Jiang Yi and Feng Luan had discussed for six full hours while Qing Yu would also chip in with some ideas. However, she was ultimately chased aside by Jiang Yi and Feng Luan because all her ideas were rotten.
“Alright, we will do it like this! Since She Fei and Jian Wuying want to play, then we will play with them!”
Jiang Yi finally made a decision. Feng Luan was once the Thearch of the Phoenix Cry Continent and had grown up in an imperial clan since she was born, making her macro perspective much stronger. After discussing with her for some time, Jiang Yi’s originally blurry ideas were now much clearer; and he had a much firmer resolution to fight a war with She Fei and Jian Wuying.
If he didn’t beat them up, they would certainly not rest on this matter. Jiang Yi was about to land into an endless pursuit, and he wasn’t going to be able to do anything else. Neither would he have any time to continue cultivating. The two clans were extremely powerful, and a single order was enough to make him run around like a stray dog, putting him in a desperate situation. He might just perish at any moment.
He had to fight this battle and beat up both of these clans so badly that they would think it was a hard bone to chew on, making them give up their pursuit on him.
What he needed the most right now was time. If he didn’t reach the Heaven Monarch Realm, he would have no chance in resisting against those great clans. If he dared to enter the East Imperial Continent now, it would be no difference to a moth going into the fire. He was going to be crushed into pieces easily.
Returning to his room, Jiang Yi released his Divine Perception to check that no one was within their nearby 10,000 miles radius. He transmitted a message to the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Thearch: “Golden Flood Dragon, come in for a moment.”
The Golden Flood Dragon was meditating in a room. Once it heard Jiang Yi’s transmitted message, it quickly walked in and bowed with respect. “Master!”
Jiang Yi casually waved his hand and said, “Golden Flood Dragon, you don’t have to worry too much. As long as you serve under me for 100 years and if both of us don’t die, I will surely return your freedom back to you.”
The Golden Flood Dragon’s inflexible face instantly revealed a pleasantly surprised look. He quickly bowed with cupped hands and thanked him. “Many thanks, Master.”
Demon emperors had a very long lifespan which allowed them to easily live up to a few thousand years. A hundred years was just like a flick of a finger for them. Previously, he had been subdued by an absolute expert and had served under him for several hundred years. When the expert’s life was coming to an end, he returned the Golden Flood Dragon’s soul seal. It didn’t expect for Jiang Yi to be so forthright and only required him to serve for 100 years?
“Take a seat. I don’t have so many rules here and don’t call me Master in the future. Call me Lord!”
Jiang Yi beckoned his hands, indicating for the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Thearch to come and sit by the side. The demon thearch didn’t dare to sit; thus, Jiang Yi didn’t bother. He took out a brush and paper from the ancient divine essence ring and drew the map of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. He then circled the Phoenix Cry Continent, Hidden Dragon Continent, Pegasus Continent, and East Imperial Continent… and asked the demon thearch, “This map is correct, right?”
The demon thearch took a closer look and nodded. “My Lord, it is basically correct, but the East Imperial Continent is much bigger, and the easternmost side of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea is connected to the Endless Deep Sea. The Blood Night Fearsome Sea is much bigger than my Lord’s imagination.”
With the assistance from the Golden Flood Dragon, Jiang Yi completed the map of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea and spoke in a serious voice, “Alright, how much do you understand about the demon thearchs of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea? Do you know which section belongs to the demon thearch’s territories? What are the strengths of the demon thearchs? Tell me everything, I will memorize them.”
The demon thearch blinked his eyes with confusion as it didn’t know what Jiang Yi was thinking about. Could he be thinking to subdue all the demon thearchs? Wouldn’t he be infuriating the sovereigns of the demonic beasts in the center of the Fearsome Sea?
Of course, he didn’t dare to ask so much. He pondered for a moment and replied, “According to what I know, the Fearsome Sea has more than 200 demon thearchs. We, who are from the Blood Sea, are not qualified to enter the center of the Fearsome Sea. No one knows how many demon thearchs are there inside. Master… if you want to subdue the demon thearchs, then you better give up your plan.
