Under the Su Shui River near the Tongtian River, Gao Tianming, his wife Xia Qiu and the God of Su Shui were coming out of their water palace. Du Guangtong, as the God of Su Shui, was very polite to Gao Tianming in his own territory. Although they called each other good brothers, he obviously put himself in a lower position.
"Brother Gao, I'm really happy that you can come to my Sushui first to join me in going to the Dragon Palace. Brother Gao is highly valued by the Dragon King, and His Highness Yingfeng also likes to visit you. I heard that His Highness Yingfeng personally invited you to the Dragon Transformation Feast this time?"
"Haha, Brother Du, His Highness Ying Feng just passed by my Tianshui Lake and asked me to arrive earlier. By the way, your water palace is more comfortable than my lake. There are not so many messy things."
Gao Tianming was talking happily while Xia Qiu was standing beside him with a smile. There were two beautiful ladies standing beside Du Guangtong but they only dared to stand one step behind Du Guangtong.
"Hahaha, of course, Brother Gao. After all, I am also a Sushui who lives under the feet of the Dragon King. How could there be any mess? But this time, Queen Ying has transformed into a dragon, so many old brothers can gather together. I heard that those overseas will come too!"
"Hahahaha... I heard about it. His Highness Ying Feng told me a long time ago that he had prepared a special seat for us. It's in a corner of the main hall of the Hualong Banquet!"
"oh?"
Gao Tianming's eyes lit up and he looked at Du Guangtong with surprise.
"A corner of the main hall? Are you serious?"
"Hahahaha, how could it be false? I thought we wouldn't be able to visit the main palace this time, but now it seems His Highness Ying Feng is still taking care of us!"
"That's right, hahahaha, come on, come on, we should go over there early, maybe we can help!"
The two of them talked and laughed as they left Su Shui's water palace, and they were looking forward to the Dragon Transformation Banquet.
The transformation of the Jiaolong into a real dragon is a grand event for all the sea creatures in the four seas. Countless guests come, and even many Dragon Kings from all over the four seas will come in person. Even if they can't come, they will send the Dragon Prince and others to come in their place. To be honest, being able to occupy a corner in the main hall is already a great honor.
As soon as the two of them came out of the Su Shui and approached the Tongtian River, they saw many aquatic creatures swimming in the river, and many of them had extremely strong vital energy.
"Wow, it's really lively!"
Du Guangtong looked ahead, suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Gao Tianming.
"Hey? Brother Gao? I heard from His Highness Ying Feng that you are quite familiar with Mr. Ji. Did you know that Mr. Ji was coming this time?"
Gao Tianming nodded to Du Guangtong.
"Ha, it depends on what you said. Mr. Ji and Lord Long are close friends. And don't forget how Empress Ying became a dragon. How can Mr. Ji not come when Empress Ying turns into a dragon?"
"You're right? You're right? Find a chance to talk to Mr. Ji again."
"Huh? Brother Du and Mr. Ji also know each other?"
Hearing Gao Tianming ask this, Du Guangtong also smiled.
"Know her? Back then, on this Sushui River, Mr. Ji used the Soul Binding Technique to find me. I met a powerful fox demon at that time. Her name was Tu Siyan. She was a demon from the Jade Fox Cave Heaven. She was able to use tricks to escape from Mr. Ji. It was really amazing. I was not able to help you that time. I am very ashamed!"
"Oh, there is another scene. By the way, are you ready, Brother Du?"
Gao Tianming nodded in understanding, and suddenly changed the subject. Du Guangtong regained his serious expression and nodded.
"Of course I am ready. I believe the others are the same. It depends on Lord Long and Lady Ying."
"Um!"
Gao Tianming and Du Guangtong stood at the junction of the Su River and the Tongtian River, looking at the Su River merging into the Tongtian River. It seemed that what they saw was not just the confluence of water, but also the direction of the rolling trend.
