Chapter 788: Chapter 787: Transcendance Tribulation Stage Fights Back Against Semi-Immortal

The battle between those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and Semi-Immortals was about to erupt, a high-level combat which hadn’t been seen in the East Sea for a hundred thousand years.

As a seasoned veteran at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the respected Hei Yu acted decisively and without hesitation.

While Vast Sea Daoist Lord was immersed in the sorrow of his memories, he secretly spurred the Dao of Time in a counterattack against Vast Sea Daoist Lord, appealing to time to unravel a corner of the historical truth.

Vast Sea Daoist Lord dared not be careless, countering with the embryonic outline of the Spatial Dao Fruit.

Hei Yu even used some unknown secret technique, causing Vast Sea Daoist Lord to lose one of his five senses, leaving him temporarily deaf. Even as Hei Yu pleaded for mercy multiple times, Vast Sea Daoist Lord heard none of it.

Vast Sea Daoist Lord narrowly won, yet Hei Yu was defeated with honor!

Meng Jingzhou felt that the Kunpeng Clan truly deserved their reputation as one the ten great Sea Clans; their survival to this day must surely be tied to their formidable strength.

Out of consideration for the many races coming and going above the surface of the East Sea and the presence of the Kunpeng people nearby, Vast Sea Daoist Lord didn’t strike with full force, thus leaving Hei Yu with some dignity.

Therefore, Hei Yu’s face was not looking good.

Xiao, the Clan Leader, and Xiao Xinghai sighed inwardly, feeling the elder truly courted death by speaking recklessly about everything.

Xiao Xinghai was almost ready to bring out a coffin, to prevent the elder from having an unattended corpse left in the wilderness, which would make people say that the descendants of the Kunpeng Clan were unfilial.

No need to bring it out since he’s still alive.

This coffin had been soaked in a large amount of Dragon’s Blood, turning the pure black coffin completely blood red inside and out, which looked particularly terrifying, and its quality had risen by a half tier compared to before.

Upon hearing the shameful past uncovered by Hei Yu, Su Yi Ren became even more determined to make good use of the Yang Invigorating Essence Blood in the bottle.

“Exactly which kind of Demon Beast’s blood is this? It seems even more effective than Dragon and Phoenix blood; could it possibly be from an offspring produced by a Dragon and a Phoenix?”

A group of people sneaked into the East Sea, and as soon as they went under the water, they heard someone calling out.

“Yi Ren, over here, over here!”

Looking toward the voice, Su Yi Ren saw a Dragon girl draped in a flowing, colorful scale dress waving at her.

The Dragon girl’s facial features were smooth and she was a rare gentle beauty.

“Gu’er, what are you doing here?” Su Yi Ren asked in surprise; it was this very Ao Gu’er who had invited her to the Old Dragon Emperor’s birthday banquet.

Ao Gu’er took Su Yi Ren’s hand, her dissatisfaction apparent, “That’s what I’m saying, you didn’t come to the Dragon Palace to see me sooner, waiting until the day of the banquet to show up.”

Ao Gu’er didn’t forget the matter at hand and formally greeted Vast Sea Daoist Lord, “This must be Senior Vast Sea, my father sent me here to wait for you all.”

Upon hearing the name Ao Gu’er, the expressions of Meng Jingzhou and others turned odd.

After all, it had been from Ao Gu’er that Daoist Buyu had stolen the Dragon Ball, shamelessly calling her ‘mommy’ afterward.

It was fortunate that Lu Yang hadn’t come along; otherwise, what an awkward situation this would be.

Meng Jingzhou thought again that it was wrong; he was just an onlooker enjoying the show, what did Lu Yang’s awkwardness have to do with him?

It’s a pity Old Lu didn’t come.

Ao Gu’er led everyone to dive down, all the way to the bottom of the sea, to the end of the Sea City intricately shaped like a True Dragon—the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace was surrounded by age-old corals, with gently swaying seaweeds as curtains, and the palace complex was majestic and splendid.

The interior walls of the Dragon Palace were inlaid with a variety of dazzling gemstones and pearls, emitting a soft, yet blinding light.

There were numerous shrimp and crab guards standing in strict vigilance, as well as patrolling members of the Yaksha clan.

A portion of the guests had already arrived at the Dragon Palace; they were the heads of major forces, extremely interested in the movements of the top cultivators of the Cultivation World. Vast Sea Daoist Lord was no mystery, having been very active fifty thousand years ago, with many images of him passed down through the ages.

