After communicating with Cangyu, Fang Yu continued to sit on the high seat in the main hall, closing his eyes to cultivate.
He decided to stay put and wait until tomorrow, when the Emperor and Empress would come to open the gate leading to that ancient city for him.
For this ancient city, Fang Yu was still very much looking forward to it.
Time flies.
I don’t know how many hours have passed, but suddenly footsteps came from outside.
Two guards entered the main hall and knelt down, saying: “Your Highness, since you did not go to choose the fish demons today, we have sent all of them to your private chamber. They are waiting for your grace there…”
These guards took such pleasure in this matter, obviously due to the style of Prince Rongdao before them.
Having seen the appearance of those fish demons, to still be so enthusiastic about this matter, Prince Rongdao is also a brave man.
“I don’t need any fish demons recently, let them go.” Fang Yu waved his hand and said.
Two guards looked up, their faces meeting in a stare of disbelief.
In their eyes, Prince Rongdao was inseparable from this kind of thing.
But now, the prince is actually saying that he doesn’t need a mermaid?
It’s like a dream.
However, the two guards did not dare to say much. They responded with a grunt and then got up and left the main hall.
Fang Yu sat on the high seat, watching these guards leave, his heart moved slightly.
The proliferation of the Divine Sea Dynasty, does it rely on these humanoid fish demons?
After all, up to this point he had only seen princes within the royal family. Aside from the empress’s phantom, he hadn’t met any women yet.
“Relying on reproduction with fish demons, how do they maintain the physique of their royal family? They don’t look much different from humans…” Fang Yu furrowed his brow, falling into thought.
“Among all the races, the main bloodline is the most important.” Li Huoyu’s voice rang out.
“What do you say?” Fang Yu asked.
“It’s all about the strength of the bloodline. After a union between two beings, their offspring will inherit the parents’ bloodline and their race and form will be determined by its strength,” Li Huo Yu explained. “For instance, if the male is a dragon with a powerful bloodline, then no matter what kind of creature the female is, their offspring will inevitably be a dragon.”
“That’s exactly why powerful bloodlines tend to grow stronger over time, just like the dragon clan of old.”
“So you’re saying that back then, there were a significant number of dragons who didn’t breed with female dragons? They mated with other races instead?” Fang Yu asked in surprise.
“Yes, this is completely different from your human race,” Li Huoyu said.
“If Shenlong and Fenghuang were to combine and give birth to an offspring… would it be a dragon or a phoenix?” Fang Yu asked curiously.
“That’s a bit hard to say. Personally, I think the dragon lineage would be stronger, but two divine beasts combined… really, who knows what kind of offspring they’d produce?” Li Huo Yu said.
“The master is now quite like the combination of the Divine Dragon and the Divine Phoenix, a dragon-phoenix body, extremely honorable…” Jihan’s Tear suddenly spoke.
“Oh, you’re flattering him the wrong way, aren’t you? How did you manage to diminish his status even further?” Li Huoyu said with a cold smile.
“Pay attention to your words,” said Extreme Tears coldly.
Just when Fang Yu thought Li Huoyu would retort again, Li Huoyu suddenly fell silent, as if truly realizing she had spoken wrongly.
For the bickering between these two spirit artifacts, Fang Yu had already grown accustomed to it and ignored it.
As for the fire jade, it made him understand the situation of the Shenhai Dynasty.
It is through the Emperor’s powerful bloodline that he unites with females of other races, thereby procreating numerous princes… And from among them, the strongest is chosen to inherit the throne.
That is to say, these princes’ physical characteristics are all integrated with the bloodline of the great emperor… It seems that this great emperor is the key. I must find an opportunity to meet him. Fang Yu thought.
……
Time flies.
When Fang Yu opened his eyes again, it was because a surge of light had once more filled the main hall.
“Finally here.”
Fang Yu stood up, stretched lazily, and then said as respectfully as possible: “Good morning, Your Majesty!”
“If the Empress and Emperor have matters to attend to, they need not come. I am the Grand Celestial Master, I shall open a passage for you to the ancient city.”
A creaking voice emerged from the light.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had heard this name from Cangyu’s mouth.
Through his spiritual sense, he could barely see a strange, gray shadow.
This is the Great Heavenly Master, huh?
The appearance… it’s like a four-不像!
“Your Highness, are you ready?” asked the Grand Celestial Master.
“Ready to go anytime.” Fang Yu replied.
“Alright, then… I shall open the channel for you.” The voice of Grand Celestial Master D Chong Tian rang out once more.
“Boom!”
Within the main hall, a powerful spatial force suddenly emanated.
A halo of azure light slowly expanded, appearing at the center of the main hall.
“Your Highness, enter it and you will reach the ancient city,” said Taichongtian Master.
Fang Yu didn’t say much, he walked down from the high platform directly and came before the halo.
This is a portal.
Whoosh!
A few seconds later, Fang Yu’s entire body sank into it and vanished.
But the portal did not vanish.
As Fangyu entered, a strange gray shadow appeared and quickly flashed into the portal.
……
This space tunnel is quite long.
Fang Yu hadn’t reached the crucial point yet, but he sensed something amiss behind him.
Since he fused with the Great Dao Spirit, his mastery of spatial laws has reached an extremely high level.
Even within the swiftly fading space tunnel, he could keenly sense the subtle shifts in the laws.
“There are others, who have entered this spatial tunnel… It seems the Emperor and Empress have sent more than just me, their ‘prince’.” Fang Yu thought to himself, his eyes flickering.
But he didn’t mind it too much.
He entered the ancient city for the Holy Fruit, as for anything else in his way, he would just crush it.
After almost two minutes of traveling through the space tunnel, they finally reached the exit.
“Poof!”
Fang Yu stood firmly on the ground.
Before him stood a gigantic city.
Ahead stands a city wall over a hundred meters high, but it is dilapidated.
Compared to the last time I visited the Dragon Clan Ruins, the scene before me looked more like a real city.
But in terms of scale and appearance, there are some similarities between the two.
But it was merely a ruined city.
The city walls had collapsed in many places, the gates were wide open, and one could see at a glance the scene inside.
The ground was open and overgrown with weeds, with a lot of ruins visible.
“This is a ruined ancient city… Where are the sacred fruits?” Fang Yu looked at the scene before him, his brow furrowed.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky, which was growing rather dim.
“Forget it, let’s go in for a spin and see what there is.” Fang Yu said, then he was about to move forward.
Just then.
Suddenly, a presence appeared behind them.
This aura was incredibly faint, appearing for a fleeting moment before vanishing instantly. It was clearly being deliberately concealed.
This must be the existence that entered the space tunnel after Fang Yu!
“This aura… Could it be the Great Celestial Master?” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly, then he thought of something and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
He naturally wouldn’t think that this powerful celestial master was here to protect him.
On the contrary, the Grand Celestial Master who followed… must have ulterior motives!
“It seems… even with the ghosts of this ancient city, the Emperor and Empress still don’t think it’s safe enough. Since you’re going to make your move sooner or later, then… I’ll take care of you right now.” Fang Yu turned around, his eyes flashed, and a golden cross sword appeared in his hand!
