Under the depths of the East Sea, Ye Yu gazed towards the abyss ahead with a strange look.
“Are you sure this is the entrance to the East Sea treasure?”
“I’m certain!”
Su Yao’s tone was very firm.
Back then, in the dream, when Su Yao learned the secret of the Sea Controlling Trident, she was on the verge of ascension.
The words “East Sea treasure” indeed sounded very enticing. But Ye Yu was dead, and Su Yao had no interest in anything.
At that moment, she held only one thought in her heart. That was to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
Ye Yu had told her just before he died that she must ascend to the Heavenly Realm and take a good look at the world above.
So, Su Yao had always held onto a sliver of hope. She even thought that Ye Yu might reincarnate and come to find her in the Heavenly Realm.
Thus, she returned the Sea Controlling Trident to Ye Yu’s ice coffin, ascending to the Heavenly Realm alone.
However, upon arriving in the Heavenly Realm, she waited for a thousand years but never saw Ye Yu arrive.
Su Yao could not bear the loneliness of a millennium. She chose to end her own life. Only then did she wake from the dream.
Now, standing before the abyss, her gaze was unwavering.
Since she could relive a lifetime, then this East Sea treasure was destined to belong to Ye Yu. It could also be considered her dowry!
“Husband, please let me borrow the Sea Controlling Trident for a moment!”
“There’s no need to say ‘borrow’ between us.”
Ye Yu couldn’t help but chuckle softly, throwing the Sea Controlling Trident over.
To be honest, he felt that Su Yao was being a bit too formal.
The Sea Controlling Trident was something she had given him. To say “borrow” felt a bit too distant.
No, he decided. When he returns tonight, he must practice calligraphy with Su Yao, to eliminate this sense of distance!
After Su Yao received the Sea Controlling Trident, she held it upright in front of her, channeling her spiritual energy into it.
In an instant, the trident erupted with an extremely strong radiance.
The surrounding seawater automatically parted, forming a vacuum zone.
The dry environment made Ye Yu feel quite nostalgic.
At this moment, an open space appeared before the abyss. On the ground, there was a faint, indistinct indentation.
With a human body and a fish tail, Su Yao held the Sea Controlling Trident, her hair billowing, exuding great heroism.
She resembled a queen of the sea.
Suddenly, she leaped down. With all her might, she thrust the Sea Controlling Trident into the indentation.
The next second, the surrounding environment began to tremble violently.
The abyss ahead radiated dazzling light.
From the outside, one could see none of the scenes beyond the light barrier.
Su Yao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
She approached Ye Yu and said, “Husband, this is the place said to be the East Sea treasure. Let’s go inside and see; there may be the Water Essence within!”
Ye Yu nodded slightly, no longer doubting.
He then led Su Yao into the light.
It seemed as if there was a layer of water barrier. It was easy to penetrate it.
After entering, a resplendent dragon palace appeared before them. The enormous structure left a shocking impression.
Even Su Yao was quite astonished. This was her first time visiting this place.
The two did not hesitate and went straight into the palace.
They discovered it was filled with spiritual stones. In addition, the walls were carved with countless compartments, each holding a variety of items.
Techniques, spiritual artifacts, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures—everything was there.
It was dazzling.
At the very top, there was a blue gem that emitted a faint glow.
Su Yao spoke, “Husband, this item is the East Sea Pearl. As long as it is embedded into the Sea Controlling Trident, the seal can be completely unraveled.”
“It will allow the Sea Controlling Trident to successfully transform into a quasi-immortal artifact!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu was astonished and murmured, “Quasi-immortal artifact? That powerful?”
Based on the rewards he obtained in his dream, Ye Yu knew that the Sea Controlling Trident was merely a sealed version.
He had originally thought that unsealing it would only upgrade it to a high-tier spiritual artifact. He never expected it could reach the level of a quasi-immortal artifact.
If that were the case, then becoming the Sea King didn’t seem so bad!
Su Yao nodded and said, “Of course! It is said that the Sea Controlling Trident is the weapon of the Dragon King. After the calamity tens of thousands of years ago, the dragon race completely vanished, and the East Sea Pearl disappeared without a trace.”
“This allowed the Sea Controlling Trident to fall into the hands of the Flood Dragon clan. Otherwise, with someone like Yang Qi, how would he have the right to use the Sea Controlling Trident?”
These words made Ye Yu frown slightly.
A calamity tens of thousands of years ago? The dragon race disappeared? What on earth was going on?
Ye Yu voiced his doubts.
Su Yao explained, “Long ago, there was indeed a dragon race in the East Sea. Not like the Flood Dragons or Earth Dragons, which are mere impostors. They were true dragons!”
“They were the true rulers of the depths of the sea. Including this East Sea treasure, it was originally a dragon palace, which is why there are so many precious things here.”
“However, they mysteriously vanished all at once tens of thousands of years ago. It is said to be due to a calamity. But what exactly happened, no one knows.”
“When I ascended to the Heavenly Realm, I specifically looked into this matter. However, it seems that everything related to the dragon race has been sealed off by some great powers, and I couldn’t find any useful information.”
Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.
A calamity, yet another calamity.
Back when he was in the Heavenly Realm, those ruins of immortal sects, and the turmoil spoken of by the immortals…Could it be related to the dragon race?
Just as Ye Yu was lost in thought, Su Yao’s eyes suddenly lit up.
She pointed at the second row of compartments on the wall and said, “Husband, look quickly! That should be the Water Essence. It looks like droplets of water, pure and transparent.”
Following the direction of Su Yao’s finger, Ye Yu looked over.
He saw a transparent bottle with several water droplets floating inside.
Ye Yu’s heart surged with joy.
Finally, they had found the most important item of this journey.
Without any hesitation, he immediately took the Water Essence into his hands.
He then called out to Su Yao and began to “sweep” through all the surrounding items.
Since they were here, they couldn’t leave empty-handed. They had to take everything with them.
Although the spiritual artifacts and techniques here weren’t the very best, it would still be a waste not to collect them.
Especially the spiritual stones; the more, the better. He could bring some back for Hongluan.
Perhaps this cheap master could even produce some good items again.
As Ye Yu and Su Yao were busy with their looting, outside, a massive flood dragon was approaching rapidly.
“Roar!”
A loud roar echoed through the seabed, intimidating all the sea demons within a hundred-mile radius, making them too scared to come near.
Yet, this nearly thousand-foot-long flood dragon, upon reaching this place, immediately lowered its proud head.
Not for any other reason, just to allow the two fairies atop its head to descend more conveniently.
That’s right, this peak stage Tribulation Realm flood dragon was merely a mount. The two fairies atop its head were the true masters.
They were stunningly beautiful.
If Ye Yu were here, he would certainly recognize them.
These two were the reincarnated immortal, Zuo Yingchun, and the white moonlight, the spiritual fruit girl, Ruan Lianyue.
No one would have expected that these two could appear together.
But the ties of fate in this world are often very mysterious.
Those who seem unlikely to cross paths…somehow end up together!
