This news immediately drew people's attention.

More important than the earthquake in the East Sea region.

The Yinglong, a mythical existence.

There were once claims of sightings at Kunlun Mountain, but ultimately it came to nothing.

This made the public think it was false, but now it's different, the Yinglong has emerged.

And directly soared away from Kunlun Mountain.

Videos quickly surfaced online.

In the sky, a dragon with wings broke through the void, its speed was astonishing.

It broke through the sound barrier, and as it passed, wind and clouds surged, lightning and thunder clashed, resembling the Dragon King from mythical stories who commands celestial rain.

However, it did not choose to harm humans; its sole goal from start to finish was to head east.

"The Yinglong has leapt over the Qinling Mountains and is still moving forward, skimming past Chang'an City."

"Where exactly is it heading? Is it Taishan?"

"I don't think so; wasn't there an earthquake in the East Sea recently? I think it's heading there."

"The East Sea, could it be the East Sea Dragon King?"

Various speculations appeared online.

A dragon, a true mythological existence in China.

This is truly astonishing and cannot help but draw attention.

Official authorities are naturally aware, closely monitoring, but seeing the Yinglong does not intend to harm humans, they chose not to intervene.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan, at the Taishan Trial Institute, upon hearing the news, showed an intrigued expression: "The grand era is truly about to begin, various myths are descending."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless, mythological existences, Outer Realm creatures, folded space, supreme inheritances.

Various major events interwoven, grand figures making their moves, a truly ancient upheaval.

Back when he was a nobody.

He could only go with the flow in the tide of the times, managing to survive was already not bad.

But now, Lu Yuan has grown and will face this grand era directly, perhaps even influencing future upheavals.

Of course, this wasn't what he truly desired; with the grand era arriving, supreme beings from star realms will all make their moves.

He couldn't be just a participant; if he were to do it, he would be the one in control.

"King Lu."

At this time, Zhu Qingyu arrived.

Behind him were Ji Lao and Yun Lao.

The two didn't hesitate, directly saying, "The Sect Leader of the Three Immortal Islands wants to see you, there's something important to discuss."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded, roughly guessing what it was, and said immediately: "Alright, let them all come in."

Soon, the Sect Leaders of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou Islands appeared.

Since submitting, they've been diligently working.

Training students at various Zhen Dan Academies.

Their attitude was very good.

Now, the three looked somewhat solemn; upon seeing Lu Yuan, they immediately bowed in the ancient manner.

"King Lu, there will be a change in the East Sea. According to our sect's ancient records, a powerful race once existed on the seabed, leaving many inheritances. The Outer Realm creatures will surely covet it; this belongs to our world and absolutely cannot be taken by them."

Though the ancestors of the Three Islands once evaded disasters to preserve themselves, they still saw themselves as people of this world.

The mutations in the depths of the East Sea, according to their ancient records, might alter the world's structure.

Since they chose to submit to Lu Yuan, they must do their utmost.

There were also other thoughts within.

So upon hearing all this, a smile appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.

To be fair.

The Three Immortal Islands were quite tactful.

"I understand what you said."

Lu Yuan pondered briefly and continued: "In the future, as long as you are wholeheartedly committed, there will be an opportunity to release the contract between us."

Coming urgently to convey the information was to show they had no other interests, right?

And to gain his trust, to release the contract and regain their freedom in the future.

After all.

No one wants their life to be forever controlled by others.

"Thank you, King Lu." Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader of Penglai was overjoyed and bowed quickly.

"We have an ancestral deep-sea map here; if King Lu wants to go to the East Sea, you can take it." The Sect Leader of Fangzhang produced a parchment scroll from his sleeve, speaking respectfully.

Knowing that as long as they behaved themselves, there would be no problem in releasing the contract later.

And since the other party had made it clear, such a powerful figure surely wouldn't lie.

"Alright."

Lu Yuan nodded, taking the parchment map.

This object might indeed be useful.

Then.

The three Sect Leaders said a few more words and then left directly.

Lu Yuan watched their departing figures and then turned his gaze to Ji Lao and the others: "Prepare a group of good people from the Heavenly Court to accompany me to explore the East Sea, there's a fortune emerging there that can aid evolution."

He had already planned to leave and collect some Divine Artifacts around different regions.

The East Sea was actually part of the plan, only now the timing had been moved up slightly.

He remembered that back in the day due to this incident.

A lot of masters were created.

If he could cultivate some independently capable individuals, he wouldn't have to handle everything personally later on.

"Alright, we'll go down and arrange it now." Ji Lao and Yun Lao nodded.

Zhu Qingyu looked excited, knowing he would definitely be included.

Immediately, the group prepared to leave.

"Wait."

However, at this moment, Lu Yuan spoke again: "What is Miss Jiang doing lately?"

The global changes are becoming increasingly apparent, with Outer Realm Creatures arriving in large numbers; their movements couldn't possibly be silent.

