“Just you wait. One day, I’m going to make you pay for this!”
Yang Kai’s expression was gloomy as he muttered seemingly to himself. Meanwhile, Li Jiao silently hid in a corner like a cicada in winter. For some reason, Yang Kai’s temper suddenly became extremely bad one month after they set off from the Northern Territory. His expression was so cold and dark that it felt like his face was covered in ayer of frost. Moreover, he constantly cursed at somebody under his breath.
Yang Kai’s behaviour caused Li Jiao to be on edge all the time. [I didn’t do anything to upset him recently, so why is he acting like this all of a sudden?]
Fortunately, Yang Kai did notsh out at Li Jiao even though he was in a bad mood. Nevertheless, Li Jiao behaved very carefully around Yang Kai, lest he caused the building resentment in the other to suddenly erupt.
There was no doubt that Yang Kai was in a bad mood; however, it wasn’t because of Li Jiao but Luan Feng! [It’s all because that damn woman destroyed the Space Array I previously arranged in the Ancient Wild Lands. Otherwise, I could have gone directly from High Heaven Pce to the Ancient Wild Lands, then headed towards the East Sea!]
Although the distance between these two locations was not small, it was still infinitely better than the distance between the Northern and Eastern Territories. It was because Luan Feng destroyed his Space Array that he now had to fly all the way to the Eastern Territory. Even if the journey went smoothly, it still took a great deal of time!
For that reason, Yang Kai felt extremely upset and annoyed and vowed to himself that he was going to make Luan Feng pay for this. It was simply too frustrating otherwise!
The Flowing Clouds Shuttle travelled very quickly with Yang Kai and Li Jiao taking turns steering.
Whenever Yang Kai was free, he would sit down cross-legged to cultivate. His cultivation might have hit a bottleneck, but it didn’t prevent him from cultivating the Dragon Transformation Secret Art. At present, he became forty-five metres tall after his Dragon Transformation. Besides, cultivating the Dragon Transformation Secret Art could greatly help the Golden Divine Dragon’s Source integrate with his body and increase the power of his Dragon Transformation.
Once in a while, he also contemted the Dao of Space. The Space Divine Abilities he currently wielded were essentially the fruits of hisprehension of the Dao of Space, each of them strong in their own way. Thus, it would be of great help to him if he could gain more insight into the Dao of Space.
This trip to Dragon Ind was rather impulsive, but it was also the result of careful consideration. Yang Kai knew that he still had a long way to go in his cultivation, and if things went sour, they might get dragged into a conflict on Dragon Ind. [Entering Dragon Ind with my current strength spells certain death. Still, Zhu Qing is on that ind. I can’t just sit around and do nothing.]
What Zhu Lie mentioned to him in the Revolving World echoed in his ears. He did not know what Zhu Qing might have encountered after she returned to Dragon Ind, but it was obvious that the oue would not be good.
A True Dragon was involved in an intimate rtionship with a Human. Yang Kai didn’t even need to think to know that Dragon Ind would never allow for something like that. If Zhu Qing gave in and decided to end their rtionship because she failed to stand up against the pressure, he would have to reluctantly ept; however, if she refused to give in to the pressure, she would surely have to suffer.
[Will Zhu Qing be willing to sever our rtionship?] Yang Kai never even bothered to consider this question because he knew what she would choose without even needing to think about it.
Time passed, and the days went by peacefully.
Yang Kai had not made much progress in the Dragon Transformation Secret Art. He had not been cultivating that Secret Art for long after all. It was all thanks to the Dragon Blood Pill and Zhu Qing’s pure Primordial Yin that he could achieve a height of forty-five metres. If he wanted to improve that Secret Art even further, then he would need time, a lot of it actually.
Finally, the duo arrived at the East Sea. Standing above the vast and boundless waters, it seemed like the blue sky was cloudless for tens of thousands of kilometres.
Even with the assistance of the Flowing Clouds Shuttle, it took Yang Kai and Li Jiao two months to arrive from the Northern Territory. That went to show just how far apart the major territories in Star Boundary were.
