Looking at Haotian's appearance, Yao Chi suddenly felt that he had become a stranger. Compared to when they were in the Purple Cloud Palace, Haotian seemed to have changed into a different person. Now, Haotian had become ambitious and had a strong desire to control power, acting like an emperor.
Seeing that Haotian could not be dissuaded, Yao Chi asked, "Since you are going to conquer the Dragon Tribe, what are you going to do? Although the Dragon Tribe has declined a lot, I'm afraid it's not easy to conquer them. Besides, if they join the Celestial Court, how will they deal with the karma they bear and how will the Sages react? Have you thought about all these?"
Haotian replied confidently, "Of course I have the confidence to persuade the Dragon Tribe. As for the Sages, although conquering the Dragon Tribe of the Four Seas will attract their attention, it doesn't infringe on their interests. After all, we are the masters of the Celestial Court appointed by Daozu. They can't do anything to us."
Yao Chi thought about it and felt that Haotian's words made sense. Haotian conquering the Dragon Tribe did not infringe on the interests of the Sages, and they had Hongjun Daozu behind them. Even if the Sages were dissatisfied, they would have some scruples and would not embarrass the Celestial Court openly. If they embarrassed the Celestial Court, it would be equivalent to embarrassing Hongjun Daozu.
… ….
The East Sea Crystal Palace was still splendid compared to tens of thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, the Dragon Tribe was not the same as before. The Four Seas were vast and boundless, but with the current strength of the Dragon Tribe, it was already good enough to control one-tenth of it.
In the Crystal Palace, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas gathered here. The four dragons were brothers, namely Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Ming, the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Run, and the Dragon King of the North Sea, Ao Shun. They were all Taiyi Golden Immortals. It was not that there was no Daluo Jinxian in the Dragon Tribe, but that the Dragon Tribe did not dare to bring out the Daluo Jinxian level dragons.
Ever since the Longhan Cultivation Tribulation, Daluo Jinxian level dragons had suffered casualties from time to time. They were either accidents or man-made. In order to preserve the last bit of vitality of the Dragon Clan, the remaining dozen or so Daluo Jinxian level dragons had all gone into closed-door cultivation. The Dragon Clan was also handed over to Ao Guang and his brothers.
Since then, the Dragon Clan had been cautious and no longer fought with other clans easily. This also caused the Dragon Clan to be unable to control the Four Seas like before even though they were still the strongest in the Sea of Consciousness. As a result, the Four Seas were divided.
Now that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had gathered together, it was also because something big had happened in the Dragon Clan. In the Dragon Clan, the experts at the level of Daluo Jinxian had now retreated behind the scenes, and considered themselves as elders. If there was no big matter in the Dragon Clan, they generally would not come out. But now, even in the place where they were in seclusion, something big had happened.
Ao Run looked at his big brother Ao Guang's solemn expression and asked anxiously, "Big brother, what happened? Why did you call us over in such a hurry?" The four brothers lived separately in the Four Seas. Normally, if there was no big matter, Ao Guang would not ring the alarm bell and call them over.
Ao Guang said with a worried expression, "The Great Elder suffered Qi Deviation when breaking through to the Quasi-saint realm, causing his body to explode and die. The Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder could not escape in time and also died. The other elders were also injured. If this matter were to spread, I'm afraid the Water Clan of the Four Seas would make a move. That's why I hurriedly called you over to discuss countermeasures."
Ao Ming was the Crimson Fire Dragon King, and his temper was the most fiery. When he heard this news, he slammed the table and said angrily, "Damn it, our Dragon Clan has already withdrawn from the Great Desolation and will forever rule the Four Seas. Why can't this karma be cleared? For tens of thousands of years, how many experts of our Dragon Clan have died because of this karma? Do you really want to destroy our Dragon Clan?"
The North Sea Dragon King, Ao Shun, was the incarnation of the White Dragon. He was good at controlling ice, snow, rain, and snow. He was also the calmest person. He immediately said, "Big brother, we should immediately block the news and arrange for the elders to walk around the clan. At the same time, we should also show our strength to the Four Seas to avoid any more trouble."
Ao Guang sighed and said, "I've already done this, but the Great Elder's self-destruction caused too much of a commotion. I'm afraid we can only hide it for a while. This time, our Dragon Clan has lost three Daluo Jinxian. I'm afraid some Water Clan will make a move after hearing this."
