which was very powerful. However, in recent years, there have been rumors that Zhulong has already perished."

"What fall? Those are all rumors. In fact, not only did he not fall, but..."

Tongtian abruptly stopped speaking at this point.

"Oh? We'd like to hear the details."

Emperor Jun and Emperor Taiyi immediately became interested.

According to information gathered by their intelligence organization.

Zhulong did not die, but he was seriously injured.

His strength has now fallen below that of a Quasi-Saint, posing no threat whatsoever to his grand plan for the Heavenly Court.

But now Tongtian says that not only did Zhulong not perish, but there seem to be other circumstances.

According to Tongtiandao, "It is true that Zhulong was seriously injured during the Dragon-Han Calamity."

"But the Dragon Clan has a great treasure that healed Zhulong's injuries. Now, Zhulong's strength has recovered to 88-99%, making him a late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal, which is also a late-stage Quasi-Saint."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi immediately sensed that something was amiss.

"Brother Tongtian, did you come to my Great Luo Heaven today just to say these things?"

Tongtian continued to wave his hand, "The matter is like this. I recently took in a new disciple, a direct descendant of the Dragon Clan. Because the Dragon Clan could no longer tolerate your Heavenly Court's incursions, I was sent here to represent the Dragon Clan and negotiate peace with the Heavenly Court."

Of all the words spoken by the Tongtian Cult Leader, nine parts were true and one part were false; it was almost impossible to distinguish between them.

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's faces grew more solemn.

If Tongtian were to come alone to negotiate peace between the Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan, the initiative would still remain in the hands of the Heavenly Court.

If you want to give Tongtian some face, just agree.

If they don't want to sell, they can simply refuse. The Three Pure Ones of Kunlun might not necessarily antagonize the Heavenly Court over this matter.

But if we add to that Tongtian's claim that Zhulong's injuries have fully healed, then things could get a little bad.

The Heavenly Court is now a large and powerful entity, but a great cultivator in the late Quasi-Saint stage has already gained the right to engage in dialogue with the Heavenly Court on an equal footing.

If Zhulong were still alive, the Heavenly Court would have a long and arduous road ahead if it wanted to incorporate the dragon race.

However, the words spoken by Tongtian alone may not be true.

They need to verify whether it's true or false first.

As for how to verify it, they naturally have their own methods.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi exchanged a glance, already having a plan in mind.

Di Jun stood up, cupped his hands to Tongtian, and said, "Brother Tongtian, I am busy with state affairs, so please excuse me for a while."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Tongtian waved his hand dismissively, not caring at all.

After leaving the Demon Emperor's Palace, Di Jun casually arrived at the Great Luo Heaven and summoned the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, to begin his calculations.

The Hetu and Luoshu originated from the countless stars in the primordial sea and contain endless mysteries.

Using this treasure as the core, an unparalleled grand formation, the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation, can be formed.

At the same time, the Hetu and Luoshu are supreme treasures for deduction, which can be used to deduce all existing things in the nine heavens and ten earths.

Right now, Di Jun is using the Hetu Luoshu to deduce the situation of Zhulong.

His gaze sharpened, and he forced out a drop of the Golden Crow's original blood, which then merged into the River Chart and Luo Book.

For ordinary cultivators, the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams themselves are sufficient for deduction.

However, even for Di Jun, it would take a drop of his life essence to deduce the existence of a once supreme being like Zhulong.

The essence of his heart's blood dripped into the Hetu Luoshu, and the Hetu Luoshu suddenly shone brightly, with endless starlight instantly engulfing everything.

A bright, starlight-like thread appeared on the Hetu Luoshu.

Then it crosses the Great Luo Heaven and extends towards the East Sea.

After a long while, the light on the Hetu Luoshu finally faded, and a thoughtful expression appeared on Di Jun's face.

"It seems Tongtian wasn't lying to me; Zhulong's injuries have actually healed."

That's right. The Hetu Luoshu hexagrams just now show that Zhulong's cultivation, although not yet back to its peak, is not far off.

To subdue the Dragon Clan, one must face a powerful cultivator at the late Quasi-Saint level. Even the Heavenly Court would have to think this through carefully.

Soon, Di Jun returned to the Demon Emperor's Palace. After exchanging glances with Donghuang Taiyi, he slowly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is truly well-informed. If it weren't for Brother Tongtian informing us, with that Zhulong around, it would have been much more difficult for our Heavenly Court to subdue the Dragon Clan."

"However, even without the Candle Dragon, for the sake of Brother Tongtian, it's best not to attack the Dragon Clan."

Tongtian couldn't help but smile knowingly. If Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi could say that, it meant that the Dragon Clan's crisis had been resolved.

But soon, Di Jun asked again, "If a great war breaks out between my demon race and the witch race in the future, would you, Brother Sanqing, help the witch race?"

Tongtian said solemnly, "The Three Pure Ones of Kunlun only wish to cultivate themselves in seclusion on Kunlun Mountain and pursue the Great Dao. They are not interested in the struggle between the Wu and Yao races. Of course, if a great war breaks out between the two races in the future, we will not help the Wu race."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi smiled with satisfaction.

The combined power of the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun is truly immense.

Helping either side is a devastating blow to the other.

Now that they have received a satisfactory answer, a huge weight has been lifted off their shoulders.

Soon, Tongtian took his leave and departed from Daluotian.

Meanwhile, on an isolated island off the coast of the East China Sea.

Inside a huge cavern opened by magic.

Zhao Gongming was extremely calm as he placed all thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls on the stone platform.

Thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls appeared simultaneously, and an incredibly powerful suction force emanated from each of them.

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls have been separated for hundreds of millions of years, and their origins have become unfamiliar.

But at this moment, that immense sense of unfamiliarity was receding at an extremely rapid pace.