“If you subdue more than 10 demon thearchs, the demon sovereigns in the center of the sea would definitely be enraged. Tens of thousands of years ago, there was an expert from the East Imperial Continent’s ancient clan that was subduing demon thearchs in the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. He ended up infuriating the demon sovereigns which went on a pursuit onto the East Imperial Continent. Finally, they even killed that expert in front of one of the Nine Thearchs’ Clan Head. It was a very huge commotion back then…”
“Demon sovereign? And there a few of them?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes contracted. He too knew that in the center of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea, there were powerful demons that were comparable to the East Imperial Nine Thearchs. This was his first time hearing about the title ‘Demon Sovereign’. He curiously asked, “What realm are the demon sovereigns in? Are they even superior to the demon thearchs? Are they truly able to go against the East Imperial Nine Thearchs? How many demon sovereigns does this world have?”
“Naturally!”
The demon thearch spoke proudly, “During the ancient times, the Demon Race had once governed the entire Stellarsky Domain, and there were several hundred demon sovereigns back then. Afterward, the Mystic Thearch appeared and had nearly wiped out all the demon sovereigns. The current demon sovereigns were the ones that slowly cultivated their way up. Every demon sovereign had astounding demonic powers. It was rumored that the Beastman Continent, Pegasus Continent, and the Umbra Continent were once a united great continent. However, because a demon sovereign wanted to split up the lands for its own descendants, it casually struck out two attacks, which created the Flying Beast Sea and the Flying Shadow Sea…
“The demon sovereigns and the East Imperial Nine Thearchs were of the same level as those Human Race’s old monsters. They are all beyond the Heaven Monarch Realm, and an existence close to gods. If they could take the final step, they would be able to smash the void and transcend, achieving immortality. A pity that… apart from the ancient demon sovereigns that were able to transcend, no other demon sovereigns were able to transcend in the recent hundreds of thousands of years. It was rumored that there was a black tortoise in the Endless Deep Sea that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. If there was any demon race that had hopes of transcending, it would be him.”
After the demon thearch made his explanation, Jiang Yi had completely clearer understanding of the martial arts realm in this world!
In the outside world, Vajra Realm martial artists were everywhere; and only Heaven Monarch Realm was barely considered an expert, but there were also plenty of them. The true experts of the Stellarsky Domain were those old monsters, the various clan heads of the ancient clans, the concealed Sect Patriarchs, who were all above the Heaven Monarch Realm. They had the power that was close to the gods, and any further, they would reach the realm of the Mystic Thearch who smashed the void and transcended.
“Huuu…”
Right at this moment, his heart had grown particularly heavy. In the past, he was so naive to believe that as long as he obtained the Destitute Dragon Grass and diligently cultivated to break through the Heaven Monarch Realm, he would have a chance to sweep across the East Imperial Continent and go against the Martial Arts Hall. From the looks of it now, he was too far away; and he still had a very long road to walk.
A single move to split apart the Beastman Continent and the Pegasus Continent?
Jiang Yi had traveled across the Flying Beast Sea and the Flying Shadow Sea. They might be inland seas, but they were at least hundreds of thousands of miles in width. A single move to make such vast inland seas? This wasn’t a capability that a Human Race would have. It was definitely close to a combat power that a god would possess.
During this period of time, Jiang Yi had been suppressed the Nine Thearchs’ Clans’ descendants to obtain the three treasures. He then escaped under the eyes of dozens of Heaven Monarchs and just took down two of the She Clan’s Heaven Monarch. This had made him rather proud and assumed that the experts of the East Imperial Continent were nothing much.
Now that he thought about it, his back was drenched with cold sweat. He had never exchanged moves with a true expert, and he had yet to witness a true ability. He had underestimated the experts of this world.
“Alright, let’s not talk about these!”
Jiang Yi shook his head. Those existences close to gods were too far away from him. He better think of how to settle this predicament first. He pulled himself together and said in a solemn voice, “Golden Flood Dragon, tell me about the hiding places of the demon thearchs in the Fearsome Sea. Especially those powerful demonic beasts. Shortly, we will let She Fei’s people have some good fun.”
