Tian Jian said calmly, "Many years ago, my Origin Spirit fused with the Divine Hall. I borrowed the power of the Divine Hall to peer into the world. I once sensed a powerful and terrifying power from the Sea Race. I was certain that she was the Sea God. As for why I didn't tell you this news, do you think it's good news? It's not good to know, and it'll only increase your worries."
Everyone understood. The news about Poseidon had placed an extremely great pressure on them. If it were possible, they would rather not know about it.
"Now that Jianchen has entered the sea realm with the Winged Tiger, what do you think we should do?" A member of the protector clan asked with a heavy voice.
Many of the people present became extremely heavy. With the current strength of the Tian Yuan Continent, the sea realm was a forbidden zone to them without a doubt. Even if they gathered all the power of the continent, they would not be able to stop one of the four experts who had surpassed the Holy Emperor. Even if they worked together with the Beast God Continent, they probably would not be Poseidon's opponent.
The protector clans were ancient clans that had existed since ancient times. They possessed many records, so they understood the power and terror of those who had surpassed the Holy Emperor extremely well.
"I feel like this matter is rather strange. Since Poseidon is still alive, why haven't we heard any news about her after so many years? As a matter of fact, everyone thinks that she's already passed away," an old man analyzed.
Many people were stunned at first when they heard that, but the light in their eyes began to flicker.
A middle-aged man said, "I think that's reasonable. Since Poseidon is still alive, why does she keep such a low profile? That doesn't make sense. Is she hiding from something? Or has she always been in a slumber and only just awakened? "
"The Holy Emperor has a lifespan of six thousand years, while the Holy Emperor has a lifespan of ten thousand years. Poseidon has surpassed the Holy Emperor's strength. Although her lifespan is much longer than the Holy Emperor's, so much time has already passed since ancient times. It's impossible for her to still be alive no matter how long her lifespan is."
"Could it be that the current Poseidon is just a Primordial Spirit left behind back then?"
"If it's just a Primordial Spirit, then there's nothing to be afraid of."
The members of the Ten Great Guardian Families voiced their own speculations and opinions.
"Poseidon saved Jianchen at a crucial moment, so I think she definitely knows about the Winged Tiger's existence. She'll definitely try to take the Winged Tiger for herself. The Beast God Continent is in even more of a hurry to take back the Winged Tiger than we are, so a conflict with the Sea race is unavoidable. Since that's the case, why don't we just watch from the sidelines and let them fight until both sides are injured? We might even be able to reap the benefits," someone suggested.
"That's right, and we can use the Beast God Continent to probe Poseidon's situation."
…
At this moment, a furious roar rang out from the depths of a mountain where the energy of the world was abundant, "Heavenly Enchantress, you bitch! I was so infatuated with you, yet you treat me like this. You even tried to stop me from killing Jianchen. You bastards! Bastards! I'll definitely make you regret this!"
"Jianchen, you bastard! Bastard! You stole the love of my life! I'll definitely make you suffer so much that you'll wish you were dead! So what if you've fled to the Sea race? I won't let a single one of your family go! I'll bathe the Eternal Flame Mercenaries in blood!"
"Cough, cough, Bi Bi, calm down. Jianchen's family is protected by a great elder from Changyang Prefecture. You can't do anything stupid. Remember not to clash with them openly. We can't afford to offend the protector clans," Bi Yifei's weak voice rang out from the cave.
"Father, I know. I know what I should do," Bi Yifei said as he panted. His eyes were red as he gasped for breath. The anger in his heart had already reached its peak.
Changyang Zu Yeyun stood by the window of her room in the Changyang Prefecture of Lore City. She stared blankly in the direction of the main entrance of Changyang Prefecture. Her face was filled with sorrow.
"Kong 'er, where are you …" Changyang Zu Yeyun sorrowfully said. She had never left Luo' er's side in the past few years, silently waiting for her son's return. She had already lost count of how many times she had said the same thing.
"Sigh, another few years have passed. Kong 'er's lifespan is getting shorter and shorter. It's just a pity that we can't find him at all with how vast the world is," Changyang Zu Yunxiao also sighed sorrowfully. He also felt extremely sad.
The Flame Mercenaries had undergone a lot of changes in the past four years. The original city walls had been torn down long ago, and they had begun the unprecedented project of using tungsten alloy to build the city. Under the combined efforts of several hundred thousand craftsmen, pieces of tungsten alloy were piled up one by one, creating thirty-meter-tall city walls. After four years, a third of the reconstruction of Flame City had already been completed.
The scale of the Flame Mercenaries' work this time had shaken up quite a large portion of the continent, attracting the attention of various large organizations.
As for Sima You Yue and Bi Lian, they had begun to assign more tasks to their subordinates over the years. They spent more time on cultivation.
Both of them had their bodies modified by the heavenly resources Jian Chen had left behind, so their cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary people. Under the personal guidance of the two Saint Rulers, Bi Hai and Jiede Tai, their progress could be said to be extremely fast. They already possessed the strength of a Great Saint Master.
Ming Dong, Tie Ta, Little Fatty, Wang Yifeng, and Dugu Feng had always remained in seclusion. They had never appeared before anyone, so no one knew what level of strength they had reached.
