Overseas, Four Seas Gate.
The terrifying waves that should have been everywhere fell silent here alone. The sea surface was as calm as a flat lake, while beneath the sea surface was a profound darkness.
Not until a touch of light descended was the silence broken.
In the darkness, light rippled, stirring up water waves. A burly man walked out, the large robe on his body appearing somewhat tight.
The burly man stood on the water surface, his eyebrows raised slightly:
"[Vast Ocean Water] really recovered a bit of its divine wonder."
Thinking back to those years, when [Vast Ocean Water] was still supreme, sea water was divided into clear and turbid. Turbid water was heavy in nature, known as "Goose feathers cannot float, reed flowers sink to the bottom."
But ever since [Vast Ocean Water] lost its position, such divine wonders no longer appeared.
However, coming to the Dragon Palace again today, he surprisingly saw the former divine wonder again. A guess immediately formed in his heart: Could it be... that old dragon really succeeded?
Just at this moment, the seawater suddenly rose.
Immediately after, several shrimp soldiers and crab generals walked out of the water. Seeing the burly man, they said nothing further, immediately performing a grand salute and kowtowing, shouting loudly:
"Greetings to Great Sage Xuan Yuan!"
"All rise." The burly man waved his hand: "I was invited to attend the banquet. Where is the Old Dragon Lord? He called me from thousands of miles away; I wonder for what matter?"
"Replying to the Great Sage, the Dragon Lord is hosting a banquet."
"...What?"
Hearing this, Great Sage Xuan Yuan frowned tightly instantly. If it were before, hearing these words, he probably would have flung his sleeves and left long ago.
But now... "Take me in."
Great Sage Xuan Yuan thought for a moment, deciding to play it safe. After all, if [Vast Ocean Water] returned to the supreme position, the situation would be different again.
Soon, he followed the shrimp soldiers and crab generals into the depths of the sea, passing through that profound and boundless darkness.
What then entered his eyes was a sight of shocking golden splendor. It was the undersea Dragon Palace, utterly different from the gloomy seabed outside.
At this moment, it shone with unexpected radiance, a scene bustling with life and excitement.
The next second, a burst of hearty laughter rumbled out.
"Hahaha."
Great Sage Xuan Yuan heard clearly; it was the Old Dragon Lord's voice. Without even seeing the person, just hearing the voice knew the other party was in a state of smug satisfaction.
Seems it really succeeded.
Otherwise, with that old loach's character, how could he be so arrogant?
Great Sage Xuan Yuan had an answer in his heart. Then riding a streak of light he flew into the Dragon Palace, seeing at a glance the dragon shadow coiled on the throne, majestic as a mountain.
It was the Old Dragon Lord!
However, different from the past, although the current Old Dragon Lord's cultivation was still at mid-stage Golden Core, his stature was inexplicably half a notch higher than ordinary Perfected Lords.
And beside the Old Dragon Lord was Tian Qiu, who had attained [Heavenly River Water] not long ago.
But Great Sage Xuan Yuan saw clearly that Tian Qiu's aura was completely connected to the Old Dragon Lord, and [Heavenly River Water] faintly showed a state of submission.
Immediately after, he saw the other two Great Sages present, cupping his hands immediately.
"Great Sage Ming Zhu, Great Sage Yuan Xu."
Of the two, one came from the Clam Clan, the other from the Turtle Clan. Among them, Great Sage Ming Zhu cultivated [Abyssal Sea Gold], while Great Sage Yuan Xu was an Outer Heaven Perfected Lord.
Plus himself cultivating [Thunderbolt Flame].
The entire Four Seas Sect was supported by the three of them and the Old Dragon Lord. Before, the four families were equal, but after today, the Old Dragon Lord might dominate alone.
This doesn't bode well...
Great Sage Xuan Yuan pondered in his heart, but put on a friendly smile on his face, then asked knowingly: "Old Dragon Lord, what makes you so happy?"
"Hahaha!"
