Donghua finished his cultivation and, without any regard for his image, lay directly on the lotus platform, feeling truly exhausted.

"Slaying the Three Corpses is truly too difficult!"

Those Desire and Obsessions could truly drown him, and then he had to gather them, concentrate them, and overcome them amidst the Desire and Obsessions.

After lying down for a while, Donghua sat up, and a seal appeared in his right hand.

It was the Spiritual Treasure seal that Hongjun had given him.

However, he had studied it several times without any success. His Primordial Spirit entered the Spiritual Treasure, wanting to leave a mark and refine it, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

His Primordial Spirit entered, and it was a hazy gray expanse, nothing else. He didn't even know the function of the Spiritual Treasure.

Below the seal were carved two Great Dao runes: Seal Heaven.

Donghua tried many methods, even the method of dripping blood to recognize its master, but he still couldn't refine it.

"Seal Heaven Seal, I haven't heard of this magical treasure in my previous life, but anything left behind by the Dao Ancestor, a Spiritual Treasure not yet distributed, cannot be ordinary."

"Perhaps the time is not right, it's not yet the time for this treasure to appear. But it's quite good for smashing people." Donghua didn't figure anything out, so he put it away.

He left the Great Hall and came to the Suspended Peak above Purple Mansion Continent, the highest point of the Three Islands and Ten Continents.

He wanted to go out and see the Primordial World of his memories. More than that, he wanted to travel the Primordial World to dilute the Desire and Obsessions from his previous life's memories.

"At this time, those Innate Deities should all be in seclusion cultivating, comprehending the Great Dao, seeking to slay the corpse and prove the Dao."

Donghua took a step and arrived on the surface of the East Sea.

"Since I've come to the Primordial World, how can I not visit the Dragon Clan? In my previous life, I was known as a descendant of dragons, not to mention that the Dragon Clan is famous for its wealth."

He arrived at the East Sea Dragon Palace and glanced at the people inside.

"Only three Great Luo Golden Immortals, and not a single Quasi-Saint?"

Donghua frowned, feeling that this strength did not match the Dragon Clan at all. He knew that during the war between the Three Clans, the Dragon Clan had preserved the most experts.

Donghua revealed his true form, intending to enter the Crystal Palace.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Dragon Palace?" The guards by the palace gate immediately drew their spears and surrounded Donghua.

Two people also came out of the Crystal Palace, the current East Sea Dragon King and the Turtle Prime Minister.

Upon seeing Donghua, the two were startled, clearly recognizing him.

"We did not expect the East King's grand arrival. This humble king has failed to welcome you properly. We hope you will forgive us." The person in front stepped forward and spoke, then dismissed the soldiers.

"Are you the current East Sea Dragon King?"

Donghua asked. This person was the Great Luo Golden Immortal from the hall earlier.

"This humble king is indeed the current Dragon King of the East Sea Dragon Clan, Ao Ming."

"Your cultivation is a bit low, not matching your status. Where are Candle Dragon and Ying Long?" Donghua nodded and asked.

Before Ao Ming could answer, a voice came from nearby.

"May I ask what brings the East King to our East Sea?" A voice came from the air.

Donghua recognized who it was by the voice.

"Fellow Daoist Candle Dragon, long time no see. As a neighbor, why don't you come out to greet me?"

"Hahaha, that depends on whether an unwelcome guest or a fellow Daoist has arrived. Since it is a fellow Daoist visiting, I should naturally welcome you. However, it is inconvenient today. Please leave, and I will host a banquet for you another day."

Candle Dragon heard Donghua's self-introduction and understood that he meant no harm, but he still refused to meet, the reason unknown.

Donghua was puzzled and said, "Since it's inconvenient for you, Fellow Daoist, I'll come myself."

A stream of light flashed across the sea, directly heading towards Candle Dragon's location.

Where Candle Dragon was located, the space was extremely oppressive, and the sky was pitch black. Along the way, one could see the white bones of the Dragon Clan scattered everywhere.

"What is this place?"

Donghua asked in shock, as he recognized the black energy in the sky as the malevolent energy from the beginning of Heaven and Earth, mixed with boundless Demonic Qi.

Such malevolent energy and Demonic Qi were definitely at the Quasi-Saint realm.

Candle Dragon was at the center of a great formation, surrounded by more than a dozen Great Luo, all within the formation.

Mysterious formation lights flowed, suppressing a space deep within.

However, dark energy occasionally flowed out from the space deep within, corroding the great formation. Beast roars could be heard from inside.

Candle Dragon saw that Donghua had arrived. He immediately increased his Magical Power and cast several hand seals, pushing the exposed black energy back.

Then he stood up, and the other Great Luo also stood up.

"Why didn't the East King listen to my advice and insist on coming here?" Candle Dragon's tone was unfriendly, seemingly displeased that Donghua had come here.

Seeing Candle Dragon walk over, Donghua cupped his hands in a Daoist salute: "I have nothing to do today and thought of you, my old neighbor, so I came to ask for a drink. I didn't expect you to want me to leave directly. This is greatly lacking in hospitality, which is unlike the polite and courteous Dragon Clan."

Candle Dragon saw that Donghua was full of goodwill and couldn't get angry. However, he was pondering in his heart, "Why has this East King Gong become so kind today? He's completely unlike his previous domineering demeanor. Strange, very strange."

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, since you have come here, you have also seen the danger of this place. We are truly too busy to entertain you. Why not leave?"

Candle Dragon didn't care what important matter Donghua had today and wanted to send him away directly.

"Candle Dragon, don't push your luck. I came here in good faith to visit an old neighbor, yet you've repeatedly tried to drive me away."

"Has it been too long since we last fought? Are you itching for a scrap again, forcing me to loosen your muscles for you?"

Donghua was furious. He had come to the East Sea's Dragon Clan for a tour, and if he left now, everyone would laugh at him.

"Hmph, Donghua, our last battle never concluded. If the timing were right today, I'd have fought you for three hundred rounds, letting you witness the might of my Dragon Clan's Spiritual Power once more."

The two had a long-standing history, though it wasn't quite enmity. It could be described as the youthful exuberance of two young men.

It was Candle Dragon who was ordered to attack the Three Islands in the past.

At that time, Donghua had only recently taken form. His cultivation was at the early stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, while Candle Dragon was already at the peak stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

But they were both very young.

Candle Dragon was eventually repelled by Donghua, who utilized the Three Islands' grand formation.

And now, both of them were Quasi-Saints.

A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal from the Dragon Clan standing nearby saw this and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Old Ancestor, East King, please calm your anger."

"East King, it's not that we, the Dragon Clan, are unwilling to host you today, but rather that we are unable to. East King, you can see the dangers of this place, and today the unrest here is particularly intense."

"The Old Ancestor and we have barely managed to suppress this area. We truly don't have the energy to entertain the East King. We ask for your understanding."

Donghua also noticed the abnormality of the area and stopped glaring and bickering with Candle Dragon.

He stepped forward and swept his Primordial Spirit's power across the space.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his Primordial Spirit's power swept across that space, it was completely devoured, vanishing without a trace.

Donghua quickly withdrew his Primordial Spirit's power.

"Hahahaha, young Donghua, you took a loss, didn't you? You refused to leave when I told you to, insisting on finding trouble for yourself." Candle Dragon burst into laughter.

In this book, before the Immortal Dao emerged, the Quasi-Saint realm was known as the Ancestor Realm, and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were called Emperor Realm. For the convenience of readers, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint will be used uniformly from now on.
