Chapter 1013: Chapter 999: Awakening the Black Dragon Legacy

Ye Zhen’s initiation ceremony was indeed simplified!

But Ye Zhen can say with confidence, he had never seen such a ‘simplified’ initiation ceremony.

To be honest, Ye Zhen had seen the ceremony of an Emperor’s ascension, but Ye Zhen can confidently say that the simplified ceremony on Heavenly Wing Island was even more grandiose and lavish than the Emperor’s ascension ceremony!

The Heavenly Wing Empire on Heavenly Wing Island practically celebrated Ye Zhen’s joining nationwide!

Moreover, in the Heavenly Wing Empire, from the Emperor and Empress to the Prefectural Governors of various counties, all the prominent officials came to pay homage to Ye Zhen.

The Emperor of Heavenly Wing Empire, known to be the grandson of the Great Saint of Jinghai, a King whose cultivation had reached the Second Stage of the Establishment Realm, in front of all the civil and military officials, and the bloodline descendants of the Sky Wing Three Saints, respectfully kowtowed three times to Ye Zhen, served him tea while kneeling, and acknowledged Ye Zhen as ‘Grandfather’!

This ceremony almost frightened Ye Zhen into fleeing in panic!

Not only was an Emperor calling him Great Grandfather, but behind the Emperor was a group of Imperial Concubines and a large crowd of sons and grandsons, all over eighty years old, kneeling there and calling the twenty-one-year-old Ye Zhen Great Grandfather!

This is simply…..

As for Liao Feibai, he was already laughing till he gasped for breath!

This grand celebration lasted for three whole days, during which Ye Zhen threw around many rewards; people had already called him Grandfather, so Ye Zhen had to express something, right?

During these three days, the Great Saint of Jinghai, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint discussed for three days with the relatives of the Emperor of Heavenly Wing Empire.

On the fourth day, an imperial decree for territory adjustment was issued within Heavenly Wing Empire, with parts of each of the three Great Saints’ territories taken to form a large new land, as the territory of the Heavenly Wing Fourth Saint Sea Suppression Great Saint.

Besides this, each year, the various Spirit Crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures submitted by Heavenly Wing Empire to the Heavenly Wing Palace were divided from three shares into four, equally among the four.

On Sky Wing Mountain, the Heavenly Wing Hall, the national temple altar of Heavenly Wing Empire, and various temples in different locations, all added the position of the Fourth Great Saint, Sea Suppression Great Saint!

Indeed, Ye Zhen’s title on Heavenly Wing Island is Sea Suppression Great Saint!

Additionally, within just three days, Heavenly Wing Empire gathered domestic skilled artisans, and various martial artists worked day and night; within just three days on Sky Wing Mountain, they constructed a Sea Suppression Palace!

Also, some martial artists who had broken through cultivation in the past six months to the Vein Forging Realm but had not joined various guards, were all assigned to Ye Zhen, forming the fourth guard of Heavenly Wing Island—the Sea Suppression Guard!

This was the only thing Ye Zhen found displeasing!

Because his Sea Suppression Guard was the most sparsely equipped!

In the original three guards of Heavenly Wing Empire, in the weakest of the three, the Sea-Breaking Guard, there were at least thirty Kings of Establishment Realm, and Vein Forging Realm martial artists numbered over two thousand!

But Ye Zhen’s newly established Sea Suppression Guard had only one hundred people!

Moreover, they were all martial artists from the First to Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm.

As for Kings of Establishment Realm, there were only two people!

One was Liao Feibai, the Thousand Guard Captain of Sea Suppression Guard, not only the top officer of the newly formed Sea Suppression Guard but also the superior of Ye Zhen as the Sea Suppression Great Saint, merely a titular position.

In practice, the operations were handled by Shii Bei, whom Ye Zhen recruited from Ancient Demon Island, serving as the Deputy Thousand Guard Captain of Sea Suppression Guard, managing all affairs within Ye Zhen’s Sea Suppression Hall.

Of course, with only a hundred men under his command!

Ye Zhen asked the elder brother, the Great Saint of Jinghai, about why his subordinates were so sparse.

The answer from the Great Saint of Jinghai was simple, the assets of their three guards were gradually built up by the three over the years.

They might be brothers with Ye Zhen, but this matter couldn’t be handled carelessly.

Certainly, if Ye Zhen needed, he could mobilize personnel from all three guards to work for him anytime; if someone dared disobey Ye Zhen’s commands, Ye Zhen could kill them on the spot.

However, Ye Zhen’s own Sea Suppression Guard needed to be cultivated and constructed slowly by himself.

Because, the personnel of the Heaven Wing Four Guards, each guard had their own direct lineage!

When the grand celebration ended and Ye Zhen moved into Sea Suppression Palace, Heavenly Wing Island issued another announcement!

However, this announcement was directed at three thousand one hundred inhabited islands, encompassing one hundred thirty-seven forces around Heavenly Wing Island.

The announcement was simple, proclaiming Ye Zhen the Sea Suppression Great Saint as the fourth member of Heavenly Wing Island! From then on, the Sky Wing Three Saints became Sky Wing Four Saints!

It emphasized the fraternal bond of Sky Wing Four Saints, living and dying together, never abandoning each other, and attached a pattern of the Sea Suppression Command Banner created by Ye Zhen himself!

The most crucial detail was that each announcement had four powerful Divine Soul Imprints at the end!

Anyone familiar with Heavenly Wing Island could recognize the Divine Soul Imprints of the Sky Wing Three Saints, and as for the fourth imprint, it naturally belonged to Ye Zhen.

It’s worth mentioning that Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Imprint showed no inferiority in the presence of his three elder brothers of the Dao Realm!

Once this announcement was made, it inevitably caused a tremendous stir throughout the sea domain.

