Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

In the primordial South China Sea, the boundless blue waves are filled with rich, innate water energy that erupts from the sea eye and nourishes the millions of aquatic creatures along the water veins.

This is one of the traditional territories of the Dragon Clan. Although it is not as central as the East Sea, it still controls hundreds of millions of miles of sea area, with countless aquatic creatures.

On this day, above the core sea area of ​​the South China Sea Dragon Clan, the tranquil space suddenly shattered like a mirror, revealing a deep, dark crack.

A figure dressed in a dark yellow Taoist robe, with a tall and straight posture and an aura as deep as the sea, stepped out from the middle.

The moment he appeared, the unique Daoist aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal naturally emanated from his body. Although he did not release it intentionally, it caused the waves of the sea below to surge, and countless aquatic creatures were filled with awe and hid themselves.

"Are those barbarians from the Witch Clan hunting in the South China Sea again?"

"I wonder which clan has had some bad luck!"

"No, they don't have the turbid, malevolent aura unique to the Witch Clan. Could they be a member of the Demon Clan?"

"..."

Within the South China Sea, hidden Grand Luo Golden Immortals sensed the aura of the Yellow Dragon Grand Luo Realm, and their thoughts intertwined in the void.

When the Dragon King of the South Sea noticed this newly appeared Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was first extremely shocked, and then his face showed an expression of disbelief.

Great Golden Immortal!

Suddenly, another vast aura of the Great Luo Realm rose from the South Sea Dragon Palace.

The next moment, the waves parted, and a middle-aged man wearing a crown and dragon king's robes, with a majestic yet somewhat weathered face, led many of his dragon sons and grandsons into the air.

It was the South China Sea Dragon King who ruled the South China Sea.

The next moment, to the astonishment of all the aquatic creatures of the South China Sea, the Dragon King of the South China Sea flashed to the figure and began to converse amicably with him.

All living beings in the South China Sea, from the giant whale clan that dominated the region to the innate beings who had achieved success in their cultivation, were filled with shock and turmoil as they watched the South China Sea Dragon King converse so intimately with the newly appeared Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Could that Great Luo be a member of the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race?" An old tortoise, who had been in and out of the Great Luo realm for dozens of huiyuan, huddled in its shell, which was as thick as a mountain, asked in a trembling voice.

"It doesn't seem like it. If it were the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, the Dragon King of the South Sea would certainly welcome them, but he wouldn't necessarily display a full retinue. It's more like... more like welcoming someone from the Dragon Race!"

"Could it be one of the crown princes?"

"The nine princes of the Dragon Clan have already perished in the great calamity!"

"Judging from that Great Luo Realm aura, there are no signs of a long period of time; he must have only recently attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

"That can't be a dragon, can it?" A crimson sea serpent of the Great Luo Realm, its massive body as long as a mountain range, coiled and twisted, its cold, vertical pupils filled with solemnity.

After a brief conversation with Huanglong, Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the South Sea, suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with a strong warning as he scanned the many aquatic creatures of the South Sea who were eyeing the area.

He took a deep breath, his voice booming like a bell, a dragon's roar mixed with the power of the Great Luo, instantly spreading throughout every corner of the South China Sea, clearly reaching the ears of all those who were spying:

"The various tribes of the South China Sea...!"

"This is the unparalleled genius of my Dragon Clan, Huanglong! In the past, he became a disciple of the Sage Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain, a second-generation direct descendant of the Chan Sect! He cultivated diligently and received the Great Dao personally taught by the Sage. In less than two Huiyuan, he achieved perfect cultivation and attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

"boom!"

The voice of the Dragon King of the South China Sea was like a boulder crashing into a calm lake, instantly stirring up towering waves in the hearts of hundreds of millions of creatures in the South China Sea!

"He's not from the Witch Clan, but he's a creature far more terrifying than them!"

"The situation in the South China Sea is about to change!"

Two council members?! Impossible!

A venomous dragon, ancient enough to live for ten thousand years, lurked in a deep sea trench. It possessed a portion of dragon blood and thus carried a portion of karmic burdens. Upon hearing this, it abruptly raised its ferocious head, its eyes filled with horror and disbelief.

"I have cultivated diligently for over ten huiyuan, enduring countless tribulations, yet I remain trapped just outside the threshold of the Taiyi realm! The Great Luo Golden Immortal, whose true spirit transcends the river of time and gathers their past and future forms, is no easy feat!"

"Two eras... Impossible. Do they really think this is the ancient era, when the dragon race was still the overlord of the primordial world?"

"The Dragon Clan... the Dragon Clan has produced another Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

A brightly colored mirage, and the sacred mountain it conjured, trembled slightly with the stirring of the heart. "Since ancient times, the dragon race has been rejected by the Heavenly Dao, burdened by karma, making survival incredibly difficult. And there has never been a new Great Luo Immortal born among the dragon race?"

"Now that Huanglong has attained the Great Luo realm... could this truly be a sign of the dragon race's revival?"

Some ancient monsters that survived from the early Dragon-Han Calamity, such as the Great Luo Realm Giant Clam Ancestor hidden deep in the Coral Maze, whose thick shells were etched with the vicissitudes of time, were now deeply shaken, as if they had returned to the era when the Dragon Clan dominated the primordial world and looked down upon all living beings.

"Less than two Huiyuan... a Great Luo Golden Immortal...?"

The giant clam ancestor's divine sense rippled slightly, filled with endless emotion, yet a trace of fear flashed deep in his eyes.

"I remember in ancient times, the only dragons with such an astonishing speed of cultivation were the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon. They were exceptionally gifted and received the support of the entire dragon race's fortune. It seems... it seems they reached the Great Luo realm in less than a huiyuan... What a glorious era those were..."

"In the current Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, it has only taken less than one Huiyuan (a unit of time) for several Golden Crow Princes to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"Are the dragons trying to restore their former glory?"

Beside an underwater volcano, lava reflected in the cloudy eyes of an old fire salamander, a glint of wisdom flashing within them. It murmured softly, "By becoming a disciple of a sage, even the karmic shackles that have bound the dragon race for countless years can be broken?"

"It seems that the Sage of Heaven wasn't that strict in accepting disciples!"

Beneath him, several enormous eggs floated in the magma, slowly being absorbed by the old fire salamander eggs through the transformation of pure innate fire essence.

Amazement, awe, suspicion, fear, and joy—a complex mix of emotions mingled in the hearts of many aquatic creatures in the South China Sea.

Many aquatic creatures, though still under the Dragon Clan's command, who outwardly obeyed the Dragon Palace but inwardly defied it, and even secretly devoured the Dragon Clan's seas, fell silent at this moment, their minds racing as they considered whether they needed to readjust their relationship with the Dragon Clan and whether they should return the Dragon Clan's seas.

However, unlike these onlookers, some other aquatic creatures felt a chill run down their spines.
