Chapter 365: with translation of chapter title

The East Sea Dragon King's reception was very enthusiastic and also very generous.

When Mu Yi was leaving, six reserve Dragon Kings had each brought their own retinue and the aquatic Formation allocated by the East Sea Dragon King, waiting there.

Ha! Mu Yi glanced and saw that altogether there were about 100,000+ aquatic beings; in the sea that's not many, but gathered together it's still quite impressive.

"That Dragon King, this humble deity will take my leave first!" Mu Yi bowed to the East Sea Dragon King, about to depart.

The East Sea Dragon King suddenly blocked Mu Yi, set up a barrier, and quietly said to him.

Heavenly Sovereign, you must be very careful lately; this old dragon just got news that the Shu Mountain patriarch Taiwei Daoist you previously reported in the lower realm was not beheaded, so he will likely cause you trouble in the future!

Mu Yi heard this, froze a moment, furrowed his brows and asked the East Sea Dragon King.

"Could you please elaborate, Dragon King? Heavenly law is so strict—how exactly did Taiwei escape the deadly calamity?" Mu Yi could not figure it out.

"Do you know Taiwei's origins?" the East Sea Dragon King hesitated, then decided to tell Mu Yi.

"He is a disciple of the Grand Master of Lingbao of the Jade Void Palace!"

"Jade Void Palace, Grand Master of Lingbao?" Upon hearing this, Mu Yi quickly searched his mind for information about the Grand Master of Lingbao.

"The method of using the Demon-Locking Tower to sacrifice and refine the Demon-Subduing Sword is the same as the method the Grand Master of Lingbao used years ago to forge the Demon-Subduing Sword."

"The Grand Master of Lingbao saved Taiwei Daoist with merit, but though the death penalty was waived, he could not escape a living punishment; the Heavenly Court confiscated Taiwei's Demon-Subduing Sword, stripped him of his divine position, and struck him three times with the God-Smiting Whip; if not for the Grand Master of Lingbao rescuing him with a Golden Core, his soul and spirit would have nearly scattered."

"Thus Taiwei also severed his karmic ties with the Jade Void Palace, becoming a discarded disciple of the Jade Void Palace; he has major karmic ties with you, which may prove unfavorable for you!"

"Moreover, the Jade Void Palace's conduct is well known; I fear its disciples will also cause you trouble in the future."

The East Sea Dragon King laid out everything fully; Mu Yi understood the cause and effect, and also felt it was rather thorny.

"Having lost his lineage, magic treasures, master, and divine position, this Taiwei Daoist is utterly a mortal enemy of mine; as the Dragon King said, he may come to kill me one day."

Given his current strength, opposing this Taiwei is utterly impossible.

"Moreover, I heard that Taiwei's last appearance was at the foot of Spirit Mountain; he likely went to join the Buddhist Sect."

Having said that, the East Sea Dragon King said no more.

Mu Yi also understood completely; he solemnly bowed to the East Sea Dragon King and led all his subordinates back home.

After Mu Yi left, the East Sea Dragon Queen came out, somewhat puzzled.

"Your Majesty, is Mu Yi truly worth such an investment? Speaking of the Jade Void matter, it might provoke the Jade Void Palace, and you know full well the temperament of those people."

"Hmph, Jade Void Palace—our Four Seas Dragon Clan has always been on bad terms with them; this favor is naturally best sold to this Heavenly Sovereign!" The East Sea Dragon King's expression turned icy.

"Nowadays, Nezha the Third Prince is a renowned war god of the Heavenly Court, but the cultivation path of his third prince, Ao Bing of the East Sea Dragon Palace, has been cut off; to this day he is only at half-divine level, which was once the son he most hoped for."

As a result, he was forcibly had his dragon tendons extracted, turning him into a cripple.

"Although Nezha committed suicide to settle the karmic debt, the hatred has never been resolved."

The East Sea Dragon King and the Jade Void Palace naturally have no affection between them.

"My ill-fated son Bing!" Upon mentioning Ao Bing, the East Sea Dragon Queen couldn't help but tear up.

"Alas!" The East Sea Dragon King's posture involuntarily slumped; though he is the chief of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, how could he compare to the Jade Void Palace?

……

"You go to the Pacific, you go to the Atlantic, you go to the Indian Ocean, you go to the Arctic Ocean; you oversee the Yangtze, you oversee the Yellow River. I don't care about the expansion of water systems, but organizing the waterways of all regions, ensuring favorable winds and rains, letting the people live in peace and prosperity is your duty; I will also send people to inspect, hoping you do not bring harm upon yourselves!"

