The black mist engulfed him, and a mysterious woman warned that a Demon Emperor was waiting.

After Jiang Ping'an was detected near the surface, he escaped to an undersea mountain and carved out a hiding place inside Myriad Year Cold Iron.

After killing a flood dragon demon king and surfacing near a chain of islands, he flew toward the largest island but drew the attention of a much larger group of flood dragon demons.

• The Golden Scaled Serpent Demon King ordered the flood dragons to attack Jiang Ping'an, who killed dozens of them with his halberd and used the Magnetic Jade Bottle to counter their lightning.

• The five giant dragons were confused by Jiang Ping'an's Dao Inquiry Realm cultivation, but fled when he attacked with the Profound Yellow Pagoda and Thunder Dragon Sword.
• Jiang Ping'an used the True Thunder Treasure Wings and Dragon Abyss Halberd to kill one dragon, then pursued and killed another with his fists and sword.
• The Profound Yellow Pagoda refined the three dragons it had trapped, agreeing to leave their corpses intact after Jiang Ping'an called it Pagoda Grandfather.
• Jiang Ping'an collected the dragon corpses, Dragon Pearl, and Spirit Treasure, then flew toward the island to kill the remaining Flood Dragons.

Jiang Ping'an cleared the flood dragons from the Eastern Penglai Archipelago and struggled to find a way to protect its rescued population after he left. He began training a group of talented islanders and left the Profound Yellow Pagoda to guard them while he searched for Demon Kings to bind as protectors.

• Jiang Ping'an killed thousands of flood dragons, rescued more than three million people, and learned the history of the Eastern Penglai Archipelago.
• He spent over a month refining the flood dragons and the Celestial Race Saint into Spirit Pills, then asked the Profound Yellow Pagoda how to keep the islanders safe.
• The Profound Yellow Pagoda advised him to capture Demon Kings and make them serve trustworthy islanders, so Jiang Ping'an selected one hundred talented cultivators and taught them the Heavenly One Water Manifestation Art.

• He left the Profound Yellow Pagoda to protect the twelve Water Spiritual Bodies and sailed away to capture Demon Kings.

• The twelve Registered Disciples and the eighty-eight cultivators knelt and wept as they watched Jiang Ping'an leave.

After returning to Ping'an City, Jiang Ping'an reviewed the city's growth, its Spirit Stone Mine, and his disciples' progress.

He offered all five eggs to Lin Zihan and Palace Master Yunshui for two million Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and accepted their offer without haggling.

• Jiang Ping'an sold five Jiaolong Eggs to Palace Master Yunshui and Lin Zihan, then gave Zhang Zhe more eggs to distribute among the sect, Heaven's Mandate Garrison, and Young Guards.
• The Heaven's Mandate Sect Disciples and the city's armed forces rejoiced at the chance to obtain Jiaolong Eggs as Jiang Ping'an focused on cultivation for more than three months.
