Just as Di Jiang was at a loss about finding treasures, almost ready to give up, a name that circulated in the legends of the Primordial World, carrying a hint of ethereal immortal energy, flashed through his mind like lightning in the darkness—Penglai Immortal Island!
That's right! How could he forget this overseas exclave, this legendary land of bliss! Legend had it that Penglai Immortal Island was formed from a fragment of chaos, existing as its own realm, hidden deep within the East Sea, unaffected by the direct calamities of the Primordial World. Its spiritual energy was even richer than that of the Primordial World continent, and it had nurtured countless rare flowers, exotic plants, precious birds, strange beasts, and Innate Spiritual Treasures!
More importantly, Di Jiang remembered a vague memory from his past life: Penglai Immortal Island seemed to have been obtained only after Hongjun enfeoffed East Prince Gong as the leader of the male immortals in the Primordial World!
"That kid, East Prince Gong, shouldn't have Penglai Island yet, right?" Di Jiang's mind began to race. "Even if he did, with my current cultivation, if I go borrow a few items, can he refuse?"
However, legend had it that Penglai Immortal Island was difficult to find, and ordinary Great Powers couldn't find the entrance. But who was Di Jiang? He was a Primordial Golden Immortal who controlled the Space Law! He was most sensitive to spatial fluctuations and hidden barriers! Perhaps he could find that legendary entrance!
Instead of playing hide-and-seek with treasures that already had owners or were deeply hidden on the Primordial World continent, he might as well try his luck at Penglai Immortal Island!
With a clear goal, Di Jiang transformed into a Flowing Light and flew straight towards the vast and boundless Four Seas, with the East Sea as his primary search area!
He refused to believe that with the Space Law and his senses for opportunities, he wouldn't be able to find that legendary overseas immortal mountain!
For a full eighty thousand years! Di Jiang searched almost every corner of the East Sea. However, the legendary Penglai Immortal Island, like a flower in a mirror or the moon in water, hadn't revealed even a trace of its presence. Di Jiang had to admit that he and Penglai Immortal Island likely had no fate. The opportunities of the Heavenly Dao were profound and mysterious; they could not be forced.
Di Jiang looked at the vast East Sea, feeling dejected. He wondered if he should return first and think of another plan later, or at worst, improve his artifact refining skills and craft some decent Postnatal Spiritual Treasures to appease them for now...
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Three clear and grand bell tolls echoed from the depths of chaos, resonating clearly in the minds of all living beings in the Primordial World!
The second sermon at Purple Heaven Palace was about to begin!
Hongjun's sermons were held every three thousand years, with a Yuan Hui in between. Di Jiang still had no interest in listening to those Heavenly Dao methods. He'd rather spend that time pondering his Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens and Yin-Yang Law.
However, these bell tolls were like huge stones thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the silence of the Primordial World!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Powerful auras surged into the sky from all over the Primordial World, transforming into brilliant streams of light that impatiently tore through the void, rushing towards the chaos beyond the thirty-third heaven!
Among them were three colossal dragons with imposing auras and ferocious scales that erupted from the deep sea beneath Di Jiang's feet. Each possessed the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, clearly the current pillars of the Dragon Clan. They transformed into their true forms and rushed towards Purple Heaven Palace, seeking a sliver of opportunity.
Watching the receding figures of the three dragons, a thought that Di Jiang had previously disdained involuntarily surfaced—treasure hunting in the Dragon Palace!
In the Primordial World novels he read in his past life, protagonists, once they gained some strength, always seemed to like raiding the Dragon Palace, calling it "making friends with the Dragon Clan" while essentially robbing them blind.
At the time, Di Jiang was quite disdainful of this, thinking it was meaningless to bully the Dragon Clan, a once-dominant race now in decline, hiding in the Four Seas to eke out an existence. It didn't showcase any ability and went against his noble character.
Take him, Di Jiang, for example. A dignified Primordial Golden Immortal, Pangu's True Lineage, how could he engage in such acts of bullying the weak? The Dragon Clan was already in such a sorry state; wouldn't plundering them be no different from being a bandit?
