Su Yu estimated that even his strength had probably increased somewhat.
Clenching his fist, Su Yu felt the explosive power contained within his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
"Looks like the gains were pretty good."
A voice suddenly sounded behind Su Yu.
Su Yu quickly turned around and saw that Di Tian had appeared at some unknown moment.
As he looked at Su Yu, a trace of gentleness rested upon his dignified face.
At that moment, Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also began walking over from a short distance away.
"Uncle Di Tian, why are you here?"
"Is there another trial waiting for me?"
Su Yu asked in surprise.
Whenever Di Tian appeared, there was always something going on.
Either he was testing Su Yu, or there was some other important matter.
Normally, as long as Su Yu was fine, he rarely showed himself.
Su Yu naturally knew that Di Tian was protecting him at all times, but Di Tian generally did not reveal himself.
"You won't have any trials for some time."
Di Tian shook his head and said, "I brought you here this time to take you to meet someone, and while we're at it, help you obtain your third Soul Ring."
"You've been at level thirty for quite a while already."
Hearing this, Su Yu hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Hadn't he been stuck at level thirty for a long time?
He had already reached level thirty when he was nine.
But Di Tian had told him then that there was no need to rush, that he would find a suitable Soul Ring for him.
So he put aside the thought of heading to the Extreme North to search for his third Soul Ring.
After all, his Soul Power would not stop growing merely because he had not added a Soul Ring.
Instead, it would reveal itself again once he obtained his third Soul Ring.
So delaying it for a while was no big deal.
But he had not expected that this delay would make him wait more than an additional year.
Was he finally going to obtain his third Soul Ring now?
He wondered what exactly Di Tian had prepared for his third Soul Ring.
"Was this Master's idea?"
At that moment, Bi Ji's unhurried voice drifted over.
She and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had slowly arrived beside Su Yu and Di Tian as well.
Su Yu habitually stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fur, but his heart jolted.
Master?
Could the person Di Tian was taking him to see be...
For a moment, Su Yu's emotions stirred.
"Mhm, it's about time." Di Tian gave a quiet assent and looked at Su Yu as he spoke calmly.
Bi Ji glanced at Su Yu and nodded after a moment.
"Indeed, it's time for Young Master to learn these things."
"Learn what?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked completely confused.
But neither Di Tian nor Bi Ji answered her. They merely looked at Su Yu.
"Young Master, let's go!"
Di Tian said.
Su Yu gave a quiet hum. "Alright!"
"Where are you going?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion bit down on Su Yu's hem and refused to let go.
"Auspicious Beast, don't worry. There's no danger. They'll be back soon."
Bi Ji pulled Su Yu's hem free as she soothed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Su Yu also rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fur before following Di Tian deeper inside.
Before long, their figures vanished from sight.
The two went all the way to the depths of the Lake of Life. Then, Di Tian suddenly opened a pitch-black Space Passage.
The passage was dark and murky, as though it had no bottom.
"Young Master, let's go."
Di Tian led the way, and Su Yu followed behind.
After entering the Space Passage, everything around them turned completely dark.
Who knew how long they walked before a dazzling light finally appeared at the end of their vision.
Su Yu could not help quickening his pace.
The two figures, one after the other, stepped into the circle of light at the end of the passage.
A flash of white light swept past, and Su Yu instinctively closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, his surroundings had changed dramatically.
It was an extremely vast space, its floor piled high with precious gems of every color.
Light from some unknown source illuminated the entire space.
Su Yu curiously surveyed his surroundings, while Di Tian strode forward and dropped straight to one knee. "Di Tian pays his respects to Master!"
Hearing this, Su Yu quickly looked in Di Tian's direction.
At the other end of the space stood an enormous being.
It was a dragon, a silver dragon.
Her body was incomparably huge, like a towering mountain range. Su Yu could not even take in her full form at a single glance.
Xiong Jun was already considered massive, yet before this dragon, he was like a child.
Su Yu estimated that this dragon was likely over a thousand zhang in size.
She was lying down even now. If she stood, who knew how imposing she would be?
The dragon's silver scales were unlike the savage appearance of other dragons. Instead, they seemed somewhat graceful and harmonious.
Yes, as Su Yu looked at this dragon, he actually thought she was beautiful.
Whether it was her silver wings, sharp dragon claws, or gleaming silver dragon horns, everything about her seemed perfectly balanced.
Not only did she not make him feel afraid, she instead gave Su Yu a sense of familiarity.
The last time Su Yu had felt that same sense of familiarity was from the Snow Empress.
It seemed that upon hearing Di Tian's voice, the dragon quietly opened her eyes.
A pair of purple Dragon Eyes, mysterious and noble. At the same time, an inexplicable pressure swept outward.
Di Tian felt his bloodline boil. He immediately prostrated himself completely; it was absolute bloodline suppression.
A dragon roar came from Su Yu's body, and the Dragon God Seal enveloped him as though beyond his control.
As if its authority had been challenged, the Dragon God Seal erupted with brilliant light, and an illusory nine-colored dragon wrapped around Su Yu.
The phantom of the Nine-Colored Dragon emerged behind Su Yu and raised its head toward the silver dragon with an angry roar.
The dragon phantom behind Su Yu was only a dozen or so zhang long, utterly insignificant compared to the silver dragon.
Yet its majesty seemed even greater than that of the silver dragon.
Nine-colored radiance spread outward, and all pressure melted away like ice and snow.
Di Tian suffered the most. Both pressures exerted absolute suppression over his bloodline.
As she looked at the Nine-Colored Dragon phantom circling behind Su Yu, the silver dragon's gaze seemed to brighten slightly.
Then, she quietly restrained her bloodline aura.
However, the Nine-Colored Dragon phantom behind Su Yu refused to let the matter rest. It roared several more times at the silver dragon before finally slipping back into the Dragon God Seal.
The Dragon God Seal hovered quietly above Su Yu's right hand, radiating an aura capable of suppressing heaven and earth.
As both pressures dissipated, Di Tian felt much more at ease.
"Reporting to Master, this subordinate has brought Young Master here."
Di Tian spoke to the silver dragon with utmost respect.
"Mhm, I know. You may withdraw first."
A gentle yet commanding female voice came from the silver dragon's mouth.
Unexpectedly, the voice was extremely pleasant to hear.
"Yes, Master. Di Tian takes his leave!"
Di Tian performed a salute, then saluted Su Yu as well before withdrawing.
