Chapter 820 Five Dragon Girls Leaving the East Sea
"This... How can such things be compared?"

Shen Gongbao was furious and began to stutter. His answer made the three-headed dragon laugh loudly, and then sneered: "Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. Go back!"

The three-headed dragon looked at Shen Gongbao and saw that he seemed to be listening to something.

"what happened?"

Facing the three-headed dragon's question, Shen Gongbao did not hide it: "The Dragon King of the East China Sea asked me to meet him again."

"at this time?"

The three-headed dragon sneered, "Think carefully, such a big thing just happened in the East China Sea. The people from the Heavenly Palace have left openly, but we don't know how many people are secretly monitoring this place. If you go to find Ao Guang at this time, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood?"

Hearing this, Shen Gongbao looked at the three-headed dragon in surprise: "I am from Kunlun, a direct disciple who has worshipped the Immortal Lord and is on the list. What should I be afraid of? Even if the Heavenly Palace wants to cause trouble for me, they have to go to Kunlun first to ask for the Immortal Lord's order."

Hearing this, the three-headed dragon didn't know how to respond, and could only snort coldly and said, "You are a disciple of the Immortal Lord, there is no need to be afraid. I, a wanted criminal of the Heavenly Palace, will leave first!"

After saying this, the three-headed dragon turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

"What? I told you that the three-headed dragon would not be able to bear it. He just takes himself too seriously and has no idea how powerful the heaven is today. Does he still think that the heaven is the ancient heaven that was eroded by Nuwa?"

Ao Guang's voice echoed in Shen Gongbao's heart along with the surging tide below.

"If I remember correctly, you should have stayed in the East China Sea, and he was the one who stayed in the Heavenly Palace."

Shen Gongbao, who also responded with a secret method, quickly received a response.

'It is precisely because he stayed in the Heavenly Palace and I stayed in the East China Sea that I was able to sense the horror of the Heavenly Realm. After all, in the Heavenly Realm, His Majesty could just remain merciful without using his magical powers, but for the ancient gods in the East China Sea Purgatory, he had to show his power.'

Ao Guang paused, as if he thought of something terrible, and his voice changed slightly.

"Although I only felt it once from a distance, that time made me clearly know how powerful the one who now controls the heaven is. Even if I gather the power of ten thousand dragons, I am no match for him... By the way, it is too difficult for us to communicate like this. I sent you something. Please accept it."

Hearing this, Shen Gongbao looked at the waves beneath his feet, raised his hand and released a ray of lightning, which fell into the sea and quickly rolled up a conch into his hand.

Ao Guang's voice came out: "As expected of you, you are the disciple of Yuanshi Immortal Venerable. You can easily see the mystery of my water escape."

"You didn't go out of your way to hide it, and I can see that it's not surprising."

Shen Gongbao stared at the conch in front of him and asked, "Your previous method of transmitting sound through the air was obviously more obscure and safer. Why do you still need to use this conch?"

"Because that consumes too much mana."

Ao Guang's answer made Shen Gongbao stunned for a moment, and then he heard the other party's explanation.

"Although in your opinion, the consumption of this secret technique is not too great, but I have to maintain the seal in the East Sea Purgatory. If I can save a bit of mana, I can help the younger generation share a bit more of the burden. So I'll save as much as possible."

Shen Gongbao was silent for a while after hearing this. He asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to make a deal with you alone."

Ao Guang's words made Shen Gongbao stunned for a moment: "With me?"

"Yes, it's you. I also met Wuliang Xianweng in the early years. He seems to be kind, but he is actually very stubborn. In the early years, he was jealous of all the ancient gods who had the power of life span. Later, he wanted to become the most valued disciple of Yuanshi Xianzun."

"Now, he should want to maintain the status of the Chan Sect. He is always like this, he likes to focus on one thing and keep working hard until he achieves it."

Ao Guang's words made Shen Gongbao fall into deep thought. He recalled his senior brother's usual style and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Ao Guang continued, "I can probably guess how much he has done over the years to maintain the Chan Sect, and I can also guess how much effort you have put in to get to where you are today. Knowing how difficult it has been for you, I know that trading with you is the best option."

"What do you want?"

Shen Gongbao squeezed out his question through his teeth, and his excitement made him stutter a little.