While they were talking, many water creatures swam past them from the Su Shui behind them. When they were heading towards Tongtian River, some water creatures recognized Du Guangtong and would stop briefly to greet him before leaving.
On the other hand, in the direction of Tongtian River, big fish and even big dragons would swim underwater from time to time, and they would often look towards Du Guangtong, Gao Tianming and others who were standing in the direction of Su Shui.
"Let's go." "Please!"
As soon as they entered the Tongtian River, Du Guangtong, Gao Tianming and others immediately revealed their true forms, stirred the water at the bottom of the river, moved forward together, and merged into the group of the vast aquatic creatures.
There were endless aquatic creatures at the bottom of the river, but the waves on the surface seemed very calm, and there were also passing ships of Dazhen sailing.
Among them, there was a large ship anchored at the port of Gyeonggi Prefecture on the Tongtian River. Porters were constantly loading goods from the port onto the ship, including gold and silver jewelry, antiques and curios. There were also officials on the ship holding notebooks and pens, writing down things one by one.
"Sir, where are we going to send this shipload of treasures?"
The official in charge of recording just smiled and meticulously recorded every detail of the goods that were moved up, while a more familiar and trusted subordinate nearby came over and asked carefully, as the brothers had been curious for too long.
"Well, I have no comment. But if you are on board the ship, you will see them. There will be several important people going with them. Now, go and do your work. Make sure the cargo in the cabin is neatly stacked and check the protection measures for each piece of porcelain."
"yes!"
'It's so mysterious, I don't know what it is.'
The official scratched his head and walked towards the cabin. At this moment, Ji Yuan was flying through the sky on a cloud. He looked down at the Dazhen official ship and smiled.
Hu Yun was looking left and right, up and down with excitement on his face. When he saw Ji Yuan smiling, he quickly asked.
"Mr. Ji, what are you laughing at? Are you looking at the big ship below?"
"Yes, sometimes even I forget that Dazhen has reached the time to participate in such a grand event. The ship of Dazhen is full of treasures. Gold and silver are nothing, but those cultural relics even make me excited."
Hu Yun nodded.
"So powerful, are they going to send them to the Dragon Palace?"
Xiezhi glanced at Hu Yun sideways. He thought he would ask Ji Yuan where the boat was going, but he unexpectedly figured it out in one go.
"Let's go, it's scary underwater."
Ji Yuan smiled, looked at Hu Yun and then at Zao Niang who had been playing with the fan, then he began to descend on the magic cloud. In Ji Yuan's eyes, the water energy of the entire Tongtian River below was so abundant that it had exaggeratedly spread to the sky.
In fact, Ji Yuan was not the only one who looked down at the river. In the Tongtian River, there was an old dragon over a hundred feet long swimming at the bottom of the river, with several dragons following beside and behind him. When Ji Yuan's magic cloud passed by, the old dragon also looked up and vaguely saw the moving clouds in the sky through the surface of the river.
Now the whole Dazhen is cloudy but not raining, and a Dharma cloud is still very conspicuous. Even though the Dharma cloud is moving, no spell can be felt, so it must be the seat of a master.
"boom… "
There was a slight sound of entering the water, which did not cause any splashes but brought up waves. Ji Yuan and the others had already entered the water. As far as their sight could be seen, there were aquatic creatures moving around. Waves of terrifying aquatic evil spirits seemed to appear out of nowhere, and it seemed as if they were going to suffocate Hu Yun in the water.
'No, I really can't breathe!'
Hu Yun covered his mouth with his hands. He didn't know how to control water, and the river current was sweeping around him, making it impossible for him to breathe. The terrifying evil spirit and oppressive force in the water were like a mountain, making it difficult for him to even hold his breath.
"Wooooooa ...
Ji Yuan frowned and looked at Xiezhi, who chuckled and patted Hu Yun on the head. Suddenly, water flashed on Hu Yun's body, as if he had an extra scuba tank and could breathe freely.
