Chapter 553: Dragon Returns to Jiushan, Happy to See
What Xiao Jinwu said actually makes sense - only confidants can be drivers.
But the second prince and his men still got on the carriage with honor.
In Xuanwei Sea, the golden sun hangs high in the sky, and the sea surface is rippling like delicate royal blue brocade.
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon stood in the water, gazing at the coast of Dongzhouan, feeling indescribable.
The battle in Xuanwei Sea has ended, and according to the agreement, she will also completely join the Jiushan Sect.
Even though the Cangming Dragon King ran away, she was not going to regret it.
Not to mention that she is not a person who breaks her promises, more importantly, under the current circumstances, she needs to rely on the Jiushan Sect even more.
The Cangming Dragon King is not dead, the battle in the sea has not stopped, and behind the opponent stands a big monster like the Golden-winged Dapeng.
If she didn't seek help from outside forces, she would inevitably be at a disadvantage and become a meal for the golden-winged Roc.
If she relies on others, then unless she marries the Cangming Dragon King, she will never have any fellow tribesmen.
To a certain extent, she is even more anxious than Jiushan Sect now.
The Jiushan Sect can use her genes to cultivate the ancient dragon clan, and naturally it can also use the genes of the four dragons in the Cangming Dragon Palace to cultivate.
What's more, she has another hidden worry:
"'Tian Gang Di Sha Transformation'..." Thinking of this technique, the Jade Dragon Lord felt more complicated. "If they can really transform into dragons, then what advantages will I have in the sea in the future?"
Although she didn't know whether Zheng Fa said this intentionally for her to hear, she did listen to it.
At this moment, she was the only dragon in the Jiushan Sect that she could trust, and the four dragons of Cangming were far from threatening her special status.
If in the future, the Jiushan Sect cultivates a large number of dragons, even everyone can become a dragon...
Then she is not that important to Jiushan Sect.
Now, she is probably at her highest value.
In the water palace of Longpan Island, she had already taken the initiative to propose this idea, wanting to return to Jiushan as agreed.
Although she was in a complicated mood and even felt a little unwilling, she had been waiting here for a long time.
This is where the ceremony was held.
While he was thinking, he heard the sound of military drums on the shore of Dongzhou. The drumbeats were neat and solemn, shaking the whole area.
After the drumbeat, a purple cloud slowly rose from the sky.
In the purple clouds, four real dragons, dragging a palace, flew towards the seaside.
Yuan Xiaoniao and Xiao Jinwu soared above the palace, their long tail feathers dragging wisps of green and red mist in the air.
The Shenxiao Legion stood in formation, guarding the main hall.
At the entrance of the main hall, Uncle Pang, wearing a brand new Taoist robe and with a flushed face, looked at the four dragons pulling the cart with an expression as if in a dream.
Inside the hall, Senior Sister Zheng Fazhang and other high-ranking officials from the Nine Mountains were looking at the sea.
The surrender of Lord Shuyu Dragon this time is of great significance to Jiushan Sect. In terms of cultivation alone, it is a feat of a snake swallowing an elephant.
The strategic significance goes without saying.
In the short term, it would be difficult for Zheng Fa to find a better sea area partner than the Lord of Jade Dragon. In the long term...it is still unclear whether the Nine Mountains Realm can have a long-term partner.
The reason for making so much of a scene is, on the one hand, to show respect to the Lord of the Jade Dragon, and on the other hand, to make it known to the world.
Ever since the appearance of the Golden-Winged Roc, Zheng Fa and his companions realized that it was no longer possible to make a fortune in silence.
Today, the Jiushan Sect has become extremely impressive in terms of size, reputation and strength.
It is impossible to hide and develop. Neither the four sects nor external forces will ignore them.
This was especially true after the Battle of Xuanwei Sea.
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the situation to establish authority and let those forces, especially the neutral forces, think twice.
