Chapter 124 Peacock and Golden Roc
"I don't care who you kill, just don't kill your own people," Yuan Shi replied without hesitation.
Chang Hao gently shook his folding fan. "Don't worry, my cultivation and power are for protecting my own people. Killing my own people would be putting the cart before the horse. If that were the case, there would be no need for this cultivation and the power that made me lose my way."
Yuanshi quietly tidied Chang Hao's flowing hair, but unfortunately, even after several attempts, a few unruly strands would still stick out and assert their presence.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Ao Kuang came to greet him with a passionate look in his eyes.
"Alright, the cultivation method is here. Remember not to pass it on to outsiders. The spiritual plants needed for cultivation should not be a problem for the Dragon Clan." Chang Hao gestured for Yuan Shi to give the jade slip to the Dragon King.
Yuanshi secretly kept Chang Hao's copy and gave away his own copy. Ao Kuang did not notice anything unusual and held the cultivation technique as if it were a treasure.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. I have noted it down."
In the primordial world, those with high cultivation and strong fists have a voice. Besides the dragon race, there are many other powerful races in the four seas, such as the Xuan Turtle. Even if the dragon race can only retreat to the four seas in the future, Ao Kuang does not want its territory to shrink further.
The Four Dragon Kings were at a loss for how to thank Chang Hao for bringing them a turning point, so they could only keep stuffing rare treasures into his hands, including countless innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots.
There were also quite a few ancient spiritual plants. At a glance, they were only slightly inferior to those excavated from Buzhou Mountain back then. Chang Hao's World-Destroying Black Lotus was about to overflow. No wonder Luo Hou had been plundering the three races so ruthlessly back then.
If the dragon race, now in decline, is this wealthy, imagine how powerful they must have been at their peak.
"Gentlemen, your willingness is appreciated. Since you have not encountered any powerful enemies and the hidden dangers of your clan have been resolved, I have other important matters to attend to and must take my leave now," Chang Hao said hastily, seeing that it would be too late to leave if he did not depart soon. "If you encounter any emergencies, you know how to contact me."
Ao Kuang wished Chang Hao would just stay in the Dragon Palace and never leave. Besides, he had only been there a short time. He sent a message to his brothers, but none of them arrived. This was not his fault.
"Your Excellency, why not bring a few dragons with you to serve you? They can do anything." Ao Kuang pointed to the elites of his clan that he had specially selected, each one handsome and well-proportioned.
"No need, I have no shortage of attendants."
Chang Hao did not understand the hidden meaning in Ao Kuang's words. In Chang Hao's view, the creatures of the prehistoric world were very simple and innocent, so much so that Chang Hao himself had become simple and innocent after living in such an environment for a long time.
“Your Majesty, they are willing to do anything,” Ao Kuang emphasized once again.
Chang Hao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ao Kuang with suspicion. Ao Kuang was also smiling meaningfully and winking.
Chang Hao shuddered almost imperceptibly as memories of his time in the palace flooded his mind. How could he have forgotten the saying, "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature"? He'd heard that the dragon race was inherently... well...
“Ao Kuang, I appreciate your kindness, but I have no shortage of servants. I am too busy with many matters to stay any longer, so I will take my leave now,” Chang Hao said, pretending not to understand. “Please wait, everyone.”
Chang Hao fled the East Sea Dragon Palace as if escaping. Yuanshi laughed and said, "A few subordinates, is it really necessary to do this? If you don't like it, just leave Lishan." If Yuanshi knew all the uses of those attendants, he would have wanted to tear Ao Kuang apart.
"..." Chang Hao's expression was very complicated. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. Well, it's better not to say it and pollute Yuan Shi's pure mind.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable should have stood in the Thirty-Three Heavens, untouched by the mortal world.
"You guys are so slow," Tongtian was getting impatient. "If you're any later, I'll just leave on my own."
"We've arrived, let's go, where are we going now?" Chang Hao himself didn't have a destination; he was just following Yuan Shi and the others around.
