Chapter 1.1 - The Blue Dragon in Star Sea Dragon Palace - Unwilling Death Under the Tree of Wis.h.i.+ng
Star Realm, one of Nine Realms, has thousands of hectares of land and vast seas. The islands were like pearls, dotted on a blue picture. No matter what era, there was no end to the tide, heroes kept appearing.
Among the heroes, Jiang Bo, the vicissitudes Sea Dragon King ruled over the seas. Before his death, he felt no one would succeed him. So he set up the secret Star Sea Dragon Palace and left it to fate to pa.s.s on his mantle.
This news spread, causing a stir. Countless people spent years to find Star Sea Dragon Palace and become the next generation Sea Dragon King.
Chu Yun was one of them.
“The heavens and the earth are hidden under the sea, and the stars lead countless lights.” The Sea Dragon King Jiang Bo left only this clue. Numerous people wanted to break their heads for this, and even ruined their homes for treasure hunting. Yet after 130 years, the Star Sea Dragon Palace is still shrouded in myth. But today I finally found it!”
The blue water was surging beside him. The light was flowing like dreams. In the clear sight, coral trees formed a forest, permeating the white sand, as if it were a golden-glowing cloud.
Chu Yun stood in front of the palace’s door, his heart stirred.
He looked around and already knew that these coral trees were laid into a huge illusion array by the Sea Dragon King Jiang Bo. If people wanted to pa.s.s here, they must wait for a starry night with no moon and follow the way guided by the light pattern projected by the starlight on the sea.
This huge mystery was designed to be awe-inspiring and magical. There were no traces of artificial arrangement, and it’s perfectly integrated with nature.
The coral forest here was beautiful, gorgeous, and has covered a vast area. It’s recognized as one of the eight wonders of Star Realm. Every year, a large number of tourists came here to enjoy the great scenery.
“Who would have thought that the legendary Star Sea Dragon Palace was actually placed under people’s eyelids? The more people focus on the beauty of these coral forests, the more they will be fascinated by it. The only way to find the palace is to ignore the beauty and walk around, relying on the light spot projected by the starlight on the sea to break through the mysterious array and reach the heart of the array. Hey, if I discovered this secret more than ten years ago, how good it should be! ”
Chu Yun couldn’t help but sigh. Although he was only thirty-six years old at this time, he was ill and withered. His left leg was replaced with artificial limbs. He was not like a strong man standing in his thirties, but like an old man in his seventies.
He was also scarred with internal injuries. These were the traces of his perennial explorations. When exploring treasures in various relics, tombs, dangerous places, s.h.i.+pwrecks, and other environments, he encountered traces of large inst.i.tutions and powerful enemies.
Chu Yun loved adventure, loved freedom, and was unwilling to be mediocre. This character made him a well-known explorer in the Star Realm.
But Chu Yun knew that this was his life’s final achievement.
He knew very well about his physical condition. His vitality was completely hollowed out, and it’s entirely a miracle for him to live to this day.
On land, he couldn’t walk for half an hour before he had to sit down and rest. In cold weather, all joints in his whole body were cold and sore. Sometimes he couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night.
Seeing people of the same age striding forward in front of himself, Chu Yun was also envious, but did not regret it.
For a low-level celebrity like him, his words were light and weak, and he was not able to defeat those arrogant young masters who had great teachers and big forces behind them to support their cultivation. He could only take the risk, and continued to explore, seeking benefits in huge risks to support his cultivation.
However, the results were not satisfactory. At this point, he was definitely not a success.
Star Sea Dragon Palace was just one of his many goals. With years of rich experience, he collected all the deeds of Jiang Bo, from his various performances in his later years, made bold a.s.sumptions, and carefully verified.
It took only three years to find this place.
Star Sea Dragon Palace, the inheritance of the former Sea Dragon King!
After more than an hour, Chu Yun finally entered the Dragon Palace.
The architecture of the Dragon Palace was majestic and magnificent, with pavilions, flowers, and courtyards. The layout was gorgeous and exquisite. Flowers, birds, insects and fishes, small bridges and flowing water complement each other and were full of vitality.
This was the paradise on the earth, which was developed spontaneously by the power of the deep sea.
Before the death of the Dragon King, he lived here. This was the place where his heroic life ended.
Chu Yun was secretly surprised-the tests he expected did not appear.
It stood to reason that Star Sea Dragon Palace was the place where Sea Dragon King Jiang Bo pa.s.sed on. At least a few tests would be designed to test the successor.
But think about it, Jiang Bo has always been known for his eclectic, magnanimous, and magnanimous character, so Chu Yun was relieved.
As soon as he arrived at the front hall, he was stunned by the sight in the hall.
In the s.p.a.cious hall, two hills were piled. The black one on the left was full of Earthly Stone Coins. The one on the right was a little shorter, with white light s.h.i.+ning, all of it was Heavenly Stone Coins.
Earthly Stone Coins and Heavenly Stone Coins were common currency in Star Realm. These two mountains were great wealth!
Chu Yun estimated that the hill of Earthly Stone Coins was enough to buy a town-level island and set a solid foundation for future generations. Not to mention the higher value of the hill of Heavenly Stone Coins.
“Sea Dragon King Jiang Bo is a hegemon, the king of the seas. It stands to reason that his wealth should be far more than these stone coins. However, he often spends a lot of money to fight for justice. It makes sense that only this much remains.”
Chu Yun was slightly shocked and calmed down. If he was ten years younger and came here, this wealth would be his starting point. But now, he was old, almost exhausted. No amount of wealth was useful for him now.
He walked past the front hall and came to the middle hall.
In the middle hall, there were thirty jade tables. Each was ten steps apart.
Chu Yun glanced and found that some tables had pill bottles, some tables had a jade slip of spell, and some table cases were monster eggs.
Then his mood surged, and he could not help but expect and eagerly.
His wounds could also be cured by a limited number of ways. The first was the well-known Vitality Creation Pill. The second was Myriad Years Azure Dragon, known for its longevity.
Jiang Bo was the king of the seas. It’s possible that these two things were in his heritage. As long as Chu Yun found Vitality Creation Pill here, or one of the monster eggs hatching of Myriad Years Azure Dragon, he could cure himself and be reborn.
“Not this, nor this … that, nor …”
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Thirty pieces of jade tables were filled with strange treasures, and if they were randomly left outside, they could cause a b.l.o.o.d.y storm. But there was no Vitality Creation Pill or the monster egg of Myriad Years Azure Dragon.
The ones with the highest value were the three jade tables placed on the highest ground.
On top of the left one was a flute, which was Jiang Bo’s famous monster weapon, Blue Sea Wave Flute. (1)
On top of the middle one, there was the method of controlling monsters -“Laughing Sea”.
On the last was a jade slip, which recorded a marriage contract. After becoming the successor of the Sea Dragon King, anyone could take this marriage contract and go to Mermaid Island to marry any princess of this country.
These three things, plus the two hills of the front hall, represented what most people seek: money, beauty, and power.
“Unfortunately, it’s useless to me.” Chu Yun laughed at himself. He had burned his life completely and lost all his vitality. His time was running out. What’s the use of these things for him?
“If I found this place twenty years ago… no, just ten years ago, that would be great!” He slowly shook his head, sighing with regret, instead of taking away the things from the jade case, he went to the apse.
There was a dragon in the apse!