Using the four Cangming dragons to pull the cart not only implies the hierarchical relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Jiushan Sect, but is also a "surrender of captives."
Even the location they chose was very close to the North Sea - just to let some people see it.
Under the induction of the Shenxiao Yuanci Array, there were indeed some people observing in secret.
In the sea, the Jade Dragon Lord let out a long roar and transformed into his true form. The golden dragon flew out of the sea and flew straight into the sky.
Her real dragon body has a greater harmony of strength and beauty than the four dragons pulling the cart. Her whole body is silver with gold, shining in the sun.
This dazzling divine beast flew to the front of the hall, with its front paws pressing on the white clouds and its dragon head slightly lowered, as if it was bowing to the Jiushan Sect.
"You're actually bowing down to the human race. How shameful to be of the same clan as the Jade Dragon Lord!"
Under the surface of the North Sea, Cangming Dragon King said with a cold face.
The Golden-winged Roc beside him glanced at him, as if remembering that he had lost his treasure bottle in order to save this man. His face turned very ugly, and he spoke even more rudely: "Your whole family is pulling carts for others, and you are not ashamed of it, so what are you ashamed of now?"
"They must have been forced by Jiushan!"
"I don't know about others, but your second son doesn't look like he was forced."
The second prince of the Cangming Dragon Dynasty looked over and saw that the guy had a solemn expression on his face. He was flying fast and steadily, and he was really serious.
He almost wanted to vomit blood. When had he ever seen this evil boy be so obedient?
Just as Cangming Dragon King was speechless and puzzled, Zheng Fa's gentle voice came from the air:
"Dragon Lord, thank you for your courtesy. Please stand up."
Zheng Fa flew out of the Heavenly Palace with the elders of Jiushan Sect, raising his right hand slightly.
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon was not pretentious. He transformed into a human form, holding the Wanhai Seal and a jade book in his hands.
She raised the seal above her head and said aloud, "The Mysterious Map reveals the secrets of the vast ocean, and the precious seal holds the destiny of the dragon clan. I now offer the Nine Mountains, and Shuyu is willing to attach herself to the Nine Mountains' banners, praying that the Dragon Ancestor will be my witness and that the mountains and seas will be my allegiance!"
The Wanhai Seal flew high into the sky, and the shadow of the Dragon Ancestor reappeared, covering the Heavenly Palace and the Lord of Shuyu Dragon, raising his head and chanting loudly.
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon spat out his natal dragon ball, and the shadow of the Ancestral Dragon stretched out its front claws and made a golden mark on it.
"The Myriad Sea Seal... I see." At the bottom of the North Sea, the Cangming Dragon King sighed and shook his head, saying, "If the Jade Dragon Lord wants to betray the Nine Mountains in the future, the price will be high."
"oh?"
"This is the rule written into the blood of the Dragon Ancestor, and it is also the reason why the Wanhai Seal can control us."
The Dragon King of Cangming didn't know whether he couldn't explain it clearly or was afraid, so he spoke unclearly.
But the Golden-Winged Dapeng also understood that the oath of the Jade Dragon Lord had probably tied himself and the Jiushan Sect together.
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon took back the dragon ball, held the jade book in his hand, and presented it to Zheng Fa.
This jade book is the map of Xuanwei Sea.
Zheng Fa took the jade book and responded, "The golden talisman grants you a profound position, and the vast ocean is entrusted with your command. May you become the pillar of the sect and forever pacify the vast ocean."
After saying this, he handed a golden talisman that could mobilize the ocean's magnetic field formation to the Jade Dragon Lord and said, "I only hope that we will never let each other down, generation after generation."
The Jade Dragon Lord held the golden talisman to his chest and nodded, saying, "For generations to come, we will never let each other down."
The Cangming Dragon King watched this scene in silence for a long time, then turned to the Golden-Winged Dapeng and said, "You just watch?"
