Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was not a baseless fear. After all, there were many similar incidents that had happened in the dragon clan. Thus, someone strong and handsome like w.a.n.g Mang was bound to attract unwanted attention, especially when compared to an old dragon like him.
With this thought in mind, the West Sea Dragon King quietly looked at his beloved concubines.
As expected, they were all staring at w.a.n.g Mang with bright eyes.
Upon seeing this scene, the West Sea Dragon King was displeased. At the same time, he began to hesitate.
If w.a.n.g Mang was not a Golden Immortal realm demon, he would have rejected w.a.n.g Mang without hesitation. However, the addition of a Golden Immortal realm demon would boost the West Sea Dragon Palace’s overall strength, as including himself, there were only seven demons who were at or above that cultivation realm.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Mang also laid eyes on the West Sea Dragon King. He could sense that the West Sea Dragon King’s strength was not that much greater than his own, perhaps a Taiyi Golden Immortal at best.
This meant that his decision to join the West Sea Dragon Palace was the right one. This was because from the system’s perspective, the dragon clan as a whole was a faction. Therefore, there was no need to join the strongest force within the dragon clan.
The problem was that the dragon clan had their own rules. w.a.n.g Mang only decided to join the West Sea Dragon Palace after studying it for a long time.
The Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace would be one of the Buddhist pilgrims in the future.
w.a.n.g Mang naturally knew this, which was why he had considered joining the West Sea Dragon Palace in the first place. Furthermore, the West Sea Dragon clan had a lot of outsiders, which would make it easier for him to become a core member.
Although the West Sea Dragon King was not particularly strong, the dragon clan’s strength was not limited to just these dragon kings of the four seas. The dragon clan had Tier 5 experts as well. It was just that they had not appeared yet.
w.a.n.g Mang had learned this information from the system, which was why he had made this place his first choice.
At this moment, the West Sea Dragon King chuckled as he stood up and walked to w.a.n.g Mang’s side. He asked with a smile, “Fellow Daoist, why did you choose to join my dragon clan?”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang chuckled.
“Of course it’s because the dragon clan is strong. Furthermore, among the four seas’ dragon clans, 1 think the West Sea Dragon Clan has more potential.”
w.a.n.g Mang’s words made the West Sea Dragon King feel quite proud, especially when his clan was favorably compared to the other three dragon clans. After all, they were compet.i.tors.
In theory, the West Sea Dragon Clan was only ranked third among the four seas’ dragon clans. They were not happy with this ranking, but that was the current situation.
The East Sea was the leader, while the North Sea was the last.
This ranking did not seem like much on the surface, but other than the East Sea Dragon King, none of the other three were happy with their rankings.
However, they were all branches of the larger dragon race. If they could not remain united, they would only be a joke.
Moreover, ever since the war between the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans in the primordial era, the number of people who had been killed within the three clans had increased, and the three clans had fallen from their pedestal. Of the three clans, the dragon clan was in the best situation.
Now, the qilin and phoenix clans were basically isolated from the world, in hiding. However, the three great clans were not destined to perish just like that. They were only recovering their strength.
The West Sea Dragon King nodded in satisfaction. He looked at w.a.n.g Mang with a much gentler gaze.
“Good! Fellow Daoist is right! The West Sea Dragon Palace has many troops and a large number of generals.”
“Fellow Daoist, what position do you want to take up within the West Sea Dragon Palace?”
Then, the West Sea Dragon King looked at w.a.n.g Mang poignantly, waiting for his reply.
This answer was very important. He wanted to see w.a.n.g Mang’s thoughts and see if he was sincere in joining his clan or if he had other intentions.
After pondering for a moment, w.a.n.g Mang slowly said, “If possible, I want to become the Great General of Longwei.”
“This way, I can also contribute to the West Sea Dragon Clan and train an army that can fight hundreds of battles for the dragon clan!”
Upon hearing this, West Sea Dragon King was taken aback and hesitated.
This was because the position of the Great General of Longwei was very special in the Four Seas’s Dragon Palaces.
There were only one of each of these generals for each dragon palace, and they possessed special statuses in their respective dragon palaces.
Strictly speaking, the Great General of Longwei was ranked third in a dragon palace!
In Dragon Palace, the positions were ranked as follows:
The highest rank was the Dragon King, the Dragon Crown prince, the Great General of Longwei, the Great General of the Four Conquests, and the Great Generals of the Va.s.sals, and then it trickled down to the other generals.
The Great General of the Four Conquests referred to the great general who expanded the territory of the Dragon Palace, while the Great General of the Va.s.sals referred to the great general who held power over the various va.s.sal races of the dragon clan.
As for the Great General of Longwei, this position represented the dignity of the dragon clan. Even the Dragon Crown Prince’s status was inferior to the Great General of Longwei in many aspects, especially in terms of military power and authority.
The other dragon palaces all had Great Generals of Longwei. Only the West Sea Dragon Palace did not, which was a crucial factor behind why he had chosen to come here.
The West Sea Dragon King was deep in thought, and w.a.n.g Mang did not disturb him. However, he was determined to get this position.
Otherwise, he would not be able to complete the mission.
After a long period of silence, the West Sea Dragon King looked at w.a.n.g Mang hesitantly and whispered, “Fellow Daoist, are you willing to start as the Great General of the Four Conquests?”
“If I see your ability to command troops, I will definitely give you the position of the Great General of Longwei. How about it?”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang frowned. After some thought, he asked, “Your Majesty, how long will it take for you to give me that position?”
“Five hundred years,” the West Sea Dragon King opened his palm and said, “At most 500 years, and the position of the Great General of Longwei will be yours, Fellow Daoist.”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang was speechless. This fellow really wanted him to work for 500 years for a position?
w.a.n.g Mang felt extremely displeased just thinking about it. He said with a dark expression, “Since Your Majesty does not favor me, then there’s no need to say anything more.”
“I can go to the East Sea, North Sea, and South Sea to try my luck. The other three Dragon Kings might be willing to give me this position.”
With that, w.a.n.g Mang looked like he was about to leave.
Seeing this, the West Sea Dragon King’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist, wait! Don’t be so anxious, I will give it to you, alright?”
“As long as you join the West Sea Dragon Palace and complete a task 1 set for
you, the position will be yours..”
