Chapter 467 Stone Jar and Bamboo Slips, I am Off to Subdue the Dragon_2
Ever since acquiring the Prime Tortoise Carapace artifact, Xu Yan's perspective had elevated dramatically, making ordinary treasures unworthy of his attention.
Moreover, having enhanced his strength to this level, ordinary treasures were no longer effective for him.
"Eh, what's this?"
Suddenly, Xu Yan discovered among the ancient items one particular object—a bamboo slip. However, the bamboo used for this slip was far from ordinary and seemed to bear some resemblance to the Yu Zhu in his possession.
It appeared to be of the same type, the only difference being that the bamboo used in this bamboo slip was of a much higher quality than that of the Yu Zhu he held in his hand.
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe recalled and said, "This bamboo slip, according to fragments left by powerful figures of our clan in the past, is inscribed with various bizarre stories or some hidden knowledge, but it is never mentioned to contain any Cultivation Technique or secret technique."
Xu Yan picked up the bamboo slip, and using the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, he saw a hazy aura obstructing the content of the slip. However, he could still vaguely discern some of the characters written on it.
"The person who wrote this bamboo slip must have been extremely powerful. Even with my current strength and the Eye of the Minor Heavenly Path, I cannot fully comprehend its content," Xu Yan couldn't help feeling amazed.
"This bamboo slip seems to possess a force that shields it. After our tribe's Supreme Expert perished, no one has been able to see its contents again.
"Furthermore, this bamboo slip itself is a Supreme Treasure. The rumors say it is crafted from a segment of an extraordinaryYu Zhu, and it is said that the hollows within this Yu Zhu are as vast as the Domain itself."
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe continued to elaborate.
Xu Yan nodded, almost certain that the bamboo used for the slip and the Yu Zhu he carried were of the same kind.
"It would be perfect as a gift for my master. The bizarre stories contained within will provide him with entertainment to pass the time," Xu Yan thought to himself, and he kept the bamboo slip.
"All right, I will take these three items then," Xu Yan said with a smile after pocketing the bamboo slip.
"Friend Xu, won't you take a look at the others?"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe was taken aback.
He had been prepared for Xu Yan to sweep away all the ancient items.
"No need!"
Xu Yan turned and walked away.
"Today, for taking three ancient objects from your Sea Spirit Tribe, I will aid your tribe up to three times within my capabilities in the future!" Xu Yan declared solemnly.
"Many thanks, Young Master Xu!"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe conspicuously bowed his thanks.
"It's all right, your Sea Spirit Tribe still has strong backing," Xu Yan said with a smile.
Cai Ling'er originated from the Sea Spirit Tribe and possessed the Sea Spirit Emperor's Bloodline. Currently following his master, if the Sea Spirit Tribe faced difficulties, how could she ignore it?
As a maid to his master, anyone wishing to target her would have to consider whether they could withstand a slap from his master.
"Yes, indeed!"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe was overjoyed, believing that Xu Yan himself was the backing he referred to.
On leaving the Sea Spirit Palace, the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe personally escorted Xu Yan back to Yuntian Island.
At that moment, Yuntian Island was already in turmoil.
News of the True Dragon calamity had reached Yuntian Island.
Xie Lingfeng looked at his father in shock. "Father, a True Dragon, there's actually a True Dragon!"
"The legendary True Dragon has appeared in the Divine Realm, and it's not good news for the Azure Sea Sphere!" Xie Tianheng exclaimed with a sigh.
In the Divine Realm ocean, only the Azure Sea Sphere remains where the True Dragon will eventually descend and rule the Azure Sea.
Furthermore, the rampaging True Dragon seemed to have lost its sanity, becoming extremely violent and slaughtering Martial Artists above the Immortal Heavenly Venerable level everywhere it went.
And because of this disturbance, numerous Martial Artists below the Truth Refinement Realm also suffered countless deaths and injuries!
The strength of the True Dragon was destined to sweep across the Divine Realm.
"Brother Xu is about to leave the Azure Sea Sphere," Xie Lingfeng said with a sigh.
"Why?"
Xie Tianheng was startled, then suddenly realized, "Right, with Xu Yan's extraordinary talent, how could he not witness the True Dragon? After all, it is a being of legend."
Then, wearing a regretful expression, he said, "If only I were not so weak, I would have rushed to witness it myself, for it is a True Dragon after all!"
However, Xie Lingfeng just shook his head with a bitter smile, "Brother Xu isn't going to be just an onlooker."

He knew that Xu Yan possessed the Subduing Dragon Palm, a technique named for its purpose—to subdue dragons. Now that a True Dragon had appeared and was causing chaos everywhere, how could Xu Yan refrain from taking action?
Hearing this, Xie Tianheng nodded and said, "Indeed, with Xu Yan's strength, he surely wants to spar with the True Dragon, and even if he can't match it, with the help of his senior's Jade Talisman, he won't be in danger."
