Chapter 125: Depicting the Western Scene, Gathering the Exotic Dragon Lineage!

This is......

Zhu Long relaxed, his gaze suddenly becoming distant and profound, dazed and lost.

At this moment, within the Wuliang Sihai, it too was boiling and clamorous.

The Ancestral Dragon Pearl burst forth, scattering radiant light across the sky; its divine radiance illuminated heaven and earth, auspicious colors shining throughout the universe.

The treasure light poured down, as if the boundless four seas were all shrouded in a layer of ineffable, mysterious radiance.

Roar.....

Roar.....

Countless dragons, summoned by this, had their qi and blood surge uncontrollably, overturning the heavens.

True dragons roared, exotic dragons screamed, the sound shaking the nine heavens, magnificently unparalleled!

For a moment, all beings were filled with shock and regret, not knowing what had actually happened.

At this moment, Zhu Long finally reacted.

"Ancestral Dragon Pearl?!"

"This is the Ancestral Dragon Pearl?!"

Not bad!

Having penetrated the endless divine radiance, Zhu Long instantly recognized this supreme treasure.

After all, this Ancestral Dragon Pearl was the congenital spirit treasure of his elder brother; Zhu Long knew it all too well.

"As it turns out, this is that spirit treasure......"

In Zhu Long's gaze, the previous gloom was swept away, replaced by intense joy.

He finally understood the meaning behind Chen Ku's words.

What he said was not false.

For the dragon race, the existence of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl is indeed no less than a primordial supreme treasure, its importance comparable to the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler.

Perhaps ordinary dragons are unaware, but Zhu Long knows very well.

With this Ancestral Dragon Pearl in hand, it is enough to suppress the fortune of the entire dragon race and boost the strength of countless dragons.

Even using it to suppress the sea eyes of the four seas and such is no problem; it can be said to have endless wonderful uses, too many to count.

Clamor......

Zhu Long wasted no words, a stream of primordial dragon breath spewed out and entered the interior of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.

In that moment, the divine radiance of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl became even more brilliant.

Only see, a huge true dragon phantom comparable to Zhu Long leapt out from the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, standing proudly above the nine heavens, spanning the universe.

A pair of huge eyes swept across heaven and earth, making all beings' scalps explode and their bodies turn cold.

Ancestral Dragon Phantom!

Seeing this, Chen Ku raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

At the same time, the power of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl surged suddenly, in one leap reaching the level of a top-grade primordial supreme treasure.

Seeing this, Chen Ku raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

Even a top-tier treasure must fall into the hands of a suitable person to unleash its full power.

Previously, whether in his own hand or inside the black dragon's body, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was only of medium-grade primordial supreme treasure power.

And Zhu Long and Zhu Long are originally of the same source and lineage, their bloodline power being equal.

Now, just a burst of primordial dragon breath has raised this treasure's power by one level.

Given time, remanifesting the might of a primordial supreme treasure is also highly possible.

And Zhu Long stared at that Ancestral Dragon Phantom in the high heavens, his eyes flashing with various inexplicable expressions, too complex to describe.

After a moment, he finally came to his senses.

Without hesitation, he swallowed the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in one gulp.

Immediately, Zhu Long continued to look at Chen Ku.

"This item is indeed the supreme treasure of my dragon race."

"Little friend, if you have any conditions or requests, just say them."

Having reclaimed the lost supreme treasure of his elder brother, Zhu Long was in high spirits.

Not only did he no longer covet the Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler, but his attitude toward Chen Ku also underwent a great change.

In his speech, he had already begun to address him as 'little friend'.

He had not forgotten that Chen Ku had previously said it was 'to discuss matters with the dragon race'.

In other words, this Ancestral Dragon Pearl is not being returned to the dragon race without conditions.

Hearing Zhu Long's words, Chen Ku gave a light smile.

Hearing the Candle Dragon's words, Chen Ku gave a faint smile.

Jieyin and Zhunti also had their expressions shift greatly, knowing that subduing the dragon race was now hopeful.

They exchanged a glance, but then didn't say much more.

Although they were Chen Ku's master and grandmaster.

But the current situation is entirely thanks to Chen Ku's efforts.

Therefore, they also had no intention of stealing Chen Ku's limelight, and instead let him negotiate with that Zhu Long.

