Long Xuan backed down

Long Xuan's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

In just over a decade, Long Zhantian had surpassed him.

This feeling is absolutely amazing!

Suppressing his emotions, he looked at Zhang Xuanchen.

His brow furrowed slightly; he could not sense any aura emanating from the other person.

Then his gaze fell on Xiao Huo, who was standing next to Zhang Xuanchen and wore a Fire Dragon robe with a slight Little Flame on his lips.

His pupils suddenly contracted!

Dragon!

True Dragon!

Although he couldn't sense Little Flame's specific cultivation level, the dragon's might it exuded definitely belonged to True Dragon!

Even more pure than Long Zhantian at this moment!

"Xuan Chen, who is this?"

Long Xuan's voice was deep, his gaze fixed intently on Little Flame.

Zhang Xuanchen stepped forward first, bowed slightly to Long Xuan, and said:

Uncle Xuan.

The address "Uncle Xuan" eased Long Xuan's tense expression slightly.

He nodded in response.

Zhang Xuanchen pointed to the Little Flame on his shoulder and introduced with a smile, "Uncle Xuan, this is my contracted partner, Little Flame."

Its true form is a True Dragon.

Boom!

The imposing look on Long Xuan's face instantly crumbled, replaced by a look of astonishment.

The Gui Ming behind him was so frightened that its shell trembled all over.

It really is True Dragon!

Contractual Partner?

Are you kidding me?!

Dragon Clan are so proud, how could they possibly sign a contract with Human Race, let alone the True Dragon with the most noble bloodline!

Oh, right, Uncle Xuan.

Little Flame made a great contribution during this trip to the Dragon Domain.

Zhang Xuanchen spoke casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, "He earned the opportunity to cultivate the complete Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art for the Dragon Court."

Boom!

These words struck Nine-Heaven Divine Thunder Long Xuan and Gui Ming like a thunderbolt from the heavens.

Full version... Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art?

They can also cultivate the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art?

Long Xuan felt his mind was a bit overwhelmed, and he couldn't understand why Zhang Xuanchen would say such a thing.

What exactly happened in the Dragon Domain?

Long Xuan turned his head and looked at Long Zhantian with a questioning gaze.

Gui Ming, standing to the side, also looked over with anticipation.

Meeting the two burning gazes, Long Zhantian grinned and nodded heavily.

"Father King, what Xuan Chen said is true. You and the Ancestor will also be able to cultivate the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art in the future."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Long Xuan felt a wave of dizziness.

However, as the Dragon Court Lord, he quickly composed himself.

She took a deep look at Zhang Xuanchen, then at Little Flame, and finally fixed her gaze on her transformed son.

His expression was incredibly complex.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Let's go... back to the Dragon Court to talk."

After saying this, Long Xuan turned around and swam towards the direction of the Dragon Court.

However, from behind, the view looked somewhat rushed.

This is quite normal; after all, no one could withstand such a huge piece of news.

For Long Xuan to have achieved this much is already quite good.

Zhang Xuanchen and Long Zhantian exchanged a glance, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes.

On the way back to Dragon Court, the atmosphere was subtly silent.

In the end, it was Long Zhantian who broke the silence.

Swimming to Long Xuan's side, he said, "Father King."

"We learned quite a bit during our trip to the Dragon Domain."

"And the most important thing is that the Xuanqiong Realm will inevitably face a Great Tribulation in the future."

"The Outer Realm Devil will descend in the near future."

"The Demonized Creature we encountered in the Xuanqiong Realm were nothing more than Demon Seed that had been possessed by the dead Outer Realm Devil; they weren't even appetizers."

This alone is causing headaches for all the forces in the South Sea Immortal Continent.

Long Xuan and Gui Ming listened with trepidation; these secrets were things they had never encountered before.

They listened intently, afraid of missing any details.

"Therefore, after summoning Little Flame to the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall in the Core Zone, the powerful Dragon Clan in the depths of the Dragon Domain passed on the complete version of the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art to Little Flame."

Little Flame then passed this Cultivation Method on to me and Xuan Chen.

The powerful Dragon Clan member said, "We can pass this Cultivation Method on to our fellow clansmen to prepare for future calamities."

At this point, Long Zhantian changed the subject, glancing at his Father King.

"Father King, Xuan Chen did indeed secretly take Little Flame into the Dragon Domain without your knowledge."

But you mustn't have any complaints about Xuan Chen regarding this matter.

"After all, without Little Flame, our Dragon Court wouldn't even have the right to access this secret, let alone obtain the complete version of the Cultivation Method."

Without Xuan Chen, I wouldn't have been able to reach the inner perimeter of the Dragon Domain, obtain fortuitous opportunity, and gain my current strength.

Long Xuan's expression changed slightly.

He had indeed been wondering whether Little Flame had entered through Zhang Xuanchen's Spirit Beast Bag.

He was even thinking of using this opportunity to demand an explanation from Zhang Xuanchen and get some benefits from him.

But now, Long Zhantian has preemptively shut him down.

Long Zhantian, however, seemed oblivious to Long Xuan's expression and continued speaking to himself:

"Of course, it's no use if you have any objections."

