Chapter 1005: Chapter 60: In the Dragon Court, the Speedrun Begins! (15,000)
"I’m leaving now. You take care." Long Xiao was third-rank, unable to enter with Zhao Xing’s group.
"Take care." Zhao Xing advised, "Don’t be impulsive. If you’re unable to control yourself, think of your child."
"I know." Long Xiao nodded heavily.
After speaking, he flew away on his sword, leaving the battleship, and soared into the sky.
On the fifteenth of June, during the Mao Hour.
The sky was slightly bright.
"Swish~"
A vast sea area suddenly collapsed altogether.
"Boom~"
A gigantic whirlpool appeared without warning.
The sea and sky seemed to tremble together!
The Great Zhou’s bright sky began to sway.
"Roar~"
An ancient sound seemed to come from the primordial land.
A massive Dragon Gate spanning a hundred miles emerged from the sea whirlpool.
Two Five-clawed Golden Dragons came out from the giant gems atop the Dragon Gate’s frame.
They seemed to exist truly, swimming around the frame left and right.
"Roar~"
An incredibly clear sound echoed through heaven and earth.
"By the order of the Dragon Court, the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate opens today!" Zhao Xing could understand Dragon Language and naturally grasped the meaning within the Dragon Roar.
The Dragon Roar Clear Sound spread to all directions, lasting until Noon.
The speed of the swimming dragons decreased, their heads fixed in the center above the frame, while their bodies lay across the sides.
A golden light shot out from the fortress-like frame, gradually thickening to form a massive golden Light Gate.
The gate was brimming with dragon silhouettes, full of majesty.
"It has come."
Zhao Xing licked his lips.
The greatest opportunity of the Jing Emperor Period had finally arrived.
"Meow~" The Mountain Cat, Gray Lion, and Inverted Sheep also grew excited.
"Everyone, ascend!"
At this moment, Bai Mingchuan’s voice roared, now in dragon form, transforming into a blue Flying Dragon.
"Swish swish swish swish~"
In the East Sea square formation, shadows broke through from three warships of the Sea God Ship.
"Enter!"
Bai Mingchuan shouted.
Swish swish swish~
The Middle Grade Realm experts of Great Zhou flew toward the Dragon Gate at that moment.
The other forces waited quietly.
They had to wait until all of Great Zhou’s slots were filled before it was their turn.
Zhao Xing followed the main group and rushed into the Dragon Court Light Gate.
...
Passing through the Light Gate felt like entering a space-time tunnel.
Zhao Xing felt himself and the three battle pets being infinitely stretched, as if exiled by the Light Gate to a distant, unknown place.
But the link between the pets and their master kept them as one, never separating.
At last, in a moment, the scene turned from gold to a gray ground before his eyes.
"Boom~"
Falling, rapidly falling!
The attraction of the earth veins in the Dragon Court Ancient Land was beyond imagination, only at the second breath did Zhao Xing completely stabilize.
Below was a vast gray land.
Rugged boulders, yellow sand swirling.
"Where is this place?"
Zhao Xing took out the map issued by the court, unable to spot any identifiable landmarks.
Without reference points, he could only search.
The first method was cloud travel; clouds spread, vastly expanding detection capabilities, though it caused too big a stir.
The second method was clones; Ten Thousand Skill Avatars explored different directions, causing less disturbance and being more detailed.
"Ten Thousand Skill Avatars!"
"Dayan Qi Observation Skill!"
Zhao Xing released numerous avatars, then activated the Dayan Qi Observation Skill.
Every living being possesses its Qi Fortune.
Avatars searched around; observing places where Qi Fortune gathered indicated the presence of a Dragon Clan.
Zhao Xing could then find reference points.
"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish~"
After sending out avatars for an hour.
Information gradually accumulated for Zhao Xing.
After an hour, he opened his eyes and unfolded the map.
"Judging by collected information, this area should belong to the... ’Gu Ting’ Kingdom territory? Close to the city?"
After repeated confirmation, his expression became extraordinarily brilliant.
"Is luck this good, appearing directly in one of the Ten Great Kingdoms, the Gu Ting Kingdom, which was the Dragon Kingdom I was most familiar with in a past life."
Random teleportation might place one on minor territories, far from the central Dragon Court region, where it’s mainly low-grade bloodline Dragon Clan gathering places with no benefits.
To obtain treasures, one must head toward the Central Dragon Court, at least within the Ten Great Kingdoms level, to possibly gain relics from the ancient era.
Both Great Zhou and other Outer Realm Forces prepared for years, expending great effort.
The ultimate goal was always the inheritance and treasures of the Central Dragon Court; everything else had no real value.
"Excellent." Zhao Xing showed a slight smile.
"Meow?" The Mountain Cat called out questioningly, not understanding why the master was joyously silly.
Zhao Xing petted the Mountain Cat’s head and spoke joyfully, "Thank you for the invitation, humans at the Dragon Court, beginning quick run-through."
After an hour, most avatars returned, and Zhao Xing led the three battle beasts directly toward Gu Ting Royal City.