Chen Ku also wasted no words; after thinking, he immediately spoke:

"Hehe, easy to say!"

"I wish to use this Ancestral Dragon Pearl to recruit the dragon race and head west; I wonder if that is acceptable?"

This poor Daoist wishes to use this Ancestral Dragon Pearl to recruit the dragon clan and head west; I wonder if that is possible?

Upon those words, Zhulong's gaze involuntarily sank slightly.

As soon as he spoke, Zhulong's gaze involuntarily dimmed slightly.

"The West intends to treat my dragon clan as subordinates, borrowing our strength to revive the West?"

Although Chen Ku didn't express it too clearly, given Zhulong's experience of living through endless ages, he instantly grasped the implied meaning.

Although Chen Ku didn't spell it out, Zhulong, with his immeasurable experience, instantly sensed his hidden meaning.

The esteemed dragon clan, now regarded as a mere "tool person," also made Zhulong slightly displeased.

The venerable dragon clan, now regarded as mere 'tools,' also left Zhulong slightly displeased.

As for this, Chen Ku remained calm and unhurried.

Chen Ku, however, remained completely unruffled.

"Zhulong senior, your statement is mistaken."

Senior Zhulong, your words are off the mark.

"Our two sides joining forces is not merely to revive the West."

Our alliance isn't merely to revive the West.

"Likewise, it is also to revive the former might of the dragon clan."

Likewise, it is also to restore the dragon clan's former might.

"The dragon clan's karmic burden is immense; by this we can accumulate merit, fortune, etc., to offset karmic obstacles, and also avoid the age‑long suppression of the sea eye—wouldn't that be a win‑win?"

The dragon clan's karmic debt is enormous, yet we can use this to accumulate merit and fortune, dispel our karmic obstacles, and even free ourselves from the eternal suppression of the sea‑eye—surely a win‑win?

These words caused Zhulong's expression to shift.

Those words made Zhulong's expression shift.

This was an angle he had never imagined!

That was an angle he had never imagined!

Suppressing the sea eye is precisely the bond the dragon clan cannot escape now, and also the greatest pain in the dragon clan's heart.

Suppressing the sea‑eye is exactly the bond the dragon clan cannot break free from, and also its deepest source of anguish.

Zhulong couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

Zhulong involuntarily fell into deep thought.

However, after a moment, he still shook his head slightly.

Yet after a moment he still gave a slight shake of his head.

"The West is too far away, and its spiritual energy is exhausted!"

"The West is too remote, and its spiritual energy is exhausted!"

"It is unsuitable for the survival and cultivation of our dragon clan."

"It is hardly suitable for our dragon clan's survival and cultivation."

Zhulong's strength is evident; he need not hide it, and directly pointed out the West's shortcomings.

Confident in his strength, Zhulong directly pointed out the West's shortcomings without holding back.

To speak without exaggeration, in the dragon clan's, and indeed all beings' understanding, the West has long been deemed a place forsaken by heaven and abandoned by the gods.

It is no exaggeration to say that, in the eyes of the dragon clan and all beings, the West has long been considered a place forsaken by heaven and abandoned by the gods.

Therefore, even with the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in hand, Zhulong still would not stake the entire dragon clan's fate on the West as a gamble.

Thus, even with the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, Zhulong refused to wager the entire dragon clan's fate on the West.

Chen Ku's expression stalled.

Chen Ku's expression stalled.

This Zhulong is truly overly cautious.

This Zhulong is really overly cautious, isn't he?

However, recruiting the dragon clan remains an unshakable goal; Chen Ku continued to persuade:

Nevertheless, recruiting the dragon clan is an unshakable goal, and Chen Ku pressed on with his persuasion:

"Heh, who can guarantee that the West will always remain as it is now?"

Hehe, who can guarantee that my West will stay like this?

"You must know, the primordial West had spiritual energy as vast as a sea, fortune as deep as an abyss, and was in no way inferior to the Eastern realm."

You should know that the primordial West's spiritual energy was as vast as the sea and its fortune as deep as an abyss, matching the East in every respect.

"Thus it could produce a powerhouse like Rahu."

That is how a powerhouse like Rahu could be forged.

"Yet it was precisely Rahu who destroyed the West's spiritual veins."

Yet it was Rahu himself who destroyed the spiritual veins of my West.

"Given time, the West will surely revive the scene of outstanding people and spiritual land, with myriad things flourishing and spiritual energy surging."

