The Star Sea Dragon King remains an enigmatic existence, with no one truly understanding its nature. The vast and boundless Star Sea tightly envelops the Five Continents, serving as a formidable barrier for them.
Within the Star Sea dwell countless powerful sea beasts. Although each section of the Star Sea has a Dragon King stationed in Garrison, the expanse is so immense that the Four Star Sea Dragon Kings may merely be nominal rulers, or perhaps just one of the many overlords of the Star Sea.
Regardless, it is undeniable that the level of cultivation among the Four Star Cultivators generally surpasses that of the Five Continents. It is precisely because the Four Dragon Kings guard this treasure trove of the Star Sea that they have not extended their reach towards the Five Continents, maintaining a delicate balance between the two realms.
The information regarding Zuo Dao was once again placed before the Four Dragon Kings, but this time the focus shifted to Northern Crossing Qing and Nine People. The mystery surrounding Zuo Dao kept the Four Dragon Kings highly attentive to him, yet the emergence of Nine Flows Generation diverted some of their attention.
Ao Yu summoned the other three Dragon Kings to his residence once more.
"My esteemed brothers, it seems we have all misjudged this situation," Ao Yu remarked as he displayed images of Northern Crossing Qing and his companions in battle. "Their celestial spear techniques are pure ancient Mind Methods; this Nine People is merely a subordinate of Zuo Dao."
"Not only that, but the four types of elixirs leaked by Yan Wu Studio also originated from him," Ao Zhou added as he produced four vials from his storage space. "Yan Wu Studio has already acknowledged him as their master."
Although the Dragon Kings did not pay much heed to Chaos City, viewing it primarily as a contact point with the Five Continents, it did not imply that their control over Chaos City was weak.
"Do you think that boy has figured something out?" Ao Hong suddenly slammed his hand on the table. "There’s something strange about him, and his methods seem almost connected to ancient times."
"That shouldn't be possible, Third Brother. If that were true, he would be quite terrifying," Ao Yu shook his head in denial of Ao Hong's theory. "Even we took thousands of years to catch a glimpse of that matter."
"The main concern should still be those old monsters above the Five Continents," Aohuang's words drew everyone's attention.
"Are those old monsters from the Five Continents making any moves?" Ao Yu appeared casual but was clearly taking it seriously.
"My spies in several sects have been disappearing one after another lately—completely wiped out. They must have discovered something," Aohuang expressed his regret over losing those spies, who had taken considerable effort to infiltrate. Yet they vanished in such a short time.
"You think you're alone in this? I believe all four of our families are facing similar situations. However, since they’ve acted this way, their people within the Star Sea should also be dealt with—it's only fair," Ao Hong said nonchalantly about their lost manpower, noting that he still had several high-level Dark Children preserved.
“It's common for there to be changes in the Five Continents. Those people won't rise early without profit, and the idea of the Peak of the God of Combat has been on their minds for more than a year or two,” Ao Yu interrupted their conversation. “Right now, the most important thing is to clarify the issue with Zuo Dao. I have a bad feeling about this; this child will definitely impact our upcoming actions.”
The others were surprised by Ao Yu's concern for this child and exchanged cautious glances. They had great faith in Ao Yu's intuition, which was a unique legacy left behind by the ancient East Sea.
“Elder brother, why is that? Is it just because of the appearance of those few people?” Ao Zhou's gaze shifted back to the image.
“It’s not just because of that; it’s because of those four bottles of elixirs,” Ao Yu said with a bitter smile, shaking his head. “If someone in the city hadn’t told me that these elixirs contained a trace of something extraordinary, I wouldn’t have thought he would have such capabilities.”
“What? The elixirs contain Dao?” Ao Hong and the others were skeptical and picked up a bottle to examine it closely.
“No.”
“No.”
“This bottle is the same; elder brother, are you mistaken?” After confirming that he didn’t sense any aura of Dao in the last bottle, Ao Zhou asked.
“Have I not tried? At first, I didn’t believe it either. It was only after that person extracted that trace of Dao from the elixir that I started to believe,” Ao Yu recalled his shock at that moment. What kind of technique was that? Refining Dao into elixirs. “These four bottles should be crafted specifically for certain individuals, corresponding to a particular Cultivation Method. Only when that Cultivation Method reaches a certain Realm can one perceive it.”
