Candle Dragon's Slumber, Nuwa's Invitation

While the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Cihang was also considering countermeasures.

Although he had only known Candle Dragon for a short time, he still discovered Candle Dragon's decisiveness and determination.

If he cannot achieve his goal, he will truly destroy the Sea Eye in a self-destructive manner.

Even if Hongjun intervenes, he will not ignore the destruction of the Sea Domain.

However, Si Hai inevitably regretted suffering heavy losses, including his Mount Luojia Glazed Immortal Realm.

In the end, he actually came up with a solution.

Modern cultivators have always regarded the Heavenly Court and the demon race as one, but this is not actually the case.

The Heavenly Court is the central hub for regulating the laws and order of heaven and earth.

Di Jun is the ruler of the Heavenly Court, but that does not mean that the Heavenly Court belongs to the demon race.

It should be said that the demon race is part of the Heavenly Court.

It was only because the demon race was so powerful that it completely seized control of the Heavenly Court that all cultivators overlooked this point.

In reality, the Heavenly Court and the Demon Race are two different systems.

At the urging of the gods, the Dragon Clan and the demon race compromised with each other.

After Candle Dragon was confirmed to belong to the Heavenly Court, the fortunes of the four seas instantly converged on the Heavenly Court.

At the same time, the Heavenly Court also shared a portion of its fortune with the Four Seas Dragon Clan.

This made them, who had been suppressed by Karmic Debt, feel a little more at ease.

For the Dragon Clan, joining the Heavenly Court was not a loss.

They can both avoid participating in the battles between the demon race and protect the four seas.

Even if the demon race is truly defeated, they will still be part of the Heavenly Court and will not be burdened by the demon race.

This is already the best possible outcome.

In the future, as long as they maintain stability throughout the world, they will be able to continuously accumulate merit and good fortune.

One day, they will be freed from the shackles of Karmic Debt.

Compared to Candle Dragon, although Di Jun and Tai Yi obtained the fortune of the four seas, they were not happy.

After Candle Dragon swore allegiance to the Heavenly Court, he turned around and withdrew from the East Sea.

However, before leaving, I still glanced at Cihang.

They had indeed not taken Cihang seriously before.

But it was Cihang, whom they had overlooked, who resolved the stalemate.

Not only Di Jun and Tai Yi, but also all the other quasi-saints kept Cihang in their hearts.

Of these, the Primordial Yuanshi is the most complex.

It's worth noting that Cihang almost became his disciple.

Since preaching at Kunlun, Yuanshi has completely forgotten about Cihang.

He didn't believe Cihang could achieve anything after refusing to become his disciple, nor did he think she was worth his attention.

Unexpectedly, upon their reunion, Cihang had not only advanced to the Great Luo realm in cultivation, but his aptitude had also improved.

However, it was merely a bit of a surprise.

Even if Cihang advances to the Great Luo realm, it still won't be enough for Yuanshi to take her seriously.

Naturally, they wouldn't target Cihang again because of this.

After Di Jun and Tai Yi left, the Sanqing Jieyin and Jie Yin also left the East Sea one after another.

Cihang then bid farewell to Hong Yun, Nuwa, and the others one by one.

In the end, only Cihang and the Dragon Clan remained.

"Bump!"

After everyone left, the ancient Dragon Palace shattered and was rebuilt into the Four Seas Dragon Palace, which now guards the four seas.

However, this was not because Candle Dragon deliberately dismantled the Dragon Palace, but because he could no longer persist.

As the ancient dragon palace dispersed once more, the enormous body of the Candle Dragon also fell from the void.

Cihang flashed and appeared on the seabed.

The enormous body of the Candle Dragon crashed into the seabed, creating a deep abyss.

"Senior Candle Dragon, are you alright?"

Cihang stepped forward and unleashed a burst of magical power imbued with the essence of creation to help stabilize Candle Dragon's injuries.

Nourished by Cihang's magical power, the cracks on Candle Dragon's body finally stopped spreading.

"Cough!"

Candle Dragon was about to express his gratitude, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Previously, when facing off against Di Jun, Candle Dragon was merely putting on a brave front.

