Ling Li, upon hearing this, couldn't help but pout and say, "What? You haven't even started yet! I thought you all had already finished the forging!"
Wang Long waved his hand and replied, "I already knew about this matter. However, since it is not something that can be accomplished overnight, we can only set it aside for now. The Four Sea Dragon Kings and the Nine Provinces Dragon Head should be arriving soon. I wonder if Elder Wang has made the arrangements?"
Wang Yuanxian responded, "Yes, I have arranged for personnel to welcome them at the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall in Dragon City."
"Good, then let's head there together and wait!"
The group walked towards the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall. Wang Yuanxian glanced at the humanoid form of Evil and Malicious and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
"A very powerful helper. The elders will know after a while."
Wang Yuanxian nodded and didn't ask further. However, seeing the fierce aura in the man's eyes made even him feel a bit intimidated. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look any longer, feeling even more curious about where the Dragon Head had found such a master.
When Wang Long arrived at the front of the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall, all the elders and the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons were already waiting, setting up formations to welcome the various Dragon Heads from different regions, as well as the elders of the Serpent Demon Clan and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
Upon seeing Wang Long and his group arrive, everyone bowed in unison.
Wang Long waved his hand, instructing everyone not to be overly formal and to take their seats.
After exchanging a few casual remarks, they heard someone report from ahead that distinguished guests had arrived and were approaching the stone steps at the entrance.
Wang Long focused his senses and took a glance, only to find that it was not the Four Sea Dragon Kings but rather Man Qianyi, the Supreme Elder of the Serpent Demon Clan!
"Elder Man is the first to arrive; we extend our warmest welcome!"
Wang Long greeted loudly as Man Qianyi laughed heartily and walked in, followed by more than ten elders who possessed profound cultivation and extraordinary demeanor, among them was Changxi by his side.
"Greetings to the clan leader, greetings to the Dragon Lord!"
After the ceremony was completed, Man Qianyi looked around boldly and laughed loudly, "It seems quite grand, but it doesn't look like it's for welcoming me, Old Man, but rather for the Four Dragon Lords, right?!"
Wang Yuanxian smiled and said, "Brother Man, don't belittle yourself. Everyone here is a distinguished guest of Dragon City and should be treated equally!"
"Hmm? Elder Wang, are you trying to renege on the fine wine you owe me?! Equal treatment? The Four Dragon Lords didn't participate in your gambling match!"
Wang Yuanxian forced a smile and waved his hand, saying, "Of course I wouldn't dare to forget."
Everyone burst into laughter.
While they were joking, the Dragon Heads from various regions of the Nine Provinces arrived one after another, each accompanied by dozens of attendants. Their expressions were calm and serious, which seemed somewhat strange.
Wang Long understood that he needed them to hand over their respective treasures from their states and counties. Naturally, he felt a bit reluctant, but with great enemies looming and life at stake, he couldn't afford to dwell on such matters. He smiled lightly and instructed everyone to treat the guests well.
They chatted for a while longer, but still did not see the Four Sea Dragon Kings arrive. A few impatient elders began to express their dissatisfaction, especially Man Qianyi and others who had already started to complain.
"These Four Dragon Lords are indeed esteemed figures; they are so late that we have been waiting here for quite some time!"
Wang Long quickly offered some comforting words while also speculating why these individuals had not yet arrived. He hoped nothing unfortunate had happened.
Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise. Wang Long's heart stirred as he looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, he saw a dark shadow resembling ominous clouds slowly approaching from afar, as if a storm was brewing; dark clouds covered the sky and obscured the sun.
"Hmm, is it going to rain?!"
Wang Long smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, it's a ship..."
At that moment, Man Qianyi also recognized the newcomers; it was the Four Sea Dragon Kings arriving on an enormous Dragon Boat. They had sailed from the Cloud Sea, their vessel spreading across the sky like a vast canopy.
"Hmph, what a grand display! Are they here to join the alliance or to assert their dominance?"
Both the Dragon City and the Serpent Demon Clan had long harbored grievances against the Four Sea Dragon Kings, largely due to their overwhelming power, which was sufficient to challenge the entire Dragon-Snake Alliance.
Thus, when Man Qianyi saw the spectacle presented by the Dragon King, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of dissatisfaction.
Wang Long, however, remained unfazed. With a slight smile and a surge of Vital Energy within him, he called out loudly, "The esteemed Four Sea Dragon Kings have graced us with their presence; the Kyushu Islands are truly honored!"
His voice resonated powerfully, breaking through the clouds. Not only did it reach those present, but even the Dragon Boat soaring in the skies felt the vibrations, causing it to tremble slightly and its enormous sails to billow gently.
By showcasing such prowess, Wang Long conveyed to the Four Sea Dragon Kings that his Dragon-Snake Alliance and the Kyushu Islands were forces not to be underestimated, ensuring they did not take them lightly.
Indeed, the Four Sea Dragon Kings were visibly moved. They emerged from their vessels, standing amidst the Cloud Sea at the bow of their ship, and together they clasped their fists in salute, saying, "We apologize for our tardiness; our journey across the Four Seas was long."
Wang Long replied with a smile, "No need for such formalities."
Others, like Man Qianyi, merely snorted in response.
As the great ship crossed the boundary between realms and slowly descended, its immense size left everyone in awe. It completely covered the square in front of the Ten Thousand Dragon Hall, making everyone feel somewhat insignificant.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings and their accompanying Dragon Generals disembarked from the ship and approached the crowd, offering both greetings and apologies. Wang Yuanxian and Man Qianyi reciprocated respectfully.
The East Sea Dragon King glanced at his daughter with a hint of helplessness but said nothing further. With a wave of his sleeve, he transformed the massive ship into a small model and tucked it away.
"Now then, esteemed guests from afar have gathered in Dragon City for an unprecedented event! Since everyone is here, let us begin discussing matters of our future!"
Wang Long instructed everyone to settle down. The Four Sea Dragon Kings, Nine Provinces Dragon Head, along with various elders took their seats as he spoke loudly to open this significant alliance meeting.
"Esteemed Dragon Heads, have you brought along the fragments of the Dragon Emperor's Bones?"
Wang Long first looked towards the Nine Provinces Dragon Head and asked loudly.
"Yes!"
Although everyone felt helpless, they knew there was no room for negotiation at this moment. They all stepped forward and presented the pieces of stone that were as smooth as jade and as hard as steel.
Wang Long saw these Dragon Emperor's Bones. Although they were fragmented, they still retained their spiritual essence. Despite being eroded by countless years, they seemed to possess a hint of vitality. Indeed, they were extraordinary items that had seized the essence of heaven and earth, gathering the essence of the sun and moon. He felt a surge of joy in his heart, knowing his guess was correct; these bone fragments were from the Kyushu Islands, also known as the Ancestor Continent's Dragon Emperor Corpse.
"Good! Since that's the case, I ask the Four Dragon Lords to hand over the four Dragon Emperor's Bones you are guarding!"
The Four Sea Dragon Kings did not refuse. Each waved their sleeves, and four beams of light—purple, white, gold, and blue—flashed by. From their arms, streams of light flowed down to the ground.
They transformed into four complete Dragon Emperor Corpses.
On the ground lay four complete Dragon Emperor Corpses alongside another broken Corpse, quietly resting together, transcending thousands or even tens of thousands of years of time to reappear in the world.
They faintly shimmered with light, as if anticipating something.
