Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043

"Can I come with you, Master?" Yu Yanshu immediately spoke up when she heard the plan. Su Chengyu wanted to refuse and tell her to focus on her cultivation.

But after taking another look at her current realm, he swallowed back his refusal.

If she were to advance to a higher realm, Su Chengyu would truly be worried if he weren’t by her side during the profound heavenly tribulation.

"Fine, you can come with me on the sea voyage," he conceded. "But you must not be reckless and follow me to the Capital City afterward."

Yu Yanshu blinked, slightly unwilling, but nodded her head nonetheless.

Yu Yanshu was crystal clear in her mind that Su Chengyu was merely using this as a pretext.

After all, the matter of going to the Capital City together was something Yu Yanshu had mentioned many times, and Su Chengyu had still not agreed to her request.

After making all the necessary arrangements, Su Chengyu left that very night with Yu Yanshu.

Regarding where to enter the sea and which direction to go, Su Chengyu already had a rough plan in mind.

He would leave from the southernmost part of Jiangbei and then fly on his sword toward the southwest direction.

Su Chengyu led the way, cutting through the wind with his Dragon Slayer Sword, while Yu Yanshu followed closely behind, controlling the Surging Wave Sword.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, one could control a sword to fly. Although Yu Yanshu had resided on Mount Qingcheng for a long time, she had a natural talent for Sword Control, actually moving swifter than Su Chengyu had at the same realm.

Of course, at this moment, Su Chengyu was accommodating Yu Yanshu’s pace, for she wouldn’t be able to keep up with him otherwise.

During this process, Su Chengyu consistently maintained the speed at a moderate level, allowing Yu Yanshu to keep up but also making her exert some effort.

It was not suitable for Yu Yanshu to advance realms too rapidly now, but it was necessary to strengthen the use of her divine skills.

While Yu Yanshu’s talent was exceptional, she lacked a strong foundation in actual combat, and the application of divine skills was her weak point.

It was only when he sensed that Yu Yanshu was reaching her limit that Su Chengyu let her stop and continue flying with him on the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Yu Yanshu seemed a bit guilty and ashamed as she spoke up after her Sword Control stamina was exhausted: "Master, I’m incapable."

"There’s no need for that," he reassured her. "Covering a thousand miles with Sword Control is an impossible task for you at this stage. You have already done better than I did back then. If you consider yourself incapable, then what does that make me?"

Yu Yanshu didn’t dare to say anything more and obediently followed behind Su Chengyu.

Looking at Su Chengyu, who had a clear destination in mind, Yu Yanshu still couldn’t help but ask, "Master, have you already decided where we’re going?"

Su Chengyu nodded and asked in return, "Do you know of Liuli Country?"

Yu Yanshu replied, "It was once a vassal state of Dongying Country, an island nation that became independent after the great war a hundred years ago. Master, do we need to go to such a distant place?"

Su Chengyu nodded again, "Within Xia Country’s borders, even the control over the sea territories is extremely strict. The Snake Tribe is still considered part of the Foreign Clan. With the way the Demon Slayer Department operates, they would uproot them completely once discovered, which is too dangerous. As for why Liuli Country, it’s because of this."

With a flip of his right hand, a dark seal appeared in Su Chengyu’s hand—it was none other than the Extreme Artifact, the Heavenly Black Dragon Seal, previously used by the Real Black Dragon.

"An Extreme Artifact? Hmm? Is this part of a set of magic artifacts?"

Su Chengyu smiled. With the innate talent of the Primordial Eye, even without fully deploying his divine skills, he could see the special characteristics of this treasure seal at a glance.

"Yes, this Heavenly Black Dragon Seal is not the only one of its kind. According to Real Black Dragon’s studies, it is infused with dragon energy and is one of the Emperor’s Six Treasures from a hundred years ago when Liuli Country was established,"

Yu Yanshu immediately understood and said, "Master, do you plan to give this object to Liuli Country to exchange for a place for the Snake Tribe to live?"

"It’s one possibility. Just like in Dongying Country, in their borders, some Demon Clans indeed can have a legitimate status, even being regarded as deities in some cases. But whether to cooperate with them or not will depend on their performance,"

Su Chengyu, having promised the Snake Queen that he would provide the Snake Tribe with a habitat, naturally wouldn’t just trade for a piece of land and then ignore it.

Whether Liuli Country is worthy of cooperation, Su Chengyu will have to assess at the time, and even in his heart, he doesn’t hold much hope.

Although there have been some conflicts and friction between Liuli Country and Dongying Country due to Liuli’s independence, it’s merely scratching the surface.

Since both countries essentially share the same origin, Su Chengyu has to be extremely cautious about cooperating with them.

Apart from that, another important reason for Su Chengyu’s visit to this place is the remaining five treasure seals.

After the establishment of Liuli Country, the Emperor’s Six Treasures somehow got lost among the common people. Liuli Country has searched for many years and has only managed to retrieve one, the rest are still scattered around.

Real Black Dragon, who was lucky enough to obtain one hundred years ago, never stopped searching for the rest of the treasures, and he had already collected many clues.

However, it was only because of Real Black Dragon’s character, who is afraid of death, that he had put this matter aside.

Su Chengyu did not avoid telling Yu Yanshu about Real Black Dragon’s findings regarding the Emperor’s Six Treasures. Blinking, Yu Yanshu said, "Master, do you want to collect all six treasures?"

Su Chengyu chuckled wryly, "It’s not so easy. Let alone one of them is now in the hands of the Liuli Country Royal Family, even in Real Black Dragon’s clues there are only traces of three others. We’d be lucky to even get one of them."

After listening, Yu Yanshu blinked, "If it’s just a few Extreme Artifacts, does Master need to go to such great lengths?"

Hearing this, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but knock Yu Yanshu on the head, "What do you mean ’just’ Extreme Artifacts? Do you think these things are junk?"

Even if they don’t greatly enhance Su Chengyu’s combat power, they are excellent for repairing the Heaven-Mending Stone or the Wasteland Sky Halberd, after all, these are Extreme Artifacts, and they are tinged with a bit of dragon energy, making them naturally superb for mending Artifact Spirits.

Yu Yanshu pouted and touched her head, "That’s what they are, after all. Master clearly doesn’t value these things that much."

Su Chengyu was at a loss for words, not expecting Yu Yanshu to see through him so clearly.

Indeed, just for the sake of these illusory Emperor’s Six Treasures, that alone would not be enough reason for Su Chengyu to come to Liuli Country.

Naturally, Su Chengyu had another reason for coming here. Controlling the Heavenly Black Dragon Seal, a black scale slowly peeled off from within the seal.

Yu Yanshu looked at the scale emerging from the treasure seal, her eyes instantly lighting up, "True Dragon Reverse Scale?"

Su Chengyu nodded.

If the allure of the Emperor’s treasure seal wasn’t that great, then this True Dragon Reverse Scale was something Su Chengyu simply couldn’t refuse.

He had on him the True Dragon Armor gifted by the real person of Kunwu, but the scales on it were made from Jiaolong reverse scales, which made its current value at best comparable to an Extreme Artifact, if not somewhat inferior.

But if he could collect enough True Dragon Reverse Scales and replace the scales on the armor, even at the very least, the True Dragon Armor would become a King-grade Divine Artifact, and it might even have the potential to become an Immortal Artifact!

So, even if it was just taking a chance, Su Chengyu still wanted to come here and give it a try.
