The Ocean Emperor brought Ye Tian and Hai Mengyi with him and spent only an hour before arriving at the Ocean Imperial Palace. A single glance revealed a crystal palace, which was even more resplendent than the Dragon Palace described in the books on earth during the night.
As soon as Xuan Tian landed on the ground, an old man and a woman came out to greet him. As soon as Hai Mengyi saw the woman, she affectionately ran over and called out to her mother. At this time, the old man cupped his hands towards Xuan Tianqing and said: "Your Majesty came back so quickly, did you run into any trouble along the way?"
"Hehe, it was still successful. But, by the time I went there, little friend Ye had already settled it." Xuan Tianqing laughed.
Hearing that, the elder looked at Ye Tian and smiled, "Since the princess has safely arrived, we should head in to discuss our next plan. There are quite a few experts in the Three Clans Alliance this time. They could start a war with us at any time."
"Yes, everyone else is here?" Xuan Tianqing asked.
"They are all waiting for his Majesty in the main hall." The old man bowed and answered.
"Lan Yun, you should bring Meng Yi to rest first. As for little friend Ye, how about you follow me in?" Xuan Tianqing turned around and said to Ye Tian.
"Hehe, it's entirely up to Senior Sovereign of the Seas to arrange everything." Ye Tian bowed. Ye Tian didn't know why Xuan Tianqing had allowed him to enter, but he still clearly remembered Xuan Tianqing killing more than ten Rogue Immortals with a single sword strike. Thus, he agreed; after all, it was best not to offend these seven Loose Immortals.
Ye Tian discovered that there were already over ten people standing in the hall. Ye Tian couldn't see through any of these people, but from Ye Tian's experience fighting with some of the cultivators in the sea realm, Ye Tian felt that the aura exuded by these people was at least at the fourth level of tribulation or Loose Immortal cultivation.
Seeing Xuan Tianqing enter, everyone began to greet him. Xuan Tianqing walked directly to the highest seat of the great hall, while Ye Tian followed the old man and stood below.
"Everyone, what countermeasures do you have for the Three Clan Alliance to subvert our Sea Palace's control over the sea?" Xuan Tianqing asked directly.
Your Majesty, we have discussed the battle with the three Tribes, and I think that the outcome of this battle is about fifty percent. Even if we win, the Sea Palace will probably suffer a major blow to our strength, and at that time, the neutral races will take the opportunity to join hands and launch an attack. When that time comes, the Sea Palace will be in danger, so we feel that it would be better to negotiate peace with the three Tribes and take charge of the sea. At this moment, the old man beside Ye Tian suddenly stepped forward and said.
"Fifty percent? The Ocean Imperial Palace has existed since the ancient times. After so many years of development, the victor is actually fifty percent? " Xuan Tianqing expressionlessly asked after hearing this. No one knew what he was thinking.
Yes, Your Majesty. According to the statistics of the old me, there are eighteen members of the clan with and above the Five Calamity Rogue Immortals of the Heavenly Whale Tribe, seventeen members of the Black Shark Tribe, and twenty-three of the strongest members of the Black Turtle Tribe. Adding them together, the three Tribes Alliance already has sixty members with a reputation above the Five Calamity Rogue Immortals and seven Calamity Rogue Immortals. The old man replied respectfully.
"Is that what you mean?" Xuan Tianqing asked indifferently.
When everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads in silence. When Xuan Tian saw this, he coldly snorted: "Hmph, my Ocean Imperial Palace has always controlled the sea realm since the ancient era. Now that the ruling races want to subvert the control of my Ocean Imperial Palace, you still need to talk to them about how you can control the sea realm together. Where is the dignity of my Ocean Imperial Palace? Where is my dignity?"
Xuan Tianqing released his aura as he spoke, causing a pressure of seven tribulations and Loose Immortals to instantly cover the entire hall. Xuan Tianqing was clearly angry, but the faces of the people below had turned ghastly white under the pressure, while the old man's face also revealed fear. Ye Tian was even weaker, and under the pressure, he almost kneeled down, but he gritted his teeth and endured.
