I am a living immortal.

There was absolutely no sign or foreshadowing.

As the saying goes, things are unpredictable. Even Xuan Mo couldn't help but sigh, and then resolutely joined this war. He had heard Su Mu say that sooner or later, all of this was inevitable, unavoidable. So even if Su Mu was not around, Xuan Mo would not hesitate. Since he couldn't avoid it, it would be a good start, an opportunity.

However, Xuan Mo at this moment is not in the same state of mind as he was back then.

He was merely attending a meeting, enjoying the moment, and marveled at the vastness of the East China Sea. All aquatic creatures from around the world flocked here, causing the surface of the East China Sea to fluctuate for a long time, sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent.

The abundance of spiritual energy in the waters spawned countless fish. This meant that coastal towns enjoyed a bountiful harvest almost daily, with each net filled with plump, delicious fish. Rare and inexpensive fish were also readily available, eliminating the need to worry.

Of course, there are also some amazing stories of human-demon love that are talked about a lot. Anyway, the East China Sea is very lively now, of course, this liveliness does not refer to the sea surface, but the seabed.

Xuan Mo was wandering in the East China Sea when he felt a gaze. He looked up and saw the sky suddenly filled with rain, followed by the roar of dragons. Several giant dragons tumbled above the clouds.

Black scales rubbed against the clouds, thunder filled the air, and the entire area was covered in water vapor. This caused many beings in the East China Sea to look up, their eyes filled with envy. Jackie Chan was still in the pure-blooded dragon clan. This was the end point for all water creatures, but it was the starting point for others. The strength of these dragons was more than a level higher than that of any present.

What were these dragons about to do? Many aquatic creatures gathered around curiously. The one standing above the water was also a ruthless figure. Many of them had witnessed or heard that he had just skinned and stripped a dragon, crushing its bones and scattering its ashes. Was this going to be a good show? They watched silently.

Xuan Mo, motionless as he stared up at the sky, did recognize who those three were. It was quite a coincidence, but it was understandable. With all the dragons in the world descending upon the East China Sea, how could the Guangling River, one of the Nine Rivers and Eight Veins, be missing? He still remembered how Su Mu had pinned down and beaten those dragons. Time had passed, and so many years had passed. He had gone from a mere black carp to the Dragon King he was today, and that had something to do with that one person. That bit of true dragon blood had been a huge help. And these dragons were clearly less impetuous than they had been back then, their strength far surpassing that of a thousand-year-old dragon. After all, these three were direct descendants of the Guangling River. Estimated to be only two or three hundred years old, their strength easily surpassed that of a thousand-year-old dragon. With both talent and bloodline, they were the envy of all aquatic creatures. If they could find the opportunity to win the dragon's heart, becoming a true dragon was only a matter of time.

Indeed, these three dragons were none other than Cang Qi, Cang Zhen, and Cang Chi, the same dragons who had previously encountered the Guangling River lineage. And they had clearly recognized Xuan Mo. In truth, the three dragons hadn't wanted to meet him, after all, their father had once scolded them for being no better than a single fish. Now, that prophecy had come true; they truly were no better than a single fish. Back then, inspired by their father, they had practiced with all their might.

They must surpass Xuan Mo. They don’t believe that they are worse than a fish.

However, the next time they heard news about Xuan Mo was from their father. That day, his father looked at them as they practiced hard, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and they all felt a pang in their hearts.

Afterward, their father told them about Xuan Mo's achievement as Dragon King. He had made the leap to Dragon King in one single step, a truly remarkable feat. This was the reason the Dragon King of Guangling River hesitated. What he had said to the three of them was partly true, partly motivation. He knew the black carp was no ordinary creature, but he hadn't imagined this day would arrive so soon.

When the three heard this news, it was like a bolt from the blue, nearly causing their hearts to collapse. The reason they didn't collapse was, firstly, their own resilience, and secondly, it was simply too outrageous. It had only been a few years, and while being crushed was difficult, being attacked by a dimensionality reduction wasn't as painful, because they clearly understood that they weren't beings from the same dimension.

This made them feel much better. They were also surprised by this meeting. Although all the dragons in the world had come to the East China Sea, it was still very vast. But they couldn't just pretend they didn't see it. Just be a junior, and the strong are respected. There's no shame in that.

So the group of water creatures saw the three dragons circling and transforming into human form and coming in front of Xuan Mo, bowing and saying, "Hello again, Senior."

Three young men bowed to a child as if they were younger, and Xuan Mo followed suit. He raised his hand to help the three of them up and asked, "Is your father here too?"

"Not yet. Father has something important to attend to, so he ordered the three of us to go ahead."

Xuan Mo nodded and smiled, "Don't be so formal, and don't address me as senior. Just call me Xuan Mo. Actually, I owe my achievements to your father."

As the eldest brother, Cang Qi immediately replied, "That's because you are incredibly talented. Otherwise, even having the blood of a real dragon would be of no use."

Xuan Mo ended his business exaggeration and said with a smile: "Since we have met, let's go together."

The three nodded and followed Xuan Mo as he introduced them. The puppet curiously examined the three dragons. The three dragons smiled back at the large group. This encounter was much more harmonious than expected, without any awkwardness. Xuan Mo didn't act like an elder, but treated them like peers, instantly dispelling any remaining concerns.

Now the aquatic people became even more curious about the identity of this person.

The identity of the Black Ink Dragon King is generally unknown to the rest of the aquatic community, except for those of his own level. His roots are shallow, his reputation unknown, and even now, it's been less than a century since he became a dragon. Furthermore, he's been mostly invisible, which has led to the aquatic community's complete lack of recognition.

Traveling with Cang Qi and the others would make them much more conspicuous. After all, Cang Qi and the others weren't as low-key as Xuan Mo, and they wouldn't be low-key either. The dragon's powerful presence made them easily recognizable to most water creatures. In fact, pure-blooded dragons were rare in the Jiujiang Eight Veins, as for a pure-blooded dragon to be born, both parties had to be dragons, and of considerable strength.

This is even more difficult. Most of the time, dragons are hybridized with various creatures. Even if they are real dragons, the dragon bloodlines of the hybrids can vary. Therefore, pure dragons are rare among aquatic creatures, representing a symbol of status.

So there is no need to be low-key. Besides, the dragon clan is extremely proud, so how can they be low-key?
