Chapter 13 Riding a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, Soaring to the Immortal Island
"Your Excellency, this is my elder brother's fourth son, Ao Yuan. His origin is a five-clawed golden dragon, and his cultivation is at the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm."
Zhulong introduced Lingxiao.
A young man dressed in golden armor walked out with brisk movements and bowed to Ling Xiao and the other two.
Ling Xiao nodded to himself.
He knew that dragons distinguished their status by the number of claws they had.
For example, the Ancestral Dragon was a twelve-clawed golden dragon.
"Your Excellency, this is my eldest brother's ninth son, Ao Cang. He is blessed with great fortune, possessing nine claws, and is now at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"
When Zhulong introduced a young man in golden robes, his tone was quite smug.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, and he fixed his gaze on Ao Cang.
The boy looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was very handsome with delicate features. His dragon blood was extremely pure, and the aura of a true dragon he exuded far surpassed that of all the other young dragons present.
"Little Dragon Ao Cang greets Your Excellency!"
Ao Cang lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, cupped his hands in a salute, and spoke with utmost respect.
Dragons worship the strong, which is one of the reasons why powerful individuals emerge from the dragon race.
Get up.
Ling Xiao spoke slowly, already having made up his mind.
Zhulong looked at the remaining two young dragon heroes and introduced them: "Your Excellency, these are my eldest brother's seventh son, Ao Zhan, and his tenth son, Ao Yun. Both of them have five claws."
Ling Xiao nodded, his gaze falling on Ao Cang, and asked, "Are you willing to come with me?"
Ao Cang, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly looked up, his face flushed, and nodded with delight, replying, "Thank you for your appreciation, Master! This humble dragon is willing to serve you faithfully!"
Ao Yuan, Ao Zhan, and Ao Yun—a fleeting look of disappointment crossed their eyes.
All the princesses looked at Ao Cang with envy.
Next, Jieyin chose Ao Zhan, and Zhunti chose Ao Yuan.
Now, all three brothers had pure-blooded true dragon mounts.
Ao Yun, the only one left behind, appeared uneasy, clutching the hem of his clothes with both hands, his head lowered, hiding his face in the shadow of the palace eaves.
Zhulong's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at the frail young man in the yellow robe, then at Lingxiao, preparing to speak.
Just as he was about to speak, Ling Xiao reached out his hand, signaling him to be quiet.
Ling Xiao looked at the yellow-robed youth in the shadows, recognizing him as Huang Long, the infamous "Four No's True Man," one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the second generation of the Chan Sect. He shook his head and smiled, then said loudly, "This child is indeed destined for me, and his aptitude is quite good. However, I cannot accept him today, as he carries a great karmic debt to settle!"
"Once you have settled all your karmic debts, you will be qualified to become my disciple."
With the Dragon Clan's affairs settled, Lingxiao, along with the brothers Jieyin and Zhunti, prepared to leave. Zhulong, leading the Dragon Clan, tried every means to persuade them to stay, and then held a grand banquet.
At the head of the banquet, Lingxiao inquired about the Three Immortal Islands, and Zhulong truthfully told him.
The two fairy islands of Fangzhang Yingzhou have not yet appeared in the world.
However, the fairy island of Penglai has already appeared in the world!
According to Zhulong, hundreds of millions of years ago, a dazzling celestial light was cast down from the depths of chaos.
The celestial light fell on the west side of the East Sea, transforming into an island shrouded by an innate array.
Before the Immortal Island Formation stood a stone tablet with the four large characters "Penglai Immortal Island" inscribed on it.
Zhulong also led many high-ranking officials to break the formation, but the formation was extremely thick, and no matter what methods they used, they could not break it.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes.
All divine beings in the world possess sentience and are inherently proud and arrogant.
There are also innate grand formations!!
They will never open their hearts so easily when they encounter mediocre people.
However, Lingxiao was born from chaos, favored by the Great Dao, and was blessed with great fortune from birth.
With this in mind, Ling Xiao bid farewell to Zhulong and led everyone away from the Dragon Palace.
When it reappeared, it was already deep in the East China Sea.
Before them, bursts of rosy light and billowing spiritual mist revealed a vast immortal island spanning hundreds of millions of miles, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Outside the fairy island, beams of blazing light were projected across the sea like stars.
Ling Xiao felt the innate aura of Wuyun rushing towards him, mixed with a vast and heavy aura.
Without further hesitation, a divine rainbow flashed between Ling Xiao's brows, and he already held the extremely sharp Demon-Slaying Halberd in his hand.
With the appearance of the Demon-Slaying Halberd, a fierce storm arose in the sea, and the stars in the void trembled.
