Chapter 17: Innate Gourd Vine, East Sea Dragon Race

Qingtian Laozu, who was unaware of the specific situation, could not help but ask from the side: "Your Majesty, shall we continue to search for the Qilin?"

"If you encounter them, then invite them; if you don't, then let it be," Gu Zhangqing said indifferently.

"By the way, Your Majesty!" Cangtian Laozu seemed to have thought of something and asked with confusion: "After success, is it necessary to order them to convert to the Innate Divine Rice? After all, those three clans were the first batch of my Innate Divine beings back then."

"Hehe, are there still Innate Dragon Race in this world? If the Acquired Divine Way Dragon and Phoenix clans are still worth looking at, then I shall grant it!"

Speaking of this, Gu Zhangqing smiled inexplicably.

"Understood!"

Subsequently, Gu Zhangqing looked at the Nine Kings and Eighteen Envoys in the front row, as well as the five Innate Divine beings who were also Supreme Gods.

"I have stated in the second meeting of the gods that the Divine Court shall have Nine Kings and Thirty-six Envoys. Due to the previous eighteen envoys abandoning the gods to join the immortals, the remaining eighteen of you are left.

Now I decree that any Innate Divine being who breaks through to the Supreme God Realm first can automatically obtain the position of Guardian Divine Envoy."

As soon as these words were spoken, those five Supreme Gods who were not among the Nine Kings and Thirty-six Envoys immediately revealed looks of joy.

They immediately expressed their loyalty loudly, saying: "We swear to serve the Divine Court to the death!"

Seeing this, Gu Zhangqing nodded with great satisfaction, then looked at the envious gods below and smiled: "The Divine Court currently has thirty-two Supreme Gods, and there are still four positions for Guardian Divine Envoy remaining. It depends on which of you breaks through first!"

"We will surely exhaust all our strength and not fail Your Majesty's high expectations!"

"Since that is the case, then let us disperse!"

Just as Gu Zhangqing was preparing to adjourn the meeting, Kaluo, who had been deep in thought, suddenly stood out and asked with a respectful bow.

"Your Majesty, when can our Divine Court officially emerge and announce itself to Honghuang!"

Hearing this, the gods also looked at Gu Zhangqing with anticipation.

Regarding this, Gu Zhangqing only smiled and said: "Not long from now!"

Then, leaving behind a group of bewildered gods, he disappeared from the divine palace.

A certain canyon in Mount Buzhou.

The figure of the Shengling Huang avatar slowly walked out from the void.

Looking at the Innate Great Array in front of him, his face was full of speechless expression.

"Hidden so tightly, it actually cost me such a long time," he complained.

The Innate Great Array before his eyes was exactly the location of the Innate Gourd Vine that he had spent over a thousand years to find.

More than a thousand years ago, taking advantage of the gap before the Three Thousand Zixiao Guests returned to Honghuang, Shengling Huang intended to sweep through Mount Buzhou.

Especially since he remembered that there was such a great opportunity somewhere in Mount Buzhou.

Thus, he began searching within Mount Buzhou.

Who would have thought that a thousand years had passed.

Aside from finding some Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and Low-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, he hadn't even seen the shadow of a gourd.

Just as he was about to give up, fortunately, he finally found it.

Looking at the protective Great Array of the Innate Gourd.

Relying on his exquisite cultivation of the Space Law Great Rice, Gu Zhangqing did not break the array but stepped directly inside; the Innate Great Array could not block him in the slightest.

Inside the Great Array, as a ripple stirred in the air, Gu Zhangqing walked out from the void.

What came into view was an Innate Gourd Vine hanging with seven gourds.

And the seven Innate Gourds were flashing with multicolored rays of light, illuminating the space within the entire Great Array in various colors.

It was just that it seemed he had arrived a bit early.

There were only three fully matured gourds on the Gourd Vine, and four gourds had not yet fully gestated.

Seeing this, Gu Zhangqing did not stand on ceremony and stepped forward to pluck the three matured Innate Gourds.

Then, before leaving, he set up a huge Divine Stele within the Great Array.