The Golden-winged Roc was silent for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Now that the Nine Mountains Sect and the Jade Dragon Lord are together, no one but a Golden Immortal can defeat them in the sea."
“…”
"We already had high hopes for the Jiushan Sect, but we didn't expect it to be too late. The Jiushan Sect has already become a powerful force."
After hearing this, even the Dragon King of Cangming could not find a word to blame.
Do these people from Beizhou underestimate the Jiushan Sect?
Not really.
The Golden-Winged Roc is by no means a weakling. Before the Golden Immortal appears, he can be considered one of the strongest people in Xuanwei.
But he still suffered a loss at the hands of Jiushan Sect and broke the treasure bottle.
"So, there's nothing we can do about them?"
"You should guard the North Sea first and wait..."
"Wait?" Cangming Dragon King glanced at the wife and children pulling the cart, without saying a word, just thinking, they are waiting, where is Jiushan Sect?
"Jiushan Sect and Dragon Lord will be one family from now on!"
In the Heavenly Palace, Uncle Pang laughed and signaled Xiao Yuying to pour wine for Lord Shuyu Dragon.
"A family?"
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon murmured in her heart, looking at the smiling elders in the hall, feeling quite uncomfortable - she had been a secluded person for many years, and was usually cold and lonely, rarely participating in such banquets.
Or rather, a little panicked.
"Alright, Uncle-Master, let Dragon Lord be at ease." Zheng Fa, sitting aside, shook his head and smiled, "Don't blame Dragon Lord. My uncle-master loves to see the prosperity of Nine Mountains. Today, Dragon Lord is willing to join our Nine Mountains Sect, and he is very happy."
Lord Shuyulong glanced at Uncle Pang and saw that his eyes were bright and his face was flushed. Although he didn't drink much, he looked like he was very drunk and was almost dancing.
She couldn't help but smile and raised her glass to take a sip of wine.
"Since the Dragon Lord has joined my Jiushan Sect, this Huangting Sutra was created by our sect. I hope the Dragon Lord will correct it."
"The Huangting Sutra?"
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon was stunned.
She knew the "Huangting Sutra", a technique that was the culmination of the Jiushan Sect's techniques. Only one thing could prove its status - Zheng Fa was practicing this sutra.
She even vaguely heard Xiao Yuying mention that the "Transformations of Tiangang and Disha" that she cared about so much was only a part of this sutra.
Earlier, she knew that she could inherit the "Huangting Sutra", but she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the sect, Zheng Fa took out the sutra and was even more impatient than her.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Zheng Fa did not explain, but placed the jade tube on a jade tray, and with a flick of his sleeve, the tray slowly flew to the main table of Shuyulong.
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon picked up the jade tube containing the "Huangting Sutra" but was not very excited.
She also admitted that Zheng Fa was very powerful, saying that even Dragon Ancestor was no match for him at the same level.
But on the other hand, she didn't think the Huangting Sutra was suitable for her. This wasn't to underestimate the Jiushan Sect, but rather common sense in the Xuanwei Realm:
The most suitable skills for the demon race and the monster race are the ones inherited in their blood.
To be honest, if the Cangming Dragon King was willing to pass on to her the method of the Dragon Ancestor to achieve the Golden Immortal, it is not certain what she would choose.
Of course, she was quite grateful for Zheng Fa's trust in passing on the fundamental method of "Huangting Jing" to her so generously.
Lord Shuyulong smiled and nodded at Zheng Fa, then began to read the Huangting Sutra with a bit of nonchalance.
As she read, her breathing gradually became rapid, and she suddenly looked up and glanced at Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa was still smiling, seemingly not noticing her excitement.
Lord Shuyulong lowered his head again, with an extremely serious expression, and continued to comprehend the "Huangting Sutra".
After a long time, she slowly raised her head and said in a complicated tone: "This kind of martial arts, Master..."
Zheng Fa chuckled and said, "Didn't Master Uncle say that? We're family."
