From Fish To Dragon 151 Under The Sea I

Two of them were huge eastern divine dragons, while one was a smaller dragon of western tales. One gold, one silver, and a black dragon were soaring through the skies at a breathtaking speed.

Soaring through the clouds, three youths are able to be seen if one watched them from above. Two exceedingly handsome young men, and an extremely beautiful young woman with long pure white hair.

They each sat on top of a dragon, and silently looked downward through the clouds, and down below to the ground, as though they were searching for something. This continued for hours, with nothing catching their attention.

Blasting through the skies, they pa.s.sed through the area in which they had been through before, almost completely ignoring it. Only after a few hours of flying, did they come down to the ground for a break.

The break didn't last long, just twenty minutes later, the three youths took the skies again and continued heading forward. When they took off, hidden lifeforms under the ground slowly resurfaced once they had left the area.

In the sky, a certain young man in particular crossed his arms and closed his eyes. The wind blew his hair, as he slowly appeared as though he was becoming one with the wind. Sitting on its head, the dragon below flew at a pace that wouldn't affect its master, letting him peacefully journey through the sky.

This continued for a few days. Only short breaks were taken in between each flight, otherwise they would continue heading forward without stopping. After a few days, they finally arrived at their destination. Heading inside a cave, the three youths moved the stone door, arriving in a world full of sea life.

The three youths pa.s.sed through, sealing off the entrance, as they entered the world of the seafolk. There, they could breath as though on land, while still requiring to swim. Surrounding the two young men, familiar fish they had seen when they arrived previously got close to them.

"We will visit the king." Ye Qin said. The fish nodded, understanding him, as they started swimming off in a certain location. w.a.n.g Tao and Long Bing Rong swam behind him, as the three headed for the kingdom of the seafolk.

*********

"Welcome back. I see you have brought a companion along with you this time." the deep voice of a male seafolk welcomed. A huge mermen sat on his throne, facing his visitors. Beside him, his wife and daughter sat quietly without uttering a word.

"Your majesty, we came back to continue exploring the ruins, and solve your problem as well. How is the situation with the Northern n kingdom?" Ye Qin asked respectfully.

"I thank you for your offer, but I believe we seafolk should solve our own problems ourselves. You are guests, and shouldn't get involved, I do not want to delay or endanger you."

"As for the situation, it's not improving. The Northern kingdom has allied with outsiders, preparing to launch an all out war against the other kingdoms. Soon, war will erupt between the two sides."

"If I may add, I remember you spoke of wanting to repair the relations between humans and the seafolk. What better situation can this be done, than by being allies in war?" w.a.n.g Tao replied.

The mermen king looked at Ye Qin and w.a.n.g Tao. His expression was serious, and looked at them with a soul piercing gaze. Suddenly, his mouth curved and a smile was struck.

"Bwahahahahahahahah!" He burst out in laughter, without paying attention to his image as a king. "You're right, then I will agree to this alliance. From my estimate, they will be attacking in a month at earliest and two months at the latest, you can join in the battle if you make it back in time. I won't blame you if you don't make it, considering the amount of ruins; who knows how long it will take to explore them all." the king said solemnly.

Ye Qin and w.a.n.g Tao nodded. "Well, you can stay here before heading off if you'd like, what do you think?" the king asked.

"We'll take your offer, thank you, your majesty." the two brothers replied. "Good, then the rooms you used previously will be opened again, another room will be prepared for our young lady guest here."

Leaving the throne room, Ye Qin, w.a.n.g Tao and Long Bing Rong went into their rooms. Inside, Ye Qin lay on the bed on his arms. As he was thinking to himself, he slowly drifted asleep.

"Leave now! Before they arrive, we will hold them back."

The fuzzy scene of a dark figure speaking was seen. A single sentence was spoken, as a woman took flight into the air and soared across the skies, in the opposite direction. Her body turned into a beam of light and disappeared in an instant.

The dark figure who spoke, was obviously a man. His features couldn't be made out. Another dark figure stood beside him, they both stood side-by-side, as a weapon appeared in their hands.

Holding it by their sides, the two dark figures faced the opposite direction, where two women had escaped far into the distance. The two dark figures awaited the arrival of their enemies, which numbered over a hundred.

"You cannot escape, neither will the women. If only you had followed my desires back then, now this is all I can do. Do not blame me." a voice was transmitted from thousands of kilometers away.

In an instant, a figure appeared in the skies opposite the two dark figures. It was obvious that the figure was the one who had spoken to them. Behind him, hundreds of figures, all wielding great power appeared by his side, pointing their weapons at the two dark figures.

