Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"Huanglong, stay here. Ao Qing, you each take your clansmen to seclusion to sort out what you have gained and consolidate your cultivation. Don't waste this opportunity."

"Ao Yan, take them to the secret chamber of the Dragon Palace!"

"Ao Yan obeys!"

Ao Qing and several other Taiyi from the Four Seas Dragon Palaces led their respective clansmen to pay their respects to Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the South Sea, before following Ao Yan out of the main hall.

"Why was our leader left behind? Did he disobey the Dragon King's orders and hunt down a ferocious beast?"

"Could it be that because Huanglong didn't gain any merit, the Dragon King is going to reward him separately!"

"Why would the Dragon King keep that guy around? Even though he's a disciple of a saint..."

"..."

The other dragons of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, bewildered, all looked at the left-behind Yellow Dragon with strange eyes, each with their own thoughts.

As all the Dragon Balls were removed from the main hall, the door inlaid with each Origin Pearl slowly closed, shutting out the curious gazes from outside.

Huang Long looked at the South China Sea Dragon King with some curiosity, secretly guessing the Dragon King's intention in leaving him alone!

Looking at the calm and composed Huang Long, Ao Yan couldn't help but nod in praise. As expected of the only Dragon Mountain Clan to be accepted as a disciple of a sage.

This composure in the face of honor and disgrace is something that the younger generation of the Dragon Lord can hardly match!

The main hall fell silent for a moment.

Aren't you curious why I left you alone?

After an unknown amount of time, Ao Yan finally spoke.

"The Dragon King has his own reasons!"

Ao Yan nodded. "Ao Qing and the others have reported to me everything about how you rescued them in the Beast Land and took care of the rest of the dragon clan members!"

"If it weren't for you, these dragons would have gained something this time, but it definitely wouldn't have been this great. You've done a great service to the dragons!"

Hearing Ao Yan's praise, Huang Long remained calm and said in a flat tone, "As fellow dragons, it is only our duty to help those in danger. I do not deserve such praise from the Dragon King!"

"Well said! Helping your people is simply your duty!"

"It is my duty as the Dragon King to compensate you for your losses by helping the dragon clan!"

Huanglong looked up at the South Sea Dragon King with a puzzled expression. He didn't care much about the compensation from the South Sea Dragon King. His gains from this trip to kill the ferocious beasts far exceeded those of all the other dragons, but he just couldn't say it outright.

However, if the Dragon King of the South Sea were to reward him, he would not refuse, even though his gains were great, his losses were also considerable.

We'll replenish as much as we can!

"Thank you for the Dragon King's gift!"

Ao Yan looked at Huang Long, who didn't seem to care much about the reward offered to him.

I couldn't help but be surprised. It seems that this dragon disciple has broadened his horizons after becoming a disciple of a sage, and ordinary spiritual objects are unlikely to move him!

Ao Yan steeled his resolve. "Giving those things from the treasure vault to whomever I want is the same, especially since this person is a member of the Dragon Clan and a direct disciple of a Sage!"

"This time, we've saved the dragon race from significant losses again. If we're too stingy, the other three sea dragon kings will inevitably laugh at us!"

Ao Yan casually waved his hand, opening a secret passage, and glanced at Huang Long: "Follow me!"

After saying that, he entered the passage, and Huang Long had no choice but to follow.

As Huanglong passed through the dark passage, piles of spiritual materials containing the essence of water, earth, fire, metal, and wood came into view.

Huanglong, who had just lost a large portion of the world's origin, was drooling with envy.

However, he did not show it and could only follow Ao Yan as he passed by the edges of piles of spiritual materials.

After passing through the area where common spiritual materials were piled up, Ao Yan led Huang Long to a spacious hall.

There were only a dozen or so items on display, but what was on display greatly shocked Huang Longda.

Because several of these items were ones he had never seen in the East Sea Dragon Clan's treasure vault.

Noticing Huanglong's surprised expression, Ao Yan finally nodded. The South Sea Dragon Palace's collection, accumulated over hundreds of millions of years, was still presentable.

Ao Yan turned to look at Huang Long and said in a calm tone, "You may choose any three items in this hall as a reward for saving Ao Qing and the others and allowing them to gain a lot of merit."

"According to the Azure Dragon Ancestor, this is a fair trade!"

"I will absolutely not allow you to become too entangled with the dragon race!"

"..."

Huanglong was speechless. It seemed that the news of his deal with the Ancestral Dragon had spread throughout the dragon clan.