This is the glory of our Sea Palace, and it must be protected at all times. As for the strength of the three clans alliance that Great Elder, I do not care, so I believe you have all heard about the attack on the Sea Demon Clan by the crown prince of the Tianfeng Clan, the Sea Centipede, which caused the loss of six tribulations and the scattering of immortals among the eighty thousand Heavenly Whale Clan members. For example, today, the Whale Clan has suffered a great loss of vitality. This way, my Ocean Imperial Palace will have the upper hand. "
"But your majesty, what if we just beat the three clans alliance? What if those neutral races take the opportunity to attack us? You have to know that their alliance isn't inferior to a super race." The old man advised again after hearing this.
Then let me tell you again, just an hour ago, the Patriarch of the Blood Fish clan, Xue Qianli, had already been killed by little friend Ye Tian. As for the rest of the small clan leaders, they had also been cut down by my sword, and I have already ordered the Demon Sea Race to take over their forces. Xuan Tian said in a clear voice.
Your Majesty, are you saying that this little friend killed Xue Qian and Zhang He Dong? This is a Six Calamity Rogue Immortal. This little friend's cultivation is only at the early stage of Soul Formation, right? " The old man pointed at Ye Tian and asked.
Perhaps you all still don't know about this, but it was this little friend Ye Tian that laid down a great formation to trap 80,000 famous clansmen of the Heavenly Whale Clan and then single-handedly killed six Five Tribulations Rogue Immortals of the Tianfeng Clan. At that time, there was a rumour that little friend Ye had a top-grade immortal artifact and was only able to kill six Five Tribulations Rogue Immortals. Xuan Tianqing's expression softened as he smiled and said.
When everyone heard this, they looked at Ye Tian in disbelief. At this time, Xuan Tianqing spoke again in a clear voice: "That's why I thought that the three clans' alliance wouldn't be that difficult to deal with. Our Ocean Imperial Palace must eliminate all of them this time in order to safeguard the dignity of our Ocean Imperial Palace.
How could the crowd not understand the meaning behind Xuan Tianqing's words? Thus, they all began to shout loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, we vow to defend the honor and dignity of the Ocean Imperial Palace to the death, and cannot be violated."
"Haha, everyone, I am very gratified. This is the end of today's discussion. Let Great Elder and Wushang handle the rest of the matters." Xuan Tianqing nodded with a smile when he heard this.
The old man and a man with two horns on their head bowed to receive the order.
After everyone had dispersed, Xuan Tianqing, who was sitting at the top of the great hall, smiled and asked: "Little friend, at the start you were wondering why I let you come in. Now do you understand my intentions?"
"Junior understands. Thank you for proving that junior doesn't have any top-grade immortal equipment. Otherwise, junior might have been targeted by all the other cultivators in the sea." Ye Tian respectfully bowed towards Xuan Tianqing.
"Haha, little friend is indeed an intelligent person, but I have another intention, and that is to strike the mountain and shake the tiger." Haha, little friend is indeed an intelligent person, but I have another intention, and that is to strike the mountain and shake the tiger. Xuan Tianqing smiled faintly.
"This junior truly does not know." Ye Tian admitted it.
However, the interior of the Sea Palace has now been transformed into three factions. One is our clansmen, the real Ocean Emperor's clan, and the other is a force led by the Great Elder, many of them being experts from the older generation. The third is the Savage King's faction, which belongs to the alliance of experts from various small clans that have pledged allegiance to the Sea Imperial Palace for tens of thousands of years. Xuan Tianqing explained.
"But junior has seen that they are extremely respectful to senior?" Ye Tian asked in confusion.
