Chapter 537: The Dragon Lord's Choice, Zheng Fa's Release

Xiao Yuying walked into the courtyard.

The Jade Dragon Lord stood by the pool, looking down at the three dragon eggs, and seemed unaware of the arrival of his disciple.

Xiao Yuying didn't say anything, but just walked silently to the side of Lord Shuyu Dragon.

The Lord of Shuyu Dragon turned his palm upwards.

A colorful cloud was reflected in the water, and drizzle carrying spiritual energy gently dripped onto the three dragon eggs.

She has the cultivation level of a true immortal and has noble bloodline, so even if she just does it casually, this spiritual rain contains vibrant vitality.

Even though these three dragon eggs were still young, under the nourishment of this vitality, they seemed to have developed some instinctive intelligence.

As soon as the Shuyu Dragon Lord's palm fell, the three dragon eggs jumped at the same time, and their pointed heads rushed to rub against her palm.

Xiao Yuying could see that her master's eyes were full of love and joy.

It was such a simple game, but my million-year-old master never got tired of it. He played it again and again and was even more interested in it than usual.

After a long while, Lord Shuyu Dragon turned around, glanced at Xiao Yuying, and walked out of the courtyard.

When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around, looked at the dragon egg, and stared at it for a long time, as if saying goodbye.

Xiao Yuying's expression became increasingly gloomy.

The master and disciple remained silent as they walked out of Ziweiyuan, one in front and one behind, and walked out of the Jiushan Realm.

"Master."

Xiao Yuying finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Um?"

“…Nothing.”

Xiao Yuying lowered her head again. What was she saying?

Even if her master insisted on having his own way, she would be powerless to stop him.

No matter what Lord Shuyu Dragon does, the kindness of his teachings should never be forgotten.

The Jade Dragon Lord looked at her deeply and suddenly asked, "Don't you want to leave with me?"

Xiao Yuying gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!"

Lord Shuyu Dragon remained silent for a long time and just looked at her quietly.

Xiao Yuying did not avoid the question and looked into the eyes of her master.

"Your transformation into a god went smoothly?"

"Yes." Xiao Yuying said softly, "Master Zheng changed my foundation for me and taught me the Nine Mountains True Method. There is no difficulty in becoming a spirit."

"Nine Mountains True Method..." Lord Shuyu Dragon repeated softly, "Nothing hidden?"

"No, I practice whatever Master Zheng practices."

There was a smile on Xiao Yuying's face.

Lord Shuyu Dragon asked again: "Have the people of the Nine Mountains Realm changed their attitude towards you these days?"

"No."

The Jade Dragon Lord narrowed his eyes and asked, "Really?"

"Indeed not. I do have some concerns, but everyone in Jiushan treats me as usual, and they have never deliberately concealed important matters from me."

Xiao Yuying's tone was very affirmative.

Of course she had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

But on the other hand, the major events in the Nine Mountains Realm did not avoid her.

She was present when the second fifty-year plan was being drawn up.

She even participated in the establishment of the Shenxiao Legion - after all, her thunder magic skills were among the top three in the Nine Mountains Realm.

Instead, she felt a little embarrassed.

The Jade Dragon Lord looked at her face deeply, as if trying to determine whether what she said was true or false. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Tell Zheng Fa that an ancient dragon clan appeared in the North Sea, known as the Cangming Dragon King."

Xiao Yuying's eyes suddenly widened.

She finally understood why her master had been acting strangely recently.

As a disciple, how could she not know the Dragon Lord's desire to be close to his own kind?

The Jade Dragon Lord continued, "I see that the Cangming Dragon King seems to have the ambition to swallow up the world."

Xiao Yuying blinked.

The inclination in Master's words actually seems to be choosing the Jiushan Sect?

To be honest, she herself didn't quite understand why her master had been looking for fellow tribesmen for so many years!

