The Dragon Kings and Dragon Crown Princes paled once more. An oath to be witnessed by The Three Pristine Ones?
The West Sea Dragon King subconsciously blurted out,
"But... but Those Three would never bear witness to such an oath."
"They will," Lu Xuan said with a smile. "Let's first have this East Sea Crown Prince ascend the throne. After you four Dragon Kings make the pact with me, I will naturally release these two remnant souls to Reincarnation."
"Fine!"
While the other Dragon Kings were still hesitating, the North Sea Dragon King was the first to speak decisively.
"However, the East Sea Dragon Palace has collapsed and is no longer suitable for the ritual. Ao Guang's ascension requires a grand ceremony to be recognized by heaven and earth, to become Immortal, and to take the Dragon King's throne."
He added,
"But we can go to the secret hall beneath the Dragon Palace. The ritual can be performed there without causing a stir or being detected by the outside world."
