Ren Sea, Water Palace.
"An invitation from Eastern Azure?"
A deep male voice came from the main hall, resonant as bells and drums, yet gathered into a single point without spreading outward.
A faint pressure of divine ability descended, making streaks of purple lightning race across the hall's ceiling, flickering between light and darkness.
Xu Xuan sat upon his throne, lightly tapping its armrest.
He looked at a letter shimmering with azure light in his hand. Potent Jia Wood divine ability and the aura of Dragonkind wreathed it; it was unmistakably the work of Dragon King Cave Azure.
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Sect says that Dragon Prince Mu Sheng has entered Qi Refining and invites you to assess his cultivation."
Hou Ni still wore a robe as black as ink that enveloped his entire body, revealing only his aged head. He respectfully answered his king's question.
All of Heaven Pool's dealings with outsiders were now handled by this Subduing Earth Demon King, including its contact with Eastern Azure.
"In that case, I may as well go."
Xu Xuan's interest stirred. He had long wished to visit Eastern Azure and see it for himself. Originally, he had intended to wait for an opportunity and use visiting his son as an excuse, but Eastern Azure had extended the invitation first.
Dragon King Cave Azure... just what sort of being is he?
In recent years, he had frequently entered Deep Abyss and learned many secrets from Vast Marsh.
That Heavenly Dreary Sea Dragon Lord should not have left any direct descendants in the world. After all, the Dragon Lord had undergone reincarnation at least twice.
"We leave immediately. You will accompany me."
Xu Xuan's tone deepened slightly. Yang Yuanxin was still overseeing affairs in Heaven Pool, so there was no need to worry.
