Chapter 177: Sky Dragon Lake Dragon Pearl Carrier!
Midnight was approaching, and Bai Yu considered it carefully.
For him, this intelligence with the keyword “Wang Family” was most likely an introduction to the situation in Wang Family Village.
Wang Family Village was relatively large, so five Intelligence Value clearly wasn’t for detailed research results.
Save where possible!
And so, just after midnight.
【 August 16, 2037 】
【 Intelligence Value: 147 】
【 Purple Intelligence Fragments * 8, Gold Intelligence Fragments * 4, Red Intelligence Fragments * 1 】
【 Intelligence One （ White ）

【 Intelligence One （ White ）

Required Intelligence Value: 5 】
【 Intelligence Two （ White ）

【 Intelligence Four （ Blue ）
Keyword: Black Dragon Emperor
Required Intelligence Value: 50 】
Bai Yu quickly glanced over them.
The first one didn’t need to be looked at; it was clearly a personal report.
It could help him understand information and perhaps even improve his strength.
But they had only just met, so he would have to see tonight’s battle before considering it.
“Sea Lin General… Sea Monsters?”
Bai Yu hesitated.
He knew that both Sea Monsters and Black Demons would be returning tonight.
The third intelligence was clearly related to the Black Demons.
“The Black Demon King of Sakura Island, also known as the Black Demon Warriors, indeed had seven Natal Items and seven Great Generals.”
“This intelligence should have been thoroughly explained by the Sakura Island people.”
“However, the higher-ups might not be familiar with the intelligence on the Sea Monsters.”
Considering this, Bai Yu decided to acquire the second intelligence first and then consider the third after seeing the outcome of tonight’s battle.
As for the fourth intelligence!
Bai Yu rubbed his hands.
“Three days, and I can still get 120 Intelligence Value.”
“The Intelligence Value I can use is 67.”
“But honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this blue intelligence. And the price of Intelligence Value has greatly increased now.”
“The Black Dragon Emperor is a key figure now! I absolutely have to buy this.”
After reading, Bai Yu rubbed his hands.
Let’s look at the second one first!
【 Archive Number: AQ-2037-09-11
Archive Classification: Sea Monster Clan / Second Intelligent Species Modification Plan
Archive Name: Battle of Gu Tower Village and the Second Intelligent Species
I. Biological Background: The Sea Lin General is a product of the Sea Monster Clan’s “Blue Star Second Intelligent Species Plan.” This plan aims to create a new species extremely similar to humans but possessing Sea Monster characteristics, to replace the Human Race’s Heavenly Dao bestowed gifts and steal more Power of the Ancient Gods.
The Sea Lin General, apart from features like the ears, has a very high resemblance to humans in appearance, but its genetic similarity to humans is only 10%-20%. Approximately 70% of its bloodline is similar to Sea Monsters, with the remaining portion fused with the bloodlines of Divine Beasts like the Qilin.
II. Modification Plan: The “Blue Star Second Intelligent Species Plan” is a secret plan initiated by the Sea Monster Clan to replace the Blue Star Human Race. The Sea Lin General, as an experimental subject of this plan, was endowed with the power of Sea Monsters and the bloodline of the Qilin Divine Beast. From the analysis results, the Sea Monster Clan’s plan has achieved initial success.
III. Battle of Black Tower Village: In the Battle of Black Tower Village, the Sea Lin General, as the vanguard of the Sea Monster Clan, demonstrated the effectiveness of the Sea Monster Clan’s modified creatures, but was ultimately killed.
IV. Bloodline Analysis
Human Genes: 12.3%
Sea Monster Bloodline: 71.2%
Divine Beast Bloodline: 16.5%
V. Ability Description
Water Element Control: (Omitted)
Sea Current Summoning: (Omitted)
Qilin Power: Summons a Qilin phantom, enhancing strength and defense.
Scale Armor Defense: Skin hardens to form scale armor, providing additional physical defense.
Sea Monster Assimilation: Communicates mentally with the Sea Monster Clan and commands Sea Monster legions.
Devour: Can summon a dark vortex to pull people into an unknown realm 】
Bai Yu quickly scanned it.
This intelligence clearly had two main points.
The first and most important was the Blue Star Second Intelligent Species Plan!
The second was naturally the description of its abilities, which would also help reduce some pressure during combat.
“From the effect, it’s a bit of a loss, meow meow meow~”
He definitely wouldn’t buy the third one.
The official channels would surely know more about this intelligence.
As for the fourth one… acquired!
【 Archive Number: XY-2038-02-11
Archive Classification: Mythical Creature / Black Dragon Emperor / Black Demon Seven Sons
Archive Name: Black Dragon Emperor: From Tang Dynasty Mythology to Modern Descent Incident 】
Bai Yu looked at the archive number.
“February 2038? Did something else go wrong?”
He continued reading the content.
【 I. Biological Background: The Black Dragon Emperor, originally named Li Longjun, was a black dragon that appeared in Tang Dynasty mythology. It was suspected to have been born in the Black River to the northeast. Initially, it was just a giant black snake, and the reason for its transformation into a flood dragon is unknown.
