At this mont, Andor confidently said, "My lord, rest assured and go ahead. Initially, a few people would co to guard near the Ancient Dragon Corpse Zone, but after so many tis, they no longer pay attention. Taking advantage of this, you can safely go there, and I won’t encounter any danger, at most just a reprimand, being told not to approach next ti!"
Upon hearing this, Ian paused for a mont before gladly thinking, "...That’s really good. It seems I’ve underestimated you all."
Indeed, Andor is a clever person, which is why he beca a Pirate Captain instead of a crew mber. However, Ian hadn’t expected that his counterpart’s thoughts would be so keen, inferring his goal from his past actions and even preparing in advance for it.
It seems this truly is a talent... can’t let him slip away.
"Then I’ll be off."
With these words, Ian and Elan went underwater together.
Elan naturally didn’t care about the destination. Rather, being able to swim in the ocean with his brother as a dragon body was inherently a joyful thing.
The sea color near the Atlantian Breeding Grounds leaned towards greenish-blue, its internal ecology very rich, featuring all forms of fish schools, coral reefs, and tidal flats, clearly designed by The Empire’s Biological Alchemists.
So low-level fish schools and Magical Beasts were evidently intended as food for higher-level Magical Beasts, such as the densely packed purple-red mixed ’Tide Mist Fish Swarm’ and the blue-purple mixed ’Cold Cherry Fish,’ which would nest among coral reefs, protecting the reefs while also serving as food for all the large fish and Magical Beasts in the area.
The shallow sea illuminated by sunlight was the area with the most complex and colorful ecology. When Elan first ca here, it took him a long ti before being moved; previously, he was just marveling at the sea’s beauty itself.
After all, viewing the ocean from a human perspective is completely different from the viewpoint of a dragon.
However, Ian’s goal was not the shallow sea but rather the distant place where the foundation of the Atlantian galopolis was located... the secretive ’Ancient Dragon Corpse Zone.’
The two Crystal Dragons were like two swords, speeding towards the depths of the sea, with all the fish schools and Magical Beasts retreating aside. Besides the Crystal Dragons’ inherent Dragon Might, Ian’s soul aura further deterred them from approaching.
It was an absolute disparity, not even close in pressure level... even the Third Level Magical Beast King would feel panic sensing Ian’s aura.
In fact, panic had already arisen.
"Woo woo woo!!!"
Not far away, in the depths of a ’U’-shaped artificial submarine abyss, a gigantic clam, asuring fifty ters in length and width, was initially displaying its jewel that exuded a crystal-clear light blue brilliance, purifying the surrounding seawater while also assimilating the natural Origin Quality of the sea for its own use.
Seaweed surrounded it. Fish schools swam about. It ford a stunning underwater ecological scene.
But suddenly, it slamd its shell shut, and the ensuing turbulent waves instantly blew away the surrounding tide and fish schools, conveying an emotion of ’fear.’
"What happened?!"
Nearby, the breeder imdiately sensed sothing amiss, his expression a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
As a seasoned breeder of the breeding grounds, he knew very well that this ’Purifying Clam’ had always been lazy; even though its wisdom long understood that it was being bred, its descendants would be tools for The Empire to harvest Elental Crystals, it didn’t care about these things.
As long as The Empire didn’t thoughtlessly try to kill the clam to harvest jewels, the simply thinking giant clam wouldn’t mind these trivial matters.
But today, it suddenly showed an extrely terrifying radical reaction.
"Abnormal event in Sector 51!"
The breeder imdiately leaped into the sea to calm the giant clam, while simultaneously issuing a warning to the breeding ground’s control center: "The Purifying Clam displayed a fear response; please check if there are other Third-Level Magical Beasts crossing boundaries!"
Instantly, the entire breeding ground beca abuzz and busy—if indeed a Second-Level Magical Beast had silently ascended to Third Level and started crossing boundaries to hunt, major trouble would arise.
And if it were the original Third-Level Magical Beast acting uncontrollably... the issue would beco even larger!
To avoid worse possibilities, the breeding ground always reacted quickly to such matters.
