Chapter 114: Chapter 41 Dragon Palace Edict i

Translator: 549690339 I

The River Ji Dragon Seal, having absorbed the spirit essence from the death of Prince Ji Du, had already shed its former crude appearance akin to a stubborn stone, undergoing a drastic transformation.

This dragon seal is no longer a mere symbol, but a true imperial seal capable of controlling the ancestral source of the River Ji.

As Shen Yuan took the River Ji Dragon Seal out from his Storage Ring, the seal started to furiously absorb the Spirit Energy in the Secret Realm, like a traveler in the desert who finally found a source of water.

In between the consumption and release of Spirit Energy, a mist rose from the mouth of the carved Divine Dragon, seeming ready to break free from the seal’s restraint and take flight, returning to the River Ji waterways thousands of miles away.

However, this Secret Realm was detatched from the real world and could not allow the River Ji Dragon Seal to re-establish connection with the River Ji waterways.

Meanwhile, far away in the largest Dragon Sovereign Temple by the River Ji, a group of muscular men wearing black uniforms and sunglasses have “escorted” all visitors out of the temple.

Everyone, inclusive of the temple priest, was driven out of the vast Dragon Sovereign Temple, leaving all the palaces empty.

Within the main hall of the Dragon Sovereign Temple, a small and skinny young man knelt at a desk, pinching a magic signet in his hand with an extremely respectful expression on his face.

At the end of the left side of the Dragon Sovereign statue, a statue of a deity with a red official uniform and a dragon head and a human body seemed to come alive, and with a wave of the giant hand, a light gold token slowly fell in front of the young man.

The red official uniformed Dragon Tribe deity looked deeply at the young man, and then its divine light dimmed in its eyes, completely turning into a stone statue.

“Farewell, Tidal Dragon Envoy!”

Despite the departure of the Dragon Tribe deity, Sunn Lanyu did not immediately stand up. Instead, he continued to kneel on the ground, loudly praising the dragon envoy’s honorary name.

Only after a while, Sunn Lanyu slowly stood up and looked at the token in front of him.

On the front of this token, the word “Ji Du” was written, and right below it was a giant “imperial edict” character formed by a Divine Dragon soaring in the sky.

As his gaze focused on the token, the young man seemed to hear the sound of waves. Within a hundred miles, all the waterways were under his gaze.

Whether it was young members of the Aquatic Tribe that had just birthed their Spiritual Wisdom, or high-ranking Aquatic deities who controlled an area of water, none could escape his sight.

If he wished, he could use this Dragon Palace Edict to mobilize the water within a hundred miles of River Ji and exterminate all the Aquatic Tribe members within.

Such a feat was far beyond even the ability of those at the Qi Training Stage.

Such powerful force made Sunn Lanyu lose himself in the middle of it.

Actually, half a day ago, a decree from the River Ji Dragon Palace had spread throughout the River Ji waterways.

To the Aquatic Tribe of the River Ji, the River Ji Dragon Palace had always been the ruler of everything. Even though the Spirit Energy depletion caused the Palace to hide within the secular world for three thousand years, it still firmly controlled the River Ji waterways.

No member of the Aquatic Tribe dared to defy the edict of the River Ji Dragon Palace.

Besides the surprise about the loss of the River Ji Dragon Seal, the contents of the edict also elicited immense joy within the tribe.

If one could obtain the River Ji Dragon Seal, one would undoubtedly be valued by the River Ji Dragon Palace. Perhaps it would even result in the opportunity to receive blessings from the River Ji Dragon Sovereign and transcend the “Dragon Gate,” ultimately becoming a revered member of the Dragon Tribe.

Transformation to a Dragon was the ultimate goal of all members of the Aquatic Tribe. Even shrimp, crabs, and clams still had the chance to transform into a dragon species.

So, after the edict was released, all the Aquatic Tribe members in the Ji River had gone into a frenzy, beginning their extensive search for the River Ji Dragon Seal.

