737: Chapter 488 737: Chapter 488 “Although this man has not yet ascended to become an Immortal, his abilities surpass both me and Ao Guang, and he can even open the Buddhist Restricting Spell.
Yet he doesn’t seem to be from the Buddhist Sect—it’s too strange.”
Ao Guang’s words, along with those of the Southern Sea Dragon King, left the West Sea Dragon King confused.
They are dragons, dragons that have become Immortals.
Although they are Ghost Dragons, they still possess their original abilities and Magical Treasures, yet they were defeated by a cultivator.
How strong is this cultivator?
“What you’re saying is true?
He can open the palace gate?
There aren’t any conditions, right?”
What the West Sea Dragon King considered, no gains without early rises, and his words were also what his Crown Prince and Princess thought.
However, as their elders were speaking, they did not interject.
In fact, hearing that the palace gate could be opened, both the West Sea Dragon King and the Crown Prince and Princess were delighted.
Being confined within the Dragon Palace for tens of millions of years, one could almost become sick from the suffocation.
Within the palace, besides cultivating, there was only the routine eating, drinking, and relieving oneself.
Unable to travel outside, the days of tens of millions of years felt unbearably long, as if they would mold.
They thought they might die of old age here, but unexpectedly, one day, someone would come and be able to open the palace gate.
Indeed, after the Dragon Palace was sealed all those millions of years ago, there were, of course, those who found their way to the undersea Dragon Palaces.
Many sought to open the palace gates, hoping to uncover treasures, but sadly, no matter what they did, they couldn’t open these palace doors.
The visitors left disappointed, and the dragons inside were equally disheartened.
Gradually, as time wore on, they lost all hope.
About the conditions queried by the West Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang and the Southern Sea Dragon King fell silent for a moment before deciding to tell the West Sea Dragon King exactly what Jiang Tang had told them.
“What?
That person wants to mend the heavens?
How can a human have such ability?
It’s sheer fantasy!”
The West Sea Dragon King did not reject the conditions Ao Guang and the Southern Sea Dragon King mentioned.
If it was possible to open the Dragon Palace and have the chance to find their bodies, why wouldn’t he be willing?
He only felt that the person was incredibly naive; mending the heavens was not such an easy task.
Humans struggle to even become Immortals, so how could they mend the heavens?
“Brother West Sea Dragon King, don’t worry about whether he can mend the heavens or not, let him open the spell.
Once you and your children are out, then we can all have the chance to find our bodies, isn’t that great?”
Ao Guang certainly wished to find his body, as although his Ghost Dragon was formidable, without his body, his abilities were halved.
He felt that if he had his body, he wouldn’t be in a situation where he was constantly chased and attacked.
He was previously handled by the Artifact Spirit of Hell Palace’s Magic Artifact, then tormented by Jiang Tang with those Spiritual Fires and played by monkeys.
After that, even human cultivators could not defeat him, dragging out a battle for days and nights that infuriated him.
When had Ao Guang ever been so feeble?
“Yes, brother West Sea, agree to it!
Then let that person open the palace gate, and we can find our bodies first.”
The Southern Sea Dragon King’s words were more agreeable to the West Sea Dragon King.
At the moment, he still harbored great resentment towards Ao Guang.
Upon opening the palace gate, he would surely teach him a lesson personally and see if he would still cause trouble for everyone.
At this moment, Ao Guang at the doorway had no idea he would be chased after opening the palace gate.
Hearing the West Sea Dragon King’s consent to open the gate, he spoke to the sky:
“Young man, I know you’re watching.
My brother the West Sea Dragon King has agreed to your terms.
Hurry and open the palace gate!”
Inside the Magical Treasure, Jiang Tang saw Ao Guang’s words on the Video Wall and then glanced at the Southern Sea Dragon King.
It seemed that they had finished communicating.
He was, of course, willing to open the gate of the West Sea Dragon Palace—he also wanted the Seven-Colored Immortal Qi that would flow out of it.
To prevent the Immortal Qi from escaping, he exited from the Flying Treasure and landed gracefully in front of the West Sea Dragon Palace gate.
Ao Guang and the Southern Sea Dragon King saw that the young man in his twenties was indeed there.
Seeing him appear so casually, the hearts of the two Dragon Kings had mixed feelings!
At such a young age, he had such capacity and looks.
He was truly a prodigy among humans.
No wonder the West Sea Dragon King was skeptical.
If it weren’t for seeing it with their own eyes, they too wouldn’t believe that a human cultivator would be more formidable than them, the Ghost Dragon Immortals.
This person not only had great abilities and numerous Magical Treasures, but all these treasures were Immortal Treasures.
It was unclear whether he was the reincarnation of a Fairy or if he was specially chosen by the heavens to pick up these Immortal Treasures and rescue the common people.
