Chapter 66

Nowadays, the junior disciple's strength is also not inferior to ours.

In my humble opinion, we three can split up into three routes, each heading to one of the three tribes.

This way, we can also, at the fastest speed, unify the three tribes and resolve the troubles of our West.

Zhunti naturally agreed with Jieyin's proposal and spoke up to suggest.

If it were the past, perhaps Jieyin and Zhunti would still have to step forward to communicate with the three tribes.

But now, having witnessed Chen Ku's astonishing strength, he too is worthy of being called a great mighty figure capable of standing alone against one side.

Having him go to make contact with one of the three tribes would be proper and would not diminish the West's prestige.

Moreover, you should know that in the past, the three tribes hid themselves, each occupying a different region among heaven and earth.

Wuliang Sihai is the land of the dragon tribe!

The Indestructible Volcano is where the phoenix tribe dwells!

And the central lands belong to the qilin tribe.

The territories of the three tribes are far apart from each other.

The three of us emerging together can also save time to the greatest extent, in order to quickly win over the three tribes.

As for this, Chen Ku nodded without hesitation.

Uncle-master's words are absolutely correct; let's do just that!

Hearing his straightforward answer, Jieyin and Zhunti instead raised their eyebrows in surprise, looking toward him.

This kid, why is he so decisive this time?!

They haven't forgotten that initially they only let Chen Ku travel alone, but this kid kept finding excuses, evading in every way, just wanting to stay under Jieyin and Zhunti's influence.

Could it be that this kid has finally awakened?

Little did they know, although Chen Ku is shameless, he also knows how to prioritize.

This time, winning over the three tribes is a major matter concerning whether we can purify the West's resentment and revive its qi fortune; it is of great significance.

Therefore, Chen Ku naturally will not think of hiding his clumsiness anymore.

Jieyin also said nothing more, waving his hand lightly, and the three tribes' supreme treasures hovered before the three of them.

Hehe, since that's the case, let us each choose a spiritual treasure to decide which tribe we will go to.

After the words fell, Jieyin and Zhunti did not act, but instead first looked toward Chen Ku.

As elders, they naturally should hand over the right to choose first to Chen Ku.

Once Chen Ku makes his choice, it doesn't matter much where Jieyin and Zhunti go.

Gazing at the three supreme treasures before him, Chen Ku fell into thought for a moment, somewhat hesitant.

He secretly activated the Grand Dao of Purple Star Astrology, hoping to aid himself in making a suitable choice.

Not long after, a profound and mysterious feeling arose, settling upon the Ancestral Dragon Pearl.

In that moment, Chen Ku's heart stirred greatly.

Is this telling me to choose to go to the dragon tribe?!

Chen Ku was weighing his options.

The dragon tribe resides within Wuliang Sihai, vast and boundless.

More importantly, it is heard that beyond the sea lie many Xiandao, with countless opportunities.

Besides, the Three Xiandao lie outside the East Sea, each a top-tier cave-heaven blessed land.

How is Xiating now so powerful? It is precisely because it occupies Penglai Island, one of the Three Xiandao, accumulating boundless qi fortune, thereby drawing countless great mighty figures into its service.

However, Xiating occupies only one of them.

Besides Penglai Island, there may still be two Xiandao that have not yet appeared in the world, or have not been seized by powerful beings.

Hmm... going to the dragon tribe is indeed a fine choice!

This way, besides winning over the dragon tribe, we might also gain some unexpected benefits.

Having thought this through, Chen Ku no longer hesitated.

He reached out and grasped the Ancestral Dragon Pearl in his palm.

Master, uncle-master, disciple will go to the dragon tribe.

Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti raised their eyebrows, even more surprised.

However, shortly after, Jieyin furrowed his brows slightly, speaking as if advising:

Disciple, you must know that the dragon tribe is the strongest among the three tribes.

Moreover, this tribe's arrogance is astonishing; it is likely the most difficult to deal with.