The decree sent from the River Ji Dragon Palace could approximate the Dragon Seal’s position. According to the directions of the Dragon Palace edict, some deities of the Aquatic Tribe determined that the Dragon Seal should be in the west of the Ji River’s water region.

However, just as the huge net of the Ji River Dragon Palace was about to descend, the direction provided by the Dragon Palace edict suddenly disappeared.

The River Ji Dragon Seal, that was originally observed within the River Ji Dragon Palace, suddenly lost its trace.

A large number of Aquatic Tribe members were immediately thrown into a panic, and the River Ji Dragon Palace was once again shaken. Even a True Dragon’s force broke through the blessed land of the River Ji Dragon Palace into the secular world, but it still couldn’t find the trace of the River Ji Dragon Seal.

Such an enormous commotion naturally attracted attention from beings outside the Aquatic Tribe, including the Sunn Family from Cang Province.

Similar to the Yu Family which served the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch, there were numerous families under the River Ji Dragon Palace, one of which was the Sunn Family.

The legacy of the Sunn Family was only over three thousand years, not as long as the other older families that had served the River Ji Dragon Palace since ten thousand years ago.

But the Sunn Family possessed an advantage that others couldn’t match. Their ancestors once received favor from a mixed-blood dragon offspring of the River Ji Dragon Palace, thus their bloodline contained the Dragon Palace’s blood.

Hence, right when the River Ji Dragon Palace’s edict was sent out, Sunn Lanyu sensed the brief appearance of the River Ji Dragon Palace, and engaged the Aquatic Tribe members he was familiar with to keep a close watch on the Dragon Palace movements.

The disappearance of the River Ji Dragon Seal left the Dragon Palace helpless, but Sunn Lanyu saw a chance that others missed.

He took the initiative to come to the biggest Dragon Sovereign Temple by the River Ji, prayed to his family’s ancestor with the Sunn’s family bloodline, and proposed to utilize the human power to find the River Ji Dragon Seal.

His prayer had received a response from his ancestor, the Tidal Dragon Envoy under the River Ji Dragon Sovereign.

The Tidal Dragon Envoy was one of the eight Dragon envoys in the River Ji Dragon Palace, and held a high position within the palace.

However, to the Tidal Dragon Envoy, the Sunn Family was just an offspring grown from an accidental encounter he had with a female servant, and was not worthy of his attention.

Yet, because the loss of River Ji Dragon Seal was of great importance, and Sunn Lanyu proactively brought up a solution at such a critical moment, it was worth a try regardless of the effect.

After receiving a response from the Tidal Dragon Envoy, Sunn Lanyu immediately shared his method with the envoy.

For this reason, he even mentioned the Q&A Forum, a gathering place for the top elites of the Human Clan, and even used the ten thousand points he had previously earned through trading Divine Secret Skills on behalf of his family, and invested all of them in the forum in search of clues.

Although the Tidal Dragon Envoy looked down on the Sunn Family, he had a high regard for the Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the major sects behind the Q&A Forum, and quickly agreed to Sunn Lanyu’s proposal, issuing a real Dragon Palace Edict.

Once holding the River Ji Dragon Palace Edict, Sunn Lanyu could command all the creatures of the Aquatic Tribe within the scope of River Ji, and as long as the River Ji Dragon Seal materialized, the Dragon Palace Edict would lock onto its trace immediately.

Moreover, this Dragon Palace Edict carries a trace of ancestor energy, which can quickly identify whether the clues about the River Ji Dragon Seal are true or false, confirming the current state of the River Ji Dragon Seal.

In order to issue the Dragon Palace Edict to break the current worldly environment, the River Ji Dragon Palace paid a significant cost.

The only demand from the River Ji Dragon Palace was to retrieve the River Ji Dragon Seal as soon as possible, even allowing Sunn Lanyu to act in the name of the River Ji Dragon Palace.

The response filled Sunn Lanyu with ecstatic joy.

After all, this represented one of the Four Waterways, commanding hundreds of millions of the Aquatic Tribe. Even though the current circumstances made it difficult for the River Ji Dragon Palace to manifest, its supreme authority remained unchallenged.

