[Although these children are still at the Foundation Establishment stage, still honing their Golden Cores, none have truly stepped into the Divine Dao.]
[But there's nothing more you can teach them.]
[How they proceed in the future depends entirely on their own choices.]
[Will they patiently refine their Golden Cores, seek opportunities to break through to the twelfth-grade Golden Core, and pursue the Divine Dao?]
[Or will they abandon the Divine Dao and choose between the Immortal Dao and Martial Dao?]
[The choice is in their own hands.]
[After all, you can't help everyone find the opportunity to break through to the Divine Dao.]
[Your words left the young boys and girls puzzled!]
[But you didn't explain further, simply saying to disband and that they need not come to you for lessons anymore.]
[Then, you stepped away.]
[It's worth mentioning that your "Eager to Teach" talent hasn't given you any rewards yet.]
[You think perhaps it will settle once these "disciples" grow a bit more.]
[You're not in a hurry about this!]
[After parting ways with those youngsters, you continued visiting acquaintances in the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe.]
[You didn't miss a single household, stopping to chat with each one.]
[Today, you seemed particularly leisurely and unusual.]
[Most people didn't notice your unusual behavior.]
[But there was one exception.]
[In the evening, when you returned home, you found Peach squatting at your door, her face full of tears.]
[You hadn't even spoken yet.]
[She was already looking at you, sobbing softly, "Young Master, are you leaving? Are you abandoning me?"]
[Hearing Peach's voice and seeing her crying, you felt a pang of sadness in your heart.]
[Originally, you planned to quietly say goodbye to everyone and leave without a trace.]
[Who knew this clever girl would find out!]
[What should you do now?]
[How should you deceive her?]
[Yes, you only thought about how to deceive her.]
[You had no intention of taking her with you.]
[After all, you don't know what the situation is like in the outside world of this ancient continent.]
[Your strength can't guarantee absolute safety.]
[Bringing Peach along might actually endanger her!]
[In fact, you initially considered staying in the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe to cultivate.]
[But after much thought, you still felt the need to go out and see the world.]
[Not only out of curiosity about ancient times, but also because there are no resources nearby the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe for you to cultivate.]
[Communicating with it might reveal some information about this ancient era.]
[Of course, you didn't act recklessly.]
[You didn't directly call out to the Azure Flood Dragon or enter the water.]
[Instead, you stood by the great river, continuously waving your hands, inscribing formation talismans.]
[You wanted to leave yourself a backup plan.]
[What if the information passed down by the tribe was wrong?]
[What if the Azure Flood Dragon was malevolent?]
[You couldn't be too careful!]
[Currently, your strength is only at the Two-Star Ancient God realm, but your Formation Dao is that of a Sixth-grade Immortal Formation Master.]
[Plus, you have the talent of the Mortal Domain.]
[With preparation, even if the Azure Flood Dragon is malevolent, you have confidence in escaping and counterattacking.]
[After all, it can't be that unlucky to encounter a Great Principal Golden Immortal level expert right from the start, right?]
[Several days later, you looked at the killing formation you had set up and nodded in satisfaction.]
[Now it's secure.]
[If the Azure Flood Dragon is malevolent.]
[Then you can activate the Mortal Domain, bringing it down to the Mortal realm together.]
[Then lure it into the formation.]
[This formation was specially modified to work with the Mortal Domain.]
[It doesn't require spiritual energy or primordial energy; it activates as soon as the formation core is touched.]
[Perfect!]
[After finishing everything, you began to softly call out to the Azure Flood Dragon by the great river!]
["Azure Flood Dragon King? Dragon King?"]
[These are the respectful titles the tribe uses for the Azure Flood Dragon, so you called it the same.]
[Unfortunately, there was no response.]
[After a long time, you felt a bit annoyed and shouted again, "Long Worm, Big Snake; hurry up and come out for your grandpa!"]
[......]
[Your bluffing strategy didn't seem to work either.]
["Could it be not at home? Or did something happen?"]
[You thought to yourself.]
[After all, you called it Long Worm and Big Snake.]
[Regardless of whether it's good or bad, it probably can't stand it, right!]
[After simulating for so many years, you know that a flood dragon is close to transforming into a dragon, and they hate being called snakes or long worms the most!]
[After much hesitation, you took a deep breath and stepped directly into the great river.]
[You wanted to go underwater to check the situation.]
