Chapter 529 - 339: Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon City, the Miraculous Efficacy of the Xuan Celestial Immortal Fruit
Chapter 529: Chapter 339: Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon City, the Miraculous Efficacy of the Xuan Celestial Immortal Fruit
A year later refers to a year in reality, but Su Yu soon changed his mind and planned to wait two more years before deciding.
He adjusted the time flow on the Celestial Immortal Vine, reducing it by half.
The other half of the Spiritual Power from the Dinghai Realm was transferred to the nearby Peach Tree.
Similarly, Time Crystals were merged into this Spirit Root of the Peach Tree, causing it to blossom and bear fruit quickly.
Eight Time Crystals remain, reserved for future use.
This thing is too precious; other Spiritual Medicine is not worth using for now.
Moreover, for Su Yu, who has mastered the Law of Time, this treasure is a top means to enhance combat power, as all his Divine Techniques that apply the Law of Time can be boosted by the Time Crystals, increasing their power tenfold or more.
The Law of Time he now masters is already stronger than that of a typical Celestial Immortal, and when combined with Time Crystals to activate his Divine Techniques, even a True Immortal would fall victim.
Coming out from the Dinghai Realm, Su Yu pinched his chin and fell into contemplation.
"It seems Beiming Dragon City is a dead end."
With two of the three Dragon Princes opposing, and more than half of the Dragon Sons and Grandsons against, he doubts the Dragon King would remain unaffected.
"If not, then not; it was extra anyway, not essential."
Su Yu has a clear direction for his future plans. He is well aware of his progress each year and has already planned out how many years it will take to enhance his cultivation. As long as he proceeds step by step, both True Immortal and Profound Immortal levels are within reach.
"For now, let’s return to Dragon Castle."
Deep within Dragon Castle, within Grotto Heaven, the immense Azure Dragon King hovered above, surrounded by dozens of true dragons of varying sizes coiled around the area. Loud voices echoed within Grotto Heaven:
"Beiming Dragon City is the legacy of the Sixth Prince; it can’t be handed over to outsiders, I disagree."
"Although Ao Run is a descendant of the Sixth Prince, his strength and bloodline are both mediocre and unfit to command Beiming Dragon City."
"Although Su Yu has potential, he is not a pure Dragon Race; his true form is of the Human Race, how can he lead our family?"
All the Dragon Sons and Grandsons provided their reasons, almost all disagreeing with the petition submitted by Ao Qing. Some impatient Dragon Sons openly revealed their ambitions:
"Father King, Beiming Dragon City is the core of the North Sea, the vital force against the Sea Snake Race’s encroachment. These years, without a strong Dragon Son stationed, our territory in the North Sea has been continuously encroached upon; if this continues, the North Sea will be hard to protect. I suggest choosing a strong clan member to command."
Another Dragon Son immediately added:
"That suggestion is sound; after all, Beiming Dragon City has indeed been declining over the years—indeed, a strong Dragon Son is needed to take charge."
A golden dragon stepped forward and said loudly:
"Father King, your son is willing to go."
With someone stepping up, several Dragon Sons quickly recommended themselves, and in a short time, a dozen or so Dragon Sons and Grandsons volunteered one after another, turning Grotto Heaven into a noisy market.
Ao Ying was also among them, but he did not speak; he merely watched as his brothers argued fervently for control over Beiming Dragon City.
It wasn’t that he looked down on Beiming Dragon City, but being as clever as he was, he knew that Father King would not agree to let others become the lord of Beiming Dragon City, nor split it, for that would undermine the rules and order jointly established by the Dragon Kings of the four major continents and the Dragon Palace of All Immortal Realms.
Rules and order were the foundation of the Dragon Palace’s existence, and Father King would absolutely not destroy them.
Moreover, if Father King had wanted to do this, he would have split Beiming Dragon City as soon as the Sixth Prince fell; it was impossible to wait until now.
So, as his brothers argued, he comfortably stayed in the back, watching the spectacle.
After four or five minutes of noise, the Dragon King suddenly extended a Dragon Finger, lightly tapping the void, and ripples spread across space. All sounds ceased, and shortly after, the Dragon King’s booming voice echoed:
"Ao Qing, as the First Commander of Beiming Dragon City, do you have anything to say about the suggestions of the Dragon Sons?"
Ao Qing flew out, positioning himself at the center of the dragons, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty the Dragon King, Three Princes, and Dragon Sons and Grandsons, I only have two sentences to say."
"Speak!"
"First, all of you will have moments of weakness."
"Second, breaking rules is easy, but reconstructing them is difficult; only with rules can there be long-lasting peace and stability."
After speaking these brief words, Ao Qing stepped aside and remained silent.
Grotto Heaven fell into silence, and the previously fiercely arguing Dragon Sons and Three Princes also fell silent.
After a full minute of silence, the Dragon King’s voice rang out:
"I, the King, decree the approval of Beiming Dragon City’s petition. Dragon Maiden Ao Run will succeed as City Lord of Beiming Dragon City, and True Dragon Su Yu will assume the position of Grand Commander."
The Dragon Sons and Grandsons remained silent. The few Dragon Sons who argued most fiercely earlier were now speechless.
It wasn’t that they were actually deterred by Ao Qing’s simple two sentences; rather, they had understood the Dragon King’s attitude.
In fact, the Dragon King’s attitude was firm from the beginning, but he wanted Su Yu to come, making them think his stance was wavering, so they continued probing.
Now, those Dragon Sons and Grandsons who have interacted with the Dragon King for thousands to even tens of thousands of years could instantly perceive the Dragon King’s clear stance, and naturally, they wouldn’t engage in pointless disputes.
Just having been transported back from Beiming Dragon City, Su Yu received a message from Ao Qing:
"The Dragon King has already agreed to the petition. Ao Run will assume the position of Beiming Dragon City’s City Lord, and you as Grand Commander. Come meet the Dragon King."
Su Yu was dumbfounded for a while and said, somewhat mixed in emotion:
"I didn’t expect you to actually succeed."
Ao Qing said solemnly:
"Success was inevitable; the Dragon King could not destroy the order."
"You’ve got a good eye; I’ll be looking forward to your guidance in the future."
