Journey to the West: We're too early, Nezha is only seven years old.

Zhou Xiaobai's parents are nowhere to be found, but the sinkhole where he was born is one of the incubation sites where the Dragon Palace nurtures its offspring.

The sinkhole and pool are protected by a barrier, preventing ordinary creatures from entering; only descendants of true dragons are permitted entry.

The offspring can safely consume the moonlight in the pool, and with the lifespan of a true dragon's bloodline, they only need a few hundred years to grow up.

Since he was born in the hatching ground of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and given his direct lineage from the East Sea Dragon Palace, his status as a direct descendant of the East Sea Dragon Palace is undoubtedly correct.

In fact, the East Sea Dragon Palace and the other three Dragon Palaces have a very limited number of descendants.

Just like the East Sea Dragon Palace, there are three direct dragon princes and two direct dragon princesses. This is still counting Ao Bing, who has been killed. In reality, there are only two direct dragon princes left.

Zhou Xiaobai had never felt the absurdity of the world. How did he become a prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace?

"Then why did you send me to the Dragon-Trapping Cave?" He noticed the Turtle Prime Minister's respect and asked accordingly.

"Although the Dragon-Trapping Cave is a place where true dragons are imprisoned, it also has the miraculous effect of promoting the condensation of the Dragon Pearl by binding the body of the true dragon!" Prime Minister Turtle must have received instructions, as he answered every question.

Zhou Xiaobai shook his head. He didn't feel any effect from promoting the condensation of the Dragon Ball, but he thought that Prime Minister Turtle shouldn't have lied to him.

Following the Turtle Prime Minister into the main hall of the Dragon Palace, they saw the East Sea Dragon King sitting at the head of the table.

At this moment, the Dragon King of the East Sea had the air of an emperor, but his eyes were very gentle when he saw Zhou Xiaobai.

"Taiyi Zhenren has reshaped Nezha's body, making him even stronger!" Unexpectedly, the Dragon King of the East Sea spoke up.

Zhou Xiaobai was stunned; he never expected the Dragon King of the East Sea to tell him this news.

"Knowing that you have a close relationship with Nezha, I have already reconciled with the Golden Light Cave regarding my matter with Nezha!" the Dragon King of the East Sea continued.

This news surprised Zhou Xiaobai once again. Given Nezha's temper, he would not let it go so easily. Not to mention the East Sea Dragon Palace, he would not even let go of the South Sea Dragon Palace, West Sea Dragon Palace, and North Sea Dragon Palace.

However, considering that there may be a powerful entity involved, it makes sense.

"Thank you for informing me, Dragon King. I wonder how you intend to deal with me?" Zhou Xiaobai asked very directly.

Being inside the Dragon Palace, he was unable to escape by force given his strength.

But if he really had no other choice, he would have to enter the Imprint Space.

Because he had a backup plan, he remained neither humble nor arrogant.

"Since you are the true dragon of the East Sea, you will have your own palace in the Dragon Palace, and all resources will be provided. From now on, you will be Ao Ding, the fourth prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace!" The East Sea Dragon King did not ask Zhou Xiaobai for his opinion, but directly informed him.

As soon as the Dragon King of the East Sea spoke, all the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas received his decree. Even if Zhou Xiaobai did not acknowledge it, this identity was still attached to him.

"Can I leave the Dragon Palace?" Zhou Xiaobai couldn't refuse the East Sea Dragon King at the moment, so he asked again.

"Your strength is still too weak. You will be given an official position in the Dragon Palace when you have at least three hundred years of cultivation. At that time, you will need to ask for leave if you want to leave the Dragon Palace. Right now, you can leave the Dragon Palace at any time!" the East Sea Dragon King replied calmly.

Led by the Turtle Prime Minister, Zhou Xiaobai arrived at his palace.

This place is located on the eastern edge of the Dragon Palace, and consists of a main hall and two side halls.