Now that the Dragon Palace has lost its protection, the life force of the Candle Dragon is rapidly fading away.

"Candle Dragon!"

"Ancestor, how are you!"

"Ancestor!"

Immediately afterwards, the Four Dragon Kings rushed over, taking out various healing items.

With the help of a variety of spiritual fruits and pills, Candle Dragon was able to barely stabilize his life.

"Thank you so much, my Cihang friend Cihang!"

Candle Dragon barely managed to transform into a Daoist form and bowed to Cihang.

If it weren't for Cihang's intervention, things would be far from resolved amicably today.

"Senior, you are too kind. Cihang's strength is meager, and there is very little I can do."

"I hope you don't blame Cihang for not intervening earlier!"

Cihang quickly stepped aside to avoid it, and at the same time stepped forward to Candle Dragon up.

"How could I blame you? If it weren't for your last words, young friend, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to hold on."

If Cihang hadn't spoken up in time, the Dragon Clan might have been saved, but they might not have ended up like this.

This time, he truly no longer needed to worry about the future of the Dragon Clan.

"Senior, please don't stand on ceremony here. It's more important to recover from your injuries as soon as possible!"

Looking at the weakened Candle Dragon, Cihang was truly afraid that he would die from exhaustion at any moment.

"My body cannot remain in this state for long; I must immediately enter the Dragon Abyss to slumber."

My Dragon Clan will remember your kindness this time.

"If you ever need any assistance in the future, please feel free to come to my Dragon Palace."

Candle Dragon was also aware of his situation and knew he could no longer hold on.

After making a promise to Cihang, Candle Dragon then issued orders to the Four Dragon Kings.

He had already realized that Cihang's potential was far greater than what he had seen, and naturally he was willing to deepen his connection with Cihang.

In this respect, Candle Dragon and the Four Dragon Kings share the same attitude.

After bidding farewell to Cihang once again, Candle Dragon no longer forced himself to stay awake and went directly to the Dragon Palace to sleep through the altar.

After Candle Dragon left, Cihang refused the Dragon King of the East Sea's offer to stay and left the Dragon Palace.

With the matter in the East China Sea settled, it's time for him to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, are you returning to the South China Sea?"

As soon as Cihang stepped out of the sea, he saw Nuwa appear not far from him.

"Cihang greets Senior Nuwa!"

Cihang immediately bowed to Nuwa.

"It's been a long time, why do you seem so distant, fellow Daoist!"

Nuwa frowned, her words carrying a hint of reproach.

"It was Cihang 'Cihang fault for overestimating her abilities before!"

After breaking through his cultivation level, Cihang became increasingly clear about the difference between Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Immortals.

Previously, he was still influenced by that memory, and actually became arrogant, addressing a Quasi-Saint as a fellow Daoist despite being a Golden Immortal.

"I associate with you, fellow Daoist, because I value your qualities and character."

Fellow Daoist's ability to break through to the Great Luo in such a short time proves that I did not misjudge you.

Now that you, fellow Daoist, also possess the body of Innate God-Demon, you are naturally qualified to address me as fellow Daoist!

At Nuwa's insistence, the two resumed addressing each other as fellow Daoists.

Nuwa was right; although the Great Luo Immortal was not as good as the Quasi-Saint.

However, having already embarked on the path of seeking the Dao, he was barely qualified to address a Quasi-Saint as a fellow Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist, you shouldn't have any urgent matters at the moment. How about you travel with me through the Primordial World?"

After some polite exchanges, Nuwa extended an invitation to Cihang.

Although she did not get a satisfactory result last time, she still felt that Cihang had her own Opportunity for Enlightenment.

This encounter in the East Sea made Nuwa's premonition even stronger.

That is why she parted ways with Fuxi and invited Cihang to travel with her.

As she was unable to attain enlightenment for an extended period, Nuwa grew somewhat anxious.

"It is an honor for Cihang to travel with fellow Daoists; how could I refuse!"

Traveling with Nuwa is far more important than returning to the mountains alone for quiet meditation.

This journey should also be Nuwa's pilgrimage to enlightenment.
