"Over a dozen Class 6 Magical Beasts have come," Nubis stared at the figures flying over from afar.
"They're not magical beasts. They're humans that evolved from sea creatures." Jianchen corrected him. He could tell with a single glance that they were not humans, nor were they magical beasts.
"I don't have much information about the Sea race in my inherited memories, but they sure are wondrous. Those sea creatures are basically the same as us magical beasts, but they don't need to reach Saint Ruler to take human form. They're much more powerful than us magical beasts," Nubis sighed emotionally.
The people arrived before Jianchen very soon. They stood twenty meters away from Jianchen and were filled with caution.
There were a total of thirteen people. They were twelve young men and one woman. The twelve young men were ordinary in appearance, but the woman was rather pretty. She radiated with a noble and elegant presence. She was clearly the daughter of a wealthy family.
Perhaps due to the unique environment of the Sea race, their skin was either green or white. They were clearly different from the humans on the Tian Yuan Continent.
As Jianchen and Nubis studied them, they studied Jianchen and Nubis as well. However, their gazes moved away from Jianchen very quickly and landed on the golden-robed Nubis.
Most of the people of the Sea race had blue hair. Although there were a few people with hair of other colors, no one with golden hair had ever appeared before. Nubis's attire was rather unique among the Sea race.
"Esteemed warriors, may I ask what you're doing here?" The rather pretty woman asked curiously. She constantly studied Jianchen and Nubis.
"The two of us are resting here. Do you need something?" Jianchen asked indifferently.
"Miss, there's no need to pay attention to them. We're not far from Gass City, yet the two of them are resting in the wilderness. Clearly, they don't have enough crystal coins to pay the entrance fee, or they don't have enough crystal coins to live here. With your status, there's no need for you to talk to lowly people like that. It'll only lower your status," the woman behind the young man said. He looked at Jianchen and Nubis with disdain. He did not sense their strength at all. He had already treated them as commoners.
"Shut up. Don't be rude," the woman frowned. The woman frowned slightly as she scolded the young man. Afterwards, she looked at the two of them and asked, "Esteemed warriors, may I ask what your stars are?"
Jianchen and Nubis looked at each other. They did not know how to answer. It was their first time coming to the Sea race. They were still very unfamiliar with the Sea race. They had no idea what a Poseidon warrior was, what their star level was, or what it represented. If they answered incorrectly, it would inevitably raise suspicions.
Seeing that the two of them could not answer, the young man standing behind the woman could not help but say, "Don't tell me you haven't become a Poseidon warrior yet."
"Yes, we haven't become a Poseidon warrior yet," Jianchen replied.
Hearing this, the young men standing behind the woman showed disdain in their eyes. They looked at Jianchen and Nubis with undisguised disdain.
The woman had a suspicious look in her eyes. She clearly did not believe what Jianchen said. She was born with a special talent. She practiced one of the eight sacred arts of the Sea race, the Innate Spirit Opening. Her perception was far superior to others of the same level. When she was passing by earlier, she clearly felt a very strong energy fluctuation. That was why she rushed over to find Jianchen and Nubis. But now, her Innate Spirit Opening could not see through Jianchen and Nubis. It made her feel that these two people were not simple.
The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Esteemed warriors, Gath City is not far from here. The grand auction that occurs once in a hundred years is about to begin. Can you two enter the city with me?"
"Alright, then we'll enter the city with you, Miss," Jianchen agreed readily.
"Jianchen, why do you want to enter the city with them?" Nubis asked in confusion.
"The Sea race is a little special. Their perception is beyond my expectations. They can actually detect the presence of a sacred artifact. The presence of a sacred artifact cannot be completely hidden, so we can't expose it too often. From now on, we can only cultivate outside. As a result, I think it's very important for us to learn more about the Sea race. Following them will undoubtedly be one of the most convenient ways to learn more about the Sea race," Jianchen said.
"Yeah, that does make sense. Although I have some records about the Sea race in my inherited memories, I don't know how long those memories are from. The Sea race must have changed a lot. For example, I don't know what's going on with that warrior Poseidon."
Afterward, Jianchen and Nubis followed the woman to Gath City. The two of them hid their strength and flew slowly with a layer of water elemental energy around them. This was very easy for two Saint Kings.
The two of them displayed their ability to fly, which immediately changed the way the dozen or so people looked at them.
Along the way, Jianchen and Nubis constantly asked about the Sea race. They learned a lot of useful information from the woman, and their understanding of the Sea race deepened.
Other than the fact that the Sea race was divided into three parts, there was also the difference between the inner sea and the outer sea. The inner sea was an independent world separated by the barrier that Jianchen and Nubis were in. It was the holy land in the hearts of all the Sea race. Only highly evolved members who could take human form had the right to enter.
The members of the Sea race who had not yet taken human form could only live in the outer sea. The outer sea was the world outside the barrier. Not only was the environment there terrible, but there was also little water element energy. There was also seawater everywhere.
