Both dragons also spewed water, sending a deluge resembling the vast ocean barreling towards the dwarf, submerging him in an instant.
The land that originally belonged to Hell Palace’s Magic Artifact quickly became an ocean under the operation of the two dragons.
In this created ocean, the queen took the opportunity to slowly move the city treasure toward the river in front of the submarine.
General Maria in the submarine also seized the opportunity to bring the vessel close to the Magical Treasure City.
The Demonic Beasts of the land, adept at diving and swimming, were suddenly surrounded by so much water that they could only look out for themselves and did not bother with the ocean city and the submarine.
Amid their surprise, the queen and General Maria finally saw the Magical Treasure City and submarine unite in the midst of the battle between the Dragon King and the Hell Palace’s Artifact Spirit.
The Artifact Spirit of the Hell Palace was really furious; with two dragons to fight, of course, he wanted to teach them a lesson and didn’t care about the city treasure or the submarine.
Their master also didn’t restrict those who were controlling the city treasure and the submarine.
Jiang Tang ignored the Hell Palace’s Artifact Spirit, as well as the Dragon King’s showdown, reasoning that as the beastmen of the city treasure and the submarine couldn’t leave the treasure to wreak havoc in The Mortal Realm, they could be spared for the time being.
He, along with the Southern Sea’s Dragon King, Crown Prince, and Princess, led by the Crown Prince and Princess of the West Sea’s Dragon King, entered the palace.
Guided by them, Jiang Tang began his visit.
Jiang Tang had visited the East Sea Dragon King’s Dragon Palace before, but it was a chaotic ghostly mess.
With the Eldest Prince of the East Sea Dragon King causing trouble as well, there were no treasures worth mentioning in the palace; even the air quality was poor.
He had never visited the Southern Sea Dragon King’s palace; powerful beings had arrived, interfering with his tour.
The Crown Prince and Princess of the West Sea were a bit afraid of Jiang Tang and pleaded on behalf of their father, asking for leniency for their Emperor.
Jiang Tang merely told them that he wanted to let them play in the Magical Treasure for a while; they wouldn’t get hurt or die.
The Southern Sea’s Dragon King and his Crown Prince and Princess had been inside that treasure before, and though they hadn’t been hurt, staying inside wasn’t safe—there was a fear of not being able to get out.
The Southern Sea’s Dragon King reassured the Crown Prince and Princess of the West Sea by saying that their fathers, the Dragon Kings of the West and East Seas, had disrupted the fishermen at sea with their Dao Arts, and this Human Immortal was only trying to prevent them from fighting here.
As the Dragon King of the Southern Sea said this, the Crown Prince and Princess used their powers to observe the sea, and indeed, as the Southern Sea’s Dragon King had stated, the surface churned with giant waves, causing panic among fishermen and civilians on the shore.
They used their mana to control the seawater, and soon the sky stopped raining, the winds ceased, and calmness returned to the sea surface.
The fishermen previously on the sea had capsized boats, but after the calm, with their own abilities, they righted the boats—only to find them filled with water, which they had to bail out.
The fish they had caught fell back into the sea, leaving them no choice but to consider themselves unlucky, prioritizing getting quickly back to shore over fishing.
Being able to save their own lives was indeed fortunate, as these people rushed back to shore.
Seeing the sea calm down, those who had anxiously worried on shore now showed joy, later welcoming their returning loved ones.
They were empty-handed of fish, but no one showed blame—only relief and happiness.
The sea had just returned to tranquility when a dozen or so powerful beings who had sensed anomalies in the West Sea approached.
They seemed very in sync, sprinting to get here, and upon arrival wondered why the sea was so calm?
The “Buddha” character they had sensed before was nowhere to be seen now.
It was as if it had been just an illusion of their own making.
The signs of recent rain on shore were quite real, though.
No anomalies showed in the sky, nor upon the sea.
The “Buddha” character had appeared to ascend from the sea to the sky.
It was also these powerful individuals who then sent their Divine Sense deep into the sea.
Within the Dragon Palace, Jiang Tang, who was being shown around, became a guest of honor, hosted by the Princes.
They treated him to the fine wines of the Dragon Palace and served seafood, with the Crown Princes ordering beautiful dances.
Music played in the palace, contributing to an atmosphere of harmony and joy.
