When Zhang Yu was visiting the Eastern Era Path, Jiao Yao arrived at the Northern Era Path under Yi Wu's protection.
As soon as he entered, he felt the vitality flowing through his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.
This place had been modified by many true dragons, it was undoubtedly the most suitable place for dragons to survive. When he came here, he felt like a fish in water, as if he had returned to the cave where he was born. This caused his position to waver for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
Although he was a true dragon, at his cultivation level, he was more of a Daoist cultivator. In fact, he hoped that others could see him as a Daoist cultivator, but as a different species.
Tianxia's golden boat stopped at a cliff platform. He got off the golden boat and followed Yi Wu onto a flying carriage pulled by a long-winged dragon snake.
After entering this world, he could see that under the vast sky, there were tower-shaped cliffs standing on the ground. He could not help but recall the place where he lived in Ancient Xia. Even if it was two different worlds, the place where the true dragons lived was still so similar, it made him feel a sense of familiarity.
As the carriage approached, he saw small dragons in the sky surrounding them. These small dragons were three feet long, their scales were smooth and soft. They looked at the two of them with their clear eyes and let out a tender voice.
They also quickly noticed the true dragon's breath on Jiao Yao. They felt close to him, but they did not dare to come close. A few of them clung to the edge of the carriage and refused to leave. They only peeped at him secretly.
Jiao Yao felt their emotions. Although he was not a Daoist cultivator from Ancient Xia, he was surprised to see so many of his kind. He said, "Daoist Yi, do you have many people?"
Yi Wu shook his head and said, "Their wisdom is limited. Only a few can be enlightened by the ritual. Most of them are only slightly better than ordinary spiritual beasts, their achievements are not high." He paused for a moment and said, "Don't judge them by their young age. In fact, all of them are more than three hundred years old."
Jiao Yao was surprised. More than three hundred years old?
Although True Dragons had a long lifespan, they were usually very mature after a hundred years of power. These little dragons looked like they were only in their teens or twenties.
In fact, the intelligence of the True Dragon species was roughly the same as that of ordinary humans. For example, the descendant that he had entrusted to Zhang Yu was only about ten years old. His original appearance was slightly bigger than these little dragons, and he could already transform into a human form.
More than three hundred years, they could barely be considered the backbone of the dragon race.
He asked again and found out that the True Dragons of the Northern Wei World Dao had been suppressed and severely injured in the early years. Since then, their numbers had been too small. In order to continue the race, they had to reproduce in large numbers. Then, they picked out those with potential and wisdom from the vast number of juniors and taught them the Dao. Moreover, as the number increased, some of them would definitely stand out.
This did indeed alleviate the awkward situation of the True Dragons having few successors, but at the same time, there was an additional problem. As the number of descendants increased, their intelligence would continue to deteriorate. The number of outstanding juniors that were selected was not increasing, but decreasing.
This forced them to continue to increase the number of descendants. However, doing so caused the intelligence of the later generations to deteriorate further. There were even some dragons that had no intelligence at all and only had instincts like beasts.
They also knew that this method was like drinking poison to quench their thirst. However, this was the only way to continue the race. As long as they delayed, perhaps other opportunities would appear.
In this matter, the World Dao of Yuanxia would not help at all. They knew the potential of the True Dragons, so they did not want to see the True Dragons prosper. Therefore, not only did they not help, but they were more than happy to see them decline.
Jiao Yao said, "But fellow cultivator, if there is no external calamity to attack us, our vitality will be stable forever. We can take things slowly for the race. Why do you have to be so aggressive?"
Yi Wu did not hide it from him. He said bluntly, "Although the North World Dao does not have human body cultivators as the mainstream, there are still human body cultivators. They are now gradually suppressing our generation. They have the support of the World Dao in the open and in the dark. We can't compete with them in terms of authority. They are invading more and more, and our race is withering. If there is no successor, we will not be able to speak up in the long run. You can imagine what will happen then. "
This was because the World Dao was connected by marriage, bloodline, and Dao. However, when dragons and humans mated, even if there were descendants, they would not be True Dragons anymore. Thus, the True Dragons would gradually disappear. However, Yi Wu and the others did not want to see such a scene. Therefore, the True Dragons were widely ostracized in the World Dao of the Thirty-three Worlds.
Jiao Yao suddenly understood. No wonder Bei Wei Shidao valued him so much. It seemed that he was in a very awkward situation. One more clansman meant one more direction for the continuation of the clan. Moreover, he was a True Dragon who had plucked a top-grade merit fruit.
However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of an idea. After thinking for a while, he said, "Daoist Yi, do you have a way to communicate with the East World Dao?"
Yi Wu said, "Daoist Yi wants to talk to your Envoy Fangzheng?"
Jiao Yao said, "Yes."
Yi Wu shook his head, "I'm afraid that will be very difficult."
Jiao Yao immediately understood that it was not impossible. It was just that they did not want to, and that was enough. He straightened his face and said, "I am not contacting the Envoy for my own matters. I am contacting the Envoy to change the current situation of my fellow clansmen."
