This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 900 - 456: Ancestor Dragon Swallows the Elixir, One Litter of Nine Sons_2

However, at this moment inside the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the atmosphere seemed somewhat oppressive and heavy.

The Ancestor Dragon, who had just returned from the void after enduring a tribulation, was seated on the dragon chair of the Crystal Palace, holding a harshly-worded "criticism and education meeting" with the trembling members of the Dragon Clan below.

"This catastrophe is both a danger and an opportunity!"

"In the situation where our ancients either retire or transform their Dao, have you lost your drive for progress?"

"Infinite time and space, all living beings are dragons, this is our vow."

"If even the top talents of our Dragon Clan have lost that fearless courage to face disaster and challenge head-on, if they don't dare take risks to pursue the supreme truth of the Great Dao and only think about living comfortably and surviving in a corner..."

"Then tell me, how can the multitudes of the Primordial World admire and aspire to our Dragon Clan? What reason would they have to follow us and work together to achieve the great aspiration of 'all living beings are dragons'?!"

The Ancestor Dragon grew more and more excited as he spoke, looking at the different expressions on the silent, nervous dragon talents below, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, filled with a sense of disappointment at their unfulfilled potential.

"I know you surely want to defend yourselves in your hearts by saying that after the ancient war, our Dragon Clan made an oath to guard the Four Seas and not to move recklessly, otherwise we would suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao."

"But haven't you little ones forgotten that there is actually a crucial second half to that oath—'unless there's an immeasurable tribulation, the Dragon Clan shall not leave the Four Seas'?!"

"What does 'unless there's an immeasurable tribulation' mean?! The real meaning of this is clearly telling you to be prudent and cultivate well, and not to cause trouble easily."

"But once a catastrophe breaks out that is capable of sweeping across the Three Realms and changing the landscape, that's when you can take the opportunity to legitimately stretch your muscles, affirm your existence, and maybe even gain some benefits!"

"But you are just standing still, doing nothing."

The Ancestor Dragon's emotions were indeed somewhat stirred, understandably so.

Consider the Ancestor Dragon, he traversed the Primordial Universe and roamed All Heavens, believing all his life in the motto "life does not cease, nor does the endeavor!"

After all, without endeavor, how does one pursue the Three Thousand Weak Waters?

Yet he never expected that merely a hundred primordial meetings after transforming his Dao, the young generation of Dragon Clan would become so lacking in enterprise!

So lacking in the spirit of "creating momentum"!

In today's rapidly changing and tumultuous Primordial True Realm, if you don't take the initiative to "create momentum," wouldn't you just be waiting to be mercilessly eliminated by the times?!

Faced with the Ancestor Dragon's severe criticisms filled with anger and disappointment, most of the young talents of the Dragon Clan present dared not even breathe.

Only one dragon god replied softly, "But, Ancestor, I'm cultivating the Gou Dao."

"Just seeking to preserve life in the Primordial, not striving for fame in All Heavens."

The Ancestor Dragon was stunned upon hearing this.

His dragon eyes, previously filled with fury, were instantly replaced by confusion and perplexity.

"Gou... Gou Dao? What sort of thing is that? Is there such a Dao among the Three Thousand Primordial Great Dao?"

He looked towards that speaking talent, a figure who was the apparent leader of the East Sea Dragon Clan—Aoguang.

"Little Guang," the Ancestor Dragon's tone softened significantly, with a hint of curiosity as he asked, "Where did you learn this bizarre and strange Dao from?"

"It was taught by Gui Chancellor!" Seeing that the Ancestor didn't seem to be about to lash out, Aoguang's courage grew, and he didn't hesitate to implicate Gui Chancellor standing by the side.

Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Dragon immediately cast his scrutinizing gaze towards Gui Chancellor.

Gui Chancellor coughed twice and responded, "Sire, you know that our Dragon Clan's Qiantian Palace has always been the leading 'Great Dao Theory and Practice Innovation Research Institute' in the Primordial Universe."

"This 'Gou Dao,' was specifically researched by our various researchers in Qiantian Palace, after you transformed your Dao, to adapt to the trend of the new era's development and the harsh competitive environment. It represents a new and highly promising direction for the development of Dao."

"The core idea of this Dao is quite simple, summarized in four words—'Hold steady, don't wave!'"

"Think about it, sire, in today's Primordial True Realm, Da Luo walks everywhere, Taiyi is as common as dogs."

"Those old fellows surviving from the previous era, or even the era before that, each one of them is cunning and treacherous, more deceitful than an ocean trench."

"Our young generation of Dragon Clan members, although they have good qualifications and roots, are still too young and too innocent to play mind games against them; they're really no match for them."

"So, everyone thought, rather than going out there to compete with those old foxes, risking themselves accidentally, it would be better to stay home honestly, mature steadily, and make plans later."

"Thus, once this 'Gou Dao' emerged, it was deeply loved and pursued by the masses of young clan members, gradually becoming one of the mainstream cultivation paths for our new generation in the Dragon Clan."

"Moreover..." Gui Chancellor glanced sneakily at Ancestor Dragon's now somewhat odd expression before continuing to add softly.