The Old Dragon Lord laughed aloud upon hearing this: "Naturally, it is the matter of this Lord regaining control of the Water Element Supreme... Today inviting everyone to come is to ask everyone to help this Lord break through."
Old loach, even daring to call himself 'This Lord'... He's really putting on airs!
Great Sage Xuan Yuan criticized in his heart, being a hundred percent unwilling. The reason was actually very simple: like the Old Dragon Lord, he had long been a Mid-stage Golden Core!
And not just him.
Including Great Sage Ming Zhu was also mid-stage Golden Core, Grotto-Heaven not falling... Under these circumstances, who would be willing to cripple their own Dao path and attach themselves under someone else's Grotto-Heaven?
Only Great Sage Yuan Xu might have this need. After all, he is an unorthodox path... But his race is a turtle; he is still in his prime, and his lifespan is far from ending. And even if he is willing to attach himself, what use is an unorthodox path? In the end, this old loach is coming for us!
Great Sage Xuan Yuan's mood became increasingly heavy.
Just at this moment, Great Sage Ming Zhu at the side spoke: "Old Dragon Lord, this [Vast Ocean Water] returning to the supreme position, have you asked the opinion of the Saint Sect?"
...Right!
Great Sage Xuan Yuan's heart instantly cleared. Who didn't know about Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue plotting for the Water Element Supreme? As a result, now it was intercepted by the Old Dragon Lord.
Could she let it go?
Regarding this famous crazy woman of the Immortal Nexus, the demons were still very wary. Not to mention the other party was also very good at fighting; no demon present was her opponent at all.
Even the Old Dragon Lord trembled.
But soon, he recovered, holding his head high: "Are you kidding? I, a dignified Dragon Lord, Water Element Supreme, do you think I would be afraid of that crazy woman?"
Before I achieved the Supreme Dao Fruit, fearing her was one thing.
Now finally succeeded, yet I still have to fear her? Then didn't I succeed for nothing! Do you think my Supreme VastOcean Water is just for show?
"If you have the ability, let her come. I won't even blink an eyebrow!"
Inside the Dragon Palace, the Old Dragon Lord's voice echoed loudly. Water waves constantly spread with him as the center, making the demons shift their gazes, but they were stunned in unison.
In the magnificent Dragon Palace, amidst the ripples transformed from infinite water waves, a swaying bright light suddenly appeared.
That was a person.
He wore a black robe, eyes containing curiosity, standing silently beside the Old Dragon Lord just like that. The swaying bright light was the dim lamp fire in his palm.
He stared at the Old Dragon Lord at close range. The Old Dragon Lord's eyes, large as copper bells revealing his true form, clearly reflected his figure.
In an instant, the originally enthusiastic atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
Great Sage Xuan Yuan, Great Sage Ming Zhu, and Great Sage Yuan Xu, the three Perfected Lords, almost simultaneously felt a chill emerging from the bottom of their hearts, spreading to their limbs and bones.
Who is it!?
If not for the Old Dragon Lord deliberately urging the divine wonder of [Vast Ocean Water] just now to show off, the three Perfected Lords wouldn't even have discovered it immediately!
What about the Old Dragon Lord?
Did he discover it?
With this thought, the three Great Sages immediately looked in the direction of the Old Dragon Lord. But the result was only seeing an empty throne and a bewildered Tian Qiu.
Holy shit! He ran!
At this moment, Great Sage Xuan Yuan only felt incomparably absurd, yet it was reasonable. Right, this is the Old Dragon Lord, the familiar Old Dragon Lord is back!
At the same time, Lu Yang was also somewhat surprised.
He ran so fast...
He had just arrived, relying on the secret-hiding wonders of [Driving Night] to sneak into the Dragon Palace all the way. He didn't expect the Old Dragon Lord actually discovered the clue.
This old dragon is really different now!
With this thought, Lü Yang disappeared without any hesitation. [Driving Night] reversed, returning to [Holding Candle], illuminating the traces of the Old Dragon Lord's departure.
"Hmph... you want to escape?"
Chase!
