Lei Jiaxin had consumed a spiritual item that caused her to shed her tail, making her no longer significantly different from a human girl.

She was also proud of her perfect figure, and at night, she enjoyed swimming to the surface to sing.

After attracting passing ships, if she encountered men with malicious intent, she would drag them into the water and kill them.

Zhou Er knew about Lei Jiaxin's quirk and quickly adjusted his position, saying:

"Big Sister, I didn't mean to."

However, the space inside the ancient giant clam was limited, and the more Zhou Er tried to adjust, the more his hand ended up in an inappropriate position.

"Mmm~"

Feeling the touch of Zhou Er's hand, Lei Jiaxin couldn't help but moan.

"Don't move around."

Lei Jiaxin said, panting.

Finally, Lei Jiaxin probed downward with her hand and fumbled for a long time before finally finding the ancient giant clam's weakness and opening it.

After emerging from the seashell, Lei Jiaxin tidied up her messy clothes that Zhou Er had disturbed.

"Big Sister, I didn't mean to. Please don't mention this to Jiani later."

Zhou Er said quickly.

Lei Jiaxin glared scoldingly at Zhou Er and said:

"I know."

She now knew that Zhou Er was a gentleman.

Afterward, the two returned to their normal state, no longer mentioning what had happened inside the ancient giant clam, and continued to explore the secret realm.

After the incident with the Shark Race, both of them were extra cautious.

Especially Zhou Er, before exploring an unknown area, he would carefully probe it with his spiritual sense.

After years of cultivation, his spiritual sense had long since expanded to a range of five to six li, which was almost sufficient to explore most areas.

To Zhou Er's great surprise, within the secret realm, his spiritual sense was greatly limited. After extending only a few dozen meters, it was blocked by various obstacles.

However, this range of a few dozen meters was almost sufficient.

Feeling their way through the Tianyi Secret Realm, the two arrived at a flesh chamber.

Lei Jiaxin was a bit dejected. Apart from this ordinary flesh, they had no other harvest.

Of course, by the time the secret realm closes, if there are no more gains, she can only take away some flesh and blood.

It's just that this flesh and blood is not easy to chew, and it requires some effort.

Zhou Er probed inch by inch with his spiritual sense, and suddenly noticed a crevice within the flesh and blood.

He stepped forward and squeezed, realizing that he could enter here, and said:

"Big Sister, we can go in here."

Lei Jiaxin saw this and followed.

The two squeezed through this crevice and entered a dark and sunless passage. Walking up the passage, they saw an empty chamber.

In the chamber, two giant spheres were separated on both sides. Upon closer inspection, they were two huge eyeballs.

Before the two could act, these eyeballs suddenly shook and turned into two beams of light that rushed towards them.

The light disappeared, and Zhou Er found that another eyeball had grown on his head.

And this eyeball was completely unrelated to his other two eyes. The eyeball came with a pupil technique that could freeze others.

Lei Jiaxin's forehead also grew such an eyeball.

"These are the Tianyi Water God's eyeballs, we have obtained the Tianyi Water God's eyes."

Lei Jiaxin was overjoyed.

Only by obtaining the Tianyi Water God's Approval could one obtain these important organs that carried the Tianyi Water God's Divine Ability.

Now, obtaining the Tianyi Water God's eyes represented their Tianyi Water God's Remnant Soul's Approval.

Of course, this was not the most valuable thing.

The most valuable was the Tianyi Water God's Demon Core.

Of course, the eyes were already quite good.

With this, at least they wouldn't have to worry about forming a Golden Core, and they had also gained a Divine Ability carried in the eyes.

The Demon Race does not use Magic Treasures; their Innate Divine Abilities are their most reliant Magic Treasures.

And it is very difficult for them to improve themselves.

Now, the two of them had indeed gained a fortune.

Afterward, Zhou Er and Lei Jiaxin sat cross-legged to refine the third eye they had just obtained.

In reality, there was nothing for them to refine. This eye had already merged with them, as if it were an innate organ.

It was also very simple to close, requiring only a thought to shut the eyeball.

Having gotten used to their new eyes, the two felt their trip was complete, with no need to go out and compete with others.

They would just wait for the secret realm to end and leave.

"Brother-in-law, we'll rest here now and leave when the time is up," Lei Jiaxin said.

Zhou Er nodded. They had already gained their harvest and there was no need to stir up more trouble.

After some time passed peacefully, Lei Jiaxin suddenly came up to Zhou Er and whispered in his ear, "Brother-in-law, you seemed quite interested in my body earlier, inside the seashell."