Do you know what level Xuan Chen's Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art has reached now?

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan subconsciously looked at Zhang Xuanchen.

Long Zhantian, however, raised five fingers, his tone carrying a hint of warning:

"Fifth Revolution Early Stage!"

"You might not have a concept of this level, so let me give you an example."

"If he wanted to now,

"One punch could level our entire East Sea Dragon Court."

Long Zhantian understood perfectly.

If Long Xuan doesn't completely suppress the slight rift in his heart towards Zhang Xuanchen, a rift will inevitably appear in their relationship sooner or later.

Even Dragon Court and the Zhang Clan became bitter enemies.

By then it will be too late!

Long Zhantian's words were calm, but they made Long Xuan's heart pound!

He stopped abruptly, staring at Zhang Xuanchen in disbelief.

That young man, whom he remembered as rather gentle and polite...

One punch... and it flattens the East Sea Dragon Court?

Early Stage Fifth-grade?!

Has it become that powerful?

Long Xuan no longer knew whether he should be happy or sad.

Now, isn't he Dragon Court Lord, no different from someone made of paper in front of this other party?

"So, Father," Long Zhantian patted Long Xuan on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Don't have any improper thoughts. You can't threaten him."

What we need to do now is to treat them well and build good relationships.

Do you understand?

Don't think about those unnecessary things.

You can cultivate the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art; when the Devil Race descends in the future, you will have powerful allies to support you.

You should be secretly happy.

In a few days, you will abdicate and pass the Dragon King title to me. Go and cultivate the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art and prepare to transform into a dragon.

"Let me tell you, the fortuitous opportunity I gained in the Dragon Domain this time could buy dozens of Dragon Court."

He wasn't lying; after all, the value of the Coiling Dragon Fruit was undeniable.

Hearing Long Zhantian's blunt words, Zhang Xuanchen smiled helplessly.

But... he likes it.

He simply liked Long Zhantian's frankness.

This frankness made it difficult for him to harbor ill will towards Dragon Court.

Long Xuan's lips twitched violently a few times.

He felt that the authority and understanding he had built up over thousands of years had been eroded in the short span of less than an hour today.

It was smashed to pieces by his good son and that young man Zhang Xuanchen working together.

Upon returning to the magnificent Dragon Court, Long Xuan immediately issued the following order:

"Pass down the order!"

A grand banquet!

I, the King, must host a welcoming banquet for the Crown Prince and our two distinguished guests!

His majestic voice echoed throughout the entire Crystal Palace, and all the Shrimp Soldier Crab General, palace maids, and servants sprang into action at the sound.

The entire Dragon Court became exceptionally lively as a result.

Long Xuan sat down next to Zhang Xuanchen, and his attitude had now completely changed.

He warmly held Zhang Xuanchen's hand, showering him with concern and affection. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought Zhang Xuanchen was his biological son.

"Nephew Xuan Chen, I was the Uncle Xuan who neglected you in the past, please don't take it to heart."

"From now on, this East Sea Dragon Court."

Just like your home, you can come whenever you want!

Take whatever you like.

"If you wish, my Dragon Court can establish the closest trading relationship with the Zhang Family Xuanxiao Chamber of Commerce at any time."

This was a scene that Zhang Xuanchen was also pleased to see.

Since Long Xuan, as an elder, had already taken the initiative to back down, it would be very petty of him to hold onto the matter.

"Uncle Xuan, what are you saying? Those are all minor matters."

Uncle Xuan has provided a great deal of help to me in achieving what I have today.

How could there be any rift between them?

"Haha, good, good!"

Long Xuan felt extremely pleased. Zhang Xuanchen's absolute strength, coupled with Long Zhantian's words and the threat from the Devil Race, made him feel incredibly satisfied.

At this moment, any objections to Zhang Xuanchen completely vanished.

Looking at Little Flame, he said, "You, Xuan Chen, and Zhan Tian are friends."

I'll take the liberty of addressing you as Uncle Long.

Today, eat, drink, and play as you please.

In an instant.

Inside the main hall of the Dragon Court, rare and exotic fruits, delicacies, and fine wines were served in a continuous stream.

Long Xuan sat in the main seat, frequently raising his cup, his words filled with praise and gratitude for Zhang Xuanchen.

Zhang Xuanchen handled the situation calmly and flawlessly.

The maids below danced gracefully, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Long Xuan put down his wine cup and stared intently at Little Flame.

He paused for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

Finally, Long Xuan spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Nephew Little Flame, we of the East Sea Dragon Court will never forget your kindness today."

"The Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art is the supreme secret manual of the Dragon Clan, and its significance to the Dragon Court is extraordinary. We truly do not know how to repay this kindness."

Little Flame was about to say a few polite words when Long Xuan suddenly changed the subject:

"After much deliberation, only one method remains, which may be able to express the heartfelt sentiments of my Dragon Court."

Long Xuan paused, then said, word by word:

"I have a daughter named Long Xue'er, who is as beautiful as a flower and gentle in nature, and is still unmarried..."
