Chapter 1056 Forcibly Detour 8 Miles
People experience sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; just as the moon waxes and wanes.
Standing by the Jade Pool in the Burial Dragon Abyss, Su Xiaoya gazed at the setting sun, so different from the one on land, and a vague sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.
Noticing her mood, Yu Shuheng, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao Ya, what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that all good things must come to an end," Su Xiaoya said softly.
At this moment, a golden light descended from the sky; it was the Golden Dragon returning with the three monkeys of Wuzhiqi.
The dragon horns on the golden dragon head gleamed with a faint light, clearly indicating that this trip had been quite fruitful.
"Hey, you're all here!" Wuzhiqi laughed and jumped down. "We've really seen something new this time. The outside world has changed so much!"
Chang scratched his head: "It's just that those monks were looking at us strangely, as if they had seen something weird."
The three-eyed monkey sneered: "That's because they're ignorant! Back in the day, when we were on Flower Fruit Mountain..."
Alright, alright, Wuzhiqi waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that now, I've brought back some good news!"
Su Xiaoya asked curiously: What good news?
News came from Beihai that something big might happen soon. Wuzhiqi said mysteriously that someone had reportedly discovered clues to ancient ruins deep in Beihai.
The remnant soul of the golden dragon spoke at this moment, its voice deep and majestic: Not only that, I also sensed the aura of other dragons near the West Sea. Although it was very faint, it was definitely there.
Yu Shuheng pondered: Could there be other dragons surviving in the West Sea?
The group all turned to look at the hundred or so sea creature cubs that had fully hatched—the area around the Jade Pool was bustling with activity, filled with the cries and playful sounds of the cubs.
"So many little ones," Yu Shuheng exclaimed, "there's hope for the future of the West Sea."
The remnant soul of the golden dragon nodded: Indeed, with these new forces, the reconstruction of the West Sea Dragon Palace is just around the corner.
Immediately, the group took the cubs back to the West Sea Dragon Palace.
Looking at the once empty and lifeless Dragon Palace, now vibrant with life thanks to the arrival of these little creatures, Su Xiaoya felt both gratified and a pang of reluctance.
After pondering for a moment, Su Xiaoya finally made up her mind: "Shennong, I have something to say to you."
The divine mirage raised its head, as if it had already seen through everything: "Master, what do you want to say?"
“I want to… break the contract between us.” Su Xiaoya uttered these words with difficulty, as if each word was as heavy as a thousand pounds. “Look, these West Sea Mirage cubs can’t live without you. Their growth requires you. I can’t be so selfish as to bind you to my side.”
The Divine Mirage trembled slightly, a complex expression flashing in its eyes: "Master, are you going to abandon the Divine Mirage?"
“It’s not abandonment!” Su Xiaoya didn’t want the divine mirage to misunderstand, so she immediately explained, “I just feel that you should stay here and accompany your people to grow up. This is your mission.”
The Divine Mirage remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I understand Master's good intentions. The Divine Mirage truly wishes to remain in the Western Sea to protect these races and ensure their safe growth. However..."
but what?
However, the Divine Mirage did not want to break the contract. The Divine Mirage firmly stated that its master was its first friend, and had even destroyed the Demon Shark Trial Space for its sake. The Mirage could stay here temporarily, but asked its master to give it a chance; once these children grew up and were able to live independently, the Mirage would return to its master's side.
Su Xiaoya was still somewhat touched: "Shen, we are friends, I want you to be free..."
“Master, there’s no need to be troubled,” the Divine Mirage smiled happily.
“Consider it a reminder for Shen. Shen slept for 100,000 years, and you awakened Shen. Moreover,” Shen Shen paused, then said firmly, “with the contract in place, we will always be connected. No matter how far apart we are, Shen can feel the peace of its master.”
In the end, Su Xiaoya agreed to the mirage's request: "As you wish! However, don't call me master. We are friends. Just call me Xiaoya."
"Okay, little girl!" Shen Shen felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders and became genuinely happy.
Oh my friend!
What a beautiful friendship!
Even though He was in seclusion cultivating, the moment He awoke, He had already sensed the presence of the Golden Dragon, Old Bai, Little Nine, and Little Qing.
They all had contracts with Su Xiaoya, so they could naturally sense each other's presence.
The two agreed that once the cubs in the West Sea had all grown up, the Divine Mirage would go to find Su Xiaoya.
The next day, everyone in the Dragon Palace was busy.
Wulong led over a hundred sea creature cubs, who began learning various skills as if surrounded by stars.
Some focused intently on learning magic, some concentrated on learning combat, and some meticulously studied management.
"Hey, you little brats, give me your full attention!" Changyou shouted, "Back in the day, when I was training my monkey minions..."
