He disclosed that the ocean’s spirit veins lay within the domain of the nearly million-year-old Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, leaving the representatives too frightened to covet them.

• Representatives protested when they learned spirit veins were located in the Far North and the Star Dou Great Forest, but Zhang Qingxuan said the veins were not reserved for humans and told them to fight for what they could take.
