Chapter 1994: Chapter 1991: Dragon Raising Island
"Let’s choose this one."
Lin Bai pointed to a certain island on the sea map.
"Dragon Raising Island!" Shang Xiaobing saw the position Lin Bai was pointing at and turned pale with fear.
Seeing his sudden change in expression, Lin Bai immediately frowned and asked, "What’s wrong, Senior Brother Shang Xiaobing, is something amiss?"
Shang Xiaobing calmed the turmoil in his heart and said to Lin Bai, "Junior Brother, this place... uh, perhaps you should choose another place."
Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Senior Brother, is there something wrong with this place?"
It’s not that Lin Bai was being stubborn, but having finally found a place he liked, he was reluctant to change it unnecessarily.
More importantly, Lin Bai had looked over the entire Southern Yard Archipelago and found the only place he liked was the island called "Dragon Raising Island"!
The location of Dragon Raising Island was extremely special. It was on the edge of the Southern Yard Archipelago, yet it was an excellent place.
If the Southern Yard Archipelago were compared to a Divine Dragon, then Dragon Raising Island would be the Dragon’s Eye, a place that gathers the momentum of heaven and earth.
Shang Xiaobing said solemnly, "Junior Brother, to tell you the truth, this place is somewhat eerie."
"For the past thousand years, no one has lived here."
"Five people chose Dragon Raising Island, but without exception, these five warriors who lived on the island mysteriously disappeared."
"The Southern Yard has investigated the island for a long time but found no trace of these five people nor any abnormality on Dragon Raising Island."
"In other words, for a thousand years, any warrior who lived on Dragon Raising Island ended up mysteriously disappearing, and no one knows where they went."
Shang Xiaobing said faintly.
Lin Bai frowned, "Is it really that eerie?"
Shang Xiaobing leaned in close to Lin Bai and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother, it’s said that this might be related to someone from a thousand years ago."
Lin Bai looked at Shang Xiaobing curiously.
Shang Xiaobing whispered, "It’s said that a thousand years ago, a strange man once lived here. It’s said that he was a... warrior who raised dragons..."
"Dragon Raising Island got its name because of this person."
"And a thousand years later, the warriors who lived on this island were rumored to have been eaten alive by the Divine Dragon hiding on the island."
"Junior Brother, as you can see, Dragon Raising Island is located in the easternmost part of the Southern Yard Archipelago, close to the Boundless Sea Area of the God-Demon Sea, the farthest island from the center of the archipelago."
"Legend has it that the dragon raiser died, and the island really nurtured a Divine Dragon, which lurks around the island. Over the past thousand years, many warriors have tried to explore Dragon Raising Island but all have come back empty-handed."
Shang Xiaobing smiled faintly, "So, Junior Brother, you should choose another place."
Lin Bai, hearing Shang Xiaobing’s words, smiled faintly, "No need, Senior Brother. I find this place quite interesting. I’ll choose here."
"If I find anything unusual, I will leave."
Lin Bai said with a smile.
Shang Xiaobing tried to persuade Lin Bai a few more times, but seeing Lin Bai insist on choosing this place, he said helplessly, "Alright then, since Junior Brother has chosen Dragon Raising Island, it shall be here."
Shang Xiaobing then fetched a residence token for Lin Bai.
"This residence token can be combined with your identity token. After returning to Dragon Raising Island, you can use your identity token to activate the Magic Circle."
Shang Xiaobing said.
Lin Bai took his newly obtained identity token in one hand and the residence token in the other. After a glow in the mountain cave moment, they merged into one.
And at this moment, the token in Lin Bai’s hand had "South Campus of the East Continent Academy" written on the front and "Dragon Raising Island, Lin Bai" on the back.
With Lin Bai having obtained the Dragon Raising Island token, a glow flashed on the island in the Southern Yard Archipelago, indicating that it was now inhabited by a disciple.
Shang Xiaobing said, "Junior Brother, now that you’ve found a place to live, you can find the location according to the ’East Continent Academy’ book you just received."
"I won’t disturb you any further."
"By the way, Junior Brother, in a month, a mentor selection for all new warriors will take place on Spirit Master Island. At that time, all new warriors must attend."
"Remember the time and be sure not to miss it."
Shang Xiaobing cupped his fists.
Lin Bai smiled, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
After speaking, Shang Xiaobing proceeded to the next disciple’s location.
Lin Bai, holding his identity token, pulled out a map of the Southern Yard Archipelago from his storage bag, opened it, confirmed the direction of Dragon Raising Island, and left Executes Island.
"Dragon Raising Island."
After leaving the Executive Hall, Lin Bai flew towards Dragon Raising Island, following the map along the way.
Dragon Raising Island, within the South Campus of the East Continent Academy, is also a somewhat famous place.
Its notoriety dates back to a thousand years ago.
A thousand years ago, there was a warrior who joined the South Campus of the East Continent Academy and resided on this island.
After joining the East Continent Academy, he did not diligently cultivate but instead lived alone on the island for years. His friends visited him several times, but he turned them away, claiming he was "raising dragons" and should not be disturbed.
Over time, even his friends stopped contacting him as often.
About ten years later, one of his friends remembered him and specifically went to Dragon Raising Island again, only to find that the man was nowhere to be seen.
The dragon raiser seemed to have disappeared from the island.
After that, the island was left unoccupied, with stories circulating about dragon raising.
In the thousand years since, five disciples chose to live there, but without exception, all mysteriously disappeared in the Southern Yard.
Dragon Raising Island was thus shrouded in a veil of mystery.
Until today, when Lin Bai moved into Dragon Raising Island.
"Found it."
Lin Bai put away the sea map, looking a bit tired, as he saw an island with tree canopies covering the sky, standing amidst the stormy waves of the God-Demon Sea.
"I’ve been searching for five days, finally found it." Lin Bai put away the map and flew towards Dragon Raising Island.
Arriving high above the island, Lin Bai descended and soon felt the barrier of the Magic Circle.
The Magic Circle was a simple isolation barrier that shielded Dragon Raising Island from the winds and waves of the God-Demon Sea.
Feeling the Magic Circle, Lin Bai flipped through his storage bag, and upon retrieving the identity token, a ripple appeared in the high skies above Dragon Raising Island, then spread open.
Lin Bai entered Dragon Raising Island directly.
After Lin Bai entered, the Magic Circle closed again.
"This place will be my foothold within the East Continent Academy!"
"Dragon Raising Island!"
Lin Bai’s face showed a hint of joy.
