Shennong Dao Master

"Unseal!"

Zhao Xing unsealed the Dragon Ship and then employed the Wind Skill to sweep out all the treasures.

Hearing the commotion, Cao Qianyue immediately came over.

Seeing the mountain of treasures falling from the sky, he couldn't help but be dazed.

"Marquis, have you plundered another Treasure Vault?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "Time is tight, and the task is heavy. You must classify these items quickly."

"No need to calculate their value, and you don't have to be too careful with those you can't solve; either break them open with force or leave them be."

If the tribute doesn't know the value, Dragon King Yin Xiu will also discern it.

"Yes." Cao Qianyue immediately got to work, and Zhao Xing also released the Ten Thousand Skill Avatar to assist Cao Qianyue.

Time was indeed pressing, as he already sensed someone watching.

Although the Corpse Puppet Sect couldn't enter the Fuming Temple area,

Master Ziluo is of the Second Grade Realm.

Even if he didn't have the capital, he could gain authority from the major arena.

"He will definitely gain a Lord Level status. I must quickly use the treasures and exchange them with Yin Xiu for good items, turning treasures into strength."

Although the Royal City prohibits slaughter, he and Master Ziluo are not of the same level, and the latter cannot challenge him through the arena.

Yet higher authority could still cause him trouble.

...

"Lost track of him?" Outside the Fuming Temple area, Master Ziluo looked terrifyingly sullen at the two disciples.

"Ancestral Master, we can't get in." The two disciples trembled.

The area covered by the Fuming Temple is vast.

If they can't get in, how could they follow?

Zhao Xing could easily slip out in the opposite direction.

Of course, they lost him.

"You all, go to the arena!" Master Ziluo ordered, "Challenge those Dragon Ranks and complete the identity upgrade as quickly as possible!"

"Yes." Four disciples immediately followed the instructions and headed to the major arena.

"Crack~"

Master Ziluo closed his eyes, his Daoist robe fluttering, as the coffin panel behind him slowly opened a crack.

"Buzz~Buzz~"

Dragon flies, each the size of a finger, flew out.

They were corpse insects that had evolved by devouring Dragon Clan bodies.

They had twelve wings, two compound eyes, and sharp mouthparts.

Master Ziluo opened his eyes again, his pupils divided into countless grids.

Each corpse insect became his eye.

"Little thief! Dare snatch the secrets of the Corpse Puppet Sect, I won't spare you!"

...

While Master Ziluo planned to lie in wait and capture Zhao Xing,

at the same time, Zhao Xing had already towed four Dragon Pearl cargo ships out of the Fuming Temple area.

"Marquis, where are we going?"

"To the north of the Royal City lies a place called Gu Ting North Sea," Zhao Xing explained. "It's called a sea, but it's actually an enormous lake."

"That's where Dragon King Yin Xiu sleeps."

"He is the brother of Dragon King Yin Li, and they take turns governing. In a little over three hundred years, Dragon King Xiu will emerge, while his brother will fall into slumber."

"The Dragon King uses sleep to lower vital signs and extend life."

Cao Qianyue didn't know this, he just listened quietly.

Zhao Xing didn't mind telling Cao Qianyue since it wouldn't be a secret in the future.

If an expert from this dynasty came, Zhao Xing would also choose to tell them, as he couldn't exchange an entire Dragon King's treasure alone.

"I want to briefly awaken Dragon King 'Xiu' and offer tribute to him, just like to Dragon King 'Li'."

"Marquis, what's the difference?"

"Dragon King Xiu's personality is more gentle and fair, different from his brother," Zhao Xing said. "We can exchange for more good things."

"I see."

...

Upon arriving at North Sea Dragon Lake, Zhao Xing quickly found the area where Dragon King Xiu was sleeping.

There were no Dragon Clan guards, but many Dragon Language seals.

"Fire Chi Transformation!"

Zhao Xing performed the Marquis Transformation Method and plunged into the sea.

"Splash~"

The Dragon Ship also tilted and submerged into the North Sea.

Soon they encountered the first barrier, with currents in the sea continuously pushing, making it impossible to advance.

"North Sea Returning Currents, Water Dragon God Hidden Spell!"

Zhao Xing activated the Dragon Language Unsealing Spell, the Fire Chi puffed out bubbles underwater.

After appearing, the bubbles did not float up but sank instead.

Inside the bubbles, ancient Dragon Script and patterns flowed.

The surging undercurrent was quickly suppressed by the bubbles Zhao Xing exhaled.

The sea floor ahead suddenly turned from dark to clear.

Zhao Xing continued maneuvering the Dragon Ship forward.

After two quarters, the second obstacle appeared.

The seabed revealed twelve towering peaks.

Dragon heads stood on the peaks, with light scanning from the dragon eyes, dividing the seabed space and causing the sea water to vibrate at super frequencies.

Any Dragon Clan intruder, without knowing the method, even at Lord Level, would be vibrated to death.

"Dunlie, deploy the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle, insert them clockwise into the focal points of the twelve mountains, Zhaoyang, Huangluo..."

"The needles go in respectively at twelve zhang forty-six ke, nine zhang thirty-five ke, seven zhang fifteen ke..."

The Mechanical Master's Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle was originally a legacy from the Dragon Clan craft.

Of course, the Dragon Clan's version and the Human Clan's version have significant differences.

He remembered the sequence to pass, and though he could barely operate the Mechanical School's heavy weapon, he couldn't match Cao Qianyue's skill. If inserted incorrectly once, it would trigger the array's counterattack function.

"Yes!"

Cao Qianyue immediately operated on the Dragon Ship.

"Boom~"

He navigated the Dragon Ship as Zhao Xing required, precisely inserting the Dragon Clan version of the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle into the corresponding positions.

The water exploded, and the surrounding sea water no longer trembled.

Zhao Xing continued forward, leaving the twelve Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needles implanted there.