“We’re in the East China Sea, so let’s head east and then turn back at the end, what do you think?” Tongtian suggested. “I think our elder brother will only stay in the east, not in the west or other places.”
“Good, let’s do as my third brother says.” Yuanshi agreed with Tongtian’s judgment.
Chang Hao nodded in agreement, seemingly unconcerned.
"Strange," Tongtian said, standing at the Nanming Undying Volcano, full of confusion. "Where did my elder brother go? We've already reached the Undying Volcano, and further ahead is the Ruins of Return. My elder brother wouldn't be going to the Ruins of Return to seek a chance to become a saint, would he?"
Undeterred, Tongtian searched the Undying Volcano thoroughly, but instead of finding Laozi, he retrieved two eggs from it.
“This is…” Yuanshi narrowed his eyes, carefully checked, and said with certainty, “This is the egg of the Ancestral Phoenix.”
"Hey, Second Brother, how did you figure that out?" Tongtian had originally wanted to keep them in suspense, but now that was that.
“Naturally, it was calculated,” Yuanshi said seriously. “Could it be that he could tell from the sight?” There were only two eggs, and he didn’t even examine them, so of course he couldn’t tell what bloodline they were.
"So easy to calculate?" Tongtian was shocked. "How could you have calculated the secrets of the Ancestral Phoenix so easily if the secrets of heaven were not so shrouded in mystery?" What bad things had he done? Wouldn't they be calculated very soon?
"The future is hard to predict, but the past is something we can control perfectly well." Yuanshi looked at Tongtian with a half-smile. That's how it is. He knows everything bad things you've done in the past.
Tongtian angrily threw the egg to the ground, "I can't live like this anymore." Having an older brother who predicts what you've done and what you're planning to do every day is truly maddening.
"You just wait, I'm going to learn how to calculate with my fingers too, and I'll learn to block you out so you can't calculate anything."
Yuanshi sighed inwardly. If only it were this easy to predict Chang Hao's whereabouts. He found it very difficult to even predict Chang Hao's movements, and he could never get it right.
Chang Hao, who was observing the immortal volcano, felt something roll to his feet. Looking down, he saw two huge eggs with lots of egg white, which looked delicious.
A sudden surge of appetite arose within Chang Hao; he had never wanted to eat any food so much before.
Feeling guilty, Chang Hao examined the two eggs and found that they were still egg white and yolk inside, with only wisps of shimmering light flowing through them. This put Chang Hao at ease.
He arranged the two eggs on a stand, letting his unique flame burn beneath them. The eggs looked extraordinary, and as long as he controlled his strength, Chang Hao wasn't afraid of burning them.
These two eggs were laid by Yuan Feng with all his cultivation. If Chang Hao were to eat them, they would be very nourishing and would also be helpful to his hidden injuries to his soul. Although Chang Hao did not know this, his nature as a Golden Crow would prompt him to make a decision that would benefit himself.
Chang Hao thought he was just craving something. He had eaten countless delicacies along the way, but since arriving in the prehistoric world, he had never had a proper meal. All he had eaten was fruit. Living on dew and wind was a true reflection of his reality.
It would be one thing if he had never tasted delicious food, but the key point is that Chang Hao has never suffered any hardship in terms of food, clothing, housing, or transportation along the way.
"Chang Hao, what are you doing?" Tongtian asked, puzzled.
Chang Hao: "Roasted egg."
Yuan Shi sat down curiously beside Chang Hao and asked, "Do you really like these two eggs?"
"I love it! I love it so much I could swallow it whole." Chang Hao stared intently at the egg, waiting for the shell to turn black before he could eat it.
"I'll treat you two to eggs. I'll keep the egg whites, and you can each have one yolk." Chang Hao distributed them himself, and everything was ready, just waiting for the eggs to cook.
"That Chang Hao," Tongtian leaned closer to Chang Hao, "are you really going to eat them?"