Huanglong raised his head, wanting to see if thunderclouds were gathering above him!

We waited for ages but nothing happened!

"Thank goodness!"

That proves that the Heavenly Lord agrees to this deal.

Ao Yan watched as Huang Long looked up at the top of the hall, and he also looked up in confusion, only to see a few spirit pearls radiating light.

"Could it be that my collection of treasures from the South China Sea Dragon Palace, accumulated over millions of years, is inferior to those few spirit pearls?"

Just as Ao Yan was falling into self-doubt, Huang Long, finally certain he wouldn't be struck by lightning, thanked Ao Yan: "Huang Long thanks the Dragon King!"

"I want the moonstone that contains the essence of Yin, the star core that contains the essence of the stars in the heavens, and finally, the drop of Xuanming Heavy Water from the earth."

Faced with Huanglong's sudden change, Ao Yan was somewhat unaccustomed to it, but he still immediately sealed the three spiritual objects containing the origin of the Great Dao and handed them over to Huanglong.

Regardless of why Huanglong accepted it, this goodwill has been established, and for this fellow clansman, breaking through to the Great Luo realm is only a matter of time.

Ao Yan placed them in the position of Quasi-Saint. Even if all these inanimate objects were given to Huang Long, he would only have a little bit of interest in them!

Seeing that Huanglong had put away the three treasures, Ao Yan was preparing to leave with Huanglong.

As I passed by those piles of spiritual materials containing innate essence.

Looking at the spiritual materials scattered on the ground, Huanglong suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, those three divine artifacts are compensation for saving Ao Qing and the others!"

"However, while hunting ferocious beasts, I also devoted myself to caring for the members of the dragon clan, which took a huge toll on my mental well-being. They also need to compensate me!"

This time it was Ao Yan's turn to be shocked. He never expected that this handsome young dragon would be so shameless.

Seeing that Huang Long's gaze remained fixed on those piles of spiritual materials, Ao Yan immediately pretended to have just remembered!

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"It was my oversight. I should indeed compensate you for taking care of my many dragon descendants!"

"These ordinary materials are yours to take as you see fit, Huanglong; it's all compensation for you!"

Huanglong said no more and directly opened the Xuanhuang Realm, taking in piles of materials.

They only stopped when all three missing elements of the Xuanhuang Realm's origin were replenished, and even a tiny amount of it was added.

Seeing Huanglong stop, Ao Yan, with a smile on his face, led the indifferent-looking Huanglong away from the secret treasure vault of the South Sea Dragon Palace.

Huanglong did not leave the South China Sea Dragon Palace immediately, but instead asked Aoyan for a secret room.

When Huanglong reappeared, all the spiritual materials and the three divine objects he had obtained had already been integrated into the Xuanhuang Realm.

At this time, the Xuanhuang Realm not only expanded by 30% compared to before, but also gained an additional ocean area spanning tens of millions of miles.

The once empty sky now has a full moon and countless stars.

When Huanglong bid farewell to Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the South Sea, he learned that the dragons of the Three Seas Dragon Palace had already returned.

After bidding farewell to Ao Yan, Huang Long returned to the southern continent of the primordial world to continue his journey of repairing the heavens and earth and creating new life.

On this day, after Huanglong had restored life to the land, he discovered that the war between the demon race and the witch race on the land had stopped at some point.

Huanglong went to the Houyi tribe to find Houyi and learn about the situation, but he encountered Houyi gathering his people.

According to Hou Yi, the demon race had ceased to exist in the mortal realm decades ago.

Moreover, the same applies to other regions of the prehistoric world.

Hou Yi was unaware of the reason, and Huang Long asked about the Wu tribe's gathering of their ancestral people.

Hou Yi only said that this was the order of the Ancestral Witch, and that he also had to return to Buzhou Mountain.

Seeing this, Huanglong didn't ask any more questions. He then gave all the blood date wine he had accumulated over the years to Houyi.

Hou Yi repeatedly refused, stating that the Wu tribe had nothing to trade with Huanglong for the time being.

Huanglong didn't mind, only saying that this was his reward for asking Hou Yi to help open a spatial passage to send him back to Kunlun.

Hou Yi stopped insisting and casually punched a hole in space, connecting it to the endless and distant Kunlun region.

After bidding farewell to Hou Yi, Huanglong returned to Kunlun through the spatial passage opened by Hou Yi.
