He promised to be his underling, but turned around and went to cling onto Beiming Dragon Cliff’s thigh. I wonder what Ao Ying would feel about it afterward.
"I can only make it up to him later."
Su Yu shook his head, having made up his mind:
"Let’s check out Beiming Dragon Cliff first."
Actually, there wasn’t much choice. The serpent god moved unpredictably, making it hard to track, while the fifth-tier giant Kun followed a fixed pattern in that sea area, easy to locate.
He decided to leave immediately and sent a message to Ao Ying:
"I have something to do in the North Sea first. You go ahead, I’ll catch up soon."
Ao Ying laughed heartily:
"No problem, it’ll take at least a month for my army to launch an attack, more than enough time."
"Alright, let’s agree on that."
After closing the communication, Su Yu headed straight for the teleportation array at Dragon Castle.
A few hours later, he appeared in Beiming Immortal City.
Instead of leaving the city immediately, he wandered around inside.
Beiming Immortal City was established on an undersea plateau, smaller in size than Dragon Castle, but still tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter, with towering peaks and numerous spirit veins. The central main spirit vein was of sixth-tier middle grade, with three sixth-tier lower grade spirit veins, over twenty fifth-tier spirit veins, and hundreds of fourth-tier spirit veins.
The city defense array of Beiming Immortal City was inferior to that of Dragon Castle, being only sixth-tier upper grade, but still sufficient to withstand the siege of several Profound Immortals.
As long as Dragon Castle remained unbroken, Beiming Dragon City would not fall.
Not far from Beiming Dragon City was another super water eye of a scale not inferior to Dragon Castle, where a constant flow of aquatic spirit monsters surged out from the abyss, spreading across the four seas.
Su Yu circled the outskirts of Beiming Dragon City, then flew to the inner city and soon saw a giant turtle with a shell diameter of over six hundred kilometers resting there, its back covered with rugged mountain ridges and expansive palatial complexes stretching for hundreds of miles.
Eight Desolates Dragon Turtle (Mythical): Level 498, Desolate Beast, Guardian of Beiming Dragon City.
This Eight Desolates Dragon Turtle was higher level and larger than the one under the Azure Dragon King’s command in Dragon Castle, though it was unclear where the Dragon Sixth Prince found it.
Su Yu didn’t approach it, just watched from afar and then turned away, heading out of the city.
However, shortly after he left, three figures suddenly appeared on the back of the Eight Desolates Dragon Turtle, with Ao Qing in the center.
The silver-robed man on the left looked at Su Yu’s departing figure and asked in a deep voice:
"Is he the one you’ve chosen?"
Ao Qing nodded:
"Yes, it’s him."
"He hasn’t yet transcended the Celestial Human Tribulation to become immortal."
"That’s not a big issue. His true form is from the Tian Ming civilization, with Destiny accompanying him, his cultivation speed is exceptionally fast. He could become immortal within a few hundred years. With the resources provided by the Dragon Cliff, achieving True Immortal in the future is not out of the question, even Profound Immortal is a slight possibility."
"But we are the Dragon Race."
Ao Qing glanced leftward with a slight smile on his face:
"I saw his true form last time; it gave me a very peculiar feeling."
"What kind of feeling?"
"When he transformed into a true dragon, he gave off a faint aura that made me hesitant to look directly at him. I suspect his bloodline may have traces of atavism."
"???"
Not only the silver-robed man, but even the blue-robed man who had remained silent, looked at him in shock.
"It’s impossible. Since the ancient times shattered, our bloodline can’t possibly revert."
"No need to look at me like that, normally it’s impossible, but now is a new era of mass calamities, with the Heavenly Dao reappearing in the mortal world, anything is possible."
"Besides, seeing as he comes from the Tian Ming civilization, you know how wondrous it can be. Atavism in bloodlines isn’t totally impossible."
"This...."
"Are you sure?"
"I can’t be certain yet, but isn’t it worth a try?"
"Besides, even if he isn’t, his current potential is still worth the gamble."
The other two remained silent, but their silence was consent.
Meanwhile, after departing Beiming Dragon City, Su Yu headed directly northward, toward a specific area.
The location of the fifth-tier giant Kun involved in the third task to drive away the Desolate Beast was easy to find, given its massive size and stationary presence in a particular area.
More than three hours later, Su Yu arrived at a sea area over fifty million kilometers north of Beiming Dragon City, where he spent over two hours before spotting the giant Kun above a sea eye.
Giant Kun (Mythical): Level 495, Deep Sea Desolate Beast.
This giant Kun resembled a whale with a large head and small body, gray with coarse folds, but immensely large, estimated to be over a thousand kilometers from head to tail.
At the moment, it was suspended above the sea eye with its massive mouth open, swallowing the sea.
"Devouring Heaven and Earth!"
