Little Dragon, Times Have Changed

If the sea could bring back the love we once had, then let me wait a lifetime. If you no longer cherish those deeply felt memories, then let them drift away with the wind...

A seabird falling in love with a fish was merely an accident...

Listen, the sound of the sea crying...

I like the sea; you like the waves...

"..."

After entering the East Sea waters.

The Three Pure Ones could feel Zhou Qingqing's mood suddenly becoming turbulent.

Still, there were things about it that puzzled them.

A seabird falling in love with a fish—wasn't that perfectly normal? In this sea, it was not an accident at all. Once they took human form, they could even love each other for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or a million years...

Zhou Qingqing had no idea that her three masters were picking apart the lyrics she had sung on a whim.

The reason she was so high-spirited was naturally because she had seen the true sea of the Primordial World.

Of the Four Seas, the East Sea was the most revered. It was even regarded by the Dragon Clan as a place where fortune gathered. It truly was extraordinary!

But why did I feel like my three masters had slowed down?

Were they not planning to head to Penglai Island early?

That made sense. Experts always arrived last. The stronger and more famous someone was, the more likely they were to make their entrance as the grand finale.

Good grief.

She had finally noticed, had she?

Hearing Zhou Qingqing's thoughts, the Three Pure Ones let out a sigh of relief.

They had set out from Eastern Kunlun a little early. It was not yet time for the Penglai Assembly to begin, and the Three Pure Ones had no intention of arriving at the Penglai Immortal Court early just to be gawked at like monkeys.

So they had been circling over the East Sea, intending to arrive at the Penglai Immortal Court right on time.

Since they had learned from Zhou Qingqing's thoughts that Tongtian would have a sacred ground in the East Sea, they decided to search for it.

Yet after passing countless islands, Tongtian had not sensed any blessed grotto-heaven fated for him.

Supreme Pure Laozi had also performed divinations for his third brother, but unfortunately, he had not divined a single thing.

Thus, they placed their hopes on Zhou Qingqing, hoping she could offer some "helpful advice."

Instead, the girl had launched into a medley of songs.

Fortunately, after Zhou Qingqing finished singing, she finally noticed that they had been leading her in circles and understood their painstaking intentions.

My masters are circling around the East Sea. Could it be that they sensed Golden Turtle Island?

Tongtian's eyes lit up slightly.

He instantly caught the name Golden Turtle Island.

If nothing unexpected happened, Golden Turtle Island should be the sacred ground Zhou Qingqing had mentioned.

"Eldest Brother, I sense that Golden Turtle Island is fated to me. Help me divine its exact location."

Upper Pure Tongtian raised an eyebrow and spoke with a soft laugh.

Jade Pure Yuanshi nearly rolled his eyes at his third brother's breezy words. Sense my ass. Whenever Qingqing mentioned a name, he claimed to have sensed it. He really had some nerve.

Third Master really does have a connection with Golden Turtle Island. I was right~~

Supreme Pure Laozi could not help rubbing his forehead.

Naturally, he could not expose his own third brother.

Although his third brother had nothing at all right now and had not formed any connection with Golden Turtle Island.

Supreme Pure Laozi was no ordinary man.

Now that he had the island's name, he could conduct a deeper divination.

Gleams of light flashed in Supreme Pure Laozi's eyes. After quite some time, he softly exhaled. "This way."

Even knowing Golden Turtle Island's name.

Supreme Pure Laozi had still expended considerable effort to divine its location.

But for Tongtian to show off before others, this work had to be done by him, the elder brother.

It was obvious.

Golden Turtle Island was definitely not something Tongtian had discovered at this point in time. Otherwise, why would such an exhausting divination be necessary?

After listening to Zhou Qingqing sing several more noisy songs about the sea.

The Three Pure Ones finally stopped in a region of the East Sea. Yet there was not the slightest trace of an island where they had stopped.

Supreme Pure Laozi's divination had only led them this far.

Seeing this situation, he remained silent.

Third Master, why aren't you making a move? Hurry up and break the Ten Absolute Array outside Golden Turtle Island so we can get onto the island sooner!

So there was an array outside Golden Turtle Island.

Supreme Pure Laozi and Jade Pure Yuanshi looked at their third brother with displeasure.

So their third brother had already figured out what array it was, yet he stood there without saying a word. Was he toying with them?

"I've been wronged, Eldest Brother, Second Brother. I really have. I truly didn't recognize the array here. If Qingqing hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have known there was a Ten Absolute Array here."

Tongtian hurriedly explained through divine transmission.

He had indeed discovered faint traces of an array. Ten absolute circles within this space concealed the aura of this place.

But he truly had not learned the name Ten Absolute Array.

Now that the array's name had been revealed, Tongtian felt as though divine inspiration had struck. The haze surrounding the array instantly cleared from his eyes, allowing him to glimpse its mysteries.

Once he had clearly seen the array's workings.

Tongtian flicked his sleeve, and the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd immediately leaped forth, splitting into ten sword lights that slashed toward ten different directions.

As the array shattered, the aura of that blessed grotto-heaven immediately spilled out from within.

Heaven and earth spun, and wondrous phenomena arose one after another.

As expected of Third Master. Even as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, breaking this innate Ten Absolute Array was effortless for him.

Those disciples in the future would have to rack their brains to break the Ten Absolute Array. The difference was enormous.

Upper Pure Tongtian unconsciously raised an eyebrow.

According to Qingqing, this Ten Absolute Array should be an array that his future disciples would set up.

As for who exactly was useless, there was no need to think too hard about it.

"What a splendid grotto-heaven. It truly suits me."

Seeing Golden Turtle Island, covered in myriad spiritual lights and blessings across the land, Tongtian was delighted.

Even if the Three Pure Ones did not separate, Golden Turtle Island could still serve as his separate residence. Its countless islands were scattered like stars, making it an excellent place to set up arrays at any time.

With just one glance, he had fallen in love with this place.

However.

Before he could officially set foot on Golden Turtle Island.

Dragon roars suddenly rang out over the sea.

"Those who come, halt! This place is a treasure land of my Dragon Clan. No other cultivator may lay claim to it."

Ha, the Dragon Clan actually dared to step forward and stop Third Master from entering his own sacred ground in this era?

Seriously? They were that bold?

Hey, hey, little dragons, times have changed. This is no longer the era of the Dragon-Han Calamity, when the three innate clans ruled supreme. Were you tired of living?

If this had been during the Dragon-Han Calamity, Zhou Qingqing would have fully understood the Dragon Clan appearing to block the Three Pure Ones.

But the Dragon Clan had already retreated to the Four Seas. By rights, they should have been playing dead, staying hidden whenever possible. Yet now that Golden Turtle Island had appeared, they actually dared to show themselves. Weren't they just handing themselves over on a platter?