How about... you choose either the Phoenix Fan or the Qilin Seal, would that be alright?!

After the words fell, Zhunti at the side also nodded, indicating that Jieyin's words were true.

It is not that Jieyin looks down on Chen Ku.

Rather, the latter is a rising star; compared to Jieyin and Zhunti, his reputation ultimately falls short.

In contrast, Jieyin and Zhunti are innate great mighty figures renowned throughout the ages, and are named disciples of the Hongjun Dao Ancestor.

Their words, the dragon lineage would surely not take lightly, and would certainly treat them with respect.

Therefore, in Jieyin and Zhunti's view, if either of them went to the dragon tribe, the chance of success would likely be greater.

But Chen Ku's resolve is set, and he will not easily waver.

It's fine!

Master, uncle-master, rest assured; disciple will act with discretion!

He responded so calmly, his expression firm, with no intention of changing his mind.

Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, somewhat helpless.

They also knew that there was no point in saying more about Chen Ku's decision.

Moreover, Chen Ku is indeed not someone who acts impulsively or without due consideration.

Since he is determined to go to the Dragon Clan, he must have his own considerations.

In that case, we can only comply with Chen Ku's wish.

"Well then, we shouldn't say anything more."

Zhunti nodded, paused his words, and then said with deep meaning:

"But disciple, remember, this matter must not be handled rashly."

"If the Dragon Clan is wholeheartedly resistant, you may temporarily retreat to the West; do not provoke a conflict with them."

"Even if the Ancestral Dragon Pearl is lost, there's no need to worry."

"In the future, we two will naturally make further plans."

Zhunti's words were heavy and earnest, spoken with bitter sincerity.

One must know, as the saying goes, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse; although the Dragon Clan has declined, it must not be underestimated.

Although Chen Ku's abilities are outstanding and his combat power astonishing,

yet once faced with the hostility of the entire Dragon Clan, it would surely be difficult to cope.

Have you not heard the saying, 'Even if your body is of iron, how many nails can you crush?!'

If because of this matter Chen Ku were to be besieged by the Dragon Clan, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Furthermore, even if Chen Ku were not seriously injured, should he be detained and imprisoned by the Dragon Clan,

at that point, Jieyin and Zhunti would truly be moved to tears but have none to shed.

To them, what is the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, or the aid of the Dragon Clan?

Combined, they are not as important as Chen Ku.

Clearly, Jieyin and Zhunti's esteem for Chen Ku surpasses everything.

Hearing these words, Chen Ku's expression softened, and a warm current involuntarily surged in his heart.

"Master, Uncle, rest assured!"

"Uncle's admonitions, I have kept firmly in mind."

In fact, Jieyin and Zhunti's worries are truly unnecessary.

No matter what, Chen Ku has ample confidence; at critical moments, at least running away is still feasible.

Of course, to dispel Jieyin and Zhunti's concerns, Chen Ku had no choice but to respond in this solemn manner.

Immediately, Jieyin and Zhunti each made their own choices.

Jieyin went to the Unquenchable Fire Mountain, while Zhunti proceeded to the Central Land.

By this point, the three of them had clear objectives.

Chen Ku spoke:

"In that case, I will go ahead first!"

He performed a salute and bade farewell to Jieyin and Zhunti.

Before his words had finished, his whole body suddenly vanished from the spot.

His entire form was concealed within heaven and earth, undetectable.

Great Divine Ability of Flying Body Trace!

At the same time, aided by Pursuing the Stars and Seizing the Moon, his speed reached the utmost limit.

In hardly more than the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared.

Even Jieyin and Zhunti could not help but feel a momentary daze, somewhat bewildered!

After reacting, Jieyin then shook his head and chuckled:

"Hehe, this kid is becoming ever more unfathomable."

With a sigh, Jieyin and Zhunti said no more.

The two immediately set out, leaving the Western Territory and heading toward their respective destinations.
