747: Chapter 493 747: Chapter 493 He couldn’t always keep the Dragon Palace closed, nor could it be sealed again, after the master left, their place once again became inaccessible from the outside and unescapable from the inside.
Ao Guang remained silent; indeed, he was reluctant to give items to those people, but after his Dragon Palace was opened, some items were taken by others.
The person who took them was right here; he couldn’t possibly say that the items unobtainable by those who pursued them for thousands of miles were all taken by this person in front of him, could he?
The Southern Sea Dragon King agreed with the West Sea Dragon King’s thoughts; it was only when his palace gates were closed that the humans came to entangle themselves, and they didn’t obtain anything.
At that time, they believed that they certainly couldn’t let others take the things from their palaces.
So they fought with humans for several days and nights at a disadvantage.
In fact, they were quite helpless; they didn’t have the ability to open the palace gates again.
They couldn’t satisfy the demands of others, even if it meant fighting to the death.
Jiang Tang, seeing how much they were discussing, offered them a clue:
“They weren’t after the treasures from your places; they came for the Buddha Ancestor’s seal and its seven-colored radiance.”
“The Buddha Sealing Spell’s seven-colored radiance?”
The three Dragon Kings and the Crown Prince and Princess suddenly understood; they had become Immortals and didn’t care for this type of Immortal Qi.
Moreover, it was the Immortal Qi from the Buddhist Sect’s sealing spell, which they couldn’t absorb.
Immortal Qi indeed had great use for the cultivators in the Mortal Realm, no wonder they pursued it persistently like a relentless plaster.
The seven-colored Immortal Qi from the Buddha Seal mentioned by Jiang Tang was only known to those present who had seen it or knew of the palace gates’ sealing, knowing it to be a treasure.
The youngsters practicing cultivation felt that cultivating inside the Dragon Palace enriched their Spiritual Energy much more than before when they cultivated on the Flying Artifact; they didn’t know if it was due to the treasures he mentioned.
They had never seen the seven-colored Immortal Qi from the Buddha Seal and wondered if it was the kind of Spiritual Energy exclusive to Immortals from fairy tales.
“It’s no solution for us to just stay inside with those humans guarding the palace gates,” said one of them.
The West Sea Dragon King was the first to voice an opinion; the dragons from their Dragon Palaces hadn’t gone out for thousands of years.
The dragons from the Dragon Palaces of the East Sea Dragon King and the West Sea Dragon King had at least ventured out from their homes to this distant place.
“Right, Immortals, we haven’t seen the outside world for tens of millions of years.
This time we can’t ascend to the Celestial Court, but we should be allowed to roam outside,” said the West Sea Dragon King’s Crown Prince, not caring about his father or uncle’s grand aspirations, they just wanted to travel.
“Exactly, we hear that the current capable beings in the Cultivation World are too weak; we also want to go and give them some guidance,” said the Second Prince of the West Sea Dragon King, only to be silenced by Ao Guang with a gesture.
You don’t need to go out into the world to challenge the strong; those dozen youngsters are the current strongest beings in the Cultivation World.
“Them?”
All the dragons in the living room began to probe the so-called strongest beings outside with their Divine Sense.
The ones Bei Long called youngsters were Mahayana practitioners over a thousand years old from the Cultivation World, jointly applying their strength to attack the palace gates and walls continuously.
It was uncertain whether the palace gates and walls of the Dragon Palace were too formidable or if there was some trickery involved because their hits felt like striking cotton.
That was the power of a dozen Great Power Holders combined in a heavy strike; even Immortal Treasures would have made a clinking sound, right?
But the palace gates and walls made not a single noise, as if they were groping the walls and gates.
As they struggled to comprehend, they discovered some dragons’ Divine Sense reaching out from within the palace gates.
Unable to open the doors and walls of the palace and filled with reluctance and tension, the Mahayana practitioners immediately unleashed their powerful Divine Sense Attacks against the invading Divine Sense.
If they couldn’t find the dragons, destroying their Divine Sense would at least let off some steam and show how formidable they were.
The West Sea Dragon King and the Crown Prince and Princess had never fought against these Great Power Holders.
They could only hastily retaliate against the sudden attack from the great power holder.
