"Crown Prince, are we still making a move?"
"Looks like Kui Ox has already been subdued!"
Thousands of miles away from Fubo Mountain, deep beneath the Eastern Sea, Ao Guang had been lying in ambush with two teams of Dragon Palace battle dragons, waiting for the right moment to provide timely aid.
"If that's the case, let's withdraw!"
"Big Brother Shi Yu really has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. He actually subdued this prehistoric species so easily!"
Because Kui Ox was a prehistoric species, there were few people in the Eastern Sea who could match him. He could be called a tyrant of the Eastern Sea.
As the actual rulers of the Eastern Sea, the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan had dealt with Kui Ox many times. If the Dragon King of the East Sea, with his Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, did not intervene, few people in the Dragon Palace could defeat Kui Ox.
To reduce the Dragon Clan's presence as much as possible, only the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation. All the other members of the Dragon Clan above that level had to return to the Eastern Azure Dragon Realm to cultivate.
Thus, several true dragons turned around and rushed back toward the Dragon Palace.
"Young Master, where are we going next?"
To avoid attracting attention, Unicorn Rhinoceros transformed into a blue ox, while Kui Ox transformed into a water buffalo. After all, two rare prehistoric species were far too conspicuous.
"According to the Old Dragon King's information, we're going to Zongzhou Qilin Mountain to look for Si Xiang!"
Shi Yu had set his sights on the final Si Xiang. It was said that Si Xiang was the son of First Qilin and Jade Qilin. In terms of seniority, he was considered to be of the same generation as the Nine Sons of Ancestor Dragon.
"By the way, Kui Ox, you've lived in the Eastern Sea for a long time. Do you know anything about the Dragon Clan?"
"For example, what kind of cultivation do the Nine Sons of Ancestor Dragon have?"
Shi Yu walked over to Kui Ox, who was burying his head in a pile of spirit fruits and fighting hard, and asked him.
"Ah, the Nine Sons of Ancestor Dragon?"
"You mean Suan Ni, Ya Zi, and the other seven?"
"Their cultivation is far stronger than mine. They're at least Grand Unity Golden Immortal level or above!"
After saying that, Kui Ox resumed his battle with the spirit fruits. He basically never left Fubo Mountain, and he had hardly seen any of these spirit fruits before, so he wanted to taste every single one...
"Damn!"
"Si Xiang is that powerful? What do I do?"
"A Grand Unity Golden Immortal? How am I supposed to fight him with my Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation?"
Shi Yu squatted by the sea and stared at the boundless horizon, sinking into deep thought. The gap in strength was simply too great.
"Little Yu Zi, isn't it just a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"
"With Brother Pagoda here, can he even harm a hair on your head?"
The Exquisite Pagoda spoke indifferently. It was no exaggeration to say that, at present, it had yet to see anything in the entire prehistoric world capable of breaking through its defenses.
"But Zongzhou Qilin Mountain is the ancestral land of the Qilin Tribe. I'm afraid they might have a Quasi-Saint there..."
What if two or three Quasi-Saints surrounded him and attacked him...
"Forget it. I'd better play it safe~"
"Second Martial Uncle is quite the homebody too. The Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage is enough for him!"
After thinking it over, Shi Yu still felt that Second Martial Uncle usually did not go out much.
Even after he became a Saint, couldn't a Saint travel throughout the prehistoric world with a single thought? Then he would have even less need for a mount!
"Hey, you two, stop eating!"
"Come pull the carriage. We're going back to Kunlun Mountain!"
Shi Yu picked up two stones by the shore and threw them at the two oxen, who were inhaling the food like whirlwinds.
"Coming~" x2
The two of them each took one bite and finished off the spirit fruits on the ground, determined not to waste a single bit of food.
"Let me see Ancestor Dragon's carriage!"
The Purple Gourd at his waist flew out. Within its radiance, the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage condensed into existence. Nine golden dragons shone brilliantly beneath the sunlight, surrounded by an aura of auspiciousness.
And so, the two oxen pulled the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage toward Kunlun Mountain...
If Ao Ping and Ao Ren knew that Shi Yu had backed down, they would certainly be so delighted that they would jump for joy. The Qilin Tribe was out of the running now, while their Dragon Clan had established ties with a future Saint!
