Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

?1684 Orders

The Dragon Emperor flew out of the teleportation building in the Darkstone City with his son beside him.

The man felt agitated so very much. He had been so close to getting the sword again, and once again it slipped from his hands. And he didn’t even get to completely kill the King that he had wanted to.

“Go and find out about the talisman,” he ordered the Crown Prince.

Long Fangyu nodded meekly and quickly made his way to the talisman guild. He had told his father about the talismans Zhan Luoyang had received just the day before, and his father seemed to believe it was that talisman that had been used there.

He wondered if it was a mistake to tell his father what had happened the last few days exactly.

The Crown Prince still found himself conflicted on what was the right thing to do there. His duties and responsibilities clashed with one another, making him hesitant to be on either side.

Quickly, he returned back to his father after finding out what the Emperor wanted to know. “You were right father. She did buy a few teleportation talismans,” he answered him.

“Do you know where he went then?” the Dragon Emperor asked patiently.

“No,” the Crown Prince answered. “It was set to randomly send the person to the east, with little care for where they appeared. The randomness was by design it seemed. But more than likely, if someone used the talisman, they would appear far out in the ocean.”

The Dragon Emperor slowly nodded, a thoughtful look appearing on his face. “So there is a more than likely chance that he fell into the ocean,” he said. “I should be considering him dead in the state he is in, but I cannot take any chances. I must kill him no matter what.”

The Crown Prince looked at his father. Even now, the man wasn’t worried that he had attacked the king of a different continent, and only seemed to be worried that he didn’t get to kill him properly.

“Tell the Scale legion to comb through the entire ocean and find him,” the Dragon Emperor made the command. “He had a strong body cultivation, so the chances of him being alive is high. So, if he’s alive, I want to see him back here.”

“What if he’s dead?” the Crown Prince asked.

“If he’s dead, then I want to see his corpse,” the man said. “If he’s eaten, I want the sea beast that took him down. That boy has enough mysteries about him that even gaining the tiniest bit of it would be very helpful for us.”

The Dragon Emperor nodded to himself before going back into the teleportation building to teleport back to the Dragon Capital. The Crown Prince followed behind him, giving him distance.

The Crown Prince followed all the way back to the Dragon Palace while giving out commands that the Dragon Emperor had made. He sent commands to the heads to command the Scale legion to search for the King of the Southern Continent in secret.

He let them know what his status was like and how they should go about finding him.

After following his father for a while, he stopped when the Dragon Emperor did too.

“Those 2 dozen alchemists and guards of his are still in the Alchemy school, are they not?” the Dragon Emperor asked with a thoughtful look on his face.

“I… I believe they still are there,” the Crown Prince said.

“Good, make the elders there confine those people to the school. No one is allowed to leave or talk to each other. They are also to not contact the outer world while they’re there.”

“That’s…” the Crown Prince felt a little hesitant, but he had to give up in the end. “I will pass along that message.”

And he did.

He hated himself again for being a coward and not questioning his father, but the part of him that was a Crown Prince coldly thought through things and knew that this was the best way to deal with the situation.

They arrived inside the palace, at the hall that his father always liked to remain at in his free time.

The Dragon Emperor lay down on the couch to relax from everything that had happened that day and started to relax.

However, the Crown Prince couldn’t find himself relaxing at all. In fact, he was more stressed than even when he asked Zhan Luoyang for her hand in marriage.

“Father, what are we going to do about Huan?” the Crown Prince asked. “Are we going to let him be like this?”

He hoped the answer was yes, for some reason unknown to him.

“I will send some to find him,” the Dragon Emperor said. “But our first priority must be the dying King. Once I get rid of that king… I can finally feel safe.”

Long Fangyu frowned and thought about what Alex had spoken about while dying. “Father,” he called out mid-

contemplation on whether or not to bring up this topic. His mind said he needed to keep it quiet, but his heart said he needed to know what was going on.

His heart won.

“Is the Azure Dragon truly dead?” he asked.

“Hmm?” the Dragon Emperor turned to look at the Crown Prince and scoffed. “How could you not figure out that after all this time? I thought you were better than your brother when it came to these sorts of things.”

The Crown Prince felt hurt by his father’s words, but this was not the right time to show it. He steeled his resolve and continued.

“And you killed him?” he asked his father. He remembered Alex’s words and how his father had killed the Azure Dragon. His father had rejected those claims, but… maybe it was true.

“Of course, I didn’t,” the Dragon Emperor quickly answered. “Do you think I am stupid to try and kill an Immortal dragon?”

“N-no,” the Crown Prince replied quickly. “I just thought… you said you didn’t intend to kill him, so that means…”

“He died…” the Dragon Emperor got silent for a second, recalling the memories of that day. “He died after he tried to kill me. He attacked, and a few moments later the Heavens killed him because he dared to attack me.”

“He… attacked you?” the Crown Prince asked. “How are you still alive?”

“I shouldn’t be,” the Dragon Emperor answered. “But I am… thanks to your mother.”

“Mother?” The Crown Prince asked. “What do you mean?”

“Your mother jumped in to save me,” the Dragon Emperor sighed as he said. “If not for her, I would be dead right now.”

“I’m sorry, what? Mother died to… no, mother died to her tribulation lightning,” he said hastily.

“We lied,” the Dragon Emperor said, not bothering to explain anymore.

“But why?” the Crown prince asked. “Why would she die? Why would the Azure Dragon attack you? Mother went to break through, so why did it all happen? It makes no sense?”

“It all makes sense,” the Dragon Emperor said. “Everything makes sense. You just can’t make sense of it by yourself.”

“Then help me understand,” the Crown Prince shouted.

The Dragon Emperor gave him a weird look before nodding slowly. “Fine, if you want to know, you shall know,” he said. “I will tell you everything.”
