Chapter 1175: Dragon Palace of the Four Seas
The major change to the Floating Dreams Pagoda was that Wu Yu could now let others in.
In the past, it wouldn't work. Even if he tried to force it, it would last for just an instant before the Floating Dreams Pagoda would eject outsiders automatically.
Now, although Wu Yu had not fully formed a blood bond with the Floating Dreams Pagoda, he could still sense the change.
There seemed to be a certain level of requirement on Wu Yu's Primordial Spirit. To let others in, he would have to endure a certain level of stress.
Although he did not know why, his guess was that the Floating Dreams Pagoda would probably be under stress too if others were to enter and enjoy the 10 times the amount of time.
Perhaps letting just an additional person in would be twice as difficult for the Floating Dreams Pagoda to maintain the 10 times acceleration. This would be the same for the subsequent addition of people.
A dao treasure, or perhaps an immortal treasure of the gods, of this level like the Ancient Soul Tower of the Ancient Emperor could allow a large number of people in without exerting much pressure on the Ancient Emperor.
Therefore, Wu Yu felt that this probably had something to do with time.
10 times acceleration was, in fact, extremely difficult.
The changes that came after successfully challenging the puppet surprised Wu Yu dearly.
Nonetheless, the most joyous ones were the Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi. They were long envious of Wu Yu having five times the amount of time.
They had thought of catching up to Wu Yu. However, whenever they recalled that Wu Yu had five times more time than them, they inevitably gave up.
Therefore, the Full Moon of Nanshan laughed heartily, "It's finally time to show my worth!" Wu Yu was still planning to head to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. However, he wasn't going with the Floating Dreams Pagoda this time. He left the Floating Dreams Pagoda and his Heaven Devouring Avatar behind so the Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi could continue cultivating within it.
As for Wu You and Feng Xueya, they didn't need time as dearly as them. Furthermore, if they went in too, the Floating Dreams Pagoda probably couldn't take it. Wu Yu could clearly sense that although he had only let the Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi in, the time in it had become a little erratic.
Fortunately, the flow of time was maintained at roughly 10 times, with it dropping to eight times from time to time.
Even so, this was greatly beneficial for both of them.
"Are you sure you are returning to the Jambu Realm?" asked the Full Moon of Nanshan.
Wu Yu chuckled and said, "I have to go back somehow in my lifetime. I couldn't possibly hide here forever."
"That's true. The Ancient Emperor even sent your loved ones to you. I guess the possibility is slim." Initially, the Full Moon of Nanshan still couldn't believe it. However, as time passed, they were safe and sound and the Ancient Emperor had fulfilled his promise - he felt like he might have overthought this.
"If he had any ill intentions, he could have imprisoned me at the beginning. He wouldn't have to take the risk of me entering the Ancient Demon Realm."
Regardless, no matter which perspective they took, the Ancient Emperor wasn't the same as they had assumed initially.
"Perhaps we had a fixed impression of him before knowing."
Wu Yu had used the Gateway to the Jambu Realm previously and he was fine.
Moreover, he was starting to miss Luo Pin.
The initial promise was that he would visit her.
Wu Yu moved through the Gateway to the Ancient Demon Realm and was back in the Jambu Realm.
He was hovering above the Yan Huang Ancient Country.
As he looked across, the kingdom was incomparably prosperous with lots of experts. Those huge cities were densely packed and scattered across, looking more lively than the deserted Ancient Demon Realm.
He could also hear numerous people chorusing his name, their eyes filled with sincerity.
Wu Yu returned to the Immortal's Capital first. In the vast Immortal's Capital, whenever someone noticed him, they would go down on their knees and cheer.
Qian Kun Palace, 10,000 Immortals Palace.
As Wu Yu wasn't in, it was empty. Di Shatian was really busy attending to all matters throughout the kingdom. However, he managed everything well and could be said to be greatly important.
"Emperor Yu, you have finally come out of seclusion. Do you have plans to choose your consorts this time? Or are you heading to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas?" asked Di Shatian.
He was still worried about choosing consorts for Wu Yu. Over the past year, many people had sent information of beautiful girls to him. Now those had piled up like a mountain. In this world, there were countless beautiful ladies who were waiting for Wu Yu to choose them. Small officials who wished to use their daughters to progress their positions were numerous.
Di Shatian knew Wu Yu would probably choose a consort after becoming dao companions with Luo Pin.
Wu Yu also knew that as long as he agreed, 10,000 Immortals Palace would probably be filled with beautiful girls with various backgrounds from the entire Jambu Realm in a few days.
However, his interest was only at the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. Therefore, he replied, "I'm thinking of visiting the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas."
Di Shatian said, "Let me get some guys to escort Emperor Yu there. The elite experts of our Yan Huang Tribe are not at all inferior to the dragon tribe."
Wu Yu shook his head. "That's not necessary. I can go on my own."
