Chapter 37

"Fellow Daoist Zhulong, shift your form six chi to the left, Fellow Daoist Qinglong..."

"After Zhuyun perfected the Myriad Dragon Grand Formation, he let Zulong and others change positions while his magical power surged, pulling the dragons one by one to shift places."

"He didn't really care about the reward Qinglong mentioned, after all, seeing Zulong's earlier arrogant demeanor with his nose in the air, he probably wouldn't give anything good."

"What he valued was Zhulong's temporal law! For as soon as Qinglong spoke, Zhulong had already sent a voice transmission promising to fully explain his comprehension of the temporal law!"

"The temporal law is one of the most difficult laws to master!"

"In all of prehistoric history, aside from the temporal dragon Zhulong, only the unborn ancestral witch Chu Jiuyin, who innately wielded temporal power, walked the path of time! Time is everywhere, yet even though Zhuyun possesses heaven-defying comprehension, he has always had little insight into the temporal law."

"Dragon after dragon, under Zhuyun's control, constantly shifted formations, and the Myriad Dragon Grand Formation grew ever more stable under this effect."

"Zulong, positioned at the formation's center, only felt the Myriad Dragon power bolstering him, a mighty surge of power rushing into his heart."

"The Myriad Dragon Grand Formation is complete! Zulong felt somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Zhuyun's attainment in formations to be so high, actually solving the formation's difficulty so quickly."

"Although he is arrogant, he still respects those who are capable."

"Only then did he properly size up Zhuyun and his companions."

"\"I recall that this Tianyun Daoist has been alive for no more than two hundred thousand years, right? Even if his attainment in formations is that high, how could his cultivation have reached the late stage of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal? \""

"Zulong's heart was greatly startled; upon again looking at the peak Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal Yin-Yang and Qiankun, as well as the early-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal Fuxi and Nüwa, he immediately restrained his arrogance."

"\"Earlier, my mind was troubled and I neglected several fellow Daoists; I hereby apologize to them! \""

"Although Zulong is arrogant, he is not foolish; right now the Myriad Heavens Island is already a force not to be underestimated, so he naturally ought to take it seriously."

"And upon setting aside that arrogance, one could see that the imperial Dao surrounding Zulong, while still primarily overbearing, had gained a touch of gentleness!"

"In an instant, Zulong's comprehension of the imperial Dao deepened another layer, and his aura became more profound."

"Zhuyun gazed at the swirling imperial laws around Zulong, and his heart gained some insight."

"【You observed Zulong's imperial Dao advancement, gaining inner insight into the imperial law; current mastery, 5%!】"

"The imperial Dao is not among the Three Thousand Great Daos, yet strangely it can merge within them; it is the most peculiar law beneath the Great Dao."

"Precisely now, Zulong's imperial Dao is chiefly overbearing and the Dao of fortune, and its recent improvement came from integrating the Yin-Yang Dao's principle of balancing hardness and softness."

"【Drawing from your past-life experience and combining it with the governing principles of the 422 emperors recorded in the past-life Yanhuang history, your comprehension of the imperial Dao deepens; current mastery, 43%!】"

"The Yanhuang history is long, its civilization brilliant, producing countless outstanding emperors; their governing principles instantly caused Zhuyun's grasp of the imperial Dao to leap forward!"

"【You discovered the common ground between the imperial Dao, the Literary Myriad Daos, and the Martial Myriad Daos, realizing a Dao that merges all Daos!】"

"【You incorporated the principles of other great Daos besides the literary and martial into the imperial Dao, raising your mastery of it; current mastery, 59%!】"

"Although the imperial Dao adds little to Zhuyun's cultivation, its support for his Myriad Heavens Myriad Worlds Dao-actualizing method is immense! The Myriad Heavens Myriad Worlds Dao-actualizing method opens up myriad heavens and worlds, but each is based on a single great Dao law, which also limits the upper limit of beings in that realm! As said before, the Three Powers are the most stable! Just as Pangu the Great God opened the prehistoric world by using the three Dao of heaven, earth, and humanity to oversee the Three Thousand Great Daos, thus allowing prehistoric beings unlimited potential and the world to continually grow stronger! Zhuyun's Myriad Heavens Myriad Worlds Dao-actualizing method can fully employ the Literary Myriad Daos, Martial Myriad Daos, and Imperial Myriad Daos as the heaven, earth, and humanity three Dao of the myriad heavens and worlds!"

"Heaven is literature, earth is martial, humanity is sovereign!"

"Thus each of his great worlds will have infinite potential! Once this way is accomplished, Zhuyun will be the ancestor of all realms, the lord of all Dao!"

"When Zhuyun grows strong enough, even the top-tier beings in each of his great worlds will be able to contend with the primordial divinities of prehistoric times!"

"\"Fellow Daoist Tianyun, what do you think of my dragon clan? \""

"Don't look at Zhuyun's recent huge improvement; in fact only a moment has passed!"

"Joking aside, with the governing principles of the 422 ancestral forefathers of Yanhuang history, how long could such an improvement take? Although Zulong previously said he valued Yin-Yang the most, he now faintly realizes that Zhuyun is likely the mainstay among everyone."

"Just now he also sensed that Zhuyun's imperial law flickered briefly, but since he wants to win over the Myriad Heavens Island forces, he naturally won't investigate further at this time."

"\"Your dragon clan is the number one great clan of prehistoric times, naturally extremely strong; moreover, at this moment your martial prowess should be the number one person of prehistoric times, and we wholeheartedly approve! \""

"Zhuyun spoke frankly."

"Moreover, he feels favorable toward the dragon clan, since in his past life he was human and always called himself a descendant of the dragon."

"\"Would you fellow Daoists like to join my dragon clan? I guarantee that in my dragon clan your status will be equal to that of Zhulong, Qinglong, and Yinglong; my myriad dragon clan, you may command as you wish! \""

"Zulong's attitude was very amiable, and he promised great benefits! \"If you fellow Daoists agree, my dragon clan's treasures allow each of you to pick one supreme innate spiritual treasure! \""

"The dragon clan has always been wealthy and treasure-laden, but offering five supreme innate spiritual treasures is already a grand gesture! Moreover, what Zulong actually values is only Zhuyun's three brothers; Fuxi and Nüwa are currently only early-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortals, so he naturally doesn't regard them highly."

"The two extra supreme innate spiritual treasures are purely gifts to win favor with the three! \"Your generosity is immense, thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist! \""

"Zhuyun also understands Zulong's meaning; speaking frankly, Zulong's posture has already been laid out, showing he greatly values the three brothers."

"Upon hearing Zhuyun's words, Zulong's face lit up with joy, thinking Zhuyun meant to agree to join the dragon clan, but he didn't expect Zhuyun to shift his tone."

"\"However, we three brothers have always been idle and carefree, seeking only the supreme Dao! \""

"\"We two brothers originally planned to visit the phoenix and qilin clans after paying our respects to you, fellow Daoist! \""

"\"However, fellow Daoist, rest assured that no matter what conditions the phoenix and qilin clans offer to win us over, we will absolutely not join any clan! \""

"Upon hearing Zhuyun's refusal, Zulong initially wanted to get angry, but then he realized that at this moment he lacked full confidence to retain those few people."

"Rather than feud with them, it's better to forge good karma; moreover, Zhuyun's overwhelming fortune on his person is truly striking—if they turned hostile, Zulong would also worry he couldn't withstand the backlash of that overwhelming fortune!"

"After all, his achievement as the number one person of prehistoric times is largely due to the clan's fortune!"
