Chapter 412: 318: Dragon Clan joins, followed by Practice.
“This time, the Daluo Jinxian Banquet has a wide range of invitations, so it was set on this day, two years later.”
“If you have nothing else to do, you can all disperse.” Xuanqing commanded the crowd.
Upon hearing this,
Everyone bowed and responded, “We will obey Sir’s command and take our leave!”
At this moment,
Just as Ao Moang was about to leave the Great Primordial Hall with the majority of the troops, he was suddenly called back by his master.
“Moang, bring the West Sea Dragon King over.”
Hearing his master’s words, Ao Moang was overjoyed, and he immediately bowed and replied, “Yes, Sir. I will bring Father Emperor right away.”
With that,
Ao Moang transformed into a breeze and flew towards the Divine Realm of the Moat of Black Wind City.
In the Main Hall of Black Wind Mountain, only Xuanqing remained.
He looked at the direction Ao Moang had left in, somewhat curious about what the West Sea Dragon King would want from him on Black Wind Mountain.
After a short while,
He saw two little dragons flying up from the foot of the mountain. Outside the Primordial Hall, they transformed into human forms and walked in.
“Sir, Father Emperor has arrived.” Ao Moang said.
The West Sea Dragon King looked at Xuanqing, who emanated overwhelming majesty, and felt a surge of admiration in his heart. As expected, the Master of the Primordial Beginning had attained the Great Luo Realm.
Now, there was a significant difference between the two in both their status and their personal strength.
Thus,
The West Sea Dragon King didn’t dare to be arrogant and quickly followed his son’s example in respectfully saluting Xuanqing, saying, “The Old Dragon has met the Master of the Primordial Beginning. I wish Sir great fortune and happiness.”
“Hmm.”
Xuanqing nodded slightly and then asked directly, “West Sea Dragon King, I wonder why you have come to my humble Taichu Dojo?”
“I do not wish to hide anything from you, Master…”
The West Sea Dragon King’s eyes swirled as he murmured, “On behalf of the entire West Sea Dragon Tribe, I wish to join the Taichu Dojo. I hope you can accept us.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Plop-
Seeing this,
Ao Moang was shocked to his core.
This… This wasn’t right. It wasn’t like this before. Father Emperor had said that he wanted to cooperate with Sir in order for both parties to benefit, right?
Now, why was Father Emperor kneeling in front of Sir and even saying that he would represent the entire West Sea and join Sir?
Something was off!
At this moment,
Xuanqing was also very surprised, not expecting the West Sea Dragon King to say such things.
After all,
Once upon a time, the Dragon Clan was the largest clan in the world. Even if they have fallen as they have now, they still possess the wealth of the Four Seas, unmatched by others.
To be honest,
Xuanqing felt that although he had established the Taichu Dojo and claimed to rival the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist court,
He knew very well that compared to these established powers, the Taichu Dojo was, at most, a mere ‘Dojo’ in name.
In fact, even the title of ‘Dojo’ was not unique, as there were three other Dojos in the entire Three Realms of the Human Race.
In such a situation,
The West Sea Dragon King actually kneeled before him and said that he represented the entire West Sea Dragon Clan in joining his Taichu Dojo?
“Daoist Friend Ao Run, what do you mean by this?” Xuanqing raised his eyebrows and asked puzzledly.
On the side,
Ao Moang also looked at his Father Emperor with utmost confusion, wanting to hear his explanation for such a decision.
Seeing this,
The West Sea Dragon King’s expression turned serious as he sincerely explained, “At first, I only wanted to cooperate with your Taichu Dojo.”
“However, when you broke through to the Great Luo Realm, everything changed.”
“As far as I know, it took you only a few decades to attain the Great Luo.”
“Under your leadership, I believe that one day, the Taichu Dojo will… develop into a terrifying power like that of the Buddhist Court.”
As he said this,
The West Sea Dragon King paused momentarily, then continued with a sorrowful expression, “Now, the Dragon Clan is in decline, but its foundation is still there, making it a target for all the forces in the Three Realms.”
“Even… Even my third son, Ao Lie, because he possesses the White Dragon Bloodline, was schemed against by the Buddhists, fell into the Quantity Tribulation, and I fear his ending… At best, he will be converted by the Buddhists.”
“Alas!” The West Sea Dragon King sighed deeply at the end of his words.
Ao Moang, standing beside him, also showed a sad expression when he heard the name Ao Lie.’
The Dragon Clan had always been united, and Ao Lie was his third brother. They had grown up together since they were young, and their relationship was very close.
However,
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Ao Lie was taken away and placed at the Snake Coiling Mountain’s Eagle Grief Gorge by Guanyin to await the start of the Quantity Tribulation.
The West Sea Dragon King stared intently at Xuanqing.
“Master of the Primordial Beginning, your Taichu Dojo has immense potential, but it has just started. If aided by the Luck of the Dragon Clan, it will surely rise faster.”
At this moment,
After listening to the West Sea Dragon King’s words,
Xuanqing fell into contemplation.
On the surface, the West Sea Dragon King’s decision to bring the entire West Sea to join him seemed like an excellent opportunity.
However, as an old saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.acquireclinic
If he were to accept the Dragon Clan and enjoy the benefits of their Luck, he would have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
From the current situation… the entire Three Realms were eyeing the Dragon Clan, not just the Buddhists or the followers of Heavenly Court, but also the Jade Emperor and Emperor Haotian.
As for the Buddhists, it didn’t matter. Previously, the Yellow Wind Monster had been defeated, the Venerables killed… and even Manjushri Bodhisattva had barely escaped calamity, with Guanyin almost being annihilated as well..