However, looking at the three dragons rushing to listen to the sermon, afraid of falling behind, Di Jiang suddenly felt that sometimes, reality was just that cruel. It wouldn't care about your noble character; it would only repeatedly crush your bottom line with practical difficulties.
"Alas, the cruel Primordial World is always destroying my noble character!"
Di Jiang sighed deeply, a helpless and somewhat self-mocking smile appearing on his face. Then, his gaze sharpened, locking onto the sea area from which the three dragons had emerged. His figure flickered, and he dove into the deep East Sea, intending to pay a visit to the Dragon Clan!
Of course, it would be a friendly exchange, with good intentions. But who knew if the Dragon King would gift him some Innate Spiritual Treasures!
Di Jiang had initially thought finding the Dragon Palace would take some effort. After all, the Dragon Clan was once the overlord of the Primordial World, and Ancestor Dragon was a terrifying existence at the peak of Primordial Golden Immortal. Even in their current decline, a falling boat still has three pounds of nails. It shouldn't be difficult for them to set up some concealment and defensive formations to protect their descendants.
Moreover, there was the mysterious Candle Dragon, who controlled the Time Law and was likely also a Primordial Golden Immortal, supporting them from behind.
Di Jiang was prepared for a protracted battle, using his Space Law to meticulously sense spatial nodes and formation fluctuations.
However, as soon as he dove to a certain depth, before he could even investigate carefully, he was stunned by the scene before him! In the dark depths of the seabed, a colossal palace complex, constructed from countless dazzling crystals, ancient pearls, and various colorful corals and jades, was emitting a brilliant treasure light!
The brilliance was so intense, so majestic, so opulent, it was like a small sun rising from the seabed, making Di Jiang's eyes dizzy even through the layers of seawater and the vast distance!
The palaces were intricately carved and decorated, extremely luxurious. Giant luminous pearls served as streetlights, spiritual springs gushed forth, spiritual plants covered the ground, and the patrolling shrimp soldiers and crab generals wore shining armor...
The entire Dragon Palace was practically screaming, "I'm rich, come and rob me!"
Di Jiang's mouth twitched as he watched, a dark line seemingly hanging from his forehead.
"These worm-like creatures are truly fearless! They are already burdened with so much karma, yet they dare to be so ostentatious? Are they afraid people won't know how wealthy they are?"
He was speechless, but then Di Jiang thought about it and understood why the Dragon Clan dared to be so arrogant.
Firstly, it was out of habit. The Dragon Clan had dominated the Primordial World for a Yuan Hui, and they were accustomed to being the sole rulers, looking down on all others. That pride and grandeur etched into their bones couldn't be changed overnight.
Secondly, they had no rivals in the sea. Even a starved camel is larger than a horse. No matter how weakened the Dragon Clan was, their foundation and high-end combat power still made them absolute overlords in the current Four Seas. The creatures in the sea posed no threat to them.
Thirdly, the Great Powers of the Primordial World had reservations. The highest cultivation among the current overt Great Powers in the Primordial World was only the peak of Golden Immortal, still far from Primordial Golden Immortal. And behind the Dragon Clan stood Candle Dragon, a Primordial Golden Immortal!
Who would dare to cause trouble at the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas? Wasn't that like a centenarian eating arsenic, tired of living? Even if they knew the Dragon Palace had treasures, they wouldn't have the strength or the courage to take them.
Considering these points, the Dragon Clan naturally felt secure and continued to live their extravagant, radiant little lives.
"Heh, unfortunately, you've met me today. I misspoke earlier; although the Primordial World is cruel, my character is still noble!"
Di Jiang looked at the treasure-radiant Dragon Palace, a benevolent smile on his face, and any slight discomfort vanished!
Others might fear Candle Dragon, but he, Di Jiang, did not! They were both Primordial Golden Immortals. Although he was only in the early stage, he possessed the trump cards of multiple laws and the Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens. If a real fight broke out, who knew who would win!
Besides, he was here as a guest, not to exterminate them!
"It seems I've come to the right place this time!" Di Jiang rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning as he sped towards the Dragon Palace, which resembled a giant treasure vault!
