Through Wei Boyang's narration, Bai Cang gained a better understanding of the outer sea, the vast ocean, and Zhentian Pass.

For example, Zhentian Pass is divided into nine inner levels and nine outer levels, totaling eighteen passes.

Moreover, each level of the Heavenly Gate is overseen by at least one Golden Immortal who has attained the Dao.

For example, the power and structure in the outer seas, and the background of the Azure Wave Dragon King, etc.

Although these are just the most basic "public intellectual information," they can be found out as long as you pay attention and are willing to spend some time.

However, Bai Cang did indeed benefit greatly from it.

For a time, the two chatted happily and almost became sworn brothers in name only, burning joss paper and swearing oaths of brotherhood whenever they had free time.

After a long while, Wei Boyang finally left with his beloved grandson, seemingly reluctant to part with him.

Bai Cang didn't think too much about it. After turning around at the Eight Views Cloud Tower, he headed towards the Azure Wave Dragon King's cave.

As for whether Wei Boyang had any schemes or was trying to trap him, that remains to be seen.

Bai Cang was too lazy to think too much: kill them one by one, and once they're all gone, any schemes or plots will naturally vanish.

If you can't kill him, then hold a grudge and come back to wipe him out completely when you've greatly improved your strength.

Holding a trump card of Dao-level power makes one incredibly arrogant.

After a long and arduous journey, Bai Cang soon arrived outside the Crystal Palace of the Azure Wave Dragon King and threw down Wei Boyang's name card.

From Wei Boyang, Bai Cang learned that this Azure Wave Dragon King was one of the Fourteen Dragon Kings of the Outer Sea, and had become a disciple of the only two Demon Saints in the world.

These naturally pure-blooded dragons mostly have long lifespans.

Without needing to gradually develop any divine or demonic techniques, as long as one can live to adulthood, one can be comparable to the tenth level of a god or demon and possess an immortal body.

To be precise: the true teachings of the True Dragon lineage were created by imitating these pure-blooded True Dragons.

However, the Xuanmen sect is now very powerful, and the Qi Refining lineage is in the lead.

Therefore, most of these pure-blooded true dragons also practice the Xuanmen Qi cultivation method in order to prove the Dao and the primordial spirit, so as not to be rejected by the orthodox mainstream.

The Azure Dragon King was a pure-blooded Azure Dragon with an extremely high bloodline concentration, making him a powerful being comparable to the eleventh level of a god or demon, a being capable of rebirth through a drop of blood.

Moreover, those who have mastered the ancient methods have also cultivated their primordial spirit and Dharma body.

It is essentially a "dual primordial spirit" who cultivates both Taoism and demonism, possessing extraordinary strength and noble origins.

However, in today's world, the Xuanmen sect has become so powerful that it is almost the only one that dominates.

Although the Azure Dragon King was under the protection of two demon saints, those two demon saints were already in dire need of protection themselves.

If it weren't for the appearance of the distant heavens, which allowed them to escape into them and the protection of the phoenix, they would probably have been hunted down by that ancient sword ancestor long ago, with nowhere to go in the sky or on the ground.

The Azure Wave Dragon King and fourteen other dragon kings took root in the outer sea, willingly serving as a barrier for the inland lands of the Central Plains, also for their own protection.

To put it bluntly, it's about offering a pledge of allegiance in exchange for the tolerance of the orthodox sects of Taoism.

Therefore, all the Dragon Kings have always been very cautious in their actions, always trying to be kind to people, making many friends and forming many good relationships.

It's better to be overly polite than to offend someone easily.

Those with powerful connections, backgrounds, and backers, as well as those whose origins are unclear but who possess formidable strength, are especially regarded as honored guests by the various Dragon Palaces, who are unwilling to offend them in the slightest.

Bai Cang happens to have both.

Wei Boyang of Tianyuan Island was a well-known figure in the open sea, famous for being difficult and fierce.

