For the Conferred Queen to be able to achieve such a result despite being lesser than having two hundred years of age, Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but acknowledge her as someone who would surpass him in the near future.

With her talent alone, their standing truly wasn't the same, even with the difference in their current cultivation stages. He mused that as long as the Conferred Queen reached the Peak-Level Martial Sage Stage, she might even be able to battle him!

An Eighth Stage Cultivator battling a Ninth Stage Powerhouse? He hadn't heard of such a human for a long time as those were things of the legends! Perhaps, only a select few individuals, extraordinary geniuses from the large Territories might have the power to be able to do that.

'She is also a monster like him.'

He secretly took a deep breath to suppress his emotions.

"Speaking of dragons, has the Protector heard about the Aqua Flood Dragon that is in our ocean territory?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim abruptly asked.

"Aqua Flood Dragon? Perhaps... Not that I specifically recall something in my mind. What of it?" Davis asked.

If possible, he wanted to avoid this topic because he was blank about this matter! He knew nothing about the Aqua Flood Dragon. If he said something wrong, his guise might be seen through.

But at this point, he felt that if he really needed to maintain the guise.

"Ah, no. I just wanted to know more about it." Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled as he waved his hand, and a sound barrier appeared.

The image of a serpent appeared in front of them as well, made from soul force. However, it possessed four limbs over its serpent body, and its tail was shrouded in a cloudy haze. Its head was not of a snake but resembled a dragon's head, and its facial features were the same.

"Recently, around a hundred years ago, this Aqua Flood Dragon killed and ate one of our Elders who accidentally stumbled upon its ocean territory which has infringed ours."

"I confronted the Aqua Flood Dragon, but it was unwilling to talk. It threatened me with its sharp dragon claws, so I could only leave. In the end, we were unable to do anything because the Aqua Flood Dragon is a Low-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast, a Ninth Stage Magical Beast!"

"It simply looks down on us with its aristocratic dragon bloodline."

"I felt that it would disappear after some time, perhaps a few decades or a century, but it still remains there. Do you know why it would remain and refuse to move out of our territory?"

'How would I know!?' Davis inwardly screamed.

But using his wit, he still acted like a wise man.

"When did this so-called Aqua Flood Dragon become known to the Alstreim Family, and where was it first spotted?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head, "It is said that Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beasts possess a lifespan that reaches 200,000 years. Forget me. Even the previous Ancestors don't know about its origins. At some point in this fifty thousand years, the Aqua Flood Dragon probably snuck in occupied as it swam the ocean of our Alstreim Family Territory."

"After all, it isn't as if all Ninth Stage Powerhouses necessarily cross the Territory Gates. They can also use their cultivation base to cross the eternal wall that separates the Territories forcefully."

"The thing is, once the Aqua Flood Dragon arrived in the Grand Alstreim Ocean, it never stayed in a single place for more than a decade, and we knew that as long as we don't go disturb its current territory, it would never attack us. However, it's been more than a hundred years, and it still hasn't left yet."...

"What do you think?"

Davis's lips twitched, "Sounds like it found whatever it was looking for..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's eyes lit up in appreciation, "I too think so as well. However, what could it be that it wanted to find?"

Davis chuckled, "Why don't you try invading its current territory? Perhaps, you can see what it wanted to find."

"Haha... if I did that, I might offend it, which would spell the Alstreim Family's end. I'm not stupid or brazen enough to do that."

"Putting aside the humor, I'm genuinely curious as to what treasure it had found. However, since it's a water type magical beast, I doubt that it would be useful to my Alstreim Family. Hence, the temptation isn't much."

Davis nodded his head. He suddenly became curious as well, but since no one in his side trained in Water Laws other than Lucas, he didn't bother. He wouldn't go far as to offend a higher existence for Lucas, so he didn't entertain the thought.

"However, to think it was searching for fifty thousand years without losing hope or going crazy... Maybe there is more to that treasure than it meets the eye." He added.

"Perhaps..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim's lips almost twitched.

It was unknown how many magical beasts the Aqua Flood Dragon impregnated over the years. Heck, the Alstreim Family even possessed two or three offshoots of the Aqua Flood Dragon as their magical beast mounts.

The Skywater Seal, Ice-Tailed Sea Serpent, and Sea Flood Serpent Eagle. Other than the Ice-Tailed Sea Serpent, which is a King Rank Species that can reach the King Beast Stage, the other two were Sky Rank Species that can reach the Lord Beast Stage.

The Alstreim Family used the Ice-Tailed Sea Serpent to traverse the seas most of the time. Hence, no matter where they went in the ocean, the Ice-Tailed Sea Serpents would be able to notice their ancestor's presence, which would enable them to stay clear, but it seemed that one Elder who died by the Aqua Flood Dragon was clearly unlucky because he traveled on another sea magical beast at that time.

'Hmph! The Aqua Flood Dragon even captured a bird and mated with it, producing the Sea Flood Serpent Eagle Species. What else needs to be said about losing hope or going crazy? It is clearly living the life of an Emperor, the Emperor of the Grand Alstreim Ocean.'

Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly harrumphed as he removed the sound barrier before his gaze fell on Nora Alstreim. His expression turned a bit complicated, but he reminded himself that youngsters were still redeemable.

"Are you ready?"

Nora Alstreim stood up from her seat and nodded her head. She took a step forward and gently took to the skies before gracefully landing before a gate-like structure that was kept before the martial platform.

She entered it, and a bronze-colored light erupted, indicating that she was below a hundred years old. She walked out of the age probing formation before gently lifting her feet as her figure flashed.

When she reappeared, she was already on the martial platform. She looked around slowly before her gaze landed on the Conferred Queen's location.

"Who's my opponent?" Her daring and stimulating voice echoed.

Logan was communicating with Claire through soul transmission. It was unknown what they talked, but Logan stood up and took a few steps forwards before he clasped his hand towards Princess Isabella

"Young Mistress. I would like to use this opportunity to showcase my strength."