Xie Lingfeng chuckled, knowing that Xu Yan wasn't just going to spar; he was going to subdue the dragon!
With the True Dragon's emergence, Yuntian Island was abuzz, and many showed worried expressions. It was inevitable that one day the True Dragon would descend upon the Azure Sea Sphere.
The strong members of the Sea Spirit Tribe also wore solemn expressions on their faces.
Once, they were the True Spirits of the True Dragon lineage, responsible for patrolling the vast seas. However, as time changed and circumstances shifted, the Sea Spirit Tribe had weakened, far from the glory of their past.
Moreover, they are now the overlords of the Azure Sea and certainly don't want a new master to suddenly appear, relegating them to mere attendants.
Besides, this True Dragon had lost its sense and become wild and violent.
"This matter is not something we can resolve. We can only hope that those in the Taihe Realm will have a strategy to deal with it," said the Yuntian Island Master in a deep voice.
"The only strategy, I'm afraid, is to open the Heavenly Ladder," the Second Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe worriedly said.
Once the Heavenly Ladder is opened, will those who once coveted the treasures of the Sea Spirit Tribe seize the opportunity to descend upon the Divine Realm?
The Yuntian Island Master fell silent. The opening of the Dao Domain Ladder might be a good thing for Great Realm powers with significant backing. For those without, it's not necessarily so.
In fact, they may not even have the chance to ascend the Ladder and break through the barriers of their cultivation.
There are many restrictions and secrets involved.
Xu Yan and the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe returned to Yuntian Island, and upon hearing about the issue with the True Dragon, the Great Elder's countenance turned extremely grave, and he hastily headed to the great hall of Yuntian Island.
"Brother Xie, I've come to say goodbye," Xu Yan said with a smile upon returning to Xie Lingfeng's residence.
"I had anticipated as much," Xie Lingfeng smiled back.
"When we meet again, I will surely have reached the Void-breaking Realm!" Xie Lingfeng confidently declared.
"With your talent, Brother Xie, breaking into the Void-breaking won't take too long," Xu Yan nodded his head. Xie Lingfeng's talent was not lacking, and with his guidance, Xie Lingfeng had already understood the key to breaking into the Void-breaking Realm.
With the additional pills Xu Yan had left behind, Xie Lingfeng's cultivation speed would undoubtedly not be slow. Furthermore, because of his connection, he would be able to obtain even more resources for cultivation on Yuntian Island.
"Do you have confidence, Brother Xu?" Xie Lingfeng asked gravely.
Subduing a Dragon!
Throughout history, such a feat had not been heard of, and Xu Yan was probably the first.
Of course, the more ancient times were beyond investigation, but at least in recorded history, there had been no tales of subduing a dragon.
"Based on the information we have, this is a young dragon, not too powerful. Even though it easily crushed the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, my Subduing Dragon Palm is, after all, meant for subduing dragons. I should have some assurance," Xu Yan pondered and then said.
Xie Tianheng and Fu Yun standing nearby were stunned.
Xu Yan, going to subdue a dragon?
"Then I will wait on Yuntian Island for the news of Brother Xu subduing the dragon!" Xie Lingfeng said solemnly.
"Good!" Xu Yan nodded with a smile.
Following that, Xu Yan went to bid farewell to the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe and the Yuntian Island Master.
"Friend Xu, are you leaving the Azure Sea Sphere already?" the Yuntian Island Master and the others said reluctantly.
With Xu Yan present, the entire Azure Sea Sphere felt like it had a backbone. Now that Xu Yan was leaving, they suddenly felt uneasy.
"I have urgent matters to attend to; for now, I bid farewell," Xu Yan nodded and said.
"If there is anything Friend Xu requires, we on Yuntian Island are willing to offer our modest assistance to repay the favor you bestowed upon us," the Yuntian Island Master said sincerely.
"This matter is not something you can assist with," Xu Yan replied.
"Even though we are aware of our modest strength, we still count among the strong in the Divine Realm. There must be something within our reach that we can do for Friend Xu; please don't hesitate to ask!"
"Your kindness is well received, but truly, this matter is not something you can assist with. Even though the Immortal Heavenly Venerable may seem insignificant in my eyes, in the Divine Realm, he cannot be underestimated. So many Immortal Heavenly Venerables like us, even facing a Great Realm, could not be taken lightly.
"There are so few in the Divine Realm as strong as Friend Xu, ultimately just two or three people. How could we not be of help? You need not be polite. After all, we can give our utmost effort to assist Friend Xu. Even if we can only cheer on the sidelines, it would boost your momentum!" the Yuntian Island Master said gravely.
The other strong members of the Azure Sea Sphere nodded in agreement, expressing that even if they could only cheer from the sidelines, so many Immortal Heavenly Venerables could still boost Xu Yan's momentum!
Xu Yan said with a bow, "Your good intentions are appreciated, but I am on a quest to subdue the dragon!"
