Chapter 193 - The Strongest Being Under The Heavens
"Young Master, it seems that you are quite interested in the Sky Heavens Restaurant. Why don't you go there with us tomorrow? We have some business there after all." Boride suggested.
"It would be a pleasure." Davion agreed without hesitation. He was eager to see what they really sold. It would be better if he could find pills that were useful for Domain Realm Experts.
"Haha, it's nothing." Boride laughed.
"Now, can you elaborate what you meant by earlier? I didn't get it when you said that the Black Tortoise Clan is similar to my Phoenix Clan on the outside. Is there more to it?" Davion asked.
."Indeed. The missing page in the book you showed me must have also contained this information." Boride guessed.
"Is that so?" Davion glanced back at the book cover and realized that it was a book containing general details about the territories of the Demon Beast World.
"Haiz, it's embarrassing. I didn't even know what I was reading." Due to that woman, his mind had never been in the book.
"Going through it for a while, you must be thinking why the Black Tortoise Clan have fewer territories, don't you?" Boride knew his thoughts.
"Of course." Davion nodded. This was the thing that caught his attention at first when seeing Anders' map. The same goes for the Dragon Clan.
"Actually, it's not a secret that one needs to be wary about. Almost everyone knows it. Even your Vermillion tribe should. But I don't understand why they didn't tell you." Boride was confused. However, he didn't ask him, thinking that there might be some reasons behind it.
Davion became grateful as a result. He saved him the trouble of spewing bullshit once again.
"The Black Tortoise Clan has established themselves deep inside the water that surrounds our land. Not only that, but they have built many cities and favorable places deep down with their terrifying strength. Many underwater tribes live there." Boride explained.
"There are even tribes as strong as the Golden Lion Tribe and the Six-Armed Ape Tribe. The best example is the Heaven Swallowing Whale Tribe. From what I have heard they might even be stronger than them." Brycen, who hadn't spoken for a while finally spoke.
"Yeah, that's why underestimating the Black Tortoise Clan is just seeking death. Moreover, nobody knows how big their territories are as outsiders are forbidden to enter there." Boride shook his head.
"Hasn't anybody tried to trespass there and gather intel?" Davion was confused. The Black Tortoise Clan appeared to be too terrifying. What if they were preparing for battle against the terrestrial tribes?
"It isn't easy to do so. The water pressure is tremendous at the bottom. Thus, our mobility is restricted there. Even though you can use your Qi to ignore it, the underwater creatures find it far more comfortable there. They can recover their Qi endlessly by absorbing the limitless water elementary particles present." Boride reasoned.
"Furthermore, what do you think their Domain Realm Experts can do there?" Brycen added.
"Damn." Davion cursed as he didn't dare to imagine that scenario. The true strength of Domain Realm lay in manipulating the surrounding elements. So, with the huge amount of water at hand, they can easily crush their enemies like flies.
"Also, that place is more brutal than you can imagine. Their tribes battle against each other and the winner devours the loser party. This is similar to the Devil World. It takes the law of the jungle to a whole new level." Brycen looked solemn.
Davion agreed and became fearful of that place. He also wanted to stay away from it.
"Nonetheless, we don't have to be so frightened. The White Tiger Clan here is no pushover. On land, The Black Tortoise can't do much against them." Brodie was confident.
"In addition, there is the Dragon Clan too; the most formidable and the ones that everyone acknowledges to be the strongest. In the sky, land or seas, they are unstoppable everywhere." Brycen sang praises for them wholeheartedly.
"They are that strong?" Davion was amazed as the territories they possessed didn't show that. So, like the Black Tortoise Clan, there must be something more to them. Thinking this, he asked them in curiosity.
"Needless to say, they also have hidden territories and cities. However, unlike the Black Tortoise Clan, they have established them high up in the sky. They are arrogant and disdain everything below." Brodie replied with a wry smile on his face.
"My God! How can they be so cocky?" Davion was in disbelief.
"Yeah, this is the reason why they don't have a good reputation. But we can't do anything about it. After all, they have the strength to back it up." Brycen answered.
