Opening Sea Emperor Land

"Elder Feng."

Upon seeing the old man, Hai Potian immediately bowed.

"Mm. This girl is that person's daughter, isn't she?"

Looking at Ye Xinran standing in the very center, Hai Chengfeng subtly probed her.

One look was enough to make his heart leap.

Even an old fellow like him, who had lived for over ten thousand years and seen countless geniuses, could not help being stunned by Ye Xinran's talent.

"Bone age: twelve. King Profound Realm!"

Hai Chengfeng marveled inwardly.

"Yes."

Hearing Hai Chengfeng's question, Hai Potian replied.

"Call the people who were arranged to come over."

"Yes."

After saying that, Hai Potian sent out a voice transmission.

Soon, five young people entered through the entrance to the forbidden grounds.

Four men and one woman.

The one at the front was a blue-haired youth.

The blue-haired youth radiated arrogance and appeared to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

The other four were slightly older, but none had reached twenty.

As the five approached, Ye Xinran, Jin Xiaoya, and the others sized them up.

"The blue-haired one should have the highest talent, but he's only at the Half-Step Heavenly Spirit Realm."

Ye Xinran muttered softly.

However, Jin Xiaoya still heard her.

What do you mean, only Half-Step Heavenly Spirit Realm? Reaching the Half-Step Heavenly Spirit Realm at that age is already incredible, alright?

Soon, the five arrived before Hai Potian.

"Father, Elder Feng."

The blue-haired youth bowed.

The four behind him bowed as well.

From the moment he entered until now, the blue-haired youth had only glanced at Ye Xinran's group once when he first came in.

The other four, however, observed them a few more times.

Yet it was all for nothing, because they could not see through a single one of them.

Naturally, they attributed it to Ye Xinran's group possessing treasures that concealed their cultivation.

"Aotian, once you enter Sea Emperor Land, you must not provoke conflict with these people. Understand?"

Seeing the blue-haired youth's arrogant expression, Hai Potian did not forget to remind him.

At those words, the blue-haired youth frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled.

He then looked at Ye Xinran and the others once more.

He merely gave them a glance before withdrawing his gaze and nodding.

Seeing Hai Aotian act this way, Hai Potian shook his head helplessly.

"They are far stronger than you imagine."

After saying that, Hai Potian spoke no further.

However, those words did pique Hai Aotian's interest.

"Stronger?"

Hai Aotian repeated inwardly, a cold smile curling across his lips.

Ye Xinran, Jin Xiaoya, and the others happened to see it.

But none of them said anything.

Entering Sea Emperor Land was the priority right now.

"Begin."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hai Chengfeng spoke.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and the Dragon Statue behind him began to shine.

"Miss, it's up to you now."

After doing all that, Hai Chengfeng looked at Ye Xinran and said.

"Me?"

Ye Xinran was bewildered.

"That's right. Just come over to the Dragon Statue."

Hai Chengfeng nodded.

Hearing this, Ye Xinran did not think twice before walking toward the Dragon-shaped Statue.

As she drew closer, Hai Chengfeng and Hai Potian stared fixedly at her, their hearts somewhat tense.

Although Ye Chang'an had said she could open it, the two of them still found it hard to believe.

Just as they were growing nervous, Ye Xinran arrived beneath the Dragon-shaped Statue.

A rumble sounded from within the statue, and the glow around it grew even brighter.

Immediately afterward, a gateway appeared before Ye Xinran.

Seeing this, the taut strings in Hai Chengfeng and Hai Potian's hearts finally loosened.

"It really can be opened."

Not only were the two of them astonished, even Hai Aotian and Li Wuxun found it unbelievable.

"It really can be opened!"

Seeing the gateway appear, Li Wuxun was shocked, but even more delighted.

Hai Aotian, meanwhile, looked at Ye Xinran with disbelief.

How is this possible... How did she open it? Talent? Perhaps I can do it too.

"Alright, hurry inside."

Seeing the gateway appear, Hai Potian said excitedly.

At those words, Ye Xinran immediately stepped inside, while the others followed one after another.

Sea Emperor Land.

After entering this place, Ye Xinran discovered that she was alone.

"Did we get separated?"

Ye Xinran understood. The first stage was a separate trial for each person.

"I wonder what the trial will be."

Just then, Ye Xinran suddenly sensed fluctuations of spiritual power.

Looking ahead—

A vast swarm of transparent blue sea beasts charged toward her at high speed.

"A fight? This level isn't nearly enough."

Sensing that this group of Demonic Beasts were all at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Ye Xinran felt rather bored.

She formed a sword with her fingers and slashed out.

Dozens of Demonic Beasts were instantly killed in a single strike.

But it was not over yet.

After the Demonic Beasts were slain, they transformed into specks of blue light that gathered together and surged into Ye Xinran's body.

"Hm? These light specks can increase cultivation? Not bad, though Heavenly Spirit Realm Demonic Beasts are of little use to me."

Sensing a slight increase in her cultivation, Ye Xinran was somewhat surprised.

But due to the gap in their realms, these light specks were negligible to her.

Just as Ye Xinran was growing bored, another huge swarm of transparent blue Demonic Beasts charged at her.

This time, they were still at the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

However, most of them were three or four minor realms stronger than the previous batch.

Before, they had been at the first through third levels.

Now, they were at the fourth through sixth levels.

Seeing the Demonic Beasts attack, Ye Xinran still killed them all with a single sword strike.

The next batch came hot on their heels.

Heavenly Spirit Realm, seventh through ninth levels.

They were still killed with one sword strike.

"Is that all? Can't you send something stronger?"

Seeing that only weak Demonic Beasts kept coming, Ye Xinran grew even more bored.

Moreover, killing these Demonic Beasts barely increased her cultivation.

But evidently, no matter what she said, the trial would not pay her any heed.

The next batch was merely at the first through third levels of the Spiritual Power Realm.

Elsewhere.

Jin Xiaoya could not kill them as effortlessly as Ye Xinran, but dealing with them was still more than manageable for her.

At this moment, she was fighting a large swarm of Demonic Beasts at the fourth through sixth levels of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

As someone at the ninth level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, she could not instantly kill them all, but it was difficult for these Demonic Beasts to even get close to her.

Since her realm was also within the Heavenly Spirit Realm, after killing the Demonic Beasts and absorbing the light specks, Jin Xiaoya could clearly feel her cultivation rising.

"I'm about to break through to the Spiritual Power Realm!"

She was naturally very excited about this.

Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao were in much the same situation.

However, because Xuanyuan Hao had reached the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm before them, he broke through after killing the second batch of Demonic Beasts.

He reached the Spiritual Power Realm.

"Even though I've reached the Spiritual Power Realm, I'm still far behind Ye Xinran..."

Advancing to the Spiritual Power Realm did not bring him much joy.

There was nothing to be done about it. Who told him to compare himself to Ye Xinran?

Aside from Hai Aotian, the Sea Clan group were all at the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Thus, they could still handle these Demonic Beasts.

Only Hai Aotian was at the Half-Step Heavenly Spirit Realm.

The Demonic Beasts he faced were naturally below the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

After slaughtering a large swarm of Nascent Core Realm Demonic Beasts, Hai Aotian wore a cold, arrogant expression.

He seemingly did not regard these Demonic Beasts as worthy of notice.
