The palace pillars were made of purple gold and were surrounded by coiled dragons. The glazed vaults were inlaid with spiritual beads. The dragon's descendants, monks, and gods from all sides, all dressed in luxurious clothes, stood with their hands clasped in front of their heads. The palace servants inside and outside the palace knelt down in large numbers.
Fang Xiu stood in front of the palace gate, looking at Fu Guang, who looked somewhat similar to the old Dragon King Fu Tu.
The old horse had been cautious throughout his life, due to his humble birth. It was only when he met himself passing by a river that he was transformed into a dragon. Therefore, he lacked the courage and spirit to accomplish great things. Finally, he died in a major change in Dongzhou.
But his son is completely different from him. He was born as a dragon. He was the son of the Dragon King when he was born. He is a rare Lihe god in his father's world. He has the aura of a god who can swallow mountains and rivers and hold the universe, the sun and the moon in his hands.
At that time, Fang Xiu wanted to support Fu Tu to be one of the masters of the four seas in the future and perfect the reincarnation order of heaven and earth. Later, he gave up because of his disappointment. Now thinking about it, it was a bit harsh. He didn't expect that his son was such a character and had the potential to be a god.
Fang Xiu thought of the old horse and was lost in memories. "Every generation has its own talents. You can be said to be a disciple who is better than your master. I'm afraid Fu Tu never thought that one day his son would be able to rule the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and the vast sea area of the East China Sea."
If someone else said so, Fu Guang would definitely get angry on the spot, but the person in front of him was different. Even though Fu Guang was the Dragon King of the East China Sea, respected by all the seas and in control of the life and death of billions of lives, in the eyes of those top practitioners, he was still not considered a big shot.
In this world of cultivators and gods, only those who have enough cultivation and magical powers to awe the world can be considered top figures, such as the one from the Great Leiyin Temple in Xizhou, Jia Yi, the founder of Lingshu Mountain, Gai Cang Zhenjun from the overseas Nanhua Fairy Island, and the head ancestor of a first-class Taoist sect in Dongzhou.
If such people are not afraid of the backlash of the merits of heaven and earth, and the worsening tribulations of becoming immortals in the future, they can kill themselves at will.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea, Fu Guang, had long intended to find such a person who was close to being an immortal, and to establish a closer relationship with him, so that he could ensure the security of his position as the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
But the person in front of him is different. Others have embarked on the path to immortality, but this person has already become a true immortal on earth and achieved immortality. As long as he goes through the remaining tribulations, he will be able to ascend to the upper realm immediately.
The only ones in the world who could be compared with him were those ancient gods and demons in the legends who were left over from the ancient times and whose traces were hard to find. They also had a certain connection with his family. When Fu Guang saw the Immortal Lord of Fengdu, he immediately wanted to get closer to him and let the world know that the Immortal Lord of Fengdu had a close relationship with the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.
Fu Guang was wearing a golden dragon robe and a nine-tassel crown. When he heard Fengdu talking about the old Dragon King, his body couldn't help but tremble: "My father often mentioned the Immortal King to me. Even before he passed away, he still missed the Immortal King and told me the legend of the Immortal King in the past..."
At this point, Fu Guang paused: "When talking about my late father, Xiaolong suddenly couldn't help but neglect the Immortal Lord!"
"play music!"
"Please step inside, Immortal Lord!"
As soon as they entered the hall, all the ministers of the Dragon Palace and the cultivators who came to celebrate the birthday shouted in unison. At the Dragon King's invitation, Fang Xiu asked him to sit in the main seat. Fang Xiu shook his head and sat in front of the empty jade table on the left.
There was constant music, singing and dancing, palace maids lined up to go in and out, the delicacies and wine on the table were changed one after another, the cultivators, gods, and celestial demons toasted each other, and even scholars from the Dongzhou Academy were invited to the banquet to recite poems and compose couplets, exotic beauties from Nanzhou performed magic dances, and even young swordsmen from overseas fairy islands danced with swords on the spot, but this caused displeasure among some of the sword cultivators present.
Even though it was already night on the sea outside, the Dragon Palace under the sea was still full of singing and dancing, and was magnificent.
The Dragon Palace Banquet was coming to an end, and the guests had enjoyed themselves and were waiting to go home.
However, before the Dragon King of the East China Sea stood up, Fengdu put down the cup and looked at Fu Guang who was sitting on the throne of the Dragon Palace.
"I have had enough wine. I came here today to bother the Dragon King of the East China Sea."
Fu Guang didn't know why: "Whatever you want to say, please tell me. Xiaolong is listening attentively!"
Fang Xiu laughed: "It's nothing important, but I heard that the Dragon King has three sons and two daughters! They are all talented and beautiful, with deep roots in the Tao, and have the appearance of celestial beings and immortal gods. I wonder if I can see them today!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Dragon Palace hall suddenly became quiet. The East China Sea Dragon King Fu Guang was stunned at first, and then suddenly turned into ecstasy. He didn't even notice that the jade cup on the table had fallen to the ground.
"Your Excellency is overpraising me. How can my son be described as having the appearance of a celestial being or a face of an immortal? It is just a rumor. To be favored by your Excellency is a blessing they have earned through three lifetimes of hard work."