Naturally, succeeding himself was gratifying, but seeing his archenemy fail was even more satisfying!
Kunlun Mountain
Beneath the Three Pure Ones' Peak
Inside that thatched courtyard
"How long has our eldest disciple-nephew been gone?"
Tongtian paced back and forth. Without Shi Yu, this little courtyard was, well, genuinely rather boring.
Big Brother was too boring, Second Brother was too rigid, and Eldest Disciple-Nephew was still the best!
"I estimate it's been about a hundred years. The prehistoric world is so vast; who knows where he could have gone?" Yuanshi was also somewhat worried. The prehistoric world was perilous, and human hearts were difficult to fathom.
"Big Brother, that's your disciple. Aren't you worried?"
"Hey, can you two stop pacing around in front of me? You're making my head spin!"
"My Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is with him. I'm not worried at all!"
Taiqing reclined in a rocking chair beneath the immortal tree in the courtyard. Shi Yu had custom-made this rocking chair for him earlier, and the wood had been enthusiastically provided by the Ancestral Witch of Wood.
There was nothing he could do about it. Who had told that Ancestral Witch to lose so many Heavenly materials and earthly treasures to him?
Just then, a golden streak of light pierced through the clouds and headed toward Kunlun Mountain. It was the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage, with the two oxen in front snorting heavily.
"Master, Second Martial Uncle, Third Martial Uncle, I'm back!"
The Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage stopped before the thatched courtyard, and Shi Yu jumped down from the carriage.
"You brat, you've been gone for nearly a hundred years after going out just once. Your wings have grown hard, haven't they?"
Taiqing was old in body but young at heart. He sprang up from the rocking chair like a carp leaping over a gate and hurried out of the courtyard.
In three steps, he crossed two and arrived beside Shi Yu. He removed the Cloud Void Water Fan tucked behind Shi Yu's neck and smacked him with it.
"Hehe, Master, don't be angry!"
"Wasn't I out looking for mounts for you and my uncles?"
Shi Yu scratched his head. He dodged sideways as the fan came at him, then waved his hand, and the Cloud Void Water Fan returned to his grasp.
"Hehe, Master can't hit me~"
The next moment, a cane came swinging straight at his face. Instantly, a miserable scream rang out. Shi Yu clutched his head and crouched beside the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage, wailing.
"Brat, stop pretending!"
"Your master didn't even use any strength!"
Taiqing glanced at his overly dramatic disciple and said helplessly.
"Master, what sharp eyes you have!"
"By the way, Master, look over there. That blue ox!"
Following Shi Yu's pointing finger, Taiqing saw a blue ox lying on the ground and panting heavily. Beside it lay a water buffalo, also panting heavily.
The journey from the Eastern Sea to Kunlun Mountain was far too long. The two oxen had not rested even once along the way.
"A blue ox!"
"Blue oxen are great. They're honest and dependable, much more reliable than you~"
"Master, my heart hurts!"
"How can you say that about your own disciple?"
Taiqing walked over to the blue ox and examined it from head to toe, nodding repeatedly. Blue oxen were good. Blue oxen were steady and reliable. Blue...
But soon, he realized that this blue ox seemed to be somewhat unusual. Why was its cultivation so high?
"Wait, this is the prehistoric species Unicorn Rhinoceros!"
"Master, Old Ox is very well-behaved~"
After saying that, Shi Yu casually took the Purple Gold Red Gourd from Taiqing, poured out two pills, and gave one to each ox.
After swallowing the pills, both oxen instantly returned to peak condition. Unicorn Rhinoceros looked at the old man before him. He figured this must be his master, so he lowered his head slightly and rubbed against Taiqing.
"Greetings, Master. I'm your mount now!"
"Mm-hmm, good ox!"
"From now on, follow this old Daoist."
At that moment, Tongtian and Yuanshi also walked out of the little courtyard. What entered their eyes was a luxurious carriage and an utterly ordinary water buffalo.
Nine five-clawed golden dragons coiled around the carriage. Golden lotus flowers appeared on the wheels, radiating dazzling light as golden lotuses blossomed. As for the water buffalo, its eyes were wide open, and its ox spirit soared to the heavens.
