Declaration

Long Tiankong, the Dragon Emperor, stood atop the lake, his senses looking all around for any signs of formations or artifacts hiding the Azure Dragon's body.

In the first place, he couldn't even imagine who could have come here in the past 70 years as he and he alone had the one key to the secret realm.

Without the teleportation key, a medallion, that he kept in his storage, there was nothing he could think of that would allow one to enter the domain of the Azure Dragon.

Just as he thought that, he realized that was not true in the least. There were indeed more things that could aid one in entering and existing a spatial pocket such as this.

There were two swords, in fact, and one of them was with him right now.

But it hadn't always been.

A flicker of thought passed through his mind, one that had been bothering him for a while after his subordinates had told him, but he hadn't put enough consideration for it to come up with anything useful.
