After the battle between Zhang Yan and Great Sage Qing Pi, the mountains of the Cold Jade Continent had collapsed, and the shockwaves had caused the islands to sink.
The demonic blood and flesh of the Mieming Bird that was reared in the lake and the sea had all perished in this battle. Other than the Cloud Whale King's earth form, there was only the raging waves of the sea.
As for the Mieming Tribe's ancestral mountain, Mount Bai, more than half of it had collapsed. Only the cave where the demon corpses were placed was undamaged because they had been soaked in blood and spirits for years.
Zhang Yan was walking through the passage, trying to figure out the background of the creatures in this world from the demon corpses that the Mieming Tribe had captured over the past tens of thousands of years.
At this moment, he saw a monster with a single horn on its head and a carp tail on its back, resembling both a dragon and a mantis. He asked Gongxi Zao who was following beside him, "What is this?"
Gongxi Zao thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a 'Qi Qi'. Legend has it that it is the descendant of a dragon and a divine ray. When the water rises, it can fly, and when the water sinks, it can disappear. It is quite powerful."
Zhang Yan asked, "Oh, there are true dragons in this world?"
Gongxi Zao said, "There are many flood dragons in the vast ocean outside the Eastern Wastelands. Their numbers are not small, but they fight with the aquatic demons all year round, so they rarely come here. As for true dragons, there were pictures of them in ancient times, and there were many rumors about them, but no one has ever seen them. "
Zhang Yan nodded. If it was a true dragon, then it was not simple. For example, Ji Wuwang of the Nine Prefectures was a true dragon. However, the Mountain and Sea Realm was boundless. Even if he encountered a more powerful creature in the future, he would not be surprised, much less a true dragon.
At this moment, he swept his gaze across and saw a monster with a flat body, a small round head, a wide back, and sharp spikes growing from the back of its tail. He asked, "What is this?
Gongxi Zao looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know."
A gentle voice came from outside. "This is not a creature of this world."
Gongxi Zao looked over and saw a beautiful woman walk in. Her skin was like snow, and her clothes looked like they were woven from clouds. It kept on changing and dispersing, making him seem ethereal and indistinct.
Gong Xi Zao revealed a shocked expression. He could feel that this woman was a different species, even though her divine arts had not reached that level. However, his blood Qi was incredibly dense and vast. It was unknown how many times stronger it was. All the demons and devils in this place had been wiped out, and no one knew where he had come from.
The woman came in front of Zhang Yan, bowed and said, "Yun Zhu greets Shangzhen."
Zhang Yan recognized this woman as the manifestation of the Yun Tan Whale King's blood essence. He pointed at her and said, "Yun Tribe Master Just Now said that this creature isn't from this world. Do you know its origin?"
Yun Zhu said, "This object is called 'Celebration', divine art number one. It can allow one to forget the pain and sorrow in their heart and die in joy. Back then, it gathered quite a bit of power in the Northern Heavens Freezing Abyss. 4000 years ago, it was killed by the Great Sage Qing Ying and made into a blood and qi totem, which was placed here. "
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Looks like the cultivators of the Nine Continents aren't the only ones who have entered this world."
Yun Zhu said, "Your Excellency is right, but for several thousand years, However, for the past few thousand years, Outsiders have come here from time to time. There are also several demons like this one, but most of them were killed or chased away by the living beings of this world. "
At this point, she looked over and said with a hint of reverence. "In these tens of thousands of years, the only ones who could establish a foothold in this world from the Outer Heavens are you, Shangzhen. It's a pity that my tribe's King died after traveling through the void. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been enslaved by others."
Zhang Yan did not find this strange. The Mountain and Sea Realm's Gate of Heaven and Earth was not as sturdy as the Nine Continents, and it was also boundless. If there were almighty beings traveling through the void, they might find this place. But from the Whale King's words, it didn't seem to be a living being of this world. He asked, "Where did the Cloud Tan Tribe come from?"
Yun Zhu said, "The place where my tribe was born is called the Horn Flower Boundary. However, after a disaster, dozens of tribes had no choice but to leave under the leadership of the Cloud King to find a place to live. Only then did we come to this boundary. However, the Cloud Cloud King's power was weak, so he was imprisoned here by the Ming Tribe. The other tribes were scattered all over this world."
Only now did Gong Xi Zao understand her background. He sighed and said, "My Eastern Wasteland Country once had an alliance with your clan. However, after the collapse of the country, your clansmen all left."
Yun Zhu thought for a moment, then said, "That must be the Congealing Cloud Tribe. At the time, the tribe king was still alive, and they were much more powerful than my tribe. If the Cloud Tribe signs an alliance with someone, we will never betray them. I heard that the Eastern Wasteland Nation's two High Priests were appointed to the Beyond the Heavens, and there were fewer offerings, so they went to live elsewhere."
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gong Xi Zao. "Appointed to the Beyond the Heavens?"
Cold sweat trickled down Gong Xi Zao's back. He clasped his hands together and said, "The High Priest is truly forgiving. I didn't intentionally hide it from the High Priest. It's just that this matter has been passed down by word of mouth, and it's hard to tell if it's true or not. According to the rumors, two decrees descended from the Heavens. After the two High Priests received them, they said that they were going to the Beyond the Heavens to be appointed. They didn't mention anything else."
Zhang Yan smiled. "This is a secret of your Eastern Wasteland Nation. It's only natural that you didn't tell me. You didn't do anything wrong, so why ask for my forgiveness?"
