Gui Jiusan nervously followed Zhou Feng. He didn't know what would be waiting for him.
"How much do you know about the Dragon Palace?"
Zhou Feng asked about the specific matters of the Dragon Palace.
This information was crucial to him and asking a local such as Gui Jiusan was the best choice.
"The Dragon Palace?"
Gui Jiusan's nervous heart was immediately relieved upon hearing this.
If it was just a question, Gui Jiusan could still answer it.
Through a simple inquiry, Zhou Feng learned a lot about the Dragon Palace.
First of all, there were a lot of guards inside and outside the Dragon Palace.
A great formation surrounded the Dragon Palace, so ordinary people couldn't sneak inside.
Although it was impossible to sneak inside, the Dragon Palace was currently recruiting warriors.
As long as one had the bloodline of a true dragon, they could take part in the Dragon Palace's trials.
Once one passed the trials, they could become a member of the Dragon Palace.
"You only need to reveal your bloodline?" Zhou Feng asked.
"That's right. You only need to reveal your bloodline aura. After all, one can't imitate the bloodline aura," Gui Jiusan answered confidently.
In this sea, one's bloodline aura was actually a pass.
In many cases, one only needed to reveal their bloodline aura to prove their identity.
This time, Zhou Feng had a general understanding of the situation.
"Oh right! Chieftain! This is the Xuanwu scale! I hope you like it."
Taking advantage of the momentary silence, Gui Jiusan handed a scale.
This scale was as big as a washbasin.
Moreover, a sense of heaviness arose spontaneously.
It was just a mere scale, but it made Zhou Feng feel as if it was as heavy as a mountain.
Was this really the Xuanwu scale!?
Zhou Feng received the scale and immediately saw countless natural patterns. The patterns on the scale seemed to be the laws between heaven and earth.
It gave people a mysterious feeling, but nothing could be seen.
"Please protect our tribe for a few more days!
"Our tribe will not take long to complete the relocation!"
After handing the scale to Zhou Feng, Gui Jiusan did not wait for him to speak before he took the next step.
He asked Zhou Feng to protect the Aquamarine Turtle Tribe for a few more days until they completed the relocation.
The timing was perfect.
It happened to be when Zhou Feng received the black turtle scale.
Zhou Feng thought for a while and agreed. "Sure!"
Anyway, he needed to cultivate for a few more days before heading to the Dragon Palace.
Besides, he wouldn't maintain his current identity as an Aquamarine Turtle.
The passive Bloodline Simulation could record three bloodlines, so he planned to change his identity and sneak into the Dragon Palace.
Gui Jiusan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Feng was carefree as ever.
Then, he started to get busy crazily.
As for Zhou Feng, he returned to the cave-dwelling to cultivate and study the Xuanwu scale.
Another three days passed…
Zhou Feng didn't intend to stay here anymore.
Meanwhile, Gui Jiusan finished everything during this period.
To be honest, he admired Gui Jiusan. This was the only person he had met that made him extremely relaxed.
He was like a capable assistant who had been following him for many years.
Most importantly, Gui Jiusan knew what to do and what not to do.
Because of this, Zhou Feng had not treated Gui Jiusan with animosity. Instead, he treated him like a friend.
"Chieftain, goodbye. This is a gift from our Aquamarine Turtle Tribe. Please don't mind it!"
Before Zhou Feng left, Gui Jiusan handed over a shell.
This shell was a storage spiritual artifact, similar to a storage ring.
He didn't even give Zhou Feng a chance to reject it.
After Gui Jiusan handed the shell to him, he left immediately.
'Is it because he is aware of my actual combat strength?'
Zhou Feng came back to his senses when he saw the shell in his hand.
Gui Jiusan must have learned his actual combat strength through some means. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fawned on him so deliberately.
It was tough to measure Zhou Feng's actual combat strength, so others often underestimated him.
If one didn't personally fight with Zhou Feng, they wouldn't be able to notice that his passive buffs sent his strength through the roof.
In the eyes of others, he was just an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator.
He had never cultivated any special techniques, while he gave off an average aura. It was precisely because of this that many people completely looked down on Zhou Feng.
It wasn't worth paying attention to a mere vagabond cultivator who had just broken through to the Purple Mansion at all.
It was everyone's instinct to watch the dishes fall.
It was truly rare for someone like Gui Jiusan to lick Zhou Feng's boots from start to finish.
Thus, Zhou Feng suspected that Gui Jiusan was aware of his actual combat strength.
'Forget it! He doesn't have any ill intentions toward me, anyway. Let's change my identity first.'
Zhou Feng didn't think too much about it.
Gui Jiusan didn't have any ill intentions, nor did he know that Zhou Feng was a human.
To Zhou Feng, it was more important to find the Human Emperor's land of heritage.
'Azure Sea Snake… The bloodline contains a trace of the Flood Dragon bloodline. I can use this identity to sneak into the Dragon Palace.'
Zhou Feng had secretly killed an Azure Sea Snake during this period to obtain its bloodline.
Zhou Feng carried out a bloodline simulation, and his appearance changed in less than a second.
When he was simulating the Aquamarine Turtle, his face had some scales on it, and his back was slightly hunched.
Now that he was simulating the Azure Sea Snake, his entire temperament became a little colder.
His appearance didn't change much, and he was still as handsome as before. There wasn't much of a difference between him and a human other than his smoky eyes.
"Aquamarine Breathing Technique!"
After simulating the Azure Sea Snake bloodline, he immediately used the Aquamarine Breathing Technique.
Zhou Feng wanted to see if the Aquamarine Breathing Technique could be used before simulating the Azure Sea Snake bloodline.
'I can use it, but the effect has weakened…'
Surprisingly, the Aquamarine Breathing Technique was still effective.
But the disadvantage was that its effect was weakened a lot. It wasn't as perfect as when simulating the Aquamarine Turtle bloodline.
Even so, Zhou Feng was still satisfied.
As long as it could be used!
'Then I'll head to the Dragon Palace…'
Gui Jiusan had provided him with enough information, so he was not as blind as before. He planned to go straight to the Dragon Palace, check where the land of inheritance might be, and find a chance to find the Human Emperor Scripture's second half.
Zhou Feng's goal had always been the Human Emperor Scripture's second half.