Upon hearing this, Lord Shuyu Dragon pursed his lips slightly, and when he heard these three words again, the feeling in his heart was completely different. The slight bit of unwillingness in his heart also disappeared without a trace.
Zheng Fa spoke again, "Dragon Lord, can you practice this technique?"
He has always been curious about this. The Dao Fruit of the Xuanwei Realm is very special. It can be said that the Dao Fruit is the martial arts method itself. It is probably not easy to change the martial arts method at will.
"Other techniques are difficult, but the Huangting Sutra... I think it's possible."
"Why don't other techniques work?"
"Because they conflict with each other," explained the Jade Dragon Lord. "The Dao Fruit contains internal techniques. If you rashly practice another family's techniques, you will reshape yourself, or even turn yourself into someone else. Therefore, you must be extremely cautious and can only refer to them at most."
"But the Huangting Sutra doesn't seem to conflict with any other techniques. At least it can complement my dragon bloodline heritage."
Zheng Fa finally understood what was going on. To put it bluntly, it was a compatibility issue.
The "Huangting Jing" integrates the three methods and places great emphasis on changes. It can be said that it is compatible with most of the mysterious and subtle exercises.
"I can even feel that... this Huangting Sutra is more profound and fundamental than the inheritance of my dragon clan."
When saying this, Lord Shuyu Dragon spoke in a low voice, as if he was reluctant to admit it.
Zheng Fa nodded slightly. The evaluation of Lord Shuyu Dragon was probably sincere. The Jiushan Sect should be proud enough to be evaluated like this by a true immortal dragon.
"In fact, I just saw the hope of repairing the Wanhai Seal."
"Repair the Wanhai Seal?"
No wonder the Dragon Lord is so excited.
"Yes, there's a way to kill me." The Jade Dragon Lord nodded and said, "If we use the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to refine the Myriad Sea Seal, perhaps we can restore its divine power."
This sounds somewhat similar to the way the Jiushan Sect dealt with the Zhuxian Formation Diagram.
"Master."
"Um?"
"Aren't you afraid that I can practice the Huangting Sutra faster than you?"
Lord Shuyu Dragon suddenly asked, his tone quite serious.
This is a major feature of Xuanwei Taoism - the strongest practitioner of the technique has great influence on those who practice it, and can even control them.
"The Dragon Lord can clearly see that the Huangting Sutra is different."
"In essence, if someone becomes stronger in cultivation, it will only bring more insights to other practitioners, but it cannot completely monopolize this practice."
The Jade Dragon Lord fell silent.
"So, if the Dragon Lord is stronger than me, I'd be happy to see it happen."
The Jade Dragon Lord shook his head slightly, as if he was feeling emotional, but he didn't know what to say. He just glanced at Xiao Yuying and said softly, "No wonder my disciple..."
"Actually, I'm not without selfish motives," Zheng Fa said frankly. "You've seen it, Dragon Lord. There are quite a few people eyeing this sea area covetously."
"Before, besides the Cangming Dragon King and the Golden-winged Dapeng, there were several Dao Fruits hiding in the dark. It was unknown whether they were enemies or friends."
This was detected by the Thick Earth Magnetic Array.
But Zheng Fa was not 100% confident that this Yuanci formation could find all the people in the dark.
"If the Dragon Lord achieves success in the Huangting Sutra, it will not only improve the Huangting Sutra, but also enhance the strength of our Nine Mountains Sect." Zheng Fa said to the Shuyu Dragon Lord, "If the Nine Mountains Sect becomes weak and destroyed due to selfish thoughts and fear of the Dragon Lord, I will regret it deeply. I hope the Dragon Lord will not be so rigid."
The Shuyu Dragon Lord thought for a moment, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your generous gift, Master. Shuyu will definitely live up to your trust."
"Actually, there is one thing I do want to ask you, Dragon Lord."
"Master, please speak."
"How do you achieve the Dao fruit?"
