Chapter 351: The Soul of the Ocean Whale and the Ray Saint's Promise
Chapter 351: The Soul of the Ocean Whale and the Ray Saint's Promise
In the Imperial Capital, within the Dragon City.
Once again, it was that peculiar world, straddling the boundary between reality and illusion.
However, this time, the towering figure standing there did not appear atop the tall tower that connected to the real world.
Instead, it slowly strolled and arrived at a special place.
The sound of surging water seemed to come from all directions.
The figure slowly walked into it, sinking beneath the water's surface, and soon, it entered a unique world.
The gurgling of the water was incessant, but the figure paid it no heed and directly sat on one of the side-by-side thrones in the underwater palace.
The next moment, another illusory figure appeared, assuming an extremely peculiar posture, coiling up on another throne.
It was as if the figure, radiating a faint blue light, had merged with the underwater world, and the purest water element had gathered on its body.
A voice spoke from within the figure:
"Why has the Holy Dragon come to the Dragon Palace?"
The voice hummed, carrying an indescribable peculiar feeling.
The words spoken were in the most ancient and direct language, the serpent script.
The man's hand stretched out, revealing something.
It was a turquoise pearl.
The pearl itself didn't seem to be anything too precious or magical.
However, within the pearl, there seemed to be a trace of an extremely special soul fluctuation.
"This is..."
The illusory figure, merged with the water element, also paused slightly upon seeing this object, seemingly a bit puzzled.
The man then spoke:
"The Water Sovereign has been here."
As his words fell, an illusory figure condensed at the bottom of the water.
It was none other than the mermaid-like figure of the Naga.
Even though the man's words were spoken in the language of the Dragon Kingdom, the effect of his words manifesting reality was still incomprehensible.
"Oh? Is this the gift that the water element legend spoke of?"
The Water Dragon's illusory figure took an interested glance at the pearl in its hand and then continued in serpent script:
"It doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary. But indeed, it's not a big deal. After all these years in the Endless Sea, except for the Serpent Kingdom, the other kingdoms have indeed grown closer to the Snake Kingdom.
Now, with the arrival of such an ancient legend, it will indeed help the situation in the Endless Sea. The Holy Dragon didn't stop its resurrection ceremony, and I believe this is why."
The man didn't answer the Water Dragon's power, the gift from the Endless Sea."
The Water Dragon's illusory figure glanced at it once more.
Soul Orb, an Emperor-class resource, capable of containing souls.
Soul Guide Wick, a Holy-class resource, needless to say, capable of preserving the vitality and wisdom of souls.
Su Ping had used it before when cultivating an external incarnation.
However, it was evident that these two items in the man's hand were not for their resource value.
The Water Dragon's illusory figure seemed to understand the man's intention. It extended its dragon claw and held the Soul Orb in its palm, sensing it for a moment before its deep blue pupils widened slightly:
"The soul of an Ocean Whale that was only a Monarch-class in life? Such a grand gesture for just this? Ocean Whales are indeed rare companion beasts, and their adult forms possess Emperor-class racial potential, but it's not to this extent, is it?
Moreover, if this were a normal situation, it should be sent to the burial grounds, where it would be of more interest."
The man blinked and then spoke concisely:
"This is the soul of Nie Chuan's Ocean Whale companion beast..."
"Hmm?"
The Water Dragon paused for a second, seemingly realizing who the man was referring to in that moment.
Then, silence.
After a while, the Water Dragon continued:
"The Water Sovereign is indeed thoughtful. I didn't expect that those fish offspring influenced by the Sea God's will would also have some use. This is indeed a grand gift.
The man shook his head:
"The Water Sovereign also has conditions. It wants to search for traces of the Flame Sovereign in the Dragon Kingdom and promises not to harm ordinary citizens. I had it swear an oath to agree to this condition."
"I see... But even if..."
"Rest assured, it has only sent a special incarnation, and although that incarnation has unique abilities, it cannot escape my restrictions.
Upon hearing the man's words, the Water Dragon Phantom finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since the Holy Dragon is confident, I won't say more. Nie Chuan was once a Beastmaster of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, and now he has returned to his rightful owner. Back then, Nie Chuan's primary research was to cultivate the skill of 'Sea of All Tributaries' to the level of a Water Dragon. Unfortunately, he passed away before completing his mission."