“What!?” The three Star Sea Dragon Kings could no longer remain calm. They realized that if that Alchemist could craft Dao Dan specifically, it meant he could also create corresponding elixirs tailored to their own Cultivation Methods.
It was known that such Dao Dan were top-tier even in ancient times. They had complete legacies, and with a little effort, they could find out about them.
For any Cultivator, having access to such Dao Dan would allow them to progress at an astonishing speed during their training, without any hidden dangers or concerns about unstable foundations.
“Could it be that this child has obtained the legacy of some Great Immortal from ancient times or acquired a Cave from some Great Power?” Ao Hong expressed his disbelief.
As the Star Sea Dragon King, I have thoroughly studied all the ancient records that have survived. The difficulty of refining this "Dao Dan" is no less than that of refining a planet. It is important to note that in this era, even an Immortal Emperor would not dare to easily touch the will of a planet, let alone refine it.
"I don't believe it either, but this is happening right before my eyes," Ao Yu suddenly felt a bit troubled. "I have already arranged for someone to approach that child, but I don't know what the final outcome will be."
"So you had a plan all along, big brother!" Aohuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If big brother truly obtained the means from the other party, then there would definitely be benefits for his brothers.
"Fourth brother, you are too optimistic. If the other party only obtained an ancient Cave, I wouldn't be worried. But if they truly acquired an ancient inheritance, you should know what the outcome would be," Ao Yu said with a worried expression.
The emergence of every Ancient Heritage signifies the rise of a superpower, and each new power means a share of the limited resources available now. The resources in the Great Celestial Domain are becoming increasingly scarce; even the existing powers feel they are insufficient, let alone with another one appearing.
"Actually, big brother, you are overthinking it," Ao Zhou chuckled upon hearing his elder brother's concerns. "We don't need to worry about the Five Continents; we just focus on our Four Great Star Seas. We four brothers have worked hard for so long, yet how much of the Four Great Star Seas have we developed? Maybe one-fifth? Even with that one-fifth, we cannot digest it all. So what if more superpowers emerge?"
Ao Zhou's words were like a beacon in the dark sea, illuminating Ao Yu's troubled heart.
Indeed, with the treasure trove of the Star Sea at our disposal, what is there to worry about? Even if more superpowers arise, they must play by the rules of the game. The existing territories can no longer be divided. The Five Continents can no longer accommodate another superpower; under such circumstances, the other party would only have their sights set on the Four Seas. And those old monsters in the Five Continents would be more than happy for that to happen.
But would they really suffer losses? First, if this happens, the Five Continents would have to make some sort of statement; secondly, any territory carved out from the Four Star Sea would definitely not be within their current control. Furthermore, expanding into new territories would require costs on their part.
No matter how you look at it, this situation would not affect the status of the Four Star Sea. In fact, it is more likely that when that superpower attempts to expand into new areas, their Vitality would be severely depleted or even lead to their downfall. In that case, it would still be the Star Sea Dragon King who reaps the benefits.
"Hahaha! Fourth brother is indeed right; I was overthinking it," Ao Yu laughed heartily.
"It’s not that big brother was overthinking; it's just that you were initially misled by Dao Dan," Ao Zhou smiled slightly.
"I had previously thought that if this child wanted Chaos City, I could give it to him. Now it seems like a brilliant move!" Ao Yu recalled some words he had said before.
"Indeed."
"Absolutely a brilliant move."
"The ones who should be worried now are those old monsters from the Five Continents. By the way, brother, is there any chance those old monsters could find out about the Dao Dan?" Ao Zhou pointed out the crux of the matter once again.
"Don't worry, they can't possibly know. If they did, would they still be so quiet?"
At this moment, Ao Yu felt quite pleased. Although the Peak of the God of Combat held great secrets, it was not something they could touch right now. This time, the favor could serve two purposes. Even Cold Fan Mountain could guess Zuo Dao's intentions, let alone the Four Dragon Kings.
As the Four Dragon Kings made their decision, the three city lords in Chaos City found themselves in a dilemma.
A suggestion from Mu Beihan left everyone in silence. After all, they were merely pawns in someone else's game, and with their backs against the Star Sea, they had to consider many factors, primarily those related to the Star Sea.
In their eyes, Zuo Dao was absolutely unable to compete with the Four Great Star Seas. However, the other party held what they needed most. Breaking the King to Become the Emperor was a dream for countless people in the Great Celestial Domain! Now this opportunity was right before them.
