Journey to the West: Signing in for 500 Years-Chapter 598 - 592: Space Dragon Pearl [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas entered the Cave Dwelling and were immediately overwhelmed by the sight before them.

Inside, numerous palaces, divine mountains, and rivers stood. They even saw several congenital Spiritual Roots and endless fields of Elixirs and Immortal Herbs.

Such a scene was breathtaking.

What shocked them most was the Spiritual Energy within the Cave Dwelling; it was so dense it was almost tangible.

Then, they saw a familiar face: the Jinghe Dragon King.

The West Sea Dragon King and the Jinghe Dragon King were relatives. Upon seeing him, the West Sea Dragon King quickly stepped forward to greet him, shocked and delighted.

The West Sea Dragon King said in astonishment, "Ao Ming, weren't you slain by the Jade Emperor? How are you not dead?"

The Jinghe Dragon King replied, "Indeed, I was beheaded by Wei Zheng, but the River Lord saved me, reshaped my body, and I took an Immortal Pill to live again."

The West Sea Dragon King, both shocked and elated, said, "Many thanks, Sir."

The other Dragon Kings also bowed and expressed their gratitude; after all, the Jinghe Dragon King was one of the few true dragons remaining in their Dragon Clan.

Although the resurrected Jinghe Dragon King no longer bore much of a true dragon's aura, his powerful physique was still terrifying to behold.

This meant Jinghe Dragon King Ao Ming's power was certainly greater than in his previous life, which was already sufficient.

The Dragon King of the Eastern Sea said, "Sir, since you are willing to see us, it shows you have feelings for our Dragon Clan."

"You have been willing to teach my daughter and my nephew Ao Lie, giving them a future with limitless potential. You've granted them incredible strength, unmatched by our entire Dragon Clan, and recovered the Cultivation Techniques for our Clan. You are truly a benefactor to our Dragon Clan."

Sha Chen extended his hand. "Since I am your benefactor, did you intend to come empty-handed?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The Dragon King of the Eastern Sea replied, "We came in haste and did not bring much. Please forgive us, Sir."

Sha Chen rolled his eyes. "So, you intended to get something for nothing? You expect my help without even a welcoming gift?"

"Who exactly is the benefactor here, you or me?"

His words made the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas flush red with shame, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.

Siti said, "I've never seen such shameless people! If you've come seeking Sha Chen's help, you should at least understand basic courtesy."

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.

They were extremely apprehensive, unsure of what to do.

It was the Jinghe Dragon King who, noticing the awkward atmosphere, quickly stepped in to defuse the situation. "Brothers," he said, "you must each have a Dragon Ball with you—the treasure of our Dragon Clan. Why not present them as a meeting gift to Sir?"

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas showed hesitation and shock, clearly reluctant to part with their Dragon Balls as gifts.

Seeing this, Sha Chen said, "I have heard of the Dragon Clan's Dragon Balls. They are said to be crafted from the hardest bones of the most powerful true dragons of ancient times."

"Yet you hesitate to offer even this. With such a lack of sincerity, how can I believe you're willing to part with eighty percent of your treasury's wealth?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas dared not hide anything or hesitate further and quickly brought forth their Dragon Balls.

They knelt on the ground and respectfully presented four Dragon Balls.

The Dragon King of the Eastern Sea said, "Please do not misunderstand, Sir. It is not that we are unwilling to give them, but the Dragon Balls hold profound significance for our Dragon Clan."

"Since Sir likes them and has expressed interest, if we were still to hold back, it would indeed show a lack of sincerity, and we would be too ashamed to ask for your guidance."

Sha Chen didn't stand on ceremony. With a simple gesture, he caught the four Dragon Balls in his hand and casually examined them to understand their structure.

Dragon Balls were somewhat similar to Buddhist Shariputra, both forged from the hardest bones of predecessors, refined by fire, and containing their most indestructible personal power.

Moreover, different Dragon Balls possessed different characteristics, just as different Shariputra served different purposes.

The four Dragon Balls from the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas each possessed different abilities: fire, ice, and water. Notably, the Dragon Ball held by the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea even contained spatial power.

This surprised Sha Chen somewhat, so he asked, "Why does this Dragon Ball contain spatial power? Does this mean some of your Dragon Clan's predecessors also mastered space?"

The Dragon King of the Eastern Sea explained, "The First Elder of our Dragon Clan was a true space dragon, capable of roaming the void and disregarding all spatial laws."

"That Elder once, relying on his spatial abilities, fought the Daoist Ancestor for three days and three nights to a draw."

Sha Chen was somewhat amazed, not expecting the Dragon Clan to have such a glorious past.

Furthermore, that Elder of the Dragon Clan was a true space dragon. Had he not died, it's possible that even the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang might not have qualified to be called the god of spatial laws.

This meant the Dragon Ball contained the First Elder's comprehension of spatial power.

He nodded. "This Dragon Ball is indeed so precious and rare. Are you truly willing to give it to me?"

The Dragon King of the Eastern Sea replied, "Since the First Elder's passing, our entire Dragon Clan has not produced another space dragon. Thus, keeping it is useless to us."

"Since Sir likes it, please take it."

Sha Chen naturally desired it. His own spatial power was now only half a step from Great Perfection.

Relying solely on his own comprehension, it would likely take him ten thousand years to achieve this.

Now, with this Space Dragon Pearl as a reference, it would undoubtedly be of immense help to his comprehension of spatial laws.

Sha Chen accepted it without ceremony.

He then said, "I won't take your things for nothing. Seeing that you have all aged considerably, I shall reward each of you with an Immortal Peach and half a Ginseng Fruit."

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, wanting Sha Chen to wholeheartedly help them overcome their difficulties, initially did not want to accept. However, when they saw the Immortal Peaches and Ginseng Fruits Sha Chen presented, their eyes nearly popped out.

These were not ordinary Immortal Peaches and Ginseng Fruits, but rare, supreme-grade Fruit Kings!

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas promptly apologized and, without further hesitation, accepted the fruits, devouring them eagerly.

After consuming them entirely, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas instantly felt as if they had become hundreds of thousands of years younger. Their originally white beards and hair even regained some of their dark luster.

Not only that, but they also felt that their cultivation, which had long reached a plateau they found difficult to surpass—with daily practice merely maintaining their current state—had been stirred.

But after eating the Immortal Peaches and Ginseng Fruits, they felt their very bloodlines boil anew! The shackles on their bodies seemed to have been removed, and their cultivation ceiling had been raised a level.

They realized they still possessed potential and could become even stronger!

They were both shocked and overjoyed. Although they were old and no longer craved power as intensely as in their youth, the prospect of becoming stronger still filled them with great pleasure.

Moreover, becoming stronger meant an even longer lifespan, which naturally filled them with elation.

Having received such benefits, the four Dragon Kings were naturally overcome with gratitude towards Sha Chen and hurriedly expressed their thanks.

Then, they added, "Sir, we have one more audacious request. We earnestly implore you to emerge from your seclusion and save our Dragon Clan from this dire peril. If you do not intervene, the Dragon Clan faces extinction!"