The Southern Sea Dragon King and Ao Guang, the Crown Prince and Princess of the Southern Sea Dragon King, had clashed with these humans before and never believed them to be pushovers.
When venturing outside their domain, they had already taken precautions against potential attacks.
Indeed, as they expected, they could only counter the soul magic attacks from their opponents with their own soul magic.
This method of soul against soul combat and the spell and cultivation technique combat they were used to were different.
It did not trigger ice and fire extremes or affect the sea water in the Western Sea region, nor did it affect the passing ships and fish.
Previously, there had been giant waves and thunderous winds; fishermen, who had narrowly escaped with their lives, had since returned to shore and, finding the waters calm, did not dare to venture out to fish again.
The passing fishing boats were still far away, unaware that a catastrophe had recently occurred here.
Jiang Tang watched them compete with their souls and didn’t care who won or lost.
As long as it didn’t affect the surrounding sea area and no more maritime accidents occurred, he enjoyed watching the spectacle.
He even recorded the process of their battle to show to his less capable subordinates, allowing them to watch the fight between the dragons and the Dragon King, the Immortal Venerable.
The spells they used were different.
The opponent’s weakness might possibly fall into the other’s grasp.
During their soul combat, Ao Guang and the Southern Sea Dragon King, Crown Prince, and Princess were extra cautious, having suffered from their opponents’ poisonous cultivation techniques before.
When Ao Guang had fought these capable beings, he had wanted to seize their souls and subjugate them, using his magical treasures to turn these human capable beings into his disciples or underlings.
Indeed, he hadn’t expected human great power holders to be as weak as they had imagined.
The air in the mortal realm might be weak, but that did not mean the great power holders were weak or that their mana was inferior to theirs.
They had underestimated them before and now they dealt with them cautiously and prudently.
In soul combat, it was always the stronger attacking the weaker.
If your soul power wasn’t strong enough, you risked being devoured, possibly having your soul eaten by the other.
The Dragon King’s team tried to condense their souls into the finest strength, hoping to scatter the opponent’s soul force and then slowly devour it bit by bit.
Those well-versed in battle from the Cultivation World and the Mahayana, knew of a method involving devouring souls, seizing them to grow their own souls stronger – this method, somewhat demonic, was not something done by right-minded people.
Such petty and despicable behavior was also found in these dragons.
Old men started cursing the dragons, calling them old but undying creatures engaging in base conduct, acting like turtles shrinking their heads, too cowardly to come out and fight earnestly.
“Grandson, do you think your abilities are strong?
You kids, you are not worthy to compete with the likes of me, dragon Big Daddy.”
Ao Guang’s words greatly angered the group of old men.
They were, after all, over a thousand years old, always respected and admired by the younger generations.
In the mouths of these dragons, however, they were called “kids” and “grandsons,” terms that made it impossible for these old faces to hang on to their dignity.
“If you have the guts, come out here!
Your grand ancestor is right here, dare to face a duel with me!”
The first one who couldn’t stand the provocation was Tang Ancestor, whose fiery temper exploded at the other’s words.
“Cut the crap, we are dueling one-on-one right now.
You kids and grandsons are not even worthy enough to claim our team is large.
Our team hasn’t even fully assembled yet!”
Ao Guang vented his spittle as he spoke, annoying others with his idle prattle.
Furious at being insulted by the dragons, the nine beauties prepared to take action.
Jiang Tang…caught in the middle again as things escalated to a new conflict.
“Ao Guang, mind your words and don’t insult their ancestors, or I’ll have these beauties here strip the skin from your dragon hide!”
Jiang Tang’s warning shut Ao Guang up; he had previously said that the outside world housed the strongest in the Cultivation World, but he had overlooked the fact that the person before him was the strongest among cultivators.
This cunning human could outmatch over a dozen similar great powers on his own.
Without even having lifted a finger against them, he had used some magical treasures and spiritual pets to make them concede defeat.
The dragons in the living room also sensed that Jiang Tang’s nine beauties were ready to mince them into ground meat on the spot.
Internally, they all blamed Ao Guang for his foolish chatter, and at this moment, he too fell silent.
Jiang Tang did not let the beauties at his side take action because he did not want their involvement in the fight to once again turn the sea area upside down.
