After all, this isn't some primitive world, and there's none of that Western practice of forcibly converting people. The Buddhas and immortals here all have profound attainments in philosophy and various personal paths.
Communicating with these people might even help you understand your destiny and enhance your own strength.
For example, the result of communicating with Lao Tzu about the power of Yin and Yang was that she could sense that she seemed to be making rapid progress on the path to balance.
Although not as powerful as the Envoy, he is definitely superior to the average Fate Walker.
Guanyin was somewhat concerned as she watched Bai Zhi float away.
But after thinking about it, Angelica dahurica didn't affect too many things; there were many variables involved.
For example, if the monkey were to go to heaven to ask for help, it wouldn't be a fixed person; all the immortals would rely on their own abilities.
"The Western Sea... should be in this direction."
Standing in the air, Bai Zhi determined her location and headed towards the West Sea.
Meanwhile, in the West Sea, the Dragon King was somewhat agitated because he was worried about his third son.
Although he had no choice but to send the child up to heaven because his third son had broken the precious pearl bestowed upon him by the heavenly court.
But that was because there was no other choice.
Although the dragon race has declined to this point, it still reigns supreme over the four seas; in any case, it is still the emperor of the water.
The heavens are also quite dissatisfied with the dragon race. If they find a pretext to accuse the dragon race of disrespecting the heavenly court, then they're doomed.
"Reporting, Your Majesty the Dragon King, a celestial being has arrived."
A crab general rushed in and shouted loudly.
"Hmm? Which immortal is it this time? Tell me in detail, and have someone bring out the food that immortal likes."
The Dragon King of the West Sea said he was already very familiar with this.
Maintaining good relationships with the immortals is an essential part of the Dragon Palace.
"Reporting to the Dragon King, the immortals who have come this time are not the ones we are familiar with."
"Not a well-known immortal? Has that person ever said who they are?"
The Dragon King of the West Sea found it rather strange, as the Dragon Palace rarely encountered unfamiliar immortals, given its intelligence gathering and social skills.
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Dragon King, the visitor identifies himself as Bai Zhi, and is..."
Before the crab general could finish speaking, the Dragon King of the West Sea immediately said, "Bring up all the most delicious delicacies, and summon all the performers. I want to treat this distinguished guest to a good meal!"
The crab general was stunned; it was the first time he had ever seen his king treat a guest so highly.
Seeing the crab general still standing there in a daze, the West Sea Dragon King frowned. "What are you still standing there for? If you neglect our guests, then prepare to be dismissed and return to your original form!"
"Yes, yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
Crab General then realized what was happening and hurriedly ran back.
Chapter 696 The Dragon King's Decision
"Haha, welcome, True Lord, to my West Sea Dragon Palace! It truly brings honor to my humble abode."
Accompanied by numerous shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and the turtle prime minister, the Dragon King of the West Sea walked out of the Dragon Palace with a beaming smile to greet them.
"Dragon King, you are too kind. I have only been rudely disturbing you."
"Not at all. When True Lord led the heavenly soldiers and generals to suppress that unruly monkey, he displayed the glory of our Dragon Clan. If I weren't afraid of disturbing True Lord, I would have paid a visit long ago."
"You're too kind, Dragon King. This achievement is also due to the efforts of all the soldiers, and with the help of Laozi, we were able to accomplish this feat."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, the Dragon King of the West Sea's smile grew even brighter.
Listen to how they talk.
He's so capable, yet he speaks so humbly. If it were that monkey or some deity, they would probably be arrogant and haughty by now.
"My Lord, there's no need for you to be so modest. Please come in with me. The banquet is ready soon, and we're just waiting for you to take your seat."
The Dragon King of the West Sea smiled and led Bai Zhi into the Dragon Palace.
To be honest, Bai Zhi quite liked the style of the Dragon Palace, perhaps because the Wisdom Master of Luofu himself had an affinity for water.
Moreover, compared to the majestic but dull style of the Heavenly Court, the Dragon Palace appears slightly more lively and vibrant.
Upon entering, rows of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, armed with weapons, saluted in unison.
The reception room was also set with a table full of delicious food, and many beautiful sea creature girls kept bringing out more.
"Please sit down, True Lord. Resources in the sea are scarce and cannot compare to the immortal peaches and fruits of Heaven. I hope you will not find them unappealing."
The Dragon King of the West Sea said with a smile.
"Why do you say that, Dragon King? Although these peaches and immortal fruits are precious, your friendship is the most important thing."
Bai Zhi accepted the invitation and sat down, enjoying the delicious seafood while chatting with the Dragon King of the West Sea.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the Dragon King of the West Sea cautiously asked, "What brings you to my Dragon Palace, True Lord?"
After all, given Bai Zhi's identity, her sudden visit to his Dragon Palace couldn't possibly be just for a meal.
"It's nothing serious. I'm sure the Dragon King knows that the monkey has escaped and become one of the pilgrims."
"Oh, of course I know. I've heard that you have some connection with the Great Sage in Heaven?"
"The Dragon King's information network is truly impressive. Indeed, this monkey was released these past few days, and as his friend, I went to see him off. However, during that time, I happened to run into your son."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King looked somewhat nervous. Could it be that his unfortunate son had offended this person?
"Ahem, True Lord, I have no other hobbies but I enjoy making many friends. My son is young and ignorant. If he has offended you, I am willing to apologize."