For a moment, the uproar caused by the bounty order issued by the Dragon Alliance was immediately overshadowed by the appearance of the Heavenly Wing Fourth Saint, Sea Suppression Great Saint.

Everyone was inquiring, who is this suddenly emerged Heavenly Wing Fourth Saint, Sea Suppression Great Saint?

Exactly which crack in the rock did he spring out from?

Or what kind of Demon Beast transformed into him?

…..

While the entire Outer Domain Dead Sea was in an uproar, Ye Zhen was in secluded cultivation in the newly constructed Sea Suppression Hall on Sky Wing Mountain!

During these nearly two months, Ye Zhen had been so busy that he hadn’t had time for a good night’s sleep. If he wasn’t being chased by the Dragon Alliance, he was on the run, living a very tense life with nerves as taut as a bowstring stretched to the extreme.

Sometimes Ye Zhen was really afraid, thinking that if he got too tense, one day when the bowstring snapped, wouldn’t he be finished?

However, even if Ye Zhen wanted to settle down for a few days, he didn’t get the chance.

Now having become one of the Heavenly Wing Four Saints, he has finally settled down completely. The matters of Shuili Island have become clearer, so when the time for the reward pill assembly arrives, he can just go directly.

The only things that needed worrying were the poison in Liao Feibai’s body and the lingering sense of crisis he felt before.

According to eldest brother, Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, the poison in Liao Feibai’s body could be suppressed for at least three more months, so there was no hurry.

Once this wave of commotion passes, they’ll devise a plan for Yin Yang Island.

As for the sense of crisis that had lingered before, it hasn’t reappeared since,

But to be on the safe side, Ye Zhen spent a day completely refining the black dragon aura from the ordinary Black Dragon Banners of the eighteen slain White Dragon Envoys and the Gold Embroidered Black Dragon Banner with an aura ten times stronger than a normal Black Dragon Banner found in the storage ring of the Golden Rainbow Dragon King after exiting the Ancient Strange Space Secret Realm.

With so much black dragon aura entering his body, Ye Zhen’s black dragon martial meridians unsealing increased dramatically.

The degree of unsealing grew from just over twenty percent to more than thirty-five percent, an increase of over one-third!

After such a significant increase, Ye Zhen was pleasantly surprised to find that when he let go of suppressing the black dragon martial meridians, the crisis feeling that lingered around his heart shrank to an extent that it could be completely ignored!

If suppressed intentionally, that negligible sense of crisis would completely disappear!

Ye Zhen estimated, in this circumstance, unless the Dragon Alliance Hierarch Jie Tianhe entered within a ten thousand mile range of where Ye Zhen was located, he wouldn’t even faintly sense Ye Zhen’s approximate direction.

To accurately sense Ye Zhen’s position, he would probably have to enter within a hundred-mile radius to have a possibility!

Since mentioning the Gold Embroidered Black Dragon Banner found from the storage ring of the Golden Rainbow Dragon King, the gains inside the Golden Rainbow Dragon King’s storage ring should also be mentioned.

The wealth inside the Golden Rainbow Dragon King’s storage ring was slightly less compared to that of the Thunderbolt Dragon King’s, only about eighty percent of it, but for most martial artists, it was still astronomical.

However, the Golden Rainbow Dragon King was a collector of treasured swords, having two high-grade Spirit Swords in his storage ring, not to mention the golden Spirit Sword that Ye Zhen had sealed away!

There were also twelve mid-grade Spirit Swords and over a hundred low-grade Spirit Swords, but many were slightly altered by Ye Zhen and given away as gifts previously.

As for loot similar to the Thunderbolt Technique, there was none in the Golden Rainbow Dragon King’s storage ring.

However, the benefits the Golden Rainbow Dragon King brought to Ye Zhen were not much less than those brought by the Thunderbolt Dragon King!

Especially the Golden Rainbow Dragon King’s Innate Soul Light. That supremely pure Innate Soul Light was the most pure that Ye Zhen had refined and absorbed over the years.

The effect of refining the Golden Rainbow Dragon King’s Innate Soul Light alone was equivalent to refining the Innate Soul Light of thirty or forty Establishment King-level cultivators around the Fifth Stage.

It was just too pure!

The Innate Soul Light of the Golden Rainbow Dragon King alone brought Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Cultivation from the late stage of Innate Soul Light Fifth Realm to the peak of Innate Soul Light Fifth Stage!

He was just one step away from having Ye Zhen’s four-colored Innate Soul Light breakthrough to the sixth realm!

If that were the case, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Cultivation would advance significantly once more!

But, Ye Zhen wasn’t in a hurry at all because his storage ring still had more than twenty sealed Innate Divine Souls, whose cultivation levels ranged from the Third Stage to the Sixth Stage Establishment Kings!

The innate soul light from these more than twenty groups of innate divine souls, although numerous, paled in comparison in purity to the Innate Soul Light of the Golden Rainbow Dragon King.

However, they had the advantage of quantity!

After refining, making a breakthrough shouldn’t be difficult!

Two days later, when Ye Zhen was stabilizing his newly ascended Divine Soul Cultivation to the early stage of Innate Soul Light Sixth Realm, a voice suddenly sounded in his soul sea from Second Brother, Great Sage of the Overturning Sea!

“Fourth Brother, Eldest Brother said that you inherited the other half of the Black Dragon Legacy, but he discovered that you haven’t tapped into the abilities of the Black Dragon Legacy. Being of the same origin as the Black Dragon, Eldest Brother asked me to come over and enlighten you. Do you have time?” said the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea.

“Enlightenment? Enlightenment of the Black Dragon Legacy?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s heart filled with joy, “Second Brother, please come in. This little brother could not ask for more!” (To be continued.
