Chapter 996: Chapter 996

It was obvious that when the Southern Sea's overall environment was violent and chaotic in those years, this place was relatively peaceful.

This was especially rare.

So, many opportunists have met their ends because of this island.

Over the years, many people have come to the Southern Sea exploring new territories, wave after wave.

Recently, there's been a significant conflict with the Sea Clan as the territory explorers from the south and north finally clashed.

But this place has little to do with such matters; it remains peaceful.

Seeing Ji Meng again, his strength has recovered quite a bit. His aura is obscure and concealed, indicating he probably has returned to the Ninth Tier. But going forward, it might not be fast.

However, with the eldest sister-in-law here, the problem isn't big, nor dangerous, just slowly recovered.

The two strong cultivators of the Liao Family have been here focusing on closed-door cultivation, having a great time.

After some casual chat, Yu Ziqing found a topic to discuss.

"This time, there are some matters regarding the Southern Sea that I would like to inquire about. This is my teacher from home."

"Well..." Ji Meng looked a bit uneasy.

"If it's inconvenient, just forget it."

"It's not really inconvenient; it's just that I indeed don't know much. Perhaps, you should ask my wife."

At this moment, light rain fell, and the voice of the elder sister-in-law sounded in Yu Ziqing's and Yang's ears.

"Let me do it; he indeed doesn't know much."

Yu Ziqing signaled to Yang, who immediately went for a private chat with the sister-in-law.

Yu Ziqing stayed to urgently discuss other matters with Ji Meng.

"There is still one thing that I need to inform my big brother about: Dadui will return hundreds of years later."

Yu Ziqing vaguely mentioned some, but didn't reveal that he was already the new Emperor Dui.

Upon hearing Yu Ziqing's tone and the extensive arrangements, Ji Meng roughly understood.

He looked at Yu Ziqing with some surprise and uncertainty.

"As you think, by coincidence and circumstance, things have become this way, I never intended it.

But things have reached this point, I can't just wash my hands of it.

So, this time, there are still some things I wish to ask about.

For example, regarding the events of those years, I believe no one knows better than you."

Ji Meng sighed softly.

"Did Emperor Dui fall?"

"He did, truth be told, he had indeed tried his best. I will record things in their entirety, leaving what is as is, not just besmirching, leaving right and wrong for later generations to judge."

Upon hearing this, Ji Meng stood up and bowed to Yu Ziqing.

"When I first met him, he hadn't yet taken the throne; I could see back then that his eyes were still bright.

Later, when I saw him again, it seemed he had countless thoughts weighing on him.

At that time, all I could see was that Dadui had many and very troublesome problems.

Yet I hadn't anticipated that by then, it was beyond remedy, unable to be turned around.

He helped us a lot, and I tried my best to extinguish the fires, ending up in the current predicament.

Looking back, suffering back then might not have been bad; to still have life now might just be luck.

Had I not suffered then, sinking for years, and avoided the subsequent chaos, I might have already completely fallen.

The interior matters of Dadui back then, I indeed don't know much; I was just entrusted by someone to do one thing.

Back then, I thought it was a trick, but to repay a great favor, I accepted this result.

Looking at it now, it's impossible to know the real internal details."

No one knows if the former Emperor Dui was simply trying to deceive him or using one affair to make him repay a favor, forcing him to remain uninvolved henceforth.

"As for what you mentioned, the matter of Silver Lake, taking the entire Silver Lake into the Southern Sea could be feasible.

But it would take a huge amount of time, and now that the southern part of the Wilderness has stabilized, making a major change might not be wise.

In my opinion, divert part of Silver Lake and leave part within the Forbidden Land of Silver Lake's range.

Just reduce the risk without making big changes is the best action.

Regarding your concern about Silver Lake causing issues, don't worry, my treasure is still there.

With this item suppressing it, Silver Lake won't cause much harm.

The return of Dadui isn't much of an issue.

With Silver Lake containing the southern Wilderness, the sea moisture from the Southern Sea won't excessively move north, and the southern Wilderness won't fall into drought; this is actually beneficial.

The living beings within Silver Lake, you need not worry, they won't leave Silver Lake.

There's even less to worry about for the Southern Sea side, nothing problematic will occur.

Since you're here, stay for a few more days; this island was meticulously selected by me and your sister-in-law, specially reserved for you."

Speaking of this, Ji Meng became spirited, pulling Yu Ziqing around the island, and those small islands also followed to explore.

By the way, he pulled him to see the scenery of the sea, the seabed, various resources in the sea, and a lot of clearly artificially planted Spiritual Medicine.

After finished, he took Yu Ziqing to the depths of the Big Island to show him the naturally derived Grotto Heaven.

Inside the Grotto Heaven, Spiritual Energy was extremely dense, with a Spirit Pond condensed atop a high peak, Spiritual Liquid cascading, nurturing the entire Grotto Heaven.

Though no living beings were within, quite a bit of vegetation and Spiritual Medicine had already been planted. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩

Yu Ziqing was amazed, having been accustomed to Jinlan Mountain's desolation, suddenly finding himself in such a place with excellent environment, he truly felt a bit uneasy.

If it were a Qi Refining cultivator with low strength, they might not manage well and experience intoxication by Spiritual Energy here.
