Chapter 69

Back then, after the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun attained the Dao and became a Saint.

Later, he established the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth.

The Azure Dragon of the Dragon Clan transformed into a Primordial Saint Beast, achieving the status of the Eastern Mengzhang Divine Lord.

During the transformation, he accidentally obtained a trace of heavenly secrets.

Subsequently, he gave his personal Wood Spirit Bead to Zhulong and informed him that a cultivator would come in the future to seek the Wood Spirit Bead.

One could use the Wood Spirit Bead to befriend him.

This person held a massive opportunity for the future of the Dragon Clan.

And could help the Dragon Clan walk out of their predicament.

Conversely, if one were to become enemies with him, it might bring even greater disaster to the Dragon Clan.

Although Zhulong did not believe it entirely, he still held a trace of anticipation.

Later, Zhulong inadvertently discovered the existence of the Dragon Clan descendant Ao Ling'er.

He calculated that she actually had some affinity with the Wood Spirit Bead.

Out of certain plans and schemes.

Zhulong bestowed the Wood Spirit Bead upon her.

And she received careful cultivation.

At the same time, he also discovered that Ao Ling'er had a death tribulation.

The higher her cultivation, the more terrifying the death tribulation would be.

Especially once she advanced to Taiyi Jinxian, there would be no possibility of survival.

It was for this reason that Zhulong had always suppressed Ao Ling'er's cultivation at the Golden Core perfection realm.

Moreover, within Ao Ling'er's death tribulation, there was actually a hidden opportunity.

It was closely related to the Wood Spirit Bead on her person.

Zhulong instantly associated this with the words of the Azure Dragon from the past.

Perhaps, whether for the Dragon Clan or for Ao Ling'er, the opportunity lay with that mysterious cultivator seeking the Wood Spirit Bead.

This was also the reason why the East Sea Dragon King had been willing to forgo Yunxiao, a Daluo Jinxian, and do everything in his power to have Ao Ling'er take Hongxuan as her master.

Only Hongxuan was the glimmer of life for Ao Ling'er.

"Ancestor, can that Daoist Hongxuan really save Ling'er?"

"It is unclear; everything depends on her own fortune."

"Ao Guang, from here on, you only need to observe silently."

"Within ten thousand years, if Ao Ling'er is truly saved by Daoist Hongxuan, it will prove that he is the person the Azure Dragon spoke of."

"Afterward, our Dragon Clan can appropriately provide him with some help."

"Yes, Ancestor, this junior knows what to do!"

Three Immortals Island, under the Tree of Life.

Hongxuan's room.

Hongxuan sat cross-legged on a clean meditation cushion, holding the Wood Spirit Bead he had just obtained, preparing to refine it.

As for his "cheap" disciple Ao Ling'er.

He had handed her directly to the Three Xiao sisters, letting them provide guidance for the time being.

The water, wood, and fire spirit beads were already in hand.

What remained were the gold and earth spirit beads.

He did not know where to look for them.

To seek the help of the Tongtian Sect Leader, he would have to wait for the sermon one hundred thousand years later.

He really could not wait that long.

Regardless, he would refine the Wood Spirit Bead first.

【You refine the Wood Spirit Bead, contemplate the profound Dao rhymes within, trigger your heaven-defying comprehension, and successfully realize a trace of the Law of Wood!】

【You read the Huang Tingjing, perceive the ultimate truths within, trigger your heaven-defying comprehension, your foundation becomes deeper, your Dao heart is tempered, and your destiny is elevated!】

【You contemplate the Eternal Dao Book and the Destiny Luo Pan, trigger your heaven-defying comprehension, your understanding of destiny becomes deeper and deeper, and you realize another trace of the Law of Destiny!】

【You continuously study the art of divination, gain a deeper understanding of the Dao of Divination, trigger your heaven-defying comprehension, and combine it with the divine ability: Great Destiny Art (embryonic form), successfully creating the divine ability: Great Divination Art (embryonic form)!】

Time is not recorded in the Primordial World.

While Hongxuan was in seclusion, three thousand years of time passed in an instant.

During these years, while refining the Wood Spirit Bead, Hongxuan naturally did not give up on his perception of the Huang Tingjing or his contemplation of the Destiny Luo Pan.

With the help of his heaven-defying comprehension, although his cultivation base did not improve much.

The hidden benefits were beyond imagination.

Perhaps at a critical moment, they would play a more important role than his cultivation base.

Of course.

During his seclusion, he had been concerned about the matter of the five innate spirit beads.

Ultimately, relying on his heaven-defying comprehension talent and his own wisdom, combined with a trace of the Law of Destiny, he had created another divination divine ability.

Moreover, it possessed incredible utility.

The art of divination, the divine ability of the Great Destiny Art (embryonic form), and the heaven-defying comprehension were all required to succeed.

None could be missing.

At the same time, Hongxuan immediately employed the Great Divination Art (embryonic form) to divine the remaining two Five Elements Spirit Beads.

Hard work pays off.

After dozens of divinations.

He finally found a way to obtain the remaining two Five Elements Spirit Beads.

Although there were some difficulties, he now had a direction.

As long as he continued to walk down this path.

Ultimately, he would definitely be able to succeed.

Since there was hope for the remaining two spirit beads.

Then it was time for him to refine his five internal energies.

As for the idea of waiting until all five spirit beads were in hand to ensure absolute certainty.

Hongxuan pondered for a long time and ultimately gave it up.

The path of cultivating the Dao is filled with crises.

There is no such thing as absolute certainty.

To have a high probability of success and still be timid.

That is simply unjustifiable.

Moreover, he also needed to put some pressure on himself.

He needed to set a firm goal for himself.

Otherwise, if an accident occurred halfway through.

He would automatically want to give up.

He must prevent such a possibility.

Hongxuan's expression was firm.

He prepared to go into seclusion again.

And just at this moment, Yunxiao's voice came from outside the door.

"Hongxuan, can you temporarily stop your seclusion? Something has happened!"

"Sister Yunxiao, what happened?"

Hongxuan hurriedly opened the door and asked in confusion.

"Your newly accepted disciple, Ao Ling'er, seems to have encountered an unexpected situation!"

Yunxiao gave Hongxuan a speechless glare.
