"..."
Upon hearing this, the overseas human race, seahorse race, and Kui Niu race all fell silent.
Their sects, races, and descendants are still alive; they have not yet been captured or killed by Lu Tao.
If they want to.
They could retreat there, thus preserving their sect and race.
In the past, they might not have thought much of it, because Lu Tao simply chose to avoid the divine array, seemingly unable to break it.
But now...
As it turns out, Lu Tao wasn't helpless against the defensive divine array; it was simply that his physical body was absent.
only.
Now that we've become enemies, if we just retreat, won't we face retribution later?
Even if all the martial gods swore an oath, could they really believe in the oath of martial arts?
cannot!
They knew very well that the so-called martial arts oath could be broken at a certain price, especially after Da Gan defeated the demon and monster races. Who knew what kind of rare treasures Da Gan could obtain from the demon and monster realms?
Therefore.
These forces and races had no choice but to painfully abandon them.
Dismiss those offspring and abandon their old nests and strongholds.
Then he went on a crazy fight with Da Gan, venting all his resentment, frustration, and anger on Da Gan.
...
Pop!
Dragon Palace.
With a soft sound, the defensive formation was broken, and a long, narrow palace, thousands of feet long, appeared before Lu Tao and the others.
Buzz—
As the palace gates opened, an extremely rich surge of primordial energy from heaven and earth rushed out.
"Hiss—"
In that instant.
All the disciples of the Immortal Sect, including Lu Tao, couldn't help but gasp.
This is because the primordial energy of heaven and earth is too pure.
With their qualifications and talents.
With just one breath, the vital energy of heaven and earth filled his entire body, and as the cultivation technique circulated for one cycle, all of this vital energy was refined.
In an instant.
Once refined, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be completely controlled by them, as easily as using their own arms.
"My God, this spiritual vein is terrifying."
"If we can cultivate on this spiritual vein, our cultivation speed will definitely increase by more than ten times."
"We've struck it rich! This spiritual vein is a thousand feet long, enough for us to cultivate for a very long time."
All the disciples of the Immortal Sect were overjoyed.
Lu Tao couldn't help but show a broad smile and asked, "Old Jiao, what grade is this spiritual vein?"
“Spiritual veins are divided into four grades: lower, middle, upper, and top grade. The spiritual vein of my Jiaolong clan is a top grade spiritual vein.”
The old dragon replied respectfully.
"A superior spiritual vein, not bad at all."
Lu Tao was very satisfied upon hearing this, and then instructed his disciples to work together to move the spiritual vein into the cave, "Be careful, don't break it."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The disciples of the Immortal Sect sprang into action, standing in four directions, circulating their abundant inner energy, and working together to move the spiritual veins.
"Aww—"
The spiritual vein seemed to possess a spirit, and when the disciples of the Immortal Sect moved it, it emitted a deafening dragon roar, causing tremors to erupt in the seabed.
but.
Under the overwhelming power of over seven hundred Martial Kings from the Immortal Sect, it ultimately struggled in vain and was moved into the Immortal Sect's cave.
At this point, everything belonging to the Flood Dragon Clan had been completely looted by the Immortal Sect.
"Go and try practicing it to see the effects."
Seeing the excited and expectant expressions on his disciples' faces, Lu Tao couldn't help but smile and let them enter the cave to cultivate.
immediately.
Lu Tao looked at the old dragon, handed him the communication bead, and said, "Send a message to your ancestor, telling them to withdraw from the Outer Heaven, otherwise... Also, don't mention the existence of other disciples of the Immortal Sect."
"yes!"
The old dragon knew that this matter concerned the life and death of its dragon clan, so it dared not delay and hurriedly sent a message to its ancestor.
However--
In just ten breaths, the old dragon's expression suddenly darkened, and his whole body seemed to lose its vitality.
Seeing this, Lu Tao frowned slightly and asked, "What? Have you been abandoned?"
The old dragon remained silent, nodding quietly.
It never expected that its ancestors would be so heartless as to abandon the dragon clan and all the dragons in the Dragon Palace.
You need to know.
The number of dragons in the Dragon Palace exceeds five thousand.
Moreover, each of them possesses extraordinary talent, and upon reaching adulthood, they will at least attain the Divine Platform Realm.
Yet this group of talented younger generations was directly abandoned by the ancestor of the Jiaolong clan.
It harbored immense resentment.
Compared to its hatred for Lu Tao, it hated its own ancestor even more.
Lu Tao was the enemy, so there was nothing wrong with killing them. But his own ancestor chose to abandon them when he could have retreated.