At the top of a tower in the Clan of the Ancients, the head of the Clan of the Ancients was standing respectfully in front of a big iron gate.
"Ancestor, I've already found out that your new disciple Huang Luan has already reached the Third Cycle of Earth Saint Master. She's currently cultivating under the personal guidance of the ancestor of the Huang family, Huang Tianba."
"The Third Cycle of Earth Saint Master. That's a little slow. If this continues, she'll need at least a decade or so to become a Heaven Saint Master. It looks like it's time for me to bring that girl over. Only by following me will her cultivation speed increase, allowing her to become a Heaven Saint Master in the shortest amount of time possible." An old but powerful voice rang out from behind the metal door. It was the ancestor of the Clan of the Ancients.
…
In the depths of the sea, Gath City was an extremely famous city within a radius of several tens of thousands of kilometers. It occupied a vast area and had a large population. It was a bustling city.
Jianchen and Nubis followed Caia. When they were ten kilometers away from the city, the number of people in the surroundings gradually increased. Almost all of them were members of the Sea Race with blue hair and skin. Other than that, they looked exactly the same as the humans of the Tian Yuan Continent.
"Gath City is a King Tier City. Only Poseidon warriors above the 13th Star can fly. If you two have reached the 13th Star, you can directly fly without paying the entrance fee." Caia stared at Jianchen and Nubis with shining eyes.
Jianchen looked into the distance and discovered that everyone who wanted to enter the city had to pay a certain amount of crystal coins to the soldiers.
Jianchen took out a hundred-year-old heavenly resource from his Space Ring and said, "Miss Caia, we've run out of crystal coins. We'd like to use this heavenly resource to exchange for some crystal coins from you."
Caia smiled and took out a bulging pouch from her Space Ring. She said, "Warriors, here are a hundred supreme quality crystal coins. Please take it as a gift from me, Caia. Please take back this heavenly resource."
Jianchen pondered and took the pouch from Caia. He said, "If that's the case, we'll take it as owing you, Miss Caia. We'll repay you in the future if there's a chance."
Jianchen and Nubis separated from Caia outside the city. After paying the entrance fee with a single crystal coin, they disappeared into the crowd with Nubis.
"Miss, could it be that you know those two unknown warriors? Why are you so generous as to give them a hundred crystal coins? That's not a small amount, "a guard asked in confusion after Jianchen and Nubis had left.
Kai Ya stared at the two of them as they vanished into the sea of people. She said, "I practise the Innate Spiritualization Technique, so I can see certain things better than others. I trust my instincts. The two of them are not simple. If we can form a good relationship with them this time, it might be very beneficial to our tribe in the future."
"But …"
"No buts. Let's go into the city."
In the city of Gas, Jianchen and Nubis strolled along the bustling streets. Nubis had purposely changed his blond hair and clothes to blue in order to not attract attention, while Jianchen still looked the same.
It was almost time for the once-in-a-century auction in Gas City, so everyone was talking about it on the streets.
"I heard that many treasures will appear in the auction this time, attracting many people from large tribes. There will definitely be a fierce battle."
"I heard that there will be three Earth Level Battle Saint Techniques in the auction this time. I wonder if that's true."
Battle Saint Techniques were equivalent to battle skills on the Tian Yuan Continent, except they were called by a different name. The Sea Race divided the Battle Saint Techniques into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Heaven Level was the highest, equivalent to Saint Level battle skills on the Tian Yuan Continent, while Yellow Level was the lowest.
It was equivalent to Human Level battle skills on the Tian Yuan Continent.
"It's not just the Earth Level Battle Saint Techniques. I heard that there's a Heaven Level Battle Saint Technique being auctioned as well, but it doesn't seem to be complete. It can only be used for six hours."
"The Mercury Liquid is also being auctioned in this auction. The Mercury Liquid is a product of the Sea of Despair. It is produced by the heavens and earth and is extremely rare. It is a sacred item of our Sea Race. Drinking a mouthful of it can transform a person with mediocre talent into a cultivation genius that only appears once every thousand years."
"I heard that there's also a Class 8 Radiant Spirit Pill being auctioned. It was brought from the distant Tian Yuan Continent. It's an extremely precious healing pill. It's priceless."
"There's a fragment of the legendary Map of the Eight Wastelands being auctioned. It was left behind by the seventeen-star Eight Wastelands Emperor ten thousand years ago. It's the key to the Eight Wastelands Divine Palace. It contains the inheritance and treasures of the Eight Wastelands Emperor."
"There's a total of eight fragments of the Map of the Eight Wastelands. It's said that seven of them have already appeared, and they're all controlled by the seven large tribes. This seems to be the last one."
… …
Jianchen and Nubis strolled through the streets unhurriedly. They observed the customs of the Sea Race as they listened to the conversations of the people around them.
"This Emperor of the Eight Wastelands Divine Palace was actually a seventeen-star expert. According to the classification of strength of the Sea Race, he should be a Holy Emperor. A dwelling left behind by a Holy Emperor. Interesting, interesting," Nubis murmured as he stroked his chin. His eyes were filled with great interest.
Just when Jianchen wanted to tell Nubis to keep a low profile, Ziying's voice rang out in his head before he could say anything.
"Master, I've found another material for forging the Azulet swords. It's ten kilometers in front of you."