Upon arriving at the East Sea, Li Jiao took over control of the Flowing Clouds Shuttle. Yang Kai had no idea where Dragon Ind was, whereas Li Jiao was the one who knew the approximate location.
It was understandable. Just as Yang Kai had guessed, Li Jiao was a Dragonborn with the blood of the Dragon n in him; therefore, he had a special attachment towards Dragon Ind. Even the fact that he had never been to Dragon Ind before did not hinder these feelings from growing in him. Li Jiao desperately wanted to visit Dragon Ind; however, he was aware that his meagre bloodline did not qualify him to enter.
Still, five hundred years ago, Li Jiao had searched the East Sea for a very long time to find Dragon Ind. He spent a full three years looking for clues, but was only able to gain a general idea of its location.
ording to Li Jiao, back then, he inadvertently followed somebody into a coastal region, but unfortunately, the person he had been following, who seemed to be part of the Dragon n, mysteriously disappeared after entering that ce.
This discovery made him very excited and heter searched the area for a long time only to fail to obtain any other clues. Thus, he could only give up on his endeavour. It wasn’t until Yang Kai came looking for him that the suppressed desire in his heart burst out again. For that reason, he had chased after Yang Kai so boldly.
“Back then, I lost sight of that guy in this region.” The Flowing Clouds Shuttle had been put away and above the vast and borderless sea, Li Jiao stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him as he exined to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai nced left and right. Frowning, he asked. “Are you sure this is the ce? There’s nothing here that you can use as reference.”
Li Jiao said. “Although there is nothing here to use as reference, I will never forget this ce. I have always kept the image of this ce in my heart.”
Yang Kai nodded. [If he is that confident, then it’s probably the right ce.] “This area is vast, at least tens of thousands of kilometres across. Moreover, we have no clues whatsoever.”
“Should we just forget about it then?” Li Jiao looked at Yang Kai timidly. Throughout the entire journey, he had been extremely excited; he wanted to enter Dragon Ind and explore that ce; however, now that he had arrived at this ce again, he was getting cold feet. He was scared, but he wasn’t scared of dying. He was afraid as to whether he had the courage to enter Dragon Ind if they actually managed to find it. It was a question he asked himself constantly but could not answer.
“Brother Li, you can go back if you want to, but I’m going to continue searching.” Saying so, Yang Kai flew off.
Li Jiao stood there and hesitated for a moment before shouting, “Let’s search separately!” After saying that, he began flying in the opposite direction.
Yang Kai spread his Divine Sense around like a tide in the sea, carefully exploring every inch of this ce. He even flew slowly, lest he missed anything.
Dragon Ind’s location was so mysterious that no one knew where it was. In his opinion, that must be the work of an impressive Spirit Array whichpletely concealed all the traces of Dragon Ind from the world.
[If Dragon Ind is being concealed by a Spirit Array, then there will surely be traces of its existence.] As long as he could locate that Spirit Array, the location of Dragon Ind would be revealed too. Yang Kai might not know much about Spirit Arrays, but he did know that all of them gave off fluctuations. Everything would fall into ce once he detected the fluctuating energy of a Spirit Array.
One day, two days, three days…
Yang Kai expanded the search scope little by little but found nothing despite turning the coastal area spanning tens of thousands of kilometres upside down. During this period, he met up with Li Jiao several times. Unfortunately, Li Jiao had no results to show either.
Ten dayster, they had doubled the scope of the search. One monthter, the search scope doubled again.
Yang Kai’s expression gradually became extremely ugly. [Don’t tell me I’ll have to return home empty-handed without even locating Dragon Ind? That would be the world’s biggest joke.]
When he met with Li Jiao again, he frowned and asked, “Are you sure Dragon Ind is in this coastal area?”
“Of course, I’m certain,” Li Jiao nodded repeatedly. A long whileter, he suddenly seemed to realize something. “Pce Master Yang, are you doubting me? You can’t wrong me like this; I’m innocent! Besides, what good will it do me to lie to you?”
