The Sea God Palace, located at the deepest part of the Endless Sea, is three hundred thousand miles away from Phil Island in the Philippine Sea.
The term "Endless Sea" is quite fitting; no matter which direction one flies, even for millions of miles, there is no boundary to be found. The word "endless" truly captures the essence of this vast expanse.
The Sea God Palace is far removed from the gathering place of the Sea Tribe. Surrounding the Sea God Palace, there are no conditions suitable for the Sea Tribe's survival. The water temperature there is extremely low, consistently hovering around freezing point, making it impossible for the Sea Tribe to live for extended periods in such cold waters.
Moreover, the food sources for the Sea Tribe, such as fish and sea rice, cannot be produced in large quantities at zero-degree temperatures.
As a result, although the Endless Sea covers an immense area, the territory occupied by the Sea Tribe constitutes only a small fraction of it. The vast majority of the sea remains desolate and devoid of life.
With the threat from the Philippine Sea eliminated, Sea Emperor Nanfeng felt quite pleased. Although heading to the Sea God Palace seemed like a suicidal endeavor to him, Wei Chen insisted on going. With no other choice, he could only lead the way.
Wei Chen had resolved the threat from the Philippine Sea by eliminating Philippe King and several high-ranking officials, unifying the South Sea Region. Sea Emperor Nanfeng was filled with gratitude towards Wei Chen.
However, as they approached the Sea God Palace, a sense of foreboding weighed on Sea Emperor Nanfeng. He only intended to take Wei Chen to the outskirts of the palace before making a swift exit himself, leaving Wei Chen to deal with whatever chaos might ensue.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng had specifically chosen an individual from the Sea Tribe in the Philippine Sea to board the warship. This person was a spy for the Black Magic Clan, tasked with relaying information back to them.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng was well aware of who among them was a spy for the Black Magic Clan. Within that organization, Dark Mages also knew who had been bought off by the Sea Tribe. Both sides were tacitly aware of each other's presence and had refrained from taking action against these spies.
In fact, it was a kind of unspoken understanding.
By deliberately bringing this spy onto his warship, Sea Emperor Nanfeng aimed to witness what would unfold.
Wei Chen was adamant about exploring the Sea God Palace despite numerous warnings from him that had proven futile...
With this, even if Wei Chen encountered trouble at the Sea God Palace, Sea Emperor Nanfeng could easily distance himself from it.
Wei Chen's death had nothing to do with him, and the Black Magic Clan wouldn't launch a massive attack on the South Sea Sea Clan, right?
The Sea Tribe spy bought by the Black Magic Clan was well aware of Sea Emperor Nanfeng's intentions. He remained calm; being a spy for the Black Magic Clan was not a death sentence. He had long understood the tacit agreement between the South Sea Sea Clan and the Black Magic Clan.
Wei Chen's thoughts and Sea Emperor Nanfeng's warnings were both taken to heart. He also understood that White Out and Sea Emperor Nanfeng had deliberately intended for him to board the Warship.
The news of Wei Chen's intention to go to the Sea God Palace quickly reached the Black Magic Palace through the spy's special means.
Inside the Black Magic Palace, upon receiving the news, the Dark Mage and several high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan were rendered speechless, unable to recover for a long time.
“Everyone, that brat Wei Chen is unaware of his own limitations and actually wants to venture into the Sea God Palace! What do you think we should do about this?” The Dark Mage finally regained his composure and shouted angrily.
In the hall, the faces of the high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan were extremely grim. They had heard rumors about the Sea God Palace but were unaware of its dangers. They had no idea what this so-called Sea God truly was; perhaps no one in the entire Demon Domain knew.
The Sea God Palace was situated in the South Sea Region, with no other similar places in any other waters.
“Demon Emperor, Young Mistress is resourceful; she surely won't come to harm. If she intends to explore that legendary Sea God Palace, it must be because she has some assurance. Given Young Mistress's nature, she would never act recklessly.”
“Indeed, Demon Emperor, you can rest assured. Young Mistress has always been cautious and would never engage in a battle without confidence.”
“Yes, Young Mistress is very clever; she wouldn't do anything that could lead to her downfall.”
Upon hearing this, the Dark Mage's anger only intensified.
He shouted, "This is all nonsense! What kind of place is the Sea God Palace? It is the legendary prison of the Sea God! That fool has no idea what he's getting into, do you not understand?"
"Despite the Sea Emperor Nanfeng's numerous attempts to dissuade him, he even went so far as to call our spies onto the Warship to understand the situation, all to ensure that when that fool gets into trouble, he can escape unscathed!"
"He has done everything he could to warn him, but that stubborn pig doesn't fear boiling water. It's infuriating!"
The Dark Mage was filled with rage, each word shouted with intensity. In the grand hall, no one from the Black Magic Clan dared to speak up any longer.
"Prepare the fastest Cloudpiercer Warship; I will personally go to the Sea God Palace!"
Moments later, five slender Warships, entirely blue and measuring three hundred meters long and ten meters wide, set sail from the Black Magic Palace, heading straight for the South Sea Region.
Onboard the Warship were the Dark Mage and several high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan, along with over a thousand elite warriors from the clan, creating an imposing presence.
Soon, news spread throughout the entire Demon Realm.
The Young Master of the Dark Demon Clan, Wei Chen, had ventured into danger by heading to the South Sea Region's Sea God Palace for exploration. The Dark Mage was furious and rushed towards the South Sea Region with a large contingent from the Black Magic Clan.
In terms of speed, the Black Magic Clan's Cloudpiercer Warship could cover hundreds of thousands of miles in a day, making it possible to catch up with Wei Chen's Warship.