What was written on the Divine Stele was clearly the ownership rights to the items within this Innate Great Array.

"Private property, trespassing prohibited; those who violate this will bear the consequences themselves!"

Yes, he intended to use this method to announce to the major forces of Honghuang.

He, Shengling Huang, had arrived!

It is said that after the Cangtian trio left the Yuanyi World.

The three of them tidied up a bit and immediately acted separately, heading on the road to find the three clans.

Above the East Sea.

Qingtian Laozu walked out from the void.

With his appearance, the sky over the ocean for hundreds of millions of miles appeared with the celestial phenomenon of a cloudless sky for hundreds of millions of miles, the sky becoming a vast expanse of blue.

The celestial phenomenon in this place was coincidentally discovered by a Sea-Patrolling Yaksha belonging to the Dragon Palace.

When he saw a black dot appear under the distant cloudless horizon, he understood that a Great Supernatural Being had descended upon the East Sea.

Seeing this, how could he dare to delay? He immediately dived into the deep sea, heading to the Dragon Palace to report to the Dragon King.

Qingtian Laozu in the sky saw this clearly, but he was happy to wait in place.

Thus, being bored, he.

Looked through the layers of deep sea toward where the Dragon Palace was located.

"What a luxurious palace complex; although the strength of the Dragon Race has declined, its hidden foundation cannot be ignored."

Thinking of this, he could not help but recall.

When he left, the Heavenly Dragon Great God King Zhulong, who also belonged to the Dragon Race, had introduced it to him.

Although the strength of the Dragon Race had decreased significantly compared to the Dragon-Han Period.

But it cannot be denied that the Dragon Race was, after all, a top-tier force that could have almost dominated Honghuang.

No matter how desolate they may have become, the foundation accumulated over countless years cannot be underestimated.

I heard from the Heavenly Dragon Great God King that it seems a powerful branch of the Dragon Race still remains in the Endless Sea?

Qingtian Laozu, standing quietly in the sky, could not help but think to himself.

"I wonder which honored guest has come to visit my East Sea Dragon Palace?"

A pure five-clawed Gold Dragon was seen soaring up from the deep sea; it circled once, faced all directions, and asked with breath like thunder.

Seeing that the newcomer was merely a young Gold Dragon, Qingtian frowned slightly.

However, thinking of the task he had to perform, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said calmly.

"I am Qingtian Laozu, and I have important matters to discuss with your Dragon Race Patriarch."

Upon hearing this, the Gold Dragon looked up and saw Qingtian Laozu slowly drifting down toward him from the sky.

"What important matter do you have, Excellency? I can make decisions regarding the affairs of the East Sea!"

Seeing that he could not discern the depth of Qingtian Laozu, the young Gold Dragon restrained his temper and smiled cautiously.

"You, a King?"

Qingtian Laozu was slightly stunned by these words, then asked with a look of surprise.

"Indeed, I am King Ao Guang, the current Dragon King of the East Sea. Whatever important matter you have, you may discuss it with me; I can make decisions regarding the affairs of the East Sea Dragon Race!" Ao Guang said with a serious expression.

"Hehe, forget it then. I had better head to the Weiyang Palace in the Endless Sea to discuss this with your ancestor, the Azure Dragon!"

Hearing this, Qingtian Laozu shook his head with a chuckle.

"It is not that I look down on you, but you cannot represent the entire Dragon Race!"

"The Endless Sea? Weiyang Palace?"

Qingtian Laozu's words immediately made Ao Guang's eyes bulge, and he looked at Qingtian Laozu in great astonishment.

"Senior, please wait a moment; this little dragon will report to my ancestor immediately!" Upon hearing that the visitor knew of the existence of the Dragon Race's Weiyang Palace, Ao Guang immediately changed his expression and said respectfully.

To this, Qingtian Laozu smiled indifferently, "Go ahead, just say that you were referred by Zhulong."

"Senior, please move to my Dragon Palace to wait a moment; this little dragon will return shortly."

After speaking, Ao Guang summoned the Turtle Prime Minister, instructed him to provide proper hospitality, and then dove toward a Great Array somewhere in the deep sea.
