"Let's go to the Dragon Palace!"
After finishing some arrangements for the eighteen halls, Jiang Lin, along with the Seven-Colored Egg and Ao Bai, headed for the Dragon Palace.
He had initially expected them to go directly to the sea, where Ao Bai would open a passage to the Dragon Palace, parting the waters to reveal a path...
But in reality...
After Jiang Lin and the Seven-Colored Egg emerged from the underworld with Ao Bai, they saw Ao Bai look around and then stop above a small pond.
The pond was about ten meters in diameter and contained some water weeds and tadpoles.
Ao Bai extended a finger and gently tapped the calm water surface.
Ripples immediately spread out from her fingertips.
But miraculously, these ripples stopped after spreading about two meters wide.
Instead, they gradually formed a circular, flat mirror.
Within the mirror, the outlines of some buildings could be seen.
They were faint and not very clear.
Once done, Ao Bai clapped her claws and said to the ghost and dragon behind her:
"Alright, let's go."
Jiang Lin and the Seven-Colored Egg: "???"
Is that the Dragon Palace?
Just like that?
They're just going to enter like this?
As they entered the passage with Ao Bai, the ghost and dragon were still bewildered.
Given the pride of the dragon clan, shouldn't it be more imposing and magnificent?
Perhaps the dragon clan is actually quite low-key?
Just as he was thinking this, his eyes were blinded the next second.
—It was dazzlingly golden.
Everything was shiny.
Buildings of gold and glazed tiles, retaining ancient structures like pavilions, eaves, and corridors.
The decorations along the roadside were also various exotic flowers and plants.
Occasionally, a shining night-blooming pearl could be spotted among them.
Even the soldiers standing guard and patrolling on both sides had clothes that reflected a strange light.
"Greetings, Thirteenth Princess."
"Greetings, Thirteenth Princess."
Some maids carrying wooden boxes passed by, and they all stopped to greet Ao Bai.
As they paid their respects, one could see that their waists and hair were adorned with pearl ornaments.
As beautiful as they were...
They were just too dazzling.
Of course, compared to the entire shimmering background, these two pearls were like the light of fireflies.
"Quick, this way!"
Ao Bai, back in the Dragon Palace, was ecstatic. The entire dragon seemed to have come alive again.
As she swam, she stirred up rows of tiny bubbles.
In fact, it wasn't just Ao Bai; the Seven-Colored Egg felt similarly.
Although it was just a small bone dragon, ever since entering here.
Something within its body seemed to be gradually awakening and leaping.
And...
While keeping up with its master, the Seven-Colored Egg couldn't help but look towards the tallest and grandest glazed palace.
It always felt as if something there was attracting it.
A strong sense of belonging arose spontaneously.
—This is the Dragon Palace. It's where generations of dragons have grown!
And it, too, should be a member of this place.
Unknowingly, the Seven-Colored Egg's swimming speed increased, gradually flying ahead of Jiang Lin.
It frolicked and tumbled with Ao Bai.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin, while keeping an eye on the Seven-Colored Egg's movements, observed his surroundings.
Unlike the other two dragons, Jiang Lin only felt a strong sense of pressure converging from all directions.
In a daze,
It felt as if something was watching him from afar, in secret.
However, Jiang Lin wasn't overly nervous.
Firstly, he had reported his arrival to Lord Yama.
Secondly, there were the words of that angler.
Even if the dragon clan was beyond the three realms, they couldn't openly oppose them.
Since the propagator's identity held a certain role and status in both the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld, he should also have some presence in the Dragon Palace.
Of course...
There was still a possibility of exceptions.
For example, as Ao Bai had mentioned, the place where the Dragon Ancestor resided.
If that being was still alive, perhaps with a flick of its claw, it could easily erase others from existence.
