"The Nine Sons of the Endless Sea are powerful factions, each occupying one of the nine Dao Fusion Lands within the Endless Sea."
"Protected by nine Tribulation-Crossing Pseudo-Immortals who have achieved Dao Fusion, the Nine Sons have passed down their legacies from generation to generation. Apart from Tianyan Sect, their lineages have almost never been broken. Their standing is beyond the mortal world."
Gao Tongwei was a Heavenly Star Sect Steward.
Naturally, she described the Nine Sons as exalted powers, each ruling a continent.
Luo Yi stood quietly and listened, occasionally frowning in brief thought.
None of them were naive youngsters fresh out of the gate.
It was easy to hear what did not add up in Steward Gao's account.
No matter how extravagantly she sang their praises, it could not change the fact that the Dragon Clan ruled these waters.
After all, once Luo Yi had advanced to the Combining Dao Realm, the Tiannan Continent, which had once seemed boundless in his memory, had acquired clear borders.
If the borders of Tiannan Continent, occupied by Tianyan Sect, could be seen clearly, then so could those of Bright Moon Continent, occupied by the Heavenly Star Sect, and the continent occupied by the Sunshine Sect...
They were all among the Nine Sons of the Endless Sea. Their strengths might differ, but not by too much overall.
Compared with the boundless Endless Sea, a continent whose borders he could clearly sense was stronger or weaker? The answer was plain.

They had strength enough to defend themselves, but not enough to expand.
Even so, Luo Yi did not look down on them
