High-Profile Visit, Powerful Candle Dragon

Seeing the almost blindingly luxurious display of the Dragon Palace, Di Jiang abandoned his original plan to sneak into the village and play the fool.

When dealing with these dragons who wore their wealth on their sleeves, he absolutely couldn't lose in terms of presence!

Di Jiang thought to himself.

More importantly, he realized this was also an excellent opportunity! Candle Dragon was an ancient existence rumored to control the Great Dao of Time! Although he himself dabbled in the Time Law, he hadn't delved deeply.

If he could discuss the Dao with such an existence and verify each other's understanding, it would greatly benefit his comprehension of the Great Dao of Time!

Di Jiang traveled downwards. When he was still tens of millions of miles away from the treasure-radiating Dragon Palace, he stopped concealing his form and aura!

BOOM!!!

A vast, boundless, and unified terrifying pressure, like a dormant volcano erupting, spread out from Di Jiang as the center!

The majestic aura stirred the boundless sea for hundreds of millions of miles, causing undercurrents and churning waves. However, Di Jiang did not reveal any killing intent. Even so, the dragon princes and grandchildren felt as if they were being crushed by an invisible giant mountain, instantly collapsing to the ground and trembling!

At the same time, Di Jiang's clear and majestic voice, like rolling thunder, pierced through the heavy seawater and clearly resonated above the entire Dragon Palace, even reaching the unknowable depths of the Dragon Palace:

"Lord of Mount Buzhou, Di Jiang, has come to visit fellow Daoist Candle Dragon! Please show yourself!"

His voice contained the supreme Dao charm of his Primordial Golden Immortal cultivation and the glorious vital energy of Pangu's True Lineage, carrying an irrefutable power!

This move by Di Jiang clearly told the Dragon Clan that the visitor was not someone they could casually bully, but a Primordial Golden Immortal on the same level as their ancestor, Candle Dragon! This would make any dragon princes or grandchildren who might look down on others put away their petty thoughts and be respectful.

Secondly, it would draw out the main figure. His true target was Candle Dragon, and only by conversing with Candle Dragon could he achieve his goals, whether it was borrowing treasures or discussing the Dao. Directly releasing his Primordial Golden Immortal pressure was the fastest and most effective method!

Di Jiang's pressure and transmission were like a depth charge dropped into the calm and luxurious Dragon Palace! The entire Dragon Palace instantly fell from extreme luxury and noise into deathly silence, followed by uncontrollable panic and commotion!

"Primordial Golden Immortal?"

"Di Jiang of Mount Buzhou? Is that the rumored Lord of Mount Buzhou?"

"Quick! Hurry and report to the Grand Elder! No, report directly to Ancestor Candle Dragon!"

In the depths of the Dragon Palace, several hidden and powerful divine senses cautiously probed out. Upon encountering Di Jiang's unfathomable pressure, they retracted as if electrocuted, filled with shock.

Di Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in the deep sea. The space around him slightly distorted, blocking out the overwhelming treasure light of the Dragon Palace. He waited quietly.

The East Sea Hidden Treasure, a secret realm shrouded by countless restrictions and temporal mists, opened a pair of enormous dragon eyes that seemed to contain the vicissitudes of ages and could see through the past and future.

Its unimaginably massive dragon body slowly stretched in the secret realm, causing the flow of time around it to become turbulent and unstable.

It sensed Di Jiang's presence. The vigorous, sharp, Primordial Golden Immortal Dao charm, carrying the unique aura of this era, caused a ripple in its tranquil heart.

"Mount Buzhou, Di Jiang! Pangu's descendant!"

Candle Dragon instantly understood the visitor's origin. To have reached the Primordial Golden Immortal realm in such a short time, this child's Origin, Fortune, and perseverance were all top-tier.

(Search for the book title not found, you can try searching for the author, maybe it has been renamed!)

Candle Dragon glanced at its own dragon body, which, although still powerful, was entangled by invisible karmic chains, seemingly stuck in a quagmire and unable to advance. A hint of sadness flashed in its eyes.

Since the ancient Dragon-Han Calamity, it had suffered some minor injuries, but these were insignificant. The serious issue was that it bore the immense karma brought by the Dragon Clan. Although its cultivation remained at the late stage of Primordial Golden Immortal, with karma unresolved, even minor injuries were difficult to heal, causing its path forward to be severed. It was like an insect trapped in amber, able to do nothing but watch time pass, watching later generations catch up and even surpass it.

