Just as Jiang Ziya was bewildered and at a loss, he was driven out of the West Sea by Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea.
In the Sihai Tongbao Pavilion caravan, Shen Gongbao was carefully examining a seal that was entirely emerald green, with a five-clawed jade dragon coiled around the knob and the four ancient seal characters "Tongyu Wanshui" (Commanding All Waters) engraved on the bottom.
Beside him, Ao Bing smiled and introduced Shen Gongbao:
"This is the Seal of the Four Seas!"
"This seal was jointly forged by the four Dragon Kings of the East, West, South, North and South Seas using their own life-bound dragon energy. It is the highest-ranking seal in the Four Seas Dragon Palace besides the Dragon King's Seal. Holding the Four Seas Seal allows one to command the aquatic creatures within a hundred miles of the sea. When activated, the dragon patterns float in the air, and the aquatic creatures who see it will feel as if the Dragon King himself has arrived."
Ao Bing's introduction was very simple.
But Shen Gongbao knew exactly what Ao Bing's words meant.
This is the greatest authority under the Four Seas Dragon Kings. With just this Four Seas Seal, Shen Gongbao can command the aquatic creatures of the four seas.
Such an identity seal is not something that everyone, even among the many princes of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, can possess.
Shen Gongbao never expected Ao Bing to give him such a gift.
Turning to look at Ao Bing, Shen Gongbao's gaze was complex:
"This Four Seas Seal should be your symbol of status as the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace, right? Now that you've given it to me, aren't you afraid that when you return to the East Sea Dragon Palace, your father will strip you of your title as the Third Prince?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Bing scratched his head and gave an awkward smile:
"Don't worry about that. Before handing over the Seal of the Four Seas to you, I had already sent a message to my father. If he hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have dared to give it to you on my own."
As he spoke, Ao Bing pointed excitedly at the Four Seas Seal in Shen Gongbao's hand:
“Fellow Daoist Shen, don’t underestimate this Four Seas Seal. It’s not just a symbol of status. I observed Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao’s cultivation before, and it seems that you have awakened my dragon bloodline. If you want this dragon bloodline to continue to grow stronger, you must constantly stimulate it with dragon-attribute treasures. Among them, the innate dragon energy of the Four Seas Dragon Kings is the highest-level dragon-attribute treasure. With this Four Seas Seal, I believe that you will definitely be able to transform from mortal to dragon at the fastest speed.”
Looking at Ao Bing's excited face, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but chuckle.
I have never underestimated your prestigious title of "Imperial Seal of the Four Seas".
On the contrary, you probably haven't realized what this seal of honor truly means.
Although the natal dragon energy of the Four Seas Dragon Kings is rare, it is nothing compared to the symbolic significance of the Four Seas Seal itself.
Of course, Shen Gongbao could understand why Ao Bing felt that the dragon energy of the Four Seas Dragon Kings in the Four Seas Seal was more useful to him. After all, Ao Bing was born as the third prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and whether or not he had the Four Seas Seal, the respect of the aquatic creatures of the Dragon Palace for him would not change much.
But for non-dragon beings like Shen Gongbao, it's a completely different story.
Commanding the aquatic creatures within a hundred miles of the sea, the dragon pattern floats in the air when activated. When the aquatic creatures see it, it is as if they see the Dragon King himself. What does this mean?
This means that Shen Gongbao can use the Four Seas Seal to force and command ordinary aquatic creatures.
Even if he encounters those powerful dragon palace aquatic creatures, Shen Gongbao can use the Four Seas Seal to ask them for help.
With the effect of aquatic creatures seeing him as if the Dragon King himself were present, Shen Gongbao believed that even if he encountered a senior member of the Dragon Clan, they would still give him some face and offer assistance.
This directly gave him a treatment second only to the Four Seas Dragon King within the Four Seas Dragon Palace.
Although it is no longer the era when the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans stood in a tripartite balance, as the saying goes, even a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In this primordial world, the dragon clan is still one of the most outstanding forces among the many first-class powers.
How could I resist such temptation?
Therefore, Shen Gongbao thanked Ao Bing without hesitation:
"Then Shen Gongbao thanks Fellow Daoist Ao Bing very much!"
"Haha, as long as Fellow Daoist Shen doesn't mind!"
Seeing that Shen Gongbao accepted his kindness, Ao Bing immediately burst into laughter:
“These past few days, if it weren’t for Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao’s repeated rescues, everyone from the Four Seas Treasure Pavilion would probably be dead by now. How can such a life-saving grace be measured by material things? This Four Seas Seal is just a small token of our Four Seas Treasure Pavilion’s appreciation. As long as Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao is happy with it, no matter how much we give, it’s all worth it.”
As he spoke, Ao Bing took out another item and placed it in front of Shen Gongbao:
"This is my Dragon Palace's secret technique, the Dragon Transformation Technique. With this technique, you can quickly strengthen your dragon bloodline and transform from mortal to dragon as soon as possible. Since you have broken through your cultivation today, I will do you a favor and give you the Dragon Transformation Technique as well!"
Although it was Ao Bing who suggested that Xie Hengjiang apologize to Shen Gongbao, after that, more and more cultivators from the Sihai Tongbao Pavilion caravan apologized to Shen Gongbao, and the treasures they gave him became more and more valuable.
This gave Ao Bing a bit of a headache.
He was keen to befriend Shen Gongbao, so the gifts he gave him were naturally not on the same level as those given to others.
Otherwise, how can his sincerity be demonstrated?
With gritted teeth, after obtaining the consent of his father, the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, he directly sent out the Seal of the Four Seas.
Now, Ao Bingyou was still not satisfied, so he raised the stakes again and offered the Dragon Clan's secret technique, the Dragon Transformation Technique.
Shen Gongbao was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the Dragon Transformation Technique in front of him.
If the core technique of the Chan Sect is the Jade Purity True Technique, then the core technique of the Four Seas Dragon Palace is undoubtedly the Dragon Transformation Technique.
The existence of the Dragon Transformation Technique ensures a continuous stream of new blood for the dragon race, while also allowing existing dragons to continuously purify their bloodlines and move closer to the direction of the Ancestral Dragon.
Any faction would absolutely treasure something like the Dragon Transformation Technique, and each level of its cultivation method would require countless sect contributions to exchange for.
But now, Ao Bing simply placed the complete Dragon Transformation Technique right in front of him.
Looking at Ao Bing, who seemed both sincere and somewhat naive, Shen Gongbao wanted to remind him that this kind of cultivation technique wasn't meant to be used to bribe people.
But only an idiot would refuse something that's offered to him for free.
Shen Gongbao finally couldn't resist his desire and stuffed the Dragon Transformation Technique into his pocket.
Feeling his rounded chest, Shen Gongbao sighed deeply and said:
"Since the Third Prince is so generous, then I, Shen Gongbao, will not hold back either. I happen to have a suspicious person here, who should be the person in charge of this attack on your Sihai Tongbao Pavilion. As for how much information he can find out, that depends on your own abilities."
Shen Gongbao originally didn't intend to reveal the situation of the Long-Browed Immortal so soon, but the Four Seas Dragon Palace had given him so much.
Ao Bing didn't know the true value of the Four Seas Seal, but Ao Guang, as the Dragon King of the East Sea, couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
Now that he has not only obtained the Four Seas Seal, but also the Dragon Transformation Technique, if he doesn't give up something more substantial, others will think he is greedy.
