547: All forces gather together to inherit the
On the edge of the North Sea stands the Great Wall.
To resist the monster plague from the North Sea, Great Qin once built the Great Wall, and Great Chu expanded it several times on its foundation. Though called the Great Wall, it actually stretches for ninety thousand li.
Over ten million Cultivators are stationed at the Northern Border Great Wall, their combat power stronger than the other three major borders combined.
The entire North Sea entrance is encircled.
The resources consumed here each year, just for the salaries of the Cultivators stationed, amount to an astronomical figure.
If not for Great Chu possessing a considerable number of ancient Secret Realm, it truly couldn't support such a massive army.
These ten million Cultivators are not all stationed at the Northern Border Great Wall.
Great Chu has deployed three lines of defense in total: the Northern Border Great Wall is the last, the second is located in Zhenhai Prefecture and other islands, and the third is in the Bei Hai Gui Xu Forbidden Ground.
The further out to sea, the stronger the defensive power.
The Northern Border Great Wall, if one holds an officially issued token, can still be entered and exited, and there are even large numbers of fishermen going out to sea to fish.
The fish in the North Sea are Spiritual, and eating them is beneficial.
Officials, nobles, Sect families, all love to eat them, and even the army will go fishing.
If a monster tide occurs, the watchtowers on Zhenhai Prefecture will give warning, closing the Northern Border Great Wall to resist the monster tide.
At the beginning of Great Chu's founding, the Northern Border Great Wall had not yet completely sealed off the sea entrance, and large-scale monster tides frequently erupted, attacking the Northern Border, causing millions of common people to become blood food.
Although the frequency is less than before, it basically occurs once every twenty to thirty years on average, which has become a pattern.
At other times, there are usually only small-scale monster tides, which are difficult to threaten the Northern Border Great Wall, and overall, it is still peaceful.
Chu Jiang departed from Youzhou, and aside from encountering the Eternal Life Alliance Leader midway, the journey was smooth, arriving at the Northern Border Great Wall in less than a day.
"These Northern Eighteen Provinces seem vast and boundless, but in reality, they don't have many people. The closer to the northern border, the sparser the population."
Moreover, there are basically no decent powerhouses. Individual large prefectures don't even have many people, and there are no Spiritual Vein whatsoever. The Demon Suppression Division only has a few hundred people, and the strongest is barely a Great Grandmaster, even worse than the west.
This place is too barren, with no people, no Spiritual Vein, no mineral resources, no Cultivation Secret Realm, and even demons are unwilling to migrate here.
It's purely to maintain territorial ownership, symbolically sending a few people.
In reality, there's no need to send any powerhouses.
If the Northern Border falls, it will be a flat plain, leading directly to the imperial capital.
Chu Jiang strode through the Void Realm, and what greeted his eyes was the incomparably magnificent Northern Border Great Wall. The city walls were majestic, soaring into the clouds, with various formidable killing formations swirling in the air, overflowing with killing intent. It stretched as far as the eye could see, standing at the ends of heaven and earth.
A strong sense of weight and oppression swept over him.
In Chu Jiang's mind, he recalled the history of such a colossal city's construction. This massive city was not something ordinary human power could achieve; it was entirely built by Cultivators above the extraordinary level, taking Great Chu thousands of years to forge this ten-thousand-li formidable pass.
The Great Wall stretched, and as far as the eye could see, there were two gigantic gates, one for entry and one for exit, both heavily guarded, overlooking the passing crowds.
Above the gigantic gates, demon-reflecting mirrors were hung. Any demon, including human demons, who wished to enter or exit, even if they held an officially issued token, would have nowhere to hide.
"These Spiritual fish are getting harder and harder to catch recently. I heard Old Liu stayed at sea for three days and didn't catch a single Spiritual fish."
"A month ago, there were many Spiritual fish near the coast, but now they're all gone. Only those Great Cultivators skilled in water avoidance can go deep into the North Sea and catch some."
"If I could join the Tidal Wave Gang's fishing fleet, I'd definitely have some Harvest."
"Don't dream. You're just a minor Grandmaster; you wouldn't even be able to serve tea and pour water for those large fishing fleets."
Under Giant Gate No. 18, several fishermen who had just returned from the sea were discussing their fishing experiences in the North Sea.
Chu Jiang paused briefly at the formidable pass, and after his token was inspected, he crossed the Northern Border Great Wall and headed straight for the North Sea.
The boundless North Sea, with its endless waves, was unfathomably deep.