Ling Xiao flew towards the array's core like lightning, slashing down with his Demon-Slaying Halberd, the surging magical light blade crashing down.
Then, a surge of deception, trickery, and divine power from the two Great Dao Laws surged forth, transforming into chains of divine order that bombarded the innate grand formation.
A hundred years later!
boom!!!
The intelligence of the innate grand formation finally submitted, and the immortal island appeared before everyone.
Lingxiao and his group stared intently at the immortal island, and were immediately speechless with shock at the sight before them.
What a blessed land!
Under divine perception, this immortal island is a small world hidden in the cracks of the void barrier.
An inner world similar to the primordial world.
Inside, cranes and deer roam freely, and rare and exotic animals abound.
Occasionally, earth-shattering roars of beasts could be heard, causing the endless towering ancient trees to shake violently.
As far as the eye could see, a chaotic spiritual energy, almost liquefied, permeated the sky above the immortal island.
It should be understood that chaotic spiritual energy is the most beneficial to cultivators, followed by innate spiritual energy, and then acquired spiritual energy.
Ling Xiao immediately noticed that in the distant immortal forest, there were spiritual roots of various shapes and colors.
The endless branches and leaves of the immortals swayed gently, shimmering with a crystal-clear radiance.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath and thought to himself, "With the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Lotus enveloping me, no one can investigate the secrets of heaven within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around me."
Full of security.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Xiao told everyone that they should split up to search for the treasure and meet up here in five hundred years.
This fairy island is too big; only by splitting up to search can we maximize our time gains.
After bidding farewell to Lingxiao, everyone transformed into streaks of divine light and fled in different directions.
Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and during this time, Lingxiao reaped extremely rich rewards!
But before they could take stock, they turned their attention to the distance.
In the center of the fairy island stood a huge lotus pond, above which spiritual energy rained down.
The lotus pond is filled with many vibrant lotus flowers.
Among them, a white lotus stood out from the crowd, its entire body exuding a pure and ethereal aura, making it quite extraordinary.
It's clearly a naturally formed spiritual treasure!
And this white lotus seems to be able to purify all the filth in this world.
Lingxiao walked through the air, slowly approaching it. The closer he got, the clearer and more serene his heart felt.
His mind raced, recalling many prehistoric novels he had read in his previous life.
The Chaos Green Lotus once bore five lotus seeds.
A mature lotus seed transforms into a twenty-four-petaled Pure Blue Lotus, which has not yet been born.
It will be acquired by the Three Pure Ones in the future.
Secondly, there are the twelve-grade merit lotus, the twelve-grade karmic fire red lotus, and the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus.
The last lotus seed has the most miraculous effects; it is the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus.
However, since Pangu created the world, the whereabouts of this lotus platform have been unknown.
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised. He immediately raised his hand and used his magic to pull the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus out of the lotus pond.
He understood the power of this magical artifact.
If one sits upright on the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus, a Pure World Array can be formed to protect oneself, providing astonishing defense.
In addition, it has another powerful effect: the purifying light that transforms impurities into purity.
Simply activate the lotus platform and use magic to unleash the purifying light of the immortals, and the karmic calamities of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans will gradually dissipate.
Ling Xiao absorbed it into his sea of consciousness.
Then, looking into his sea of consciousness and seeing the dazzling array of divine objects, he revealed a radiant smile.
Over the course of five hundred years, he acquired the world's most renowned healing elixir, the Three Lights Divine Water.
The Three Divine Waters are: golden Sunlight Divine Water, silver Moonlight Divine Water, and purple Starlight Divine Water.
The three divine waters, if used separately, are the most poisonous substances in the world.
However, if used together, just one drop is enough to bring back life to a dying immortal.
Ling Xiao looked at the treasure bottle in his hand. This small treasure bottle was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that he had found, the Qiankun Sun and Moon Bottle, which could even contain the heavens and the moon.
Inside, it was like a treasure bottle containing a universe, with three colors of divine water that were pure and flawless.
However, it seemed to stretch on forever.
It is conceivable that Ling Xiao obtained a whole bottle of Three Lights Divine Water. If you were to calculate it, the volume would be more unfathomable than the waters of the Four Seas.
Unbelievable!
The Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle in the hands of the Primordial Celestial Venerable will only automatically produce a drop of Three Lights Divine Water after 300,000 years.
The fact that only one drop was produced in such a long time is enough to show how rare the Three Lights Divine Water is.
Besides the Three Lights Divine Water, Lingxiao also harvested two spiritual roots that ranked among the top ten innate spiritual roots.