Mu Yi simply divided the domains among a few dragons, then let them expand their own jurisdictions; after all, the more capable should take on more work, so able Dragon Kings naturally ought to manage larger sea areas.

"In humble obedience to the Heavenly Sovereign's command!"

Watching the Dragon Kings disperse, Mu Yi brought the remaining aquatic beings back to his residence.

"Who is in charge?" Mu Yi looked around; from among the aquatic maidens stepped out one who appeared more mature, and he gave her a respectful bow.

"Reporting to Heavenly Sovereign, I am Hongyu! Previously I was in charge of managing them!"

"You continue to manage them; the other two residing in the manor are my friends—you must also obey their words; if you need anything, go find Aili, she will help you resolve it!"

Mu Yi gave a brief instruction, then had the maidens familiarize themselves with the manor.

He himself then brought the spiritual food gifted by the Dragon King before Lily and her servant.

"A specialty of the Dragon Palace—try it!"

"Dragon Palace? Yi, you brought back those monsters—can I study them?" Lily ate a crystal-clear fruit, her eyes lighting up at once, and she asked eagerly.

"Those are maidservants sent by the Dragon King; don't go too far with them. Speaking of which, this is a friend's notes on alchemy that he gave me—perhaps it could help your metallurgy research!" Mu Yi said, handing over the handwritten copy that Ming Yue gave him to Lily.

Before presenting it to the Hundred Schools Academy, we can let Lily also review it a bit.

"Alchemy!" Lily received the handwritten copy, quickly duplicated it with copying magic, and eagerly began to flip through it.

"What a brilliant conception!"

Lily had only looked at two pages when she completely stopped eating, biting her finger as she began to ponder metallurgical problems; the saying "stones from other hills can polish jade" applied—using Ming Yue's perspective to analyze materials from two different civilizations gave her great inspiration.

"I'll go test it!" In the blink of an eye, Lily used spatial teleportation to rush back to her alchemy laboratory.

"Can I take charge of those maidservants?" Aili blinked, pointing at a passing maid and asked.

"Of course!" Mu Yi nodded; Aili obviously still liked being the head maid, and this request he could satisfy.

Having received the affirmative consent, Aili directly gathered all the aquatic maidens, intending to train them into a maid corps according to her own ideas.

Mu Yi shrugged, packed the spiritual food on the table, and sent it to his few friends on the Zongwang network.

Looking at the slowly filling backpack of spiritual food, Mu Yi couldn't help but sigh again.

The East Sea Dragon King truly is a generous and wealthy immortal.

His generosity leaves people stunned.

"Zongwang Prompt: You have new friend information, please check it!"

"Friend-La Ge Na: Yi, I've joined the Dragon Slayer Brotherhood; we plan to go to a Dragon Country to carry out an activity—are you interested in joining?"

Mu Yi blinked; just having left the East Sea Dragon Palace, he now had to go to the Dragon Country—he and dragons really share quite a fate.

"However, the Dragon Slayer Brotherhood going to the Dragon Country to hold an event—could it be anything other than paying a visit?"

"After thinking, Mu Yi sent a message to La Ge Na and still decided to join in."

He still has a Dragon Slayer epic background specialty not fully unlocked; this trip might be a good opportunity?

La Ge Na's invitation came quickly.

Dragon Nation Dragon Slayer Challenge

Campaign Description:

The connection between planes is sometimes more subtle than the state between opposite sexes. And in the vast expanse of the multiverse, things that transcend ordinary rules always appear.

Innately powerful dragons have always been top-of-the-food-chain creatures.

However, a group of Dragon Slayer enthusiasts formed an organization called the Dragon Slayer Brotherhood and began hunting dragons.

They have just held a Dragon Slayer Challenge and are now inviting all beings related to dragon slaying to participate in this challenge.

The victor will receive the corpse of a red dragon queen (challenge rating 30) prepared by the Dragon Slayer Brotherhood.

ps: Participating in this event, you will earn the mutual enmity of the Five-Colored Dragon and the Metal Dragon.

ps: Warning, this campaign contains many Legendary creatures that will wander randomly.

Dragon Nation

Mu Yi arrived at the place where the summoning order was issued and saw many Dragon Slayers.

Almost everyone exuded the aura of a Dragon Slayer.

Once everyone had gathered per the summoning order, the challenge soon began.

"Gentlemen, go slay dragons, let's see who's faster!" a member of the Dragon Slayer Brotherhood roared, pulling back the curtain.

