Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 136: The Dragon Clan's Lord, the Innate Enlightenment Tea Tree Comes to Submit

"I have met Zulong."

The moment he saw the sturdy man, Huang Long recognized his identity. This man was the strongest of the dragon clan.

Zulong!

Although during the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, Zulong, Yuanfeng and Shi Qilin destroyed the heaven and earth, causing the entire dragon clan to bear tremendous karma.

Even Huang Long was affected by karma in the beginning. He encountered many obstacles on his way of cultivation. Even the Dao flower found it difficult to bloom, and he almost missed the chance to become a Daluo Jinxian.

However, if there was no Ancestral Dragon, how could the dragon clan have achieved the glory of ancient times?
Even if there hadn't been the dragon and phoenix calamity, I'm afraid the situation of the dragon clan wouldn't have been much better.

After the catastrophe ended, the Ancestral Dragon took on more than half of the karma. While making up for his mistakes, he also gave the dragon clan more living space.

Therefore, Huang Long, like other dragons, does not actually have much resentment towards Zulong.

The Ancestral Dragon brought glory to the dragon clan, so after the Ancestral Dragon was defeated, it was not too much for the dragon clan and the Ancestral Dragon to be punished together.

In addition to recognizing Zulong's identity, Huang Long also truly felt Zulong's cultivation for the first time.

There are many different opinions among the people in the ancient world about the Ancestral Dragon's cultivation level. Some people think that the Ancestral Dragon is equivalent to the current quasi-saint level.

Some people also say that the Ancestral Dragon is actually just a perfect Golden Immortal, and he only relies on the dragon clan's strong physical body and numerous magical weapons, which is why he has that feeling of being difficult to rival.

But Huang Long has always had different ideas from these people.

He was very sure that neither the Golden Immortal nor the Quasi-Saint had the qualifications to destroy the world. Even if the Demon Ancestor secretly intervened, the prehistoric world was not something that a Quasi-Saint could destroy.

It is impossible for a quasi-saint to bear more than half of the dragon clan's karma by himself.

Zulong, Yuanfeng and Shiqilin must have already surpassed the Daluo Jinxian!
Today, seeing Zulong escape from his predicament, Huang Long’s guess was verified.

Zulong is indeed a Hunyuan Golden Immortal!
However, he had been suppressed by tremendous karma for many years, and now that he had escaped, all the merits he had gained were used to cleanse the karma, so his cultivation had not recovered much.

But even so, it is not something that an ordinary quasi-saint can deal with.

Now that the dragon clan has escaped, they have two powerful men, Zulong and Huanglong. Even if the dragon clan's powerful men are like Zulong and their cultivation has not recovered much, they are still a powerful force that cannot be ignored.

Zulong did not respond to Huang Long's greeting immediately. He looked Huang Long up and down, then walked around him twice, and finally patted him on the shoulder, laughing and saying:

"Not bad, not bad. You have the skills and brains, and you know how to be patient. You are much better than me."

"If you were born in ancient times, how could the dragon clan be plotted against by Luohou? He might even fall into your hands."

"I am completely relieved to have the Dragon Clan in your hands."

Huang Long: ???
"Wait a minute? Leave the dragon clan to me? What does that mean? Your Majesty Zulong, you have escaped, haven't you? Although your cultivation has been damaged, it is only a matter of time before you recover to your prime..."

But before Huang Long could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zulong. He widened his eyes, grabbed his messy hair, and yelled:
"I'm already old, and I've been trapped in the Ancestral Dragon Palace for so many years. My cultivation has been severely damaged. Can't I step down and enjoy myself? You're still young, so why not put in a little more effort?"

Huang Long: ...

This doesn’t seem to be the point. This is the position of the dragon clan’s patriarch!
Now that the dragon clan has escaped from trouble, with the dragon clan's foundation and the two powerful men, Zulong and Huanglong, as long as they manage it properly, they will at least be the absolute king of the four seas.

The position of the dragon clan's patriarch is not much inferior to that of the Emperor of Heaven.

Being able to enjoy supreme power and the profound destiny of the dragon clan, both cultivation and opportunities can be greatly improved.

Zulong has just escaped from trouble. If he has the luck of the dragon clan, it will be of great help in recovering his cultivation.

But the first thing they said when they met was that Zulong was going to resign from the position of clan leader and let Huanglong take over. How could he not be surprised?

Whether it was because he was worried that Huang Long would refuse, or for some other reason, Zu Long quickly changed his appearance, drooped his eyes, gently patted Huang Long's shoulder, and said meaningfully:

"I have been trapped for too long now, and coupled with the mistakes I made in ancient times, I am no longer suitable to lead the dragon clan."

"But you are different. Today, when the Heavenly Dao is becoming more and more perfect, you have solved the problem of the Sea Eye under Hongjun's nose and achieved the Hunyuan Fruition."

