Yu Long fiddled with the Heaven Basin Secret Realm for an hour, watching the sky and land bend miraculously. The feeling of manipulating a pocket dimension was much different than he expected.
It was like playing with clay. Of course, in a more complex way.
Soft enough to bend according to your will but will break if you're not careful.
On top of that, Yu Long felt there were more options to explore, like how this Heaven Basin Secret Realm has a season cycle of its own. He also could generate terrains like jungles and deserts.
"How amazing... I wonder if we could go to the beach later." Xia Qingyue watched a sandy beach appear before the snowy mountain.
"Yeah, the beach looks good for a honeymoon." Cang Yue added shortly after. They are clearly going after Yu Long.
Yu Long smiled weakly and replied, "I heard the 13th branch was doing business near a seashore city. Let's visit the nearest beach resort there after this."
"Yey~!" Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue clapped at their hands, doing a victory celebration.
Chu Yueli and Chu Yuechan couldn't help but shake their heads at these young ladies' antics. Although they are jealous, as older women, they don't dare to imagine being this 'brazen' in front of Yu Long.
'But resort...' Chu Yueli thought briefly, imagining a personal time with her young master. 'That doesn't sound bad.'
Only Chu Yuechan was puzzled. Before meeting Yu Long, she lived no different than a monk and focused her heart on becoming an Emperor Profound Realm.
Sometimes, Chu Yuechan cultivated in her room for months, if not a year.
How could monk-like fairy know such a place as a resort or any mortal-like entertainment?
But she was interested now.
Even Jasmine was curious like a cat about this beach resort, wondering how much fun she could have there.
"Anyway, let's focus on the task ahead of us." Yu Long brought out the Evil God's Water Seed, confusing the ladies. "Evil God gave me quite a troublesome mission."
"The Evil God's Water Seed recorded the coordinates to that place."
"That place?" The ladies gave him a weird look.
Yu Long chuckled, "Azure Cloud Continent."
He honestly doesn't think information helps him. He already knew the location of the Azure Cloud Continent thanks to Shadow Realm's exploration squad and his Kaiju.
...
A portal appeared on the sandy beach, revealing a sight of the snowy peak where five individuals jumped out. The team of five is very eye-catching.
One handsome young man and four breathtaking beauties could easily make anyone jealous.
"Thanks, Uda." Yu Long waved his hand.
'Yohoho, it's nothing~!' An invisible hand clapped Yu Long's hand and then disappeared into existence.
Xia Qingyue, Cang Yue, and Chu Yueli have long learned about the Space Walker(Uda)'s existence, but Chu Yuechan and Jasmine were bewildered because a portal appeared out of nowhere.
And a keen person like Jasmine obviously noticed someone 'invisible' was helping them. Even with Jasmine's Divine Sense, she couldn't sense this 'invisible' somebody, as if this being existed in another dimension!
Yu Long stretched and looked at the vast land before his eyes. He could see countless mountains already.
"So, this is the Azure Cloud Continent. I've heard it from Yu Long, but the situation here wasn't that bad. Even the Profound Strength's quality is better than the Blue Wind Imperial City." Cang Yue commented lightly.
Xia Qingyue's mouth twitched, "You shouldn't compare this to your home ground."
"It's alright." Cang Yue giggled as she waved her hand. "The Imperial Family will become much better in the future."
"After all, Yu Long will be the Great Emperor of the Blue Wind Empire!"
"..." Yu Long.
"..." Xia Qingyue.
"..." Chu Yueli.
"..." Chu Yuechan.
"..." Jasmine.
"What? Since I'm the princess of the Blue Wind Empire, isn't it normal for Yu Long to take over the Emperor's position? He's my consort if we talk about technicality..." Cang Yue saw the unfavorable reaction and added immediately.
"I mean, you're not wrong." Yu Long scratched his cheek. "But don't you think me becoming an emperor is such a stretch?"
Cang Yue proudly lifted her nose, "It was just for a brief moment. After that, our children may take your mantle!"
Damn! Even before they were born, Cang Yue already had an Asian Mother's mindset.
"Poor Children." Xia Qingyue shook her head, feeling sorry for Cang Yue's children. As someone with a bad childhood, Xia Qingyue wanted the best for her future children, though she was only sixteen to think that far.
Yes, Xia Qingyue doesn't want her children to experience the same things as her. But that doesn't mean she would spoil them.
"Hmm, someone is here." Chu Yuechan gazed at the distance. She could see a black-clothed man descending from the sky.
Yu Long and others have long discovered this person. So, they waited here.
"Lord Shadow!" The black-clothed man kneeled before Yu Long.
He also greeted Xia Qingyue and others, "Shadow Brides."
Yu Long nodded and asked, "How was the situation so far?"
Hearing the question, the black-clothed man pulled something from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Long with utmost respect before kneeling again.
Yu Long gazed at the scroll silently and grabbed it, reading the content for a minute or so. Everyone could see his expression didn't change until the very end.
"Have you guys explored the Cloud's End Cliff?"
The black-clothed man trembled as he recalled the horror of Cloud's End Cliff. "We did." He answered calmly.
"However, no one came back after entering that place... Even our connection to their Living Armors were cut off."
"The causality?"
"F-Four people so far."
Yu Long rubbed his temple and sighed, "This is my fault."
"No, Lord Shadow, this is not your fault-!" The black-clothed man couldn't bear to see Yu Long blame himself.
"No, this is really my fault. I should have warned you about dangerous places in this continent before sending a whole squad..." Yu Long bitterly continued.
"Just what kind of danger does this Cloud's End Cliff possess? Four Monarchs killed in the mission?" Chu Yueli couldn't help but comment.
It sounds ridiculous because she knew the squad Yu Long sent was a group of Sovereign Profound Realm Experts!
"It's a place with a large number of Ancient Devil Beasts. The weak ones, at least at the level of Divine Origin Realms." Yu Long answered calmly.
Everyone's eyes widened, including Jasmine.
"W-Wait, wait, did you just say the Ancient Devil Beasts??" Jasmine comes out from the Sky Poison Pearl's dimension.
She knew just how dangerous these ancient beasts could be, as they also existed in the upper realm, albeit in the forbidden area.
"Yes." Yu Long remained unfazed. "It's also a place where the Evil God left behind his daughter."
He looked at their shocked expression and added, "Well, don't be too surprised. To add on, Evil God's Wife is none other than Heaven Smithing Devil Emperor."
"WHAT?!" Jasmine screamed in disbelief. Her jaws dropped as she couldn't believe this information.
It is too shocking!
One of the Creation Gods married Heaven Smithing Devil Emperor, the STRONGEST DEVIL OF THE DEVIL RACE!
This title is no empty talk, as a few ancient records described how powerful Heaven Smithing Devil Emperor was.
Jasmine gulped, "Y-You, how could you be so calm?"
Yu Long glanced at Jasmine, "It doesn't matter if my enemies are Gods, Devils, or Buddha themselves. The King of Monsters won't lose..."
"Huh?" Jasmine frowned at Yu Long. She couldn't understand the clue Yu Long had thrown casually.
It's up to her now.
'I'm the only one with a secret, Jasmine. I can't help someone who wouldn't themselves.' Yu Long burned the scroll in his hand.
He looked at the black-clothed man and said, "I'm getting side-tracked, my bad. After the mission, we will hold a proper funeral and compensation to those courageous members."
"But first, lead us to the temporary base."
"Yes, Lord Shadow!" The Shadow Agent responded excitedly. He was 'deeply' touched by Yu Long's decision and quickly led them into the Shadow Realm's Base in the Azure Cloud Continent.