The Dragon King seemed to be so excited that he could hardly contain himself, and his words became hurried: "Please wait a moment, Immortal Lord! I will send my son to the palace right away!"
After saying this, he immediately shouted to a dragon attendant beside him, "Hanxi, Shusheng, Jiaer, and the others, come to the palace, quickly!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Many guests below the stage were also discussing the matter. Some did not quite understand why the Immortal Lord of Fengdu wanted to meet the descendants of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Fu Guang. However, many people who were originally wondering why the Immortal Lord of Fengdu came suddenly realized.
"What is the Immortal Lord of Fengdu going to do? Why does he want to meet a junior?" An old man holding a golden cup and dragging his sleeves over the table asked the person next to him.
"Haven't you figured it out? The Immortal Lord of Fengdu is trying to recruit a disciple! Otherwise, why would he meet the offspring of the Dragon King?" Someone lowered his head and spoke softly, which immediately caused cheers from everyone in the room.
"I heard that after the Immortal King of Fengdu has completed his tribulations, he will ascend to the upper world. Immortals and gods cannot easily step into the mortal world. Is he going to leave his legacy behind before ascending to the upper world?" Many people secretly looked at the shadow sitting at the front of the hall. They wanted to see him but were afraid of attracting his attention. Only when they saw him sitting cross-legged in front of the table with his eyes closed did they dare to whisper.
Although everyone knew that their appearance would definitely be seen by the other party, they still felt a little uneasy in their hearts. At this moment, looking at Fengdu's attitude, they knew that the other party didn't care.
"This East Sea Dragon King is so blessed, so lucky! The supreme immortal lineage of Fengdu Immortal Lord has been passed down to his descendants, which means that his family may produce another immortal! Who will dare to provoke him from now on!"
"That was many years later. The Dragon Palace in the East China Sea was just established. The Immortal Lord Fengdu accepted the son of Dragon King Fu Guang as his disciple. His power must have greatly increased!"
At this time, there was a commotion at the entrance of the side corridor of the palace. Groups of maids came out with a young man, boys and girls, and children. Even the Dragon Queen Ao Li, who had appeared before and then left, came out.
There are three boys and two girls, only one of them is an adult. The dragon race has a long lifespan, and these people are born with first- and second-level strength. Except for Fu Guang’s eldest son, the others have not yet reached adulthood.
As soon as the Dragon King Fu Guang saw people coming out, he immediately walked down from above and brought a few people to Fang Xiu, and they all stood in front of him.
"Come! Xi, Jiaer, Shusheng, Shouer, Shuofang, come here quickly!"
"This is the Immortal Lord of Fengdu, your elder, why don't you quickly pay your respects!"
Several children had heard about it before they came. A fairy who was famous throughout the world and had traveled among the mountains and seas in the wild and undeveloped times had also come to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. His time could be traced back to before the Qingli Dragon Mother who founded the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.
Even in front of their elders, such an existence could be called a deity that could not be any older. The two older dragon sons had heard many legends and rumors about Fengdu, and their hands were shaking as they stood in front of this immortal.
"Greetings to the Immortal Lord Fengdu!"
Fang Xiu's eyes swept across the five people and immediately settled on one of them, a dragon girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old. She was wearing a bluish-white palace skirt, had a pretty face, and two golden-red dragon horns that looked a little playful.
The outline of her face gave Fang Xiu a very familiar feeling, especially her pair of eyes, which stared at him blankly, as if she was not afraid of strangers at all. She was not like her other four brothers and sisters, who did not even dare to raise their heads when they were in front of him.
Fang Xiu looked at the dragon girl, confirmed her identity immediately, and nodded.
At the beginning, Fang Xiu promised the other party that he would guide him into Taoism, and he also accepted benefits from the other party. With the other party's support, the entire Mountain and Sea Realm was transformed from virtual to real, saving himself countless tens of thousands of years of effort. Now it is time to fulfill his promise.
Then he looked up at Dragon King Fu Guang and said, "Dragon King, I think this dragon girl Fu Jia and I have a connection. I want to take her in as my disciple. I wonder if you agree!"
In an instant, the whole hall was in an uproar. Many monks gasped, some nodded repeatedly, as if they had known about this for a long time. The monks, transformed demons, and golden gods whispered to each other.
Dragon King Fu Guang's face flushed with excitement, and he immediately looked at Fu Jia: "Jia'er! Come and pay your respects to the Master!"
The cute little dragon girl with a pair of dragon horns looked at Fang Xiu, her big eyes rolling around, looking a little cunning: "I heard from them that you are the first person in the world to become an immortal. In this world, except for the gods and demons left over from the ancient times, no one can be stronger than you!"
"Jiaer greets Master!"
Fang Xiu laughed loudly. Outside the spacious hall and the Dragon Palace, all the guests stood up and saluted Fang Xiu: "Congratulations, Immortal Lord! Congratulations, Dragon King!"
At this time, Fang Xiu continued to ask a very important question at the Dragon Palace Banquet: "Do you want to follow me to cultivate and become an immortal, or to become a local god?"