But the quicker they acted, the more misguided their search beca!
The two First Level Aether Dragons had reached the depths of the ocean, with the personnel and guardian Sea Beasts that should have been patrolling there a mont ago now drawn away due to the warning; even if the scanning formation detected Ian and Elan, they weren’t viewed as threats.
"This is the place."
At this mont, silver-blue brilliance flickered in Ian’s six dragon eyes, and he now saw the imnse, solid, and straight dragon bone remains in the distant sea abyss... the entire Atlantian galopolis was pressing upon it, its strong dragon bone embedded deep into the ground, with only one dragon claw raised, reaching above the sea surface.
And then, Ian stopped abruptly.
"Huh?"
At this point, Elan noticed his brother’s oddity and swam a circle around Ian, puzzled: "Brother, why did you suddenly stop?"
"...Brother saw sothing incredible."
At this mont, Ian truly was stunned, staring at the far-off ’Dragon Head’ location.
There, a light shone not of silver and not of gold...
Rainbow brilliance stread, like the most dazzling gem stars!
"Rainbow?"
Vigorously swinging his tail, Ian wanted to calm down but couldn’t—apart from matters related to the Rites of the Star Gods and Star Prison Tianyu, only remnants of the Skyfall Spaceship could allow him to see the rainbow.
The legacy of the Terra Dragon turned out to be so precious?
No. Calm down.
Perhaps the Fairy’s Heart would cause Ian’s emotions to fluctuate more, becoming more humanized, but at crucial monts, his mood could rapidly return to its optimal state.
Ian gazed at the place of rainbow brilliance, his heart already calm: "Even if there’s truly rainbow, it doesn’t an much—traveling the Dying Star Path, I absolutely could perceive the legacy here; it doesn’t represent any substantial change, at most becoming part of the future ’Light Dragon’ foundation."
"I need to obtain it, but can’t afford to lose control."
Further...
Is that truly the glow of inheritance? Ian didn’t believe it at all. The Atlantian Breeding Grounds had been established for so long; even if prior emperors hadn’t obtained it, Inega II would surely try to acquire it by all ans.
Calming down, Ian apologized and smiled at Elan, then led his brother, continuing to rush towards the Dragon Head’s direction.
"Wait, there’s a presence approaching the Ancient Dragon Corpse Zone!"
At this mont, even the breeding ground managers who were urgently searching for ’boundary-crossing Magical Beasts’ sensed sothing wrong near this forbidden zone around the Ancient Dragon Corpse Zone... But when they discovered that the intruding creatures in the forbidden zone were Crystal Dragons, they had no ans to block them.
"What to do?"
In the central monitor room, two managers looked at each other. They knew very well that those two Crystal Dragons were training nearby, and perhaps they too were frightened by the boundary-crossing Magical Beasts, subconsciously going to the nearest dragon corpse zone for refuge.
Not to ntion...
"I recall these two dragons seed to be brought by Ian Silverpeak... who is recently the fad Prophet?"
One of them slowly said, while the other nodded solemnly: "And the Ellen Family and Master Gossay... they’re no ordinary people."
"So then..."
"We didn’t see anything. As long as those two dragons return, we didn’t see anything."
"Yes, we didn’t see anything."
Quickly confirming the course of action, the two managers didn’t wish to get involved in any matter.
After all, what could two First-Level Crystal Dragons do? At most, they were there to acquaint themselves with the True Dragon aura.
And it was at this mont.
Ian and Elan arrived at the Dragon Head location of the ’Terra Dragon.’
And he finally realized why this place was a forbidden zone, yet not truly heavily guarded... and why he was able to see the ’rainbow’ brilliance.
Because, appearing before Ian’s eyes, faintly occupying the central part of the dragon skull—where the brain would be—was a black spherical space, the safest and most sealed insurance asure in the Whole Terra...
"Star Prison Tianyu... Black Domain!"
Ian widened his dragon eyes, the Crystal Dragon spewing a string of bubbles, proving his shock: "Is this the thod the Terra Dragon used to preserve its ’inheritance’?"
"A super-small ’Star Prison Tianyu’?!"