Bai Cang himself did not reveal his name or surname, nor did anyone know the depth of his actions or the level of his cultivation.

However, the fact that he used a demonic old man as his mount was enough to reveal his true nature.

Upon receiving the simultaneous interpretation from the sea patrol yaksha, the Azure Wave Dragon King immediately rose and led a group of dragon sons and grandsons, shrimp soldiers and crab generals out of the palace to greet him, saying, "Immortal, please come in, please come in."

Until they met in the palace, and after the tea was served,

With a wave of his sleeve, the Azure Wave Dragon King summoned a variety of beautiful women to sing and dance.

Musical instruments, graceful figures, delicacies from land and sea, and exquisite dishes.

The event was quite grand, with singing and dancing, creating a very peaceful atmosphere.

Unbeknownst to them, the Azure Wave Dragon King had managed to invite many more guests in a short period of time.

They were all members of the immortal clan with names and surnames from the nearby sea area.

Such a practiced and skillful demeanor is enough to make one's heart ache.

How many times must your mother have been beaten by the autumn wind to develop such a skillful "posture"?

Thinking this, Bai Cang felt a little reluctant. He chatted with the Azure Wave Dragon King for a while before raising his cup and saying with a smile, "Old Dragon King, I've heard that your palace has a primordial spiritual artifact. May I have the honor of seeing it and broadening my horizons?"

"Bai Dao Da Jun" was kind-hearted and did not directly demand it, but only said that it was "to broaden one's horizons", which can be said to have given Bi Bo Long Wang enough face.

Moreover, if you directly ask for it, the old Dragon King will say he doesn't have it. Does he think he can just wipe out the entire Azure Wave Dragon Palace?

But if they won't even let you take a look, that would be going too far.

It's clear they don't trust him, "Lord Bai Daodao," and it's an insult to his noble character and lofty morality.

Feeling humiliated, Bai Cang immediately turned hostile, even resorting to violence and killing Bai Cang's entire family. Doesn't that sound much more reasonable?

However……

The Azure Wave Dragon King has a wealth of experience in being taken advantage of.

Ever since some damned beast spread the "rumor" that the Dragon Palace was incredibly wealthy, people have been coming to the Dragon Kings' doors to beg for their money in an endless stream.

The first thing they said was, "The old Dragon King owns fourteen seas," and "I've long heard of the Dragon Palace's wealth and power," so they had to show them something.

If you're unwilling to show your appreciation, then you're not being considerate enough, and we'll have to call on our friends and family to ask you what your true intentions are.

Due to their own circumstances, the Dragon Kings are often willing to make good connections and suffer financial losses to avoid disaster.

You've taken my money, so you can't kill me now.

"Almost the same" means that; it has long been a habit and has become a kind of unspoken rule.

If Bai Cang were to ask for anything else, even a magical artifact.

The Azure Dragon King might grit his teeth and give it to him.

After all, Bai Cang had a grand entrance, and Wei Boyang had a formidable reputation.

However, the moment he opened his mouth, he asked for a primordial spiritual object, which made even the "battle-hardened" Azure Wave Dragon King tremble involuntarily.

He chuckled and pretended to be clueless, saying, "I've only heard of innate spiritual objects, but I've never actually seen one."

After all, such a spiritual object, if used to refine treasures, would surely reach the peak of true form and be used to refine thirty-six Heavenly Gang Treasure Restrictions.

If one can receive guidance from a master and develop intelligence, there is even a chance to create a divine restriction and achieve a magical artifact.

Such a precious item, even if the old dragon were lucky enough to obtain it, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it; someone would have already demanded it.

"Fellow Daoist, have you perhaps heard a rumor, or misheard it?"

The words of the Azure Wave Dragon King were undeniably brilliant.

He's practically a master of playing dumb, a true "advisor-level" expert.

It not only highlights the preciousness of innate spiritual objects, but also subtly instigates others, implying that they are using Bai Cang as a pawn!