Even the Great Xia’s Imperial Court and the reclusive Immortal Sect needed to give due respect to the River Ji Dragon Palace, let alone others.

Possessing the power to act on behalf of the River Ji Dragon Palace meant that their Sunn Family had leaped from a medium-sized family in Cang Province to a top-ranking family that can influence the entire situation in Great Xia.

It could be foreseen that the Sunn Family was bound for a swift rise.

Holding the Dragon Palace Edict, Sunn Lanyu was flushed with excitement. He could almost see how high the Sunn Family could rise in the future.

The Sunn Family of Cang Province? No, our Sunn family cannot be limited to one province.

What I want is the Sunn Family of River Ji, even the first Sunn Family in the thirteen provinces of the Southern Territories!”

Long after, Sunn Lanyu slightly calmed down from his previous excited mental state.

Having achieved the support of the River Ji Dragon Palace, achieving great things is a certainty. The only issue now was how to complete the task assigned by the River Ji Dragon Palace and find the lost River Ji Dragon Seal.

If he could retrieve the Dragon Seal, the rise of the Sunn Family would be imminent.

But if he didn’t find any trace of the Dragon Seal-

Thinking up to here, Sunn Lanyu couldn’t help but shiver.

The River Ji Dragon Palace has never been a good place to deal with. Over the tens of thousands of years, countless of the Aquatic Tribe have challenged the River Ji Dragon Palace, and buried beneath that palace are countless corpses.

Reliance on the Q&A Forum alone might not be sufficient, preparations must be made through other channels in advance.

I heard that the Eden of the Immortals knows everything in the world, but I don’t know if I could visit through the name of the River Ji Dragon Palace.

However, a mere blessed land should not have the credentials to refuse the River Ji Dragon Palace.

Once this thought crossed his mind, Sunn Lanyu walked out of the main hall of the Dragon Sovereign Temple at a leisurely pace.

At this moment, he suddenly spotted a member of the Sunn Family, a young man in uniform, running into the direction of the Dragon Sovereign Temple gate in a hurry.

Sunn Lanyu furrowed his brows, an annoyed expression on his face.

What on earth is so urgent that one even forgot the need to report before entering the Dragon Sovereign Temple?

It seems the servants of the family are growing more and more unaware of the rules. The rise of the Sunn Family is imminent, it is time to eliminate those who don’t understand the rules.

At this point, the servant of the Sunn Family who barged into the Dragon Sovereign Temple anxiously stated.

Sir, the question you posted has received a reply!

What?

On hearing this, Sunn Lanyu couldn’t be bothered with clan discipline. He immediately pulled out his phone from his pocket, to look at the response that had appeared underneath his question on the Q&A Forum.

Falling Clouds: The River Ji Dragon Seal, it is currently in a Secret Realm.

Within Wenn City, Inside the Courtyard Secret Realm.

Shen Yuan plays with the River Ji Dragon Seal and looks at the message he just sent with interest.

Since the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch was plotted by the River Ji Dragon Palace, and the Prince Ji Du flooded the Yunmeng Swampland for his own selfish desires, Shen Yuan’s impression of the River Ji Dragon Palace had dropped to the extreme.

Furthermore, Shen Ye killed Prince Ji Du, and the River Ji Dragon Seal was also in Shen Yuan’s hands, naturally placing the two on opposite sides.

Now that the River Ji Dragon Palace is looking for clues about the Dragon Seal, Shen Yuan didn’t mind making a profit from them.

Anyway, there was no mistake in what Shen Yuan said, the River Ji Dragon Seal indeed was in a Secret Realm. However, he didn’t tell them that the Secret Realm was created by him.

As Shen Yuan waited for the points to be credited, there was suddenly a shake on the Q&A forum interface.

Shen Yuan turned to look, saw a private message from the Q&A forum popping up in front of him.

Sunn Lanyu: Where exactly is the Secret Realm you’re talking about? How did you know about this? And just who are you?
