Master of Strange Dao

Yu Ziqing didn't know whether this place was illusory or real.

If it was real, he had appeared here and witnessed the entire birth process of the True Dragon Bloodline, yet not a single person had paid any attention to him.

But if it was illusory, the sea demon beside him had discovered him right away after the True Dragon Bloodline had come into being.

As a human, showing up at such an occasion was indeed quite inappropriate.

If there were any disturbances, he would definitely be finished.

However, the sea demon at his side had been fooled by him, probably thinking that anyone who could appear here to witness the birth of the True Dragon Bloodline must be no ordinary person and, being human, might well have been invited by some big shot from the Dragon Clan.

No one else had any objections, and if he were to raise any, it would indeed seem like he was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

The potential spark that could have ignited a powder keg had been snuffed out by Yu Ziqing, and there were no more ripples afterward.

The sea demons, Dragon Clan, Demon Clan, and Sea Beasts that had come to witness the ceremony were of many different species; it was impossible for everyone to know each other.

Although Yu Ziqing, being human, was somewhat conspicuous, no one else questioned him further.

After all, those willing and daring to cause trouble at this place were in the minority.

The ceremony ended, and the crowd started to leave one after another; Yu Ziqing mixed with the crowd and quietly followed them out.

He wanted to understand exactly what this place was.

Whether this was an Illusion Realm created by magic or something else.

The only thing he was certain of was that what he had just seen was definitely not a scene that existed in the present; it must have been the spectacle from the birth of the Evil Dragon.

There had been no other dragon with the True Dragon Bloodline born in the last ten-thousand years; that Evil Dragon was the only one.

Following the crowd out, he saw that behind the mountains lay an endless sea, and what he was on was merely an island.

The members of the various species who had come to the ceremony either leapt into the sea to swim away or took to the skies and flew off, and soon there were hardly any left.

Waiting a little longer, the members of the Dragon Clan also flew off one by one, taking the juvenile dragon with them as they plunged into the sea and disappeared from sight.

A moment later, a Four-Armed Sea Demon with a serpent tail for its lower body, swaying its body, swam over to where Yu Ziqing was.

"You aren't leaving?"

The sea demon sized up Yu Ziqing, still curious.

This was the same sea demon that had previously asked Yu Ziqing how he had come here.

And now, the only sea demon that had bothered with him.

"I don't know where to go; it's better to explore around here than to wander aimlessly."

Yu Ziqing's response sounded partly like an answer and partly like he was talking to himself.

The sea demon had an odd expression on its face.

"You're really strange. Are you friends with those from the Dragon Clan? They actually invited a human to the ceremony."

"You're mistaken, I only look like a human," Yu Ziqing said with an unchanged expression, as the hungry ghost form flickered across his face and then vanished.

"Oh, I see, no wonder nobody else found it strange." The Four-Armed Sea Demon seemed to suddenly understand; it stretched out its four arms, examined itself, and said with a tinge of embarrassment, "I'm only Sixth Tier and not good at recognizing people, sorry about that before."

"No worries, aren't you going home?"

"Yes, of course..." the Four-Armed Sea Demon casually replied, but in its next breath, it suddenly faltered: "Go home... go home... where should I go home to? Eh? Where is my home?"

The Four-Armed Sea Demon stood there, befuddled, its expression changing and gradually becoming more contorted as aggressiveness emerged; it clasped all four hands around its head, screaming madly and relentlessly slamming itself into rocks by the sea.

"Where is my home? Where is it? Who am I, who am I..."

With each collision, the Four-Armed Sea Demon's head bled and caved in a bit, yet it still kept ramming against the rocks as if it had gone insane.

After shattering one rock, it moved to the next, charging and smashing its way along until at last, it slammed headfirst into an ironstone and its skull burst open, collapsing inward.

It lay there motionless, its eyes slowly dimming.

The next moment, a wisp of black Qi floated out from its body.

That wisp of black Qi circled around, noticed Yu Ziqing nearby, and instantly rushed towards him.

Yu Ziqing stood still, allowing the black Qi to enter his body.

The next moment, the Yin God with closed eyes held a strand of black Qi in his hand, which he treated like a snack, munching it down bit by bit with closed eyes.

The taste was mediocre, and so was the nourishment.

Yu Ziqing walked over to the Four-Armed Sea Demon's body, looked at the now lifeless corpse, and closed its staring eyes.

After a thought, he also collected the body.

He turned and walked towards the interior of the island, continuing to the place where he had witnessed the ceremony.

He trod through every corner, searching for any possible clues.

Everything here, every grass and rock, was incredibly real; Yu Ziqing could even absorb Gui Water Qi here for cultivation.

After covering the land, he came to the deepest pool in the center, took a leap, and dived in.

The water of the deep pool was like nothingness, slipping through with grace and full of vast vitality; Yu Ziqing took a sip and immediately felt a surge of life coursing through his body, healing even the smallest of injuries in an instant.

Yu Ziqing thought for a moment, then leapt back onto the shore, took out several large barrels, activated them, and watched as the water from the deep pool transformed into several water dragons, continuously flowing into the Magical Treasure.

These were also for backup, used to collect things; these barrels were most suitable for gathering water-related resources.
