Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now.

“That makes sense!” Ao Qin nodded and left the East Sea Dragon Palace first.

Like the former, Ao Run and Ao Shun left the East Sea Dragon Palace and returned to their own sea area.

For them, their elder brother was merely there to guide them, not to actually see the true face of His Majesty the First Emperor.

It's more reliable to let my older brother handle these dirty and tiring jobs.

A moment later.

Ao Guang slowly stopped, and Shen Du also steadied himself, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

"That is?"

There stood a piece of divine iron, rusty and corroded, not far from the eye of the East China Sea. On the rusty iron, the five characters "Ruyi Jingu Bang" (the golden cudgel of Ruyi) were faintly engraved.

"Your Majesty, this is a treasure left behind in the East Sea by Yu the Great when he was controlling the floods. It was used to suppress the tides and waves of the East Sea."

Upon hearing this, the god withdrew his gaze.

It's just the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a magical treasure acquired through merit, so it's not very useful to him.

Moreover, this magic staff will also be the weapon of Sun Wukong, the future protagonist of Journey to the West.

If we were to take away this Ruyi Jingu Bang now, it would likely cause quite a bit of trouble.

Fate has ordained the owner of this divine iron, and so has the will of Heaven.

Taking it will only cause unnecessary trouble.

"Ao Guang, do you know where the First Emperor is?!"

Shen Du looked around the East Sea Eye but did not see the figure of the Ancestral Dragon.

According to Donghuang Taiyi, the First Dragon suppressed the eye of the East Sea.

Therefore, it should also be near the East China Sea eye.

But after searching for so long, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of the First Emperor.

This is rather strange.

Could it be that old bastard Donghuang Taiyi is lying to me?

That doesn't make sense!

They're all in the same boat now, so there's no reason for them to deceive themselves.

While pondering, Ao Guang smiled, pointed to the whirlpool that was constantly drawing in seawater, and said, "Your Majesty, please look here!"

Upon hearing this, the gods followed the direction Ao Guang pointed and saw only a bottomless ocean whirlpool.

However, as the gods used their profound magical powers to observe the movement of the vortex, they instantly discovered a mystery.

"Is this vortex a vast world within itself?"

Shen Du sensed an aura deep within the vortex that was identical to the origin of the three Great Thousand Worlds he held, and was somewhat puzzled.

How could a tiny whirlpool be the entrance to a vast world?!

In response to the question from the capital, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Ancestral Dragon is waiting for you inside!"

Having received a clear answer, Shen Du was no longer afraid of any trickery and directly entered the depths of the vortex. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in a completely new world.

As far as the eye could see, the roar of dragons echoed between heaven and earth, and countless dragons roamed this vast world.

"Is this the Great Thousand World belonging to the Dragon Clan!?"

Shen Du's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected that the bloodline of every dragon here was identical to that of the Four Seas Dragon Kings outside.

Unfortunately, they are tainted with more or less karmic burdens. If these karmic burdens are not eliminated, the future of these dragons will be limited to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and they will never be able to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Fellow Daoist, please come here."

Just as Shen Du was sighing, a majestic voice rang in his ears, its majesty no less than that of the Donghuang Taiyi he had first met.

His eyes flickered slightly, and in just a moment, he locked onto the source of the sound.

“Alright!” Shen Du replied.

Then, they headed straight for the Dragon Palace built above the clouds.

A moment later, Shendu slowly stepped into the Dragon Palace, which was filled with endless dragon might. He vaguely felt a trace of submission in the very essence of his bloodline.

However, this hint of submission quickly dissipated, replaced by the endless true fire of the sun above the origin of the divine capital.

The true fire burned away the dragon's might, and neither side would yield to the other.

The origin of the bloodline is that the Ancestral Dragon is the origin of all dragons in the world.

The true fire of the sun originated from Pangu's eyes, and the two are essentially at the same level.

As soon as he stepped into the palace, Shen Du's eyes fell upon a person wearing a golden robe. There were no other elaborate decorations, just the robe itself.

The robe was also engraved with lifelike dragon patterns, as if one could hear the roar of dragons upon seeing it, which would awe all living beings in the world.

"The Ancestral Dragon!"

Shen Du spoke calmly. If it were in the past, without the blessing of human fortune, he probably would have found it difficult to calm his excitement upon seeing the Ancestral Dragon.

However, now, as long as humanity awakens, he will be one of the three great rulers of the primordial world.

The two are of the same generation.

In the primordial world, no matter how ancient, status was determined by cultivation level.

