Chapter 274 - Leaping over the Dragon Gate

Chapter 274 Leaping over the Dragon Gate

‘Where did this old thing come from?’

Zhou Feng looked at the person who resembled the Turtle Prime Minister and was a little surprised.

He hadn’t noticed how he had gotten close just now.

Under normal circumstances, no one nearby could escape Zhou Feng’s perception.

However, the Turtle Prime Minister seemed to have been lurking around for a long time before he suddenly jumped out.

“Chieftain, you are finally back! Our Aquamarine Turtle Tribe is too miserable!” Gui Jiusan said as he activated the bloodline in his body.

This bloodline aura was actually similar to the demonic sea turtle that Zhou Feng had simulated.

No! It could even be said that it was exactly the same.

‘Is it because of the bloodline?’

“Who is your Chieftain? I don’t even know you!”

Zhou Feng was cautious and did not trust Gui Jiusan.

Instead, he used his aura to lock onto Gui Jiusan.

Gui Jiusan immediately felt a terrifying pressure.

“Ancestor, don’t joke around!”

Sensing Zhou Feng’s vigilance, Gui Jiusan tried to activate his bloodline aura again.

However, Zhou Feng did not react at all.

This made Gui Jiusan feel helpless.

“That’s not right! Why is this happening?’

Under normal circumstances, the ancestor should have quickly accepted him after sensing the bloodline aura.

As long as aquatic creatures shared the same bloodline, both sides would let down their guard. This was the tacit understanding between the parties of the same race.

The bloodline aura was something that couldn’t be faked, and what Zhou Feng was displaying right now was the aura of an Aquamarine Turtle General.

To Gui Jiusan, Zhou Feng was his ancestor.

Unlike humans, most of the other races were basically separated by bloodline.

Strength was separated by seniority.

Simply put, as long as they had the same bloodline, they would immediately have the trust of the folks of their own race.

Then, the stronger ones would be the ancestors and the elders.

Under normal circumstances, the stronger one was, the older one should be.

The aquatic creatures were the same as the demi-humans. Normally, they didn’t need to cultivate; they just needed time.

Their cultivation would slowly rise, and they would reach the limit of their bloodlines.

This was completely different from the complicated relationship of the human race. Gui Jiusan kept stimulating his bloodline as if he was hinting at something. Zhou Feng frowned slightly. “What’s the matter?”

From his perception, Gui Jiusan didn’t seem to have any malicious intent. Instead, he had an inexplicable trust in him.

He had never encountered this situation before, so he could only see what was going on first.

“Chieftain! Isn’t it almost time to jump through the dragon gate? So…”

Seeing that Zhou Feng’s attitude had eased up, Gui Jiusan recounted to Zhou Feng everything that had happened to the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe recently.

It turned out that there was a once-in-a-dozen-years grand event in the Southern Sea.

It was called the Dragon Gate Festival.

All the aquatic tribes in the Southern Sea could participate in this festival during this period.

All the aquatic tribes had the chance to jump through the dragon gate like a carp, stimulate the true dragon bloodline in their bodies, and then ascend to the sky in one step.

They could enter the Dragon Palace and enjoy the Dragon Palace’s offerings.

‘Jump through the dragon gate? There’s actually such a grand event?’

Zhou Feng had never heard of this so-called Dragon Gate Festival.

He didn’t expect that there would be such a grand event in the sea.

“What’s the exact situation of this Dragon Gate Festival?”

He was very interested in this so-called Dragon Gate Festival.

Was it true or false that it could stimulate the so-called true dragon bloodline? And would the people of the Dragon Palace be so generous?

Such an event was held every few decades, helping the many aquatic tribes to stimulate their bloodlines for free?

According to normal logic, the Dragon Palace should have kept such a treasure tightly hidden.

They would only use it for the Dragon Palace without letting others know.

This was the usual thinking of most elite organizations in this world.

“I was wondering why you were so vigilant! So you came to the Southern Sea from another place!”

Gui Jiusan instantly understood what was going on upon hearing Zhou Feng’s question.

For the Southern Sea’s aquatic tribes, the Dragon Gate Festival was a first-class event.

Basically, all local aquatic tribes and creatures knew about this event.

Since Zhou Feng didn’t know about it, Gui Jiusan assumed it was definitely because he had just arrived in the Southern Sea from another place.

That was why he was so vigilant.

Zhou Feng noticed that Gui Jiusan was deep in thought, but he didn’t say anything.

It was not bad to have such a local expert explain the ins and outs to him. In any case, he was blind at the moment. He didn’t know what was going on at all.

“Ancestor, why don’t we talk while walking? Otherwise, the experts of the Ghost Shark Tribe will come!”

Gui Jiusan first sought Zhou Feng’s opinion.

Zhou Feng had just killed a Ghost Shark clan, so it was not appropriate to stay here.

The Ghost Shark experts were definitely rushing there.

“Okay.” Zhou Feng agreed unhesitantly.

After all, given his circumstances, it was not realistic to swim directly to the Dragon Palace.

He might as well find out what exactly was going on first.

With the passive Bloodline Simulation and Underwater Breathing, Zhou Feng felt that he could pretend to be the ancestor of the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe for the time being.

As Gui Jiusan spoke as they walked, Zhou Feng got a basic understanding of the Dragon Gate Festival.

It turned out that there was really a dragon gate in the Dragon Palace.

It seemed to be a natural dao artifact that had been in the Southern Sea for who knew how many years.

As long as one had a trace of dragon bloodline in their body, they could purify their bloodline through this dragon gate. And because of the nature of the dragons, the current aquatic creatures more or less all had a trace of true dragon bloodline in their bodies. It was just that the true dragon bloodline was so thin that it was hardly noteworthy.

Therefore, in theory, almost all the Southern Sea aquatic creatures that had awakened the true dragon bloodline were eligible to take a leap through the dragon gate.

It was rumored that the current Southern Sea Dragon Sovereign was once a sea snake.

It was because he had leaped over the dragon gate and stimulated the true dragon bloodline in his body that a dragon horn had grown on his head. In the end, he became the current Southern Sea Dragon Sovereign.

It was precisely this story that inspired all the aquatic creatures in the Southern Sea. They were all fantasizing that they could cross the dragon gate and transform into a true dragon.

The more Zhou Feng listened to Gui Jiusan’s description, the more he felt that something was wrong.

It wasn’t that his heart was dark, but that the story was too simple.

Was it that easy to awaken the true dragon bloodline?

And even if one awakened the thin true dragon bloodline in their body, they could transform into a true dragon?

Compared to this kind of ascending-to-the-heavens-in-one-step scenario, Zhou Feng preferred to cultivate step by step slowly.

Nonetheless, this so-called Dragon Gate Festival might be his chance.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Zhou Feng to get close to the Dragon Palace.

But now, he could get close to the Dragon Palace by participating in the Dragon Gate Festival.

Then, he would look for the Human Emperor’s land of heritage and see if he could find some things. They reached the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe’s current territory as Zhou Feng pondered.