The Jade Dragon Lord seemed to have seen through her thoughts and chuckled, "You have not been wronged."

Xiao Yuying was stunned, then suddenly said, "Master, did you do this on purpose?"

"I deliberately can't say it. I am indeed in a dilemma." Lord Shuyu Dragon looked to the east, as if he was looking at the sea. "But Zheng Fa is not a fool. He should have known some of the situation earlier and treated you as before..."

Xiao Yuying nodded repeatedly.

"The Jiushan Sect cultivated the dragon eggs for me. They never delayed or disobeyed me, and they never did anything behind my back."

The words of Lord Shuyu Dragon filled Xiao Yuying's eyes with shock. She felt that she had never understood her own master.

"Master, you often come to the Nine Mountains Realm. Are you checking the dragon eggs?"

The Jade Dragon Lord laughed, and suddenly said something that Xiao Yuying couldn't understand: "I am the last ancient dragon of Xuanwei. Do you know what this means?"

"I don't know."

"Since I was born, there have been monks who wanted to capture me and keep me in captivity, and even use me as medicine to make pills. If it weren't for this sea protecting me, I would have been skinned and torn apart by the fish."

Lord Shuyu Dragon was still smiling, but Xiao Yuying felt cold all over.

She had never thought that her master, Zongheng Xuanwei, would have such a difficult time, but when she thought about it, it made sense:

A real dragon is full of treasures.

Even a master needs to grow slowly.

An ignorant ancient dragon without any elders to take care of him encountered far more malice than kindness.

Master’s thoughts are much deeper than I know.

Looking at her master's eyes again, she felt that these eyes were more crystal clear than ever before.

"So, Master, you want to find your kindred spirit?"

The Jade Dragon Lord did not answer, but stepped into the clouds, leaving only one sentence in Xiao Yuying's ears:

"It's not easy to find a place of peace of mind, and it's even harder to find a fellow Taoist you can trust."

…

In Cangming Dragon Palace, invited by the Dragon King, Lord Shuyu Dragon came to the banquet again.

Perhaps because it has taken control of this sea area, the Dragon Palace has become more lively and magnificent than before.

The mermaid played the piano, the pearl girl danced, the jade flute sounded, and the fish and dragons shone.

Treasures from all over the world were piled on the plate, and priceless pearls and jade were scattered on the ground.

The fragrance of immortal wine wafts in the air, singing and dancing resound in the air, and the precious light shines on the smiling face of the Dragon King, making it even more enthusiastic.

The Dragon King and his family exchanged glances with each other, but the Jade Dragon Lord seemed unaware and just tapped the table lightly to the rhythm of the singing and dancing.

"Why don't you toast to the Dragon Lord?"

The Dragon King of Cangming suddenly shouted at the Second Prince.

The Second Prince stood up, his eyes fell on Dragon Lord's face, his eyes full of affection, he slowly walked to Dragon Lord and said to her: "Thank you Dragon Lord for your presence."

Lord Shuyu Dragon glanced at him, nodded slightly, and sipped his wine glass.

The Dragon King of Cangming gave his queen a look.

Over the years, the two sides have maintained close exchanges, but there is still one step missing.

He did find out clearly that this Dragon Lord had no fellows and was very lonely. However, he always turned a blind eye to the enthusiasm of his second son and seemed to not understand anything else.

Of course he was anxious.

The queen understood what he meant, and gently put down the wine glass, smiling more sincerely: "Dragon Lord, our two families have been getting along well over the years, but there is one thing, please do not think my family is abrupt."

The Jade Dragon Lord's eyes passed over the Second Prince's face, then looked at the Queen. He was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Queen, please speak."

"I dare not speak directly to the Dragon Lord about this matter, but my family can't find anyone else to come to the Dragon Lord's door."

The queen's smile was apologetic, but she also secretly pointed out that the Dragon Lord was a lonely man.

"I will speak frankly. My useless second son has long admired the Dragon Lord."

