Chapter 779: Reunion with Tao Qian and Senior Jun Shiyi
Chapter 779: Reunion with Tao Qian and Senior Jun Shiyi
Thousand Cups Not Drunk pondered for a moment. If they hadn't lingered by the treasure chest, chatting, they might not have heard the "click" of the hidden compartment opening. Fate truly played a role in this!
Thousand Cups Not Drunk asked, "Should we check out the secret realms you've visited before? There might be hidden compartments in those treasure chests as well."
"It's possible, but..." Little Tian opened his phone and projected a 3D map of the Wild Desolate Continent, pointing to it and said, "The two secret realms I visited last time are on the western side of the continent, while we're heading east this time. It's a very long distance. I think it's better to continue exploring other secret realms to the east. This will save us time and allow us to claim the rewards from the treasure chests."
"Alright, you have good luck, so I'll follow your lead. I'm the unlucky one, so I won't have any opinions," Thousand Cups Not Drunk nodded.
Thousand Cups Not Drunk was notoriously unlucky. Last time, he was directly teleported into the enemy's main camp.
So, he decided to follow Little Tian's lead, as good luck was essential for success.
...
...
The scene shifts back to Zhong Feng.
On the third evening, he arrived at the northern border of the Blazing Sun Empire and took a boat to the Wild Desolate Continent.
By noon on the fourth day, he flew to a nearly lifeless desert in the southern part of the Wild Desolate Continent.
Most of the Wild Desolate Continent was covered in dense primeval forests, with towering trees hundreds of meters tall deep within (top-tier plant-type magical beasts).
However, the Wild Desolate Continent was vast, roughly one-fifth the surface area of Blue Star, and it contained various terrains, including mountains, deserts, and swamps.
Zhong Feng, transformed into an eagle, flew over the desert. Below him, there were only a few cacti and giant sandworms buried beneath the sand.
After flying for over an hour, he landed on the peak of a mountain that pierced the clouds.
This mountain was extremely high, with its peak covered in snow.
"This is it, the Desert Jewel Peak."
After confirming his location, Zhong Feng took out a horn made an ivory body, adorned with rubies and gold, from his spatial ring.
Toot~
Zhong Feng blew the horn.
Enhanced by magic, the sound of the horn traveled far and wide.
...
This horn was given to him by Senior Jun Shiyi the last time they met on Dragon Island. The mountain he stood on was the agreed meeting point with two seniors.
Senior Jun Shiyi and Tao Qian had left Dragon Island a month ago to explore and strengthen themselves in the Wild Desolate Continent.
However, considering that Zhong Feng or other Blue Star cultivators might run into trouble and need their help, Senior Jun Shiyi left this means of contact.
Anyone standing on this "Desert Jewel Peak" and blowing this special horn would immediately summon the two seniors.
...
The horn's sound reverberated through the vast desert, traveling far and wide.
After blowing for a while, Zhong Feng stopped and looked around, but saw no signs of movement.
He didn't lose heart and blew the horn again.
Finally, after about 20 minutes, he saw two majestic dragons, one black and one white, appearing in the eastern sky. They were none other than Senior Jun Shiyi and Tao Qian!
Zhong Feng was overjoyed and immediately transformed into an eagle, flying to greet them.
A few minutes later, they met in the sky.
...
"Seniors, it's great to see you! I didn't expect you to come so quickly!" Zhong Feng said happily upon meeting them.
Elder Jun Shiyi smiled and replied, "Of course! We saw the United Government’s warrant for the Blue Star cultivators and knew you’d be coming soon, so we’ve been lingering nearby, not daring to go too far. When we heard your horn, we immediately rushed back!"
From Zhongfeng’s perspective, the two elders seemed to have grown larger and more robust, their scales gleaming under the sun, clearly indicating significant progress in their strength over the past month.
The two elders were quite elated, but there was also a hint of worry, especially for Elder Tao Qian.
As soon as they met, Tao Qian flapped his wings urgently and said, "Zhongfeng, do you know? Your contact with the White Dragon has been exposed! Emperor Sunny personally named Princess Coco, and now the internet is abuzz with the news. You probably can’t go to Dragon Island to trade with the dragons anymore."
"Don’t worry, old friend," Elder Jun Shiyi nudged Tao Qian with his wing. "Zhongfeng has been on Skrew for three days; he must already know about this."
"That’s true," Tao Qian nodded and then looked at Zhongfeng.
Zhongfeng immediately smiled and replied, "Elders, I already know about this. When I arrived on Skrew, I learned this news from Elder Zhu Yuanzhang."
"See, I told you he knew... Wait! You met Zhu Daoyou? He’s still alive? Where is he now?" Elder Jun Shiyi was startled and immediately asked.
Tao Qian was also stunned, his disbelief evident on his face.
Zhu Daoyou was a crucial figure among the ancient cultivators. When the likes of Elder Yang Jian, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang emerged from seclusion, Zhu Daoyou’s contributions were at least half the reason.
Elder Jun Shiyi had a deep interest in this Zhu Daoyou.
Since 907 AD, when the Blue star entered the End Law Era, only two ancient cultivators had survived to the present: Zhu Daoyou and himself. It was quite natural for them to be more attentive to each other.
"Yes, I know where Elder Zhu is," Zhongfeng answered without hesitation. "Elder Zhu is currently in the Makaton Kingdom, where he’s the new king—King Makaton III. You’ve probably seen him on the internet recently."
Zhongfeng didn’t hide anything from the two elders, given their trustworthy behavior on the Blue star. After all, it was rare for cultivators to prove their innocence by risking their own lives.
...
The two elders were truly surprised, their dragon eyes wide open and mouths agape.
It turned out that the frequently seen anti-Alliance King Makaton III was actually one of them! How did Zhu Daoyou manage this? How did he climb to such a high position?
They stared at Zhongfeng, waiting for his explanation.
Faced with their surprised and curious expressions, Zhongfeng also wanted to explain everything to them.
But he knew time was short, and he couldn’t afford to waste it here.
So he said, "Elders, let’s hit the road first. We can talk while we travel."
"Alright, where are we going?"
"Dragon Island."
"Hmm? Didn’t I tell you that Princess Coco’s contact with you has been exposed?"
"I know, but we’ll explain the details on the way."
"Alright. Let’s go?"
"Let’s go!"
One eagle and two dragons formed a V-shape, flying toward Dragon Island.
