After this seashell appeared, other strange occurrences followed.
On the distant horizon, on the water's surface, and in the seabed, countless demons gradually gathered, heading towards a common destination.
These demons came in various shapes and sizes; some traveled discreetly, while others sang and danced.
"What major event has occurred?"
Ah Jiang hid behind a tree, carefully watching everything outside.
The magic was used to summon the Magikarp back and put it into the spirit beast pouch. These demons didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, so it was best to be cautious.
Suddenly, a high-pitched dragon roar resounded from afar, causing A-Jiang's blood and qi to surge.
Just as the long, drawn-out dragon roar ended, a dragon roar echoed back from the seabed.
Fifteen minutes later, the sea surface churned and waves rose two or three meters high.
The sky was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, the wind and clouds were changing, and a giant beast could be vaguely seen leaping in the dark clouds.
A Jiang's clothes were soaked by the sudden storm. Before he could even cast a spell to tidy himself up, he saw a huge dragon burst out of the water and fly into the sky.
This is a purplish-black dragon with a single horn on its head. It has a dragon's head and a snake's body, and is enormous in size. Its appearance is quite ferocious, and it is definitely a terrifying being that can frighten children.
It shot straight into the sky, circled three times, and then dived into the sea, to an unknown depth.
Wave after wave crashed over the island, submerging most of it and destroying much of the vegetation.
This time, Ajahn finally had time to defend herself, but she suddenly found herself becoming conspicuous.
Just as she was about to retreat back to the lotus world, she was patted on the shoulder.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
A tall, humanoid creature stood before me.
It is about 1.8 meters tall, with facial features similar to humans, and looks quite heroic.
However, there are purplish-black fine scales on her hairline, cheeks, and sides of her neck and forehead, and her pupils are also vertical lines. If you were to suddenly look at her in the dark, she would definitely be able to scare half your soul.
A-Jiang was startled. It easily passed through her defensive magic artifact and touched her. Her three-centimeter-long fingernail was only a finger's width away from her neck.
Ah Jiang was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not move or speak.
After a closer look, it was wearing a long black and purple dress, and had a not-so-obvious protrusion on its chest, so it should be a female demon.
That color... could it be that dragon from before? What level of monster is this?!
Why aren't you saying anything?
Its voice was pleasant to the ear, and there was no obvious malice in it.
"I, I am A-Jiang, I am..."
"Oh, it's Ah Jiang! You must also be going to the Dragon Palace for the banquet, right? We can go together!"
As she spoke, she raised her arm and encircled A-Jiang, who was much shorter than her and hid in the sleeve of her robe, almost covering her body.
You're so outgoing, do your family know that...?
Ah Jiang thought to himself, but could only smile and say, "I'm just passing by. I'm leaving now."
"Oh, I see, you didn't have an invitation, right?"
The demon moved aside slightly and looked A-Jiang up and down: "Your cultivation is a bit weak, but I can see that your bloodline is actually very strong, and these antlers are also very cute."
...
"Let's go, let's go together. I don't have any good friends in Beihai. Seeing you makes me feel very close to you. I'll take you to play. Haven't you seen the Dragon Palace yet? The East Sea Dragon Palace is very beautiful. Moreover, it's a big event for the aquatic tribes. The eleventh son of the East Sea Dragon King has become a true dragon."
"A true dragon?"
Ajahn was astonished. What kind of world was this?
The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, with its dragon princes and princesses, Ah Jiang looked around and saw only the vast, boundless sea.
"Generally speaking, after a snake cultivates to become a spirit, it takes another thousand years to become a jiao (a type of dragon), a jiao takes five hundred years to become a dragon, a dragon takes one thousand and five hundred years to become a true dragon, and a true dragon takes five thousand years to become an yinglong (another type of dragon). The eleventh son of the East Sea Dragon King is only over nine hundred years old, which is younger than me, but he was born with a dragon body and has already become a true dragon in less than a thousand years."
"That sounds really impressive."
"Yes, we are all related by blood in the Four Seas Dragon Clan. You could call him cousin. For such an important celebration, I had to travel all this way to come."
"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Wei Jiao, and I've been cultivating for... uh, over a thousand years. My father is the sixth son of the North Sea Dragon King, who was named the Qinghai Lake Dragon King, and my mother is the South Sea Dragon Princess. We live near Qinghai Lake. It's not a very big place, but it's very interesting. I'll take you there sometime."
Wei Jiao put his arm around A Jiang's shoulder and walked forward.
A-Jiang's heart stirred. This demon looked quite powerful. He wondered if it would be willing to become his summoned beast.
So he followed her and walked into the sea.
Wei Jiao took good care of her and specially gave her a water-repelling bead, which allowed A Jiang to move freely underwater.
They chatted and laughed all the way, and A-Jiang had already gotten to know Wei Jiao quite well.
This demon is completely guileless and speaks her mind. Those she finds agreeable are friends, and they eat, drink, and have fun together. Those she doesn't find agreeable, no matter how many years she's known them, are simply not close.
Another half hour passed, and the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the East Sea came into view in the distance.
The Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the East Sea is the most dazzling and luxurious in the entire sea. The dragons love gold and jade, and the entire Crystal Palace was made to be beautiful and dazzling. Fortunately, it is located in the deep sea. If its light could shine into the eyes of humans, it would surely attract countless people.
A fondness for collecting gold and silver jewelry is one of the commonalities between humans and dragons.
The Crystal Palace is located in the deep sea where no light can be seen. The entire building emits a soft light and is surrounded by various fluorescent plants. Colorful sea creatures swim and play inside. This dragon palace is in a very good location with abundant spiritual energy. Cultivation here is much faster than in other places.