The Dragon Lord looked at the Second Prince, only to see that his face was flushed and he looked shy, but his eyes were becoming more affectionate, as if he really loved her.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Cangming Dragon King spoke up: "This is not just my son's idea. My family is very fond of Master Long's character. If our two families can become one, we will have no regrets in this life."

"What's more, with the combined efforts of our two families, the sea area will be secured soon, and we can rest assured in the future."

"Sleep easy and worry-free?" Lord Shuyu Dragon raised an eyebrow. "I heard that the Golden Immortal is about to descend to the world. How can we sleep easy and worry-free?"

The Cangming Dragon King laughed: "Dragon Lord, you don't know the inside story. I have inherited the secret method of the Dragon Ancestor. As long as I unify the sea area, I can try to prove the way of the Golden Immortal! In the future, I can even get a glimpse of the realm above the Golden Immortal!"

"The secret method of Dragon Ancestor..." The Shuyu Dragon Lord's face was moved and he nodded, "I indeed did not receive this inheritance."

Cangming Dragon King laughed and said, "The Dragon Ancestor's secret method was only passed down after the Dragon Ancestor's death. Otherwise, how would we have the opportunity to achieve the Golden Immortal?"

The meaning of this statement is very clear - before the Dragon Ancestor dies, it is impossible to spread the Golden Immortal method, so as to prevent anyone from threatening his position.

So Lord Shuyu Dragon doesn’t have it.

Seeing that Lord Shuyu Dragon did not speak for a long time, Cangming Dragon King advised again: "Lord Dragon, you also know that the situation in Xuanwei will become more and more dangerous. If we don't join forces and find an opportunity to become a Golden Immortal, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future."

"If you marry my son, and I can achieve the status of a Golden Immortal, I will be able to protect the Dragon Lord and fight for the world for my dragon clan."

When saying this, Cangming Dragon King was very sincere.

How could he not see that the look in the Dragon Lord's eyes when he looked at the Second Prince was as calm as a still pond and as heartless as stone.

Therefore, the Dragon King's persuasion was all based on the future situation and the fate of the dragon clan.

Sure enough, the Dragon Lord's expression was more moving than before.

After a long time, the Dragon Lord seemed to have thought it over and nodded.

Cangming Dragon King did not expect the matter to be so simple, and was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the Dragon Lord say:

"What the Dragon King said makes a lot of sense. I only have two things I want the Dragon King and the Second Prince to agree to."

The Dragon King laughed and said, "Don't mention two, two hundred, two thousand, I will respond to any request!"

The Jade Dragon Lord also smiled and said seriously, "Just two."

"Please speak, Dragon Lord."

"I have three children. If I marry into the Dragon Palace in the future, I hope the Second Prince will treat these three children as his own..."

"Wait!" The Dragon King shouted, and then called to the beautiful mermaids playing the zither, "Stop!"

The singing and dancing stopped immediately.

Cangming Dragon King looked at Shuyu Dragon Lord and frowned, "Just now there was a lot of noise, and I heard Dragon Lord say, you have... a child?"

"You heard me right."

The second prince rolled up his affectionate eyes and looked up at the top of his head, only to find that the huge luminous pearl on his crown looked even greener.

"Hybrid dragon?" The Dragon King seemed to have figured it out and smiled with gritted teeth.

"Pureblood."

“…”

Facing the Dragon Lord's honest gaze, the Dragon King only felt a little confused in his anger, and a little flustered in his confusion.

He opened and closed his mouth, but no word came out.

Then the Jade Dragon Lord continued, "My three children are still young. Dragon King, you know that raising a dragon clan is not easy. I no longer have the intention of having offspring."

The Dragon King grinned, he really couldn't refute it - the ancient dragons had difficulty giving birth on the one hand, and were expensive to raise on the other.

The Cangming Dragon Palace has dominated the Longyuan Realm for many years, but its population is sparse, and it even has to intermarry with the other two Dragon Palaces.