"Enough talk, let's do this." one of the dark figures spoke. His aura surged, as his sword was held by his side, flying straight to the enemy. Following him, the other dark figure pointed his sword forward.

Both sides engaged in a fierce battle. Suddenly, the fuzzy scene changed. Some time had pa.s.sed, the ending of the fierce battle was now revealed. Two dark figures, their hair messy as blood dripped from their bodies and sword.

Across from them, only a few of the enemies remained. Both sides turned into beams of light, uttering inaudible words, as the scene completely disappeared.

Huff!

Opening his eyes, Ye Qin was jolted awake. Looking around, he recalled where he was, while sweat drenched his clothes. It had been since he had such a dream. It was similar to what had happened a year ago, only this time, a different scene appeared.

Suddenly, his smart.w.a.tch received a notification. Tapping to open it, he realized it was from w.a.n.g Tao. The message read; 'Boss, I had a dream again, just like what happened last year.'

Ye Qin quickly replied, 'It seems like these dreams aren't a coincidence, they seem to be telling us something. Possibly a memory, but not ours. It could mean a couple of things, either a message from an inheritance; or memories of the past…'

Ding!

'Memories of past lives? Even if it were long ago, there shouldn't have been any humans who could cultivate. Unless… there must be a reason why novels had a base, as well as myths. Or, it could possibly be from a parallel universe.' w.a.n.g Tao replied.

'En.' Ye Qin answered. That night, the two of them sent a few more messages before heading to sleep. Dwelling without a clear answer wouldn't do them any good, they already had a rough idea of what was happening to them.

If they were right, then they would need to get stronger even faster than they had planned. From a quick a.n.a.lysis, as well as their knowledge from reading novels, it was obvious that something big would happen, something that may affect the entire world.

************

Leaving the seafolk kingdom, Ye Qin, w.a.n.g Tao and Long Bing Rong headed off to explore some ruins. Looking at the map, they chose to explore all of the closest ruins they could find.

The three headed hydra appeared by their side shortly. Long Bing Rong glanced at it, before returning to her indifferent look. Ye Qin ordered it to head off to some ruins along with another dragon to make their search faster.

Glancing at Long Bing Rong, Ye Qin moved back slightly. "Erm, you might be a bit surprised." w.a.n.g Tao told her.

Suddenly, five magic circles appeared in front of Ye Qin. Each of them were a different color, while a surging powerful aura of suppression and overbearing might was coming from within.

At the same time, five different colored koi fish leaped out from the magic circles. All the nearby sea creatures swum away in fear. Long Bing Rong looked at Ye Qin, then to the five koi.

It seemed like she wasn't as surprised as they thought she would be. "She must have a powerful soul." w.a.n.g Tao thought.

The five koi all swam around briefly, as they quickly transformed into twenty meter long divine dragons. The five dragons looked at Ye Qin, he transmitted his message to them, as they all took off in a different direction each.

The three headed hydra followed the fire dragon, since it had the most disadvantaged element amongst the five, it would come as support for the dragon, allowing it to suppress the enemy and clear the ruins as fast as the others.

Next, the Qiulong and Yinglong were called out. The Blackgold Python Tiger and the Tiger G.o.d's daughter was also called out. The flame cow stayed within w.a.n.g Tao's storage s.p.a.ce, keeping it there to produce its special milk.

The Dark Star Dragon, as well as the Ethereal Moon Dragon were both summoned. The three out them rode their partners, heading out towards three different directions at once.

Ye Qin would search the middle few, while w.a.n.g Tao searched the right, and Long Bing Rong the left. This way, they would clear out the ruins faster, crossing them off the list.

It didn't take long for Ye Qin to arrive at the first ruins. Entering, the Qiulong and Yinglong shrunk in order to fit inside, they stayed beside Ye Qin as the three of them swam deeper within.

The ruins were somewhat like a cave, just like the others that he had explored. Looking around, it wasn't dark, the walls had stones that were glowing, providing him with light.

As he continued forward, he realized he was in a maze. He wouldn't be able to clear this maze as quickly, the entire place was filled with water, while he could breathe within; it slowed down his speed considerably. Even on the Qiulong, it's speed would also decrease as well.

Rather than wasting time exploring the entire ruins, the Yinglong's power was channeled. It's body was enveloped in silver light, as it along with Ye Qin and the Qiulong were teleported randomly within the maze.

When they arrived, he found himself surrounded by walls, almost identical to his previous location. Even the pathways were in the same place, only the stones were formed slightly different, which meant he hadn't been teleported back to his original location.