It was clear that siding with Zuo Dao was undoubtedly the best choice. Yet, the Four Great Star Seas loomed over them like a mountain.
Where to go from here was truly difficult to decide. If the Dragon King came knocking later, Zuo Dao could definitely distance himself from it all because with those few types of pills in hand, the Dragon King would not dare to do anything to Zuo Dao. But for them, these so-called traitors, it was uncertain.
"Ice Block, why do you have this idea?" Cold Fan Mountain asked Mu Beihan casually after pondering for a long time without making a decision.
"Dao."
The emotionless voice echoed in Cold Fan Mountain's ears. He couldn't discern the other party's true thoughts, but he understood what was being expressed.
The Way.
Why do they cultivate? Isn't it to gain recognition from the Way? Isn't it to embark on the Great Dao?
For countless years, they strive for every moment. Isn't this the essence of a Cultivator?
Just as Zuo Dao envisioned, under such circumstances, no Cultivator could refuse. Cold Fan Mountain also understood that this could no longer be seen merely as an opportunity; it was a blessing from the Way. If one could not make the right choice, their future cultivation journey would be ruined.
Silence, silence, and more silence. Even the icy Mu Beihan was affected by this atmosphere.
The Cultivation Method of the Moon Palace of the Twelve Constellations allowed him to maintain a heart as clear as ice, but the trace of the Way within the elixir completely unlocked his heart.
After obtaining such an elixir, his heart ignited like a raging fire. If it weren't for the strength of his Cultivation Method, he might have fallen into madness.
Where to go from here? No one dared to speak lightly.
Among the Five Great Lords, Dongfang Qianliao remained the most composed. The moment he made his decision, he had no other thoughts. Zuo Dao had not treated him unfairly; a large number of Transforming Pills caused his Realm to rise continuously. The more this happened, the more he revered Zuo Dao.
He was a pragmatic person who wouldn't consider the consequences of this matter. The benefits were tangible; as long as he grew stronger, what were the Four Seas Dragon Kings? Moreover, some hints dropped by Zuo Dao further solidified his confidence.
In contrast to the other Four City Lords, Xi Yingnan found himself in a state of frustration. His relationship with the Five Great Lords was the worst. This had reached an extreme; within the other city lord's domains, Dark Children were being eliminated one by one.
He knew something must have happened, and that it was vaguely related to him, yet he couldn't guess what it was. What he didn't know was that not only had he been pushed out by the four city lords, but he had also been abandoned by the Star Sea Dragon King.
Even Zuo Dao hadn't anticipated that his plan would yield such abundant results. Of course, without a definitive conclusion to events, he could not foresee what would happen next.
The City Lord's mansion found itself in trouble, a sensation palpable to other Cultivators. However, they were now too preoccupied to pay attention to such matters.
After launching four Dao Pills, Zuo Dao quickly introduced several new elixirs tailored for the vast number of Cultivators in Chaos City, igniting a frenzy of cultivation throughout the city.
Which business was thriving the most in Chaos City? If you didn't visit Yan Wu Studio, you couldn't truly consider yourself a Cultivator in Chaos City.
Who had the greatest reputation in Chaos City today? It was undoubtedly Master Zuo from Yan Wu Studio.
If anyone was most adored by the Cultivators in Chaos City, it was certainly Master Zuo from Yan Wu Studio.
Yan Wu Studio broke the trend of exorbitant prices in Chaos City, selling all their elixirs at low prices. Even if you couldn't afford them with Celestial Stones, it was fine; you could trade items instead. Various herbs and ores were accepted.
Who was the busiest in Chaos City? It wasn't Zuo Dao or Yan Wu Studio, but rather those struggling Cultivators living at the bottom. They traveled between various regions of the star sea and Yan Wu Studio, exchanging their resources for the elixirs they needed.
This was an experience they had never enjoyed before. Before Zuo Dao arrived, these Cultivators would rather be patrons in the city than venture out to hunt for resources to obtain what they needed. The reason lay in the previous merchants being excessively greedy.
The current approach of Yan Wu Studio delighted them, but it also sparked discontent among other shops in Chaos City. However, Yan Wu Studio was riding high at the moment and was not something they could provoke; otherwise, they would be overwhelmed by a horde of frenzied Cultivators.
They were waiting, waiting for an opportunity to completely erase Yan Wu Studio from existence.
