He was no match for Zhou Yan's immense power. However, still unwilling to accept defeat, he took out his communication jade token and informed his father, Old Ancestor Han, of the situation, hoping his father would take action to kill Zhou Yan and satisfy his burning hatred.
Just then, Old Ancestor Han's cold voice echoed, "If you want to kill him, cripple yourself first!"
Han Haoyu was stunned. A moment later, his face lit up with joy. "Father, then I am relieved. I will deal with Zhou Yan sooner or later!"
With that, Han Haoyu hung up the communication jade token, a sinister sneer playing on his lips.
Not long after Han Haoyu disconnected, Old Ancestor Han's voice suddenly sounded, "There's no need to send anyone else to the East Sea Continent. That Zhou Yan has already left the East Sea Continent. The flying demonic beasts going to the East Sea Continent are only four-star flying demonic beasts. Han Haoyu, get back here immediately!"
"What? He left the East Sea Continent and went to the West Sea Continent?" Han Haoyu was shocked beyond belief, unable to comprehend it. "Impossible! How could this be?"
"My patience is limited. If you don't want to come back, then stay on the East Sea Continent forever!" Old Ancestor Han's voice grew grim.
Hearing this, Han Haoyu trembled violently. "I'll return immediately!" he said reluctantly.
With that, Han Haoyu put away the communication jade token. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the East Sea Continent.
...
"Hoo!"
When Zhou Yan reappeared on the East Sea Continent, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The East Sea Continent was not far from the East Sea Dragon Palace. Traveling on a four-star flying demonic beast, Zhou Yan only took a little over two months to reach the skies above the western sea of the East Sea Continent.
This sea area, situated between the West Sea and the North Sea, had beautiful, pale blue waters. The spiritual energy here was also more abundant than on the East Sea Continent, making this area another important marine region. It was an ideal place for cultivation, attracting many powerful cultivators, including some at the Transcendence stage.
"It seems that on the West Sea Continent, only those super forces at the Transcendence stage are qualified to establish a sea city," Zhou Yan mused to himself. In his eyes, these super forces were akin to kingdoms on the East Sea Continent. In this world, only nations and factions could rule. Just like China, a vast country with hundreds of millions of people, yet no one could be an emperor within it. The East Sea Continent, on the other hand, was an independent kingdom. Apart from super forces and super families, no other power dared to contend with them.
"Never mind that for now, I'll explore the ocean and see if I can find more powerful sea beasts!" With this thought, Zhou Yan immediately steered his flying demonic beast towards the depths of the ocean.
Along the way, Zhou Yan encountered numerous sea beasts. His strength was immense, and within the seabed, he was a true overlord. Therefore, these sea beasts dared not approach him. Zhou Yan pressed on, constantly searching for treasures on the seabed. In less than half a day, he discovered many precious medicinal herbs and even a refining material called Purple Gold Profound Iron.
"Huh? There's actually such a good thing?" Zhou Yan's eyes lit up, and he excitedly looked at the dark mass of ore. This dark ore, with its black and red hues, emanated a faint, chilling glint that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Purple Gold Profound Iron!" Zhou Yan exclaimed, "I can't believe I'd find Purple Gold Profound Iron here. What luck!" He eagerly picked up the ore and examined it closely. Purple Gold Profound Iron was a top-grade ore for forging flying swords, its hardness comparable to divine weapons. Its value far exceeded three hundred high-grade spirit crystals, possibly even more.
"With Purple Gold Profound Iron, I can forge more flying swords!" Zhou Yan thought excitedly. "This time, I've really struck gold!"
"No! I must find a way to earn enough spirit crystals quickly! Otherwise, I won't be qualified to participate in the East Sea Dragon Palace's selection!" Zhou Yan resolved inwardly.
On the East Sea Continent, besides the Dragon family, there was also the Dragon Palace. The East Sea Dragon Palace was an extremely powerful entity, so much so that even super forces and super families showed it respect.
"I want to undergo the trial at the Dragon family, gain the recognition of the Dragon Palace, and then become a disciple of the Dragon Palace!" Zhou Yan's gaze burned with desire.
...
The Dragon family on the East Sea Continent! One of the strongest forces on the entire East Sea Continent! The Dragon family resided beside the East Sea Dragon Palace. They were of dragon bloodline, and dragons were the guardians of the Dragon Palace. Within the Dragon family, there were two divine dragons, a green one and a white one! The Dragon family itself was led by the supreme leader, possessing peak Supreme realm strength! The East Sea Dragon Palace was second only to the Dragon family, boasting peak ninth-tier Supreme realm experts! The Dragon Palace was a symbol of the dragon race and one of the overlords of the East Sea Continent, a being feared by all super forces.
"I wonder if the people of the Dragon Palace have any prejudice against the dragon bloodline? After all, the dragon race is a mysterious and terrifying race!" Zhou Yan thought with fervent eyes. While the dragon race possessed the strongest bloodline on the East Sea Continent, they were also incredibly common. Within the Dragon Palace, only those of the direct dragon bloodline were considered truly high-tier life forms, possessing the divine dragon's blood and the ability to cultivate! Being noticed by the Dragon Palace and becoming a disciple meant a meteoric rise to success. The Dragon Palace's immense power stemmed not only from its strength but also from its Holy King, who possessed peak eighth-tier Supreme realm power, equivalent to the peak experts of the East Sea Continent!
"I wonder if I will be recognized this time at the Dragon Palace and be accepted as a disciple?" Zhou Yan pondered. The Dragon family was an overlord of the East Sea Continent, possessing immense strength. Furthermore, the Dragon family had a Holy King and a ninth-tier Supreme realm expert guarding it. Such power was equivalent to a super sect. "If I can stand out in this selection competition and enter the Dragon Palace, it will be like having a powerful ally!"