"With you leading the dragon clan, the dragon clan will not repeat the mistakes of the ancient times and will have a better future."

After saying this, Zulong slightly raised his right eyelid and quietly looked at Huanglong's expression.

Huang Long: ...

Although what you said is true, but you have changed so much and you look guilty. Why do I feel that you simply don't want to be the patriarch?
However, Huang Long was not interested in the position of the Dragon Clan’s leader.

Becoming the patriarch of the dragon clan can indeed gain the clan's luck and make practice more convenient, but one also needs to shoulder corresponding responsibilities and be distracted by more things.

Relatively speaking, he prefers quietness.

Pursuing the great way and planning for the power of the ancient world, this is his true pursuit.

But just as he shook his head, wanting to refuse this, he saw Zulong patting his shoulder heavily, laughing and announcing:
"Since you are silent, I will take it as your consent. From now on, you will be the leader of the Dragon Clan."

"From now on, Your Majesty Huanglong, please let me know if you have any instructions. The Dragon Clan has nothing to hand over, so I will go and resume my cultivation first..."

Zulong blinked at Huanglong, then ran away.

"no……"

Huang Long stretched out his hand to grab Zulong, but missed.

Don't force things like this!
Looking at Zulong who was about to run away, Huang Long didn't know what to say for a moment.

I didn't expect you to be such a Zulong...

However... the monk can escape but the temple cannot, and it is not easy to be a hands-off manager.

Huang Long quickly adjusted his mentality, as he also had some things he wanted to ask the dragon clan to do.

Afterwards, at the instruction of Huang Long, the Dragon King of the East Sea used the innate spiritual treasure, the Shadow Mirror, to project the three Dragon Kings of the West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea.

Huang Long didn't waste any words and gave the order directly:
"There are three things the dragon clan needs to do next."

"First, continue the unfinished task and drive all foreign forces out of the Four Directions Sea Area. Let all the tribes in the prehistoric world know that from now on, the Four Directions Sea Area is the territory of our dragon tribe!"

"Secondly, all the aquatic creatures who betrayed the dragon clan must pay a corresponding price. The lighter ones will be taken as slaves, and the heavier ones will be..."

"Exterminate the clan!"

"Third, send some dragon hands to the Primordial Continent to look for the lost tribesmen. As long as they are willing, bring them back. If there are any obstacles, don't hesitate!"

As for those other races who took advantage of his misfortune, Huang Long did not target them.

As long as these races are not fools, they will come and apologize after seeing the actions of the dragon clan.

Moreover, Huang Long did not intend to make things too difficult for those races that took advantage of the situation, nor did he intend to make enemies with the entire prehistoric world. The last race that was too powerful and dared to make enemies with the whole world, now one was almost exterminated, one was still suppressing the immortal volcano, and the other had just escaped.

The next race that becomes too powerful and dares to be hostile to the world will also meet its end.

It was naturally impossible for Huang Long to allow the dragon clan to continue on this path.

After explaining these three things, Huang Long glanced at the direction where Zulong left, smiled slightly and said:

"In my heart, Zulong is the eternal leader of the dragon clan. No dragon can replace him."

"Don't forget the fact that Zulong is the leader of the Dragon Clan just because of his polite words or my orders."

"If there is anything happening in the Dragon Clan in the future, you must report it to Zulong first. Don't let him down!"

After saying this, Huang Long's body shook slightly, and then he disappeared from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, leaving the four Dragon Kings looking at each other in bewilderment.

“Who should we listen to now?”

The Dragon King of the West Sea shook his head and asked in confusion.

How come there are people vying to push for the position of Dragon Clan leader? Who would believe this if I tell others about it?

It is understandable that Zulong does not want to continue to sit in the position of clan leader. After all, the decisions he made in ancient times almost led to the extermination of the dragon clan.

But why is Huang Long like this too?
The Dragon King of the West Sea couldn't understand why anyone would refuse such a good thing.

You must know that the dragon clan has now escaped from its predicament. Although some of the dragon clan members still have karma, the dragon clan as a group is no longer burdened with karma and is no longer a race despised by heaven and earth.

Becoming the patriarch of the dragon clan, being able to enjoy supreme power and the luck of the dragon clan, normally, shouldn't this be something that a group of people would fight for?

Not only the Dragon King of the West Sea, but the other three Dragon Kings also looked confused.

Regardless of his achievements or cultivation, Huang Long is qualified to become the patriarch of the dragon clan. Besides, Zulong has said so. As long as he nods, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and other members of the dragon clan will not have any objections.

But the result was that after Huang Long explained three things, he told the Four Seas Dragon Kings to find Zulong if they had any problems, and then he ran away...

