Chapter 598: Chapter 384: Sea Institute of Nine Peaks, Profound Turtle in the Well!
East Sea Coast.
Long Whale Sect.
This sect controls over ten thousand miles of territory along the East Sea shore and is a dominant force in the region.
However, this sect does not abuse its power; it thrives on "maritime transport."
But, this transportation involves not river transport, but sea transport.
In this world, the most challenging form of transport is maritime!
And East Sea transport is notorious, unrivaled in its fearsome reputation.
It’s because the East Sea houses the Dragon Court!
Within the Dragon Court resides the most powerful force in the world. Even though this power has dissipated, the forces it left behind are still enough to suppress the four seas.
Still, the distance transported by the Long Whale Sect extends to just a hundred thousand miles of the coastal East Sea, far from the Dragon Court, which is tens of millions of miles away, practically in another world.
Yet, despite such a vast distance, ordinary individuals dare not be reckless in the East Sea.
The boundary and authority of the sea and land are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Although the entire East Sea coast is rich in Spiritual Qi, for thousands of years, no major sect has stood in this place.
Danger, it’s too dangerous.
Only now, with great changes in the current situation, do many opportunists flock to this coastal area, seeking fortune.
And the Long Whale Sect, relying on its "Sea Race Demon" lineage, has firmly established itself here, prosperous due to "maritime transport," and gradually growing stronger.
"Set sail!"
At this moment, a vast Treasure Boat, escorted by three giant whales, unfurled a colossal Spirit Sail, breaking layer upon layer of sea waves, heading toward the boundless East Sea.
"Senior, here is the map of the whole hundred thousand miles of the East Sea, please take a look!"
At this moment, in a cabin on the top tier of the Treasure Boat, a Golden Core Early Stage elder with green skin respectfully presented a Jade Scroll to a handsome Daoist above.
"Thank you very much!"
Gu Yuan, with a slight smile, expressed his gratitude and took out a Storage Bag.
"No need to be overly courteous, Senior. It will take ten days for this journey, and there will be several island stops along the way. On these islands live some sea demons and half-demons who are close to the Human Race, possessing many Sea Race treasures. If Senior is interested, feel free to step ashore and have a look."
The elder, receiving the Storage Bag, felt slightly joyous and respectfully reminded once more.
"Thank you for letting me know."
"Then I won’t disturb you any longer, Senior!"
Seeing this, the elder bowed and bid farewell.
Afterward, Gu Yuan was left alone in the cabin. He picked up the Jade Scroll, scanned through it with his Divine Thought, examined the maps inside, and then appeared contemplative.
"East Sea’s 108 palaces..."
Ten days ago, after assisting Yuann Chengfu in slaying the Sky-splitting Giant Eagle and seizing the Red Blood Mijin Wood, Gu Yuan did not linger but used the Rainbow Transformation Technique to head straight to this East Sea shore.
Initially, he intended to transform into a rainbow, enter the sea, and use the map to seek that fortune.
But before entering the East Sea, he sensed a majestic and vast Qi far away, instantly stopped, and boarded this Treasure Boat of the Long Whale Sect, planning to collect information before treasure hunting.
"Dragon Court is indeed imposing, suppressing the East Sea, truly not affecting me..."
Gu Yuan set down the Jade Scroll, sighed slightly.
The Jade Scroll not only recorded the maps of tens of thousands of miles nearby but thoroughly introduced the structure of the East Sea, more updated than the classics he saw in the Daoist School.
The vastness of the East Sea is immeasurable, its vastness extends for tens of millions of miles.
Even a territory of a million miles is merely coastal to the East Sea.
Besides the Dragon Court suppressing everything, the East Sea has 108 palaces, each led by formidable Demon Race experts, ruling the ocean.
Each of these 108 palaces possesses terrifying "Sea Heaven Restrictions," isolating heaven and earth; Human Race cultivators wishing to enter the Dragon Court must brave 108 restrictions to enter.
As hard as ascending to heaven.
The nearest Demon Palace to the East Sea Shore is six million miles away, reportedly inhabited by a Tier Six Great Demon, comparable to a Celestial Spirit existence.
This six million miles of coastal sea area, though lacking Demon Palace presence, is populated by various Demon Race forces vying for the ocean.
The smaller forces are Great Demon level, while stronger ones are Demon King forces; deep sea near the Demon Palace also holds Tier Five Great Demons.
Demon Race factions slaughter among themselves, complicated further by the involvement of Human Race powers these years, making the situation even more intricate.
The Long Whale Sect, relying on the "Profound Whale Half-Demon Bloodline," managed to handle relationships within the hundred thousand miles of territory and thus managed to conduct the business of transportation, otherwise, they couldn’t survive.
The East Sea is unlike other places; the sea vein Spiritual Qi is abundant, and within the sea, demons with spiritual wisdom are plentiful, easily becoming spirits, resulting in Little Demons appearing endlessly; if relationships aren’t handled well, constant harassment would drive anyone mad.
"It’s a Blessed Immortal Sea and a perilous forbidden zone..."
Gu Yuan stepped to the window, gazing at the vast blue sea where sky and ocean meld as one, sighing once more.
A Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator can still maneuver across the East Mountain Realm, but deeper within the East Sea, they are merely ordinary.
Cultivation’s Third Realm is just the beginning!
"Haha, Lord, the Long Whale Sect’s pastries are indeed nice, seemed to be refined from the oil of Tier Three Spirit Fish, very fragrant and even enhance Spiritual Power!"
Gu Yuan’s mind stirred, and on the table in the cabin, a palm-sized golden Eagle Demon was clutching a crystal-clear pastry, its eyes showing delight.
Hearing the Heart-devouring Insect’s "comment," Gu Yuan helplessly shook his head.
The insect has been nurtured by him for too long, always going smoothly, about to be spoiled; it’s time to think of a way to put it through some experience.