"Speaking of them, do you guys know about the Royal Bloodlines of the Dragon Clan?" Since Ryland couldn't answer him yesterday, he decided to gather knowledge from these baboons. He was certain that he would have a conflict with them in the future because of Ryland.
"Humm, we don't know that much. But I believe there are eight royal families in the Dragon Clan. They are the Flame Dragon Tribe, the Ice Dragon Tribe, the Air Dragon Tribe, the Earth Dragon Tribe, the Luminous Dragon Tribe, the Lightning Dragon Tribe, the Void Dragon Tribe, and the Nether Dragon Tribe." Brodie told everything he knew.
"I..I.." Davion shuttered and couldn't speak a single word. The background of the Dragon clan ran too deep. He couldn't believe there could be so many families. Wouldn't he get beaten to death if he arrogantly went there with Ryland?
"Haha, I also had the same expression as you when I first heard it. They are quite amazing, aren't they? Furthermore, each of these families has at least one Saint Realm Expert." Brycen chuckled.
"Sheesh." Davion sucked in a cold breath.
"Nevertheless, this is not where it ends. I heard that there is a Dragon Lord that stands above all of them. He controls a unique type of power that doesn't belong to any of the Royal Families. It is said that he is the strongest being under the Heavens." Brodie added.
"Isn't that too far-fetched?" Davion didn't believe it. After all, under the heavens meant all the worlds including the Human World.
"I don't think so." Boride denied it and Brycen nodded his head in understanding. They seemed confident.
Seeing their resolute expression, Davion decided to let go of this matter and asked, "Can we people make a visit there?"
"Although they hold us in contempt, we are allowed to go there. There are many teleportation formations in the territories of the Dragon Clan that can take you straight up there." Boride answered.
"That easy?" Davion was baffled.
"Indeed. They don't care who sets foot there. They are sure that nobody would dare to create troubles there." Boride smiled.
"However, Young Master, if you are really eager to go there, then I suggest you not to. The people living there are very unfriendly. They think too highly of themselves. We were even bullied when we went there the last time." Anger was written all over Brycen's face.
"Don't remind me of that!" Boride scolded. That incident was quite embarrassing and he didn't want anyone hearing it.
"Haha" Davion laughed it off as he didn't bother to ask those details. Instead, he questioned, "So, do these dragons come down here?"
"How can they? Only some dragons having weaker bloodlines come here occasionally. They simply check over the matters of the territory and leave immediately." Brodie said while shaking his head. He didn't like anything about them except for their strength.
The conversation of Davion with the baboon siblings continued till the sunset. He inquired about a lot of things he didn't know and from the books, he was reading as well while they happily answered him without getting annoyed all this time.
As a result, Davion was impressed by them. So, when they were about to leave, he offered them two middle-grade spiritual artifacts from his spirit ring. However, they declined them without any hesitation.
"Young Master, how can we take them?"
"They are too valuable. What we did for you is too insignificant when compared to these artifacts."
Davion observed them carefully and didn't see much change in their expressions.
"They are honestly good people." Davion smiled. He was not sure he could find someone like them even in the Human World.
He then took out another two artifacts and arrogantly declared, "If you consider me as the Young Master of the Vermilion Tribe, then you have to accept it. Or else I will find it disrespectful."
They looked at each other and helplessly nodded.
"Thank you, Young Master." They accepted those artifacts and bowed towards him.
"Haha, let's meet tomorrow at noon." As a Young Master, he had to act in this way. Now, he was certain that these baboons wouldn't question his identity.
"By the way, it's already night. Aren't you returning, Young Master?"
"You can stay with us if you have no place to settle down."
They suggested.
"It's not the case. I will be reading here for a while." He still had some books left to be finished.
"We won't disturb you then." They left with smiles on their faces.
Davion gazed at them until they disappeared from his vision and returned back to what he was doing. But the mysterious woman who had been silent for the whole time finally made her move.
She dragged her chair opposite to his desk gracefully and sat on it. Next, she spoke in a cold tone.
"Who are you actually?"
