"Everything this young friend said is true!"
The sound startled everyone, and they all looked toward the source of the sound with strange expressions.
Everyone, including Yang Zhen, felt a strange sensation.
No one could have imagined that the voice of a person, or a creature, could convey such an ancient aura, as if it came from a distant past, giving one a sense of Elder Gu and timelessness.
As Yang Zhen's gaze fell, the Sea Dragon Clan members parted to make way for an elderly Sea Dragon Clan member, who was as thin as a rake and had a hunched back, and walked out leaning on a cane made of the leg bone of an unknown animal.
After the old man approached Yang Zhen, he placed one hand on his heart and performed a strange Sea Dragon Clan Yang Zhen before turning to the Elder Gu being and saying, "Human strongmen, our race has no intention of being enemies with humans. Whether it was ten thousand years ago or now, it was always humans who were greedy first, coveting our clan's treasures and slaughtering our people. If it weren't for this young friend, none of you who came here today would be leaving this place!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the short, hunched old man from the Sea Dragon Clan.
The Elder Gu Sea Dragon Clan, seemingly somewhat doubtful. He snorted and slammed his cane down, causing a hum to resound from the ground. A terrifying wave of energy surged towards the human crowd, exploding with a deafening boom. Wan Tianchen screamed in agony as several wounds burst open on his body, blood gushing out. A golden, spoon-shaped object flew from his robes and landed in the Sea Dragon Clan man's hand.
What?
Everyone stared at Wan Tianchen, who was kneeling on the ground, with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.
Clearly, the item on Wan Tianchen's body was not his, but rather a clan treasure of the Sea Dragon Clan.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "I remember now! Wan Tianchen from Flower Mountain Blessed Land was the first person to reach Emperor Island. He killed many people from the Beast Taming Sect of the Great Jiang Kingdom in mid-air, stole a Heavenly Dragon Beast, and was the first to rush onto Emperor Island."
Upon hearing this, the gazes of the crowd toward Flower Mountain Blessed Land immediately turned somewhat hostile.
It turns out that the Sea Dragon Clan attacked humans without saying a word simply to search for their clan treasure, and the culprit behind this conflict was none other than Wan Tianchen from Flower Mountain Blessed Land?
Everyone watched the group from Flower Mountain Blessed Land with uncertain expressions. These people, who were usually so dignified and arrogant, were now in a sorry state. Two experts at the Spirit Wandering Realm were dead and injured. Even when facing Wan Tianchen, the culprit, the elder of the Sea Dragon Clan only took back what he had and did not kill him.
In this way, the contrast between the Sea Dragon Clan and the Flower Mountain Blessed Land becomes unmistakable.
At that moment, everyone couldn't help but believe Yang Zhen's words to some extent.
Suddenly, the Shameless Cat walked up to the old man of the Sea Dragon Clan with a blank expression and asked with a strange look, "Wasn't it the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness who sealed you away back then?"
Upon seeing the Shameless Cat, the old man of the Sea Dragon Clan was taken aback. He gave the Shameless Cat a deep look, then burst into laughter, his voice booming like a bell from ancient times, deep and ancient.
"A seal? If it weren't for the Great Emperor, our entire race would probably have been wiped out back then!"
"What?" Shameless Cat old man, his expression one of utter shock and disbelief, asked, "What exactly happened back then? Where did all those saints and Great Emperor go? What has happened to this world?"
Everyone stared blankly at the Shameless Cat and the old man from the Sea Dragon Clan, their expressions turning to horror as they looked at each other.
Yang Zhen was also startled, his gaze fixed intently on the old man of the Sea Dragon Clan.
Yang Zhen had always thought that the Shameless Cat was faking it and actually knew what had happened back then, but now it seemed that the cat really didn't know.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the elder of the Sea Dragon Clan sighed deeply and said, "I don't know!"
Everyone looked disappointed.
Yang Zhen's shock intensified. The entire world had undergone earth-shattering changes; the continent might have even collapsed. And these people knew nothing about it?