Humph, they are not respectful to me, they are respectful to my Ocean Emperor Sword, which is the golden sword that is in my hands today, which is the inherited treasure of all the generations of Ocean Emperor. In every case, I am holding the Ocean Emperor Sword in my hands, when people fight with me, they will always be suppressed by me, and cultivators of the same cultivation level are no exception. Xuan Tianqing sneered.
Ye Tian's heart surged with warmth when he heard this. He immediately bowed to Xuan Tianqing and said, "What virtue or ability does this junior have to be able to cause senior to have to put so much effort?"
"Hehe, little friend is too polite. Little friend saved Meng Yi and saved the Sea Demon Race, I was just doing this. It's nothing much. "Alright, I believe little friend is also tired. I have ordered some people to arrange a place for little friend to stay. Little friend can go rest first." Xuan Tianqing smiled faintly.
Afterwards, Ye Tian was brought to a guest room. Ye Tian closed the door and sat cross-legged for a while before taking out the top grade spirit stones he had used for the last formation. He circulated the Demon God's Body and began absorbing the spirit energy to refine his body. Although the refining of the demonic god's body was more effective with the Natural Oddities or the energy of the world, all 981 scales had to turn black, so how could he find that much energy? Moreover, after Ye Tian had transformed most of the scales on his left shoulder into black, he could clearly feel that the might of the demonic god's body had increased by a lot, so he impatiently wanted to turn the scales into black.
Ye Tian held the top grade spirit stones in his room and absorbed them for several hours. He did spend quite a few spirit stones, but the black spots on the scale armor on his left shoulder didn't increase by much.
"Sigh, looks like I still have to find the Heaven and Earth powers or some other strange things to absorb. The refining speed of this spirit stone is too slow." Ye Tian helplessly thought.
And then, he used the Netherworld Great Emperor technique, and instantly, the Netherworld Great Emperor clone appeared behind Ye Tian.
"Do you have business with This Emperor?" Emperor of the Underworld's clone asked calmly.
"I'm afraid that there will be a great battle in the next few days, and I probably don't have the time to sacrifice some blood essence for you. Right now, I just happen to have the time to sacrifice some blood essence for you." As he spoke, Ye Tian forced out several mouthfuls of blood essence, which he then shot towards the Netherworld Great Emperor's clone.
"Hehe, little guy, you're a good person. This emperor likes you very much. Eh, why do you have the will of the Emperor of the Underworld on you?" It was rare for the Netherworld Great Emperor's clone to smile and speak. However, he immediately asked Ye Tian with a puzzled look.
"Underworld Emperor's Will?" Ye Tian was stunned when he heard this.
Originally, this was something that the Emperor of the Underworld would not be able to sense by relying on his remnant consciousness. However, the Emperor of Japan had waited for the six tribulations Loose Immortal's complete blood essence to awaken, causing the fragment of his remaining consciousness to be attracted over, causing the Emperor to recover some of his memories. Thank you for that. " Emperor of the Underworld's clone said calmly.
"On the items?" Do you think this is it? " Hearing this, Ye Tian took out a jade slip and two tokens from his storage ring.
The Netherworld Great Emperor's clone waved his hand and the jade slip and command medallion flew to his side. The Netherworld Great Emperor stared at the jade slip and command medallion for a while before throwing it to Ye Tian. Afterwards, a black mist shot out from his body and entered the two command medallions.
It was left behind by a certain Monarch of the Underworld before he perished. After being worn out for who knows how many years, it has already become a masterless object, and if I can lead you out and refine a bit of it, you can then cultivate in the way of my death. However, if you refine a bit, you can give me the last bit.
"Refine the will of the Emperor of the Underworld?" Ye Tian asked.
"That's right, after refining it, the benefits you will obtain will be endless, but refining it will also be rather difficult. Although it has to be said that this is only a trace, the Emperor of the Underworld and the God Emperor are at the same level, even if it's just a wisp of masterless will it still be quite terrifying. Underworld Emperor's clone replied.