"Now, with Zhu Hong's assistance and the memories of the Ocean Whale, it might be possible to complete the unfinished task he left behind."
"Alright, I'll take my leave first."
The man didn't waste any more words. With a slight movement, he disappeared without a trace, leaving the special underwater Dragon Palace within the Dragon City.
Only a faint Water Dragon Phantom remained, still coiled within the palace. It gazed at the Soul Orb in its claws, deep in thought.
After a long while, a faint smile appeared, and it whispered to itself:
"In all these years in the Four Seas Dragon Palace, Meng Yao is the only human Beastmaster who has advanced to the Holy Spirit rank. It's time for a resurgence; otherwise, those in Dragon City will forget that the Four Seas Dragon Palace has produced exceptional talents."
However, just at that moment, a strange glow flashed across the Water Dragon's cheek and eyes.
The next moment, within the Dragon Palace, a virtual screen made of water appeared before it: At the same time, a voice came from within the special screen:
"Sea Lord!"
"Hmm? Is it little Meng Yao? Aren't you in Jianghai? Did you return to Dragon City? Haha, you're lucky. I have some good news to share with you."
This time, the Water Dragon Phantom didn't use the Snake Script to communicate but spoke in the language of the Dragon Kingdom.
It was unavoidable; when facing that person, using the Dragon Kingdom's language could easily be influenced by their words, becoming the 'obedient' one without even realizing it.
Now, facing Meng Yao in the Four Seas Dragon Palace, there was no need to worry about that.
"I also have some good news to share with you!"
The Ray Saint on the other side of the screen sounded equally excited, causing the Water Dragon Phantom to pause slightly:
"Oh? What news?"
"The evolution of the Rainbow Dragon has made new breakthroughs and progress!"
Meng Yao's words surprised the Sea Dragon King once again: "Rainbow Dragon?"
What progress could this thing possibly have made outside?
The Rainbow Coral Worm, the existence of the Rainbow Dragon, how could he not know about it?
After all, during the initial Dragon Gate inspection, it was discovered that the Rainbow Coral Worm possessed Dragon genes and could evolve into a dragon. Moreover, it was a rare Water and Light attribute creature, a discovery that had startled him.
He had even personally participated in many of the previous research and evolution attempts.
Unfortunately, the final results were somewhat disappointing.
After expending tremendous resources, they had gathered over a dozen Rainbow Coral Worms, yet not a single one showed any signs of dragon evolution.
And now, this Meng Yao kid was telling him that there had been no breakthroughs in evolution research in Dragon City, but progress had been made outside?
Wasn't this just nonsense?
"What nonsense are you spouting? There are hardly any of these creatures outside, let alone evolving them, and you're talking about dragon evolution? If it were that easy, the Breeder Association would have figured it out long ago."
The Water Dragon Phantom spoke with exasperation.
"It's true, and this person possesses the Dragon Emblem, which will allow them to enter Dragon City in the future to select Dragon Companions and their corresponding Dragon Heritage! Sea Lord, this is a talent we must not overlook!"
The Ray Saint's words finally made the Sea Dragon King realize what was happening.
This playful kid, always up to no good, seemed to be telling the truth this time. For a moment, he didn't rush to ask about the soul of the Ocean Whale but instead inquired:
"What's going on?"
"Do you remember Su Ping? He raised a Rainbow Coral Worm at home. Later, I gave him the Dragon Palace's breeding technique, and I never expected that in just over half a month,
this guy would create a brand new evolution for the Rainbow Coral Worm. Moreover, I have a feeling that this evolved Rainbow Coral Worm is more likely to successfully evolve into a Rainbow Dragon than the previous evolved forms created in Dragon City!"
The Ray Saint's voice quickly transmitted.
"Su Ping..."
The Sea Dragon King thought for a moment, then said:
"The previous one, Zhu Hong, claimed to be the youngest holder of the Dragon Emblem?"
The old ghost from the burial ground had previously boasted about a certain kid he had in mind, right?"
"Yes! That's him! Su Ping not only has exceptional talent in ordinary companion beast breeding, but he's also quite capable in dragon companion research and development!"
