Heading Inland, Di Tian's Bloodline Sense

The day passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

That morning, Huang Long packed his things, including changes of clothes and the whale glue he needed.

He stuffed everything into the storage soul tool on his wrist.

This storage soul tool was a gift from Bo Saixi.

It contained a spacious fifty cubic meters of space and could even store living creatures.

After packing up, Huang Long came to the foot of Sea God Mountain to bid Bo Saixi farewell.

Bo Saixi did not show herself. Standing at the foot of the mountain, he called out, "Teacher, your disciple is leaving for the mainland."

"Rest assured, I will take care of everything you instructed me to do!"

As his words fell, a gentle voice drifted down leisurely from the mountaintop.

"Go. Leave early and return early."

Huang Long nodded solemnly. He clasped his hands together and respectfully bowed toward the mountaintop before turning to leave.

Meanwhile, Bo Saixi stood atop the mountain, silently watching him depart. She lowered her eyes and let out a faint sigh, then turned and returned to the Sea God Temple.

After leaving Sea God Mountain, Huang Long hurried to Sea God Island's dock.

To his surprise, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos were all standing there, as though they had come specifically to wait for him.

Huang Long paused for a moment, but quickly recovered. He walked over calmly and asked, "Why is everyone here?"

"We came to see the three of you off, and to give you something while we're at it," Sea Horse Douluo said with a smile.

Then, the other Sacred Pillar Douluos each took out the things they had prepared.

There were soul power recovery potions they had made, antidotes, leather armor fashioned from the hides of deep-sea soul beasts, and more.

All of it was meant to help Huang Long protect himself.

Sea Dragon Douluo was displeased at the sight. "Hey, you five, did you forget that Sea Maiden and I are going with him?"

Sea Maiden Douluo folded her arms and said indignantly, "Exactly! Sea Dragon is already a level ninety-seven Super Douluo, and I'm level ninety-four myself!"

"Could it be that we can't even keep the Holy Son safe?"

Sea Spear Douluo said gravely, "Better safe than sorry. The mainland is far more complicated than we imagine. It's best to be fully prepared."

Huang Long nodded slightly and placed all the gifts into his storage soul tool.

"Thank you, uncles."

"I'll be going now."

"Go on. Be careful."

Sea Spear Douluo and the others waved as they watched Huang Long summon Yinglong's martial soul and merge with it, then spread his dragon wings and soar into the sky.

Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo quickly circulated their soul power and took to the air as well, following close behind.

The three of them did not take a ship. Instead, they skimmed over the sea and flew straight toward the mainland!

The sea breeze brushed across his face.

Gazing at the boundless ocean, Huang Long comfortably narrowed his eyes and stretched his limbs, loosening his stiff muscles.

Being able to fly freely like this felt absolutely incredible!

The sky was vast, the sea breeze rushed toward him, and an endless expanse of water lay beneath his feet.

He felt as though nothing in the world could stop him anymore.

Sea Maiden Douluo turned to glance at him and smiled. "Holy Son, are you really that happy?"

Sea Dragon Douluo grinned. "He was probably cooped up on the island for six years and nearly went stir-crazy."

"Yeah!"

Huang Long nodded with a smile, admitting it. Then he said, "Uncle Sea Dragon, Sister Sea Maiden, how about we have a race?"

Sea Dragon Douluo exchanged a glance with Sea Maiden Douluo. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, "Oh? What do you want to race?"

Huang Long raised a hand and pointed ahead. "Let's see who reaches land first. What do you think?"

"Holy Son, are you sure?" Sea Dragon Douluo asked.

Huang Long nodded seriously. "I'm sure! I want to see just how fast I can be when I go all out."

"Alright, then let's begin!"

Sea Dragon Douluo chuckled and immediately circulated his soul power, shooting forward.

With a whoosh!

Wherever he passed, the violent airflow plowed a long white trail across the sea, sending waves churning outward on both sides.

"Holy Son, hurry up! Sea Dragon is getting away!" Sea Maiden Douluo laughed sweetly and hurried after him.

Seeing this, Huang Long swiftly activated his third soul ring skill, Wind Control Technique.

The sea breeze around him swiftly gathered toward his body, as though a giant hand were holding him aloft and carrying him forward.

The dragon wings on his back beat once, kicking up towering waves across the sea as he stayed close behind the other two.

Whoosh—!

Three figures chased one another across the sea like three arrows loosed from the bowstring.

The airflow pressed three parallel white streaks into the surface of the sea, and the surging fluctuations of soul power made the sea soul beasts tremble in fear.

They left the sea wind far behind them, and even the waters below blurred into a swath of rapidly retreating blue.

Who knew how much time passed.

At last, they saw land.

The outline of a city gradually came into view.

Sea Dragon Douluo explained, "We've arrived. This is Vast Sea City, currently the largest coastal city on the mainland."

"Once we reach Vast Sea City, we'll have entered the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Vast Sea City."

Huang Long looked at the city, his face breaking into wild delight.

He had finally reached the mainland.

Spirit Hall, Tang San, Tang Hao, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue...

Their names and faces flashed through his mind one by one.

People he had once only been able to see in novels or anime—he was finally going to meet them in reality.

Huang Long could hardly contain his anticipation.

With that thought, his wings beat, and he shot toward Vast Sea City amid a fierce gale.

Meanwhile.

Notting City, Fasinuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire.

Four people sat inside a room somewhere in the city.

Three men and one woman.

All three men were burly. The middle-aged man seated in the center was handsome and resolute, with a tall, straight frame and broad shoulders. He wore a black robe patterned with golden lines.

Of the other two men, one was a hulking brute, while the other had a head of red hair.

As for the fourth person, she was a little girl who looked no older than her teens.

Her black hair was braided into a scorpion braid that hung down her back, and she wore a pink dress. Her plump little face looked especially adorable.

They were Di Tian and the others, sent by the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena—who had been awakened by that dragon's roar—to search for the reincarnation of the Dragon God.

The four sat there in silence, not one of them speaking.

The atmosphere in the room immediately grew heavy.

The burly brute could no longer endure it. He slammed his palm onto the table, shattering it into pieces.

"Search, search, search! We've been searching for six years, and we still don't have a single clue!"

"Our lord never explained anything clearly. She just had us wandering the human world like headless flies for six years. When is this ever going to end?!"

The red-haired man turned to look at him and sighed helplessly.

"Yeah. Over these past six years, we've practically turned this entire region upside down, haven't we? Yet we haven't even caught a glimpse of the Dragon God's reincarnation."

At this point, he turned toward the middle-aged man. "Di Tian, what else did our lord tell you? We can't keep searching aimlessly like this!"

Di Tian remained silent.

In truth, he did not know much about the Dragon God's reincarnation either.

The Silver Dragon King had only told him that the Dragon God's reincarnation was in the west. Beyond that, she had told him nothing.

So he was equally helpless.

Yet just as he was at his wits' end, he suddenly sensed the bloodline within his body begin to boil.

It was a throb originating from the depths of his bloodline, as though something far away had awakened it.
