NOVPUBLu Yang visited Tao Yaoye and, as arranged, brought a Rrding Orb, within which the captured scenes were incredibly precious.
Tao Yaoye lay in bed, holding the Rrding Orb, saw the clan leader of the Xiao beating his son, Xiao Xinghai, and thought perhaps he hadn’t rested well.
"Didn’t you five say you were going to put on a play? How did it turn into a real fight as the acting went on?"
Maybe this was a tradition of the Kunpeng Clan, the ancestors beating the clan leader, the clan leader beating his son, a physical memory passed down through generations, Tao Yaoye mused randomly.
From the Rrding Orb also came the angry voice of Clan Leader Xiao.
"You little brat, I was wondering why there are things being blamed on me that I never did. Turns out, you’re the culprit!"
"Dad, go easy on me, can you blame me? If your reputation wasn’t so bad, would others have doubted it?"
"You still think you’re in the right!"
A fight between a cultivator of the Body Integration Realm and one of the Nascent Soul Stage, without any surprise, was utterly one-sided.
Unfortunately, the four gourd brothers’mmotion stopped at the flooding of Penglai Island, a scene thatuld now only be imagined by Tao Yaoye.
But it wasn’t too hard to imagine, when Clan Leader Xiao disciplined Xiao Xinghai, it was by summoning huge waves to submerge Xiao Xinghai, or even replacing Xiao Xinghai with Penglai Island, it was presumed Penglai Islanduld be flooded as well.
Tao Yaoyeuldn’t help but laugh out loud, lying in bed bored, watching the Rrding Orb was quite amusing.
...
"Xinghai, my friend, are you alright? Clan Leader Xiao was too harsh," Meng Jingzhou repeated what he had said not long ago.
"Hey, my dad just doesn’t understand my painstaking efforts," Xiao Xinghai lay on the bed, while four of Lu Yang’s group peeled fruits for him and poured him water.
"Currently, our clan only has the venerable Black Wing Ancestor as a Transcendance Tribulation elder. My dad is the most likely to bme the next one to Pass Tribulation, but it’s a pity he can’t bring himself to do it, so I, as his son, have to push him a bit."
"The so-called Transcendance Tribulation Stage is a realm that one must pass through ordeals to ascend."
"But ordeals aren’t of just one kind. If the Thunder Tribulation is an ordeal, isn’t the hatred that I’ve dragged upon him an ordeal as well?"
Lu Yang kindlynsoled Xiao Xinghai, "Xinghai, my friend, don’t say more. When Clan Leader Xiao was beating you just now, you said the same thing, and he didn’t believe you, and he beat you even harder."
Otherwise, Xiao Xinghai wouldn’t have beennfined to his bed.
He now felt even weaker than Tao Yaoye after using the Feather Transformation Immortal Body.
But the good news was that heuld rver by taking Elixirs.
The bad news was that Clan Leader Xiao had ordered a ban on him using Elixirs for rvery.
That was the [Rule].
A Nascent Soul Stage challenging a Body Integration Realm, forcing the latter to exert the power of the rules, Xiao Xinghaiuld indeed be proud of himself.
"How about trying my Nirvana True Flame?" Meng Jingzhou’s palm pulsed with an orange-red flame, the Nirvana True Flame known for its healing properties.
Xiao Xinghai hastily shook his head, "No, no, in cultivating the Dragon Transformation Manual, I’ve acquired some characteristics of the Long Clan. The Nirvana True Flame signifies the Phoenix Tribe; dragons and phoenixes are rivals, and it would only add to my injuries."
This was, indeed, a theory unheard of before.
"Fairy, is that true?" Lu Yang asked fornfirmation from the ancient cultivator.
"It’s true. Xiao Ling and Ao Ling have always been rivals, eithermpeting for the Immortal position or vying for the Qilin Immortal on the bed."
Lu Yang: "..."
Thempetition always has something to do with immortals, right.
"It seems to have bme a tradition, flowing in the bloodline of the later generations of the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes."