“I’m not doubting you. It’s just that so many years have passed and the surrounding scenery in this vast sea is homogenous. It’s inevitable if you recall the ce wrongly.”
“Impossible!” Li Jiao denied vehemently, “It’s impossible for me to get it wrong! It’s definitely this ce! There’s no doubt about it!”
Yang Kai couldn’t say anything anymore after seeing Li Jiao’s reaction. He nodded slightly and looked out into the distance. [Should I go to Spirit Beast Ind? Although Martial Beast Great Emperor and Dragon Ind are on bad terms with each other, it shouldn’t be a problem for Martial Beast Great Emperor to provide some directions, right?]
“Haa… Dragon Ind is so mysterious and hard to locate… If only we had a Dragon Ind Token…” Li Jiao sighed.
Yang Kai abruptly turned his head to look at Li Jiao.
“What is it?” Li Jiao eximed in surprise.
Yang Kai said, “Can the Dragon Ind Token locate Dragon Ind?”
Li Jiao replied, “I think so. The Dragon Ind Token is something the Dragon Ind issued to others after all. Those who hold one of the Dragon Ind Tokens can ask Dragon Ind to fulfil one of their wishes as long as it is within the Dragon n’s abilities. However, the Dragon n rarely appears in public. If somebody obtained the Dragon Ind Token, they would have toe to Dragon Ind to make their wish, right? But, how do they get into Dragon Ind? Naturally, they can only rely on the Dragon Ind Token to do so.” Then, Li Jiao sighed, “Unfortunately, only a few Dragon Ind Tokens exist. Besides, I heard Dragon Ind took most of them back, so finding a Dragon Ind Token now is more difficult than ascending to the Heavens.”
Yang Kai let out a long sigh. He raised his head and patted Li Jiao on the shoulder with a sorrowful expression.
Li Jiao was shocked. “What’s wrong, Pce Master?!”
Yang Kai lifted his head and forced out a smile that looked even worse than if he had cried. Gritting his teeth, he growled. “Why didn’t you mention something so important sooner!?”
Li Jiao felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, as if his arm was about to be crushed. [Why is Yang Kai going crazy all of a sudden!?]
“You didn’t ask.”
He had only mentioned it off-handedly; he did not expect Yang Kai to react so strongly to his words.
“A Dragon Ind Token, right?” Yang Kai released his grip and took something out, “I have one right here!”
“Huh?” Li Jiao was dumbfounded; he didn’t know whether tough or cry as he shouted, “Why didn’t you take that out earlier?!”
“How was I supposed to know it would be of use here?!”
The two of them looked at each other, both feeling a little speechless and close to tears. They had worked so hard trying to locate Dragon Ind for the past month with no results to show for it, only to learn that the key to solving the puzzle had been in their hands all along.
“Is this really a Dragon Ind Token?” Li Jiao asked in disbelief. He had just mentioned how rare Dragon Ind Tokens were. As far as he knew, only a handful of them even existed. Moreover, most of them had been retrieved by the Dragon n. Thus, he could not believe that Yang Kai could pull one out of his pockets.
Upon a closer look, the Dragon Ind Token was simple and unpretentious. It was made out of unknown materials that were neither metal nor wood. On one side, a life-like Great Dragon had been carved into it while the character ‘Dragon’ had been engraved on the other side.
Li Jiao felt a little out of sorts. [This… Really seems to be a genuine Dragon Ind Token! It’s not much different from the records I have seen in ancient books!]
“Are you sure this is useful?” Yang Kai asked, looking at Li Jiao.
Li Jiao was uncertain, “Probably?”
He had no way to be sure; after all, he had never used this before. Still, it was just as he had said. The location of Dragon Ind was hidden and the Dragon n had not shown themselves for a long time now. If anybody obtained a Dragon Ind Token and wanted to get to Dragon Ind, they would most likely need to use the Dragon Ind Token to find the location of Dragon Ind. After all, it’s not as if the Dragon n was going to guide them there.
