"The Tomb of the Sea God? What kind of place is that? A secret realm?"

Just from the name Yi Xuan, you can tell this is no ordinary place.

Although Yi Xuan has only been in the Eternal Sea for a few days, he already has some understanding of the Yi Xuan Sea God's status in the hearts of the Sea Clan.

In the Eternal Sea, if you curse a Sea Clan's parents, he might refrain from attacking you.

However, if you disrespect the Sea God in his presence, the surrounding Sea Clan will kill you immediately, which shows just how high the Sea God's position is in the hearts of the Sea Clan.

In the hearts of all Sea Clan, the Sea God is their ancestor, the creator of the Eternal Sea, and also its guardian.

This shows that the Tomb of the Sea God mentioned by Xing Qi is definitely not as simple as it seems.

In response to Yi Xuan's question, Xing Qi quickly explained, "It is said that the Tomb of the Sea God is the mausoleum of the Sea God!"

"A mausoleum? The Sea God is dead?"

Upon hearing Yi Xuan's disrespectful remarks, Xing Qi's face immediately showed an unnatural expression, clearly indicating that he wanted to explode but held back his emotions.

Yi Xuan realized there was a problem with what he had said, so he quickly corrected himself, saying, "What I meant was, isn't the Sea God the spiritual anchor of your Sea Clan? Since he's a god, how can there be a mausoleum?"

After hearing Yi Xuan's explanation, Xing Qi also composed himself and explained, "I don't know the specific reasons either, but everyone has called that place the Tomb of the Sea God since ancient times. Legend has it that it is where the Sea God once lived, and it even contains the Sea God's legacy."

"The Sea God's legacy? What does that have to do with Junior Sister Mu?"

"Your Excellency, there is no necessary connection between the two. Your Junior Sister Mu has clearly been possessed by a powerful being. Being able to repel a tsunami in the Eternal Sea is something no Human Clan could do. Even for the Sea Clan, it's no easy feat. At the very least, I couldn't do it."

So what are you trying to say?

"What I meant was that the Tomb of the Sea God will open in three years, and any cultivator from the Sea Clan under the age of fifty can enter! Although we don't know who possessed your junior sister, since she is under fifty, she will definitely appear when the Tomb of the Sea God opens!"

Thus, with Xing Qi's introduction, Yi Xuan finally gained some understanding of the Tomb of the Sea God.

According to him, the Tomb of the Sea God is just a name. If one were to be precise, the Tomb of the Sea God is, in legend, a mausoleum built by the Sea God for himself. However, almost all the Sea Clan believe that this mausoleum is empty.

Furthermore, this Tomb of the Sea God is different from the Artifact Ruins.

The Artifact Ruins do not belong to the Cultivation Realm, but exist in an alternate dimension that relies on the Cultivation Realm.

Those High Antiquity powerful beings possessed extraordinary strength and discovered many extradimensional spaces that existed within the Cultivation Realm. As a result, they established their sects or residences within these extradimensional spaces.

As time goes by, prosperity fades, and no matter how powerful one may be, the final result is either ascension or turning into a handful of dust.

The alternate dimension gradually fell into disuse, and when it was rediscovered by others, it evolved into the various secret realms found in the Cultivation Realm today.

However, the Tomb of the Sea God is fundamentally different from the Secret Realm.

The most important difference is that the Tomb of the Sea God is not located in another dimension, but within the Eternal Sea.

After hearing this explanation, Yi Xuan asked with some doubt, "Since it's within the Eternal Sea, why does it only open once every hundred years? Is there some kind of illusion array that only appears once every hundred years?"

Xing Qi shook his head and said, "No, the Tomb of the Sea God is located on an island in the very center of the Eternal Sea. That island has no illusion arrays, so it can be seen at any time, and people can go up there."

"However, normally when you go up there, the island is no different from any other small island, and the Tomb of the Sea God the Sea God left behind by the Sea God will never appear! Only on the few days when the Tomb of the Sea God opens every hundred years can you see the Tomb of the Sea God located in the center of the island! And only on those few days will the island screen those who come to the island; only those under the age of fifty can enter the island!"

In Xing Qi's words, the opening of the Tomb of the Sea God was a grand event for the entire Sea Clan. Almost every Sea Clan who benefited from the Eternal Sea later became a figure who stirred up storms in the Eternal Sea, including some of the powerful figures among the Sea Clan today.

Yi Xuan was also very interested in the Tomb of the Sea God. At the same time, he realized that the number of Hai Qingshi who had escaped from his grasp by some unknown means was probably less than fifty.

Three years later, when the Tomb of the Sea God opens, the other party might appear again.

At that time, Yi Xuan might not only find Junior Sister Mu's whereabouts, but he might even be able to obtain the secret technique for replacing Spirit Root from Hai Qingshi. It seems that he has no choice but to go to the Tomb of the Sea God.

However, Yi Xuan is, after all Human Clan, so whether he can enter the Tomb of the Sea God is still a question.

Xing Qi, however, told Yi Xuan not to worry, as the Tomb of the Sea God was not only for the Sea Clan; Human Clan, sea monsters, and even Demon Beast could enter.

However, the Tomb of the Sea God also exerts the same suppressive effect on the Human Clan and Demon Beast on land as the Eternal Sea.

Therefore, the benefits for the Human Clan and Demon Beast were not significant each time the event was launched, and over time, fewer and fewer Human Clan and Demon Beast participated.

Only top geniuses have the confidence to believe they can profit from entering this field.

Afterwards, the two discussed the situation in the two cities of North Wave and East Expanses, even though Xing Qi was already the de facto ruler of both cities at this time.

But he knew in his heart that Yi Xuan must have other purposes for helping him gain control of two cities, so he took the initiative to ask.

Yi Xuan was very pleased to hear Xing Qi's words; dealing with intelligent people was so easy.

So he revealed all his plans.

Firstly, Xing Qi was tasked with vigorously developing trade between the Sea Clan and the Human Clan in the two cities.

Secondly, Yi Xuan asked Xing Qi to find a relatively secluded place between the two cities, as he had other uses for it.

Thirdly, there's the matter of Junior Sister Mu. Although Xing Qi guessed that Junior Sister Mu might appear at the Tomb of the Sea God in three years, Yi Xuan didn't want to wait around waiting for her to appear. What if Junior Sister Mu didn't show up by then?

Therefore, Yi Xuan still instructed Xing Qi to order his men to inquire throughout the Eternal Sea.

After all, they are all Sea Clan, and it would definitely be easier for them to obtain intelligence in the Eternal Sea than for Lü Huang and the others.

As for Lü Huang, Yi Xuan instructed him to hand over the caravan's affairs to others and then sent him back to the Xia Kingdom.