Gong Xi Zao nodded repeatedly.
As the three of them walked, they commented on the demons here one by one. After about half a day, they walked out of this place. In front of them, there was a towering, rolling green cloud.
Yun Zhu said, "The Heavenly Clear Sky is a natural object in this world. It's rumored that there's a small world in the Clear Sky. This object can be separated or combined. If the Great Sage Green Nightmare takes a liking to one of his children, he'll bestow a ball of it to him."
Gong Xi Zao exclaimed, "This Clear Sky is so huge. It must be the Great Sage Green Nightmare's possession."
Yun Zhu said, "Exactly. This Heavenly Clear Sky is controlled by the King of the Annihilating Ming Clan."
Gong Xi Zao stared at it and thought, "There must be something bad inside."
Just by looking at the corpses of the demons outside, one could tell that the Annihilating Ming Clan had killed countless enemies over the tens of thousands of years. They must have gained a lot. In terms of safe storage, there was no place that could compare to this Heavenly Clear Sky.
As the three of them got closer, the ball of green cloud emitted a thick layer of blood light.
Yun Zhu said, "Heavenly True, this Clear Sky has been refined by the blood of the Demon Kings. I'm afraid only the Demon King Green Nightmare can enter."
Zhang Yan didn't deny it. He studied it for a while. The so-called blood refinement was just to infuse blood and Qi into it. While the method was crude, it was still very useful. If someone tried to force their way in, this ball of green cloud would probably dissipate.
He thought for a while. The easiest way to open this place was to refine the blood and Qi bit by bit.
If it was just one person, it would probably take decades to a hundred years. However, if it was a formation, five or six Grotto-Heavens working together would be able to open a gap in a few days.
He asked, "Clan Leader Zhu, is there still this Heavenly Clear Sky in the Cold Jade Ocean Continent? Do the other realms still exist? "
Yun Zhu said, "There are dozens of others in the Cold Jade Ocean Continent, but none of them can compare to this Clear Sky. I once heard the Tribe Leader say that there is a Heavenly Clear Sky Cloud above the Western Desolate Region. However, it is covered by boundless astral lightning. Even the Ancient Demon Great Sages would be smashed into smithereens if they weren't careful. Very few people can go there."
Gongxi Zao said excitedly, "I've also heard of this. It is said that every hundred years, the lightning tides will weaken. That is when the opportunity to enter is there. In the Eastern Wasteland, High Priest Gongtuo also went there to explore, but he didn't go very deep. He said that it is not some small world, but a realm that is not inferior to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
The Mountain and Sea Realm had never had a name. Every tribe and race had their own names. When he heard Zhang Yan and the others use this name, he followed suit.
Hearing this, Zhang Yan's interest was piqued. If there really was such a realm, then he would have to find an opportunity to explore it.
At this time, he suddenly sensed a weak aura emerging from the green cloud. His heart trembled, and he used his divine will to sense it. Suddenly, a lotus flower as large as a mountain appeared in front of him, although it looked somewhat dispirited and listless.
Before coming here, he had inquired about Great Sage Qing Ying's past accomplishments. As soon as he saw this lotus flower, he could vaguely guess its origin.
However, there must be a reason why this demonic lotus was trapped here. Since the blood qi in the green cloud had not been resolved, there was no need to be anxious to figure it out. He could deal with it later.
After making up his mind, he and the other two retreated from the way they had come. When they were outside, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Gongxi, what do you plan to do after coming down?"
Gongxi Zao said, "Master Zao and I have troubled you for a long time. Now, we have to find a way to get to the Eastern Wastelands and report this matter to the King. After that, we will discuss the matter of forming an alliance with you."
Zhang Yan nodded. "The journey is long, and there are demons and devils everywhere. I will give you a Gold Spirit Cloud Raft. It is fast and can protect you on the way."
Gongxi Zao quickly thanked him. At the same time, he relaxed a little. After witnessing the battle prowess of the cultivators of the Nine Continents, he knew that even if the Hundred Nations of the Eastern Wastelands joined forces, they would not be able to resist them. He was deeply afraid that these outsiders would come back and swallow the other nations. But now, it seemed that they were willing to abide by their previous agreement.
At this time, Yun Zhu said, "Grand Palace Master, if you are going to the Eastern Wastelands, you might as well bring a few of my clansmen with you. That way, it will be convenient for you to come and go. However, you will have to pay tribute."
Gongxi Zao was delighted. This was a good thing that he could not ask for. Although the Eastern Wastelands was not as prosperous as the God Nation in the past, they could still support a few cloud whales. He immediately agreed and said, "Rest assured, Clan Master Yun. I will take good care of your clansmen and will not mistreat them."
Outside the Cold Jade Ocean Continent, a large tree stood quietly on an island. At this moment, a green fruit on the branch suddenly swelled. The branch could not bear the weight and quickly fell to the ground.
The green fruit split into two halves, and Jing Pan Great Sage emerged from within. However, he still looked a little shaken. He looked in the direction of the Ocean Continent and saw that the Heaven Patching Diagram was still hanging in the sky. He thought to himself, "I wonder how Qing Pi Great Sage is doing. Since this thing is still there, it bodes ill rather than well. If those cultivators know that I came to report, they will definitely try to kill me. I need to find a force that is not weaker than the Ming Clan to rely on."
