Chapter 469: Chapter 346 [Conflict Without Destruction, Artificial Calamity] (Seeking Subscription)_2

And the Ancestor Dragon dared not be neglectful, directly elevating the Primordial Dragon to a status alongside itself, hoping to raise the Dragon Clan’s prestige even higher.

Then, Cloud Dragon Yun Zhongzi, Sword Dragon Tongtian Sect Master, Rune Dragon Nanji Daoist, and Earth Dragon Zhen Yuanzi also donned disguises to become members of the Dragon Clan.

For a moment, the Dragon Clan’s fame was unrivaled, displaying a number of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals that surpassed even those of the Human Race and Demon Clan.

"Where did so many Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals come from?"

At this point, other Saints, no matter how dull, finally caught on!

It was impossible for so many Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals to suddenly appear out of nowhere in the Primordial World; these Dragon Clan powerhouses were most likely the disguises of certain Saints!

This move piqued the interest of other Saints as well. If the Dragon Clan could play this way, then why couldn’t they also try something similar?

Who doesn’t have a few disguises?

After Fu Xi deduced the Heavenly Mechanism Cause and Effect, he immediately joined Nuwa, under the disguises of Xi Huang and Wa Huang, becoming a high-profile part of the Phoenix Clan!

Minghe saw this and was intrigued; the more disguises the better, naturally, and the next day, the Phoenix Clan was joined by a presence known as Ming Huang.

Immediately after, another disguise of Yuanshi Tianzun also took on the name Yuan Huang and joined the Phoenix Clan, instantly elevating the Phoenix Clan’s prestige.

"The Dragon Clan already has so many Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals; the Phoenix Clan can’t fall too far behind, I must find a way to give them a boost!"

Yuanshi Tianzun had a plan, directly contacting Taiqing Laozi and Xuanqing, so the next day, the Phoenix Clan gained two more Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals.

One named Li Huang!

Another named Dan Huang!

Seeing the actions of the various Saints, Luo Hou also formed some peculiar thoughts. Since many Saints were deliberately using the Dragon and Phoenix Clans’ struggle to test other Saints and perfect their own Great Dao, he took the initiative to fuel the fire, joining the Phoenix Clan as the Heavenly Phoenix under the guise of the Heavenly Lord.

"Trouble!"

"Who is trying to harm my Dragon Clan?"

Watching the constant emergence of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals in the Phoenix Clan, the Ancestor Dragon was actually quite afraid; it was obvious someone intended to use the Phoenix Clan as a proxy to compete with the Dragon Clan and simultaneously probe other Saints’ powers.

Though many Saints integrated into the Dragon Clan, causing their fortune to soar and accelerating the completion of his Dragon Dao Fruit, such conspicuous actions nonetheless invited the envy of many Saints.

On the path of enlightenment, besides advancing oneself rapidly, one can also slow others down; others’ setbacks equate to one’s advancement.

The Ancestor Dragon understood this principle.

With this thought, he immediately decided to drag the Primordial Qilin and the Qilin Clan into this mess as well.

He even enlisted Yuanshi Tianzun’s assistance.

Thus, the next day, the Qilin Clan suddenly appeared with an Ancestor Qilin, a Primordial Qilin, a Five Virtues Qilin, and a Cloud Qilin.

The mysterious Ancestor Qilin was naturally the Ancestor Dragon’s disguise, while the Primordial Qilin and Five Virtues Qilin were respectively the disguises of Yuanshi Tianzun and Yun Zhongzi.

As for the Cloud Qilin, it was the incarnation of Yun Xiao, entrusted by Yuanshi Tianzun to elevate the prominence of the Primordial Qilin and the Qilin Clan even higher.

The Dragon Clan was stirring up trouble, and the Phoenix Clan was not idle; to uncover the intentions of the Qilin Clan, Kong Xuan immediately disguised himself as the Five Elements Qilin and integrated into the Qilin Clan.

Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe, among others, also participated one after another, and as the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans openly and secretly contended, Xuanhuang Qilin and Yellow Spring Qilin also took the stage.

At this moment, the situation was extremely delicate, especially with Yuanshi Tianzun and Minghe, who had their disguises in all three clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin.

Primordial Dragon, Yuan Huang, Primordial Qilin...

Blood Dragon, Ming Huang, Yellow Spring Qilin...

Although the Saints in the Primordial World focused on cultivating a particular Great Dao, the Great Daos they mastered were not few; unless their true fire was unleashed, ordinary means truly couldn’t unmask their disguises!

Thus, an unprecedented chaos ensued in the Primordial True Realm, with each Saint wearing the disguises of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans continually probing, calculating, causing trouble, and honing their own Great Dao.

