Chapter 600: Chapter 385: Sea Patrol Demon General, White Dragon Demon Palace!
Demon Qi surged, and it seemed as if the sound of waves echoed in the void.
This was a formidable Tier Three Profound Turtle Great Demon.
Gu Yuan was initially wary, with his fingers grasping the Sword Pill hidden in his sleeve, but upon hearing the words of the Profound Turtle, he relaxed slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hahaha!"
"Who am I? It seems that the Jiuyi Sect has indeed encountered a great calamity, forgetting even our White Dragon Demon Palace, to the extent of asking such a question!"
"But after not seeing anyone from your Jiuyi Sect for thousands of years, it’s normal you don’t know."
Hearing this, the Profound Turtle laughed heartily, causing the well water to splash and soak the bamboo pavilion.
White Dragon Demon Palace?
On hearing this, Gu Yuan was momentarily taken aback.
This name—could it be one of the 108 palaces of the East Sea?
Could the Jiuyi Sect still be associated with such an existence?
Gu Yuan’s mind immediately filled with thoughts, making several associations.
And just as Gu Yuan was pondering, the Profound Turtle seemed to recall something, chuckled, and asked him, "Are you truly a descendant of the Jiuyi Sect, or have you obtained the Jiuyi Sect’s inheritance and mastered the Celestial Traveling Seal?"
This question was rather tricky, but since this opportunity wasn’t seized by force, Gu Yuan did not fear. He was about to speak.
Before Gu Yuan could answer, the Profound Turtle immediately shook its head and said, "Forget it, forget it. Delving into these causes and effects is meaningless. Either way, the agreement between the Marquis and the Jiuyi Sect was that anyone who mastered the Celestial Traveling Seal could enter this Jiuyi Sea Academy. I’m too lazy to inquire further. Since you’ve practiced the True Scripture and mastered the Dharma Seal, you are indeed the fated one."
"Young man, since fate has brought us together, by agreement, I have three opportunities here. Which do you wish to choose?"
The Profound Turtle’s tone was grand and ancient, and without waiting for Gu Yuan to respond, it waved its front fin, causing three spiritual boxes of varying colors to float before Gu Yuan.
The three boxes were arranged in gold, silver, and bronze, each emitting a different spiritual light.
"In the bronze box, there is a Spirit Fruit that will greatly benefit your cultivation. If you choose this box, I will give it to you directly, without any cost."
"In the silver box, there is a pot of rare Spirit Pill that you’ve likely never seen, with extraordinary effects. If you select this box, you’ll need to exchange a few moves with me; as long as you don’t lose, you can take this box."
"As for the gold box, hehe, I advise you to think twice to avoid missing out on this opportunity for nothing!"
The Profound Turtle chuckled, seemingly with a hint of teasing in its eyes, then pushed the three boxes a bit closer to Gu Yuan.
Choosing one of the three boxes, the strength of the opportunity varies?
Spirit Fruit and Spirit Pill?
Gu Yuan sighed slightly and immediately made his decision.
"Since the opportunity in this box is the strongest, I should choose this box!"
Without hesitation, Gu Yuan directly reached out, grabbing the golden spiritual box in his hand.
He came here for the "Opportunity of the Dharma" with traces of gold in silver, so the Spirit Fruit and Spirit Pill were not even within his range of consideration.
Although it appeared there were three choices, in reality, to him, there was only one.
Without hesitating, Gu Yuan flicked it open, directly opening the box.
Inside the box, there was a palm-sized Jade Talisman engraved with a White Dragon pattern, subtly shimmering with Spiritual Radiance, trembling ceaselessly.
"Such courage!"
"Worthy of being the person who, after thousands of years, has once again mastered the Celestial Traveling Seal!"
Seeing Gu Yuan so decisively choose the gold box without a second thought or question, the Profound Turtle couldn’t help but commend him.
"This is..."
Looking at the Jade Talisman, Gu Yuan was slightly puzzled.
He had thought there would be a Jade Scroll inside the gold box, but was surprised to find a talisman, which seemed to lack any special ability and looked more like a symbol of status.
"Hahaha, this is the Dragon Banquet Jade Talisman from our White Dragon Demon Palace. With this talisman, you can participate in the Dragon Banquet taking place in half a month, held every five hundred years, offering great opportunities on the condition you can seize them!"
Upon hearing this, the Profound Turtle laughed heartily.
"The Dragon Banquet?"
Gu Yuan’s eyes widened slightly.
Seeing this, the Profound Turtle’s expression became serious as it said earnestly, "Listen well, young man!"
"I am a Sea Patrol Demon General under the command of the White Dragon Demon Palace, one of the 108 palaces decreed by the Dragon Court, known as Profound Turtle Mountain!"
Indeed, one of the 108 palaces of the East Sea!
Gu Yuan’s heart tightened.
The Demon Palace is a colossal entity that reigns over the East Sea, directly subordinate to the Dragon Court.
The Map of the Long Whale Sect only broadly outlined the power structures of the East Sea being guarded by the 108 Demon Palaces, without detailing the origins or names of specific demon palaces.
After all, the East Sea is truly a forbidden zone for the Human Race.
To be decreed as a Demon Palace, likely, the lowest could only be a Tier Six Great Demon, comparable to a Celestial Spirit Realm existence.
Such an existence, Gu Yuan had never encountered to date.
A dragon would reveal its head but never its tail!
In the East Mountain Realm, such a presence would already be among the peak existences.
Could the Jiuyi Sect truly be associated with such an existence, how could they have perished in the past?
"Our White Dragon Demon Palace holds a Dragon Banquet every five hundred years to celebrate for the Marquis, and every Dragon Banquet invites various large and small forces under the Dragon Palace to attend."
"Besides these forces affiliated with our Demon Palace, some fateful individuals from the Alien Races are also invited."
"Your Jiuyi Sect’s grandmasters once had an enigmatic connection with the Old Marquis, aiding your Jiuyi Sect to establish this Jiuyi Sea Academy, and allowing your sect a participation in a Dragon Banquet for anyone who masters the Celestial Traveling Seal."
"There is an abundance of gifts at the Dragon Banquet, countless treasures, but it depends on your abilities, and they won’t be handed out for free!"
"Since you’ve chosen the gold box and selected the Jade Talisman, you are eligible to attend the banquet. Consider it well—will you enter the East Sea with me to join the banquet?"
