Chapter 833 -828: The Seventh Tombstone
Seeing Old Lady Fan’s annoyed appearance, Bai Qi’s lips twitched. If he wasn’t worried about being beaten by her, Bai Qi would have probably already laughed out loud by now.
“Aren’t all these documents being handled by Xiao Chuanqi? Old Lady Fan, why don’t you let him help out?”
Bai Qi asked somewhat puzzled.
“Haven’t you noticed that there’s no sign of humans inside the Crystal Palace anymore?”
Old Lady Fan yawned and said, “Ever since the world upgraded, those old fogeys have had other ideas, and the kid Xiao Mu has been very tactful in transferring all the humans away.”
“I see, no wonder they had you come here to keep watch.”
Bai Qi suddenly realized. The Deep Sea Alliance had always operated on a model that was half coercion and half cooperation. Now that the world had undergone an upgrade, given the terrifying number of demi-gods in the sea territories, they might very well surpass the Federation and become the strongest force in the world one day.
However, it seemed that Huangfu Chuanqi had not mentioned the sea territories having any mythical occurrences; could it be that the sea territories are hiding something?

Bai Qi summoned Schuck, handling the documents for the old lady while voicing his doubts.
“It’s not that it’s hidden, there really aren’t any.”
A trace of sadness flashed through Old Lady Fan’s eyes as she said, “The sea territories have long since lost their soul, for creatures of the sea to ascend to myth is exceedingly difficult…”
“Lost their soul… the Soul of the Dragon God?”
Bai Qi was jolted awake like from a dream, preoccupied with understanding the current situation, he had almost forgotten there was a matter awaiting his confirmation at the Dragon Emperor’s Tomb.
The seventh stele containing the souls of the Dragon Emperor and the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
“Old Lady Fan, is it still possible to enter the Dragon Emperor’s Tomb?”
Old Lady Fan paused upon hearing this and said, “That place has been taken over by a bunch of old fogeys. However, if you want to go, I can take you there.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Bai Qi gave a slight nod of agreement. He was currently unclear about the relationship between the sea territories and the Alliance, so it would be better to cause as little trouble as possible.
Under Old Lady Fan’s guidance, Bai Qi quickly arrived at the entrance to the Dragon Emperor Tomb, which was heavily guarded just as she’d described.
“It’s the Chairwoman!”
Upon Old Lady Fan’s approach, all the sea beasts knelt down and respectfully saluted her.
Regardless of their opinions on humans, for Old Lady Fan, a pure Mythical Divine Dragon, they held considerable respect.
“There’s nothing for you here, clear out.”
Old Lady Fan waved her hand, signaling the guards to make way, but upon seeing Bai Qi, a human, they still blocked their path.
“Apologies, Chairwoman, but several council members are currently in seclusion inside, and no one is allowed near. Please, don’t make it difficult for us.”
As Old Lady Fan’s expression turned increasingly sour, the guard swallowed hard, yet still did not move aside.
“Hm?”
Old Lady Fan’s brow furrowed, and the space around them twisted instantly. Outside the Crystal Palace, the sea roared, and a submarine storm erupted.
Bai Qi stroked his chin, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
They dared to be so arrogant without even having a myth amongst them; could it be that they’ve found something to rely on?
“I’ve tolerated you lot for a long time. Since it’s come to this, don’t blame me for not being sentimental.”
Being obstructed by some underlings like this was causing Old Lady Fan to lose face. With a wave of her hand, the guards were sent flying out.
“When given a chance, you don’t take it. If you push me too far, I’ll dismantle this whole ruin!”
Old Lady Fan’s pent-up grievances seemed to explode as she cursed and marched towards the entrance. Upon seeing the seal that prevented outsiders from entering, she directly kicked it.
In an instant, the seal shattered, and the entrance to the Dragon Emperor Tomb was broken open, revealing the scene within clearly to them.
“Old Lady Fan is so domineering!”
Witnessing Old Lady Fan’s straightforward action, Bai Qi sincerely admired her, and gave her a thumbs up.
“Come on, let’s see what these fellows are up to.”
Old Lady Fan strode into the secret realm, with Bai Qi following closely behind, the very picture of an obedient little brother.
That was no joke; she was already so violent as a child, and now, having ascended to a Mythical Creature, no one could stop her. Why not be well-behaved, unless he was looking to be beaten?
Stepping through the entrance, Bai Qi entered the Dragon Emperor Tomb.
Contrary to the desolation he saw before, the Dragon Emperor Tomb now had a bit more vitality. The sky shimmered with golden lights, and he could faintly see several Divine Dragons of varying colors weaving through them.
“Could it be that with the world’s upgrade, the Dragon Emperor’s pets are also about to be resurrected?”
Bai Qi’s eyes sparkled. The steles were all condensed with the help of the Soul of the Dragon God, so it stood to reason there might be a chance for resurrection.
“Who’s there, daring to trespass into the Deep Sea Alliance’s forbidden territory!”
At that moment, thirteen figures rushed towards them at high speed, their faint dragon might echoing with the divine dragon’s shadow in the sky, pouncing towards Bai Qi and his companions.
“Even dare to attack me, Old Lady Fan, are you seeking death?”
