I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 829 Golden Court Sea Mansion
The three-pointed double-edged sword instantly shone brightly, flew out of his hand, and transformed into thousands of blade lights that pierced the sky, landing in front of Xia Daoming and blocking his path.

Almost simultaneously, Mingmo revealed its massive true form as a sea dragon, stirring up clouds that stretched for thousands of miles. It raised its dragon claws high, carrying surging sea power, and slammed them down hard on Xia Daoming's back.

Seeing this, Xia Daoming had no choice but to stamp his foot and accept the challenge.

More than 100,000 miles away, deep in the ocean.

This sea area is completely different from the outside world. The water color changes from dark blue to clear gold. The layers of water pressure are tamed by an invisible force, as if they are still.

Instead of the usual silt and reefs, the seabed is filled with crystal-clear coral mountains, arranged in a staggered pattern and connected by long jade bridges. The water flows gently beneath the bridges, like an imperial road.

Deepest within, a majestic dragon palace lies.

The palace was built on a foundation of ancient, cold jade and its walls were made of gilded sea crystal. The halls and pavilions were layered upon each other, with soaring eaves. Above them hung pearls that emitted a soft glow, illuminating the entire seabed as if it were daytime. Before the palace gate, two rows of sea generals stood with halberds in hand, their auras calm and steady, all of them possessing the cultivation of a Golden Immortal in the Condensation Dao stage.

Inside the main hall of the Dragon Palace, golden light flowed and water rippled like a curtain.

On the high seat, a middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon robe exuded an air of majesty; he was none other than Dui Che, the Lord of the Golden Court Sea Prefecture.

His face looked slightly gloomy as he sat upright in the main seat.

Below, on the left and right sides, sat two powerful sea creatures, one tall and slender with a cold face, and the other burly with faint water ripples around him. They were the two marshals of the Golden Court Sea Palace.

On the opposite side, in the guest seat, sat a short, stocky old man carrying a tortoise shell on his back.

The old man had an ancient face, half-closed eyes, and an unfathomable aura. Although he did not show any sharpness, he carried a sense of steadiness and weight.

This old man is none other than the Golden Turtle Prime Minister of the West Sea Dragon Palace, Ao Yuan.

Although there was singing and dancing in the hall, the atmosphere was not relaxed.

Dui Che put down the jade cup in his hand, sighed, and said, "Prime Minister Ao, you've come at the right time. I've been feeling quite stifled as the prefect all these years."

Ao Yuan slightly raised his eyes, his voice slow: "Is the matter of West Gold Mountain that the Lord of the Prefecture is referring to?"

Dui Che nodded, his face growing increasingly grim.

"Exactly."

"Since that person's return, Xijinshan has become increasingly arrogant. They were relatively restrained at first, but now they are pressing forward step by step. They have not only swallowed up the surrounding immortal island forces, but also carved out some sea areas that originally belonged to my Jinting Sea Mansion, and driven out all the troops stationed in my Sea Mansion."

He sneered, his voice filled with suppressed anger, and continued, "The White Tiger Clan of West Golden Mountain, relying on the Empress's return to power, has become increasingly reckless. They even dared to obstruct my Dragon Palace's patrol envoys and even fought with them."

The left marshal said in a deep voice, "If we continue to back down, I'm afraid the land and sea of ​​Jintinghai Prefecture will all have to obey the orders of Xijinshan!"

Dui Che did not agree, but instead looked at Ao Yuan.

"Prime Minister, what is the opinion of the West Sea Dragon Palace on this matter?"

"The Heavenly Court has a rule that my Dragon Palace governs the sea. No matter how domineering that one of the Western Golden Mountains is, he can only make the sea area near the land immortal island his own territory according to the rules, but he still cannot touch the vast and deep sea world."

"Speaking of which, after the great battle of the Western Golden Mountain Empress, she disappeared. The Western Golden Mountain gathered its strength, and we took the opportunity to expand. Now that she has returned to power, it is only natural that she wants to reclaim her former territory."

