If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 18 Entering the East Sea, Meeting the First Emperor

Envoy Long Yuan gave Ao Bai a cold look and said:

"Don't think that I'm like Ao Guang, who died in battle. You didn't obey orders last time. This time, it's the First Emperor himself who gave the order. You must prepare to set off immediately. If you dare to make a mistake, I will personally annihilate you!"

Ao Guang was indeed dead, which made Ao Bai's heart sink.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot protect himself, let alone a weak Earth Immortal like him.

Unfortunately, Longyuan is now leaving no room for maneuver, which has made Ao Bai realize the seriousness of the problem.

If he doesn't know what's good for him, he might be wiped out right now, not even needing to go to the battlefield.

"Fight for the Dragons!"

Ao Bai had no choice but to accept the order; the situation was beyond his control, and he had no choice but to submit.

Long Yuan glanced at it, then rode away on a cloud, not at all worried that Ao Bai would dare to escape.

No faction has zero tolerance for deserters.

Watching Long Yuan leave, Ao Bai was at a loss.

His strength is indeed somewhat lacking now; at the mere Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm, it would be difficult for him to survive the Three Races War.

Now, Ao Bai can only rely on the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Great Formation" that he has mastered.

"Your Highness, the First Emperor's decree cannot be disobeyed. I am willing to accompany Your Highness to the East Sea!"

Xuanwu stepped forward and said that he had not been a follower of Ao Bai for long, but Ao Bai treated him with sincerity, which Xuanwu could feel very clearly.

Upon hearing this, Ao Bai was overjoyed, for he was indeed in a dilemma.

His father was seriously injured and could not recover. As a dragon prince, he would certainly not allow Ao Feng to continue the expedition. Therefore, he had no choice but to step in himself for the time being.

"If a fellow Daoist were to accompany me, along with a massive naval force of tens of millions, setting up the 'Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Grand Array' should be enough to deal with even a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

Ao Bai said confidently that their group of aquatic creatures were weak and not easily targeted by powerful enemies; they were more likely to deal with opponents of similar strength.

In this way, as long as Ao Bai has enough people to set up the formation, he can ensure his safety.

However, the sheer number of aquatic creatures gathered on the battlefield was indeed too conspicuous.

Xuanwu was willing to follow Ao Bai for two reasons: first, to repay the other party, and second, to take the opportunity to make merit and obtain more rewards.

In Xuanwu's view, since Ao Bai could casually produce the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Great Formation," he must have even more powerful formations.

This was something Ao Bai hadn't expected.

However, Ao Bai was still very gratified that Xuanwu could follow him now.

On the contrary, You Wu has been hesitant to express his opinion, clearly out of fear of the three-race battlefield and unwilling to participate easily.

"Your Highness, I am also willing to go!"

At this moment, Changxu also stepped forward, which surprised Ao Bai.

You know, this fat catfish is usually low-key, cautious, and timid, but unexpectedly, he stepped up at a critical moment.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Long Beard, Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, you two will come with me and lead ten million elite naval troops to the East Sea to assemble. Youwu will be in charge of all defenses of Henghe Water Mansion, and Bailin will continue to gather intelligence and keep in touch with me at all times. If absolutely necessary, you can go to my father to discuss it."

Ao Bai did not insist. Henghe Water Mansion needed people to stay behind, so leaving Youwu and Bailin behind was the best option.

A hint of relief flashed in You Wu's eyes, and she immediately stepped forward and said:

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as I am here, Yokogawa will be safe and sound!"

Now that Youwu has mastered the "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Grand Formation," leaving them with millions of aquatic creatures is indeed enough to guarantee a certain level of safety.

Ao Bai didn't delay. He personally summoned all the aquatic creatures, selected the ten million best beings, and led them downstream to the East Sea.

This time, it wasn't just the cultivators from Henghe Water Mansion who went; the Black River Dragon King and the Jing River Dragon King, who had previously escaped, also set off and came to the East Sea.

Along the way, Ao Bai kept thinking of countermeasures. Once they joined the battle, so many aquatic creatures would definitely be very conspicuous.

Without the help of others, Ao Bai is just an ordinary Earth Immortal, completely powerless to protect himself.

"My Sea-Stabilizing Pearl has its own internal space. Perhaps I can refine it as much as possible and then put ten million aquatic creatures into it. This way, not only will the target be reduced, but I can also directly control the great formation. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Ao Bai, with a clear mind, suddenly thought of this.

The interior of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls is enormous. Legend has it that the Daoist Burning Lamp used twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to refine twenty-four Buddhist kingdoms, which is how he achieved the enlightenment of the Buddha of the Past.

Previously, Ao Bai was worried that refining the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl would be time-consuming and laborious, so he only carried out a simple preliminary refining.

The current situation forces him to spend time refining more of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

The waters occupied by the dragons spanned the entire prehistoric world, and it would obviously take some time to assemble a large army.

After Ao Bai and his group arrived, they were placed in a specific area.

Taking this opportunity, Ao Bai continued to refine the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

These three precious orbs together are incredibly powerful, but refining them is also extremely difficult.

Ao Bai dared not delay and worked day and night to refine it.

Time passed quickly, and armies from all directions gathered, making the East China Sea bustling with activity.

"Father, Ao Bai and the others are stationed in the next area. Ao Feng did not appear this time; only Ao Bai is in charge of the situation."

Ao Fang quietly approached Ao Li and whispered his report to his superior.

The father and son exchanged a glance, and they both understood each other's thoughts.

"Let's not make a move directly. Ao Bai is weak. I have some connections with the dragon princes, and they should be happy to deal with him."

Ao Fang smiled sinisterly; he was very good at using others to do his dirty work.

Last time, the five forces combined failed to eliminate Ao Bai, but this time, having come to the East Sea, he has plenty of ways to kill him.

"Father, the situation on the battlefield between the three races is constantly changing. Why not wait until we're on the battlefield before seizing the opportunity to eliminate Ao Bai? That would be safer."

Ao Fang suggested.

The interests and conflicts within the dragon race are complex and intertwined. Although everyone knows this, openly killing one's own kind is absolutely unacceptable.

Ao Li shook his head and said:

"The battlefield of the three races is extremely dangerous. Once we get there, we can hardly protect ourselves, let alone devise a plan to deal with Ao Bai. There are too many variables there, and we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest. Besides, I can't wait any longer!"

Having suffered several major losses at the hands of Ao Bai, Ao Li was unwilling to miss this golden opportunity.

However, just as Ao Li and his son were secretly discussing matters, the Ancestral Dragon appeared and personally summoned all the dragons to the Crystal Palace to discuss the matter.

Ao Li smiled smugly and immediately went to make the arrangements.

At the same time, Ao Bai received a summons from the Ancestral Dragon. As the master of the Henghe Water Palace, he was discussing the list of personnel.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, let's go take a look together. Long Beard, you lead all the naval forces to establish a stable camp here."

Ao Bai stood up. This was his first time meeting Zu Long, a renowned and powerful figure and one of the three overlords of the prehistoric world. Ao Bai had high expectations for him.
