Chapter 106: with translation of chapter title

Qi and Fuxi displayed the memory fragments, discovering that the changes in the night sky they saw then differed greatly, and countless stars never seen before appeared.

Upon re-examining that scene, they likewise discovered that they had missed quite a bit, which sparked considerable interest for both of them.

Looking closely, within the shifting stars and moving constellations lay myriad hidden changes; within the universe, the divine abilities of the Dao Treasury naturally manifest.

Now their cultivation and insight are no longer what they once were; many details previously unnoticed are now clear and perceptible at a glance.

Qi and Fuxi no longer concern themselves with each other's memories; they now need to fully digest the evolution in their own memories before seeking other changes.

Fuxi went into seclusion with great enthusiasm; Qi looked at the tens of thousands of mountain peaks in his sleeve, surveyed his surroundings, but found not a single person left.

Wasn't the plan to refine the formation base together? Where are they?

Qi shouted in his heart, yet he did not go look for them; he simply threw himself back into the refining.

For a god immersed in something, time is utterly not worth paying attention to; more than ten yuan hui will pass in an instant.

During this period, aside from Di Jun and Taiyi returning to the sun star to suppress the fire poison, the entire Yunmze Marsh was extremely quiet, as if cut off from the world.

The open and covert struggles among the three tribes did not reach the gods' Dao Chang; now the protagonists of the wilderness are those top beast gods.

Now the Qilin tribe has rallied many large beast clans and also absorbed many exotic beasts into its camp.

Among them are the White Tiger tribe, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, etc., great wilderness clans possessing innate divinity.

The Phoenix tribe is likewise, having completely controlled the skies, and also recruited a top innate divine being, the rarely active star god Zhuque in the wilderness.

She even directly joined the Phoenix tribe, becoming its third innate divine being, her rank only below the Yuan Feng and Yuan Huang.

Undying Volcano, eagles and falcons, the heavenly Peng, and the great bird clan.

And these, too, are top beast god clans possessing innate divinity, their power swelling unprecedentedly.

The Dragon clan originally also wanted to take the opportunity to subdue the wilderness serpent clan, but ultimately still failed; the two sides fought a battle in Chaos, and the final result did not meet the Dragon clan's expectations.

The serpent clan, possessing two innate divine beings, the Ancestral Serpent and Heavenly Serpent, do not acknowledge the Dragon clan's rule over them; they only acknowledge the Dragon clan as the leader of the scaled armor, and reject everything else.

Finally, the Ancestral Dragon visited the serpent clan once more; what they discussed is unknown, but after Ancestral Dragon departed, the serpent clan no longer restricted the Dragon clan's bloodline propagation within their own tribe.

At the same time, a top branch was drawn from the serpent clan and merged into the Dragon clan; although that branch retains a serpentine form and serpent name henceforth, it belongs to the Dragon clan.

After this, the Dragon clan no longer speaks of subduing all scaled armor; they simply open wide the doors of convenience, welcoming whoever wishes to come.

The Turtle clan, a major clan among the scaled armor, suddenly proactively joined the Dragon clan's ranks, submitting to Dragon clan rule; this also helped the Dragon clan regain some face.

In the Eastern Sea Water Mansion, Azure Dragon's complexion was bluish-black, his aura fluctuating throughout his body, sometimes strong, sometimes weak; he secluded himself in the quiet chamber, and although much time has passed, this change has not ceased.

The floor of the quiet chamber was pitted and depressed, carrying a hint of corrosion, revealing some black bloodstains.

A jet-black blood arrow shot from Azure Dragon's chest, flying only a short distance of a few steps in the air before falling to the ground.

Upon touching the ground, the ground emitted a corrosive stench; after a moment it gradually subsided, leaving the pitted land.

With the discharge of this blood arrow, Azure Dragon's complexion improved considerably, yet his face remained like gold paper, his skin showing an unhealthy pallor.