Even if deduced by others, they would deny their identity to death, and other Saints would have no means to force them out.

"Kill!"

Especially Minghe, under his disguise, he acted with impunity, sometimes killing a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal of the Phoenix Clan under the guise of Blood Dragon, sometimes severely injuring a Saint of the Qilin Clan as Ming Huang, and sometimes engaging in a deadlocked battle with the Dragon Clan’s Great Sun Celestial Dragon as Yellow Spring Qilin.

He practiced the Killing Great Dao and most desired combat, the mountains of corpses and sea of blood, whether by killing others or being killed, all greatly benefited him, allowing the Killing Great Dao to progress leaps and bounds.

Soon, Jieyin Daoist also joined this grand brawl, cultivating the Silent Annihilation Great Dao; being killed only heightened his comprehension of the Silent Annihilation Great Dao.

Kunpeng was the same, using Dream Dao to refine false into true, crafting several disguises for himself, today targeting this Primordial Daluo, tomorrow switching disguises to confront another Saint.

A strange consensus emerged among the Saints – scheming against each other was permissible, but deliberately exposing another Saint’s disguise was definitely not allowed.

While enlightenment and cultivation indeed elevated Dao Heng, it was ultimately not as effective as personal practice in sharpening one’s Dao Fruit through other Saints’ Great Daos.

A dead calm, without ripples – not what the Saints wanted to see.

Likewise, a desperate melee, suffering losses, entangling with cause and effect – nor was this desired by the Saints.

Fight, but do not destroy!

This was what they wished for!

Using one’s identity for open conflict inevitably tears the facade, but under disguise, the Saints had much fewer concerns!

Hongtian Taoist did not participate; he was now trying to cultivate the Mythical System, intending to evolve the Earth Dao through the identity of Earth Lord.

Although Luo Hou sent an incarnation into the Phoenix Clan, he cautiously refrained from rash actions, fearful of accidentally revealing his identity.

The Saints tacitly centered their calculations and struggles around the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans.

Whichever clan weakened, they would support it, and that clan would suddenly see several more Primordial Daluo emerge, correcting the imbalanced situation back.

Therefore, the Primordial World, though fraught with conflict, remained relatively stable.

However...

The Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Primordial Qilin were not so pleased!

While numerous Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals constantly joined their ranks under various disguises, boosting the fortunes of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans and aiding in their Dao Fruit’s perfection, it also resulted in significant losses.

On this day, the Ancestor Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Primordial Qilin gathered once more, and apart from them, no other Saint Battle Power participated!

Primordial Qilin first complained, "Ancestor Dragon Daoist, you’ve dug us a massive pit!"

The Ancestor Dragon naturally would not voluntarily bear this burden and immediately retorted coldly, "Primordial Qilin Daoist, it wasn’t me who had you accept other Saints! If you had no intentions, how would other Saints find the opportunity to join the Phoenix and Qilin Clans under disguise?"

Yuan Feng responded irritably, "As the leader of a clan, one must naturally consider one’s own tribe. Would Ancestor Dragon Daoist, gazing upon my Phoenix Clan or Qilin Clan, seeing several Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals emerge at once, still remain so... indifferent?"

Even knowing there was a pitfall, they had to jump. If the Dragon Clan was allowed to grow unchecked, who knew if the Ancestor Dragon might calculate against them?

The heart that harms others must be nonexistent, but the heart that guards against others must inevitably exist; as a leader of a clan, even with the slightest possibility, they had to prevent and curb it, nipping it in the bud.

The Ancestor Dragon was helpless, sighing, "But the current situation is beyond our control, I cannot make those Saints stop!"

Now he too found it hard to stop; most Saints were invited by him, and he couldn’t directly kick their disguises out of the Dragon Clan.

Yuan Feng and Primordial Qilin were the same.

"So what now?"

Primordial Qilin was worried, "Are we just going to let them treat the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans like monkeys?"

"I might have an idea!"

Yuan Feng suddenly spoke up, "Internal troubles persist because there’s no external threat. In the past, when fierce beasts wreaked havoc in the Primordial World, didn’t the Three Clans briefly cooperate?"

The Ancestor Dragon’s eyes lit up at this, "Daoist’s idea is that we manufacture an external enemy ourselves? Let the Primordial Saints go after them?"

"Exactly!"

Yuan Feng nodded, "With our power, creating a race isn’t difficult. Why not join forces and let the Fierce Beast Clan re-enter the stage of the Primordial World?"

On the grand stage of the Primordial World, life must persist; as the Primordial World continued evolving, Yuan Feng, Ancestor Dragon, and Primordial Qilin thoroughly let loose!

In the absence of fierce beasts, they created them themselves, if only to keep the Saints from harassing them further!