"Alas, regardless, a newly ascended Primordial Golden Immortal's visit is worthy of my attention."

Candle Dragon's mind moved. Its colossal dragon body, spanning hundreds of millions of miles and controlling the flow of time, began to rapidly shrink and condense. Boundless divine light and temporal runes flowed, eventually transforming into a human form.

As the light dissipated, a middle-aged Daoist wearing a black dragon-patterned Daoist robe appeared in the secret realm. His figure was slightly thin but exceptionally tall, with an ancient face carrying the majesty of time's precipitation!

As his eyes opened and closed, scenes of day and night alternating, and seasons changing, seemed to flash within them. Although he had concealed most of his aura after transforming, the invisible majesty of an ancient overlord and master of time was still awe-inspiring.

Candle Dragon did not immediately reveal himself but transmitted a thought directly into the minds of several Dragon Clan elders:

"A distinguished guest has arrived, do not be negligent. Open the main gate, and personally escort fellow Daoist Di Jiang to the main hall of the Crystal Palace. I will arrive shortly."

Under the respectful guidance of four Dragon Clan elders with white beards and hair, whose auras were profound but couldn't hide the fatigue and karmic entanglement in their brows, Di Jiang stepped into the core of the East Sea Dragon Palace—the Crystal Palace Hall.

As he walked, even with Di Jiang's knowledge, he couldn't help but secretly marvel at the Dragon Clan's extravagance. The ground was paved with jade that had been warmed for hundreds of millions of years, golden pillars supporting the sea stood on either side, and the dome was inlaid with night-blooming pearls the size of stars, emitting a soft and bright radiance that illuminated the entire hall as if it were daytime.

Coral formed the scenery, pearls served as curtains, spiritual springs flowed gently within, and the air was filled with pure water spiritual energy and the exotic fragrance of various rare spiritual materials...

This Dragon Palace might not possess the supreme majesty and mysterious Dao charm of Pangu Divine Hall that carried the weight of creation, but in terms of "magnificence" and "grandeur," it was absolutely unique in the Primordial World! Simply put, it was "absurdly" extravagant!

Entering the hall, Di Jiang's gaze immediately locked onto a figure seated high on the main seat.

It was a middle-aged Daoist wearing a black dragon-patterned Daoist robe. His figure was thin and tall, with an ancient face that seemed carved with the vicissitudes of countless ages.

He merely sat there, yet an invisible majesty naturally flowed around him, as if the alternation of day and night and the changes of the four seasons were within his single thought. It was Candle Dragon!

Di Jiang's divine sense moved slightly, and he quickly made a judgment: this dragon's cultivation was indeed superior to his own. The profound, abyss-like temporal Dao charm was undeniable; it was at least stronger than his current level. He was only one step away from the mid-stage of Primordial Golden Immortal, so Di Jiang estimated Candle Dragon's cultivation to be at least late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal!

However, the pressure he felt was far less overwhelming than when facing Hongjun, that suffocating feeling as if he were opposing the entire Heavenly Dao. This indicated that although Candle Dragon was strong, he was not without the power to resist!

Di Jiang had always shown sufficient respect to the strong. He stopped his steps, cupped his hands first, and said in a calm yet dignified tone:

"Di Jiang of Mount Buzhou greets fellow Daoist Candle Dragon! I apologize for this presumptuous visit and for disturbing your cultivation."

Candle Dragon's eyes, which seemed to penetrate time, lingered on Di Jiang for a moment. A barely perceptible surprise flashed deep within his eyes.

He could feel the pure and vigorous Pangu vital energy on Di Jiang, as well as the Primordial Dao fruit, which, although different from the mainstream immortal cultivation methods of the current Primordial World, also pointed directly to the Great Dao. This child was indeed extraordinary.

Candle Dragon did not act arrogantly. He also stood up, cupped his hands in return, and responded calmly with a voice carrying an ancient rhythm:

"Fellow Daoist Di Jiang is too kind. You are Pangu's True Lineage and the Lord of Mount Buzhou. It is the honor of the Dragon Clan that you grace my humble abode in the East Sea. Please, have a seat."

Candle Dragon gestured with his hand. At the upper seat on the left side of the hall, a chair carved from a single piece of Nine Heavens Cold Jade had already been prepared. It emanated a cool Dao charm and was clearly of great value.

Di Jiang did not refuse and took his seat calmly. Immediately, beautiful dragon maidens served him immortal nectar and jade liquor, all rare delicacies hard to find in the Primordial World.