Of course, some of the Sea race could not take human form due to innate reasons. As a result, one only needed to reach the strength of a fourteen-star warrior Poseidon to have the right to enter the inner sea.
The Sea God's Warrior was the Sea Race's division of strength for practitioners. There were a total of eighteen stars. Compared to the human race and the magical beasts, they were divided into two stars and one rank. One star and two stars were equivalent to human saints and rank one magical beasts. Three stars and four stars were equivalent to great saints and rank two magical beasts. Based on this, eleven stars and twelve stars were equivalent to rank six magical beasts, thirteen stars and fourteen stars were equivalent to rank seven magical beasts, fifteen stars and sixteen stars were equivalent to rank eight magical beasts, and seventeen stars and eighteen stars were equivalent to rank nine magical beasts.
The territory of the Sea race was rich with crystal coins condensed from water elemental energy. Not only was it the common currency of the Sea race, but it was also something that the Sea race needed to cultivate. Crystal coins were as important to the Sea race as monster cores were on the Tian Yuan Continent. The only difference was that absorbing the energy from crystal coins would not leave behind any side effects.
Aside from the three divine halls, there were many other large and small forces that existed in the form of clans and tribes.
Other than that, Jianchen also learned something very important. Humans and magical beasts were often active in the Sea race. These humans and magical beasts were almost all cultivators from overseas. They were very close to the sea race, and they brought things from the outside to trade with the Sea race for what they needed.
Although the Sea race generally did not treat foreign humans and magical beasts with hostility, there were some exceptions. Some of the members of the Sea race were extremely repulsed by outsiders, so when they saw them, it was unavoidable for them to start a fight or even kill them for their treasures. Even the powerful Saint Rulers and Class 7 Magical Beasts were no exception.
As a result, if outsiders wanted to travel safely in the Sea race, they needed to find a powerful backer.
Jianchen gained some understanding of the woman's identity. She was the daughter of the patriarch of a large tribe several tens of thousand kilometers away. Her name was Caia, and she had cultivated for over two hundred years. This time, she had led over a dozen twelve-star Poseidon warriors to Gass City to participate in the centennial auction.
As Jianchen hurried to Gass City, all the important figures of the ten protector clans and Mercenary City had gathered in a hovering divine hall on the distant Tian Yuan Continent.
"Everyone, that's the situation. Poseidon is still alive, and Jianchen has fled into the territory of the Sea race with the Winged Tiger. What should we do now?" A great elder of the Yiyuan sect explained everything he had learned about Poseidon from Ling Yuanzi in detail.
Apart from the great elder of Mercenary City, everyone else in the hovering divine hall became unprecedentedly serious.
Poseidon was an influential figure in ancient times. He was someone who was as famous as the greatest human expert, Mo Tianyun, the Winged Tiger, and the war god, Ruijin. He was one of the four great experts who had surpassed the Holy Emperor.
.
Now that so many years had passed, the ancient war god Aergyns had fallen, and the ancient divine beast Winged Tiger God and the strongest human Mo Tian Yun were nowhere to be found. It was very likely that they had passed away from the end of their lifespans and no longer existed in this world. However, the sea goddess was still in this world. This news had a very strong impact on the people of the ten protector clans, causing their expressions to become very ugly.
"Yuan Qingzi, is this news true? Are you sure that Poseidon is still alive? Could it be that some other expert is deliberately mystifying and trying to scare us? "A Guardian Family's hostage questioned in a grave tone.
"It's absolutely true. Bi Yifei also witnessed this with me," Ling Yuanzi growled. He had yet to recover from his injuries, so his face was as pale as snow. He was dispirited.
"Ling Yuanzi, your injuries were caused by Poseidon. I can feel that your soul is extremely weak. You've been heavily injured," a ruddy old man asked.
Ling Yuanzi shook his head. As soon as he thought about what had happened, he felt ashamed and resentful. The mighty Holy Emperor, a supreme expert of the Fifth Heavenly Layer, had actually fallen to the hands of a junior who was nowhere near as powerful as him. He had completely lost face.
"It's Jianchen. I never thought that he would have already become a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master. He used five hundred years of his lifespan to heavily injure me with God's Descent," Ling Yuanzi said through gritted teeth. He was filled with hatred for Jianchen.
Everyone present was surprised when they heard that. Changyang Qing Yun and the grand elder from Changyang Prefecture revealed rather mixed expressions. They wanted to help Jianchen very much, but they were powerless to do so because this matter was related to the Winged Tiger. If they could not resolve the issue of who the Winged Tiger belonged to, they would not be able to help Jianchen. Otherwise, it would only worsen the conflict between the protector clans.
"It looks like it's time to tell everyone this news. Yuan Qingzi is right. Poseidon is indeed still alive. He still exists," Tian Jian said. His voice was calm and steady.
"Tian Jian, how are you so sure that Poseidon is still alive?"
"Tian Jian, since you know that Poseidon is still alive, why didn't you tell us earlier?"
The two people in charge asked at the same time.
