Chapter 601: Chapter 385: Sea Patrol Demon General, White Dragon Demon Palace!

"If you’re unwilling, the previous agreement still stands. Choose that bronze box, and you can leave."

The Profound Turtle briefly explained the situation’s ins and outs, then offered Gu Yuan another chance.

Attending the Dragon Palace banquet, that truly requires great courage.

Heh, the East Sea is not like the East Mountain Realm; calling it a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den is an understatement.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately fell into deep thought.

He never expected this opportunity to be so complex, even involving the Dragon Palace banquet.

That is the territory of a suspected Celestial Spirit Realm powerhouse, still within the Demon Race’s domain; even with the Mountain Sea Golden Talisman, it might not protect him.

What should he do?

Since beginning his cultivation journey, Gu Yuan has rarely experienced such indecision, but today, faced with the vast pressure of the East Sea, he had to thoroughly contemplate.

But Stone Liquid must not be wrong.

This opportunity should ultimately be fulfilled at this so-called Dragon Banquet.

"Since I’ve chosen, how could I regret it?!"

"Please, lead the way, Demon General!"

The Good Fortune Seal in his dantian circulated around his heart and spirit, and Gu Yuan no longer hesitated. He flashed a smile at the Profound Turtle before him.

"Good, good!"

"It seems you do have some courage, not a cowardly type!"

"Do not worry, my White Dragon Demon Palace does not eat people; rather, we favor forming connections. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have built this courtyard for a mere Jiuyi Sect. Even if you gain nothing from this journey, the spiritual food at the banquet will not disappoint you."

"You’re not the only one from the Human Race attending the Dragon Banquet, so rest assured!"

The Profound Turtle saw that Gu Yuan had truly decided and admired him, laughing heartily and offering comfort.

"Still, I must thank the Demon General for the guidance."

Gu Yuan performed a reverent prostration, expressing his gratitude.

"Haha, it’s my duty. As long as you cultivate the Celestial Traveling Seal, you’re a fated person, and our Dragon Palace will never break our word!"

"There’s no time to lose, come with me into the sea!"

The Profound Turtle chuckled, then unleashed his demonic power. The seawater from the well suddenly surged out, quickly drenching the bamboo pavilion. Moreover, there seemed to be a faint suction from within.

"The East Sea is vast and boundless. Combined, the four seas are even greater than the Central Land Divine State. Only by the Sea Eye passage can we swiftly travel back and forth; otherwise, at the cultivation level of you and me, our mana would be exhausted, and we would be too fatigued to reach the Demon Palace on time."

"But with this Sea Eye, it’ll take less than half a day."

"This Jiuyi Sea Academy is built precisely for this Sea Eye."

"Keep your heart and spirit steady, channel your mana, and do not stray from the Sea Eye passage, or you may face mortal danger!"

Seeing Gu Yuan’s confusion, the Profound Turtle pointed to the well mouth, introducing with a smile.

"I see!"

Gu Yuan suddenly understood.

He had seen descriptions of Sea Eyes in records, but what one reads is just shallow knowledge. Having witnessed it today, he finally understood.

"Plop!"

At this moment, the Profound Turtle had already leaped first, diving towards the well mouth and sinking to the bottom.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan dared not delay and immediately followed, channeling his mana, heading towards the well mouth.

"Splash!"

The well mouth was narrow, allowing only one person to pass, and the well was extremely shallow. At the speed of a Golden Core Cultivator, in the blink of an eye, he could see the dark muddy bottom.

"Don’t pause, go straight through!"

As Gu Yuan entered the well, the Profound Turtle’s voice echoed in his ears.

Gu Yuan instantly complied, increasing his speed, heading straight for the mud at the bottom of the well.

"Splash!"

Just as Gu Yuan’s body was about to hit the mud, a huge suction came from the well bottom. The force was beyond what a Golden Core Realm could imagine. Gu Yuan felt a tremor in his form and was immediately sucked in.

"Swish!"

With the world spinning, Gu Yuan struggled to steady his heart and spirit. Looking up, he found himself already within an unfamiliar corridor full of rushing water.

The speed of this water flow was indescribable, like a "light" shooting straight through the seabed.

Gu Yuan only saw countless fish shadows flash before his eyes. Even with his Golden Core eye power, he felt slightly dizzy, as if countless illusions flowed before him like a merry-go-round.

But in just the blink of an eye, he suppressed all discomfort and steadied his heart.