Ten maids, known as "Clam Maidens," lived in the right-hand side hall. They were responsible for Zhou Xiaobai's daily life. A team of twenty strongmen lived in the left-hand side hall. They were Zhou Xiaobai's true bodyguards.

"Your Highness is close to the human race, so His Majesty the Dragon King specially selected these twenty strongmen who resemble humans for your command!" the Turtle Prime Minister introduced, his words demonstrating the Dragon Palace's high regard for Zhou Xiaobai.

Upon entering the main hall, one sees three maids, each holding a tray covered with a yellow cloth, standing with their hands clasped behind their backs.

The three palace maids, all of whom were stunningly beautiful, had a pair of clam shells growing from their backs, which made them appear extremely strange. Of course, this was how Zhou Xiaobai, whose soul was human, saw them.

Since the Dragon Palace uses clam maidens as palace women, it means that the dragon race appreciates the beauty of clam maidens.

"This tray contains the Crown Prince's robe, which you will wear when you take human form!" Prime Minister Turtle introduced, lifting the yellow cloth on the first tray.

Zhou Xiaobai had been moving in snake form when he came out, and only then did he realize that after obtaining the Dragon Ball, he had gained the ability to transform into a human in the outside world.

However, having never used this ability before, I had forgotten about it for a moment.

With a slight shift in his mind, he transformed from a snake into a human, and the clam maidens and palace maids stepped forward to help him change his clothes.

His gaze swept over the prince's robe, and he immediately realized that it was not just an ordinary garment, but a magical artifact.

In addition to its defensive capabilities, this magical artifact also possesses the ability to transform into various styles of clothing.

No wonder they only gave him this one prince's robe; it turns out that one prince's robe is equivalent to hundreds of other garments.

"This tray contains the Panlong Sword and the accompanying Panlong Sword Technique. The Panlong Sword Technique is a protective method practiced by the true dragons of the Dragon Palace!" Prime Minister Turtle introduced the second tray.

After the yellow cloth was lifted, a sheathed longsword and a jade slip were revealed.

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at the Panlong Sword and the jade slip, but showed little interest in either item.

This is not his fault. He had witnessed Ao Bing fighting Nezha with his sword, and he figured that was the Panlong Sword Technique, or a sword technique of the same level.

As a result, Ao Bing's fate was to have his tendons pulled out by Nezha, which suggests that the Dragon Palace's swordsmanship was just so-so.

Of course, the most important thing was that he obtained the "Eight-Nine Arcane Technique". He hadn't even fully comprehended the "Eight-Nine Arcane Technique", so how could he have the mind to be distracted by other techniques?

Seeing this, Prime Minister Turtle said nothing more, and then lifted the third tray, revealing its contents.

"This is the Crown Prince's Decree of the East Sea Dragon Palace. With this decree, one can command the aquatic creatures of the East Sea, and all aquatic creatures in the world will obey his orders. It is also a token for entering and leaving the Dragon Palace!" Prime Minister Turtle explained.

"Thank you for your trouble, Prime Minister Turtle!" Zhou Xiaobai said after the introductions were finished.

"This old minister takes his leave!" Prime Minister Turtle said tactfully.

"You may all leave now!" Zhou Xiaobai instructed the three clam maids.

The three maids bowed and left the main hall, leaving him alone.

He picked up the "Panlong Sword," which was also a magic weapon. He didn't have a deep understanding of magic weapons and had seen very few.

However, it is certain that the 'Panlong Sword' is of a much lower grade than the 'Xuanyuan Qiankun Bow'.

Zhou Xiaobai picked up the jade slip again, aimed it at his brow, and probed it with his spirit.

Having read the "Panlong Sword Technique," he felt it wasn't complicated. If he really wanted to learn it, he could probably get the basics down in less than two days.

Considering that I've been trying to comprehend the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" for over a hundred days, and I'm still only at the very basic level, it's clear how low the rank of the "Panlong Sword Technique" is.

Of course, this also shows that his talent is not bad. It's just that the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique" and "Eight-Nine Arcane Technique" he encountered before were top-tier techniques in this world, which made his talent seem too low.
