It had to be said, being revered as an expert and treated with such courtesy by Cang Luer and the others was a truly pleasant feeling.
It was as if Ye Yu had regained the sense of superiority he once felt when he was the most outstanding person on Xuanji Star.
He couldn't help but think of Jun Xiaoyao again.
He realized that as long as he didn't see that person, he felt truly comfortable.
Ye Yu figured that Jun Xiaoyao must still be in the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, contentedly serving as King Xiaoyao.
Meanwhile, he had been working hard to Cultivate and was making progress.
Ye Yu thought to himself that even though the gap between him and Jun Xiaoyao was still large right now, as long as he continued to develop like this, sooner or later, not to mention defeating Jun Xiaoyao, he would at least have the confidence to stand before him without the slightest bit of stage fright.
The location of the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan was situated in an extremely vast expanse of the inner sea.
This was a fertile land, where even above the sea surface, mists of Spiritual Qi swirled.
Numerous ships and ancient beasts gathered here from all directions.
The base of the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan, just like the Mermaid Clan, was not above the sea, but beneath it.
On the sea surface, portals appeared that could transport people directly to the seabed.
Deep beneath the sea lay a vast, continuous expanse of palaces, where rare treasures refracted thousands of divine rays of light.
The Mermaid Clan's underwater city had already been magnificent, exquisite, and luxurious.
But as one of the three imperial lineages of the Sea Abyss Scale Clan, the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan's base was even more grand and magnificent.
An incredibly vast Formation supported a canopy that kept the seawater at bay.
Inside, it was as if it formed a world of its own.
At a glance, one could see rows upon rows of underwater dragon palaces.
Countless sea clansmen were constantly coming and going.
The Canghai Imperial Clan's fleet of ships had also entered this place.
Looking at the boundless and grand underwater dragon palace, it was Ye Yu's first time seeing it, and it was certainly an eye-opening experience.
"Brother Ye Yu, let's go in," said Cang Luer.
Ye Yu nodded.
They entered this dragon palace.
The streets were bustling and lined with buildings, forming a vast underwater city.
The true core members of the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan all lived within the deepest dragon palace.
The outer areas were more like a bustling city.
"Brother Ye Yu, there is still some time before the Old Dragon King's birthday banquet begins, so let's look around first," said Cang Luer.
In her eyes, Ye Yu was somewhat mysterious.
Cang Luer had also developed the intention to recruit him and wanted to build a good relationship with him.
"Alright," Ye Yu nodded.
There were clearly quite a few treasures within the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan.
Perhaps there would be an opportunity to pick up some bargains.
After all, with the Spirit of the Gate of Creation around, he could be considered a king of picking up bargains.
Ye Yu couldn't help but feel an itch in his hands and started his old trade: picking up bargains.
And Cang Luer, upon seeing Ye Yu select some rare treasures that were difficult for ordinary people to identify, became even more certain in her heart that Ye Yu was definitely a Great Master of Source Arts.
Such a person, even if their Cultivation Realm was not outstanding, would still be an honored guest of various forces.
Not long after, Ye Yu saw, in the core area of this underwater dragon city, a towering pillar, resembling the fabled Needle that Pacifies the Sea, standing in the central area of the city.
The entire pillar was a mottled silver color, shimmering with specks of starlight, appearing incredibly brilliant and resplendent.
At a glance, one knew this was definitely a supreme treasure.
"What is that?" Ye Yu asked curiously.
Cang Luer explained, "Brother Ye Yu, you may not know, but that is the supreme treasure of the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan, forged from the rare Falling Star Divine Iron."
"It is the foundation object that suppresses the entire dragon palace."
"Falling Star Divine Iron," Ye Yu said, his eyes showing a strange light.
Cang Luer explained.
Once, a meteorite from beyond the heavens fell into the Primordial Star Sea and transformed into Falling Star Divine Iron.
Although Falling Star Divine Iron did not reach the level of Immortal Gold, it was still an absolutely rare and precious forging Material.
A piece of Falling Star Divine Iron the size of a fist would be worth a fortune.
And the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan had once accidentally obtained a piece of Falling Star Divine Iron the size of a meteorite.
In the end, they forged this object of suppression.
Although it was not a powerful Immortal Artifact or divine treasure, the value of its Materials alone was unimaginable.
"I see, but what a pity, it can only be looked at," Ye Yu shook his head.
Cang Luer, however, pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "That's not necessarily true."
"The Sea Dragon Imperial Clan once declared that if anyone could, without relying on Cultivation, magical power, Realm, or other such forces, but solely by the strength of their Physical Body, lift this Falling Star Divine Iron, they would gift it to them."
"Oh? There's such a thing?" Ye Yu was surprised.
Such a large piece of Falling Star Divine Iron was of immeasurable value.
Not to mention comparing it to a finished Immortal Artifact, but calculated by its value, it was at least equivalent to a quasi-Immortal Artifact.
Even if the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan lost it, they would probably feel a lot of heartache.
Cang Luer shook her head slightly and said, "Brother Ye Yu, you might not know, but this Falling Star Divine Iron is extremely heavy and possesses a special runic magnetic field."
"Such a heavy pillar, even an Imperial Body would find it hard to shake."
Hearing Cang Luer's words, Ye Yu also said, "I see, I knew the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan wouldn't be that generous."
One could not use any Divine Ability, Law, or power of Cultivation Realm.
Relying purely on the strength of the Physical Body, the conditions were indeed a bit harsh.
"By the way, the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan also once said that if anyone could accomplish this feat, they would allow their clan's pearl, Princess Yuhan, to marry them."
"Brother Ye Yu, are you interested? That Princess Yuhan is one of the top beauties in the Star Sea," Cang Luer blinked.
"I'll pass," Ye Yu waved his hand.
His strength was currently still in the developmental stage, so it was impossible for him to accomplish this.
However, the voice of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation rang out in his mind.
"Once I recover later and help you cleanse your Physique, this kind of thing will be a piece of cake."
Hearing this, Ye Yu didn't say anything.
The Spirit of the Gate of Creation had already painted enough pies for him.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jun Xiaoyao, also riding the Black Jiao King, had arrived at this underwater dragon palace.
He looked around.
It was indeed worthy of being one of the three imperial lineages of the Sea Abyss Scale Clan; such a grand spectacle was far beyond what the Mermaid Clan's underwater city could compare to.
They descended into the underwater dragon palace.
Because the Old Dragon King's birthday banquet had invited heroes far and wide, the guards were not very strict.
Mainly because there were not many living beings or forces that dared to cause trouble in the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan's home base.
"Is this the legendary dragon palace?"
Beside Jun Xiaoyao, Sang Yu widened her beautiful eyes, her horizons greatly broadened.
She had often seen rumors of underwater dragon palaces in various ancient books, never thinking she would have the fortune to actually see one.
"What kind of dragon palace is this..."
Jun Xiaoyao chuckled, noncommittal.
A bunch of sea dragons, strictly speaking, were just a branch of the Dragon Clan.
To put it bluntly, they were just sub-dragon species in the sea.
They still couldn't compare to the True Dragon Clan.
Like the ancient Kunpeng, true Primordial True Dragons were definitely creatures above the Immortal Rank, powerful by nature.
Even the Ancestral Dragon Clan, Jun Xiaoyao didn't care much about, let alone the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan.
And just as Jun Xiaoyao was idling in thought, he seemed to have sensed a certain aura, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"Interesting, I didn't expect him to actually come."
"As expected of a Son of Destiny, he certainly changes maps quite diligently."