Jiang Tang didn’t bother to talk further with Ao Guang and the Southern Sea Dragon King.
Under their gaze, his hands moved fluidly, and as he traced patterns with his hands, Buddha Light and Golden Light flowed, and the Cultivation Technique revolved, floating a Buddha character in the air.
This was a spot deep under the sea without water, where only they could see the Buddha Light and the Buddha character, aside from appearing on the Video Wall of the Flying Treasure.
After waving his hands a few times, Jiang Tang clapped in the direction of the palace gate.
“Ya ya ya”
The palace gates opened automatically, and as they did, seven-colored Immortal Qi spilled out.
Jiang Tang used his Heart-Devouring Great Method to collect the flowing seven-colored Immortal Qi into his inner spatial realm.
On the Video Wall inside the Magical Treasure, the crowd only saw the beautiful Immortal Qi captivating their hearts, merely puzzled as to why the seven-colored Immortal Qi disappeared as soon as it floated out.
The nine beauties who had received the seven-colored Immortal Qi felt regretful, believing they should have also absorbed the seven-colored Immortal Qi outside.
They only felt regret when they saw the Immortal Qi vanish, assuming Jiang Tang had absorbed it.
But that wasn’t a waste, for the stronger their man became, the better he could protect them.
The women didn’t know that Jiang Tang, who was constantly growing stronger, didn’t dare to elevate himself too quickly but instead hid some of the finer things within his space.
The children within the Magical Treasure did not understand how precious this kind of seven-colored luster was to cultivators, practically a treasure.
Even the great powers of the Cultivation World sought after this kind of seven-colored luster Immortal Qi.
The seven-colored luster Immortal Qi had been witnessed by the Dragon King, the Crown Prince, and the Princess when they had gone to the Celestial Court.
They had not felt it was a pity that the Buddha Light Immortal Qi from the palace gates had drifted away.
Their attention was on the West Sea Dragon King and Ao Guang, and the brothers of the Southern Sea Dragon King, who should greet each other with mournful sighs of longing.
When the West Sea Dragon King and Ao Guang met, they enthusiastically began to fight, with the Southern Sea Dragon King unable to stop them.
Not joining in their fight, the West Sea Dragon King cursed while throwing punches, “You scoundrel Ao Guang, you’ve brought disaster upon us all; today, I must teach you a lesson.”
“Brother of the West Sea, haven’t I apologized already?”
Ao Guang was not foolish enough to be beaten without dodging and weaving.
In the midst of evasion, he retaliated; he wasn’t about to suffer without fighting back.
The Southern Sea Dragon King did not try to mediate, simply standing by and watching.
The Crown Prince of the Southern Sea Dragon King and the Crown Prince of the West Sea Dragon King started chatting when they met.
The Princess of the Southern Sea Dragon King and the Princess of the West Sea Dragon King also struck up a conversation, with none of them attempting to break up the fight.
In fact, they hadn’t seen Ao Guang’s Crown Prince and Princess; otherwise, they would have gone after them too.
Jiang Tang stood aside, watching the quarrel without trying to persuade or interfere.
The opening of the West Sea palace gates meant the seven-colored luster Immortal Qi was indeed sucked away.
With the West Sea Dragon Palace open, unusual phenomena appeared in the West Sea.
Suddenly, an enormous Buddha character appeared in the sky, followed by a fleeting glimpse of the Dragon Palace.
The nearby fishermen, who had never seen such a sight, believed it was the manifestation of Immortals.
Myths spoke of a Dragon Palace beneath the sea, and though they were fishermen, they lacked the ability to venture into the deep sea.
Even the best divers could hold their breath for only about fifteen minutes, and going deep underwater, they found the bottom seemed like an endless pit, far beyond their reach.
No diver had ever managed to explore the depths of the seabed, and as for treasures that might lie in the deep, of course, no one had retrieved them.
Even the strongest of divers could only bring up corals, seaweed, and the like from the seafloor.
These were already valuable, fetching some money.
If lucky, they could even find shells containing pearls.
The presence of this mythical Dragon Palace before their eyes seemed like an illusion, a sight tangible yet intangible.
Merely witnessing the Dragon Palace with their own eyes was considered a stroke of good fortune.
The fishermen and the people on the shore who witnessed this spectacle all knelt down.
Those who lived by the sea knelt to pay homage to the Sea Immortals, as was their annual ritual of worship.
Far from the West Sea, the powers that had just fought with the Southern Sea Dragon King in the Southern Sea seemed to sense something about the West Sea.
Sensing something unusual in the West Sea, they all abandoned their investigations of the strange waters in the Southern Sea and headed to the West Sea to discover the truth for themselves.
