Chapter 140 The Affairs of the Seven Luminaries State
He had lost count of how many times he had expressed envy to Feng Zichen.
It seemed that every time they met, Feng Zichen brought him new shocks, making the Water Dragon Venerable extremely envious.
That was the Pangu Inheritance!
Besides being the most supreme inheritance in the primordial world, it also represented the most orthodox identity.
To obtain the Pangu Inheritance was equivalent to gaining Pangu's approval and enjoying His legacy—what an astonishing opportunity!
However, while this item was indeed precious, it wasn't a unique innate spiritual treasure. It seemed that since Feng Zichen was willing to give it away, he must have a backup.
Therefore, the Water Dragon Venerable accepted it directly without refusing.
"Since it's a gift from you, fellow Daoist, then I'll accept it without hesitation. I must thank you very much, fellow Daoist; this item is of paramount importance to me." Accepting the Chaos Stone, and considering its usefulness, the Water Dragon Venerable thanked him.
"You're too kind, Dragon Lord. If you truly wish to thank me, please look after the Seven Luminaries Continent for me. I would be eternally grateful." Thinking of the Seven Luminaries Continent, Feng Zichen couldn't help but plan for its future.
The Seven Luminaries Continent was located in the East Sea, bordering the aquatic races. As a race that came from the land, the human race inevitably faced exclusion from the aquatic races.
If a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Dragon Clan were to step in and protect the human race, even the most arrogant aquatic races would likely not dare to harass them anymore.
"Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? The Dragon Clan and the human race are allies. Even without this, we will protect the Seven Luminaries Continent."
"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. His Majesty the Ancestral Dragon has issued an order that the human race in the East Sea will be treated the same as all aquatic races, without any discrimination."
Feng Zichen repeatedly mentioned the Seven Luminaries Continent and the Water Dragon Lord, thinking he was worried that the people of the Seven Luminaries Continent would be mistreated in the East Sea, quickly assured him.
"If that's truly the case!" Feng Zichen simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
If it weren't for the Yu clan's return to the human race to complain, he wouldn't have known that the human race's situation in the East Sea was so difficult.
Feng Zichen had always thought that with the Ancestral Dragon's orders in place, the people of the Seven Luminaries Continent would live a very peaceful life in the East Sea!
Unfortunately, he was wrong!
With the Ancestral Dragon's orders in place, although the aquatic races ostracized the human race, they never dared to go too far. But the dragon race was different.
Those young dragons, whether out of playfulness or curiosity, would come to wander around the vicinity of the Seven Luminaries Continent, and without them doing anything, storms would strike, causing everyone great suffering. Whether they had malicious intent or not, their behavior certainly caused trouble for the human race.
In the end, the human race was too weak and could only stand in the East Sea by relying on the name of the dragon race. Living under someone else's roof, dependent on their whims, how could the human race's experts possibly take action against these young dragons? They could only endure it.
Of course, Feng Zichen believed that the Water Dragon Lord might not know about these matters. After all, he was a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan and wouldn't often pay attention to the small Seven Luminaries Continent.
Seeing that Feng Zichen not only didn't relax after hearing his words, but instead showed a strange expression, the Water Dragon Lord understood immediately that something had happened in the Seven Luminaries Continent, and someone had come to complain.
"Fellow Daoist, is there something wrong with the Seven Luminaries Continent? Please speak frankly, and whoever dares to act recklessly, we will not tolerate it!" Fearing damage to the harmony between the two clans, the Water Dragon Lord immediately said.
"It's a small matter, Dragon Lord, you don't need to worry too much. Just keep an eye on it when you have nothing to do. I have to go and pay my respects to His Majesty the Ancestral Dragon, so I'll take my leave now." With that, Feng Zichen bowed and flew towards the Ancestral Dragon Temple.
"Alas, Fellow Daoist..." The Water Dragon Lord opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but seeing that Feng Zichen had left without looking back, he could only sigh helplessly and swallow his words.
After a moment's silence, the Water Dragon Lord released his divine sense, looking towards the Seven Luminaries Continent. The matter had been discussed to this point; it was clear there was a problem in the Seven Luminaries Continent. If he didn't go and investigate, it would damage their relationship.
Near the Seven Luminaries Continent, several young dragons were circling dozens of fishing boats, constantly swimming and occasionally spewing out torrential rain, causing the boats to sway this way and that.
Seeing the people on the boats scrambling around, these young dragons seemed quite satisfied with their actions, their faces showing excitement, completely disregarding the lives of those on board.
"You insolent fools! Who gave you the audacity to cause such a ruckus here?"
At this moment, the Water Dragon Lord's divine sense happened to sweep over, witnessing this scene. Enraged, he roared and extended a dragon claw, grabbing at the young dragons below.
No wonder Feng Zichen couldn't speak directly; this matter involved his own descendants, and it wouldn't be appropriate to speak about it directly. It was better for him to come and see for himself before deciding how to handle the situation.
"Ah..."
"It's Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! We were wrong! We will never dare to do it again!"
Suddenly pulled from the sea, these young dragons were stunned for a moment. Then, they sensed the vast and boundless divine power and immediately remembered the Ancestral Dragon's command. They all showed fear and apologized to the sky.
"Hmph! Wrong?"
"However, I didn't see it."
"However, you're quite capable of stirring up trouble and causing waves. What's the point of bullying humans here?"
"Perfect timing! I recently received news that a new batch of ferocious beast cubs has been born in the abyss. Why don't you go and compete with them to see if my dragon race's might is stronger, or if the ferocious beasts' might is greater?"
Enraged, the Water Dragon Lord was truly furious. Amidst the terrified cries of the young dragons, he directly threw them into the deep sea abyss.
There were many powerful dragons guarding the abyss. They wouldn't be in any real danger there, but they would inevitably suffer greatly.
With another wave of his hand, he righted the overturned fishing boat, rescued the human who had fallen into the water, and then glanced coldly at the nearby sea before withdrawing his divine sense and departing.
Only after the Water Dragon Lord had gone far away did the aquatic experts near the Seven Luminaries Continent relax and breathe a sigh of relief. The appearance of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal from the Dragon Clan had brought them immense pressure.
Recalling the Water Dragon Lord's warning gaze before leaving, many aquatic experts couldn't help but shudder, glancing at the Seven Luminaries Continent with slight apprehension, but dispelling any unpleasant thoughts they might have.
Some aquatic beings even planned to cultivate good relations with the humans, making more connections to try and curry favor with the Water Dragon Lord.
In the East Sea, the Dragon Clan was the ultimate authority, especially a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
In the distance, Feng Zichen sensed what had happened in the Seven Luminaries Continent and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The Water Dragon Lord's elaborate commotion was clearly a show for him. While it might seem like a publicity stunt, his purpose had been achieved, and there was no need to delve further.
The Dragon Clan would punish even their own members for the sake of humanity, let alone the Water Clan. This incident greatly enhanced humanity's standing in the East Sea, saving them a lot of trouble.