After becoming a flood dragon, dissatisfied with its current strength, it ultimately turned to the demonic path. It forcibly borrowed the power of the Black Demon Seven Sons to successfully transform into a dragon.
Controlled by demonic power, it caused immense disaster in the human world.
In the later period of Tang Dynasty mythology, it rampaged in the Dragon River area and was jointly suppressed by the guardian of the area – the White Dragon, the ancient inheritors of Wang Family Village, and the inheritor of Jinzha.
II. Suppression in Mythology: In Tang Dynasty legends, the Black Dragon Emperor was suppressed by the White Dragon’s immense luck due to its greed and brutality. The inheritors of Wang Family Village used ancient magic to weaken its power, while the inheritor of Jinzha sealed it with a powerful artifact.
III. Modern Suppression: In modern history, the Black Dragon Emperor’s power was suppressed within the ancient pagoda in Gu Tower Village. Last year, during the Black Demon incident in August or September, the seal of the ancient pagoda in Gu Tower Village showed signs of loosening.
IV. Battle of the Ancient Pagoda: Our side, having foreseen the actions of the Sea Monster Clan and the Black Demon faction, set an ambush in the ancient pagoda in Gu Tower Village. We also set up a formation to extract the Black Dragon Emperor’s power, severely weakening it.
V. Black Dragon Pearl Incident: Although the Black Dragon Emperor’s power was weakened, its residual strength was still not to be underestimated.
The Black Demon faction was also constantly plotting in this region. Ultimately, the Black Demon faction found a jade pearl at the heart of Black Dragon Lake. This jade pearl was an Advancement Item for the Black Dragon Emperor, carrying the source of its power.
Through this item, the Black Dragon Emperor’s power could be guided to descend once more.
VI. Location Description of Sky Dragon Lake: Sky Dragon Lake is located in the northern mountain range of Sancha River Town. This area is very close to the Yunan Group’s spiritual mine extraction site. The lake is situated on the mountaintop and can only be reached by a treacherous mountain path. At the bottom of the lake’s heart lies a massive rock, beneath which the Black Jade Pearl is pressed. 】
From the entire archive, it seemed to only record the subsequent disturbances caused by the Black Dragon Emperor.
However, Bai Yu was no longer Little White; he understood an important concept regarding Advancement Items of Ancient Gods.
That is, items that become Advancement Items for Ancient Gods are relatively special and can be traced.
For example, a calligraphy brush, if it’s modern-made with no history, its probability of becoming an Advancement Item is almost zero.
But for some relatively valuable, profound, and storied ancient artifacts, if one has a good eye, the value of them becoming Advancement Items is high.
Since an item either is or is not an Advancement Item for an Ancient God, there are only two answers.
It’s like Schrödinger’s cat.
But this doesn’t stop some wealthy individuals from using these clues to scout for old antiques that have the potential to become Advancement Items for Ancient Gods!
“From this concept, combined with the intelligence costing fifty Intelligence Value now.”
“The Black Jade Pearl, also known as the Black Dragon Pearl, will definitely be key!”
“To forge an Advancement Item for an Ancient God?”
“But… this kind of evil-aligned Ancient God is not easy to contract with.”
He was definitely not suitable for using it.
This intelligence would be most valuable if handed over to the higher-ups.
Afterward, Bai Yu carefully examined the location description of Sky Dragon Lake.
“Sky Dragon Lake is located in the northern mountain range of Sancha River Town, near the Yunan Group’s spiritual mine extraction site?”
“That’s quite detailed information.”
But why hadn’t he heard of this spiritual mine?
After thinking, he opened his computer and logged into the Investigation Bureau’s internal extraordinary database.
His rank was not low now, and the higher-ups had given him high authority.
Searching for a spiritual mine, such a large target, was still quite simple.
The result…
There was no such place in the vicinity of Sancha River Town! Instead, there was one about fifteen kilometers to the north.
“A spiritual mine a few months from now?”
Bai Yu scratched his head, then thought of something.
“Damn! That resource point I scouted yesterday! I even ate fish in that area.”
“Hahaha~!”
He hadn’t expected to connect these pieces of intelligence through future information.
“The area is quite large, I need to find it soon. It’s best to contact someone now!”
With that thought, Bai Yu decided to contact Professor Yuan.
But his hand suddenly stopped.
Wait a minute!
Black Dragon Emperor! Bai Ling!
He had to ask if this intelligence would benefit Bai Ling in any way.
With that thought, Bai Yu asked into his Soul Sea, “Bai Ling, are you asleep?”
“No, Brother Bai Yu, is something wrong?”
“Do you understand the concept of Advancement Items for Ancient Gods?”
“Mm! The materials Brother Bai Yu gave me mentioned quite a bit about it.”
Bai Ling indeed had a habit of reading, so when she had free time, she would be released to read more materials.
Perhaps in the future, Bai Yu would be a walking database, knowing more than himself.
“I can now find the Black Dragon Emperor’s Advancement Item for Ancient Gods in advance. Of course, its power hasn’t descended into that item yet, but it’s definitely related to him. If I obtain this item, would it be of any use to you?”
