Hearing Ao Guang's words, Xu Fang suddenly understood.
He calculated the time with his fingers and realized that the second sermon by Dao Ancestor Hongjun was indeed approaching, just as Ao Guang had said.
"I almost forgot when you didn't mention it; the second sermon is indeed coming soon."
Xu Fang gave a wry smile, lamenting how he had almost forgotten this important event!
This was understandable for Xu Fang, as he had been constantly traversing the Primordial world. Time had flown by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the second sermon.
Looking at the Golden-winged Great Peng Eagle and Ao Xue, who had also just realized this, Xu Fang felt even more helpless.
These two, like himself, clearly couldn't be relied upon to remind him.
Fortunately, Ao Guang had reminded him. Otherwise, they would have truly missed this second sermon by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and lost a great opportunity.
"But, Ao Guang, why are you four brothers, who aren't going to Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermon, remembering it more clearly than we who are directly involved?"
Xu Fang asked out of curiosity.
Ao Guang glanced at Ao Xue and smiled.
"How could I not remember this?"
Seeing this, Xu Fang understood and sighed emotionally.
"Indeed, a parent's heart worries for their child!"
This Zixiao Palace sermon was a grand opportunity. Although Ao Guang wasn't going, he had been keeping track of the date, fearing that his daughter Ao Xue would miss the timing.
Xu Fang looked at the little Qilin and said,
"If that's the case, then indeed, I don't have time to help you now. We must set off for Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermon."
Although the little Qilin didn't know much about the Zixiao Palace sermon, seeing the excited expressions on Senior Xu Fang, Brother Bird, and Sister Dragon, he understood the importance of the matter.
"Alright! But Senior, you promised to help me find the Qilin Seal, didn't you?"
The little Qilin, still uneasy, asked for confirmation.
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten what I promised you."
Xu Fang nodded and agreed. After all, he had already found the supreme treasures of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes, so finding one for the Qilin tribe wouldn't be an issue.
He then turned to the Four Sea Dragon Kings and cupped his hands in farewell.
"In that case, I apologize, but we must depart for Zixiao Palace now. We bid you farewell."
"Daoist friend Xu Fang, please don't be so formal. Little Xue will still rely on your care!"
Ao Guang said, cupping his hands in return with the other three Dragon Kings.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings knew the importance of this sermon, and moreover, Ao Xue of their Dragon tribe was also involved. They didn't try to keep Xu Fang any longer.
After all, they were neighbors and would have plenty of opportunities to meet.
They immediately escorted Xu Fang and his party out of the Crystal Palace, watching their figures disappear on the vast sea surface, heading towards the chaotic Zixiao Palace.
As Xu Fang's figure vanished, the other three Dragon Kings turned to Ao Guang, speaking eagerly.
"Brother, are we really going to maintain good relations with the Phoenix and Qilin tribes in the future?"
"Yes, Brother. Actually, with our inheritance returned, we might have the strength to absorb the Phoenix and Qilin tribes."
"Brother, how much truth is there to what you just said?"
Ao Guang listened to their words and observed their expressions, his face immediately darkening.
"This was all agreed upon. Weren't you all strongly in agreement just now? Are you now trying to persuade me to go back on my word?"
Sensing Ao Guang's simmering anger, the three Dragon Kings fell silent.
They had strongly supported Ao Guang's words earlier, but they still couldn't figure out if Ao Guang was genuinely seeking peace or merely feigning it, intending to deceive the other two tribes into letting their guard down so they could strike unexpectedly.
Ao Guang naturally understood their thoughts and sighed.
"What I said just now was heartfelt."
Ao Guang stated, "The current Primordial world is no longer the era when the three tribes contended for supremacy, and the Witches and Demons were invincible. If we wish to lead the Dragon tribe to survival, we must abandon the ambition of vying for dominance."
He then shook his head.
"Moreover, do you truly believe that our Dragon tribe, with its recovered inheritance, can crush the other two tribes?"
"Didn't you hear that annoying big bird say that their Phoenix tribe's supreme treasure has long been recovered?"
The three Dragon Kings understood Ao Guang's unspoken meaning.
The Phoenix tribe's supreme treasure must have also carried their inheritance. If truth be told, the Dragon tribe was still lagging behind the Phoenix tribe and had no advantage whatsoever.
"The Phoenix tribe didn't take this opportunity to attack the Dragon and Qilin tribes back then, perhaps it was also influenced by Daoist friend Xu Fang!"
If the Dragon tribe were to confront the Phoenix tribe now, after regaining their inheritance, it would not only betray Daoist friend Xu Fang's previous efforts but also fail to defeat the Phoenix tribe.
This way, it would only lead to other powers, such as the Witch and Demon tribes, taking advantage of the situation and both sides suffering mutual damage!
The three Dragon Kings finally understood and nodded repeatedly. They had almost become overconfident and led the Dragon tribe down a path to destruction.
Ao Guang was quite satisfied with this and continued,
"Although I don't know what Daoist friend Xu Fang intends by gathering the inheritors of the three tribes, if we maintain good relations with him, we must not ruin his plans!"
Ao Guang said the last words with great severity, and the three Dragon Kings' hearts immediately tensed, and they understood instantly.
Indeed, Daoist friend Xu Fang, with the inheritors of the three tribes following him now, must have a grand scheme in mind.
If they were to start a conflict with the other two tribes, they might truly disrupt Daoist friend Xu Fang's grand plans.
Setting aside the significant alliance value Daoist friend Xu Fang represented to the Dragon tribe, he had already helped the Dragon tribe multiple times, which was a great kindness.
Therefore, no matter what, they must not ruin this great individual's plans.
"Understood, Brother. We will restrain our tribesmen and not cause conflict with the other two tribes."
"Indeed, we will not disrupt Daoist friend Xu Fang's plans."
"Speaking of which, Daoist friend Xu Fang might truly be the opportunity for our Dragon tribe, and even the three tribes, to rise!"
The Four Sea Dragon Kings repeatedly agreed, while also expressing their endless admiration.
Xu Fang's repeated assistance to the Dragon tribe had led to their leapfrog development, making him a lucky star for the Dragon tribe.
He had also made significant contributions and shown great kindness to the Phoenix tribe.
Furthermore, Daoist friend Xu Fang had just agreed to the little Qilin's request, promising to help recover the Qilin tribe's supreme treasure, the Qilin Seal.
All these things combined suggested that Daoist friend Xu Fang was indeed the opportunity for the three tribes, not just a lucky star for the Dragon tribe, but a lucky star for all three tribes!
Even if they didn't know his true intentions, as long as the outcomes for the three tribes were positive and brought them benefits, it was acceptable.
Therefore, even if they were being used to some extent, the Four Sea Dragon Kings felt it was not an unacceptable situation!
In fact, they were even considering whether to let Daoist friend Xu Fang "use" the Dragon tribe again to gain more benefits for them!
Xu Fang, however, was unaware that he had inexplicably been praised by Ao Guang and his four brothers as the lucky star of the three tribes.