The entire Demon Realm was closely monitoring this situation. While they were aware of the rumors surrounding the Sea God Palace, no one truly understood what it was or what lay within. They were also uncertain about the true power of the legendary Sea God.
From the reaction of the Black Magic Clan, it seems that the Sea God Palace is in a desperate situation; otherwise, the Black Magic Clan wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
...
On Wei Chen's warship, Sea Emperor Nanfeng was earnestly trying to persuade Wei Chen.
"Wei Chenyu, have you ever considered that you are the only grandson of the Dark Mage? If anything were to happen to you, your grandfather would go mad, and the entire situation in the Demon Realm would undergo drastic changes. Because of you, your grandfather might even expend millions of troops to attack the Sea Tribe. Whether it's our Sea Tribe or the human race on your continent, we are all branches of humanity. How many lives would be lost in such a large-scale war? No matter what happens, if something were to happen to you, it would all fall on your shoulders."
"One move can affect the whole body; right now, countless lives depend on you. It's truly not worth it to take such risks."
Sea Emperor Nanfeng looked at Wei Chen with helplessness. He had said similar things countless times before, but it was useless; Wei Chen was as stubborn as a rock in a latrine—both foul and unyielding.
After hearing Sea Emperor Nanfeng's words, Wei Chen replied calmly, "Even if your words are like flowers falling from the sky, I will not change my mind. I must go to the Sea God Palace. Save your breath; my decision is made and irrevocable."
Upon hearing this, Sea Emperor Nanfeng felt extremely helpless. How could there be such a peculiar person? He simply wouldn’t listen!
During his time spent with Wei Chen, Sea Emperor Nanfeng had developed a deeper concern for him. He didn't want Wei Chen to throw his life away. On one hand, he wanted to avoid provoking a battle between the Black Magic Clan and the South Sea Sea Clan; on the other hand, he personally didn't want Wei Chen to die.
Such a talent with strong Mental Strength had great potential to lead the Demon Realm into a new era of prosperity. It was well-known that what the Demon Realm lacked most was strong individuals in terms of Mental Strength; everyone’s Mental Strength was relatively weak. If Wei Chen could share his methods of cultivating Mental Strength, it would represent a significant advancement for the entire Demon Realm.
Even for the sake of the Demon Realm's development, Sea Emperor Nanfeng did not wish for Wei Chen to perish.
"Going to the Sea God Palace is nothing but a death wish!"
"Wei Chen, think it over. There are still two days' journey to the Sea God Palace. You have time to reconsider; you can still turn back," Sea Emperor Nanfeng sighed, feeling frustrated.
Wei Chen shook his head. "Thank you for your concern, but once I've made up my mind, not even my grandfather could change it."
"I actually hope your grandfather comes soon. At least that way, if something happens to you, our South Sea Sea Clan won't suffer along with you," Sea Emperor Nanfeng said candidly.
Wei Chen smiled lightly. "You let that Fellow board the Warship; he must be our Black Magic Clan's spy in the Sea Tribe, right? My grandfather won't inexplicably cause you trouble, so don't worry."
Sea Emperor Nanfeng knew that Wei Chen had easily guessed he had allowed a Black Magic Clan agent onto the Warship. Wei Chen was sharp and perceptive.
"Do as you wish; I have nothing more to say," Sea Emperor Nanfeng clasped his fists toward Wei Chen and lost interest in further conversation before walking away.
Wei Chen gazed calmly into the distance. The road is walked by people; without effort, how would one know if success is possible?
He would definitely go to the Sea God Palace; no one could stop him.
At that moment, Lynn Luyao approached Wei Chen and bowed gracefully. "Young Mistress, thank you for saving me."
"No need for thanks; it was what I should do," Wei Chen replied lightly.
"Young Mistress, Philippe King is dead. Is the seal in my mind still intact?"
"Still here, but don't worry, that seal can never be broken by anyone. You will live normally," Wei Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Lynn Luyao frowned and asked, "Will that seal always exist?"
"For now, yes. But I will do my best to try to dissolve that seal," Guo Nan replied, looking at Lynn Luyao, the poor woman whose eyes were filled with worry yet wore a smile on her face. The future of the Red Demon Tribe had unexpectedly become intertwined with the bloodline of the Sea Tribe. Although Lynn Luyao didn't say it out loud, her feelings were evident.
In the face of such a situation, even the broad-minded Man would struggle to bear it, let alone a woman.
No matter how composed Lynn Luyao tried to appear, the sadness and helplessness in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Young Mistress, is there no way to change my Sea Tribe bloodline?" Lynn Luyao looked at Wei Chen with sorrowful eyes.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "There's no way to change it. You are already of the Sea Tribe bloodline. As far as I know, this kind of thing cannot be altered."
At these words, Lynn Luyao's eyes turned red, but she still forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. The Sea Tribe is just the Sea Tribe. At least my current abilities are quite strong."
"Lynn Luyao, if you can truly think this way, then everything will be fine. I don't know exactly what you're feeling deep down, but in my opinion, whether it's humans or the Sea Tribe, they are merely branches of humanity. It doesn't matter if you are from the Demon Domain or the Sea Tribe; it all depends on how you perceive it. So what if you are of the Sea Tribe? Right now, you have significant advantages over ordinary humans from the Demon Domain or even those within the Endless Sea's Sea Tribe. You are both human and of the Sea Tribe, combining the strengths of both races. Your future cultivation path will have many advantages," Wei Chen comforted Lynn Luyao.
Hearing Wei Chen's words of comfort, Lynn Luyao took them as mere consolation. No matter what, she did not want to become part of the Sea Tribe.
"Don't worry for now. Once I get to the Sea God Palace, I might find a way."