After hearing this, the three dragons fell silent. At this time, Ao Ming said, "Big brother, you don't have to worry too much about this. Even if we lose three elders, our Dragon Clan's strength is still there. The Water Clan of the Four Seas will not make a big move. Our top priority is to think of a way to pay off the karma as soon as possible. Otherwise, our Dragon Clan's experts will definitely be wiped out in the long run."
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas fell silent. They had thought of countless ways to deal with this matter, but they could not come up with any countermeasures. The best way to offset the karma was to repay it with merit. However, although the Great Desolation was great, where was the merit waiting for their Dragon Clan to get?
"Since you have no way, why don't you let me show you the way?" A domineering voice suddenly sounded in the Crystal Palace. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were shocked. This time, they were discussing in secret. They had already set up a spell to prevent others from hearing anything. Now that someone had suddenly barged in, they were naturally shocked.
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas stood up and looked around, but they did not find any trace of anyone. Ao Guang asked, "Who are you? Why did you barge into our Crystal Palace? But since you are here, why don't you show yourself? "
The intruder was able to sneak in without triggering the spell. He must be an expert. After all, the Crystal Palace was built by Zu Long. There were countless spells in the palace. Even Daluo Jinxian could not do this. Then, the intruder was very likely to be a peerless expert at the level of Quasi-saint. Ao Guang did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse for such an expert to come to the Dragon Clan.
Suddenly, a Dark Light Mirror appeared in front of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. In the mirror, there was a person sitting on the dragon throne. Ao Guang and the other three were immediately shocked. This person called himself "Emperor". Now, in the Great Desolation, only the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court, Hao Tian could call himself that.
Seeing this, Ao Guang bowed and said, "So it is the Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Court. Greetings. But it is not good for the Celestial Emperor to spy on us with a magic treasure." Hao Tian was so rude that Ao Guang was naturally unhappy.
In the Lingxiao Palace of the Celestial Court, the Hao Tian Mirror in front of Hao Tian showed the images of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. Hearing Ao Guang's dissatisfied tone, Hao Tian was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "This is indeed my fault. But I had no choice. Please forgive me."
After hearing this, Ao Ming asked, "Since the Celestial Emperor contacted us with such magic, you must have something important to discuss with us. What is it?" Ao Ming was very concerned about the Ming Lu that Hao Tian mentioned before.
Hao Tian smiled and said, "Now that the Celestial Court is short of manpower, I would like to invite the Dragon King to join us and take charge of the Great Desolation. What do the four of you think?" Seeing the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas change their expressions, Hao Tian's smile deepened.
When the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas heard this, their expressions changed. If the Celestial Emperor joined them, it meant that the Dragon King of the Four Seas would submit to the Celestial Court. This made the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas very conflicted. However, taking charge of the Great Desolation was a good job to gain merit for a long time. This way, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas could quickly clear the Karma that the Dragon King of the Four Seas still had to bear. Between the pros and cons, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas suddenly hesitated.
Seeing that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were a little moved, Hao Tian struck while the iron was hot and said, "The Dragon King of the Four Seas will join us, and after that, you will still live in the Four Seas. I will make you the Master of the Four Seas, and the Water Tribes of the Four Seas will all belong to the Dragon King. If anyone dares to resist, I will send Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals to attack. What do you think?"
Hao Tian only wanted the Dragon King of the Four Seas. As for where the Dragon King of the Four Seas was, he did not care. He was not worried that the Dragon King of the Four Seas would rebel. He believed that with the intelligence of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, they would understand this. Therefore, Hao Tian did not need to guard against the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
Hao Tian's last words made the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas even more tempted. The Dragon King of the Four Seas was now only in name. However, with the conferment and support of the Celestial Court, the Dragon King of the Four Seas could expect the Dragon King of the Four Seas to regain control of the Four Seas. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were tempted.
Ao Guang and his brothers looked at each other, and then bowed to Hao Tian in the Dark Light Mirror, "Your Majesty, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are willing to represent the Dragon King of the Four Seas to submit to the Celestial Court. In the future, we will fulfill our duties and serve the Celestial Court faithfully." The path that Hao Tian pointed out was indeed the only way out for the Dragon King. Naturally, they would not let it go. Between the freedom of their race and their survival, they chose survival.
