Chapter 384: Chapter 383 Departure, East Sea Dragon Palace (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)
In the past, the relationship between aunt and niece was close, almost like mother and daughter. But over the long years, their relationship began to deteriorate and gradually turned into that of enemies.
As for who was right or wrong in this process, it’s hard to discern.
Walking out of the cave mansion, Lu Xuanji was slightly taken aback.
By chance, he witnessed the scene of aunt and niece tearing each other apart.
Wanting to step forward to say something, but feeling it unnecessary, he chose silence.
Not only that, Lu Xian also unconsciously stepped back, avoiding this confrontation.
...
In front of the cave mansion, True Monarch Biyun watched this scene, her limbs felt cold, but she still said coldly: "Ziyun, do you know what era this is? In the era we are in, Spiritual Qi is exhausted, Heaven and Earth Laws are not manifest, the Great Dao is obscure, making cultivation techniques and understanding the Great Dao quite difficult. But according to calculations of the forefathers, in five hundred years at least, or a thousand years at most, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will enter a revival phase, laws will become unprecedentedly active, at that time the speed of cultivation, as well as the number of strong practitioners, will greatly increase."
"In the era of Spiritual Qi revival, at that time in the East Sea Dragon Palace, one after another of talent will emerge, many sealed old monsters will reappear. At that time, Divinity Transformation cultivators will be everywhere, the number of strong practitioners will multiply. At that time, new and old powers will constantly replace each other, battling fiercely and bloodily to snatch some islands, some mines!"
"The Divine Water Palace is just scattered sand, not reliable. Marrying into the East Sea Dragon Palace could take advantage of some opportunities and soar to the nine heavens."
True Monarch Ziyun was slightly touched in her heart, but still stubbornly said: "Aunt, you are quite calculating. However, when that moment comes, if there is conflict between the Human Race and the Demon Race, between the Divine Water Palace and the East Sea Dragon Palace, which side should I stand on? I wish to ask Aunt one or two things."
True Monarch Biyun laughed: "Haha, little Yun’er, you are still a bit naive. Do such questions still need to be asked? Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, you no longer care about so-called races, only eternal interests matter. Why are you still so naive!"
True Monarch Ziyun said: "Aunt, this is where you and I differ. In your eyes, interests are most important; but in my eyes, living happily is most important. To gain interests, Aunt would mingle with certain people, even sell her niece to outsiders."
"But I won’t!"
True Monarch Biyun was enraged, her steps flickered, and she slapped her niece’s face.
At this moment, Lu Xian’s figure flickered, intercepting in front, coldly saying: "Aunt, you’ve gone too far!"
True Monarch Biyun snorted coldly: "Get out of the way!"
"Fellow Daoist, you’re overdoing it!"
Lu Xian spoke.
True Monarch Biyun was enraged, on her palm, Qi Force condensed, transforming into a blue hand seal, striking mercilessly.
"Fellow Daoist, you’ve gone too far!"
Just then, a multicolored sword light flashed, shattering the blue hand seal.
The sword blade continued to slay downward.
True Monarch Biyun’s figure flickered, appearing ten feet away.
With a solemn expression, she said: "How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?"
Lu Xuanji smiled: "True Master Xuanji!"
"True Master Xuanji... Let me think. It seems there’s an extraordinary talent in the Eastern Desolate Chu Kingdom, with Divinity Transformation potential, but this is the Divine Water Palace’s territory, it’s intolerable for you to be impudent here!" True Monarch Biyun said coldly.
"Really?"
Lu Xuanji smiled: "Why not invite some fellow Daoists from the Divine Water Palace to join forces, surround us, and possibly leave us father and son here? A Fellow Daoist alone is still far too lacking!"
"You are impudent!"
True Monarch Biyun said angrily, urging divine techniques, immediately a Cyan Dragon was condensing in the void, transforming into a palm seal, attacking fiercely.
It was indeed the top divine technique of the Divine Water Palace.
But at this moment, the sword light in Lu Xuanji’s hand flickered, the multicolored radiance merged, transforming into endless white light, like snowflakes blooming, like a heavy snowfall drifting down, freezing everything, solidifying all things.
The Cyan Dragon shattered.
The Protective Gang Qi shattered.
The sharp sword blade tore everything, falling on top of True Monarch Biyun’s head.
The murderous aura nosedived, seeming as if it would sever everything in the next moment.
Drip!
Drip!
True Monarch Biyun was drenched in sweat.
Lu Xuanji retracted his blade and stood, calmly saying: "Are you convinced, Fellow Daoist?"
"You!"
True Monarch Biyun wanted to say some defiant words but couldn’t manage to speak.
Defeated, wanting to be defiant but unable to achieve.
"Since you’re not welcoming us, we’ll leave!" Lu Xuanji said: "Xian’Er, Ziyun, let’s pack up and leave now!"
"Alright!"
Lu Xian nodded.
True Monarch Ziyun also nodded.
As they spoke, the young couple began to pack things, though there wasn’t much to pack really.
Moments later, everything was packed.
As they were about to leave, True Monarch Biyun suddenly said: "Be careful of the East Sea Dragon Palace!"
"I understand!"
Lu Xuanji said.
Boarding the flying ship, everyone disappeared.
...
The flying ship kept expanding, inside were Lu Xuanji, Lu Xian, True Monarch Ziyun, and her two maids.
This time, they were leaving the Divine Water Palace.
Departing like this is also good, avoiding sight of mutual disgust.
"How much do you know about the East Sea Dragon Palace?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"I don’t know much, most are handed down by tradition, as for the truth of the content therein, it’s hard to say!" True Monarch Ziyun said.
True Monarch Ziyun’s real name is Ji Ziyun.
Upon becoming a Supreme Elder, able to access most of the secrets of the Divine Water Palace.
After pondering for a moment, True Monarch Ziyun began to speak about some secrets of the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Lu Xuanji listened.
The East Sea Dragon Palace, located deep in the sea, its location is quite hidden.
Especially the complex terrain underwater, such as sea ridges, trenches, underwater jungles, etc., making the seabed even more complex. In this world, the ocean covers a larger area, containing more resources, destined to give birth to more strong practitioners.
In the East Sea region, the East Sea Dragon Palace is the overlord among them.
In the Dragon Palace, pure-blood dragon race is extremely scarce, a scarce population limiting its territorial range.
Many territories need to rely on a large number of Aquatic Race forces to control one or two, the relations among them are quite loose.
True Monarch Ziyun spoke a lot, yet Lu Xuanji was thinking of the marriage contract left behind by the Pure Yang Daoist Monarch.
Just at this moment, Lu Xuanji frowned slightly, urged the flying ship, the aura on the flying ship was restrained, entering an invisible state.
The speed of the flying ship also decreased.
"Is the Divine Water Palace pursuing us?" Lu Xian asked.
"No, instead it’s the East Sea Dragon Palace hunting us!"
Lu Xuanji said.
Urging the flying ship forward, simultaneously Baidu Map displayed information related to the Sea Race, as well as interception routes, etc.
If not for Baidu Map, it might truly be a headlong plunge into a trap.
But now, just taking an extra loop, a month later, closing in on the coast.