Given time, the West will surely regain its scene of outstanding people and spiritual vitality, with all things flourishing and spiritual energy surging.

Chen Ku's words already depicted a tempting Western vista.

Chen Ku's words already painted a vivid, enticing picture of the West.

These words are not Chen Ku deliberately trying to deceive Zhulong.

Those words were not Chen Ku's deliberate attempt to deceive Zhulong.

For this, he himself has great confidence; otherwise he would not have steadfastly remained in the West originally.

He naturally had great confidence in this; otherwise he would not have steadfastly stayed in the West from the beginning.

His words also caused Zhulong to fall into deep thought again.

His words also plunged Zhulong once again into deep thought.

Not bad!

Not bad!

As Zhulong, an ancient primordial great power, he personally experienced the Dragon-Han Initial Calamity and the conflict between Dao and demons.

Zhulong, as an immensely ancient Primordial Power, personally experienced the initial Dragon‑Han calamity and the Dao‑Demon war.

Regarding the former prosperity of the West, he also witnessed it firsthand.

He also witnessed firsthand the West's former prosperity.

With such a foundation from back then, reviving the Western realm is indeed highly possible.

With such a foundation, reviving the West is indeed highly possible.

However, having experienced the decline of the dragon clan, he himself has remained hidden for myriad ages; evidently Zhulong has become extremely cautious and timid.

However, after the dragon clan's decline and having remained hidden for ages, Zhulong has become exceedingly cautious and timid.

After pondering for a long time, he finally let out a wistful sigh and said:

After a long period of contemplation, he finally let out a wistful sigh and said:

"In that case, I can agree."

If that is the case, I can agree.

"Pure-blood true dragons may not go to the West."

Pure‑blood true dragons may not go to the West.

"As for mixed-blood aberrant dragons, if they are willing, I will not stop them."

As for mixed‑blood aberrant dragons, if they are willing, I will not stop them.

Needless to say, Zhulong's decision is also the result of deep consideration.

It must be said, Zhulong's decision is the result of careful deliberation.

Previously, the Black Dragon led the aberrant dragon lineage in a massive hunt of pure-blood true dragons, intending to seize control of the dragon clan.

Previously, the Black Dragon, together with the aberrant dragon lineage, ruthlessly hunted pure‑blood true dragons in an attempt to seize control of the dragon clan.

This caused unprecedented internal strife within the dragon clan.

This sparked an unprecedented internal conflict within the dragon clan.

Now, the true dragons that once suppressed the dragon eye have also awakened.

Now, the true dragons that once suppressed the sea‑eye have awakened.

If the aberrant dragons remain in the Wuliang Sihai, their conflict will inevitably intensify, possibly even leading to mutual slaughter.

If the aberrant dragons remain in the Boundless Four Seas, the conflict between the sides will only intensify, possibly even leading to mutual slaughter.

In that case, it would be better to give those aberrant dragons a chance to leave voluntarily.

In that case, it would be better to give those aberrant dragons a chance to leave voluntarily.

Considering this, the Black Dragon naturally thought of it as well.

Considering this, the Black Dragon naturally thought of it as well.

His eyes lit up, and he secretly rejoiced.

His eyes lit up and he secretly rejoiced.

Without Zhulong saying so, he already had the thought of fleeing.

Even without Zhulong saying so, he already had the thought of fleeing.

After all, his past actions were a grave sin to the dragon clan, and the Black Dragon knows this full well.

After all, he knew full well how grave his past actions were against the dragon clan.

If he stays, he likely will not meet a good end.

If he stays, he likely won't meet a good end.

Therefore, the Black Dragon immediately turned his gaze toward Chen Ku, as if fearing the latter might refuse.

Thus, the Black Dragon immediately turned to Chen Ku, as if fearing his refusal.

By this point, Chen Ku naturally knows that this is Zhulong's bottom line.

By this point, Chen Ku naturally understood that this was Zhulong's bottom line.

Further talk is useless.

Further talk is pointless.

For now, the only thing to do is to go along with the situation.

For now, all we can do is go along with the flow, and that's where it ends.

"Heh, good!"

Hehe, good!

"Then let's follow Zhulong senior's words!"

Then let's follow Senior Zhulong's words!

Chen Ku chuckled lightly and agreed to it.
