Indigo Prefecture is located in the northwest of the Blood Peak Continent. It is roughly rectangular in shape running east to west and administers ten cities, two of which are coastal and eight are inland.
It was not particularly prosperous among the twenty-three prefectures on the mainland, and was even considered to be at a lower level.
There are many reasons for this, one of which is the fierce battle currently taking place around the Skyrite Mountains; more importantly, the Indigo Prefecture, as the territory of the "foreign Sovereign"—which once belonged to the four ancestors of the Four Divine Beasts Clan but now belongs to Beirut —has led the Blood Peak Sovereign to intentionally exclude the Indigo Prefecture from the entire continental system.
However, Deity-level Deity-level values. In particular, the top experts in the Infernal Realm do not have a high desire for wealth. The Indigo Prefecture did not suffer from a lack of talent due to its low level of prosperity. On the contrary, due to the widespread fame of the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the presence of Beirut, a master at the Paragon level, many experts came here.
Beirut's strength is enough to suppress the powerful figures within the manor on the surface, but because his direct descendants are weak, it is inevitable that some major forces will make some moves in secret. In particular, regarding the current war between the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Eight Great Clans, many city lords and major clans are secretly supporting the Eight Great Clans.
Therefore, Beirut's request for the Rhine Clan to relocate and assist him was indeed based on this need.
Of the ten cities, Indigo City is undoubtedly the most prosperous, located in the center of the entire prefecture;
Next are two cities, Mier City and Aurore City. The former is closest to the Four Divine Beasts Clan, while the latter is currently under the actual control of the Eight Great Clans. The battle between the two sides requires a large amount of resources, which has led to the accumulation of a great deal of wealth in both cities amidst the bloodshed.
As for the three cities mentioned by Beirut, namely "Azure Lock," "Parting Fire," and "Moonwheel," their level of prosperity is average, even below average. They are currently in a neutral state on the surface, but in reality, they support the Eight Great Clans.
In addition, there are "Vance City", "Hermione City", "Pillarstone City" and "Bottle Falls City", each with its own unique characteristics.
Jason spent ten days reviewing all the materials and gained a general understanding of the situation in Indigo Prefecture.
As "Aurore City" is effectively controlled by the Eight Great Clans, Jason has absolutely no power to shake it, and Beirut didn't mention this matter either; as for the three cities of "Azure Lock", "Parting Fire" and "Moonwheel", since Beirut took the initiative to bring it up, Jason has to make a gesture.
The characteristics displayed by the city lord of Parting Fire City completely countered Jason's; unless Jason used the Sovereign Artifact, Jason would not be able to defeat him. The city lords of the other two cities were of average strength. Jason planned to return to his family and discuss with Delisha before deciding which city to relocate to.
Seven months later, Jason led a group of people to the Skyrite Mountains.
The first thing that catches the eye is four giant sculptures, each as tall as the highest mountain peak.
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise.
Naya had been filled with anxiety throughout the journey, hearing about her family's decline and being hunted by enemies. It wasn't until she saw the four statues that she felt relieved. "I knew it! I knew it! How could our Four Divine Beasts Clan be defeated! We are still the strongest family!"
"They weren't the strongest family even before their decline," Jason thought to himself, but remembering that this was their territory, he ultimately held back.
"The eastern region of the Skyrite Mountains should be the territory of the Azure Dragon Clan," Naya said, having calmed down. "Our base in the Netherworld is modeled after the layout of the Skyrite Mountains."
The Azure Dragon Clan comprised the majority of the group, Metallic Airship flew straight toward the Azure Dragon Clan's territory in the Skyrite Mountains.
As the distance closed, a colossal dragon, winding and coiling for over ten thousand miles, lay across the mountain range. The entire body of the Azure Dragon was a passageway, surrounded by numerous castles and mansions. Dragon scales were carved into the dragon's body, and the entire passageway radiated azure light. From a distance, it looked like a gigantic and terrifying azure Azure Dragon!
Before the dragon's head, the largest golden castle resembled a dragon pearl.
"This is the origin of our Four Ultimate Warriors?" Wharton sighed.
"This is the biggest statue I've ever seen! This Four Divine Beasts Clan is really rich!" Monica didn't yet feel a sense of belonging to the Azure Dragon Clan, and was simply amazed.
"This is our family!" Naya corrected.
"As expected of the renowned Four Divine Beasts Clan, their sheer presence far surpasses any family I've ever seen." Bessalie was somewhat knowledgeable, but the Four Divine Beasts Clan was a top family in the myriad realms back then, and she had never been here before.
Originally, they were the Four Divine Beasts Clan, which traversed the four Higher Planes and the seven divine realms. Even in decline, they would not forget the glory of their past clan. Therefore, the construction of their clan's old lair was naturally of great importance.
After flying for quite a while, we finally arrived at the foot of the Skyrite Mountains.
Looking at the large number of soldiers in blue armor patrolling and standing guard on the "Dragon Path" in the distance, one could tell at a glance that there were at least ten thousand of these warriors, and all of them were Highgod.
For a moment, everyone was at a loss for words to express their shock.
Jason glanced at Freya, who immediately sensed he had seen her and gave him a charming smile.
Jason sensed something was off about the other person, but ultimately suppressed his anger. "This woman—never mind, it's good that Beirut confirmed there were no problems."
"Who goes there!" A loud shout came from afar.
On the wide Dragon Path, ten of the patrolling warriors flew over. The captain in charge even shouted, "This is the important territory of my Azure Dragon Clan—oh? People from the Vermilion Bird Clan?"
Naya had already transformed and went to meet her, explaining her situation.
A few minutes later.
"You've had a hard time getting back to your family from the Netherworld. I'll send someone to take you back," the patrol leader comforted him.
Naya didn't forget the people behind her. "These are people from the Yulan Plane. Please help us find their relatives from that branch of the family."
Veronica, Monica, and Wharton bowed slightly before revealing their Dragon Transformation forms.
"The Yulan Branch? A few people from this branch just came a while ago."
Wharton realized, "Could it be my older brother?"
Monica placed a hand on Wharton's shoulder and said to the chief, "Please, Your Excellency, lead us to our families."
"Okay, this way."
As the leader walked, he said, "To my shame, I had never heard of the Yulan Continent branch when that brother came before. It was only after our scribe, Senior Hahnemann, testified that I learned it was the youngest branch of my Redding Clan — the Yulan Branch. I've heard you call yourselves the Baruch Clan."
"The youngest branch?" The group exchanged glances.
Jason cautioned, "On the Yulan Continent, a history of several thousand years is considered ancient. But in the Infernal Realm, there are countless powerful individuals who have cultivated for over a hundred million years."
The more lively Monica looked at Bessalie.
Bessalie shook her head. "Don't look at me. My father is indeed over a billion years old, but I've only been born for a little over 300,000 years."
Freya chimed in, "Looks like I'm the oldest among us."
Monica tried to ask the man's age, but Jason grabbed her arm.
"Take care of the important matters first."