The law of the jungle prevails over the weak, and the wise are teachers; this is the ultimate truth.

"I understand why you've come."

Upon hearing this, Shen Du looked completely bewildered.

He said nothing, so how did the First Emperor know?!

Could it be that the other party has the ability to foresee the future?!

The First Emperor slowly spoke, “I once longed for the revival of humanity, from the Heavenly Emperor, Earthly Emperor, Human Emperor, the Five Emperors, and even the last Human Emperor, Xin.”

"I yearn for them, as humans, to awaken the dormant humanity that has been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao!"

"Unfortunately, Emperor Xin, who had the greatest hope, failed to live up to the expectations of humanity and lost to the will of Heaven in the Investiture of the Gods!"

"However, it's not too late now. Humanity can be restored as long as it is restored!"

"I, the Ancestral Dragon, can help you win the war between the celestial beings and the human race!"

"I agree to your request!"

Before he could even utter a word, the Ancestral Dragon agreed immediately. So this persuader could retire now. What was his purpose in coming to see the Ancestral Dragon then?!

It would be better to stay on the Moon.

"Fine," Shen Du sighed helplessly, looking at Zu Long and asking, "May I ask, Brother Zu Long, how did you know the purpose of my visit?"

Faced with this question, Zulong did not hesitate at all and readily said, "Of course, it was that old codger Yuanfeng who told me through telepathy!"

"You are going to fight against the heavens, to make the earth reclaim its power, and to revive humanity. As one of all living beings, how can we sit idly by and do nothing!"

"Moreover, as long as we win this great battle, our three races will be able to appear proudly in the primordial world!"

Having learned the whole story, the gods were speechless.

Donghuang Taiyi is too fast; he persuaded Yuanfeng to agree to participate in the war between heaven and man so quickly.

Furthermore, Yuan Feng, Zu Long, and Shi Qilin—these three individuals who once fought tooth and nail for the fate of heaven and earth and the position of protagonists—actually have a way of communicating?!

Moreover, judging from Zu Long's tone, it was as if he were joking with an old friend.

It's hard to imagine how close the three ancestors were during the distant Longhan period, yet their relationship was broken by certain factors.

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Zulong!"

The matter was settled, and even the gods themselves didn't need to waste any more words.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist Shen Du, when the war between heaven and man begins, I, the Dragon Clan, will send the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas with the Dragon Clan's army to help you fight against the heavens!"

"However, what are your plans to do about the puppets on the Heavenly Dao's side?!"

The first part is understandable, but what does the second part mean?

"I wonder what you mean by the Heavenly Dao Puppet that Brother Zulong mentioned?"

Zu Long said without any hesitation, "Those Heavenly Dao puppets are none other than those Heavenly Dao Saints!"

"Its primordial spirit is reliant on the Heavenly Dao; isn't it merely a puppet of the Heavenly Dao?!"

"Without the blessing of Heaven, I could kill them with a single slap!"

"However, even with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, I can still fight one of the puppets to a standstill!"

The puppet of Heaven's Way is actually a Heavenly Sage; at this moment, even the gods understood.

But, you, Zulong, can fight on equal terms with the Heavenly Dao Saint, which is quite perplexing to the gods.

Can a peak-level Hunyuan Golden Immortal fight to a standstill against a Heavenly Dao Saint who is a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal?

This doesn't seem right, does it?!

But seeing how brimming with confidence Zu Long was, even the gods were starting to believe it.

Chapter 267 The Three Ancestors' Heaven-Defying Birth, the Demon Saint Arrives at Qilin Cliff

"Brother Zulong, a Heavenly Dao Saint, though a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, you are only at the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. It has been said that all those below the Saint level are mere ants. You..."

Shen Du looked him up and down, but he didn't think that Zu Long had any right to make such a wild statement.

The reason why a Heavenly Sage is a sage is because he possesses an immortal primordial spirit and can draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao, making his magical power inexhaustible in the primordial world.

If they were to fight in the primordial world, even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal might not be able to defeat a Heavenly Dao Saint. However, in the chaotic land outside the primordial world, a Heavenly Dao Saint is nothing more than something a Grand Luo Golden Immortal can easily manipulate.

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon laughed wildly, "I am the Lord of the Dragon Clan, the origin of the Dragon Clan!"

"In the primordial world, isn't there a title for the number one person below the sage?!"

"If this were our time, my strength would have surpassed countless powerful beings, making me the number one person below the Saint!"

"For example, the Demon Ancestor and the one who merged with the Dao with their bodies, if they joined forces, they might be able to defeat me in a single blow!"