The Southern Sea’s Dragon King and his children had not expected the West Sea’s Crown Prince and Princess to host in such a manner.
It seemed that the West Sea Dragon King had not spent his millions of years in seclusion; aside from Cultivation, he enjoyed such festivities.
Jiang Tang suddenly sensed an anomaly high above the sea surface, coming from other Immortals, whose powerful auras he recognized.
Realizing these old fellows were persistently following him, he now arrived at the West Sea.
Jiang Tang had no wish to meet with them, nor did he want these old-timers to know about the Heaven-Mending Spell right now.
“””
Waiting until he could finally find the Heaven-Mending Spell, then seeking those old immortals.
These lively old folks would probably show up by his side eventually without him having to look for them.
Jiang Tang certainly needed their help, but not now, he did not want them meddling in this.
Thus, he swiftly collected the Flying Treasure into the Dragon Palace, then quickly shut the palace’s doors, and sealed them with a Buddha Seal.
The gates of the West Sea Dragon Palace had just opened, and now they were closed again and even sealed with a Buddha Seal.
The Crown Prince and Princess wore expressions of shock, their Dragon Palace was no longer under their control.
The opponent was so powerful that he could open the palace gates and seal them at will.
Looking at the man who was watching the singing and dancing, both the Crown Prince and Princess felt this cultivator, more powerful than them, was enigmatic.
“Immortal, what is going on?
Why seal the Dragon Palace again?”
The Eldest Prince of the West Sea Dragon King, under great pressure, asked Jiang Tang.
Although they were immortals, they felt an immense pressure in front of Jiang Tang.
It was strange that this man, who was not yet an immortal, could give off such an oppressive feeling.
But the fact that he could use the Immortal Buddha Seal indicated that, even if he was not an Immortal, his abilities were incredibly high, comparable to theirs, the Immortal Venerables.
“Don’t panic, the sealed gates are just to prevent outsiders from barging in; I’ll definitely open them when I leave.”
Upon hearing Jiang Tang’s words, the Southern Sea Dragon King and the Crown Prince and Princess, although sealed within the Dragon Palace, used their Divine Sense to peer outside.
They felt a familiar presence on the sea’s surface outside, then realized that these must be individuals they had clashed with before.
Remembering, they were the ones they had fought in the Southern Sea territory.
“Why have they come?”
“They must have followed us here.”
The words of the Southern Sea Dragon King and his Crown Prince and Princess were incomprehensible to the Crown Prince and Princess of the West Sea Dragon King.
They could only ask them what was happening.
Upon learning that these people were not allies of Jiang Tang, and that they wanted to explore the Dragon Palace for treasures?
The Southern Sea Dragon Palace was closed, hiding its secrets from view.
And now they had followed to this place; Jiang Tang was right to deny them entry, as they also did not wish to confront these people.
Jiang Tang explained to prevent these people from fighting with them, which would affect the entire sea region and could bring calamity to ordinary people.
With Jiang Tang’s compassionate heart, what could all the dragons within the palace say?
On the Flying Treasure’s video wall, the interior of the Dragon Palace suddenly appeared.
Nine fairies and the children were no longer focused on cultivation, eager instead to explore the Dragon Palace.
Xuanyuan Mengting spoke on behalf of the nine women, conveying their thoughts to Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang heard and agreed, bringing the Flying Treasure close to the Dragon Palace Main Hall, then opened it to let the people inside come down, after which he put away the Flying Treasure.
The palace entrance guards, upon suddenly seeing so many people descending from a magical treasure, rushed to report to the Crown Princes.
The Crown Prince and Princess, after hearing the guards’ words, fixed their gaze on Jiang Tang.
Even the Southern Sea Dragon King, Crown Prince, and Princess looked at Jiang Tang, realizing he had used a magical treasure for flight.
Why hadn’t they noticed it before?
“Let them in; these are my people.”
The guards, uncertain whom to listen to for a moment, cast their eyes towards the Crown Prince and Princess.
“Didn’t you hear what the Immortal said?
Invite them in.”
No sooner had the Eldest Prince spoken than the guards saluted and obediently went to call the newcomers.
“The Crown Prince and Princess invite the fairies into the palace!”
The nine beauties smiled, and under the guards’ watchful eyes, they confidently led their disciples into the Dragon Palace.
