The clouds and mist raged, and the mountains of mist flew fiercely. The Shuyu Dragon Lord rode on clouds, speeding toward the source of the dragon’s call.
She had regained her composure now, but her eyes were still full of anticipation.
The dragon’s call just now was the Ancient Dragon Clan in this sea domain discovering her presence and inviting her to go.
The scenery of this sea domain also piqued her curiosity.
Islands were scattered across the sea like sesa seeds on a pie.
But what surprised the Shuyu Dragon Lord was that on many densely populated islands, there were Divine Temples standing tall.
The plaques at the temple gates bore various nas:
So were called Dragon God Temples, others Dragon Monarch Temples, with all sorts of appellations.
However, compared to the Shuyu Dragon Lord, the presence of the Dragon Clan in this sea domain was much stronger.
The reason for this discrepancy was partly due to the Shuyu Dragon Lord’s personality—she was sowhat reclusive by nature, indifferent to power, and even most people did not know of the existence of this Ancient Dragon Clan.
Another reason was also due to the decline of the Xuanwei Demon Clan.
The Five Sects relinquished the sea domain to her, naturally because the Dragon Lord’s strength was extraordinary, and they did not wish to provoke her. The Dragon Lord’s aloof nature also reassured the Five Sects.
Furthermore, the Xuanwei Demon Clan posed no significant threat to the Five Sects.
Of course, there were also reasons like the vastness and complexity of the sea domain, and the Five Sects’ lack of governance capability, making occupying the sea domain hold little value.
In short, even though the Shuyu Dragon Lord was the lord of the sea domain, few actually worshipped her, and her figure was almost absent amid the changes in the Xuanwei situation.
Unlike now, where the Dragon Clan stood as the obvious overlords in this sea domain.
After flying for two hours, the Shuyu Dragon Lord finally stopped, looking down at the sea domain below.
As if sensing her arrival, the sea parted like curtains on both sides.
Tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals rode the waves, standing at the forefront, their long spears like a forest, gleaming brilliantly.
Eight Sea Patrol Yakshas flew up to the clouds, shouting in unison, "Cangming Dragon King, warmly welcos the esteed guest!"
Behind them, a middle-aged man strode out with several others, laughing heartily, "First ti in this treasured land, it’s unsettling to the mind, pardon for the lack of proper welco, forgive us, forgive us!"
The Shuyu Dragon Lord, seeing his grand display, seed to feel sowhat flaunted and was displeased.
But thinking they were of the sa clan, freshly arrived at Xuanwei, they must be on edge, and she understood, smiling, "It’s I who intrude."
"An esteed guest’s arrival cannot be considered an intrusion. Please enter the Dragon Palace for a chat!"
The Cangming Dragon King appeared quite friendly upon seeing the Dragon Lord.
The Shuyu Dragon Lord followed him to the seabed, and before long, she beheld a complex of palaces.
They were neither gold nor stone, crystalline and transparent, exuding the essence of Water Elents. Even the foundation was built with a rare Water Spirit Stone.
Yet the palace complex spanned two to three hundred miles and had a thousand chambers, following the sea floor’s undulations, resembling a Jade Dragon at rest in the waters.
The head of the Jade Dragon was on a seabed mountain, the main hall built atop it, subtly showing the grandeur of a divine dragon erging from water, commanding all directions.
At the entrance of the main hall was a white jade plaque inscribed with the characters "Cangming Dragon Palace."
"Please!"
The Dragon Lord of the Blue Sea greeted warmly.
The Shuyu Dragon Lord followed into the palace, where Clam Girls and rfolk moved about, tables set with fine wine and trays laden with delicacies.
She was rarely in contact with people, straightforward by nature, and after not eating or drinking for long, her curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "I wonder where the Dragon King hails from? And how many compatriots are there?"
The Cangming Dragon King, taken aback by her eagerness, smiled openly, "The realm we reside in is known as the Dragon Abyss, said to have been founded by the Dragon Ancestor."
"As for how many Ancient Dragon Clan mbers are here, as I know now, we are a family of five."
The Shuyu Dragon Lord was montarily surprised, glancing at his side.
Beside the Cangming Dragon King were two n and two won, four dragons in total.
One of the won was older, her makeup lavish and elegant, her expression gentle, presumably the Dragon King’s spouse.
The other two n and one woman seed to be juniors, their identities unclear.
"These are my two unremarkable sons, and this is my eldest daughter-in-law."
The Cangming Dragon King introduced as he saw her curiosity.
The Shuyu Dragon Lord roughly gauged the strength of the Dragon Palace here:
The Dragon King was a True Immortal, and the other four dragons were Independent Immortals, sowhat stronger than herself alone.
But she didn’t care much and instead asked, "Is the Dragon Abyss Realm founded by the Dragon Ancestor? I wonder where the Dragon Ancestor is now?"
"The Dragon Ancestor has passed away," the Cangming Dragon King lowered his voice.
The Shuyu Dragon Lord’s face also dimd a little, then asked, "And how many dragons are there in the Dragon Abyss Realm?"
"Not many." The Cangming Dragon King said proudly, "In the Dragon Abyss Realm, dragons are revered, and three Dragon Palaces have stood for tens of thousands of years."
"And what of the other two Dragon Palaces...?"
The Cangming Dragon King shook his head, "A few years ago, the Dragon Abyss Realm suddenly shattered. I protected my Cangming lineage, drifting here; we have barely managed to survive and have no ans to track other dragons."
The Dragon King’s tone was heavy, implying the migration from the Dragon Abyss Realm to Xuanwei was filled with difficulties.
Whether other dragons arrived safely was uncertain.
In that case, other Golden Immortal Worlds were likely similar.
"What is this realm called?" The Shuyu Dragon Lord was lost in thought, and the Dragon King instead asked, "And what factions are present?"
"This realm is called Xuanwei."
"Xuanwei!"
To her surprise, upon hearing "Xuanwei," the Dragon King exclaid in disbelief.
"Xuanwei... is there sothing special about it?"
The Cangming Dragon King asked in confusion, "Does the Dragon Lord not know?"
"Know what?"
"The Dragon Ancestor also hailed from Xuanwei."
"..."
"The Dragon Ancestor once said that Xuanwei is the beginning of the Ten Thousand Worlds, favored by the Great Dao."
Upon hearing this, the Shuyu Dragon Lord shook her head, smiling wryly, "Since my birth, I’ve never seen other clanspeople and am unaware of these secret histories."
