Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 [Yellow River Water Mansion, Bing Yi the Primeval Lord]

Mount Sumeru.

As the dao field of the Western Sect, while Ao Guang went to retrieve an item imbued with Ao Hong’s aura, Jieyin and Zhunti were also discussing matters concerning the Dragon Clan.

"Brother, since we’ve made a move, why not directly capture Ao Hong?"

Zhunti Daoist’s brows furrowed slightly: "The Ancestor Dragon’s Dragon Ball is irrelevant to us! But if we could reconstruct the Innate Dragon Gate and the Dragon Transformation Pond! The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, especially those with diluted bloodlines like the Jiao Dragons, Qiulong, and Li Dragons, will surely compete to join our Western Sect in search of an opportunity to transform their bloodlines! The rise of the Western Sect is just around the corner!"

Jieyin Daoist shook his head: "The Dragon Clan has sole dominion over the Four Seas; how could it be that simple? Some mixed-blood Dragon Clans are not sufficient to bring great prosperity to the West!"

"And as for Ao Hong, with his boundless ambition, he is definitely not one to willingly take a subordinate position. Unless he suffers a significant setback, he probably won’t sincerely join the Western Sect!"

"Let him suffer a setback first then!"

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang, also successfully obtained a Treasure Mirror imbued with Ao Hong’s aura.

"Xuanqing Daoist, it’s all up to you now!"

While there is a sequence to the dao, and specializations within practices, in terms of Transformation time, beings like Candle Dragon and Mirage Dragon might have transformed before the Quasi-Saint Pan King, but when it comes to the art of tracing the origin of cause and effect, and the techniques of tracking down True Spirits, strangling lifeforce, and Curse Killing Primordial Spirits, Pan King, as a latter-day standout, excels by comparison.

"Pan King Pearl!"

Although Xuanqing left the "Pan King Primordial Gu Sword" and "Heavenly Gu Primordial Yuyu Banner" to the "Plague God" incarnation, he still had on him a Treasure Bead condensed from his opponent’s entire cultivation.

This Treasure Bead contained the essence of Pan King’s Great Dao and recorded all his Divine Power techniques.

Among them were several notoriously famous Curse Techniques like the "Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique", "Grassman Soul Worshiping Technique", and the "Divine Five Decays Curse".

"Divine Five Decays!"

Xuanqing immediately channeled mana along with the Treasure Mirror carrying Ao Hong’s aura into the "Pan King Pearl", and at once a faint Curse Power came into being.

"Will this work?"

Ao Guang’s brows furrowed slightly, as he didn’t expect Xuanqing, after all his effort, to produce only such a subtle and undetectable Curse Force, something that wouldn’t even harm a Golden Immortal.

"Don’t worry!"

Xuanqing smiled and said: "I’m not intending to curse Ao Hong to death! I’m just using this Curse Power and the predestined causes and effects to find his whereabouts!"

No sooner had he spoken than he separated a ray of spiritual light, which attached itself to the Curse Power.

In an instant, the Curse Power vanished, and Xuanqing’s consciousness, following the Curse Power, spread throughout all past, present, future, and all spaces and times of the ten directions and three worlds.

The course of cause and effect is elusive and mysterious, but it truly exists; as a Daluo Golden Immortal, Ao Hong’s True Spirit was indelibly marked in Daluo Heaven, leaving traces of his existence in the world.

However, to use Curse Technique for tracking, Xuanqing must be the first since the creation of the world!

"Found him!"

Before long, Xuanqing tracked down Ao Hong’s aura in a Water Mansion, where the other party was merrily toasting and conversing with a being with the head of a dragon and the body of a human.

Suddenly, Ao Hong’s brow furrowed tight as though sensing some danger, a premonition of alarm, but looking around, nothing had happened.

"In the Yellow River Water Mansion!"

In recent times, Xuanqing had closely studied the "Mountain and River Map", so he naturally knew the water domain of the Primordial World where Ao Hong’s water mansion was located.

"Really?"

Ao Guang was somewhat incredulous.

But as soon as Xuanqing’s voice fell, within the Dragon Palace, three powerful Divine Abilities soared to the sky, ripping through the void toward the Yellow River Water Mansion.

Ao Guang, realizing belatedly: "It’s not impossible; if I recall correctly, Bing Yi, who guards the Yellow River Water Mansion, seemed to have had ties with Ao Hong in the past!"

"Then let’s just wait for the good news!"

Xuanqing smiled faintly, put away the "Pan King Pearl", and said to Ao Guang: "With three powerful members of the Dragon Clan making a move, capturing Ao Hong should be as easy as reaching out with their hands!"