After a long silence, the Dragon King of the East China Sea sighed and said:
"Since Huang Long is the clan leader now, we should listen to him. We can solve some small issues by ourselves. If we encounter bigger problems, we should first look for His Majesty Zulong. If His Majesty Zulong cannot solve them, we will look for the clan leader."

"That's all we can do..."

The other three Dragon Kings also shook their heads helplessly. They really had no other options.

Fortunately, the dragon race has existed since ancient times and has been suppressed by karma for so many years. They are a very mature race and do not need to ask for instructions on everything.

Even if Zulong and Huanglong both gave up and ran away, nothing unexpected would happen after having a clear direction.

If you really encounter problems that are difficult to solve, you can ask Zulong or Huanglong for help, and they will not make excuses.

Time flies, and before I knew it, three years have passed.

Although Huang Long has now reached the level of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, his understanding of the avenue of space is still insufficient. Currently, he is unable to break through space and quickly travel through the vast world.

However, with the magical power of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, his various magical powers became even more powerful. Now, by using the golden light that flies across the earth, he returned to the Yunmeng Fairy Island from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea in just three years.

"what?"

As soon as Huang Long passed through the mirage and entered the Yunmeng Fairy Island, he saw a lush and green tea tree with a special Taoist charm all over it above the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

After sensing Huang Long's arrival, the tea tree shook slightly, and a piece of tea leaves floated out and fell into his hand. The flattering look on its face was self-evident.

"You are quite patient. You will not show up until I achieve the state of Hun Yuan fruition."

Huang Long took the leaf, swayed his body slightly, and came under the tea tree.

Even though he is now a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, when he stands under this tea tree, he has many insights out of nowhere. If he practices under this tea tree for a long time, his practice will be smoother in the future.

There is only one tea tree in the entire prehistoric world that possesses such efficacy.

This tea tree is the innate top-grade spiritual root——

Enlightenment of the tea tree!

Huang Long once saw many small tea seedlings transformed from the branches of innate enlightenment tea trees in Wuyi Mountain.

At that time, he suspected that the Xiantian Enlightenment Tea Tree might be nearby, or be related to this place, so he left a few drops of Life Source Liquid as bait before leaving.

Unfortunately, the Xiantian Wudao Tea Tree was too cautious. Even though it had arrived near Yunmeng Fairy Island a long time ago, it had never shown up.

It was not until Huanglong achieved the Hunyuan Fruition that he appeared on the Yunmeng Fairy Island.

Among the few top-quality innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric world, the innate enlightenment tea tree is undoubtedly the one that provides the greatest help in cultivation.

It is not like other spiritual roots that can directly improve one's cultivation.

If one's cultivation level is not up to par, consuming too many spiritual fruits will cause an unstable foundation.

But the Enlightenment Tea Tree will not do that. It enhances the perception of the surrounding creatures during the practice process, and taking tea leaves only further deepens the perception.

Therefore, using the Xiantian Enlightenment Tea Tree for cultivation will only continuously increase your spiritual power, and there will absolutely be no unstable foundation.

If you take other innate spiritual fruits in moderation while using the innate enlightenment tea tree for cultivation, not only will your cultivation level improve rapidly, but your cultivation will not fall behind, and your foundation will not be unstable.

Coincidentally, in the orchard of the Yunyin Taoist Temple, there are many innate spiritual roots planted, and there is even an innate top-grade spiritual root - the Huangzhong Plum Tree!
In addition, Huang Long also has the life source liquid on his body, which can increase the age of spiritual roots and accelerate the ripening of spiritual fruits.

With mutual cooperation, the obstacles to cultivation for Huanglong's disciples will be reduced a lot in the future, and the speed of cultivation will be greatly improved.

"Think carefully, if you follow me, you won't be able to leave from now on."

Hua Hua Hua——!
The leaves of the Xiantian Wudao tea tree swayed up and down, expressing their approval in a silent way.

In this case, Huang Long did not hesitate and put it into his sleeve with a wave of his hand, but he did not plant it in Yunmeng Fairy Island.

Guixu has already appeared in the world, and it is time to move the entire Yunmeng Fairy Island away.

Afterwards, Huang Long first came to the Mermaid Palace and asked the Mermaid Queen whether she was willing to follow him.

As early as when Huang Long was still a Daluo Jinxian, the Mermaid Queen had already expressed her willingness to follow him. Now, she agreed without any hesitation.

The Mermaid Queen spent more than sixty years gathering all the mermaids to the Mermaid Palace, and was taken into Huang Long's arms.

The space inside Guixu is extremely huge, and it would be necessary to hire some people to take care of it.

Just when Huang Long returned to Yunmeng Fairy Island and was about to pack up and take Yunmeng Fairy Island away, an unexpected guest arrived.
