Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

The North Sea Dragon King looked dejected, his voice low and somber: "Indeed, it is because of the karmic obstacles of the Dragon Clan. After the great war between the three races, the Ancestral Dragon led the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dragon Clan into the eye of the sea to suppress it, thus ensuring the continuation of the Dragon Clan."

Through the account of the North Sea Dragon King, Huanglong also learned the whole story.

The Four Dragon Kings, all being Great Golden Immortals, should have followed the Ancestral Dragon into the sea eye to work together for the survival of the dragon race.

However, the First Emperor considered that if there was no Great Luo Golden Immortal to guard the four seas, the dragon race would inevitably be united by other aquatic races and would completely decline, possibly not even having a chance to survive.

Therefore, the First Emperor specially left four Great Golden Immortals to guard the four seas, in order to protect the dragon race.

Although the four Great Luo Golden Immortals were able to stay, the boundless karmic burdens shrouding the Dragon Clan constantly threatened the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

Therefore, the First Dragon and the Azure Dragon set up a series of grand formations centered on the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas.

Within the Dragon Palace, the residual fortune of the dragon race provides cover, preventing the karmic burdens shrouding the dragons from directly descending upon the Dragon Kings.

However, as soon as one leaves the formation, the heavens and earth will sense it instantly and bring down karmic obstacles.

At this time, the Dragon King's perception of heavenly secrets will be obscured by the karmic obstacles of heaven and earth, his fortune will be devoured, and his soul will be corrupted. The longer he stays outside, the greater the chance of all sorts of accidents happening.

If one were to fight with others and unleash the power of a Great Luo level cultivator, one might face numerous situations such as a lack of spiritual energy, stagnation of magical power, and failure of supernatural abilities.

Therefore, the Four Dragon Kings generally do not leave the formation area of ​​the Dragon Palace unless there is a special need or the dragon race faces a life-or-death situation.

This also resulted in the fact that since the war between the three races, the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Dragon Clan have never appeared in the sea outside the range of the Dragon Palace formation.

Therefore, the dragon race's control over the four seas has been reduced to an extreme.

However, due to the dragons' past power, other sea races dared not easily attack them.

At the same time, because the area of ​​the four seas is large enough, and the living space of various races is sufficient, they have been living in peace until now.

Those four aquatic Golden Immortals broke through to the Great Luo Realm only after the Dao Ancestor began his sermon.

Their race needed more territory to expand, so they set their sights on the restricted dragon race, wanting to seize the dragon race's seas in order to strengthen their race's fortune and help them cultivate.

Huang Long suddenly asked, "Senior, you've been talking for so long, but you still haven't explained why you immediately hid inside the Dragon Clan's formation when Kunpeng arrived?"

Ao Ming smiled wryly and said, "I told you, if I were to casually step out of the Dragon Clan's array barrier, all sorts of unexpected events would occur."

Huang Long recalled what had just happened and said, "So you're saying that Kunpeng arrived because you left the dragon clan's array barrier?"

The Dragon King of the North Sea nodded.

These words left Huang Long speechless.

However, upon closer examination, this is indeed the case—Kunpeng arrived at the exact moment Ao Ming unleashed the Dragon Clan's formation and released the aura of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The Dragon King of the North Sea smiled wryly and said, "If I quickly retreat back into the formation of the Dragon Palace, who knows what other unexpected situations might occur besides the Kunpeng?"

"As for why I didn't call you, it's because I know that as a direct disciple of a sage, and valued by the Azure Dragon Ancestor and the Ancestral Dragon, you must have many life-saving methods. Even if you face the Kunpeng, you won't be in any danger."

Ao Ming looked at Huang Long somewhat guiltily as he spoke. Seeing that Huang Long did not get angry, he continued, "Even without a way to protect himself, Kunpeng would not dare to kill a disciple of a sage. At most, he would suffer a little."

Huanglong stared at the North Sea Dragon King again and again—this old guy was actually betting that he had some trump cards left behind by the Three Pure Ones and the Azure Dragon!

Luckily he did have it, otherwise he would have been in big trouble with the boss today.

Huanglong stared at the North Sea Dragon King with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Today, Huang Long almost lost a life-saving technique because of this old guy, which is much more valuable to him than a primordial spiritual treasure.

It wouldn't be unreasonable for them to accept a Primordial Spiritual Treasure as a reward for coming to support the North Sea Dragon Clan this time.

After all, it was the old fellow, the North Sea Dragon King, who was in the wrong first. At most, he was just making some compensation to the North Sea Dragon Clan.

Under the gaze of the Yellow Dragon, the Dragon King of the North Sea felt slightly guilty and dared not meet the Yellow Dragon's eyes.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, the North Sea Dragon King gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Huanglong, your support for the North Sea Dragon Clan this time has not only helped the North Sea Dragon Clan defeat many Grand Luo Golden Immortals, but also intimidated the Demon Master Kunpeng. Your help to the North Sea Dragon Clan is immense."

"If the North Sea Dragon Clan doesn't make a move, not only will the Azure Dragon Ancestor laugh at us, but even the other three Sea Dragon Kings will laugh at us, brother."

Huang Long withdrew his gaze from the North Sea Dragon King, looked down at the melting sea, and said in a low voice, "Senior, don't flatter me. Just give me the reward you mentioned! If it's suitable, I'll accept it!"

Knowing that continuing to talk to Huanglong would be of little use, the North Sea Dragon King said to Huanglong, "Brother Huanglong, wait here for a moment, I'll be right back." After saying that, the North Sea Dragon King's figure flashed, passing through the array barrier of the North Sea Dragon Palace again and disappearing.

After the North Sea Dragon King disappeared, Huanglong looked at the slowly melting sea, had a thought, and summoned the Soul-Scattering Gourd.

A cloud of red sand, scattering souls, spewed from the gourd's mouth, instantly spreading throughout the entire frozen ocean area.

Each grain of Soul-Scattering Red Sand emitted a blazing red light, and the entire frozen sea area melted rapidly under its glow.

A few breaths later, Huanglong collected the red sand that filled the sky into the Soul-Scattering Gourd, and the entire sea area was restored from a frozen world to a rolling ocean.

Huanglong sensed the four lifeless sea creature corpses beneath the ocean. With a casual gesture, four enormous ropes, formed from spiritual energy, plunged straight into the sea and wrapped around the four massive sea beast corpses.

With a forceful pull, the four corpses were gradually lifted from the seabed. As towering waves churned on the surface of the sea, the remains of the four Great Immortals were retrieved from the seabed by Huanglong.

Although the spiritual energy above had dissipated, the four physical bodies still possessed a powerful vitality, as if they were fast asleep.

Just then, the Dragon King of the North Sea returned from his palace, clutching three pearls that emitted a ghostly blue light.

Looking at the three familiar-looking pearls, Huanglong exclaimed in surprise, "The Sea-Stabilizing Pearls?"

Upon hearing Huanglong call out the name of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, the North Sea Dragon King was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "Brother Huanglong, have you seen this Sea-Stabilizing Pearl? Is it in the South Sea or with the East Sea Dragon King?"
