Lady Jade River

Get into the sedan chair.

Fang Zelin looked at the seahorse pulling the sedan chair with a hint of curiosity.

Putting everything else aside, this seahorse is quite beautiful.

Upon seeing Fang Zelin get into the sedan chair, the fish demon immediately turned and walked towards the Yongding River.

I've already given instructions to the two demons and the medicine boy.

There's not much to worry about at home.

Once the sedan chair entered the river, it remained perfectly clean inside; no river water had seeped in.

Fang Zelin looked up and saw several precious pearls adorning the sedan chair; he wasn't sure if they were water-repelling pearls.

The sedan chair was already filled with plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as a pot of wine.

It's likely all for Fang Zelin to pass the time on his journey.

Fang Zelin wasn't particularly interested in these things. When he lifted the curtain to look, he immediately saw the grand spectacle at the bottom of the river, which was even larger than what he had seen before.

I didn't see it up there before, probably because there wasn't enough space to set up such a grand display up there.

Jing River Dragon Palace.

At this moment, countless Aquatic Race from the tributaries and great rivers flocked in.

The entire Jing River area instantly became bustling with activity.

Among the fish demons coming and going, many of them only had half of their human form, with a human body topped with a fish head, which looked quite strange.

There are also some dragons that can be seen from time to time.

Aquatic Race, which were not very common in the past, are now ubiquitous here.

The entire Dragon Palace was filled with a joyous atmosphere, as if it were celebrating the New Year.

All arriving guests were greeted by dedicated attendants and then led into the Dragon Palace.

"There are so many Dragon Race here today."

A fish demon glanced around, then quickly lowered its head, seemingly afraid to openly look around.

Upon hearing this, his companion nodded in agreement, deeply moved.

"Yes, I heard it's because the Second Prince obtained the body of True Dragon, attracting many Dragon Race who all want to come and investigate how he did it. I heard that given the Second Prince's abilities and age, it's absolutely impossible for him to succeed at this time."

"If they could find out how the Second Prince did it, perhaps the other dragons could do it too."

Amidst the whispers, one dragon after another appeared.

At this moment, the Dragon Palace was bustling with activity.

"Dragon Lord, how exactly did Yunqing Qing manage to overcome the tribulation and achieve this state? Can't you explain in detail?"

Dragon Race from all over flocked to the area, all wanting to know how Meng Yunqing had managed to do it.

All of this is in order to obtain the body of True Dragon and truly embark on the path of cultivation.

This is especially important to them.

Looking at his fellow clansmen on either side, the Dragon King suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He also knew what his people were thinking.

But this is something you can't just say casually.

That person is an immortal!

What if I casually blurt it out and upset the other person?

Moreover, the other party had just helped his child escape a calamity; how could he possibly betray them now?

"Gentlemen, it's not that I'm unwilling to tell you, but this matter is confidential, so please don't ask."

After the words were spoken, the Dragon Palace fell silent.

Just a moment later, the woman who had been kneeling upright in her palace dress had a sorrowful expression on her pretty face.

"Brother, although Yunqing and I are not much different in age, I am still his elder. Now he has overcome his tribulation and obtained the body of True Dragon, while I am still in this state. How can I continue to be a dragon in the future?"

"In order to obtain the body of True Dragon, I must undergo a tribulation every three years. Each time I am struck by lightning and burned by fire, even though I am covered in wounds, I have never given up."

"But you can't get through this door. Can you bear to watch like this?"

The dragon maiden in palace attire looked sorrowful at this moment.

His words drew nods of agreement from his fellow clansmen.

Yes, all of them, these kinsmen, which one of them didn't suffer such torture time and time again to face calamity?

But all I got in return was repeated disappointment.

With Meng Yunqing's limited cultivation, it seems impossible for the other party to overcome the tribulation and achieve enlightenment.

They've been through this many times; how could they not understand the situation?

Now it's obvious that the other party must have found some shortcut or some special method.

Why can't we tell them?

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King fell silent for a moment.

Looking at his people, he sighed after a long while.

He knew that his people had a hard life and he really wanted to help them.

However, this concerns Fang Zelin, and it's not something he can just say casually.

If that immortal is unwilling, what can he do even if he tells them?

Angering the other party would be counterproductive.

Especially with so many members of the clan going together to bother that immortal, things would be even more troublesome.

"We are all of the same race. How could I not know the hardships you have endured?"

The Dragon King sighed and said, "When I faced my tribulation, I endured countless hardships before finally succeeding."

"If possible, I also hope that each of you can overcome this tribulation, but this matter cannot be lightly discussed, for even if it were, it would Wu Yong."

His words silenced all the members of his clan present.

A trace of sorrow appeared on the Lady Jade River's face, and the worry between her delicate brows seemed impossible to dispel.

From afar, she evokes a feeling of pity and tenderness in one's heart.

Even after she said those words, the Dragon King still didn't budge, so she knew that things weren't so simple.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have acted so heartlessly.

"Alright, you should all go back and take your seats."

Seeing this, the Dragon King felt a pang of pity and quickly urged him on.

The banquet is about to begin, and that person will be arriving soon. Tell these guys to hurry back and take their seats.

Whether they can see any signs of improvement in the future depends on themselves.

If they figured it out themselves, then they shouldn't be able to say anything to him.

Upon hearing this, Lady Jade River gracefully rose, offered a slight bow, and then departed.

Although she didn't achieve her goal, she didn't lose her manners.

"Come out."

Only after watching his clansmen retreat one by one did the Dragon King finally sigh.

After he called out to those behind him, Meng Yunqing cautiously stepped out.

Seeing that his elders had all left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his father helped him block the attack; if it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold out.

"Let's go, we'll go together to greet the Immortal Master. After you've brought him in, you can just stand aside and not draw too much attention, understand?"

The Dragon King gave him a word of advice, though he was still a little worried.

If Meng Yunqing were to overdo it and attract the attention of the other clansmen, the situation would become unfavorable, given the immortal's abilities.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yunqing immediately nodded, and then went with her father to the outside of the Dragon Palace.

Judging by the time, the immortal should have arrived by now.
