Bai Liying's eyes revealed a hint of doubt.
With a smile, Zhang Jian spoke.
"It's just a small matter, we should stick to the original plan and use the Great Transposition Array of the Canal Dragon Palace to enter the Two Realms Region first!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly; actually, using the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate Array from the Tongshan Dao Lineage could achieve the same result.
However, Zhang Jian intentionally took advantage of this process to identify a location for the Zhang Family's Blessed Land Grotto Heaven along the way, hence did not use the direct method.
Canal Dragon Palace
Upon learning the intention of Zhang Jian and his partner, the Canal Dragon Monarch warmly welcomed the couple.
Coincidentally, the Canal Dragon Monarch and his spouse had also received an invitation to the Sea King Festival and were preparing to lead the Canal Dragon Palace's Dragon Offspring and Dragon Descendants to attend, thus everyone traveled together.
Two Realms River Dragon Palace.
The abundant water vapor enveloped the Great Transposition Array, surrounded by majestic powers of the Divine Dao and Demon Dao.
Demon Qi filled the sky.
A strict Spiritual Mechanism Forbidden Technique enveloped the surroundings of the Dragon Palace like a water net.
At this moment, a Demon General responsible for overseeing the Space Shifting Array of the Two Realms River spotted strands of spatial light emanating from the array and promptly reported to the Silver Dome Dragon King of the Two Realms River Dragon Palace.
Shortly thereafter, an intense and domineering Demon Qi surged from afar.
A towering Dragon God, 'young' in appearance and clad in a luxurious purple-gold Dragon Robe, emerged from the Demon Qi.
"Dragon King, Your Majesty!"
Witnessing this presence, the surrounding dozen Demon Generals with dense Demon Qi all saluted.
These Demon Generals possessed not weak Dao Practice, roughly with over a thousand years, even several thousands of years of practice as Water Race demons.
The Silver Dome Dragon King nodded calmly.
The Two Realms River Dragon Palace doesn't belong to the Sheji Divine Dao; it stands alone, naturally nurtured by the Heaven and Earth and occupied by a True Dragon faction.
The Two Realms River Dragon Palace also boasts profound connections, maintaining good relationships with Dragon Race factions in various lakes and seas.
At this moment, the Silver Dome Dragon King was already informed that the Eastern Continent Dragon Race would be passing through the Two Realms River Dragon Palace today.
Moments later, the Space Shifting Array of the Two Realms River intertwined with countless rays of light, and dozens of figures emerged from within.
Seeing the leading two figures, the Silver Dome Dragon King showed a slight surprise, then boldly declared.
"Brother Jin Ao, this king has long been waiting here for you!"
"Thank you for waiting patiently, Silver Dome Brother!"
Amidst the light, the Canal Dragon Monarch's voice of laughter was heard, and soon he introduced Zhang Jian beside him to the Silver Dome Dragon King, laughingly saying.
"Silver Dome Brother, let me introduce you. This is Lord of the Eastern Continent, Great Xia Emperor Brother Zhang; Brother Zhang is also an Inner Sect Elder of the Tongshan Dao Lineage. A distinguished guest, Silver Dome Brother, you must treat him with the utmost hospitality."
Out of surprise after hearing this, the Silver Dome Dragon King promptly responded.
"So, it is the arrival of the Lord of the Eastern Continent. This honors our Two Realms River Dragon Palace greatly. Everyone, please first enter the Dragon Palace for a talk. I have already prepared a feast at the Two Realms River Dragon Palace!"
With a smile, most of the Silver Dome Dragon King's gaze was still fixed on Zhang Jian.
As a neighbor, he naturally knew about the founding of Great Xia in the Eastern Continent.
At this moment, observing further, although this Lord of the Eastern Continent walked alongside the Canal Dragon Monarch, there was unmistakably a degree of admiration from the Canal Dragon Monarch toward this Eastern Continent Lord.
Thus, the group entered the Two Realms River Dragon Palace.
Zhang Jian didn't stay long at the Two Realms River Dragon Palace; he had other duties and left with Bai Liying the next day to head to Musan Province.
The Canal Dragon Monarch and Silver Dome Dragon King planned to proceed directly to Qingping Sea using the Space Shifting Array of the Two Realms River Dragon Palace.
Silver Dome Dragon King also intended to attend the Sea King Festival at Qingping Sea.
...
Two figures streaked through the air, heading directly to the nearby State Mansion.
On the way, Bai Liying laughed charmingly.
"Your Majesty, this Silver Dome Dragon King does seem interesting. In my view, the Silver Dome Dragon King might not necessarily be lesser than the Canal Dragon Monarch, possibly stronger, yet willingly acknowledges the Canal Dragon Monarch as his elder brother!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian laughed.
"Princess, you now count as a branch of the orthodox Dragon Race. It should be due to the influence of the orthodox Dragon Race; the Silver Dome Dragon King might slightly surpass the Canal Dragon Monarch in Dao Practice, but in terms of influence, the Canal Dragon Monarch might far exceed!"
"Those who have seen longevity don't mind being humble briefly. If lowering oneself could ensure the Two Realms River Dragon Palace isn't excluded by orthodox Dragon Race and smoothly participates in various orthodox Dragon Race market activities or groups for warmth, others, even Great Demons, would do so!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Liying's expression shifted.
"Do you mean that the Dragon King deliberately humbled himself before you, seeking to integrate into the orthodox Dragon Race and curry favor on both sides?"
"Curry favor on both sides? I'm afraid not necessarily!"
With a slight smile, Zhang Jian then looked at Bai Liying and said.
"Your father-in-law has already acquired the Dragon Body, and he should be aware of this?"
Hearing this, Bai Liying's exquisite face showed some helplessness as she said: "Ever since transforming into a Dragon, Father has been contemplating the Profound Nether Dragon Body and its Divine Techniques at Gao Lake Dragon Palace. I haven't seen him for a long time; even for this Sea King Festival, Father refused to participate!"
With a soft smile, Zhang Jian said.
"It's only natural for Father-in-law to familiarize himself with Divine Techniques after first acquiring the Profound Nether Dragon Body."
He then said: "I did hear Uncle Tie Xin mention that the status of Wild Dragons is extremely awkward; their relations with other Dragon Races in this realm aren't good, and they're also ostracized and targeted by Demon Race groups in the Barbaric Region, having a difficult time!"
The source of Dragon Races in this realm actually divides into three categories. One is under the Sheji Divine Dao Lineage, belonging to the Divine Dao, with Qingping Sea Dragon Monarch and Celestial Wind Sea Dragon Race taking the lead.