"It's nothing serious, it's just that they ate the pilgrims' horse and were called a 'wild dragon in the mountains' by chance."
Upon hearing this, the West Sea Dragon King's vision went black. "My goodness! How can you be so good at creating trouble?"
He smashed the precious pearl bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Court, and then called the True Lord a country bumpkin...
"This unfilial son... True Lord, I am here..."
Just as the Dragon King of the West Sea was about to apologize, Bai Zhi interrupted him, "Hehe, Dragon King, there's no need to worry. I can understand your son's pride; after all, I'm young too."
"Ahem, yes."
The Dragon King of the West Sea glanced at Bai Zhi but didn't dare say anything.
Although Bai Zhi looks very young now, it is well known that appearance is never a problem for immortals.
And Bai Zhi's abilities are only for a young person?
He simply doesn't believe it.
“I spoke with your son, and he gave me this, hoping that I would give it to the Dragon King.”
Bai Zhi took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant and placed it on the table.
"oh?!"
The Dragon King of the West Sea quickly accepted the jade pendant.
Suddenly, a burst of light appeared. The Dragon King of the West Sea was first taken aback, then looked at Bai Zhi with some disbelief.
This jade pendant contains a message from his third son, who carefully explained his encounter with Bai Zhi and emphasized Bai Zhi's ability.
This greatly shocked the Dragon King of the West Sea.
The four Dragon Kings of the seas have always been heartbroken by the decline of the dragon race.
But his son said that Angelica dahurica helped him develop more potential and uncover many of his legacy.
This is simply incredible.
Unlocking this potential is no easy task, after all, the number of dragons is not small, and there are also those who transformed by leaping over the dragon gate.
"True Lord..."
The Dragon King of the West Sea found it difficult to speak.
He didn't know how to make some requests to Bai Zhi.
"Dragon King, please don't stand on ceremony. Say whatever you want to say."
Bai Zhi smiled. She had guessed what the jade pendant's effect was, which was why she came over.
Otherwise, how can we visit the Dragon Clan's treasure vault?
"Thank you, True Lord... This jade pendant contains some words that my son wants to say to me, and it also mentions your ability. I just don't know... if you could tell me more about it."
"Oh, it's quite simple, it's just about tapping into the potential of the dragon race."
Although he had been looking forward to it, the West Sea Dragon King was still somewhat shocked when Bai Zhi actually admitted it.
But then he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Is this a good ability?
That would be great, he couldn't be happier if Bai Zhi used that power on him.
Do I have doubts? To be honest, I do have some doubts, but Bai Zhi's feat of reviving Erlang Shen's mother is still fresh in my mind.
He's a highly skilled player with a proven track record.
Compared to resurrecting a deity whose soul has been scattered, tapping into the potential of the dragon race is not a particularly earth-shattering thing.
But here's the question: if he wants Bai Zhi to help the Dragon Clan unlock the potential of some of their younger members, what price would he need to pay?
As a shrewd and calculating person, he wouldn't use abstract and absurd reasons like the future of the dragon race to morally blackmail others.
That would not only fail to achieve the goal, but could also backfire and alienate the other party.
The Dragon King of the West Sea gritted his teeth, "True Lord, could you please help my juniors...?"
"Of course you can, Old Dragon King, there's no need for that. After all, we are all of the same kind, so it's not unreasonable for you to lend a hand."
The Dragon King of the West Sea opened his mouth slightly, somewhat surprised that Bai Zhi had agreed so easily.
But he wasn't stupid. Although Bai Zhi didn't mention any reward, he still had to follow the rules of conduct.
"We, the entire Dragon Clan, are deeply grateful that the True Lord is willing to lend a hand."
"Moreover, such a secret technique must consume a lot of resources. Although my dragon clan is in decline, we still have many secret treasures. True Lord, you can come with me and take any of them at will."
The Dragon King of the West Sea gritted his teeth and made this decision.
Money is inanimate, but people are alive. The wise choice is to transform inanimate objects into real strength.
Chapter 697 Dragon's Reverse Scale
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!!"
The Four Dragon Kings have all gathered together. After checking on the condition of their younger relatives, they repeatedly expressed their surprise.
At first, when the Dragon King of the West Sea contacted them, they were quite skeptical, as it sounded rather unbelievable.
If it weren't for Bai Zhi's previous record, they would have really taken it as a joke.
But once they brought the person over and Bai Zhi unlocked their potential, they had no more doubts.
"True Lord, I am deeply grateful!!"
The Dragon King of the East Sea excitedly cupped his hands in greeting. This time, Bai Zhi had tapped into the potential of the descendants of 12 Dragon Kings, providing three for each Dragon King.
It can be said that the next generation of the Four Seas Dragon Clan is basically secure.
“Ao Guang, it’s not enough to just say thank you. Now that the four of us are together, we should open the treasure vault for the True Lord and find some precious items to reward him.”
"Haha, that's right, that's right. We must repay the True Lord's kindness."
After saying this, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, took out a key from his person, and the other Dragon Kings also took out a key.
When the four keys are put together, a space opens up in front of Bai Zhi.
Just a glance is enough to see the glittering jewels emanating from it.
"True Lord, please come with us."
The Dragon King of the East Sea extended an invitation.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
