Venerable Yuan Gave Up Trying

Venerable Yuan's original plan was to use the Barbarian Clan invasion to unite the five immortal kingdoms against a common enemy, ultimately leading to unification.

After unifying the land, the Human Clan gained the ability to launch a counterattack against the Barbarian Clan.

We will first conquer the Barbarian Clan, then attack the Sea Clan in the Eternal Sea to the south, the Demon Beast in the Eternal Night Forest to the east, and the Golden Kingdom to the west.

If everything goes smoothly, the entire Cultivation Realm will eventually move towards unification.

At that time, as the sole ruling power, the National Fortune of the Immortal Kingdom was naturally unparalleled.

If we use the remaining time to focus on developing national strength, we might actually be able to successfully leave the Heavenly Dog's body before the deadline.

Of course, this is all assuming everything goes smoothly.

Who could have imagined that the tone set a million years ago would be stabbed in the back by the Barbarian Clan just as it was coming to an end?

However, Venerable Yuan did not harbor any resentment towards the Barbarian Clan.

After all, they've tried enough methods over millions of years.

Venerable Yuan believed that not only the Barbarian Clan, but also many people in the Cultivation Realm who knew everything had begun to doubt him.

They began to doubt the divination techniques that Venerable Yuan had used.

However, even though the Barbarian Clan have backed out, Venerable Yuan still needs to make a trip to the Sea Clan.

As long as the Sea Clan keep their promise, the previous plan can still be completed with slight modifications.

Unfortunately, Venerable Yuan was destined to be disappointed.

When he arrived above the Sea Emperor City, he was not greeted by the Sea Clan with imperial titles that he had expected.

Instead, it was a young man he had never seen before.

"Who are you...?"

Looking at the unfamiliar face before him, Venerable Yuan felt a growing unease.

"Venerable Yuan, I am Hai Qingshi!"

"Hai Qingshi?"

Venerable Yuan was certain that he had never seen the young Sea Clan before.

However, if Yi Xuan were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize the person in front of him.

That's right, this is the Hai Qingshi that once escaped from Yi Xuan's grasp.

In order to obtain the secret technique for seizing Spirit Root that he possessed, Yi Xuan searched for several years in the Eternal Sea, but unfortunately, he could not find any trace of him.

Unexpectedly, this guy has now appeared in the Sea Emperor City.

"Young man! Where are your seven great emperors of the Sea Clan? Why are they nowhere to be seen? Why were you sent instead?"

"The Emperor?"

Hai Qingshi muttered the name to himself, a strange expression on his face.

"The Sea Clan of today has no emperor! Only Sea God!"

"Sea God?"

I haven't heard the title "Venerable Yuan" in a long time.

Hearing it again now, he could almost picture a spirited figure standing before him.

The person stood on the Eternal Sea, waving his hands incessantly in the air.

Thin lines intertwined continuously in the sky.

When he finally finished moving, the man finally turned around.

An incomparably handsome Sea Clan face appeared before Venerable Yuan's eyes.

"Venerable Yuan! Although we cannot draw upon enough Power of the Stars, this Heaven-Sealing Great Array is still a viable option! We entrust everything to you! From this day forward, this sea will be called the Eternal Sea!"

Then, the Sea Clan's body, carried by the sea breeze, slowly transformed into tiny particles, merging into the endless, Eternal Sea.

"Young man! Do you know what the words 'Sea God' represent?"

"Know!"

Hai Qingshi nodded and said, "I am now the Sea God!"

After saying this, Hai Qingshi gently waved his hand upwards.

An array diagram instantly formed above their heads.

At this moment, it was as if snow was falling above the Eternal Sea, with countless silver specks of light, like snowflakes, slowly landing on its surface.

Strangely, these snowflakes did not dissipate upon contact with the Eternal Sea. Instead, they sank little by little in the water, eventually landing on the array diagram released by the Hai Qingshi.

With the incorporation of these silver dots, the array instantly burst forth with dazzling silver light.

Everyone in the Sea Emperor City was blinded by the silver light.

At this moment, only Venerable Yuan and Hai Qingshi stared intently at the dazzling array diagram without blinking.

After a while, the array gradually dissipated, and the silver light had long since disappeared.

Lost in thought, Venerable Yuan shook his head and looked at Hai Qingshi: "No! You are not him!"

"That's right! I am not him! But I am the Sea God of the Sea Clan!"

"So, you're saying you're in charge of the Sea Clan now?"

What do you think?

Where are the Seven Sea Emperors?

"Sea Emperor? He doesn't even deserve to be called Sea God Emperor because he doesn't respect the Sea Clan!"

Venerable Yuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

From Hai Qingshi's words, he understood that the seven once-powerful Sea Emperors were likely in grave danger.

In fact, Venerable Yuan also wanted to ask whether the promises made by the seven Sea Emperors still stood.

But he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

What does it matter if the person is gone?

Hai Qingshi, who was not far away, could also see what Venerable Yuan was thinking from his expression.

So he took the initiative to speak, saying, "Venerable Yuan, I understand your purpose and your good intentions! However, I'm sorry, but this time my Sea Clan wants to try our own methods again!"

This statement completely shut Venerable Yuan up.

He didn't say anything, just nodded and left the Eternal Sea.

Watching Venerable Yuan leave, Hai Qingshi shook his head, but ultimately didn't say another word.

Venerable Yuan, who left the Eternal Sea, did not return to the Mystic Gate.

Instead, he wandered around the Cultivation Realm.

The matter of the Barbarian Clan and Sea Clan was like the straw that broke the camel's back, shattering Venerable Yuan's last stand.

The distrust of the Barbarian Clan and Sea Clan seemed to negate his millions of years of hard work in an instant.

Even a former Tribulation Transcendence Golden Immortal would find it difficult to fall into despondency after such a blow.

Forget it! Let's destroy it!

Having figured all this out, Venerable Yuan quickly entered a state of stagnation.

What do these Cultivation Realm and Heavenly Dog have to do with me?

I've been busy for millions of years, it's time to enjoy my final moments.

With this mindset in mind, Venerable Yuan unknowingly entered the Southern Frontier.

After fifty years of development, Southern Frontier today has become somewhat out of step with the rest of the world.

The most direct manifestation of this is that Venerable Yuan, a top figure who wields immense influence in the Cultivation Realm, sees everything in Southern Frontier as nothing more than a peasant visiting the city.

High-rise buildings go without saying.

He was dazzled by all the things he had never seen before.

Those around them were equally astonished when they saw Venerable Yuan.

Just as Venerable Yuan was immersed in the awe of the modern city, a weasel-faced fellow approached him.

"Sir! You're from the Central Continent, aren't you?"

How did you know?

"Hey! I can tell from your outfit that nobody in all of Southern Frontier dresses like you anymore! Are you here for tourism?"

Thinking back on everything that had happened, Venerable Yuan surprisingly nodded as if possessed.

Seeing Venerable Yuan nod, the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow came up and pulled him away.

As he walked, he said, "It's easy for those who come to have fun. Leave everything to me, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