Some matters, he did not wish to get too involved in; his purpose in coming to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea was, from beginning to end, for that promised Innate Spiritual Treasure of the Dragon Clan.

...

Yellow River Water Mansion.

For some reason, Ao Hong felt a sense of panic, looking at Bing Yi and saying, "Daoist Bing Yi, can your Sky Concealing Mirror really obstruct the likes of Candle Dragon and others from deducing the Heavenly Mechanism?"

"Rest assured!"

Bing Yi stroked the treasure mirror in her hand, slightly smiling, "My Sky Concealing Mirror is a High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and its greatest function is to conceal the cause and effect of the Heavenly Mechanism! Moreover, during the period of the Mandate of Heaven’s confusion, not to mention Candle Dragon and those old fellows, even the Heavenly Dao Saints are unable to see through everything!"

She too was from the Dragon Clan, though not of the direct lineage. During the time when Ancestor Dragon dominated the Four Seas, she was appointed the Yellow River Water God. Among the Dragon Clan, she was only a marginal figure.

Yet her strength was not to be taken lightly; several eons ago, she succeeded in severing one of her corporal souls and stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm, outperforming Ao Hong by a notch.

She was also one of Ao Hong’s supporters.

"Daoist Ao Hong, why not take out the Ancestor Dragon Pearl? We can comprehend the Great Dao together, how about that?"

Bing Yi giggled seductively, "Once you dominate the Four Seas and rebuild the glory of the Ancient Dragon Clan, becoming the new Dragon Emperor, shall I become your Dragon Empress?"

"Of course!"

Ao Hong agreed immediately.

Right now, he was in need of support, naturally not letting go of Bing Yi’s assistance.

Moreover, given the innate promiscuity of dragons, when she took the initiative, how could he possibly refuse?

"Ao Hong, come out and face your death!"

At the moment their feelings intertwined, an untimely roar came through the void.

"No good, it’s Red Dragon!"

Ao Hong’s face changed drastically, "And Mirage Dragon and Ying Long too, how did they find this place?"

Before he could react, three blazing dragon breaths traversed the endless void, bringing along the power to annihilate everything, fiercely bombarding the great formation of the Yellow River Water Mansion.

Boom!

The formation shattered instantly.

It was a formation casually set by Bing Yi — how could it withstand the power of three capable members of the Dragon Clan?

"We must fight them!"

Ao Hong, of course, was not willing to be captured without a fight. Having acquired the "Ancestor Dragon Dragon Ball," he had broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, and with Bing Yi, also a Quasi-Saint, by his side, it might be possible to escape the pursuit of the Dragon Clan.

Moreover, in his hands, there was a talisman bestowed by Jieyin Saint, which at a critical moment, could be utilized, possibly allowing them to escape into the world opened by Jieyin Saint.

"Kill!"

Ao Hong shouted loudly, pulling out a "Sea Splitting Spear," and Bing Yi took out a "Cold Glass Sword," heading straight outside the Water Mansion towards Red Dragon and the others.

At this point, there was only a desperate fight to be had. What they were doing was tantamount to digging at the root of the Four Seas Dragon Clan — Red Dragon and the others would definitely not let them go.

"Ancestor, you’ve grown old!"

Ao Hong revealed his Quasi-Saint realm, fiercely thrusting his spear towards Red Dragon, "Only I can lead the rise of the Dragon Clan!"

And Bing Yi, with the Ice Dao, conjured thousands of Li Dragons, freezing all worlds, sealing off the void, firmly blocking the path of Ying Long and Mirage Dragon.

Ao Hong was well aware of these old forebears of the Dragon Clan, and he knew that Red Dragon had been seriously injured in the last great battle with Donghuang Taiyi, so he went all out with his first move, targeting the weakest among them.

"Ancestor Dragon Pearl!"

He threw out a barrage of thunderbolts, then immediately offered up the not fully refined "Ancestor Dragon Pearl," placing it above his head, and an invisible dragon majesty instantly swept through the void.

As the leader of all dragons, the Dragon Pearl of the Ancestor Dragon naturally had the power to suppress all dragons.

Red Dragon’s aura couldn’t help but falter.

Meanwhile, Ao Hong took the opportunity to transform into his True Dragon form, swallowed the "Ancestor Dragon Pearl" whole, and, wielding the vast Thunder Sea, charged towards Ying Long and Mirage Dragon with abandon.

"Let’s go!"

He certainly didn’t believe he could slay the two, but he intended to use the power of the "Ancestor Dragon Pearl" to create an opportunity for him and Bing Yi to escape.
