More than a month later, by the shores of the North Sea, waves came from the depths of the sea, hand in hand, carrying snowy-white foam as they rushed toward the reef-lined shore. When they drew near, the foam surged eagerly toward the reefs. Yet all the reefs gave them was hard, cold indifference. The foam shattered the instant it struck the rocks; its passion, sustained for only a few breaths, was swallowed once more by the seawater. As the water slowly receded, the sound of "whoosh, whoosh..." was like wave after wave of weeping.
At this moment, the sun was setting again. Orange-gold sunlight spread across the water, lending that snowy white a touch of dazzling beauty. With a boom, a towering wave erupted from the sea, and an enormous dragon wearing a dragon crown soared forth. Beneath the sunlight, dragon scales several feet wide gleamed with kaleidoscopic colors across its body! The instant this giant dragon burst from the sea, an imposing aura roared outward in all directions. Not only did the fish and shrimp in the sea cower, even the eager waves that had repeatedly dashed against the reefs quietly retreated, no longer daring to act coquettishly.
Behind the giant dragon, a tall, lean human figure also flew out of the sea. Though this figure was not particularly imposing, he stood straight and proud, a faint smile resting between his brows. Those sharply slanted eyebrows and slender phoenix eyes—was he not True Person Xiao Hua?
After flying out over the sea, Xiao Hua swept his divine sense toward the reefs. A moment later, he smiled and said, "So we have arrived at the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons. Thank you, immortal friend, for escorting me ten thousand miles. This Xiao is deeply grateful!"
