Questions Before Departure
the next day
After daybreak, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi did not linger in bed. Instead, they quickly packed their clothes and left the cave.
After all, no matter how much you miss those things, you have to finish your work first. Only after you've finished that can you do other things with peace of mind.
They soon found the location of the Dragon Emperor, who was quietly waiting for Xu Xingyu and the other person in his Dragon Emperor Palace.
What's strange is that his wives, the other five Dragon King, are not here. Apart from a few guards, the only person in the entire palace is the Dragon Emperor himself.
To be honest, if it weren't for the goodwill emanating from the people on the Dragon Emperor's side, this scene would feel a bit like something out of a torture interrogation.
Seeing the doubts in Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi's eyes, the Dragon Emperor smiled slightly and said, "My wives are currently with my daughter Sidong, and they are not capable of helping with today's events, so I let them play with her."
"I see." Xu Xingyu nodded and said, "I thought there were other things that needed to be taken care of."
"Haha." The Dragon Emperor laughed, "Although Sidong is Yilina's child and has no blood relation to my other wives, they can nominally be considered her mothers. You know how difficult it is for our Dragon Clan to reproduce, so every newborn receives the love and care of their families."
It seems that the Dragon Emperor's harem is quite harmonious. If she didn't have other things to do, Xu Xingyu really wanted to ask him how he handled so many lovers so that she could use it as a reference. After all, in terms of sheer numbers, he had more girls than the Dragon Emperor.
However, now was not the time for such matters, so after a brief exchange of pleasantries Xu Xingyu got straight to the point. "So, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has a question regarding the Dragon Graveyard..."
"Hmm, I know you've come for this matter." The Dragon Emperor nodded. "Although we entrusted this to you, you must understand that this is extremely dangerous. Even I, Saint Rank being, almost perished because of it. So, if you withdraw now, I won't say anything."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi exchanged a knowing smile and said in unison, "It's alright, we're confident we can solve this problem."
"I'm not so worried about the successor, after all, he fought the ancestor to such an extent. However..." The Dragon Emperor changed the subject, turning to Gu Qiuxi beside him, and said, "I'm not very familiar with this person's strength."
"So you want me to demonstrate my abilities?" Gu Qiuxi asked, frowning.
"Rather than demonstrating strength, I'd like to know if you have the means to control space. Because the problem with our Dragon Graveyard Dragon Graveyard is that other dimensions are trying to descend using it as a reference point. Therefore, a certain degree of control over Power of Space is necessary; otherwise, we can only wait idly by." The Dragon Emperor said in a deep voice, "Normally, only Supreme powerhouses or beings with the rare attribute of spatial power can control space."
"The problem is that, in my perception, your Magic Power has neither reached the realm of Supreme expert nor possesses spatial attributes. If you don't have other means of controlling space, then I think you'd better just wait here."
Xu Xingyu couldn't say anything on Gu Qiuxi's behalf regarding the Dragon Emperor's question. All Gu Qiuxi could do now was prove herself; otherwise, any persuasion she offered would be futile.
Gu Qiuxi didn't say anything, or rather, she felt that it was only a matter of time before others questioned her strength. After all, even though her current cultivation level was considered exceptionally high among humans, it was still insufficient in front of the top experts.
So if anyone dares to question her, she'll show them with her actions that Gu Qiuxi is definitely not just a pretty face!
Suddenly, Gu Qiuxi swung her fist and threw a punch into the air. As her fist moved rapidly, the surrounding space began to distort.
"What is this?!?" Before the Dragon Emperor could continue speaking, Gu Qiuxi continued her actions.
She began to move rapidly, transforming into a golden light. The already distorted space around her was torn apart at that moment, and Gu Qiuxi's figure disappeared. Then, a few seconds later, the golden light reappeared, this time behind the Dragon Emperor!
"Your Dragon Emperor, do you think my control is adequate?" Gu Qiuxi asked calmly.
This action immediately caused a commotion among the guards surrounding the Dragon Emperor, who rushed to Dragon Emperor side to protect him. However, after only a short while, the Dragon Emperor raised one hand and said, "No need."
After speaking, the Dragon Emperor, the guard beside him, turned his gaze back to Gu Qiuxi and sighed, "She really has some amazing methods. I've never seen anyone manipulate space like this before. In a sense, it's really simple and brutal."
Originally, it was thought that this girl was just a guard, but now it seems that the secrets she possesses are no less than those of Xu Xingyu, the Dragon God Inheritor.
You must know that the moment Gu Qiuxi broke through space, he felt a powerful dragon's might emanating from Gu Qiuxi. Although it was not as powerful as Xu Xingyu's dragon might, it was still far greater than the dragon might possessed by him, the Dragon Emperor, or even the Earth Dragon Ancestor.
But where did this girl learn her method of controlling Power of Space? Isn't it a bit too crude?
Xu Xingyu, standing to the side, noticed some drawbacks. As expected, this girl's method of controlling space was probably learned from Di Tian's method, which was to forcibly break through space and then control the space after the break to achieve the effect of spatial movement.
If one had to pinpoint a difference, it would be that Di Tian relied more on the fusion power generated by his Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores Heart to break through space, while Gu Qiuxi relied purely on her formidable physical strength and speed to do so.
It can only be said that Gu Qiuxi is really going further and further down the path of power, and it feels like the two Ultimate Attribute of light and fire on her are completely superfluous, and it wouldn't make much difference if she didn't have them.
Well, as long as she doesn't turn into the kind of girl who's all brawn and no brains, Xu Xingyu has no complaints. After all, one fiery Phoenix is already troublesome enough, and he doesn't know what to do if another one comes along.
Gu Qiuxi simply shrugged and said, "I don't care if the method is crude or not, as long as it's practical. Now that I've proven I have the ability to control space, can you quickly tell us what the specific problems are at your Dragon Graveyard?"
"Sigh, instead of talking, let you see for yourselves."
