108 Silver Dragon Prince. (1/2)
Li Yang and Fang Ying stayed on their platform above the whirlpool, waiting for the larger groups to send in scouts to check if it was safe to enter the whirlpool. Once the other groups received the reports from their scouts that it was safe, they sent in everyone else. Countless people jumped into the whirlpool, vanishing past the thin membrane of space and entering the Ocean God's Graveyard. Once most of the people had entered the whirlpool, Li Yang and Fang Ying stood up, flashing each other a quick smile.
”Once again, off we go.”
”Let's stir up some trouble.”
How many times hadn't the two of them said these words before entering hidden realms or other dangerous locations? To finally get to say them again, it filled both of them with boundless joy. They both stepped off the platform and plummeted downwards, directly into the whirlpool, holding hands just in case the whirlpool tried to separate them. Langshen quickly followed after them, stepping into a ripple in space and appearing directly above the whirlpool, all three of them entering it at the same time.
They felt a strong force tear at them while they were passing through the upper portion of the whirlpool, but it vanished the moment they passed through the spatial membrane. There was no flash of light or cocoon of space, they simply appeared in a completely different place the moment they passed through the membrane.
Directly beneath them was a large island, a vast city covering the entire island. The city was built almost like a pyramid, the closer you got to the center of the city the more elevated it became, a hexagonal palace made from ocean blue stone standing at the tallest part of the city. The island was surrounded by a vast ocean that spread out as far as the eye could see, various islands that had different environments spread out all over the area.
Li Yang and Fang Ying were currently falling towards the city, giving them a good view of the surrounding ocean. They could see several shadows within the water, some as small as a person while others were as large as some of the islands, several kilometers in each direction. Clearly, one had to be very careful if they wanted to traverse this ocean and move from island to island. They could see that the other people who had entered the Ocean God's Graveyard before them were currently within the city beneath them so it seemed like everyone would end up in this location upon entering this place.
The two glanced at each other before nodding their heads, pushing each other slightly so that their direction changed. Rather than fall towards the eastern outskirts of the city, they were now falling towards the southern outskirts of the city, a bit away from the other people. Langshen let out a subdued howl as they were a short distance away from the city, surrounding the three of them in a thin cocoon of space and teleporting them directly down to the city, saving them the trouble of having to decrease their speed before landing.
The two inspected their surroundings after arriving in the city, checking out the buildings and the road beneath them. The roads followed a spiraling pattern around the entire city, tilting upwards so that it could follow the elevation of the city. The murky blue buildings followed a rather strange architecture, they were all perfectly square and the same size, slowly growing larger as one got closer to the center of the city. They looked like large building blocks that had been hollowed out and spread around to form a city. After inspecting their surroundings, Li Yang glanced at Fang Ying out of the corner of his eye.
”Do you want to follow the other groups to the palace at the center of the city or should we check out some of the other islands first? No point in going after the Divine Beasts just yet, it's better to wait for the other people to discover them and form groups to take them down.”
Li Yang had only discovered the Divine Beasts thanks to his bloodline, it would take a bit of time for the others without Divine Beasts bloodlines to discover the Divine Beasts. Trying to find the Divine Beasts now would only lead to him and Fang Ying having to spend a lot of time waiting for the others to find them, it was better to spend their time searching for resources and increasing their strength. Fang Ying tapped her chin slightly, her gaze moving between the palace at the center and the other islands in the distance, her lips slowly curving up into a teasing smile as she glanced at Li Yang.
”Let's head for the center tower first, the best resources should be there. If we don't increase your strength there's a chance that you'll just drop dead at the first signs of battle.”
Li Yang's cultivation was currently only at the middle stage of the Ascending Heaven realm, and while he did have the strength of someone at the Soaring Immortal strength, it was indeed a little low, especially when they had no idea what sort of enemies they might face. Li Yang looked at Fang Ying's smile, clicking his tongue.
”Tch, you can only say that because you're three years older than me. Had we been born at the same time I guarantee that my cultivation would be higher than yours, even with you being the favorite of the Tian clan.”
Fang Ying wasn't just three years younger than him, she had awakened her memories three years before him as well, giving her plenty of time to increase her strength. She was also a member of the Tian clan, the resources she had access to were far better than Li Yang's. Fang Ying giggled lightly, grabbing hold of Li Yang's hand and following the road to the center of the city, waving her free hand in a nonchalant manner.
”Right right, whatever makes you sleep better at night. Don't worry, I'll make sure to protect you from all the scary people.”

Located at the center of the Cloud Wilderness, the largest wilderness and one of the five most deadly places on this planet, was a massive city. The city mixed a wide variety of architectures, some buildings were made from normal material, some buildings were built directly into the trees, while other buildings were constructed inside mountains located around the city. This city was known as Myriad Roars city, the capital of the Demon race, the rulers of the Cloud Wilderness.
The people of the Demon race were in fact just people born between a Demonic beast and a human, most of them weren't all that different from normal humans. But they had still gathered together here in the heart of the Cloud Wilderness, forming a nation of their own that lived in relative harmony with the Demonic beasts of the Cloud Wilderness, neither hunting the other.
At the northern end of the city stood a tall and thick tree, almost resembling a pillar that connected the earth with the clouds. Built amidst the crown of this tree was a large rectangular mansion that was a deep silver in color, glimmering in the light of the sun. A wrinkly orange-haired man was making his way through the hallways of the mansion, which were carpeted with a golden carpet made from a soft type of fur that had been shed by a rather rare Demonic beast known as the Gold-Furred Tree King.