Seeing this, Old Lady Fan’s delicate eyebrows slightly knitted, and a gigantic dragon claw appeared out of nowhere, smashing those thirteen figures directly to the ground.
“This is… Old Lady Fan? We’re sorry, we’re sorry, we didn’t know it was you…”
Realizing their blunder, the Thirteen Protectors immediately begged for mercy from Old Lady Fan, pitiful in their plea, but upon catching sight of Bai Qi beside the torn-apart Fan, they froze.
“Is that, Big Brother? You’re not dead?!”
“My being alive disappoints you, does it?”
Bai Qi walked up to Ming Dian and asked, “So the Deep Sea Alliance intends to break with the Federation? You’re even going to deny me entry?”
Hearing Bai Qi’s questioning, Ming Dian showed a trace of embarrassment and said, “Big Brother, this isn’t what I want, it’s what the Five Old Men…”
As he spoke, Ming Dian glanced towards the direction of the stele, not daring to continue.
Bai Qi looked up and saw the radiance twinkling around the stele, where several massive sea beasts were circling in the air.
And with each circle, their bodies became more slender, constantly moving closer to the body of the divine dragon.
“They’re planning to use the Dragon Emperor’s Relic to completely transform into divine dragons? No wonder they’re not all ascending to demigods.”
Bai Qi saw the situation clearly; the difference between ascending to demigod as a divine dragon versus as a sea beast was self-evident. However, according to Old Lady Fan, these individuals likely wouldn’t be able to ascend after actually transforming into the body of a divine dragon.
“Old Lady Fan, could you cover for me later? I’d like to go and… chat with them?”
“Mhm, go ahead, and if they dare to make a move, I’ll just tear this place down while I’m at it, save us the eyesore.”
Old Lady Fan nodded, full of eager anticipation, while Bai Qi summoned Delta and headed towards the stele’s defense line.
The ancient aura of the dragon Delta immediately drew the attention of the Five Old Men and several other demigods, who ceased their cultivation and looked towards Delta, their eyes unconsciously flashing with envy and greed.
Such a pure bloodline of divine dragon was something they could never have, even if they successfully transformed.
“Greetings to the demigod seniors, it’s been a long time.”
Bai Qi walked up to the demigods with a grin, glanced at the five steles sparkling with multicolored light, and continued, “From the looks of it, you may be using the Dragon Emperor’s legacy to purify your bloodlines?”
“Bai Qi, this is not a place for you, go back to your Federation.”
The Five Old Men were straightforward, issuing him a direct order to leave.
“Not a place for me? Seems to me this is the Dragon Emperor Tomb of our human Dragon Emperor, right?”
Bai Qi spread his mouth, revealing a set of white teeth, and Delta also roared, spreading a powerful dragon aura that suppressed the Five Old Men.
Though Delta hadn’t yet ascended to a demigod, he had already touched upon the origin of space, with a bloodline approaching that of the first generation of the Dragon Race. In terms of aura alone, he was at least not lower than the Five Old Men.
“How can mere legends suppress us!”
The Five Old Men looked at each other, clearly struggling to accept the situation.
“Mere legends? Without having ascended to demigod, your so-called half-gods are just at the peak of legends, nothing to boast about.”
A hint of disdain appeared on Bai Qi’s face. Originally, ‘demi-god’ was just a special term for legendary creatures that had mastered rule skills, but these old sea creatures seemed to have truly seen it as an insurmountable realm.
Just mastering some rule skills, what’s there to be smug about? He had stopped caring about that long ago.
Perhaps because of the rich divine dragon’s aura in this place, once Delta released his power, he felt like a fish in water, his aura climbing continuously, and he even saw further improvement.
At the same time, the Candle Dragon stele, which the Five Old Men had struggled with for a long time without effect, also lit up. A huge phantom of the Candle Dragon burst from the stele, exchanged a glance with Delta, and then merged into the sky.
Within the golden sky, six divine dragon phantoms swam back and forth, the dragon aura within the ruin growing increasingly intense. All the sea beasts present felt their bloodlines stir within them.
“No wonder this bunch of old sea creatures won’t let outsiders in. Just by staying here, a pig could probably evolve into a divine dragon.”
Seeing this, Bai Qi understood; considering the foresight of the Dragon Emperor, the design of this tomb was likely long prepared, with the purpose, naturally, to help future generations purify the divine dragon bloodline.
Yet even such a brilliantly gifted individual could not escape fate’s control in the end.
Hum~
It was at this moment that a loud dragon chant suddenly sounded within the Dragon Emperor Tomb, causing all creatures—whether or not they possessed the divine dragon bloodline—to involuntarily kneel.
The only two who did not kneel were Old Lady Fan and Delta.
“This presence, is it that old codger?”
Old Lady Fan raised her eyebrows in surprise, while Bai Qi’s mouth fell open in shock, looking towards the sky.
Behind the glow of the dawn, a golden stele slowly appeared, with the resounding chant of the dragon coming from it, getting louder and nearer, as if a divine dragon was rapidly approaching.
At last, the golden stele separated from the dawn light and fell heavily to the ground. Then a five-clawed golden dragon burst out from it, circling in the air for a while before looking down upon Bai Qi below, who looked up with joy on his face.
The appearance of the seventh stele was as expected!
