Capítulo 1454: Chapter 1439: Five Immortals Island
Within the third layer of Xiansheng Water Palace Underground Palace on the Primordial Continent, intense light continuously flickered for a few moments, and countless ‘corpses’ suddenly appeared scattered in the ancient teleportation formation.
Today, the one on duty in the Underground Palace is the Great Saint of Jinghai. When he rushed over and discovered the commotion, he was startled by the sight before his eyes.
“Fourth Brother, you’ve returned. Who are they?” The Great Saint of Jinghai asked, pointing at the unconscious True Forms of the Three Saints’ descendants scattered all over the ground.
“Big Brother, the people who had plans against the two passages there are too many. Moreover, to prevent any mishap or leaks, I specially prepared a sedative to knock them out before bringing them over.
Even if there is a leak, at most, it would only reveal the existence of the True Profound Continent. The passages and methods of passage, however, remain unknown to them.”
“Big Brother, I’ll first move them outside. You should notify Second Brother and Third Brother to come and get them. This ancient teleportation formation must not be revealed to them.”
Ye Zhen took out the Spirit Beast Bag again and made several trips, moving all the unconscious individuals out of the ancient teleportation formation before feeding them the antidote refined by Shuili Dan King.
According to previous regulations, even the bloodline descendants of the three Great Saints of Jinghai must have their Divine Souls sealed at this moment.
The first task was for the three Great Saints of Jinghai to seal the Divine Souls of three thousand members of the Demon Race. The expressions of Shuili Dan King, Gai Jun, Ning Shiyi, and Wen Fuguo, who had just regained consciousness, became unbelievably shocked.
“The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here…”
“No, the Heavenly Dao here seems different from the True Profound Continent, perhaps even…”
Before they could finish speaking, both Wen Fuguo and Shuili Dan King sat cross-legged on the ground, and the aura surrounding them began to fluctuate violently. Upon arriving at the Primordial Continent, they immediately broke through the bottleneck of cultivation they had been stuck in for nearly a century.
Ye Zhen’s excursion to the True Profound Continent lasted a total of one year and two months.
During this one year and two months, the cultivation of the Great Saints of Jinghai underwent astonishing changes.
Previously, because Ye Zhen provided a large number of Demon Cores of similar bloodlines to enhance their cultivation, the advancements of the three, aside from the Great Sage of Fug Hai, were incredibly remarkable.
The cultivation of the Great Sage of Jinghai and the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking reached the Peak of Ninth-Stageed Dao Entrance respectively two months and one month ago.
They are currently stuck at the Ninth Stage Peak, but according to them, the difficulty of breaking through for them is much smaller compared to Ye Zhen.
Their estimation is that, at the earliest, in three months or at the latest, in half a year, they would smoothly breakthrough.
Although the time is short, Ye Zhen still felt it was somewhat long. Ye Zhen planned to have them both activate the ancient teleportation formation to visit the True Profound Continent. The differences in the Heavenly Dao Laws between the True Profound Continent and the Primordial Continent could allow them to breakthrough to the Divine Communication Realm in the shortest possible time.
Compared to the Great Sage of Jinghai and the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking, the cultivation progress of the Great Sage of Fug Hai was somewhat slower, reaching only the Peak of Eight Stage Dao Entrance and needing at least half a year to reach the Peak of Ninth-Stageed Dao Entrance.
Sister Liao Feibai’s cultivation advancement, however, was a surprise to Ye Zhen.
Perhaps due to the dual support of the large amount of High Grade Profound Ice Spirit Stones left by Ye Zhen and the Spirit Void Fruits that could boost the speed of comprehending Dao Patterns, Sister Liao Feibai’s cultivation raced forward to the Seventh Stage of Dao Entrance Realm within a year and two months.
The cultivation surge of the four, especially the three Great Saints of Jinghai, amidst consecutive ingestion of Spirit Void Fruits boosting their bloodline, saw their combat power multiply many times over.
The strength of Xiansheng Water Palace saw an earth-shattering transformation over this year.
Liao Feibai, for instance, now relying on the might of Youluo Cold Evil, can withstand forces from Dark Palace Realm martial artists.
Once the Great Sage of Jinghai breaks through to the Divine Communication Realm, defeating early-stage Dark Palace Realm martial artists would be no difficulty at all.
If Ye Zhen were to help them refine a complete set of Suppressing Devices in the future, they might be able to handle late-stage Dark Palace Realm martial artists as well.
Ye Zhen had just returned and primarily aimed to sort things out.
A large area was allocated within Xiansheng Water Palace for Shuili Dan King and others to reside and practice alchemy.
The three Great Saints of Jinghai focused on training their bloodline descendants.
Once these matters were straightened out, the Great Sage of Jinghai and the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking took time to activate the ancient teleportation formation and visit the True Profound Continent to leverage the breakthrough to the Divine Communication Realm, achieving this one month later.
“Fourth Brother, according to the intelligence for over a year now, the forces competing for Huaifeng Water Palace have suffered heavy vital energy losses, yet are gathering strength and looking for a chance to seize control of the Huaifeng Water Palace. This is the situation of the competing Water Demons for Huaifeng Water Palace.” In the water palace of Xiansheng Water Mansion, everyone gathered for discussion.
After examining the intelligence closely, Ye Zhen looked up and said, “So, big brother, are you planning to make a move?”
