Chapter 803: Chapter 797: Cater to Their Interests
“Don’t rush, let’s take it slow.” David Jones slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
His words were not only to soothe Loona, but also a reminder to himself.
What is an Eighth Order Quasi-God? It is a Transcendent Existence second only to the Immortals of the Ninth Order, whose mere presence is enough to strike fear into the heart of any minor nation on Blue Star.
Even the Flowery Kingdom, one of the six poles of the world, harbored a deep apprehension for the Yamanano Brahma Dragon that occupied the Sakura Soul Country.
Moreover, the Eighth Order Quasi-God David Jones was facing possessed a formidable power strong enough to survive the lengthy passage of time, persisting from the ancient era to the present – the Turtle Minister of the West Sea.
Compared to such an overbearing existence, a newly risen Extreme Quasi-God Yamanano Brahma Dragon probably wasn’t worth mentioning.
After pondering for half a day, David Jones still couldn’t find a solution for the Sea-saving Turtle, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the Gluttonous Beast.
“Roar?” (Me?)
The Gluttonous Beast blinked its pitch-black dragon eyes, looking somewhat puzzled.
Its Mechanical Dragon Core had formidable computing power, far surpassing the so-called superchips of human society. It could establish multi-dimensional solutions through analysis, calculation, simulation, and prediction when faced with problems, but even this computing power had its limits.
In the current situation, with insufficient data, the Gluttonous Beast simply could not calculate the correct god-slaying project.
“I didn’t mean to trouble you,” David Jones said with a smile, “Help me dial my mentor’s number. I’m not sure if she has left seclusion recently.”
At these words, a glint of light flashed across the eyes of the Gluttonous Beast.
It might not be able to defeat a Quasi-God, but making a call was certainly no issue.
…
It wasn’t until evening that David Jones received a reply from his mentor.
Rosewood Garden Villa No. 2.
Walking up the cobblestone path to the door, his mentor’s voice was already audible.
“Come in.”
With the words, the front door automatically opened, and David Jones walked in, well acquainted with the route.
In the spacious and bright foyer, Teacher Lilith was making tea alone.
“You’ve arrived, have a seat first. The tea is almost ready.” Lilith Hoyle’s eyes remained fixed on the gently steaming teapot as she casually gestured to the seat beside her.
Inhaling the subtle fragrance of the tea, David Jones took a seat and waited in silence.
As time passed by, the enticing aroma of the tea grew stronger within the hall, to the point that even Rainbow, who normally disliked tea, couldn’t help but raise her head.
“Try this cup of Boundless Spirit Tea.”
David Jones took the clear tea passed by his mentor and took a delicate sip.
Boom!
The melt-in-the-mouth tea exploded on David Jones’ palate, offering a sensation that was both refreshingly sweet and possessed a bitter aftertaste that seemed to penetrate the soul.
In that instant where both flavors intertwined, David Jones could clearly perceive the pulse of his Origin Star.
At that moment, within the Origin Star Space, the already fervent flame of the Origin Star became even more vigorous, nurtured by this power.
This nurturing process might have lasted a minute, or it could have been a day. Unaware of how much time had passed, David Jones slowly opened his peaceful eyes, awakening from the baptismal ascension of his Origin Star.
“Class VI apex!”
Yes, that’s right. Just a single cup of tea had allowed his Origin Star to ascend by a minor rank, rising from the late stages of Class VI to the apex of Class VI, just a step away from the epic Class VII of the Origin Star.
“Is this the foundation of a legendary warrior!” David Jones glanced at the teapot and Rainbow, marveling inwardly.
Perceiving David Jones’s thoughts, Lilith Hoyle said, “The first cup of the Boundless Spirit Tea has the best effect; drinking more afterwards will only satisfy one’s taste.”
“Unlike Trainers, Pets generally see less effect from consuming Boundless Spirit Tea. However, if you like it, feel free to take this pot of tea with you as a reward.”
As she spoke, Lilith Hoyle stood up and stretched out her right hand.
