Ever since Forest Sea Old Dragon had been locked inside Yuheng Star Tower, three years had passed.
Over these three years, whenever he found an opportunity, he laid traps, popping out to pester Jiang Wang whether there was business or not. Though he had never succeeded, Jiang Wang had grown accustomed to his presence—accustomed to his helplessness.
A full three years!
Anything simmered for that long ought to have cooked through.
And he looked thoroughly overcooked too, as though life held nothing left for him.
From threats and curses to patient persuasion, then finally straightening his posture and enthusiastically planning his landlord's life for him.
He had struck such a perfect pose that perhaps Jiang Wang was already planning how to use him as a mount, hoping to emulate the World-Honored One of old and become the foremost dragon tamer in The Present World.
Before the map was fully unfurled and the dagger revealed, he had even indecently discussed the arts of masculine seduction with Jiang Wang, recounting the secret tale of how he had wooed an old nun from Heavenly Buddha Temple.
The boy had listened with great relish.
And so, amid casual, understated chatter, he carelessly brought up that [true name].
He had never revealed his true name before... Who would have imagined that even a name could not be spoken?
It was not some Panwu Clan, Yuanhong, or Xihun!
Actually, his true name could be spoken.
During those years when he fled the Cang Sea, who knew how many Sea Race compatriots had cursed and reviled him? It had never caused the slightest effect.
But after the Star Chart Profound Construct, when the Gate of Myriad Wonders of the cosmos opened, this true name became a great key, unlocking a path he had prepared many years ago.