“Hmm, Ling’er’s awakened memories are too fragmented to judge for now. However, if we can assist in suppressing that stinky black dragon this time, we should receive a feedback of luck from this region. My strength will increase further!”
Bai Ling’s current role was to cooperate with the Black Tortoise Shield and maintain a stable performance at around level thirty.
As for increasing further, Bai Yu didn’t know what the effect would be.
“Then let’s see tonight.”
Saying that, Bai Yu took out his communication device and sent a message to Professor Yuan: “Are you asleep?”
The other side immediately replied: “What? Do you need something, kid?”
“Yes, I do! The first is about the powerful individuals who might appear in tonight’s battle. The second is related to the Black Dragon Emperor.”
“I’ll come to your room to talk.”
“Alright!”
Half a minute later.
“Knock, knock, knock~”
He opened the door, and Professor Yuan walked in, immediately setting up a soundproof barrier.
“So urgent? You haven’t sensed any critical issues, have you?”
“You’re overthinking it, kid. Mainly, the Intelligence Value you provide each time is quite significant. You astrologers are out of touch with reality! Tell me, what intelligence do you have this time?”
To be honest, Yuan Guofeng still couldn’t figure out the opponent’s movements.
Even with ample preparation, he was still somewhat uncertain.
He wasn’t a divination-type professional.
Now that Bai Yu said he had intelligence, he naturally wanted to probe.
Sometimes, he really wished he could specialize in celestial phenomena-type Ancient Gods.
Getting information in advance would give him some peace of mind!
However, celestial phenomena-type cultivators mostly advised him, “Sometimes, knowing too much is a burden.”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said directly, “Among the enemy powerhouses tonight, there will be a modified Sea Monster with the Qilin bloodline.”
“A modified Sea Monster?”
“Yes! The Sea Monster Clan’s Second Intelligent Species Plan, do you know about it?”
This question surprised Yuan Guofeng, who said, “You even know about this?”
“…Shouldn’t I know?”
“You really shouldn’t.”
“We’re talking business!”
“Alright. Is that the only enemy?”
“Certainly not. The Black Demon King’s Seven Generals will also participate, but I don’t know how many.”
Hearing this news, Yuan Guofeng became more serious and said, “Honestly, since we gained the dominant position, we’ve obtained a lot of information about the Black Demon Warriors from the Sakura Island people.”
“Based on the existing intelligence, the growth rate and combat power of the Black Demon faction are definitely beyond expectations.”
“And six of the Black Demon Seven Sons are within our borders! The key point is the Black Demon Ancestor and his Black Demon army.”
“The Black Demon King has become a major threat to the Sakura Island people, and we must do our utmost to nip it in the bud!”
Bai Yu naturally understood this.
The ten-year future report he had seen back then mentioned the deaths of dozens of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators and several Heaven Yuan Realm cultivators!
It was already an unmanageable situation.
Seeing that Yuan Guofeng had processed these two pieces of information, Bai Yu said, “There’s also something about the Black Dragon Emperor.”
“What is it?”
“According to my divination today, this Black Dragon Emperor will not be completely annihilated after this operation.”
Yuan Guofeng rolled his eyes and said, “Of course! Ancient Gods like this can’t be cleaned up in one go. However, do you have a way to completely eliminate him?”
“Not exactly.”
Hearing this, Yuan Guofeng felt a bit regretful.
Bai Yu continued, “However, I’ve detected a location that is the next point of descent for the Black Dragon Emperor’s power. There might be an Advancement Item for an Ancient God there that can contain the Black Dragon Emperor’s power.”
“Hmm. Hmm? Are you using the correct terminology? Is it an Advancement Item for an Ancient God, or a sealed item, or something else?”
“Is there a difference?”
“Of course! An Advancement Item for an Ancient God actively anchors the Ancient God’s power, and the Ancient God cannot resist. With such an item, one can trace more information about the Ancient God.”
“A sealed item only temporarily seals a portion of the Ancient God’s power and cannot be used for tracing its origins.”
“The Black Dragon Emperor’s Advancement Item for an Ancient God has not appeared yet. Otherwise, with this item, combined with the ancient pagoda, we would have a means to control him.”
Bai Yu didn’t know there was such a nuance.
But then he asked doubtfully, “But during my dealings with the Black Demons, there was an item called the Black Blood Blade, and also those samurai swords, aren’t these also Advancement Items for Ancient Gods? Why don’t we use these items to lock onto the Black Demons behind them?”
“That’s just what uncultured people call them. If we’re being precise, these are Ancient God Pollutants! Only the original seven samurai swords and the Black Lotus Flower can be considered Advancement Items for Ancient Gods!”
“After this incident, I’ll give you a few books to read. They will definitely be useful in the future.”
Bai Yu: .
How familiar that sounded!
Professor Wang Wen had said the same thing.
As expected of fellow disciples!
“So, do you want this information or not?”
“If you have it, then of course I want it! But honestly, are you sure you’re not mistaken? Is this information reliable?”
“Forget it, then I won’t say anything.”
“Don’t! After you seal the Black Dragon into an Advancement Item for an Ancient God, I’ll give you a Divine Beast of the same level.”
“Deal!”
“.”