"That's enough!" The three-eyed monkey rolled its eyes dramatically. "You forgot..."
"Ahem..." Changyou didn't know that the Three-Eyed Monkey would bring up such a sensitive topic again, and he didn't want to embarrass himself in the Western Sea.
"Alright, alright," Wuzhiqi quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Everyone is thinking about the future of the West Sea, let's stop arguing."
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng were engrossed in studying the Dragon Palace's formation.
To be precise, it's that mysterious teleportation array!
In a dark, secret chamber, they discovered an ancient map as if they had found a treasure, on which the locations of the teleportation arrays between the Four Seas Dragon Palaces were clearly marked.
"So that's how it is!" Yu Shuheng exclaimed as if he had just woken up from a dream. "No wonder when Sun Wukong made a ruckus in the East Sea Dragon Palace, the other three Dragon Kings arrived with just one beat of their drums."
Su Xiaoya also looked enlightened, nodding repeatedly, finally understanding.
However, the most important thing right now is the teleportation array in front of us.
Su Xiaoya stared intently at the map: "The design of this teleportation array is truly ingenious. It cleverly utilizes the interconnected waterways of the four seas to achieve instant teleportation."
“However, these teleportation arrays are now in a dilapidated state,” Yu Shuheng frowned. “Repairing them will require a lot of materials and spiritual energy.”
Just then, the golden dragon floated over cheerfully: "I heard you discussing teleportation arrays?"
“Yes, Jinlong,” Su Xiaoya carefully handed over the map. It was so worn out; she was afraid she might ruin it at any moment. “Take a look.”
Jinlong took the map, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes: "This is a teleportation array map from ancient times. Back then, the four seas were like one family, traveling to and fro, looking out for each other. How prosperous and thriving it was!"
"Jinlong, do you know how to repair these teleportation arrays?" Yu Shuheng asked.
Su Xiaoya also looked at Jinlong with curiosity.
She and Yu Shuheng built several teleportation arrays.
However, the teleportation arrays between the Four Seas Dragon Palaces should have their own specific array patterns.
Jinlong pondered for a moment: "I know some methods, but I need to find specific materials. In particular, the essence of the ten-thousand-year-old black iron at the bottom of the sea and the tear ore of the deep sea pearl are very difficult to find now."
"Wow!" Wuzhiqi suddenly appeared, "Treasure hunting is my specialty!"
"You?" Changyou said, somewhat exasperated. "You even led us astray last time."
"That was an accident! An accident, you understand?" Wuzhiqi said anxiously.
Who knew that Wuzhiqi, who was leading the way just fine, would always meddle in other people's business? He would go about things haphazardly, turning a perfectly good road into a completely off-track route, going way off to the ends of the earth.
Watching them bicker, Su Xiaoya couldn't help but smile: "Alright, let's think of a solution together. Since we know what materials we need, we'll find a way to get them."
In the days that followed, everyone devoted themselves to the reconstruction of the Dragon Palace.
They train the cubs during the day and study formations at night. Although it's hard work, everyone has a hopeful smile on their face.
One month later, late one night, Su Xiaoya stood alone at the highest point of the Dragon Palace, gazing at the starry sky.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Shuheng's voice rang out from behind.
"It's nothing. The Four Seas Dragon Palace teleportation array in the West Sea has been repaired, and the training of the dragon cubs, mirage cubs, giant whale cubs, and other sea creature cubs is all on track. I'm about to leave," Su Xiaoya said softly.
Where are you planning to go next?
“I’m going to the Western Wilderness to take a look.” Su Xiaoya turned and stared at Yu Shuheng. “You know, I need to find the ‘Earth Spirit’.”
Yu Shuheng smiled gently: "I will naturally accompany you wherever you go, but I don't know if Jinlong will be traveling with us this time?"
In the distance, the divine mirage frolics in the sea with its cubs, its appearance completely devoid of the vicissitudes it had endured after traversing mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Indeed, the cubs are the most comforting little angels.
that's nice!
The five dragon cubs darted through the water with ease, training the mermaid cubs, the giant whale cubs, and other sea warriors.
The three monkeys of Wuzhiqi, beaming with joy, guided the cubs in their cultivation.
Su Xiaoya took a deep breath. Although she felt reluctant to leave, she was filled with anticipation for the future.
"All good things must come to an end, but as long as we hold each other in our hearts, we will never truly be separated," she murmured softly.
The moonlight, like a light veil, sprinkled on the sea, making it shimmer and sparkle, like scattered silver.
Bathed in moonlight, the West Sea Dragon Palace appears exceptionally tranquil and beautiful, as if whispering a story about new life and hope.