How could it accept this?
Lu Tao sighed softly and said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me."
then.
Lu Tao's expression hardened, and he was about to order Shan Yu to devour all the souls and consciousness of the Jiaolong clan.
At that very moment.
"Please have mercy, Master."
The old dragon suddenly knelt before Lu Tao and prayed, "My dragon clan wishes to serve our master and the Immortal Sect for all eternity, to become the master and the mount of the Immortal Sect disciples, and never betray them."
"I destroyed your dragon race, don't you hate me?"
Lu Tao's expression was somewhat strange.
This old dragon actually pulled this stunt on him.
Given Lu Tao's character, he would rather these dragons of the Jiaolong clan curse him than he would feel more at ease killing them all.
"It's impossible not to hate, but we were enemies before, so there was nothing wrong with my master killing my dragon clan."
The old dragon replied calmly, "But now, my dragon clan has been abandoned by our ancestor. If we choose to join the Immortal Sect, the dragon clan can still live. It's just like we're living in a different place. In fact, following the Immortal Sect might be even better. So why should we hate our master or the Immortal Sect?"
"..."
Lu Tao was somewhat stunned upon hearing this.
Upon closer reflection, it is indeed true.
Everything belonging to the Jiaolong clan was taken away by the Immortal Sect. Although the Jiaolong themselves had their souls and consciousness controlled, their physical bodies were not completely destroyed. After all, Jiaolong meat was also a resource.
The Immortal Sect is short of resources, so how could it squander them?
If they return to the Immortal Sect, their physical bodies will be restored, and their souls and consciousness will return to their bodies. Wouldn't that be the same as living in a different place?
The only thing lost was that group of ancestors from beyond the heavens.
However, those ancestors had already abandoned them.
In response to this.
Why should they be loyal to their ancestors? They can also abandon their ancestors.
This is Lao Jiao's choice.
It must be said, he is very clever.
Lu Tao stared at the old dragon, speechless for a long time.
He didn't quite understand these feelings of the Jiaolong clan, but upon closer reflection, he found them to be quite reasonable.
Thinking this, Lu Tao hesitated.
At this moment, seeing Lu Tao hesitate, the old dragon said directly, "Master, in the treasure trove of my dragon clan, there is a secret method to control the soul. Once the soul is marked, one can never betray it for the rest of one's life, even if one is a martial god."
This is the secret method of enslavement that Shan Yu obtained.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao's eyes lit up.
He had long coveted this secret method.
When he plundered the treasure vault of the Flood Dragon Clan, there were indeed many jade slips inside, but he didn't have time to look at them one by one, so he threw them all into his cave.
Let the clone handle the tidying up.
"Now that we have this secret technique..."
Lu Tao pondered, considering the pros and cons of accepting the Jiaolong clan.
The downside is the concern that they might be hypocritical, betray the Immortal Sect, or rebel against it once they become powerful enough.
but.
With secret techniques and unwavering loyalty, there's nothing to fear.
Even if that secret technique, through certain methods, could make someone not completely obedient like Shan Yu, it would come at a price that only the demon and monster races could afford.
Clearly, this secret method is extraordinary.
certainly.
Lu Tao could not place all his hopes on the secret method of enslaving the Jiaolong clan.
He can combine other enslavement techniques and create a more robust enslavement secret method, so that even if these dragons become Martial Gods or even above Martial Gods in the future, he won't have to worry about anything.
As for the benefits of accepting them.
Pythons can molt into dragons, so once a dragon grows up, can it eventually molt into a divine dragon?
These are over five thousand dragons.
Once they all transform into dragons, every disciple of the Immortal Sect will be a dragon knight.
Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem so bad.
Therefore.
After a moment's thought, Lu Tao nodded and said, "Very well, it's fine to accept you. However, you need to persuade the other dragons of the Flood Dragon Clan to sincerely submit. Those who do not submit will not be accepted by the Immortal Sect."
If the Immortal Sect doesn't accept you, there's only one outcome—death!
The old dragon was well aware of this, but it was not worried. It immediately assured, "Yes, Master, rest assured. If any dragons do not submit, you will not have to lift a finger. This old servant will personally kill them."
"Okay, go ahead."
Lu Tao took the old dragon into his cave and sent it to persuade the other dragons.
He himself instructed his clones to prioritize finding the secret method of enslavement, while also studying other enslavement techniques.
then.
Lu Tao glanced silently at the ruins of the Flood Dragon Clan, then instantly burst out of the sea and flew stealthily towards the other clans.
