Chapter 630

The phoenix, the qilin, and the dragon clan were the three strongest races at the dawn of creation, each governing the avian race, the terrestrial beasts, and the aquatic race respectively.

Since Luo Fu needs the fortune of the avian race, the fortunes of the other three races are naturally also indispensable.

"You guessed right—I can indeed resurrect the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin."

Luo Fu nodded slightly, acknowledging Daoist Yuan Feng's guess.

Since all three are races of the primordial opening, if I resurrect Daoist Yuan Feng, I must also resurrect the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin—only then will it be complete.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Fu began his work.

"Borrowing your karmic thread, I seek traces through karma—seize the soul, capture the spirit! Go!"

A low chant rang out; Luo Fu's right hand lightly grasped toward Daoist Yuan Feng, and two invisible fine threads appeared on Daoist Yuan Feng's body.

These two threads were karmic threads—the karmic connections between Daoist Yuan Feng and the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin.

As races of the primordial opening, all three were nearly destroyed in the great calamity, ultimately forced to sacrifice themselves to atone for their clan's sins.

The karmic ties between Daoist Yuan Feng, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Beginning Qilin were exceedingly deep.

Only by leveraging these karmic bonds could the residual soul imprints of the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin be collected with the greatest speed.

Neither Daoist Yuan Feng, the Ancestral Dragon, nor the Beginning Qilin possessed the ability to reincarnate and be reborn. Thus, the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin were truly dead.

Of course, as the first dragon and the first qilin in heaven and earth, the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin could not be utterly extinguished.

The dragon clan and the qilin clan had not perished.

As the progenitors of the dragon and qilin clans, as long as their lineages had not been entirely wiped out, the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin could not leave behind not a single trace.

Traces remained, but reviving them from such faint traces was nearly impossible.

Only Luo Fu, with his profound comprehension of the Dao, had any chance of resurrecting them.

Under Luo Fu's control, the two karmic threads sank into two separate space gates.

In an instant, both space gates began to violently tremble; an invisible force emanated from them, following the karmic threads and spreading toward some corner of the Three Realms.

Shu!

The next moment, faint ghostly light glowed upon the two space gates.

Two extremely fragmented, nearly dissolving at the slightest breeze, residual souls appeared within the Qiankun Cave Heaven.

These two residual souls were the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin.

As soon as the two residual souls appeared, Luo Fu extended his right hand and drew them before himself.

"Too fragmented. It seems the dragon and qilin clans have truly declined over these years—if this continues, even the last few strands of the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin's residual souls will vanish entirely."

After examining the residual souls of the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin, Luo Fu could not help but sigh.

The dragon and qilin clans were once the mighty primordial three races.

Before the Long Hanchu Calamity, the three clans nearly divided the entire Honghuang among themselves.

Yet after just one great calamity, the primordial three races nearly went extinct, reduced to the point where even the ancestral bloodlines were so diluted they could scarcely awaken.

One could not help but marvel at the impermanence of worldly affairs.

One could not help but marvel at the terror of the Honghuang Calamity.

No wonder the great cultivators of the Journey to the West World shun the Calamity at all costs.

Upon careful reflection, the Honghuang Calamity was indeed terrifying.

Each time, it brought about transformative upheavals across the entire Honghuang.

"To fully repair such fragmented residual souls will require considerable effort."

Although the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin possessed extremely ancient origins, they were ultimately only at the peak saint level.

A cultivator at this level could still be resurrected by Luo Fu.

Yet compared to resurrecting Daoist Yuan Feng, resurrecting the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin was more troublesome and consumed more time.

"Never mind—let's meet them first! Trace the root, reverse time and space!"

Hua la!

As Luo Fu spoke, a river flowing endlessly forward, filled with the aura of time, appeared within the Qiankun Cave Heaven.

"The Time River—Luo Fu, you are also so skilled in the Dao of Time."

Daoist Yuan Feng immediately recognized the river before him as the legendary Time River.

"Seal!"

The instant he summoned the Time River, Luo Fu activated the power of the Chaos Pearl to lock it in place.

The Time River is one of the world's fundamental pillars; stirring it risks attracting the attention of Heaven's Dao.

But since the Qiankun Cave Heaven was sealed within the Chaos Pearl, and the Chaos Pearl suppressed it, merely stirring the Time River could still be concealed.

Shu!

Under Luo Fu's manipulation, the flowing Time River began to reverse.

Waves of light and shadow passed through the Time River: the Three Realms reborn, the Divine War, the Wu-Yao War, the Dao Ancestor merging with the Dao.

In the blink of an eye, the light and shadow of the Time River crossed several great calamities, arriving at the Long Hanchu Calamity era.

"Stabilize!"

Soon, Luo Fu locked onto a terrifyingly powerful dragon and a qilin equally terrifying, its body brimming with malevolent aura.

These two light-shadows were the Ancestral Dragon and the Beginning Qilin.

Luo Fu's right hand reached into the Time River and grasped; a palm appeared within the river, reaching for the two light-shadows.

The two light-shadows offered no resistance as Luo Fu drew them out.

Hua la!

The Time River churned violently, trying to stop Luo Fu's actions.

For ordinary mortals, even a single current of the Time River could instantly drain their lifespan.

Even a quasi-sage powerhouse could decay when directly washed by the River of Time.

Because although quasi-sage powerhouses have achieved immortality, their true spirits have not transcended the River of Time.

As long as the true spirit has not transcended the River of Time, it remains bound by the River of Time.

Quasi-sage powerhouses are indeed immortal and unaffected by the erosion of time.
