Chapter 175 Heading to Dragon Valley.
Gu Yuena's expression became incredibly complex: "Lin Yuan, did you foresee this all along? Was this what you meant by your promise?"
She recalled Lin Yuan's resolute gaze, and a chill ran through her.
That man was not only unfathomably powerful, but his insight into the Dao was terrifying.
He had known all along that Dragon Valley would appear.
Therefore, he used that promise to secure peace in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, while simultaneously doing the Dragon Clan a tremendous favor.
"Hoo..."
Gu Yuena took a deep breath, her gaze returning to its cold and resolute intensity.
How Lin Yuan found out was no longer important.
What mattered was that it was the burial ground of the Dragon Clan, the resting place of their ancestors!
No outsider would be allowed to trespass upon it!
"Emperor Tian! Zi Ji! Xiong Jun! Wan Yao Wang!"
Gu Yuena's voice, filled with imperial majesty, instantly resounded throughout the core area.
"Your subordinates are here!"
Several terrifying auras soared into the sky, and several ferocious beasts instantly transformed into human form, kneeling before Gu Yuena.
Every single one of them burned with rage and fighting spirit.
Clearly, they too had seen the scene unfolding in the sky.
Gu Yuena, wielding her silver dragon spear, swept her gaze over the ferocious beasts: "Follow me, immediately to Dragon Valley! To bury our ancestors!"
"As for the Crimson King and the Demon Spirit, you will remain in the Star Dou Great Forest, guarding the Lake of Life."
At this point, Gu Yuena's eyes blazed with murderous intent, the surrounding space cracking under its weight: "Those greedy humans outside, if they dare to attempt to lay a hand on the Lake of Life at this moment..."
"Kill them without mercy!"
"Yes! We obey our lord's command!"
The ferocious beasts roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
Gu Yuena waved her hand, and the space before her instantly trembled violently.
A silver spatial gate opened out of thin air, leading directly to the entrance of Dragon Valley as indicated by the celestial curtain.
"Let's go!"
Gu Yuena took the lead, leading Di Tian and the others, stepping into it without hesitation.
Seagod Island, Seahorse City.
Lin Yuan's gaze was fixed on the celestial curtain, but a faint doubt lingered between his brows.
"Strange, I knew Dragon Valley would be on the list."
"It contains the remains of thousands of true dragons, and even the Dragon God's Heart, which would make even a God-King envious."
"Logically, with such resources, it should be able to reach the top of the list."
"How come it's only ranked second?"
"Then where will the first place be?"
Dugu Bo asked curiously from the side, "Little monster, stop thinking about the first place."
"Aren't you interested in this Dragon Valley?"
"There are thousands of dragon bones and dragon souls inside!"
"And the celestial curtain's enhancement said that Dragon Cloud can also improve physique, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Just now, Dugu Bo also passed the Black-level Fourth Trial.
While it couldn't compare to the red-level or top-level talents of those lesser monsters, in the history of Seagod Island, this was still considered a talent at the level of a Holy Pillar Guardian.
After all, Dugu Bo was old, and without the cultivation technique Lin Yuan gave him, his potential would have been exhausted long ago.
To achieve a black-level was already incredibly lucky.
Seeing the old poisoner's eager expression, Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, directly pouring cold water on his enthusiasm.
"Interested? Of course I'm interested."
"That Dragon God's Heart is a treasure even I'm somewhat envious of."
"However..." Lin Yuan's tone changed, becoming serious, "We can't go to Dragon Valley."
"Why?" Dugu Bo asked, puzzled.
Lin Yuan pointed to the fleeting silver figure in the sky:
"Those buried there are the ancestors of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena."
"Do you think that, given the temperament of that Soul Beast Lord, would let humans dig up her ancestors' graves?"
"If we go, we'll inevitably have to wage a full-scale war against the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"At that time, it won't be as simple as seizing opportunities; it will be a fight to the death."
"Hiss—"
"The Silver Dragon King's strength is said to be at the half-step God King level. Wouldn't those Soul Masters and Soul Beasts outside be... courting death if they wanted to go in and gain some benefits?"
Lin Yuan nodded and said calmly, "Well, I don't know if Soul Beasts will die if they go, but if human Soul Masters go... hehe, they'll most likely become fertilizer."
"Moreover, this is also an agreement between me and Gu Yuena."
"Back then at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, she wanted to take the two corpses of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings from the bottom of the lake."
"But I wouldn't allow it."
"After all, if those two corpses were taken away, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye would inevitably wither and become completely useless within a thousand years."
"So I promised her that if any opportunities related to the Dragon Clan appeared on the subsequent Opportunity Ranking, I, Lin Yuan, would not interfere."
"A person without integrity cannot stand. Since I promised, I must keep my word."
After hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression became strange, and he looked Lin Yuan up and down:
"Little monster, you're really something."
"But speaking of which, she is the ruler of all Soul Beasts. How can she be so easy to talk to?"
"Could it be that you can really beat her?"
Hearing this question, Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Who knows?"
"After all, the effect of my domain is limited to opponents who are no more than thirty levels higher than me."
"If Gu Yuena were at her peak, she would be a half-step God King, or even a God King."
"That would be at least a level 145 or higher in divine power. "
"That's already beyond the scope of my current domain."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo chuckled, with a "I don't believe you for a second" expression on his face.
"Come on, little monster."
"A domain, in the end, is just a means to assist a Soul Master."
"Generally speaking, someone who possesses such a monstrous domain only proves one thing: the Soul Master themselves are even more monstrous!"
"With so many million-year Soul Rings all over your body, who knows, you might actually be able to unleash combat power comparable to a God King?"
Lin Yuan chuckled, neither admitting nor denying.
"Who knows, old monster, I haven't tried it."
"I only know that if the two of us really fight to the death, it won't benefit anyone."
"At that time, let alone the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the entire Sunset Forest will probably be sunk in the aftershocks of the battle."
"Since we can resolve it through negotiation, why fight and kill?"
"We're on Seagod Island now, let's seize the Seagod's opportunity, improve our Soul Power and Soul Ring Age, and watch others fight to the death, isn't that wonderful?"
Demon Whale Sea.
Deep in the seabed, inside a palace built from countless sunken ship treasures.
"Hahaha! Good! Excellent!"
A wild, unrestrained laugh shook the entire crystal palace.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, now in human form as a one-eyed giant, stared intently at the sky, his eyes filled with greed and fanaticism.
"Dragon Valley! It's actually Dragon Valley!"
"Just what I wanted!"