"Not bad, experiencing the Sea Eye passage for the first time, not only humans but even our Sea Race would feel strong dizziness and illusions. Yet you adapted in a breath, your heart nature must be outstanding!"

In front of Gu Yuan, the Profound Turtle stretched out its four limbs, lightly stirring the water flow. Seeing Gu Yuan recovering his heart and spirit, it immediately praised him once more.

Based on his current observations, this human cultivator seems to be stronger than the previous cultivators recorded by the Jiuyi Sect, unlike ordinary mortals.

"You flatter me!"

Gu Yuan smiled and did not take pride in it.

"Haha, now channel your mana. The more abundant the mana, the more you can connect with the sea eye, and the faster your speed will be!"

The Profound Turtle chuckled, then stirred the water with its limbs. Its body flickered and it shook off Gu Yuan, speeding forward rapidly.

"Mana?"

Gu Yuan was slightly startled at the back, then with a thought, his mana gently surged, probing the surrounding "water flow."

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the mana touched the sea eye passage, it was absorbed by the water flow. Gu Yuan’s body shot forward a long distance all of a sudden, like nitrogen acceleration.

"Interesting..."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan was intrigued, and immediately channeled thirty percent of his mana, pouring it into the sea eye passage.

"Boom!"

His body jolted and, like a meteor, flew through the sea eye passage, crossing countless nautical miles in a flash, like lightning.

Yet even so, he still couldn’t see the shadow of the Profound Turtle.

"Is a Great Demon of the same level also playing a test game?"

Gu Yuan’s heart was perceptive and astutely guessed some of the Profound Turtle’s intentions, unable to help but laugh silently to himself.

With his current foundation, even if the Profound Turtle came from the East Sea Demon Palace, it was still not enough to surpass him.

"Boom!"

With a thought, he fiercely activated sixty percent of his mana, pouring it into the surrounding sea eye passage.

In an instant, his body turned into light, racing with unimaginable speed through the sea eye passage, with everything around him like fleeting shadows, all left behind in his wake.

Within a few breaths, he saw a large black Profound Turtle about a foot in size, paddling its limbs, swimming with effort.

But just as he was about to overtake the black Profound Turtle, Gu Yuan’s speed inadvertently slowed down, stopping behind the Profound Turtle, without surpassing it, but instead following at "slightly slower speed" behind it.

"Hmm?!"

Seeing this, the Profound Turtle was slightly astonished in his heart.

His intent was just to test Gu Yuan’s caliber because if a person of an alien race had weak means, it would bring shame at the Dragon Banquet, and he would also be somewhat implicated.

But little did he expect that the human cultivator behind him had such substantial mana, able to easily catch up to him.

"Boom!"

Upon this realization, he subtly placed his demon pill into his mouth, greatly enhancing his demonic power, turning his entire turtle body into a black stream of light, suddenly, much faster, disappearing into the sea eye passage.

"What?!"

But just when the black Profound Turtle glanced back out of the corner of his eye, he was surprised to find that the human cultivator still followed him at a "slightly slower speed."

"Alright, alright, alright, I just don’t believe it!"

If previously it was to probe Gu Yuan’s means, now it truly stirred his competitive spirit.

Under his turtle shell, deep demon patterns lit up, surging power exploded in his abdomen, which then flowed into the demon pill.

Already at an extreme speed, his body sped up by three points, cutting through the sea eye like black lightning.

But when his demon thoughts surged, he found that the human cultivator behind him still followed steadily at a "slightly slower speed."

Even the distance between the two was the exact same as before, not off by even a millimeter.

"Such magnificent mana!"

Seeing this, the Profound Turtle immediately gasped in amazement.

Such mana, even the young dragon species of the Demon Palace might only be a few degrees stronger in their youth.

"No need to pretend anymore, no need to pretend anymore, it is I who is inferior, humiliating myself here. To re-cultivate the Celestial Seal after thousands of years, truly not ordinary."

"Don’t waste your mana, save some of it, there’s still some distance to go after leaving the sea eye!"

Fortunately, he was not a turtle with a narrow-minded heart, and immediately conceded, smiled bitterly, slowed down, and said to the one behind him.

"Follow the Demon General’s speed."

Gu Yuan smiled and also gradually slowed down, still following behind the Profound Turtle.

Subsequently, neither the person nor the demon spoke further, just traveled onward. And after half a day, within the originally dim sea floor, a grand and bright light suddenly shone out from the front, making the entire sea bed as bright as day.

White Dragon Demon Palace!