“I feel the time is almost right! The three thousand soldiers under my command also need to be trained; combat is the fastest way to grow,” said the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
“With our current strength, we can indeed take control of Huaifeng Water Palace in one fell swoop. The larger the territory we actually control, the more soldiers we can bring over, and the more stable our territory in the North Sea will be,” stated the Jinghai Great Saint.
However, Ye Zhen’s gaze turned towards the trio he brought this time: Gai Jun, Ning Shiyi, and Mr. Wen from Wen Fuguo.
Although the three Great Saints laid the foundation of Heavenly Wing Island through personal formidable strength, compared to the Stars Tower, a power that has infiltrated every city on the True Profound Continent, and Dragon Island, whose influence spans the entire Outer Domain Dead Sea, they are somewhat lacking in strategic aspects.
Gai Jun and the other two naturally understood Ye Zhen’s implication. The three, being old rivals, exchanged a look, finally focusing their gaze on Mr. Wen, who clearly understood their meaning.
Mr. Wen slightly bowed, acknowledging Ye Zhen, Jinghai, Fug Hai, the Sea-Breaking, and Liao Feibai.
During the short month on the Primordial Continent, Mr. Wen had already found his footing.
On the True Profound Continent, these people before him were all his juniors, but now, they three were at best the strategists for these five.
Moreover, their lives were completely in Ye Zhen’s hands, and the achievements and positions they could attain in the future would be entirely dependent on Ye Zhen and the Jinghai Great Saint’s stature.
The greater Ye Zhen and Jinghai’s powers, the higher their positions would be.
However, as strategists, without demonstrating certain capabilities, it’s impossible to gain substantial reliance. Strategizing is precisely his forte.
“Four Great Saints, we don’t necessarily need to take over the Huaifeng Water Palace in one move. Since the four Grand Demons targeting Huaifeng Water Palace are all severely injured, why should we take over Huaifeng Water Palace and provoke an attack from the four clans?”
Mr. Wen hit the nail on the head with one sentence, causing the Jinghai Great Saint to ponder, “Indeed, once we forcefully take over Huaifeng Water Palace, it will surely attract an attack from the four clans. So, Mr. Wen, what do you suggest?”
“Great Saint, rather than being besieged by the four, why don’t we first dispatch troops and annex the forces of those four seriously injured Grand Demons one by one, strengthening ourselves? Then taking over Huaifeng Water Palace will become a natural course of action,” suggested Mr. Wen.
Hearing this, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint furrowed his brow, “But, those four Grand Demons aren’t fools; if we attack them one by one, they might just band together.”
“Great Saint, we can take one by surprise and swallow one of them effortlessly. By the time they react, we will certainly have the time to annex the second one.
If only two are left, even if they react, what can they do? By that time, the situation will be set, and even if they respond, what can they do?”
As soon as Mr. Wen finished speaking, Fug Hai Great Saint began clapping, “If that’s the way, we can not only take control of Huaifeng Water Palace with minimal losses but potentially double our own strength.”
Just with a plan, Mr. Wen exhibited enough brilliance regarding the strategy for occupying Huaifeng Water Palace, so Ye Zhen refrained from interference. With the assistance of Mr. Wen, Gai Jun, and Ning Shiyi, expanding the power in the North Sea was merely a matter of time.
According to Ye Zhen’s plan, after a few years of training in Xiansheng Water Palace, Mr. Wen and the others would elevate their cultivation to the Divine Communication Realm, and Ye Zhen would then lead them to oversee North Sea County.
Otherwise, if their cultivation was too low, they would be wiped out prematurely, which would also be a significant loss.
“Big brother, have there been any updates on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects that can replenish origin power and the nearby market conditions?” After the discussion ended, Ye Zhen inquired about official matters.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects concern the awakening of the Water Demon, while the market concerns Ye Zhen’s Golden Passage endeavor.
Jinghai Great Saint looked somewhat embarrassed, “Fourth brother, I apologize. Over the past year, we’ve gathered a lot of information on the markets, but we haven’t found any news on Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects that can replenish origin power.”
Ye Zhen’s expression darkened; this situation had been anticipated.
“In the North Sea, there are countless large and small markets; however, the largest distribution centers for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are only two markets: Chaotic Sky Island and Five Immortals Island. Products from the Human Clan, Demon Clan, Demon Race on the Primordial Continent, and various Little Worlds can be found in these two markets,” stated the Jinghai Great Saint.
“Chaotic Sky Island is quite close to our Xiansheng Water Palace, only a round trip of half a month, and we are familiar with the situation. Moreover, the transaction safety is much better.
The Five Immortals Island is quite far; a round trip takes over a month, and its surroundings are mixed, quite chaotic. According to our thoughts, fourth brother, it would be better to choose Chaotic Sky Island for establishing a long-term trading channel!”
At this point, the Fug Hai Great Saint paused, “However, despite the chaos, Five Immortals Island gathers more strange characters and remarkable people, and we’ve detected that it often releases some secret messages. Some people have even released news about Innate Spiritual Treasures there, but as for their authenticity, it’s unknown!”
“Often releases secret messages? Has there been news about Heavenly Spirit Treasures?” Ye Zhen’s eyes flickered, “In that case, I must take a trip to this Five Immortals Island.”
