Chapter 1138: The Four Seas Dragon Kings (Second update, requesting all)

Amidst a dizzying spin of the heavens and earth, Li Zhangsheng successfully returned to the Fairy World.

Li Zhangsheng merely notified Zuo Qiulin, delegated the matters, and prepared to continue on to the Dawn World for closed-door cultivation.

Compared to the Fairy World, the Dawn World was clearly much safer; furthermore, the "Zhou Tian Star Dou Imperial Demon Art" had reached a critical period.

Before heading to the Dawn World, Li Zhangsheng checked the requirements for upgrading the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform to the Eleven-Grade.

To achieve an Eleven-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, in addition to some new techniques and Seal Techniques, four types of materials were required: five portions of World Power, a Mid-grade Star Core, a Demon Emperor Level Star Beast Heart, and one portion of Star Dome Jade Liquid.

However, since the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform had already devoured a Demon Emperor Level Star Beast Heart, this material was no longer needed, which saved Li Zhangsheng the trouble of having to find another one.

Among the other three materials, the five portions of World Power could be ignored; he believed he would be able to gather them before long.

That left only two materials that were difficult to find, both of which were Mid-grade World Wonder treasures.

Only medium-to-large stars could form a Mid-grade Star Core after natural Annihilation, so the difficulty of obtaining one could be imagined.

The Star Dome Jade Liquid was also hard to get; it was rumored that this treasure could only condense after the star origin underwent certain changes. Even the Hundred Victories King had only heard of it and had never actually seen such a treasure.

However, from the vast ocean of the Hundred Victories King's memories, Li Zhangsheng found a clue.

Over a hundred years ago, when the Hundred Victories King and Dou Cangqiong were chatting about secrets of the world, Dou Cangqiong mentioned that Star Dome Jade Liquid had once appeared in the Bi Hai Swamp, and was eventually seized by the Forgotten Strait lord, the Four-Clawed Black Dragon Ao Qin.

The Four-Clawed Black Dragon belonged to the Divine Beast category and could reach the Demon Saint level upon reaching adulthood.

Over a hundred years ago, the Four-Clawed Black Dragon Ao Qin was still at the Demon Saint level; he did not know what realm it was in now, but barring any accidents, there was a high probability it was still at the Demon Saint level.

There was also a difficulty here: after so many years, was the Star Dome Jade Liquid still in Ao Qin's possession?

If it were in human hands, there was a high probability it would have been traded away for treasures useful to the owner. But the Dragon Clan was different; they loved collecting treasures and would rather not use them than spend them.

Judging by the nature of the Dragon Clan, after so many years, the Star Dome Jade Liquid was very likely still in Ao Qin's possession.

If Ao Qin was still at the Demon Saint level, Li Zhangsheng naturally had the confidence to deal with it, but the difficulty lay in the fact that it spent its time in the water and likely had a powerful backer behind it.

Among the Divine Beasts of all races, the Dragon Clan was the most numerous. Not only were there many varieties, but crucially, they were also prone to Lust; therefore, even though the birth rate of Divine Beasts was very low, the number of dragons had never decreased and instead showed a trend of increasing.

In the Fairy World, the continental plates accounted for about 3/5 of the area, and the rest was ocean.

Among them, nearly half of the ocean was occupied by the Dragon Clan, especially the coastal regions, such as the Donghai, South Sea, West Sea, and North Sea.

The commanders of the Four Seas Dragon Clan were also known as Dragon Kings; they were almost all Five-Clawed Golden Dragons or Ancestral Dragon Nine Sons, and they possessed at least Demon Emperor level strength, with even Demon Emperor Rank being possible.

The Forgotten Strait was located in the North Sea, and Ao Qin's backer was very likely the North Sea Dragon King.

This made things difficult; Li Zhangsheng feared that beating the small one would bring out the old one, and if he beat the old one, perhaps the entire Dragon Clan would come knocking.

Therefore, he had to plan carefully.

After all matters were concluded, Li Zhangsheng used the Plane Teleportation Array to arrive once again at the Dawn World—Underdark—capital of the Yasi City-State.

Li Zhangsheng sensed the flow of time and discovered that the time flow between the two worlds was not much different, almost negligible.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng received Ge Liedi to ask

if he had found the whereabouts of Dafi Livingston.

"From the clues gathered, Livingston has likely not yet left the capital of the Laina City-State, but your subordinate does not know his specific location."

Ge Liedi remained humble; during this time, he had done his best, both investigating news of Livingston and stabilizing the situation in the Yasi City-State.

"Very good, continue to follow up on this matter. By the way, what major events have happened in the Underdark recently?"

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng learned from Ge Liedi about the major events that had occurred in the Underdark during this period.

Generally speaking, it was mostly the various city-states and nations attacking each other; there was only one thing that could catch Li Zhangsheng's interest, which was that a Divine Artifact had appeared in the Underdark.

The emergence of a Divine Artifact naturally caused a bloodbath; countless Stronger fought until they were brain-dead to compete for it, and it was eventually seized by a Legendary Powerhouse named Charles Stanton.

Charles Stanton could be said to be one of the strongest Legendary Powerhouse in the Underdark, with strength far exceeding Huensi, who had died at Li Zhangsheng's hands.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, Charles Stanton likely possessed Demon Emperor level Demon Pet standards.

After seizing the Divine Artifact, Charles Stanton naturally went into hiding, and no one knew where he was hiding.

At this moment, Ge Liedi seemed to recall something and said with his head lowered: "By the way, there is also a Legendary Powerhouse who recently wants to defect to us. Because the matter is of great importance, your subordinate cannot make a decision!"

"Have you investigated his background?"

"I have conducted a preliminary investigation." Ge Liedi paused and said: "He is called Jordan Sickma, his strength is about the same as your subordinate's, he is skilled with dual swords, and in his early years, he was a Legendary Powerhouse of the Nike City-State. Ever since the Nike City-State was destroyed, he has been wandering around the Underdark."

"Then summon him over to meet with this seat!"

Since a Legendary Powerhouse was taking the initiative to defect, Li Zhangsheng naturally could not let it pass in vain; with the scale of the Yasi City-State, supporting a few Legendary Powerhouse was not a problem at all.

"Your subordinate will go do it right away!"

After speaking, Ge Liedi went to find Jordan Sickma, whom he had arranged to stay near the Imperial Palace.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng met Jordan Sickma.

From the moment Xikema entered, Li Zhangsheng focused his attention on him.

This was a male middle-aged Drow Elf with an unremarkable appearance, which was quite an anomaly among the Drow Elf race that produced handsome men and beautiful women; if not for the pointed ears and grayish-black skin and other characteristics, it would truly be hard for people to believe.

Xikema had two short swords hanging at his waist and a short bow covered in green patterns on his back; his aura was relatively calm, yet it gave people a sense of grandeur.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng was a bit surprised to find that whether it was the two short swords or the short bow, they were all Legendary Weapon, especially that short bow, which was a boutique among Legendary Weapon.

The problem was, how could a Legendary Powerhouse who possessed three Legendary Weapon have strength comparable to Ge Liedi?