Xiezhi did not feel guilty at all for deliberately removing Ji Yuan's water-avoiding method from Hu Yun.
"I am doing this to let him feel the evil spirit in the water."
Hu Yun kept taking deep breaths, but he didn't dare to scold Xiezhi. He just moved closer to Zao Niang.
Zao Niang had already put away the folding fan in her hand and hid it where she would not be discovered, while Ji Yuan walked on a wave of water and headed towards the Dragon Palace in the distance.
Their depth is relatively close to the river surface, and close to the river bottom there are countless aquatic creatures lining up to swim towards the Dragon Palace. Even though most of them have no place in the Dragon Palace during the Dragon Transformation Banquet, they still need to pay a visit. However, most of them are not qualified when the banquet starts and can only pay a visit before the banquet.
Zao Niang looked at the many water creatures below slowly moving forward, with countless of them looking up at them, and she couldn't help but worry.
"Mr. Ji, don't we have to queue?"
There's no need to be too pedantic.
"We don't need it. Look, our pick-up people are here."
There was already a Yaksha walking on the water coming ahead.
"Greetings, Mr. Ji and everyone else!"
After bowing, the two Yakshas stretched out their hands and led the way to the Dragon Palace behind.
"Please follow us to the Dragon Palace."
A Yaksha led Ji Yuan and others to the Dragon Palace, and a Yaksha led a beam of light ahead. The aquatic creatures below were already accustomed to this scene. Those who dared to walk on the water at this time were not ordinary people.
The entire Dragon Palace was ablaze with jewels and precious stones at this moment, dazzling everyone. Hu Yun was extremely excited. Even a quiet girl like Zao Niang looked around curiously. Even Xiezhi was quite curious.
"It is indeed a skill to become a real dragon, but what does it have to do with other aquatic insects? It is just a grand event that everyone comes to participate."
The Yaksha who was following Ji Yuan's face immediately changed, and he looked at Xiezhi with an unfriendly look, but he didn't dare to attack directly because Ji Yuan was beside him.
"Mr. Ji, this is..."
"Oh, this guy has a problem here. Please forgive me, Yasha. Ji will keep an eye on him."
Ji Yuan pointed to his head, and Xiezhi's eyebrows jumped, but he didn't say anything. Yaksha bowed to Ji Yuan and said "I dare not" repeatedly, but he still looked at Xiezhi with a bad look before concentrating on leading the way.
When Ji Yuan entered the Dragon Palace, Ying Hong, who was entertaining several old men with horns on their foreheads in the main hall, looked outside the hall and saw Ji Yuan coming with the light of the Yaksha. He stood up and said to the Dragon Kings around him with a smile.
"Everyone, my good friend is here, I have to excuse myself for now."
"Okay, Lord Yinglong, go ahead." "Nothing, go quickly."
"Excuse me, excuse me!"
The old dragon bowed again and again, then walked out of the main hall quickly, stepping on a stream of water to meet Ji Yuan. His voice arrived before he did.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Ji just arrived today. I thought you were not coming. Quickly follow me into the main hall!"
When the old dragon came closer, he and Ji Yuan exchanged greetings. His eyes swept over Hu Yun, looked intently at Zao Niang, and then fell on the Xiezhi. Then he waved his sleeves, and the Yaksha who had been leading the way retreated.
"This person looks very unfamiliar."
"Hey, I've seen you!"
Xiezhi answered with a smile on his face, feeling no pressure at all in front of Lao Long, which made Lao Long narrow his eyes, but then he smiled and extended his hand to invite him.
"please!"
When everyone was leaving, Lao Long deliberately walked to a place with Ji Yuan, and the latter naturally came closer to transmit the message.
"This person is the transformation of the Xiezhi scroll."
"Hmm? You're already that smart?"
Ji Yuan nodded slightly, and Lao Long understood what he meant.