Yi Wu was startled. He was very sensitive to anything that could change the current situation of his clan. He immediately asked, "How?"
Jiao Yao said, "My Tianxia also has a brilliant Dao. My Envoy Tianxia is knowledgeable and has profound Dao. He also has no enmity towards us True Dragons. I have a descendant who is also under his tutelage. Perhaps he can help you find a way out."
Yi Wu heard this and said in surprise, "Is that so? Your Envoy Fangzheng has such ability? "
Jiao Yao said, "It's better to try than not to try. What if there is really a way?"
Yi Wu was very concerned about this. As Jiao Yao said, it was always good to try. What if there was a way? He said, "Daoist Jiao, please wait for a moment. I can't make the decision. I need to ask the Sect Leader first."
Jiao Yao said, "Daoist Yi, please."
After Yi Wu bowed, he called his attendants to arrange a place for Jiao Yao and left in a hurry.
Jiao Yao stayed in the Dragon Cliff Palace. After only half a day, Yi Wu came and said, "Daoist Jiao, the Sect Leader has agreed for you to contact Envoy Zhang. Furthermore, the Sect Leader said that Daoist Jiao can talk to him freely. I guarantee that no one will overhear your conversation."
After all, this matter involved the reproduction of the True Dragons. It was necessary to pay attention to it. Even if there was a slight possibility, they had to seize it.
Even if the two took the opportunity to talk about something, it was not a big deal.
The information that they could reveal now could be revealed after the diplomatic mission returned. Even if there was a leak, it would be Yuan Xia's secret. Why should the Northern Wei World Dao worry about it?
Jiao Yao said, "Thank you very much."
Yi Wu shook his head and said, "Don't thank me. I'm just thinking for the future generations of the clan. I hope that Envoy Fang really has a way."
He left the Dragon Cliff Palace with Jiao Yao and rode a boat to a plain. He pointed at a circular wall below and said, "This is the 'Well of All Emptiness'. It is used by the Bei Wei World Dao to communicate with other worlds. Before this, the worlds have made an agreement that if we use this to communicate, no one, under any circumstances, can stop or observe us. Daoist Yi, please use this object to contact Envoy Zhang. "
Jiao Yao bowed to him and went down on the cloud.
In the Eastern World Dao, Zhang Yu's external body was sitting. Yan Yuming walked quickly to the bottom of the stairs and bowed, "Teacher. Zhenren Cai just said that someone from the Northern Wei World Dao sent a message here, saying that he wants to communicate with teacher. Teacher, could it be Venerable Jiao? "
Zhang Yu opened his eyes. He thought for a moment and said, "I know."
He stood up and walked out of the arched bridge hall. Cai Xing was already waiting there. After greeting him, Cai Xing brought him to a plateau. In front of him was a large well with flowing jade water. Looking at it, it had a radius of about five miles. Rather than calling it a well, it would be better to call it a small lake.
Cai Xing said, "Envoy Zhang, this' All Emptiness Well 'is used to communicate with other worlds and worlds. Outsiders can't hear each other's words. You can use it without worry."
Zhang Yu nodded. He stepped on the Yunzhi Jade Platform and floated down slowly. He came to the top of the All Emptiness Well and felt a little to know how to use it.
After coming to Yuan Xia, he noticed that there was no turbid tide here. Therefore, the communication between cultivators was much better than Tianxia. However, Yuan Xia was different. No matter how good the communication was, it was only limited to the communication between cultivators of the upper levels. It had almost nothing to do with the lower levels.
In Daoist Sui's records, there was no mention of this item. This was because the book didn't mention any formation equipment of the upper levels. He would pay more attention to this when he came down.
He thought for a moment and stepped on the water surface. Then, his body sank slowly. All the sound and light faded away. The surroundings seemed to be sealed. Other than his existence, there was only silence.
After a few breaths of time, a wave of golden light spread out and converged into Jiao Yao's figure in front of him. When the latter saw Zhang Yu, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Ting Zhi."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and bowed back. He said, "Daoist Jiao, why are you looking for me?"
Jiao Yao said, "There's something that might be useful to me, Tianxia."
He immediately described the matter of Beiwei World Dao and the True Dragon Clan. The words he used were all the secret words he and Zhang Yu had agreed on. Even if the Universal Well wasn't known to outsiders, he didn't dare to relax. These secret words were based on a certain Dao technique of Tianxia. Yuan Xia couldn't decipher it even if she heard it.
After that, he continued, "Minister Ting, I think that Tianxia's achievements in the path of mystical creatures are rarely better than Yuanxia's. Therefore, I'm thinking that if Tianxia can solve the problem of the True Dragon Clan's continuation for the Northern Wei World Dao, we can use this as a condition to obtain more information about Yuanxia's internal affairs even if the Northern Wei World Dao doesn't lean towards us."
After a pause, he continued, "Even if this person is unwilling, if we can strengthen the True Dragon Clan's power, it will undoubtedly increase the conflict between Beiwei World Dao and other Dao."
