The Sea Abyss Sect's Cunning Scheme

A magnificent pavilion in the central area of Sea Source City, hundreds of feet high, stands like a mountain. It is made of a special deep blue crystal, with a faint spiritual light shimmering, making the building shine even under the night sky.

Sea Abyss Pavilion is the most important core shop of the Sea Abyss Sect. It contains various Spirit Items and Cultivation Resources that are special to the Sea Abyss Sect, as well as resources from all over the Lu Wu Realm.

Exquisite artifacts from the Blood Race of the Savage Wilderness Great Domain, Body Tempering Liquid from the Barbarian Tribe, special gems and various Spirit Liquids from the Spirit Tribe, bloodline essences from the Three Great Demon Kingdoms, divination tortoise shells from the Witch Tribe, prayer beads and Bodhi Leaves from the Buddhist Sect, and more can all be purchased here.

Yang Tianyou stepped into the Sea Abyss Pavilion from the outside. The noisy discussions reached his ears. All kinds of Cultivators, and even Foreign Races, moved around in the exceptionally spacious hall, getting along well with each other. It has to be said that the Chaotic Sea is, to some extent, the most inclusive area in the Lu Wu Realm.

As he walked, Yang Tianyou guessed that the Sea Abyss Pavilion must have used the Sumeru Mustard Seed Formation, as the height of the first floor alone was a hundred feet.

It should be noted that the Sea Abyss Pavilion has more than a dozen floors, and the height of each floor is roughly the same from the outside.

Looking around, Yang Tianyou walked towards the stairs.

According to intelligence, the first floor of the Sea Abyss Pavilion is the commodity trading hall, while the fifth floor is the department specifically in charge of Island leasing.

Without any obstruction, there were few restrictions on the Sea Abyss Pavilion, except for the top floor which was off-limits.

Upon arriving at the fifth floor, one is greeted by an elegantly decorated corridor adorned with numerous underwater pearls on both sides, flanked by exquisitely crafted and grand Portal.

These Portals are divided into three levels.

Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul.

These represent three different levels of Islands.

Yang Tianyou naturally chose to rent Tier 2 Island, and went straight to the Foundation Establishment area, entering one of the Portals.

As far as the eye can see, the pale blue smoke is ethereal and soft in texture. Unlike normal smoke which is granular, it is more like a beautiful ribbon. With a gentle sniff, a watery fragrance enters the lungs, and the spirit seems to become calmer.

"Fellow Daoist Friends, are you interested in leasing the Island?" A young man dressed in the robes of inner disciple the Sea Abyss Sect asked with a smile in his eyes, looking at the distinguished young man before him. His attitude was neither overly enthusiastic nor arrogant, but just right, neither humble nor servile.

This is just a glimpse into the whole picture. If even one disciple possesses such qualities, one can only imagine how many elite talents the entire Sea Abyss Pavilion has.

"I'd like to rent a Second-Tier Middle-Grade Island, preferably near Sea Abyss Island. There shouldn't be any powerful forces within a 100,000-mile radius. Do you have any recommendations, Daoist Friends?" Yang Tianyou asked with a smile as he sat in his chair.

"Daoist Friends's request isn't high, but Islands like these are extremely sought after, and right now, there are no vacancies." The Sea Abyss Sect disciple thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou frowned and asked, "How many Tier 2 Islands under Sea Abyss Island are left? I wonder if we could obtain a sea chart to examine them?"

"Of course!" The young man smiled faintly, and with a flick of his sleeve, a colorful nautical chart flew out from his Storage Ring.

The nautical chart stood upright in the air, then unfolded, revealing a dense Islands, numbering seven or eight hundred, all of which were Tier 2 or higher Islands. First-Tier Islands were too small to be drawn on nautical charts.

Among these, Sea Abyss Island is located in the eastern part of this archipelago. The surrounding Islands vary in size, but most of them are owned by certain groups.

Most of the unclaimed Islands are too high-level and unsuitable for the Yang Household's current situation. The Islands that are suitable for the Yang Household are too far from Sea Abyss Island and are easily targeted by those with ill intentions.

Sea Abyss Island is indeed very safe, but the other Islands under the Sea Abyss Sect's control are not necessarily as safe.

After the Sea Abyss Sect leases out these Islands, it will send inspectors to patrol them year-round.

However, with such a vast sea area and seven or eight hundred Islands, how could the inspector possibly take care of everything?

Generally speaking, these inspectors prioritize Islands closer to Sea Abyss Island, while those further away are only inspected occasionally, and their attitude is rather perfunctory.

As a result, news of small Islands being captured comes every now and then.

These incidents were mostly perpetrated by Evil Cultivator.

Unlike Devil Cultivators, they cultivate Immortal Dao Cultivation Method and are not subject to Heaven-Patrolling Treasure Mirror.

Seeing Yang Tianyou frown, the young Daoist Friends of the Sea Abyss Sect smiled and offered a suggestion, "If you intend to establish Lineage on Island, I think it would be better to first occupy a First-Tier Island that is relatively close to Sea Abyss Island."

"At worst, we can just spend Spirit Stones to upgrade the Islands. Right now, half of the seven or eight hundred Islands under our Sea Abyss Island that are at least Tier 2 2 were actually upgraded from tiny Islands bit by bit. Besides, Islands that we upgraded ourselves are much easier to use, aren't they?"

Hearing his words, Yang Tianyou seemed somewhat tempted, but inwardly he scoffed.

The Sea Abyss Sect has certainly made a clever plan.

The leased Islands ultimately belong to the Sea Abyss Sect.

Even if it costs a lot to upgrade the Island, it's still spending their own Spirit Stones to do things for the Sea Abyss Sect.

When their power is wiped out or moved elsewhere, the Island that they worked so hard to upgrade will be left to the Sea Abyss Sect for nothing.

Using this method, the Sea Abyss Sect has easily acquired a large number of high-level Islands over the past thousands of years, not only without paying Spirit Stones, but also receiving a large sum of rent.

What they need to ensure is simply basic stability in the nearby waters.

Thinking of this, Yang Tianyou couldn't help but sigh, "Only with strength can one Cultivation Resources."

As long as one is powerful enough, like the Sea Abyss Sect, they can live comfortably by collecting "protection fees" and easily support tens of thousands of disciples.

An hour later, Yang Tianyou emerged from the Sea Abyss Pavilion, his expression calm.

In the end, he did not rent the miniature Island. Upgrading the Spirit Veins himself was too uneconomical. At least until the Lineage had a firm foothold in the Chaotic Sea, it would be better to rent a ready-made Tier 2 Island first.

"Should we lease out the Outer Periphery Islands...? But that would make them too vulnerable to attack."

"I'm alright now, but once the Four Symbols Nine Trials are over, I'll have to leave the Chaotic Sea. With Xuan Ye only at the Foundation Establishment, he could easily encounter danger..."

After pondering for a while, Yang Tianyou shook his head, deciding to wait and see if things would turn around.

Should I disguise myself as Evil Cultivator and destroy a Tier 2 Island in the Inner Periphery region?

The thought involuntarily surfaced in my mind, but it was quickly extinguished by the sudden flash of the blade.

Yang Tianyou didn't consider himself a kind person, but he wouldn't kill an entire family without a grudge or a conflict of interest.

He is the pillar of the Yang Household and a role model for future generations. If he continues to act indiscriminately and only for personal gain, the younger Lineage will follow suit, and before long, the Lineage will have made a lot of enemies. Moreover, he will corrupt the Lineage's atmosphere and be detrimental to its long-term development.

"Alright, let's take it slow, we can't be too impatient!"