The forces of the North Sea Islands are extremely vast, and their foundation is not much weaker than Great Chu's. From the first expedition, it was evident that the North Sea contained a Reaching Heaven Realm mighty expert, which shows its extraordinary nature.
It is mainly divided into the Three Great Immortal Islands, the Twelve Main Islands, and tens of thousands of other small and medium-sized islands, making them impossible to count.
Bai Cao Xian Weng, for example, originated from Penglai Immortal Island, one of the Three Great Immortal Islands.
Zhenhai Prefecture, occupied by Great Chu, is a large island no less important than the Twelve Main Islands.
Chu Jiang did not go directly to Zhenhai Prefecture but instead sped towards Bi Bo Island, the location provided by King Guang of Qin.
The recent commotion on Bi Bo Island, with strange lights appearing, has attracted Cultivators from many islands, with rumors of a mysterious Rongtian Legacy appearing.
However, after piecing together clues, Yan Luo Temple deduced that there were powerful demons lurking there, definitely plotting something big, potentially gathering many high-level demons.
...
The commotion on Bi Bo Island extended over a large sea area, and even several major forces from the Twelve Main Islands rushed to Bi Bo Island in search of an Opportunity.
Just then, a streak of purple lightning tore through the sky.
A giant beast, treading on lightning, pulled a luxurious carriage, traversing the Void Realm.
"Look, it's Lei Jingyun, the Young Master of Lei Yu Force from Xuan Ci Island, one of the Twelve Main Islands, and the tenth-ranked Prodigy on the North Sea Prodigy List! That's Lei Yu Force's exclusive mount, the Five Thunder Beast, it's so damn cool!"
Many Cultivators looked up, their faces filled with envy. Lei Yu Force controls Xuan Ci Island, and all the smaller and larger forces rely on them.
"Lei Jingyun's strength is rumored to be not much weaker than the Immortal Island Prodigies. Among the entire Twelve Islands, few young people can contend with him."
"Lei Yu Force's Primordial Magnetic Divine Light specializes in countering Magic Treasure. Ordinary Magic Treasure can hardly cause effective damage to him."
"I heard that Great Chu produced an unparalleled Prodigy named Chu Jiang, who, at the Heaven and Earth Realm, can kill a Rongtian Seven. Even the Immortal Island Prodigies can't compare to him."
"It's just a rumor. Li Daokong, the Sword King of Qingyun Sect on Penglai Immortal Island, hailed as the North Sea's top Heaven and Earth Realm expert, can only contend with Rongtian Four. How could he possibly kill a Rongtian Seven?"
For a Heaven and Earth Realm expert to kill a Rongtian Seven is simply a fantasy.
When someone in the North Sea Islands began spreading this news, most people scoffed at it, not believing it at all.
In the Rongtian, a single stage difference is a huge chasm.
No matter how Heaven-Defying a Heaven and Earth Realm expert is, it's impossible to contend with a Rongtian Seven.
The gap between them is too immense.
Lei Jingyun, on the Five Thunder Beast carriage, heard the Cultivators below discussing and said with disdain and mockery, "These people are truly brainless fools, believing whatever others say."
"If I really meet him, I'll definitely let the Great Chu Prodigy see what a true Genius is."
Heaven and Earth Realm, killing Rongtian Seven.
Even mythical stories wouldn't dare to fabricate such a plot.
"That's right, Young Master of Lei Yu Force is already one of the few super Genius on the Twelve Islands. If your Primordial Magnetic Divine Light Cultivates further, even the Immortal Island Prodigies will only be defeated by your hand."
Beside Lei Jingyun, a fair-skinned, beautiful woman said, her eyes shimmering, revealing her enchanting charm.
Not long after the Lei Yu Force arrived, several more flying boats broke through the air. On the flying boats, flags with tridents, sound wave flags, and so on were hoisted.
"The largest business association on the Twelve Islands, Chao Yin Pavilion!"
"The Loose Cultivator Alliance from Split Wind Island is also here. It's truly lively now!"
"And also..."
The Loose Cultivator Alliance is a force formed by Loose Cultivator wandering the North Sea Islands. Like Lei Yu Force, they independently occupy one of the Twelve Main Islands, possessing immense strength and being considered a hegemon.
"Interesting!"
Many people are looking forward to it. With Lei Yu Force, the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Chao Yin Pavilion... and many other forces gathered, who will ultimately obtain this Rongtian Legacy?
