Lu Xuan arrived at the Azure Scale Water Mansion a short while later and finally met Xuan Guizi.
"Fellow Daoist Prime Minister Turtle, how have you been?" Lu Xuan said with a hearty laugh.
Xuan Guizi walked over and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you must have important business to attend to at our Water Palace. Why don't you come with me to see our Azure Dragon King!"
"Alright." Lu Xuan followed the Xuan Gui Zi's suggestion and went into the Water Palace, which was filled with halls and pavilions of all sizes.
Before him stood a colossal palace, and Xuan Guizi stopped.
"This is the Azure Dragon King's Palace of our Azure Scale Water Mansion."
"Well, thank you for leading the way, Fellow Daoist Xuan Guizi. These are some treasures abundant in our Jiuli Sea region, which I'll give to you as a gift. These are rare finds in the deep sea. I'm sure you'll like these island treasures, Prime Minister Gui!"
Xuan Guizi accepted a high-level storage bag from Lu Xuan. Inside, there were indeed many treasures unseen in the deep sea, such as spirit fruits, spirit tea, and materials for refining treasures that could only be found on some islands...
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu. Please come with me to meet Lord Azure Dragon King! He has lived for over three thousand years. He is very kind and has never been hostile to you human cultivators. I hope you can accomplish your purpose on this trip."
After bringing Lu Xuan into the palace.
After Xuan Guizi took his leave, he departed.
At this moment, a small, azure humanoid dragon at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage suddenly appeared and attacked Lu Xuan.
With a "bang".
The two exchanged blows dozens of times in an instant.
"A peak second-tier body cultivator! Such formidable strength! What unparalleled body cultivation technique are you practicing, human cultivator? Could it be one of the legendary Ten Great Body Cultivation Techniques of the Endless Seas?!"
"Who are you?" Lu Xuan asked, looking at the small azure dragon in front of him. The other party was only at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and was obviously not the Azure Scaled Dragon King he was looking for.
At this moment, an old man's voice came:
"Jiao'er, don't be rude! Get out of here at once! You've offended this distinguished human guest, or I'll punish you by making you face the wall at the bottom of the sea!"
Upon hearing this, the little blue dragon was startled and took its leave.
Then an old man in a green robe appeared. He looked completely transformed and looked exactly like a human, except that he had two green horns on his head.
A golden crown, a dragon robe—yes, this is the Azure Scaled Dragon King he's been searching for.
The old man sat on the throne above and said calmly to Lu Xuan:
"I heard from Xuan Guizi that you plan to integrate those scattered small sea areas near the Jiuli Sea?"
“That’s right. Senior Azure Dragon King, I plan to merge those scattered small sea areas into a medium-sized sea area, and I will no longer attack the aquatic creatures of your Azure Scale Water Palace.”
"Well, that's good. This is beneficial to our Azure Scale Water Palace. After all, we Nascent Soul demon cultivators have long made an agreement with your human race's powerful figures not to interfere. Otherwise, my aquatic creatures wouldn't have been killed by your few Core Formation cultivators from small sea areas."
"What about the other smaller sea areas? Why don't they attack your aquatic creatures?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Young friend, don't you know? By the way, you're only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, so it's normal that you don't know."
"Except for the few small sea areas where you are, all other sea areas belong to the Tiansheng Sea Domain."
"And the Heavenly Saint Sea is one of the ten major sea areas of your Endless Sea Immortal Cultivation World's human race! You should know that."
"Of course I know that, but I don't understand why the Heavenly Saint Sea Region doesn't care about those smaller sea regions of the Nine Li Sea Region, leaving them scattered and not belonging to any large sea region?"
Hearing Lu Xuan's confusion, the Azure Dragon King nodded and said:
"It's good that you can think of this. You'll understand when you reach the Core Formation stage."
Have you ever heard of the Ancient Demon Clan?
Are there ancient demons here too?
Hearing the Azure Dragon King's words, Lu Xuan was also startled.
Even after coming all the way to the Endless Sea Immortal Cultivation World, is it still impossible to escape this ancient demon?
"I would be very grateful if you could enlighten me, senior."
"It's alright. You'll find out sooner or later anyway. Since you're planning to help our Qinglin Water Mansion aquatic tribe, I can do you a favor today and tell you about this ancient demon and the secrets of your Jiuli Sea and other scattered small sea areas."
"About ten thousand years ago, a group of ancient demons came from somewhere, and each of them had reached the Nascent Soul realm."
It was only through the combined efforts of our sea race and dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators from your human race that we were able to kill them.
"Afterwards, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators from both of our races perished, and now there are very few Nascent Soul cultivators left from both of our races!"
"Could it be that those ancient demons originated from our few small sea areas?"
"Young friend, you are indeed clever. That's right. Back then, those Nascent Soul cultivators found the extraterrestrial passage where the ancient demon appeared between several small sea areas in the Nine Li Sea and the Netherworld Sea!"
Then, those Nascent Soul cultivators used their great supernatural powers to pass through the outer passage and were so frightened that they turned pale and retreated back to the Endless Sea.
It turned out that on the other side of the celestial passage, they saw countless ancient demons.
They were simply not someone that a few cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage could handle.
So they quickly set up a Four Symbols Isolation Array, using Jiuli Island, Youming Island, Jinguang Island, and Tianhe Island as the array's cores!
This sealed the entrance to the ancient demon!
Otherwise, their Endless Sea would have been destroyed by the ancient demons long ago.
"Thank you so much, senior, for revealing so many secrets of the cultivation world to me." Lu Xuan clasped his hands in thanks.
"I have come here with a request!"
"Young friend, please speak. As I just mentioned, I can do something for you!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan explained the purpose of his visit to the Azure Scale Water Mansion.
"Refine magical artifacts!"
"Yes, I can indeed refine magical artifacts, because I possess a natural supernatural ability called Azure Scale Flood Dragon Fire! I can help you try refining a high-grade magical artifact!"
It turns out that the demon beast race doesn't like to use magic weapons, so the Azure Scaled Flood Dragon King had only ever crafted a few magic weapons for a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Heavenly Saint Sea.
"Alright, thank you very much, senior. Here are the materials I prepared!"
After saying that, Lu Xuan took out the Sea-Suppressing Pearl and a pile of top-quality materials.
"Suppressing Sea Pearl, I suspect you want to upgrade this naturally formed magic treasure by several grades, right? That's actually a good idea!"