The Ray Saint hurriedly spoke.
The Sea Dragon King's eyebrows furrowed:
"That little guy doesn't even know himself, but in fact, many in Dragon City are keeping an eye on him. And didn't you say that he's quite interested in the Emerald Dreamland?
You should know, the owner of the Dragon Emblem entering Dragon City is different from Beastmasters who directly receive dragon companions as rewards for various achievements in the Dragon Kingdom. In this regard, we can't force the issue either.
By the way, how did this little guy manage to evolve into such a unique companion beast?"
He didn't pursue the matter of the Ray Saint casually handing over the Four Seas Dragon Palace's companion beast breeding to someone else.
Meng Yao was a man of foresight, and the evolution and breeding of the Rainbow Dragon was indeed a project that the Four Seas Dragon Palace had almost completely abandoned, and it wasn't that important in the first place.
Precisely because of this, Su Ping's ability to create a brand new evolution using these resources piqued the interest of the Sea Dragon King.
After that, he told the Sea Dragon King about the Rainbow Crystal Butterfly that Su Ping had evolved before, as well as the theory he had mentioned earlier about the failed evolution of the Rainbow Coral Worm in Dragon City.
As expected, upon hearing these words, the Dragon King of the Four Seas Dragon Palace also felt a bit lost.
However, it must be said that if the Rainbow Dragon's evolution succeeds, it will represent the emergence of a brand new special dragon breed in the Four Seas Dragon Palace's heritage!
The significance of this is undoubtedly immense.
Then, the Sea Dragon King, from the Four Seas Dragon Palace in Dragon City, suddenly became excited:
"Good! Meng Yao, this task is yours! No matter what, a suitable candidate for our Four Seas Dragon Palace's companion beast breeder can't be allowed to slip away. What do you say?"
"Yes!"
The Ray Saint put down the special item in his hand and exhaled a long breath.
After that, he had a thought, and summoned his own Water Dragon, 'Shang Shan':
"Ah Shan, Su Ping is quite interested in you. You're the most handsome Water Dragon in our Four Seas Dragon Palace. During these days, you can spend some time outside, playing in the water, and also protecting his safety. Maybe because of this, this kid will also want a Water Dragon, right? Did you hear me?"
"Roar!" Water Dragon Shang Shan glared, it was the future Dragon King! The future pillar of the Four Seas Dragon Palace!
This was sacrificing its own dignity!
Even if it was its master's command, it resolutely disagreed!
But clearly, the Ray Saint had already anticipated the stubbornness of his Water Dragon,
So, he paused and continued:
"This task, the Sea Lord just instructed!"
Water Dragon Shang Shan didn't care at all, the Sea Lord? The Sea Lord! Even if the legendary Holy Dragon came, wanting it to sacrifice its dignity to please a mere human was impossible!
No way! But the next moment, the Ray Saint continued:
"Ah Shan, the Sea Lord is the blood relative and soul father of our Four Seas Dragon Palace's Ice Dragon King."
Water Dragon Shang Shan was taken aback: "Roar?"
Ice Dragon King? Which Ice Dragon King? "Our Four Seas Dragon Palace has another Ice Dragon King? Moreover, in the entire Dragon City, when the name Ice Dragon King is mentioned, isn't our Dragon Palace's most famous one?"
Although this reputation wasn't that good to begin with.
The Ray Saint smiled.
In an instant, the Water Dragon Shang Shan, who had visibly struggled for its integrity, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if it had thought of something. Its deep blue eyes widened.
Ten minutes later, the Water Dragon Shang Shan, seemingly drained of all its energy, followed the Ray Saint and returned to Su Ping's side, who was squatting next to the Water Core.
Su Ping glanced at the two of them: "Have you finished your business?"
The Ray Saint nodded:
"That's right, the Dragon King is delighted by your research on the Rainbow Dragon. To express his gratitude, Su Ping, do you want me to help modify your Water Core? At the same time, you can further research and it might assist in the next stage of your Rainbow Dragon's breeding and evolution."
As he said this, he patted the Water Dragon Shang Shan beside him, and the latter hurriedly let out a loud roar, indicating its agreement.
Upon hearing this, Su Ping's eyes lit up.