As she spoke, Lei Jiaxin leaned against Zhou Er and drew circles on his chest muscles with her finger, her seductive intent obvious.

"Big Sister, what happened earlier was an accident. You don't need to test me anymore." Zhou Er sat up straight, showing no reaction.

Lei Jiaxin tried to tempt Zhou Er a few more times. Seeing that Zhou Er truly had no reaction, she gave up with a sigh.

The secret realm ended, and the group emerged one after another.

Some returned, while others did not.

There was joy for some and sorrow for others.

Lei Ze stepped forward to ask about their harvest. Lei Jiaxin whispered something in Lei Ze's ear.

Lei Ze immediately understood that their trip had been very fruitful.

However, the most precious item in the Tianyi Secret Realm had not been found. This secret realm would have another chance to open next time.

Because their harvest was so abundant, Lei Ze quickly took the two back to Thunder Dragon City to avoid any trouble.

Upon returning to Thunder Dragon City, Zhou Er spent a few intimate days with Lei Jiani before beginning his preparations for seclusion.

Six months later, with the help of the Third Eye, Zhou Er successfully broke through to the Golden Core realm. His True Essence condensed into a True Core, and his entire mana underwent a fundamental change.

Lei Jiaxin, however, could not. Although she had also obtained an eyeball, she still needed more time for cultivation and accumulation.

Now that Zhou Er had reached the Golden Core realm, he was considered a Demon King in the vast East Sea.

However, with territories already mostly divided, it would be very difficult for Zhou Er to truly claim a sea domain.

Of course, opportunities were not entirely absent.

When other Demon Kings died, seizing territory based on strength, or exploring the deep sea to open up new territories, were all optional plans.

The danger of going to the deep sea was too great, and Lei Jiani definitely wouldn't allow her to do that. She was only told to cultivate here first and act later when there was an opportunity.

Zhou Er also leaned towards acting steadily. Anyway, he had now reached the Golden Core stage, his lifespan was long, and he wasn't in a hurry, so there was no need to take risks. His parents-in-law also didn't intend to rush him.

After cultivating in the sea for ten years, Zhou Er's understanding of the Water Race became increasingly profound, and he also integrated into the Water Race.

It was said that all ancestors of the Water Race were originally Demon Race from the land.

But they were defeated in the conflicts among the Demon Race, and they could only seek a way to survive in the water.

Thus, they slowly and steadily developed in the sea.

Nowadays, although the Water Race had not made any progress in the development of Magic Treasures, Talismans, and Formations, their individual strength almost far surpassed that of the Demon Race and Human Race on land.

Of course, this was under the premise that the Demon Race and Human Race fought in the water.

As the Water Race became increasingly prosperous, many of them wanted to counterattack the land and reclaim their ancestral land.

Many members of the Water Race had even carried out actions, but the results were not very ideal.

Even so, every year the leaders of the Water Race would still organize some people to attack the Small Islands on the Water Surface.

If they could take down the islands by the sea first, they could then slowly plot to counterattack the land.

Zhou Er was now equivalent to a Demon King, considered a subordinate of the Eight-Armed Heavenly King.

If there were any major movements within the Water Race, the Eight-Armed Heavenly King would gather these Demon Kings together, like holding a meeting to discuss.

In ten years, Zhou Er had participated in one such discussion.

The discussion at that time was about attacking a Large Island on land.

Of course, everyone present were seniors, so he didn't speak much.

He also did not participate in the final action, only knowing that the Large Island was eventually taken down and became the territory of an Old Turtle.

Although some manpower was lost, the overall Harvest was quite substantial.

He didn't know what had happened now that called them over.

Zhou Er went to Eight-Armed Heavenly King City with his father-in-law to participate in the discussion.

When they arrived at Heavenly King City, Zhou Er understood what had happened.

"Cang Old Brother, the Human Race on land is now in chaos. We have decided to reunite with the Demon Race on land and retake the land together."

The Eight-Armed Heavenly King said to Zhou Er:

"You are originally from the Land Demon Race, so sending you to discuss this matter is the most suitable."

"Lord You! My son-in-law fled from land to sea, isn't this inappropriate!"

Lei Ze spoke up at this moment.

Going to land was an extremely dangerous matter, especially contacting the Land Demon Race, which was even more perilous.

The Land Demon Race was in chaos among themselves, let alone cooperating with their Water Race?

Moreover, they would need to cross mortal kingdoms to find the gathering places of the demons.

"Do you remember the teleportation array set up by the previous East Sea Dragon God? That teleportation array is located in a hidden valley and was saved for this moment. Cang Old Brother, you will go and gather intelligence this time. If it doesn't work out, you can just retreat."

