Chapter 65

Yet deep within his heart, he was incredibly restless.

Not long ago, the Great Sun bathed the East Sea.

This not only caused the destruction of the Purple Mansion, resulting in the tragic deaths of countless innocent living beings.

Even the nearby aquatic tribes suffered heavy losses.

The East Sea Dragon Palace was protected by a grand array, so it was not affected much.

But the aquatic creatures nearby were the ones who suffered.

Especially the terrifying temperature of the Great Sun.

It burned countless aquatic creatures to death, leaving the Dragon King of the East Sea nearly a lonely man.

These days, he had been in a state of anxiety and unease.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Clan was now in decline; even if he wanted to settle scores with the Monster Clan, he lacked the strength.

The Dragon King of the East Sea could only hide in the Dragon Palace, lamenting and sighing, feeling helpless.

He feared that the Monster Clan would target the Dragon Clan next.

Deep in his heart.

He hated the Monster Clan and Di Jun and Tai Yi to the bone.

"Report!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Dragon King, there are two immortals outside the Dragon Palace who wish to see you!"

Ao Guang trembled all over upon hearing this.

Could it be that the Monster Clan had come knocking?

He immediately became guarded in his heart.

"Do you know who the visitors are?" Ao Guang asked, feigning calmness.

"They are disciples of the Jie Sect, Fairy Yunxiao and Daoist Hongxuan from the Three Immortals Island!"

So they were disciples of the Jie Sect.

Upon hearing that the other party was not from the Monster Clan, Ao Guang suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

However, he was stunned immediately after.

Disciples of the Jie Sect?

Wouldn't that mean they were disciples of the Saint Tongtian?

Three Immortals Island?

Not long ago, he heard from the aquatic tribes below that a strange phenomenon had suddenly occurred at the Three Immortals Island in the East Sea, and a terrifying aura had been emitted.

Ao Guang instantly understood that this was the phenomenon produced by someone advancing to the Daluo Jinxian realm.

Perhaps among the visitors was that newly advanced Daluo Jinxian.

"Quick, quickly invite the two immortal masters in!"

Soon, Yunxiao and Hongxuan were welcomed in.

"Poor Daoist Yunxiao (Hongxuan) greets the Dragon King of the East Sea; greetings to you."

Since they had a request, Hongxuan and his companion did not mind being a bit polite.

"The arrival of the two immortal masters makes the East Sea Dragon Palace shine with brilliance!"

"Two immortal masters, please come inside!"

A sharp light flashed in Ao Guang's eyes.

His discernment was extraordinary, and he instantly realized that Yunxiao was that newly advanced Daluo Jinxian.

What surprised him, however, was that the two of them seemed to be vaguely led by Daoist Hongxuan this time.

Hongxuan was not impatient; instead, his expression was indifferent.

He accepted the invitation and joined the banquet in the Dragon Palace.

After the wine and cups were cleared, Ao Guang dismissed all the attendants of the Dragon Palace before looking at Hongxuan and his companion with curiosity.

"Two immortal masters, I wonder what brings you to my East Sea Dragon Palace this time?"

"Dragon King, I have heard that the East Sea Dragon Palace once possessed a Wood Spirit Bead!?"

"This bead concerns my future path of the Dao; I wonder if the Dragon King could part with it?"

"I am willing to exchange it for a magic treasure of equal value!"

"Of course, I will add some interest as a token of gratitude."

"I wonder what the Dragon King thinks of this?"

Hongxuan's expression was calm, but his eyes were fixed on Ao Guang.

He wanted to see every move the other party made clearly.

"What, the Wood Spirit Bead?"

The Dragon King of the East Sea was so shocked that he stood up upon hearing this.

However, he reacted immediately, coughed lightly on purpose, and regained his composure.

Why did the Dragon King have such a big reaction?

Hongxuan was a bit puzzled.

"That is correct, it is indeed the Wood Spirit Bead!"

"Immortal master, the Wood Spirit Bead is a top-grade innate magic treasure, extremely precious throughout the entire Primordial World."

"I am naturally aware of that, which is why I am also offering a top-grade innate magic treasure in exchange. Dragon King, rest assured, its value will definitely exceed that of the Wood Spirit Bead!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea did not show any excitement upon hearing this.

Instead, he fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he looked at Hongxuan and asked very cautiously:

"May I ask, immortal master, are you truly a Taiyi Jinxian, and furthermore, at the early stage of Taiyi?"

"The Dragon King is at the late stage of Taiyi Jinxian; with your discernment, you should be able to tell, right?"

"I also just advanced to Taiyi not long ago!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea took a deep breath and then looked at Hongxuan firmly:

"As long as the immortal master agrees to one condition, I am willing to present the Wood Spirit Bead with both hands, and I do not need any return gift from the immortal master!"

"If the immortal master does not agree, then I can only say I am sorry."

Hongxuan frowned, but before this, he had already prepared himself mentally for being made things difficult for or having conditions set by the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Dragon King, please state the condition first so that I can make a decision."

"I have a young daughter who has quite a bit of talent for cultivation, but she is headstrong and willful by nature, knowing only how to cause trouble all day long."

"I would like the immortal master to take my daughter as a disciple."

"The Wood Spirit Bead shall serve as my daughter's gift for becoming a disciple!"

"Of course, besides this, I will also send another generous gift, and I guarantee the immortal master will be satisfied!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea had actually proposed a condition that surprised Hongxuan.

"Dragon King, have you mistaken the person?"

"Fairy Yunxiao beside me is more qualified to teach your daughter, is she not?!"

Unexpectedly, Ao Guang shook his head repeatedly and said very decisively:

"There is no mistake; it is indeed you, immortal master, and not Lady Yunxiao beside you!"

Not only Hongxuan, but even Yunxiao felt a trace of surprise and confusion upon hearing such an answer.