Seeing this, David Jones instinctively bent forward so that his teacher could easily reach his shoulder.
“Not bad, it has been quite some time since someone capable of defeating legends cross-stage has appeared in the country. Rosewood College is relying on you to carry forward its glory!” Lilith Hoyle said with satisfaction.
“It’s rare to see you, so if you have anything to say, just speak up. If I can help, I naturally will.”
David Jones quickly picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Lilith Hoyle, “You jest, Teacher. It’s only right for a disciple to visit his teacher.”
“By the way, Teacher, do you know about the Four Seas Dragon Palace?”
With a smile that was not quite a smile, Lilith Hoyle looked at David Jones and directly pointed out, “The Four Seas Dragon Palace? The Immortal power that dominated the seas during the ancient times? Why the sudden interest? Don’t tell me you’ve found the entrance to the Dragon Palace.”
With that said, her face bore no sign of surprise.
Her own disciple had incredibly astonishing Destiny, even managing to form a Contract with a Destiny Sacred Beast.
It wouldn’t be surprising if he had found the entrance to the Four Seas Dragon Palace, or even a newly-emerged Heavenly Emperor Relic.
“I can’t hide anything from you, Teacher. What I found is the entrance to the West Sea Dragon Palace,” David Jones nodded, with no intention of hiding anything.
Why let outsiders benefit? If he could use the West Sea Dragon Palace to find the Candle Dragon Palace and bring about Loona’s Evolution into a Time Talent Pet, he had no problem offering the entire treasury of the Dragon Palace as a tribute to his teacher. After all, he was sure to reap great benefits himself later on.
You really found the entrance to the Dragon Palace!
Lilith Hoyle sat up straight, her face taking on a grave expression.
“Though the Four Seas Dragon Palace has disappeared from Blue Star for many years, its strength is absolutely not to be underestimated. What did you encounter inside?”
“At least an Eighth Order Quasi-God who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years,” David Jones explained. “In addition, the gates of the Dragon Palace were firmly closed, with no trace of dragons to be found. At present, I’m not certain if there’s an existence more formidable than the Sea-saving Turtle in the depths of the Dragon Palace.”
Upon hearing this, Lilith Hoyle looked at David Jones intently.
She thought she had already highly estimated the capabilities of her disciple with exceptional Talent.
Yet, in the end, she underestimated him!
Being able to safely withdraw in front of an Eighth Order Quasi-God, David Jones’s strength could perhaps match that of a Deity-level powerhouse!
“Teacher, what’s the matter? Is something wrong?” David Jones asked.
“Nothing,” Lilith Hoyle shook her head slightly, her tone revealing a bit of caution.
“The Four Seas Dragon Palace is located in the boundless depths of the sea and is a sacred place for the Sea Dragon Clan. During ancient times, any force that dared to provoke the Dragon Palace would be annihilated by the Sea Dragon Clan.”
“Although the Four Seas Dragon Palace has been in decline for who knows how many years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Plus, there are still traces of Immortal Divine Dragons within the Sea Dragon Clan. If not necessary, it’s best not to provoke them.”
David Jones was somewhat surprised.
Facing a top-grade power with unknown strength, Teacher Lilith’s reaction was even more cautious and steady than he had anticipated.
“In any case, the Federation of Trainer Guild has already set a strategy for the next fifty years, and now is not the time to provoke the Four Seas Dragon Palace.” As Lilith Hoyle spoke, a flicker of light from the Star Ring on her finger, and a jade box instantly appeared on the tabletop.
“But to obtain the Immortal treasures within the Dragon Palace, we don’t necessarily have to occupy the Dragon Palace.”
“What do you mean, Teacher?” David Jones asked.
“It’s simple, give them what they want,” Lilith Hoyle’s eyes narrowed slightly, “There are many ways to reach Flowery Kingdom. We could represent Rosewood and attempt to establish a mutually beneficial cooperation with the Dragon Palace.”
