Chapter 128 The Great Tribulation Ends, All Races Swear an Oath
"By the Heavenly Dao above, we, the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, hereby swear that we will use our own strength to mend the rules of the primordial world, giving our all until we have repaid the boundless karma that our dragon race has created in the past! We hope that the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Venerable will approve!"
As the resounding, awe-inspiring voice of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon slowly faded away...
Their bodies slowly became transparent at that moment.
Seeing this, the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon were not flustered; instead, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
As descendants of the Ancestral Dragon, they already felt guilty for not being able to help much during the previous great calamity.
Now that their father is dead, as the descendants of the Ancestral Dragon, they must preserve the dragon race for their father no matter what.
This was their only wish.
As time passed, the figures of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon became increasingly transparent, eventually slowly dissipating into the air.
It has been integrated into the rules of all things.
Qiuniu, the eldest of the nine sons of the First Emperor, was skilled in music and was transformed into a carving on the head of a zither.
The second son, Yazi, was fierce and bloodthirsty, and his body was transformed into the hilt and handle of ordinary swords.
The three sons, Chaofeng and Xigaowangyuan, transformed into the rooftops of palaces, guarding homes and protecting people, deterring demons, and warding off disasters and harms.
The other nine sons, in the same way, each became a symbol.
However, since the human race had not yet emerged at this time, the part of the Heavenly Dao rules supplemented by the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon was not of much use.
Therefore, Hongyuan did not leave behind much merit this time.
But for the dragons, it was enough to make them ecstatic.
After all, every bit of merit represents the Heavenly Dao's recognition and approval of the Dragon Clan's act of repentance and reform, which undoubtedly gives the entire Dragon Clan great encouragement and hope.
The severely injured Zhulong also woke up as a result. Looking around, he quickly understood the current situation from the information he gathered.
Immediately afterwards, the Candle Dragon's body trembled slightly as it struggled to stand up straight. Then, it raised its head, looked into the void, and called out in a hoarse voice:
"By the will of Heaven, from this day forward, our Dragon Clan will obey the decree of the Dao Venerable. We, the Dragon Clan, will return to the Four Seas and restore the water veins of the primordial world to atone for our own karma!"
In fact, this was the original plan of the Dragon Clan.
However, the dragons discovered that the merit gained from dredging the water veins was pitifully small.
And this amount of merit is barely enough for the First Emperor to use alone.
This method is far too slow when it comes to improving the fortune of the entire race.
It's not as easy as the dragon race having more children.
As a result, the dragon clan's higher-ups gradually forgot about it.
However, now, the dragons have no other choice.
Just after Zhulong finished speaking, Yuanfeng spoke up as well, saying, "Our Phoenix Clan respectfully obeys the Daoist's order and retreats the entire clan to the Undying Volcano. We will not leave without the Daoist's command."
Yuan Feng paused for a moment, then continued, "Our Phoenix Clan is now reduced to only Great Luo Golden Immortals, who will guard the various volcanoes of the primordial world to atone for the karmic debt of slaughter we have incurred!"
She originally wanted to say that she was eternally suppressing the immortal volcano, but after thinking about it, she realized that she might still be useful to the Daoist.
He then changed his mind and sent all the Great Luo Golden Immortals in the clan to guard various volcanoes in the prehistoric world.
After Zhulong and Yuanfeng finished speaking, the other leaders of the myriad races of the prehistoric world also announced their decisions.
Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of all living beings, a vast amount of Heavenly Merit suddenly condensed in the void and fell upon each living being.
However, these merits are generally not many, after all, they are just the grand vows made by sentient beings, and they have not yet taken action.
Hong Yuan was simply doing them a favor by letting them know that he had agreed to their decision.
After gaining these merits, all the races of the prehistoric world, including the Demonic Sect and the three races of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, retreated.
Only Yuan Feng remained.
Looking at Shen Ni before him, Yuan Feng pondered for a moment before respectfully asking, "Greetings, Beast King. Does the Beast King know what Yuan Feng should do next?"
Shen Ni smiled and said softly, "I don't know either. I'm sure the Daoist Master has his own arrangements. You might as well go back and heal your injuries first."
Although Shen Ni knew that Yuan Feng would soon become one of the Four Spirits of the Array alongside him.
But Hong Yuan hadn't spoken yet, so he couldn't overstep his bounds and could only tell Yuan Feng to go back and wait to heal.
Although Yuan Feng survived this time by sheer luck, her injuries were quite severe.
After all, Yuan Feng had endured for so long within the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
It's time to take some time to heal before talking about anything else.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng slowly nodded. Although she did not get an answer from Shen Ni, Yuan Feng did not lose her manners.
He simply bowed respectfully to the god in reverse.
Then he went back and forth to his clan's immortal volcano.
As Yu Shenni suggested, you might as well go back and heal your wounds first.
When Yuan Feng returned to the Undying Volcano, the Zhuque and the others, who had just woken up, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yuan Feng's safe return.
In this great battle between Hongjun and Rahu, although the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and qilin stood on Hongjun's side, it was their side that lost. Fortunately, the phoenix was only seriously injured and did not perish.
Thinking about it this way, it seems like the Phoenix Clan won the great war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.
Well, although the process was somewhat tortuous, in terms of the result... the Phoenix Clan's ending was the best, wasn't it?
After returning to the Undying Volcano, Yuan Feng gave a few instructions to her subordinates and then began her secluded cultivation.
At this moment, Yuan Feng was constantly thinking about what kind of task the Daoist would assign her on her way back.
After thinking about it for so long, she seemed to have some ideas.
It seems quite obvious, but she just never thought about it that way.
Because, how should I put it, this seems like a good job.
"Never mind, I'll heal my injuries first. This is just my guess, it's nothing. I'll just follow the Daoist's arrangements." As Yuan Feng murmured to herself, she gradually began to heal her injuries.
But as time went by, Yuan Feng's brows furrowed more and more.
The sword intent of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword left by Rahu on her was too difficult to eliminate, making it impossible for her to fully recover.
Even more subtly, Yuan Feng's injuries seemed to be a bit more severe than before.
If it were back then, she could have used the luck of her family clan to forcefully expel the remaining Immortal Execution Sword Intent from her body.
But now, the Phoenix Clan's spirit of fortune is not only far from what it used to be, but it is also entangled in karma.
It's already difficult enough for her to protect herself; she can't help him in the slightest.
However, considering that the Daoist Master should be assigning him a task soon, it would be a grave offense to delay the Daoist Master's plans due to his own reasons.
In order not to delay the Daoist Master's arrangements.
Yuan Feng gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and made a difficult decision without hesitation: she intended to abandon her body altogether...