The Dragon Nation itself is a vast expanse resembling a sub-plane.

Faced with the immense Dragon Nation and unknown numbers of dragons, many Dragon Slayers chose to operate in sections.

This is mainly because although the Dragon Nation is the dragons' realm, the actual number of dragons does not exceed two or three hundred, some of which are juveniles.

At least five hundred Dragon Slayers have come here; even if they act in squads, dragons have become a sought-after prey.

They are confident they can slay dragons before anyone else.

And just as everyone set out, after exploring some areas, the Dragon Slayer demonstrator who had once watched Mu Yi's battle furtively found the temporary captain of his sector—the initiator of the summoning order, the Dragon Slayer Mage—who narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Hey, buddy, why didn't you tell me you invited such a dangerous guy!"

"His absurd strength will snatch all the dragons away!"

"It's La Ge Na's invitation; I didn't expect him to come either!"

The Dragon Slayer Mage also felt somewhat surprised, saying frankly that everyone is Legendary, but he does not absolutely consider Mu Yi, that kind of monster, to be on the same level as him.

If Mu Yi were a dragon, perhaps he would still have a two-in-ten chance of winning.

"With him, we can take it a bit easier this time; this Dragon Nation is a bit strange, the number of adult dragons that have contracts with humans seems unusually high—be careful, don't lose your life in a place like this!"

"Don't worry!" the Dragon Slayer Warrior waved his hand and leapt away from the gathering point; he is the type capable of slaying a dragon alone.

The Dragon Slayer Mage closed his eyes, began to concentrate on supervising the entire Dragon Nation; if anyone fell into mortal danger, he would use his authority as organizer to kick them out, thus adding a safeguard to the event.

However, when he shifted his focus onto Mu Yi, he inevitably fell into silence.

Although he had thought Mu Yi would be absurd, he did not expect Mu Yi to be this absurd.

"Whoa!!"

This is a strong red dragon; its breath can inflict sufficient lethal damage.

For an ordinary Transcendent adventurer, it is a sufficiently terrifying top predator.

Its claws can easily tear apart ordinary armor.

Ordinary swords and arrows struggle to penetrate its mature scale armor.

And its massive size, measured in tons, is enough to cause extremely terrifying impact attacks.

Yet facing Mu Yi, this monster in human skin, it is merely prey.

Aside from its danger, the dragon is also a good source of high-grade magical ingredients.

"Thud!!"

With a dull thud, the dragon crashed heavily onto the ground!

Owing to the dragon's strong vitality, it still retained a last vestige of strength.

But before it could emit its final roar, darkness devoured everything.

That was the process of the Reincarnation Barrier devouring its soul.

This red dragon bears much karmic sin; Mu Yi bypassed judgment and shoved it into the Animal Realm.

The dragon's blood, brimming with restless energy, splattered abundantly onto the ground, then produced a violent magical reaction!

Mu Yi also gathered this dragon blood with a killing wind; these are excellent magical materials.

Dragon blood and the blood of ordinary beasts are two entirely different kinds of existence.

It is not a pure material condensation, but a product of energy and matter mixed together.

Simply put, this stuff doesn't taste great to eat, but as a magical material it is excellent; Ming Yue mentioned its effects are very versatile.

Therefore, for Mu Yi, his main goal remains the collection of materials.

Along with Mu Yi's dissection, in the end only some rotten meat wrapped around corrosive viscera and some undigested remnants remained.

Aside from the dragon heart, Mu Yi did not collect the other organs extensively; he simply threw them into the Hell Path to be burned.

After all, he has little need for them.

Dragon Scale is a decent material for magic armor, and dragon teeth can also be used to make magic weapons.

However, for Mu Yi, these are all too troublesome.

Fortunately, he has friends who can handle these things; otherwise, he would probably only be able to waste them crudely.

"Watch out, the dragon swarm is coming, beware of the dragon swarm!"

A Dragon Slayer let out a warning.

Mu Yi raised his head and looked at several huge figures looming over the cloud peak.

And in the more distant mountains, a long dragon roar could faintly be heard.

Their intrusion had obviously enraged these dragons, and the dragons began to gather companions, intending to wage war.

In fact, the Dragon Kingdom is not as people imagine; it is a world piled with shining jewels and gold.

At least Mu Yi hasn't seen these things; this place seems merely a transit station, a gathering spot for the dragons.

Aside from the dragons, here there are only sub-dragons and the vicious curses and traps placed by the dragons.