The Eight-Armed Heavenly King continued.

"That teleportation array is thousands of years old. Who knows what the situation is on the other side."

Lei Ze argued vehemently, naturally speaking up for his son-in-law.

"That's why we need someone to test it. We are all thoroughly Water Race. Once we go ashore, our strength will be reduced by at least one realm. Cang Old Brother is different. Cang Old Brother was originally from the Land Demon Race. Whether it's negotiating with the Land Demon Race or adapting, we cannot compare."

At this moment, someone said.

"You say it nicely, but aren't you just trying to send my son-in-law to his death!"

Lei Ze was unhappy regardless.

"Lei Ze, you've gone too far. How is it sending him to his death?"

Another Demon King retorted.

Arguing and bickering, there was no conclusion for a while.

Just then, the Eight-Armed Heavenly King looked at Zhou Er and said:

"Cang Old Brother, this is the Dragon God's idea. If you are willing to take this risk, when you return, I can give you a sea domain of ten thousand miles as your base. Also, if you don't want to participate in the subsequent great battle, I won't force you. How about it?"

A sea domain of ten thousand miles, this base area was almost half of the Eight-Armed Heavenly King's own territory.

"Lord You, I need to consider it."

Zhou Er looked at his father-in-law and said.

"No rush. Thousands of years have passed, no need to rush these few days."

The Eight-Armed Heavenly King smiled and said.

After leaving the Eight-Armed Heavenly King's cave mansion, Zhou Er and Lei Ze discussed it privately.

"Xiao Cang, why must you take this risk? You still have Jiani and Xiao Haohao."

Lei Ze advised.

"Xiao Haohao is already twelve years old, I don't need to worry about him as much anymore. Besides, I want to secure a family business for him."

Zhou Er said grandly.

In reality, he was also a bit annoyed with life underwater.

There were no magic treasures or talismans in the sea, and besides fish and jewelry, there were no other special resources.

Currently, cultivating in the sea was indeed a waste of his time.

He had already reached the Golden Core stage and wanted to return to the Land to obtain a magic treasure to increase his combat power.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to find a spiritual land on the Land to cultivate.

Of course, he also wanted to see what the Land was like now.

Lei Ze tried to persuade him a few times, but finding that he couldn't convince him, he simply stopped.

Since Zhou Er was willing to take a gamble, he might as well let him go.

Zhou Er had agreed to the Eight-Armed Heavenly King's request to check the situation on the other side of the Teleportation Array, and the Eight-Armed Heavenly King was naturally very pleased.

Fearing that Lei Jiani would stop him from going out after he returned, Zhou Er did not go back to say goodbye. He only asked Lei Ze to help inform others that he was going to venture out through the Ancient Teleportation Array.

Lei Ze could only do so, returning to Thunder Dragon City alone.

The Eight-Armed Heavenly King brought Zhou Er to the location of the Teleportation Array and asked, "Cang Old Brother, are you ready? If you are ready, we will begin the ritual to activate the Teleportation Array."

"I am ready, Lord You. Just activate the Teleportation Array!"

Zhou Er nodded and sat cross-legged within the massive Teleportation Array.

This Teleportation Array was of a large scale, clearly not meant for transporting just one person.

However, the situation on the Land was unclear, and negotiations with the Land Demon Race had not been finalized. They could only send Zhou Er over first to probe the current situation on the other side of the Teleportation Array.

As the Teleportation Array activated, Zhou Er felt a dizzying sensation. Soon, he appeared in another world.

The surrounding water pressure instantly disappeared, giving Zhou Er a sense of relief.

He opened his eyes and found himself in a cave. Although there was water around, it was only a thin layer.

After leaping out of the water, Zhou Er examined his surroundings, found a light source, and followed it out of the cave.

Then, following the water, he saw a village.

Hiding some of his demonic features, Zhou Er disguised himself as an ordinary person and entered the village.

Zhou Er had already reached the Golden Core stage. After just a few days of interaction, he understood the dialect of the villagers here.

He also knew that this was the Yan Kingdom.

Nearby was a part of the Sunset Mountain Range.

Mentioning the Sunset Mountain Range, Zhou Er thought of the Xiayun Sect.

He thought of the Old Acquaintance from the Xiayun Sect.

In the past, he had fled the Xiayun Sect to avoid Master Jide. Looking back now, it might not have been a wise move.

Besides Master Jide, Zhou Er thought of Lin Shiyu.

When he left, Lin Shiyu was still a maiden.

Now, forty to fifty years had passed. He wondered how Lin Shiyu was doing now.
