The teams from the South Sea Dragon Palace and North Sea Dragon Palace, watching from a distance, hurriedly turned their attention to the sealed area.
“The seal is definitely weakening!”
“It looks like this area is about to see the light of day again!”
They instantly grew excited.
After all, the Submerged Dragon Abyss was built and left behind by the Dragon Emperor to ensure the dragon clan’s continued prosperity.
Naturally, this sealed area was also left by the Dragon Emperor.
No one knew why the Dragon Emperor had sealed off this half of the area, so everyone was immensely curious about what lay inside.
Could there be treasures? Could there be opportunities?
Now that the seal was about to lift, how could they not be thrilled?
Moments later, the light barrier of the sealed area completely dissipated.
“The seal is gone!”
“It’s open!”
“Quick, charge in!”
In an instant, the South Sea and North Sea Dragon Palace teams, who had been watching from afar, rushed towards the previously sealed area.
“Dragon King, let’s hurry in too!” the East Sea Dragon Palace’s Great Elder said urgently.
In this situation, entering the sealed area was far more important than dealing with the East Sea Dragon Palace.
After all, fighting the East Sea Dragon Palace wouldn’t yield much benefit. The Great Elder had been summoned from afar mainly to prevent the West Sea Dragon Palace from being bullied, and that goal had been achieved.
“Alright, let’s go!” Little Green Dragon nodded immediately.
All the West Sea Dragon Palace members who had been fighting quickly gathered in front of Little Green Dragon.
“Ao Tiancheng, we’ll settle this later!”
Lin Yun tossed out those words, swiftly stowed his Nine-Star Pagoda, and rushed to join Little Green Dragon.
Once gathered, they charged into the area.
“Great Elder, should we go in?” the East Sea Dragon Palace’s Seventh Elder asked.
“Nonsense, of course we’re going. Move, let’s hurry in!”
The East Sea Dragon Palace’s Great Elder gave the order, leading his team straight towards the formerly sealed area.
…
After the various teams rushed in:
“What an ancient aura,” Lin Yun remarked in awe.
Clearly, this area had been sealed for far too long.
“Everyone, this area is vast. Let’s split into smaller teams to search. If anything unusual happens, send a signal!” Little Green Dragon instructed.
The area was expansive, and with all four dragon palaces now inside, searching together would mean many places would be explored by others first.
With the West Sea Dragon Palace’s Dragon King, Great Elder, and Second Elder present, would the East Sea Dragon Palace dare try anything?
Even if they did, a single signal would bring everyone rushing over.
With their numerical advantage, what was there to fear?
“Alright!”
After agreeing, the group quickly dispersed, searching and exploring in different directions.
Little Green Dragon stayed with Lin Yun.
“Little Green Dragon, I didn’t expect you to call for reinforcements so early,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Nonsense. The East Sea Dragon Palace’s intent to pick a fight was so obvious, I had to prepare early,” Little Green Dragon grinned.
“Fair enough. Let’s start searching and exploring.”
With that, Lin Yun and Little Green Dragon chose a direction and began their exploration.
The other three dragon palaces, upon entering the area, also split into smaller teams to explore.
During the search, Lin Yun fully extended his divine sense, greatly increasing efficiency and allowing them to cover far more ground than other teams.
After some time exploring:
“Strange, why haven’t we found anything?” Lin Yun muttered, puzzled.
This area had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years. If any rare items had grown here, untouched for so long, they should have reached an incredibly valuable state.
Yet, after searching for a while, they found nothing—no rare items, no discoveries.
Little Green Dragon added, “It is odd. I expected to find some ancient treasures or valuable mineral veins, but there’s nothing.”
Lin Yun stopped before an underwater plant, examining it closely.
“Little Green Dragon, look at this plant. It seems malnourished, as if its energy has been drained,” Lin Yun said, staring at it.
In a sealed area untouched by others, even ordinary plants should have grown lush and extravagant, but that wasn’t the case.
“Strange, truly strange. Even these ordinary plants are underdeveloped. In this environment, it’s hard to imagine any rare treasures growing here,” Little Green Dragon sighed repeatedly.
“But… why is it like this?” Lin Yun wondered, baffled.
“Given this situation, there’s little value in searching here. Let’s head straight to the end of the Submerged Dragon Abyss and see what’s there,” Little Green Dragon suggested.
“Alright!”
Lin Yun nodded, and the two unleashed their full speed, racing towards the end.
After a high-speed journey:
“Little Green Dragon, look! A light barrier!” Lin Yun pointed ahead.
They were still some distance from the barrier but could already see it faintly.
“That light barrier… it seems like a sealed barrier, and it’s right at the end of the Submerged Dragon Abyss!” Little Green Dragon said, surprised.
“Indeed, it looks like one. But if the seal on this area has already lifted, why is there still a seal there?” Lin Yun asked, confused.
“Let’s not worry about it. We’ll head over first,” Little Green Dragon said.
Lin Yun nodded, and the two pushed their speed to the limit, racing towards the barrier.
At full speed, they soon reached the light barrier.
No other dragon clan members had arrived yet, likely still searching the area.
Lin Yun looked up. The area covered by the light barrier was small.
The light was dazzling, making it impossible to see what lay inside.
“If there’s any opportunity in this sealed area, I’d bet it’s in there,” Lin Yun murmured.
“I wonder how long it’ll take for this seal to lift,” Little Green Dragon said.
“I reckon it won’t take long—maybe a few hours, or a day or two at most. Since the area’s seal has opened, this one will too. Otherwise, opening the area would be pointless,” Lin Yun said.
Of course, this was just his speculation.
