Hearing Chen Qingyu's question:
Dongfang Jinglong glanced at him and explained:
"After we cross the barrier of the Dao Domain, the location we land in the Chuanming Dao Domain will certainly be the boundary of the entire Chuanming Dao Domain."
"This area, known as the Boundless Sea, is almost entirely devoid of human habitation, so naturally there are very few places to settle down."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu suddenly understood and asked again:
"Where exactly is Parasol Tree Island, which is occupied by the Dongfang Clan?"
Dongfang Jinglong pointed in a direction and solemnly said:
" Parasol Tree Island isn't too far from here, only about several hundred billion miles away."
"Millions of years ago, the place where our Dongfang Clan crossed over from another realm and first arrived was also in the Boundless Sea."
"The entire Chuanming Dao Domain consists of two super-massive main continents, one in the south and one in the north, in addition to numerous archipelagos and scattered islands in all directions."
"And the Boundless Sea is located in the southwest of the entire Dao Domain, close to the Southern Continent."
She paused at this point, a hint of sadness appearing on her face:
" Parasol Tree Island is the largest and main island in a series of islands in the Boundless Sea."
"Millions of years ago, after our Dongfang Clan first Chuanming Dao Domain, we quickly occupied Parasol Tree Island and the entire ' Crane Cry Archipelago ' as our first foothold."
"At our peak, we ruled the entire Boundless Sea and even a large part of the Southern Continent, enjoying immense prosperity..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
"I see."
"Your Dongfang Clan has declined, its foundation has been continuously lost, and all that's left is Parasol Tree Island?"
The Dongfang Clan, once the royal family of the Divine Dynasty, boasted over a hundred Emperor Venerable, including many Peak Emperor Venerable- level powerhouses. The clan also possessed a secret treasure left behind by Great Emperor Kunyu, making them incredibly powerful.
Such a powerful force crossing the river should be one of the top forces even in the Chuanming Dao Domain.
Unfortunately, all the past glories have been swept away by the winds and rains. With the current strength of the Dongfang Clan, they certainly cannot keep such a large territory.
"Right."
Dongfang Jinglong looked dejected, her voice tinged with melancholy:
" The Dongfang Clan now only occupies Parasol Tree Island, and even this sole foothold is on the verge of collapse."
"Several hundred years ago, we ruled the entire Crane Cry Archipelago and could be considered a local tyrant."
"However, in recent years, some small Lineage and sects within the archipelago, with the support of external forces, have been constantly seeking independence and opposing our Dongfang Clan..."
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu waved his hand and said:
"I have absolutely no interest in the grudges and entanglements between your Dongfang Clan and external forces."
He glanced at Dongfang Jinglong and said slowly:
"You're telling me all this just to use me to resolve the Dongfang Clan's crisis, aren't you?"
"Right."
Dongfang Jinglong said frankly:
"You are the personal disciple of the Supreme Star Venerable, a renowned figure throughout the Three Thousand Dao Domains."
"You don't need to do anything. Just make a trip to Parasol Tree Island and show your face, and I guarantee that no one will dare to provoke the Dongfang Clan without cause again."
"This is just a small favor for you, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu snorted:
"You've got a good plan."
"Fine, I was going to Parasol Tree Island anyway, so it's just something I did on the way."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and the Space Collapse and twisted, revealing a dark and deep void.
"Let's go, you give us directions!"
Boundless Sea, Crane Cry Archipelago.
The Crane Cry Archipelago consist of hundreds of islands of varying sizes, resembling scattered pearls.
Among the many islands, Parasol Tree Island, which is close to the Southern Continent, is the largest, occupying a quarter of the entire archipelago and spanning hundreds of billions of miles.
At this moment, on Parasol Tree Island:
"Ancestor!"
Outside a magnificent, jade-white palace, a middle-aged man stood bowing, his face grim, and said:
"That old bastard from the Zhou Clan Sanhe Island, along with those minor Lineage and sects, have come to demand an explanation again!"
"The excuses they use are the same old ones: they're always accusing us of being unreasonable and domineering, and of nitpicking over trivial matters..."
The middle-aged man grew increasingly angry as he spoke.
"Ancestor! In my opinion, you shouldn't have kept giving in to them, making them forget their place!"
"Just give the order, and I'll mobilize my men immediately to teach them a lesson..."
"Alright!"
Within the jade-white palace, a weary sigh from a woman could be heard:
"At this crucial moment, don't cause me any more trouble."
"All we can do now is wait... wait for Jinglong to return successfully."
The voice paused slightly before continuing:
"As long as she can retrieve the King of Creation, the Heart of Myriad Realms, and the other supreme treasures from the Ancestor's Divine Throne, this minor crisis will be resolved immediately."
"By then, Dongfang Clan I wouldn't say we'll restore the glory of ancient times, ruling the Boundless Sea again won't be difficult."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man paused for a moment before whispering:
"But Ancestor... Jinglong has been gone for over ten years, and there has been no news of her since."
"Based on the timeline, the Divine Throne has been open for several years now. If everything had gone smoothly for her, she should have returned long ago..."
Hearing his words:
Inside the jade-white palace, after a long silence, a heavy sigh finally broke the silence, "Meow Meow said..."
"Now that things have come to this, what other choice do we have but to believe her?"
"You can go now and get rid of those people first."
"... yes."
The middle-aged man bowed and withdrew from the courtyard where the jade-white palace was located.
A moment later:
In the main hall of the Dongfang Clan's residence in the center of Parasol Tree Island.
"... No matter what, the Dongfang Clan must give us an explanation today!"
An old man wearing a Five Sacred Mountains crown and a wide-sleeved black robe roared:
" Dongfang Lie! If you can't make the decision, then let the Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable come out!"
"Good!"
The Quasi-Emperor standing nearby all chimed in:
"This time, the Dongfang Clan has gone too far; we can no longer tolerate it!"
"Let the Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable speak!"
"Yes, all you do is wrangle and shirk responsibility, but you don't do anything practical. It's absurd! Quickly bring out the person in charge of the Dongfang Clan!"
Inside the main hall:
Many of the Quasi-Emperor elders of the Dongfang Clan had grim expressions and were burning with anger as they stared at the black-robed elder and the group of Quasi-Emperor he led.
once Upon a time--
The Quasi-Emperor ancestors of these small Lineage and sects native to the Crane Cry Archipelago still treated them with utmost respect and offered them tributes every year.
If they didn't have powerful backing, how dare these scoundrels go to Parasol Tree Island to force the emperor's hand?
"Chieftain..."
Many elders of the Dongfang Clan turned their attention to Dongfang Lie Dongfang Clan leader.
"..."
Dongfang Lie remained silent, clenching his teeth, and uttered not a word.
If he wanted, he could wipe out all these Quasi-Emperor native to the Crane Cry Archipelago in an instant!
However, the reason these people are so audacious is entirely due to their reliance on their master's power!
You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog!
Unfortunately, the powerful forces behind these Quasi-Emperor are ones that the Dongfang Clan cannot afford to offend at the moment. They can only swallow their anger and let these clowns cause trouble here!
