Gao Xuan didn't argue with Ao Qiong's arrogance; he calmly said: "I obtained a Dragon Talisman from Jinlin. This item is a secret treasure of the Dragon Palace; I dare not keep it privately. Hence, I am handing it over to the Sixth Prince for disposition."

As he spoke, he brushed his long sleeve, and a Dragon Talisman appeared in front of Ao Qiong.

Ao Qiong glanced at the Dragon Talisman, sneered, and reached out to take it: "Consider yourself sensible. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Bow down and confess now, maybe I can forgive you."

Gao Xuan quietly looked at Ao Qiong: "Sixth Prince, I have immense respect for the Dragon Palace. But killing Jinlin was a duty, not a personal grudge. Hence, there is no wrongdoing to speak of. I hope the Sixth Prince can understand."

"You refuse the chance given to you; you are courting death."

Ao Qiong waved his sleeve, "Go home and wait for death."

Saying so, Ao Qiong, along with the Water Patrol Yaksha, swiftly left in a Golden Carriage.

Gao Xuan looked at the long trail of golden rainbow in the night sky, he laughed rather than being angry, "Indeed you are courting death. Well, suit yourself."

As Ao Qiong did not turn hostile on the spot, Gao Xuan refrained from taking action. Anyway, there will be a time to confront sooner or later.

Gao Xuan also returned to the Celestial Master Temple, where Tao Jun, Jiang Yunfeng, and Zuo Wentao were still waiting for him.

Tao Jun somewhat eagerly asked: "Celestial Master, how was it?"

"It fell apart."

Gao Xuan calmly said: "Ao Qiong is ignorant of etiquette; his character is wild and rebellious, bound to become a disaster sooner or later. You should go back and make some preparations."

Tao Jun silently cursed, having offended Ao Qiong, what road is there left to live, what preparations can be made?

However, he feared Gao Xuan more. He could only nod in agreement submissively.

Tao Jun looked worriedly at the heavy clouds in the sky again, as the rain seemed to be coming, wondering what to do.

"Clouds concealing the moon, so loathsome."

Gao Xuan casually pointed: "Wind, disperse the clouds."

Suddenly, a great wind arose from the southeast, scattering the heavy clouds like strands.

In an instant, the overwhelming clouds completely disappeared. The crescent moon hung in the clear starry sky, refreshing and bright.

Tao Jun and Zuo Wentao could only smile wryly. Cloud Formation and Rainfall is an innate divine technique of the Dragon Race, yet Gao Xuan simply used mana to blow away the clouds. This was indeed provoking the Dragon Race.

Yet, at this point, they could do nothing. They could only salute Gao Xuan before leaving together.

Once the three Spirit Immortals left, Ripples appeared beside Gao Xuan.

Ripples looked at the backs of the three Spirit Immortals and scoffed, "Three old men, all useless."

Attached to the Hongyi Sword, with Gao Xuan's indulgence, Ripples could sense the changes in the outside world.

She truly looked down upon Tao Jun, Zuo Wentao, and Jiang Yunfeng.

Tonight's conflict, the three were just like spectators, not even cheering.

Ripples continued, "That Ao Qiong is repulsive; I wish I could kill him with a sword."

"Your murderous intent is quite strong."

Gao Xuan patted Ripples on the head and chided, "With your swordsmanship, if you went up, you would be killed instead. Go practice your sword."

Chided by Gao Xuan, Ripples felt a bit discouraged.

Indeed, today she didn't gain much advantage against Wind Tiger. When the Golden Horn Demon King took action, she was even restrained by the Five Peaks Golden Wheel.

If Hongyi Sword hadn't protected her, the Five Peaks Golden Wheel alone would have scattered her soul.

Only beings like Golden Horn and Ao Qiong are beyond her ability to handle.

Feeling a little frustrated, Ripples returned to her room with the Hongyi Sword, determined to practice diligently, hoping to aid the master. Determined to wield the sword against that arrogant Sixth Prince!

Gao Xuan took the Hongyi Sword and gently brushed the sword's body, which rippled like autumn water.

Due to several days of continuous rainfall, the lower and middle reaches of Bai Cang River were under immense pressure.

Ao Qiong left, yet he left behind many troubles.

Seizing this opportunity, Gao Xuan decided to resolve the Bai Cang River flooding problem.

Although he returned the Dragon Talisman to Ao Qiong, Gao Xuan's Hongyi Sword had absorbed the heart of Bai Cang River, allowing him to precisely control Bai Cang River.

For Gao Xuan, Bai Cang River was as if fused with Hongyi Sword.

The situation of Bai Cang River's water flow, every tributary, the encroachment of river water on both banks, was all under Gao Xuan's control.

Through the profound sensing of Bai Cang River, Gao Xuan could even see the people on both banks of the lower and middle reaches working overnight to strengthen the dikes.

For these people, the earth-shattering conflict earlier was unrelated. They could not see it, and even if they did, would not care too much.

The surge of Bai Cang River concerns their life and death. Right now, they have no mind to care about anything else.

At this moment, Gao Xuan suddenly understood the feeling of a Water God. Manipulating the majestic power of heaven and earth naturally leads to overlooking all beings.

Gao Xuan scrutinized Bai Cang River for three thousand miles, immediately found the simplest solution.

Whether Dragon Race or Water God, they cannot act against heaven. Using the majestic power of heaven and earth must follow the trend.

For instance, water flows downward, which is the rule of the universe. If one wants to reverse the river flow, it must rely on pure brute force, essentially opposing the universe.

If heaven and earth are seen as a precisely operating organization, the Divine can be considered its officials. They hold great power within the organization but cannot oppose the rules and regulations of the organization.

Gao Xuan, by absorbing the heart of Bai Cang River with the Hongyi Sword, now serves as the River God of Bai Cang River. He can utilize his grasp of the universal law to achieve his purpose to the fullest extent.

The continuous rain has caused the river to swell, yet Gao Xuan cannot make the surging water disappear instantly.

However, he can achieve his goal through methods aligned with the rules.

The three thousand miles of Bai Cang River, along with countless underground caverns and underground rivers.

Using his own power, Gao Xuan cleared dozens of underground channels, directing the torrential river water into the deep underground.

Through such natural adjustment, the swelling river water quickly calmed down. The water level that seemed close to overflowing the river dikes rapidly declined, returning to normal level.
