Is there anything hindering your cultivation?

I have here a Spiritual Root of Dao Comprehension Tea—the second root of the Dao Comprehension Tea!”

Li Ping’an was indeed caught off guard.

But fortunately, Guilingling took timely action, using Dao Charm to separate him from those old dragons.

Originally, the more than ten strongest members of the Dragon Clan, who had been putting on airs, also took action simultaneously.

Their overbearingly vast mana darkened the faces of the top experts of the Ocean Race.

A loud laugh came from the sky; it was Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, and a young Daoist riding clouds into the sea together.

“My fellow Daoists of the Dragon Clan, please do not trouble the Heavenly Emperor so!”

“The Heavenly Emperor is not yet a hundred years old and is a great enlightened immortal that appears once in a hundred thousand years within our Human Race!”

“Everyone, please tidy up the battlefield.

We are here to discuss matters, and having not seen Brother Yinglong for a long time, I intend to stay for a few days.”

Li Ping’an glanced at the young Daoist.

Could this be Yinglong, another divine general heavily relied upon by the Yellow Emperor in the past, known as the foremost divine general of the Human Emperor?

Yinglong had a gentle demeanor, his eyebrows were not too sharp, and his gaze was quite warm, exuding the aura of a refined and courteous scholar general.

Standing beside Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, he indeed had the bearing of an official.

Li Ping’an did not speak much.

After meeting up with Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor handled the matters concerning the Dragon Clan.

However, about half an hour later, Li Ping’an revised his own seemingly sparse concept of wealth from the Desolate Era.

It wasn’t anything else…

He watched wide-eyed as the Crystal Palace, which he had thought about deeply and kept one part while giving away three, slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Then, several members of the Dragon Clan threw a treasure bead from their sleeves and together they activated this treasure bead.

In the blink of an eye, the treasure bead transformed into a Crystal Palace the size of a city.

Enveloped in immortal light and laden with heavy treasure radiance, it was dozens of times more magnificent than the previous Crystal Palace.

“That one just now…”

“That one?”

A passing old dragon muttered:

“That shabby Crystal Palace was fake, specially used to bait these big fishes.

We randomly put in some treasures that no dragon wanted, and it’s a bit embarrassing for you to see.”

“This one is our real Crystal Palace, a place where only pure-blooded dragons can reside.”

“Please come inside.

What would you like to eat?

We have stored Phoenix Marrow for many years.

Would you care to try some?”

“No, thank you, I am just here to chat with the two elders.”

Li Ping’an looked up at the surface of the sea.

Ah, the first day of aspiring for the Heavenly Dao’s ‘wealth equality’ policy.

…

Given their colossal size, the Dragon Clan built huge halls.

With the elite members of the Dragon Clan hurrying back, it was naturally time to deal with the earlier chaos.

Li Ping’an and his entourage were hosted by Yinglong in a personal capacity, and later the Dragon Palace would host a grand banquet.

Yinglong, the son of the Ancestral Dragon, was just hatched later and had a status within the Dragon Clan almost equal to that of the clan leader.

Yinglong briefly addressed the group: “Folks, feel free to help yourselves to some food and drink.”

Then, dozens of Clam Maidens brought forth various delicacies and fine wines specially made by the Dragon Clan.

A band consisting of dozens of Ocean Race musicians was standard accompaniment, while a few beautiful mermaid maidens from a clear pool in the corner of the great hall presented enchanting songs;

A few sons and daughters of the Dragon Clan, who had the direct bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, accompanied them on the side, all knowledgeable and genteel, possessing the elegance of ancient scholars.

Two dragon maidens kept giving Li Ping’an and Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, surreptitious glances, but the two men acted as if they hadn’t seen a thing.

Yinglong seemed slightly embarrassed and whispered:

“I have caused embarrassment for Your Majesty and trouble for you.

“Originally, I thought that within the next ten thousand years, a great calamity will come upon heaven and earth, so I planned to use a hundred years to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Ancient Dragon Realm.”

“Thus, I devised this fishing scheme and also dealt with some sinful dragons who had committed crimes.

“I truly did not expect that, in a situation where the Ocean Race coalition was in such a weak position, there would still be a faction creating trouble for the Human Race…

My fault, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Yinglong stood up and made a bow to Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor.

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, waved his hands smilingly, “It’s not a big deal; some compensation from your Dragon Clan will do.”

“For such a minor issue,” Yinglong turned and ordered, “Bring forth ten warehouses of Spirit Stones and the treasured materials for Artifact Refining and formation arrays; load them onto a ship, and take them to His Majesty later!”

An official of the Dragon Clan bowed at the door, taking the command: “Yes!”

Li Ping’an smiled and said, “During my cultivation in the East Continent, I always heard the great name of Yinglong, and today I have finally met the genuine divine general.”

“Hahaha,” Yinglong laughed gently, “On the way back just now, Your Majesty told me all about you.

The Heavenly Emperor named Ping’an, battling the Western Sect without losing spirit—having such an outstanding figure emerge from the Human Race is truly a blessing!”

“You flatter me.”

“How have you two started flattering each other!”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, showed a disgusted face, and took a bite of some unknown cooking ingredient, cracking it noisily between his teeth.

The Holy Mother Guiling had already abandoned her poised and elegant demeanor and started devouring food voraciously like a hungry turtle;

Huanglong had a particular fondness for the wine of the Dragon Clan and was already sipping and toasting himself to a slight buzz.

Despite some chaos still brewing outside, this place quickly returned to a state of peace and merriment.

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, asked, “Did you really arrange all this?”

“Indeed, it’s a bit embarrassing compared to Feng’s one percent of strategizing,” Yinglong responded with a sigh.

“I know it’s not quite right, but I really had no choice.

“After returning to the Dragon Clan, I tried to reform the Ancient Dragon Realm based on my experience with the Human Race.

However, after tens of thousands of years of effort, I couldn’t correct our people’s ways, and thus gave up.

“With the great calamity approaching, we have spies among the Ocean Race and the aquatic beings of various small worlds, and we are aware of the deeds of the Western Sect.

So, we thought to eradicate the hidden troubles of the Ancient Dragon Realm early.

“The Dragon Clan has ruled over the Ocean Race for so long, causing widespread resentment, but it was an act of helplessness.”
