Fang Yun had long since deduced that Ao Zhen had been fiercely competitive in life. After becoming a battle soul in death, he would never have been content and would surely have sought out a body to strengthen himself. After so many years of nourishment in the Dragon Soul World, even his advancement to Great Sage would have been unsurprising.
Of the Equatorial Ring, Northern Polar Sky City, and the Great Ocean Vortex, the Equatorial Ring was in outer space and had not been incorporated into the Dragon Soul Battlefield.
Northern Polar Sky City was the center of the entire Outer City, and also where the fighting was fiercest.
As for the Great Ocean Vortex, it was purely a battlefield for Half-Sages, with scarcely any beings below that rank.
Thus, Fang Yun had chosen the Candle Dragon Mountains as his first foothold. Even knowing that Great Sages of the Dragon Race were in Northern Polar Sky City and the Great Ocean Vortex, he had not gone to seek their protection.
However, precisely because Ao Zhen was fierce and warlike, battles in the Candle Dragon Mountains were extremely frequent. That was the only drawback, but compared with Northern Polar Sky City or the Great Ocean Vortex, this place was much safer.
This was not his final choice, but it was unquestionably the best choice for a beginning.
Dragon City had always been the place Fang Yun dreamed of reaching. He had begun preparing as soon as he learned that Dragon City might open, and some of his actions in Burial Saint Valley had also been undertaken with Dragon City in mind.
When the two reached the entrance to Candle Dragon Hall, Fang Yun descended from the Marquis Wu Chariot and followed behind the Black Dragon Emperor on Walking the Blue Clouds.