"Not much, they've been staying secluded lately, although Jiang Bo from before has been constantly sending over many Breathing Techniques, Visualization Techniques, and other items, saying he wants to support the Heavenly Court," said Old Ji.

"I see." Lu Yuan nodded, knowing that Jiang Ningxian was also preparing.

It seems the Jiang family from the Desolate Flame Star Realm is already on their way.

A top ten Star Realm indeed.

Truly terrifying strong beings will appear, perhaps even surpassing the Holy Realm.

And since the Jiang family is taking action, the Ji family won't be far behind.

So many things to handle.

Shortly after.

Lu Yuan gave a few instructions and then let them leave.

In the backyard of the house, the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace still stood in midair, emitting a misty radiance.

The surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth continuously gathered, occasionally spitting out pure energy.

"It seems the process of refining this large pill will require some more time."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan made a brief assessment.

By the time he returns from the East Sea, it should almost be done.

Without saying more, he continued operating the Visualization Technique and Breathing Technique, evolving cultivation, stabilizing his state.

Time passed by little by little.

And since the East Sea region earthquake.

And the official emergence of the Yinglong from Kunlun, many have been watching closely.

Finally discovering that the target was indeed the East Sea, upon arrival, it immediately plunged into the sea and disappeared.

In addition, some received news that the government is about to investigate the true cause of the East Sea earthquake, with Lu Wang personally leading the team.

For a while, many Awakened had a thought emerge in their minds.

Lu Wang, the Yinglong of mythology.

What will happen when the two meet?

Unsurprisingly, many set out, ready to witness it firsthand.

The previously dormant Outer Realm Creatures also became active again.

Suddenly.

The East Sea became the center of focus.

A few days later, Old Ji selected a group of people.

Zhu Qingyu, Ice Fairy, Gusang, Shura, Pure Yang Little Celestial Master, and Monk Huikong among others.

They are all elite youths, currently belonging to the Heavenly Court organization, having entered the Shackles Realm, full of potential.

He arranged for these people to join Lu Yuan in heading to the East Sea region.

The Golden-winged Roc would also go.

Thinking there might be creatures infused with Dragon Blood there that could aid its evolution.

Soon, everything was prepared, and the government directly arranged for a military aircraft.

Given the large number of people, the speed of the military aircraft was acceptable.

Within ten days, they would certainly arrive.

However.

Before departure, the Spiritual Monkey also came along.

Saying that its black iron staff came from the Divine Material of the East Sea, and it hoped to find new gains this time.

Thus, everyone set out.

The Golden-winged Roc, capable of extreme speed, set out on its own.

Lu Yuan, along with Zhu Qingyu and others, took the military aircraft.

If everything goes smoothly, these people will be the backbone of the Heavenly Court in the future.

And during the journey, the higher-ups also ordered the troops stationed in the East Sea region to use warships to explore the seafloor and understand the situation in advance.

Back then, Lu Yuan deterred the South Sea Giant Demon, preventing it from infringing upon the human world, leading to a long period of peace across all ocean regions.

The warships that previously couldn't venture out now wouldn't face attacks either.

A few days later.

On a large military aircraft.

Lu Yuan sat alone, eyes closed, resting.

The nearby Spiritual Monkey fiddled with its iron staff, looking restless.

It couldn't help it, that's just its nature, unable to stay still.

During the journey, Gusang offered comfort.

Specifically taking out a banana, making the Spiritual Monkey's eyes widen; as the Beast King, it was now truly being treated like a monkey, causing everyone to chuckle, so overall, the journey wasn't boring.

"We're almost there, no need to be impatient." Lu Yuan opened his eyes and said.

The Spiritual Monkey had no choice but to squat on its seat, though still fidgety.

"Lu Wang."

At this moment, Zhu Qingyu and Ice Fairy approached, holding some documents.

"Our warships, after several days of exploration, indeed discovered significant changes in the depths of the East Sea. Here are the imaging results, please take a look," Zhu Qingyu offered the documents.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan didn't hesitate, accepting them immediately. After careful observation, his expression slightly changed.

"What is it?"

The Spiritual Monkey also leaned in, glancing over: "Huh, are there buildings under the sea?"

"In Western mythology, there's the so-called Atlantis, the dwelling of the Sea God, Poseidon," Gusang remarked.

Nowadays, these occurrences around the world don't astonish people much; they've started using mythology to analyze situations, often finding little difference. This is why the new era is called the era of mythological revival.

"You know it's Western, the East Sea's construction certainly isn't."

Pure Yang Little Celestial Master remarked, asserting that Eastern matters shouldn't be explained by Western myths.

"Amitabha, this humble monk has thought of something," Monk Huikong also observed, continuing, "I suspect this structure resembles a palace and is immensely large, situated in the East Sea; perhaps it is the Dragon Palace Hall from myth?"

The East Sea?

Dragon Palace Hall?

The words startled everyone to their core!
