Yunkong Mountain.

Songzhu Immortal Monarch was indeed Pine Bamboo Immortal, just without using his own body while in the Lower Realm.

When his Divine Soul returned to Yunkong Mountain and his original body through the passage, Songzhu Immortal Monarch opened his eyes, a flash of clarity followed by bewilderment in his gaze.

What was I supposed to do?

Ah yes, go to the Ancestral Land!

What to do there...

Do what, again?

A moment of forgetfulness led Songzhu Immortal Monarch to decide to head to the Ancestral Land first, thinking perhaps he'd remember once he arrived.

Yunkong Mountain's Ancestral Land, where the Immortals gathered.

The Immortal Monarch, led by the Immortal Master of Yunkong Mountain, occupied different positions within the Great Array, using its power to manifest a funnel-like cloud scroll on the Sky Dome.

Wind and thunder surged, the void cracked.

Vaguely, a low dragon's roar seemed to emanate from within, a massive shadow spanning tens of thousands of miles appeared intermittently in the void's fissures, as if ready to break through layers of constraints to descend here.

"Immortal Master, this Dragon Soul is too strong. Where exactly does it come from?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Yunkong Mountain's Great Elder Wu Yuzhe glanced at Immortal Master Ling Xiuyuan with a slight frown: "No matter what collaborations you have with Zhu Tianqi, at least tell us the origin of this Dragon Soul.

Otherwise, we wouldn't know how to bring this Dragon Soul into the heavens."

Ling Xiuyuan looked up at the pitch-black dragon on the Sky Dome, a flash of fervor in his eyes: "It's the Candle Dragon."

"Candle Dragon!?"

Upon hearing this, the other Hidden Immortal Monarch's expressions changed—Candle Dragon?

Wasn't the Candle Dragon long gone?

Although the Hundred Clans all believed the Candle Dragon had ascended rather than died, the ascended Human Clan from the Outer Heaven hadn't learned much about the Candle Dragon due to their difficult circumstances, making Ling Xiuyuan's words unbelievable.

This Dragon Soul is the Candle Dragon?

Given the Candle Dragon's great prowess, does it really need the help of the Human Clan to descend?

Bear in mind, the Candle Dragon isn't like other races. It is a product derived from the Cloud Peak Heavenly Dao.

Even if it can't return directly, it certainly doesn't need to rely on Yunkong Mountain's powers.

Moreover... isn't borrowing the Spirit Clan's strength better than relying on Yunkong Mountain's?

So, is this truly the Candle Dragon's Dragon Soul?

Wu Yuzhe looked at the obscured black dragon on the Sky Dome, frowning slightly, according to records, the Candle Dragon should be dark in color, how could it be pitch black?

"Listen up!" Ling Xiuyuan's voice resounded like thunder: "Harness the Ancestral Land's power, connect the Dragon Hall's Dragon Soul, summon the Candle Dragon Dragon Soul to the world!"

Wu Yuzhe and the others exchanged glances. Did the Immortal Master mean the Dragon Hall of the Dragon Clan is also doing the same thing?

If they summon the Dragon Soul here, is the Dragon Clan summoning the dragon's body?

If the Candle Dragon returns to the world, how can the Human Clan fight?

Though the three Divine Mountains of the Upper Realm don't regard the Lower Realm Human Clan as people, their goal isn't to ally with the Demon Clan but to dominate Cloud Peak.

If the Candle Dragon returns, can the Human Clan defeat the Demon Clan?

The Immortal Master's behavior, somewhat abnormal.

Just as Wu Yuzhe and other Immortal Monarchs had this thought, Ling Xiuyuan's voice became a bit anxious: "You fools, really planning to hand the summoned Candle Dragon Dragon Soul over to the Dragon Clan?

The Candle Dragon derives from the Heavenly Dao, if we can absorb its Dragon Soul, wouldn't we be able to connect with the Heavenly Dao?"

After Ling Xiuyuan's words fell, many showed joyous expressions, but Wei Yuzhe and other Immortal Monarchs sensed something was amiss.

Not to mention whether such a large Dragon Soul could be absorbed by Yunkong Mountain, if Zhu Tianqi discovered the Immortal Master's non-cooperation, he would likely come personally to settle the score.

At that time, Hidden Life Mountain and Xuanri Mountain would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to snatch the Candle Dragon Dragon Soul, and what would Yunkong Mountain fight with?

"Immortal Master..."

Wei Yuzhe opened his mouth, wanting to clear his doubts, when from the corner of his eye he noticed someone speeding towards.

Songzhu?

Back from the Spirit Clan so quickly?

Wei Yuzhe thought, while Ling Xiuyuan immediately issued a command: "Songzhu, head to the Xun Position Array Eye, quickly!"

Songzhu Immortal Monarch immediately stopped, looking up at the black dragon's Dragon Soul on the Sky Dome.

"What are you standing there for!?" Ling Xiuyuan's brow furrowed: "Get moving!"

Only then did Songzhu Immortal Monarch look towards Ling Xiuyuan, conveying Lu Yunzhu's message, and proceeded to find the Xun Position Array Eye, darting directly over.

Ling Xiuyuan frowned slightly, the others pondered the message Songzhu Immortal Monarch brought back.

At that moment, Songzhu Immortal Monarch suddenly altered direction, rushing towards the Ancestral Land.

"Immortal Master, save..."

Songzhu Immortal Monarch's voice carried intense panic, drawing everyone's attention.

?

!

But in the next instant—

Boom!

A deafening explosion reverberated throughout the inside and outside of the Ancestral Land.

A Hidden Immortal Monarch in the early stage of Divine Concealment had self-destructed, causing an extraordinary impact, the erupting radiance became like the midday sun, scorching and blinding.

Many Divine Immortals were directly blasted away without defense, Hidden Immortal Monarchs weren't severely impacted, but the Ancestral Land was damaged, and even part of the organized Great Array shattered.

Sitting cross-legged in the void, Ling Xiuyuan's expression changed, he quickly stood up to disperse the Spiritual Power and soul light by the Songzhu Immortal Monarch's self-detonation using Yunkong Mountain's Great Array power, his face grimly looked at the east side collapsed Ancestral Land.

He hurriedly looked up, with the Great Array damaged, the black dragon seemed to let out an enraged roar, a third of its body trapped in the void, black blood splattering.

Ling Xiuyuan's face was unsightly, and he couldn't concern himself with what happened to Songzhu Immortal Monarch, he quickly shouted: "Reconstruct the Great Array immediately, there can be no delay!"