"However, there’s also the saying ’Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix,’ which indicates that the power of the dragon and the phoenix canexist. I’ve seen them quite united when they resist a third party, like Qiongqi, Nine-Tailed Fox, and such. It’s just that this young Kunpeng is too seriously injured to regulate the two forces and allow the dragon and phoenix toexist."
Xiao Xinghai spoke again, "However, there is still a way."
"What is it?"
"Although Dragon’s Blood doesn’t have healing effects, it does strengthen the body. As long as I soak in Dragon’s Blood, I can still speed up the rvery of my injuries."
Dragon’s Blood is notnsidered an Elixir and is not regulated by the [Rules].
"You have Dragon’s Blood?" Lu Yang remembered that Fairy Eternity had told him about the key to learning the Dragon Transformation Manual, which required soaking in a large amount of Dragon’s Blood.
"I don’t have any on hand. I used it all up while practicing the Dragon Transformation Manual, but we can buy some at the Sea Market in the Dragon Palace. That’s where I got the Dragon’s Blood I used for cultivation."
After discussing among themselves, Su Yiren stayed to look after Tao Yaoye, and the four of them decided to visit the Sea Market at the Dragon Palace.
"Take me with you. The fresher the Dragon’s Blood, the better the effect. If you go back and forth, the effect will be greatly reduced." Xiao Xinghai struggled to get up, frightening Lu Yang and the others into hurriedly pushing him back down onto the bed.
"You can’t even stand up properly, let alone go to the Sea Market."
"You can carry me there," insisted Xiao Xinghai, still not giving up.
"Isn’t that toonspicuous? Would the Clan Leader let you leave?"
"It’s fine, I have a way."
...
Carrying affin, Lu Yang and hismpanions flew towards the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace.
Xiao Xinghai was a renowned genius in the East Sea. If he were to be carried on a litter to the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace, it would be somewhat disgraceful.
Byvering him with affin, there was no need to worry about being rgnized.
It was a solution that served multiple purposes.
Theffin was a magic artifact with the ability to block Spiritual Sense.
The Sea Market of the Dragon Palace is the largest in the East Sea, where all typesngregate. Different from Penglai Island, which is exclusively visited by the Human race, the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace is frequented by both the Sea Clan and the Human race.
The Sea Market of the Dragon Palace was a chaotic mix of all sorts, with something new happening every day, but carrying affin around the market was indeed a first.
"Who has died?"
"The ones carrying theffin are four humans. Could it be a human elder?"
"Then what are they doing here? Are they planning a sea burial at the Dragon Palace? Would the Dragon Palace allow it?" 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Who knows."
"Strange, why do I see these four humans smiling so happily?"
"Perhaps it is joy born of sorrow."
Lu Yang and his group, chatting and laughing, arrived at the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace. The market was situated deep undersea, a place that should have been dim and dark, shrouded in pitch blackness, but the mighty Dragon Palace lit up the depths withuntless Night Pearls arranged in a great formation, illuminating the deep sea.
"This place is really huge." As Lu Yang and hismpanions descended, they looked down at the Sea Market of the Dragon Palace, which resembled a giant dragon adorned withuntless jewels, slumbering on the ocean floor, unbothered by the Sea Clan wandering about or the buildings erected on its body.
At the end of the Sea Market, there stood an ancient and simple great hall, a place well-known to everyone in the East Sea as the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace was not open to outsiders, not even to Flood Dragons that were one step away from transforming into a Dragon.
"When we attend the Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet, we’ll get to see what the Dragon Palace is like." The Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet was approaching, and through theirnnection with Su Yiren, Lu Yang and hismpanions were able to gain entry.
With the fame of the Nine Disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect, it was impossible to receive an invitation, and their arrival would be akin to walking into a trap.
"This is just too disrespectful. As the Immortal Lineage Snd Boss and Lianyi’s Senior Brother, the Old Dragon Emperor shouldme out personally and invite you into the Dragon Palace," Fairy Eternity, the mermaid, swam back and forth in the Spiritual Space, indignant on Lu Yang’s behalf.
Even though Lu Yang didn’t feel he had been treated unjustly.