Ao Guang did not hide it: "My Four Seas Dragon Clan has been sitting in the East Sea Purgatory for many years, suffering deeply in Purgatory. There have been no newborns for thousands of years. In addition, we cannot go out to make clouds and rain, which has caused the heaven to produce new gods to replace us. If this continues, it will be even more difficult for my dragon clan to find a suitable position in the heaven. So I want you to accept my son as your apprentice and find a new way out for my dragon clan."

"Your son? How old is he now?"

Shen Gongbao still remembered that Ao Guang had said before that the dragon clan had not had any newborns for thousands of years, and he doubted whether he could teach his children.

Ao Guang also heard the other party's concerns and explained: "My son was born thousands of years ago, but due to various reasons, he was unable to hatch. Later, my Four Seas Dragon Clan suppressed Purgatory and was impacted, and his spirit was almost destroyed. I could only hide him in my belly and nourish him with dragon energy day and night."

"Now, my son's spirituality has been reorganized. With a little guidance, he will be born in five years. Don't worry, he has been nurtured by me for thousands of years, and he must be a first-class talent, definitely enough to exceed the entry standard of Kunlun. The only problem is..."

“Kunlun rarely accepts non-human and non-immortal beings as its disciples, especially among my master’s disciples. I am the only one born in the demon race. Although Senior Brother Huanglong has the word ‘dragon’ in his name, he is actually a god born and raised by nature, a ground spirit nurtured by the roots of Kunlun’s ground veins and mountains.”

Shen Gongbao spoke each word with great care, trying to maintain the demeanor of a Kunlun disciple. "Although your child is a descendant of the Dragon King, you also said that the heavens have already bred a new god to replace your dragon clan. After your child is born, he may not still have the identity of a god. If he is just a dragon, even a divine dragon, he will not be welcomed in Kunlun."

"So I found you. You are from the demon tribe, and you are one of the few who can worship Kunlun. It is not surprising that you accepted my son."

Ao Guang's words made Shen Gongbao's face turn slightly cold: "But this will make me even more excluded."

"Aren't you ostracized now?"

Ao Guang asked back, and at the same time stated: "If my Four Seas Dragon Clan is willing to submit to Kunlun, there must be a medium. My son is the best candidate, but you may not be the most preferred choice of Immortal Wuliang." Hearing this, Shen Gongbao fell silent again.

He also completely understood Ao Guang's meaning. The other party knew very well what Wuliang Immortal wanted, and he also knew that his child would definitely be able to join Kunlun.

But Ao Guang was worried that his children would not be able to receive the true teachings of Kunlun, so he thought of himself. He was born into a demon clan and was already being ostracized in Kunlun, so he needed external help.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan is willing to help, and the price is that Shen Gongbao must ensure that Ao Guang's child lives a stable life in Kunlun, and that the other party can obtain the orthodox martial arts of the Kunlun lineage.

Shen Gongbao, who understood this, took a long breath and said, "I can't protect him now."

"That's easy. Although my Four Seas Dragon Clan has fallen, we are still one of the ancient gods. We still have a lot of things in our hands. I will use the waves to send them to a suitable place later. You can take this conch and look for them."

Shen Gongbao nodded in agreement, exchanged a few words with Ao Guang, and then turned and left.

And under the East China Sea, above Purgatory, Ao Guang, who was locked around the divine pillar, put down the conch in his hand and looked at his brothers and sisters around him.

"What are you looking at?"

Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, said with a smile: "Brother, aren't we waiting for your order? Most importantly, we are a little curious about what you are going to do with the five talismans? After all, these are five places for free living!"

"Little sister, you and I both know that none of the four of us can leave, not even our peers. Only the younger generation can leave. I have already agreed with Shen Gongbao of Kunlun that I will find a new path for my son, so I won't take up a place. You, Ao Shun, and Ao Qin can each take one, and the remaining two places will be left for the clan. How about that?"

"Brother's arrangement is very sound, I have no objection. As for this candidate, does Brother have any suggestions?"

Having obtained the result he wanted, Ao Run was in a good mood, and he called him "Big Brother" in a more intimate manner.

Ao Guang thought for a moment and said, "If possible, I think it would be better to let the Dragon Girl go instead of the Dragon Son."

"Dragon Girl? Can a Dragon Girl succeed?"

Ao Shun felt a little embarrassed and didn't seem to be optimistic about the Dragon Girl.

Ao Run was quite displeased when he heard this: "What's wrong with a dragon girl? It's not like you haven't seen the current human race through the water mirror. Because of those flood dragons, everyone thinks that we dragons are bad. If you really let the dragon son go, who knows what kind of trouble will happen. On the contrary, as long as the dragon girl dresses up a little, she can win the favor of many people."

