After discussion, everyone agreed on the plan. Through the joint efforts of Ye Wuji, Fengyunzi, Bingxin, and the dragon clan, the seal on the Kui Niu was partially lifted. A portion of its power and consciousness was freed to move about, but its core origin remained sealed deep within the eye of the sea, ensuring it could not fully recover its terrifying primal might.
The Kui Niu quickly adapted to this state, ceasing its violent rampages and instead revealing a side entirely different from legend—it was knowledgeable and possessed a deep understanding of marine ecology and water-system spiritual veins. Witnessed by Dragon King Ao Guang, the Kui Niu reached an agreement with Ye Wuji: it would assist the dragon clan in maintaining the stability of the East Sea waters, especially during the upcoming Heavenly Spiritual Tide, helping to control the abnormal fluctuations of spiritual qi in the sea eye. In return, Ye Wuji promised that after the spiritual tide passed, if the Kui Niu performed well, he would consider further easing the seal.
"Many thanks to Sect Master Ye for your discerning eye and for resolving this crisis," the Dragon King Ao Guang said gratefully. "Had the Sect Master not arrived in time, the East Sea would likely have been plunged into devastation."
