"Are you acquainted with the Shark King, Senior?" Jiang Changkong's heart stirred as he asked.
"I grew up listening to legends of the Shark King. My grandfather met him back then." The Golden Roc Bird spread its wings. "And those two marks on your brow—which two ancient near-gods do they belong to?"
"One practiced soul martial arts, the other body refinement."
Jiang Changkong did not hide it. The Golden Roc Bird could sense whether they were ancient near-gods.
The Golden Roc Bird looked somewhat surprised but said nothing. It spread its wings and soared into the sky. "I'll go on ahead."
"Changkong, you're so familiar with the Thirteen Sea Kings that she actually granted you a wish." Only then did Yu Qiannian speak, his voice full of envy.
"Of course. Brother Long is the inheritor of the Yellow Springs lineage." Jiang Changkong patted the Nether Dragon.
The Nether Dragon held its head high with pride, looking utterly arrogant.
Yu Qiannian explained, "Those Sea Kings have all walked through the ages from ancient times. They may even have seen immortals and gods.
"I told you before that, with the world barrier in place, even near-gods cannot leave their own stars."
"What does that have to do with this?" Jiang Changkong asked doubtfully.
"Back then, the Thirteen Sea Kings' fiefdom contained eight stars.
"She could travel freely between those eight stars. Do you think she would have lacked treasures?"
Yu Qiannian sighed. "What a pity. You wasted a wish by asking only for the Yellow Springs inheritance."
"The Yellow Springs inheritance is enough. Besides, from ancient times until now, hasn't she still failed to become an immortal or god?"
Jiang Changkong said calmly, "Even if she had immortal or divine treasures, they would have lost their immortal and divine might by now.