His eldest daughter-in-law has been married for thousands of years but has no children. He feels anxious and longs for love.

Who would have thought that this next step would be in place, the dream would come true, and I would have three more grandchildren?

It can be seen that the Dragon Lord's expression does not seem to be joking.

The face of Cangming Dragon King gradually turned dark.

He really couldn't agree to this:

He is my second son, so it’s okay if he is wronged, but it’s also okay if he loses some face.

The problem is, can three ancient dragons destroy his Cangming Dragon Palace...

If you have his bloodline, then of course there's nothing to worry about. The dragon clan is just like the demon clan. When the descendants improve their cultivation, it will be of great help to their ancestors.

But these three children of the Dragon Lord have nothing to do with him, the Dragon King!

Empty the Cangming Dragon Palace and raise other people's children... He would have to be crazy to agree to this.

Looking at the Dragon Lord, Cangming Dragon King couldn't help but say with some sarcasm: "Dragon Lord, don't be ridiculous. In this world, are there still people who help others raise dragons?"

"Yes, the Jiushan Sect is raising him." Lord Shuyu Dragon paused and said affirmatively, "He is being raised very well."

“…”

Cangming Dragon King was even more speechless. After a long silence, he said, "I wonder what your second thing is, Dragon Lord?"

"Can you pass on your Dragon Ancestor's method of attaining the Golden Immortal to me?"

Cangming Dragon King was completely confused.

No, in your heart, am I, Cangming Dragon Palace, a sucker?

We will raise the child.

Jinxian, you go and prove it.

The Dragon King Cangming took a few deep breaths, and after being speechless for the end, he actually started to laugh.

"Dragon Lord, you know that this is the secret method of the Dragon Ancestor, and even my two sons have not been taught it."

The Jade Dragon Lord looked at him, seeming a little sorry: "The Dragon King will not agree."

"What a joke! Is there anyone in this world who can really agree to these two conditions?"

"Yes, I have……"

Before she could finish, Cangming Dragon King actually answered: "Jiushan Sect?"

"Um."

The Dragon King of Cangming knew very well that what the Dragon Lord had said for a long time was just to reject him.

He also knew that the Dragon Lord had chosen the Jiushan Sect.

His face was livid, his tone was cold, and he sneered, "Dragon Lord, you are too partial to one and unfair to the other. How many years has the Nine Mountains Sect been established? Compared with my Dragon Ancestor's secret method, those methods are just like the light of a firefly compared to the brilliance of the sun and the moon!"

Lord Shuyu Dragon also put away the smile on his face and just looked at him quietly with a calm expression.

This firm attitude made Cangming Dragon King even more angry, and he snorted coldly: "I just hope Dragon Lord, don't regret it!"

Before Lord Shuyu Dragon could say anything, the wine glass in front of him suddenly began to shake.

The mermaid fell to the ground, screaming.

The delicious food and wine spilled on the table, making a mess.

When everyone looked around, they saw the lanterns hanging on the walls swaying left and right, and the sea water seemed to be boiling, with undercurrents surging everywhere.

"Earthquake?"

The expression of Cangming Dragon King was slightly stunned, and he only felt the spiritual energy in the sea rushing towards the sea surface.

He did not bother to get angry with the Dragon Lord and swam towards the surface of the sea. The Shuyu Dragon Lord and others did not understand what was happening and followed closely behind him.

As soon as they came out of the water, they saw a scenery that they would never forget.

From the vast blue sky to the deep sea, all the spiritual energy as far as the eye can see seems to be pulled by something and rushing towards the distance.

They were all ancient dragons who could travel thousands of miles in the sea in an instant. Following the direction where the spiritual energy gathered, they arrived at the seashore in the blink of an eye.

I saw a figure walking out from the rosy glow, step by step, up to the sky.

"Master Zheng?"