Azure Dragon rose from his lotus seat; he never imagined that even with his immense vitality, he would be wounded to such an extent by the Heavenly Serpent's venom.

At that time, he and the Ancestral Dragon faced the Ancestral Serpent and Heavenly Serpent in Chaos; he blocked a sneak attack for the Ancestral Dragon, was poisoned by this toxin, and was tormented for nearly a yuan hui.

During that yuan hui, not only did his cultivation make no progress, but there were even faint signs of decline.

Upon hearing footsteps outside the quiet chamber and recognizing them as the Ancestral Dragon's, Azure Dragon's expression relaxed, his aura throughout his body became full, and his whole person seemed to return to normal.

A burst of green light swept across the ground; the originally pitted uneven land became as before, as if what had just happened never existed.

The Ancestral Dragon's steps were somewhat hurried; although they seemed different from before, Azure Dragon knew him too well, and still noticed these slight differences in the details.

"Elder brother, what matter makes you so anxious that you lose your tranquility?"

Azure Dragon's voice was gentle, like his Dao, full of vitality, making one feel as if a spring breeze brushed the face.

The Ancestral Dragon did not speak, merely taking out a spirit fruit whose exterior resembled a python coiled, ready to devour a person; its skin was blue-green, its scales ferocious.

"Take it quickly; it should be able to dispel the deadly poison on your body."

The Ancestral Dragon felt some annoyance; had it not been for this trip to the serpent clan, he might not even have realized that Azure Dragon could be poisoned so deeply.

He regretted not having noticed, nearly putting his brother in danger, and was angry that Azure Dragon concealed his injury to avoid worrying him.

He had thought that Azure Dragon's Dao, full of vitality, was the unparalleled life path of the wilderness, as Azure Dragon said it had already resolved itself, posing no great hindrance.

But only after being in the serpent clan did he learn some of the inside story, realizing how miserable Azure Dragon was at this time.

The serpent clan also had no intention of totally feuding with the Dragon clan; after he offered them great profit, the two sides reconciled, and only then did the Heavenly Serpent reveal these things and produce this fruit to give to him, to detoxify Azure Dragon.

Azure Dragon was momentarily speechless, his eyes reddened, not knowing what to say; after a moment he spoke:

"Azure Dragon, thank you, elder brother, for your concern."

He immediately consumed the spirit fruit, refining its medicinal potency.

Seeing Azure Dragon take the fruit, the Ancestral Dragon then withdrew from the quiet chamber and waited outside.

After a thousand years, Azure Dragon emerged from the quiet chamber; his aura was weak yet contained vitality, and he no longer felt strong outside but weak within, whereupon he set his mind at ease.

"Such matters must not happen again; we are like brothers, and since it arose because of me, there should be no concealment."

The Ancestral Dragon's voice lacked its former arrogance and pride; though steady, those who knew him could sense his inner unrest.

Azure Dragon.

"It was my arrogance, being too reckless, relying on my own advantages, I underestimated the serpent clan's poison; from now on I will certainly not conceal anything from my elder brother."

Azure Dragon never imagined that his own Dao could not dispel the Heavenly Serpent's toxin; instead he was tormented to unbearable pain, his cultivation making no progress.

This is ideal; the snake clan is immensely strong, its power is only surpassed by the three clans, and it is extremely ancient with deep roots—even I underestimated them.

"Fortunately, he will no longer be an enemy of the Dragon clan; although we cannot subdue them now, we have at least achieved part of our goal."

"From now on, the serpent clan will also open wide the doors of convenience for us; they also promise that although they will not participate in the three-tribe conflict, they will absolutely not allow the other two tribes to pass through their territory."

"This also counts as guarding our rear, allowing us to participate in the great conflict with peace of mind; moreover, we have allocated a branch to the Dragon clan, whose strength is no less than any of the Dragon clan's own branches."

"With such assistance, we have already exceeded our original expectations; this can also be considered a bountiful harvest."

Azure Dragon.

"Good!"