“Look, that’s Vast Sea Daoist Lord!”

“The legendary Semi-Immortal…”

“Why don’t we have such characters in the East Sea?”

“In the struggle of the Great Era, even Semi-Immortals have begun to appear.”

Ao Gu’er led the group through the Dragon Palace and arrived at its deepest part, pushing open the heavy doors where an ancient Azure Dragon coiled around a giant stone pillar that seemed to have no end in sight.

In front of Vast Sea Daoist Lord, the Old Dragon Emperor dared not act arrogantly. He climbed down from the stone pillar and, with a thud, transformed into human form.

The Old Dragon Emperor really was very old. Having taken human form, he resembled an elder with one foot in the coffin, tremblingly walking as if a single wave could knock him over. Ao Gu’er hurriedly went to support him.

“Ao Cang pays his respects to Senior Vast Sea.”

“Enough, if you’re unwell, there’s no need to strain yourself,” Vast Sea Daoist Lord said, seeing the Old Dragon Emperor like this, worried he might fall over and lose consciousness.

“I’ve come here to talk about the matter of the Dragon Ball. Originally, I had planned to use my Embryonic Dao Fruit to easily find Lu Yang and your Dragon Ball.”

“I just don’t know what went wrong later on, but I’ve been unable to find him. What’s so special about your Dragon Ball?”

The Old Dragon Emperor shook his head: “I don’t know either. I only know it’s an ancient relic, indestructible and has the power to detoxify. I didn’t even know there was a smaller pearl inside the Dragon Ball.”

“An ancient relic, and you’ve never thought to investigate its origins?”

The Old Dragon Emperor looked troubled: “Senior, as you know, there have been gaps in history. We know so little of the ancient times. When our ancestors inherited the Dragon Palace, it was filled with all kinds of heavenly materials and Spirit Treasures, and we didn’t recognize many of them. The Dragon Ball was among these treasures, not particularly conspicuous.”

“It took us tens of thousands of years, but we finally managed to categorize all these treasures.”

“Just categorizing them was difficult enough; tracing their origins is even more impossible. You can understand that, right?”

Vast Sea Daoist Lord blew his beard and glared. When had he ever experienced such wealth? If the Seek Dao Sect had been this rich, would he have become known as a great reviver of the sect?

Wasn’t it because he appeared when the Seek Dao Sect was at its poorest that he was hailed as a reviver?

Even though he later made the Seek Dao Sect wealthy, it hadn’t reached the ostentatious level of the Dragon Palace.

Of course, the Seek Dao Sect was definitely richer than the Long Clan now, having taken down several lairs of Semi-Immortals.

“Well then, since you don’t have any leads, I will try harder to find them after the birthday banquet is over.” Vast Sea Daoist Lord said it casually, but he had no confidence in his heart.

With no leads, where was he going to find Lu Yang?

He had promised to protect him, yet it was an inauspicious start.

“By the way, Senior, there is someone from our Long Clan who would like to meet you,” the Old Dragon Emperor said.

“Who?” Vast Sea Daoist Lord thought to himself. He hadn’t been to the Dragon Palace for tens of thousands of years, what familiar person could there be?

A graceful and alluring Dragon Beauty emerged from behind the stone pillar. Her eyes captivated the soul, and the three dragon scales on her forehead added an irresistible charm.

“Yi, Yi Ren?”

Vast Sea Daoist Lord was unsettled, this person was Ao Ya, who had left an indelible mark in his heart.

“You’ve become a Semi-Immortal too?!”

It had been fifty thousand years; could someone in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage live that long?

In front of Ao Ya, Vast Sea Daoist Lord became visibly uncomfortable, not knowing where to put his hands.

Ao Ya gave Vast Sea Daoist Lord a look: “I’m not as capable as you are. I was just a person at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Before I went into slumber, I told my descendants to either wake me up if the Long Clan faced a crisis or when you resurfaced.”

Ao Ya, smiling radiantly, took Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s hand and pulled him toward the adjacent room without any explanation: “Conveniently, I’ve just awakened a few days ago and haven’t restored my strength to its former level. It’s a perfect time for Intercourse Cultivation with me. It’s also a good opportunity to discuss why you ran away back then!”

Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s face turned pale in an instant. He came to the East Sea to protect Lu Yang but somehow, his chastity was jeopardized first?

The Transcendance Tribulation Stage was challenging a Semi-Immortal once again.