Di Shatian frowned and said, "Emperor Yu, you might not know about this. The mystical dragon tribe abhors external marriage. They are eager to expand the size of their tribe and therefore are worried about mixed blood. Basically, descendants with mixed blood would not be allowed into the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. I could also tell from the previous time that other than the Lord of the Four Seas, the other mystical dragons probably don't see eye to eye with you. In fact...."
"I know about that. However, do you think I'm afraid of them?" Wu Yu said with a smile.
Di Shatian was taken aback. When he saw the confident look on Wu Yu, he asked, "Emperor Yu, are you confident of it?"
Wu Yu answered, "Definitely. Moreover, if I head there with a large coalition, it would be even more disrespectful to them. After all, I'm not there to provoke the mystical dragon tribe. More importantly, I want them to recognize me." Di Shatian nodded and said, "You are right. However, please be careful."
After settling some matters with them, Wu Yu left the Yan Huang Ancient Country. Steering his Somersault Cloud, he flew in the direction of the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.
The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas was well-hidden, so ordinary folk would never find it.
However, Luo Pin had given him the location previously. This made things easier.
At the speed of the Somersault Cloud, he was even way quicker than Luo Pin when she returned to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas previously.
Honestly, Wu Yu's heart was in his mouth when Luo Pin was returning to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.
Fortunately, she had returned safely.
Now he wanted to give Luo Pin a surprise. Therefore, he did not inform Luo Pin in advance.
In the past, the mystical dragons could be divided into four tribes, each located in the East, West, South, and North Seas. However, after the calamity with the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord, three dragon palaces were destroyed, leaving only the dragon palace in the East Sea intact. Subsequently, the dragon palace in the East Sea was renamed the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas and the four major mystical dragon tribes gathered in the East Sea.
The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas was even further east than the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
Therefore, Wu Yu passed by the Dong Sheng Divine Continent on his journey.
He did not go down, as he was eager to see Luo Pin. Instead, he had decided to take a look at Dong Yue Wu, the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Shushan Immortal Sect, and Yan Huang Imperial City on his way back. He recalled that the Imperial General was still there.
He could still recall the Yan Huang City Lord giving up his life to deal with the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord.
As he headed east, he saw the Four Islands of the East Sun. Wu Yu was familiar with them and could recall the intense battle with the Ghostly Emperor happening here.
The Dong Sheng Divine Continent was meaningful in the relationship between Luo Pin and him.
He crossed the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, headed further east, entered the sea region, traversed through nine turns and eighteen bends in the deep sea before finally finding a cave. When he exited the cave, he felt like he had entered a different world. The seawater was calm and the sun was radiant. The entire world was a beautiful shade of blue and white. Moreover, after arriving, he could sense the spiritual qi gradually becoming denser from the scarce environment of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent towards the level of Yan Huang Ancient Region.
The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas was hidden in this world and behind terrifying spirit designs.
Luo Pin had told him that even the Ancient Emperor couldn't enter.
Therefore, Wu Yu just had to search for spirit designs to locate the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.
He searched meticulously as he progressed in this world.
It wasn’t long before he sensed a large piece of sea region appearing extremely unique. No matter how he entered the region, he couldn't get in. When he stood above the region, he could see the changes below him. This region was where the spiritual qi was leaking from. The surrounding spiritual qi originated from this position. Wu Yu believed that this was the entrance to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.
He took out a Message Talisman, wrote on it and sent it out. The Message Talisman vanished from his sight rapidly and into the seawater. This was a unique Message Talisman that Luo Pin had given him. It could transmit information into the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. Other core-tail talismans would probably not find a place like this.
Recalling the days, the same day last year was the day Wu Yu exited the Ancient Soul Tower. The next day was his coronation day, and he had been Emperor Yu for a year, although he had done nothing.
"She should be pretty happy that I'm here."
Wu Yu was waiting for her to open the doors for him.
However, he couldn't see any movement despite waiting for some time.
He recalled Di Shatian saying that he would face obstructions in the territory of others. That was exactly the case now.
The fact that Luo Pin had not appeared was a testament to this point. She was definitely being hindered by others.
Just as the thought arose, Wu Yu could hear someone saying, "The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas does not welcome any guests. Please leave. Our Dragon Lord has no wish to see you."
This was the voice of an old man. If Wu Yu was right, this old man was probably the Maple-Leaf Zephyr Dragon.
Wu Yu smiled and didn't say a further word.
Wu Yu knew Luo Pin would face pressure. However, they shared a common view, and these distractions were nothing to them.
There was nothing that could stop them.
Therefore, he waited patiently.
It didn't take long before the seawater below him was dyed in different colors. It was beautiful, and through the seawater, Wu Yu could see a vast and majestic world in it.
Wu Yu entered swiftly. Just as he had thought, he hadn't reached the bottom of the sea but felt like he had entered a new world. Obviously, what was stopping him were the true spirit designs of the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas. The dense, colorful clouds had masked the world before Wu Yu's eyes.