Did something happen during the ancient times that has not been passed down?
Where have the saints gone? Where have the Great Emperor fled? What changes have occurred in the world? No one knows.
How the hell is that possible?
Yang Zhen stared at the old man with a shifty gaze, feeling that the old man definitely knew something.
Sure enough, the old man gave Yang Zhen a deep look and said, "Although I don't know what happened back then, the Great Emperor once told us that Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth was coming and that he would help us temporarily refine one realm to escape the disaster."
At this point, the old man revealed a look of longing and anticipation, muttering to himself, " The Great Emperor has bestowed upon my race the grace of enlightenment and understanding, how could he seal us away?"
Everyone was utterly shocked, stunned by the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth the old man spoke of.
What exactly is this Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth that even saints and Great Emperor feel they cannot escape it?
Just as Yang Zhen was about to ask, the Shameless Cat chuckled and stopped Yang Zhen, saying, "Kid, don't ask any more questions. You won't get anything out of it. I told you before, even those who know some secrets won't tell anyone, and they can't even leave any information behind, because this matter might be related to... the Principle!"
The moment the word "Principle" was uttered, everyone present, without exception, changed their expression.
Heaven and earth are supreme, governed by the power of Principle!
All living beings, including heaven and earth, thrive and multiply under the power of the Principle; no one can escape Principle!
Any living being in the world, even the legendary dragons, Qilin, and other divine beasts, as well as the ancient and great sages and Great Emperor, are as insignificant as ants before the Principle.
The power of Principle is insurmountable; this is a universally acknowledged principle since ancient times.
Rumble!
Thick, dark clouds had gathered in the sky at some unknown time, accompanied by thunder and rumbling thunder. Everyone looked up in shock, their expressions filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Clearly, the matter being discussed by everyone present had touched upon the edge of Heavenly Tribulation.
Any living being that has not cultivated to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm will be annihilated without exception when facing the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Shameless Cat's expression changed, and it quickly covered its mouth, winking at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was utterly horrified. He looked up at the rolling clouds, where lightning snakes danced wildly, and the terrifying power of the heavens sent chills down his spine.
For some reason, at this moment, Yang Zhen really wanted to use his middle finger to poke a hole in the thick cloud layer pressing down on his head.
This chilling feeling of being pressed down on him was quite unpleasant.
At this moment, the Shameless Cat tugged at Yang Zhen's sleeve and said, "Kid, did you promise the Sea Dragon Clan something? Now that the conflict is over, you should do what you were supposed to do. By the way, were these things really told to you by the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness?"
Yang Zhen rolled his eyes at the Shameless Cat and said, "If that old man were to appear in front of this Sage of Saunter, he would scare this Sage of Saunter to death."
"How did you know that?"
Do you know about the Dragon-Stealing Platform?
"What?"
"It's nothing, it's something left behind by the Great Emperor, that's all he told me..."
"Boy, is there something else you haven't taken out yet? Tell me quietly, I'm always tight-lipped."
"Get lost!"
"Damn it, are we still good brothers?"
Wang Meiling looked at Yang Zhen with a complicated expression. The surprise and uncertainty on her face never disappeared. All of this seemed to be beyond her comprehension.
At this moment, led by the Sea Dragon Clan, the group arrived in front of an enormous crystal cave and were immediately taken aback.
The exquisite crystal exudes an elusive charm, and the passageway is filled with rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, some familiar and some unfamiliar, some well-known and some unknown. Those priceless treasures that are impossible to find outside are casually tossed on the ground inside.
"Damn, what a luxurious place!" The Shameless Cat's eyes lit up, lost in thought.
What astonished everyone was that there seemed to be a special restriction at the edge of this crystal cave, powerful and chilling. Clearly, this place was not one that could be entered or exited at will.
The elder of the Sea Dragon Clan placed one hand on his heart, bowed deeply to Yang Zhen, and said, "Young friend Yang, I entrust everything to you!"