"Also, second brother, if I remember correctly, your only surviving son is not very smart now. But your three nieces are all talented people who can lead a region and rule a place. They are both civil and military talents."

Upon hearing this, Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, interrupted and said, "Little sister, my second brother doesn't think the Dragon Girl is bad. He probably wants the Dragon Son to go out and spread his bloodline. The Dragon Son is much more convenient than the Dragon Girl in this regard. And there are enough dragon bloodlines in the outside world, which can also continue our luck for a while."

"Of course, judging from the current situation of the dragons in the outside world, this continuation is likely to become a disaster that will kill us in the future. I agree with my eldest brother's idea. The only problem is that I don't have a dragon girl who has survived to this day. This quota will be given to my second brother's family. He has three surviving dragon girls. You also have a surviving dragon girl, my little sister. If the three of us go out together, we will have someone to take care of us."

Seeing that his brothers and sisters had made a decision, Ao Guang looked at the group of dragons below.

They looked at each other, and surprisingly no one wanted to leave.

One of the old dragons said, "Your Majesty, it is not easy for us old people to go out. The young people either died in the battle to suppress the ancient gods or grew up in this purgatory. The few dragons who have seen the prosperity of the human world do not like the fireworks of the human world. At that time, several princesses received the guidance of your majesty and knew the importance of it, so they could go out to fight for hope for our dragon clan. These two places are also left to you to handle."

"How is this possible?"

Ao Guang refused decisively. Another ancient dragon among the group of dragons raised its head. He was blinded in one eye and had few good scales on his body. He tried to persuade him with a weak voice.

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for your protection, we, the remaining dragons, would have died long ago. Over the years, you have been practicing, teaching the younger generation, imparting secret techniques, and taking on as many responsibilities as possible. The other three Majesties all sank into the magma, facing the incomplete evil thoughts of the ancient gods, and fighting for living space for us. You don't owe us anything, and it is difficult for us to adapt to life in the human world. Just handle it, and we all trust you."

Ao Guang opened his mouth, and the third ancient dragon spoke. This dragon was even more miserable. There was not a single dragon scale or bristle on its body. It looked like a loach that had its skin peeled off, very miserable.

His pair of dragon eyes are completely blind and he cannot see any light at all, but he is quite majestic in the dragon clan.

"Your Majesty, you can handle it. Before I went blind, I vaguely saw a ray of light shining above the dragons. It was an ancient being who opened up a new path for all living beings, giving them more choices. This path is also open to us dragons."

"But even if ordinary people see the choice, they may not be able to seize the opportunity, just like the goddess Yunhua in the Heavenly Palace, who clearly saw the opportunity for life, but chose the wrong future and still walked towards a path close to death. And now, among us, the dragons of the four seas, the ones with the best chances are your third son and the three daughters of His Majesty Ao Run, then the three princesses of the South China Sea, and finally the young dragon girl, and finally the many dragon sons."

"But the chances for young dragon girls and dragon boys are slim. It doesn't matter who you choose. Giving the last spot to us to discuss will only cause a commotion. It's best if you make the choice."

After hearing this, Ao Guang made a choice with some difficulty.

And all these changes were seen by Chu Tai in Skull Mountain.

To be precise, he was very curious about the blind and scaleless dragon. This guy's power was very interesting, and he had not noticed it before.

It was not until now that I noticed him that I was surprised to find that this giant dragon actually had a little bit of the power of the Ancestor Emperor. Of course, this part of the power was already very weak, and was repeatedly crushed by the dragon clan, spiritual charm and evil spirit, and there was no trace of the original power of the Ancestor Emperor at all.

Only someone like Chu Tai, who had received some of the Dao Fruit of the Ancestral Emperor, could tell from some traces that one of the foundations of the other party's power came from the Ancestral Emperor.

Through this power, Chu Tai also realized that many giant dragons of the Four Seas Dragon Clan were able to survive at this moment because they relied on the power of the ancient gods in Purgatory.

Therefore, the pregnancy of Princess Longji in the Heavenly Palace seemed to have a certain legitimacy.

If we ignore the previous causes, it seems a little reasonable that the dragon race is now being excluded.

"But if you don't take the previous cause into account, that would be really ridiculous."

Chu Tai shifted his gaze to the five dragon ladies released by Ao Guang, and gave them some guidance so that they could make relatively good choices at the beginning.