Upon hearing this, Dui Che frowned and said, "According to the Prime Minister's meaning, then let Xijinshan run rampant!"

Ao Yuan glanced at Dui Che and said, "That person is an ancient evil star who mainly cultivates Geng metal killing techniques. Even if he is reborn as a human with a bit of true spirit and returns to Xijin Mountain, he is far from what he used to be. It is even more distant for him to regain the position of returning to the source. But he is not someone who can be easily provoked!"

"If we really go to war with Xijin Mountain, not only will your Jintinghai Mansion be unable to bear it, but I'm afraid our entire Xihai will not be able to have peace and will suffer a great loss of vitality."

"not to mention--"

He paused slightly as he said this.

"The Dragon King is currently in seclusion."

Dui Che was greatly shocked, and his expression shifted: "But... could it be that I'm trying to break through to that next step?"

Ao Yuan nodded slowly.

The hall fell silent.

The Realm of Returning to the Origin is the level among Golden Immortals who truly touch the origin of the Great Dao. Once one steps into it, not only does one's strength increase dramatically, but it also signifies a qualitative change in one's status among various forces. Even the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court treats Golden Immortals who have returned to the Origin with utmost respect and dares not be negligent.

After a long while, Dui Che's eyes flickered, and he slowly said, "If the Dragon King successfully breaks through to the next realm..."

Ao Yuan said calmly, "It won't be too late to talk about Xijin Mountain then."

He raised his head and looked at Dui Che: "Therefore, before that, Jin Ting Haifu should prioritize stability and refrain from launching a major war."

"Of course, the Empress is no longer the Empress of the past, and Xijin Mountain is no longer the Xijin Mountain of the past. Even if the Dragon King cannot break through this realm, my Four Seas Dragon Palace is of one lineage and is thriving. It is not a place where Xijin Mountain can act recklessly and domineeringly!"

"If Xijinshan continues to expand recklessly after reclaiming its former territory, and even encroaches on the important sea areas of Jinting Sea Palace, then it will not be too late for you to report to the Dragon King."

Dui Che was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I understand."

The words had barely left his mouth—

The entire Dragon Palace suddenly trembled slightly.

It wasn't a physical vibration, but rather a fluctuation from the energy of heaven and earth; the people in the hall looked up almost simultaneously.

Dui Che's gaze sharpened, and his divine sense instantly extended outward, piercing through layers of water and pointing straight into the distance.

The next moment, his expression changed slightly.

"Such a strong fluctuation!"

The left marshal frowned and said, "This doesn't seem like an ordinary fight."

The marshal on the right said coldly, "At least at the level of myriad laws."

"Lord Duiche, it's rather unusual that there are Golden Immortals fighting near your Dragon Palace in the Golden Court Sea!"

Ao Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise and doubt. He twirled his two long, drooping beards and slowly said.

"This is indeed unusual!"

Dui Che slowly rose to his feet, his robes fluttering even without wind.

"Would Prime Minister Ao be interested in coming with me to take a look?"

"Hehe, it's good to go and take a look!"

Ao Yuan then stood up.

Soon, Dui Che and Ao Yuan walked out of the main hall side by side, followed closely by the two marshals.

Then, outside the Dragon Palace, the water flowed apart.

Four powerful auras soared into the sky, heading straight for the source of the energy fluctuations.

The moment the four auras soared into the sky from the underwater dragon palace, the energy of the entire sea area seemed to be suddenly torn open.

Even though they were more than 100,000 miles apart, the four powerful auras belonging to the Golden Immortals of Myriad Laws still swept over them like an invisible wave.

"not good!"

Xia Daoming's heart sank suddenly, and his aura exploded completely.

"kill--!"

A fierce roar shook the sea and sky.

The five True Water Divine Weapons were activated to their limits almost simultaneously. The water power between the sky and the sea was forcibly drawn out, and the seawater from all directions converged wildly, forming a monstrous water force that stretched for hundreds of miles in the sky. It was like a raging sea that he had drawn with one hand and pressed down on Mingmo!

　That concludes today's update.
