112: Find the inheritor of the Tide Palace

After the meeting at Myriad Spirits Manor concluded, The two Old Ancestors, Jin and Huo, transformed into two long rainbows piercing the sun, tearing through the vast sky as they sped toward Fallen Immortal City.

On the return journey, the gale was biting, and the sea of clouds churned.

"Old Jin, what do you think of this matter?" Old Ancestor Huo, who wore fire armor and possessed a more fiery temperament, broke the silence first and asked in a muffled voice.

"That Old fellow Wan Jian is not one to shoot without a target; in my opinion, this matter is likely true!"

Within his eyes, which resembled molten lava, a fierce Battle Intent flickered.

"We should indeed go! We must properly test the foundation of that Myriad Spirits Gate!"

"If it is truly as Wan Jian said, and that Myriad Spirits Gate really hides a Spirit Transformation Realm existence, yet they act in such a sneaky and hidden manner... what they are plotting is definitely no small matter!"

Old Ancestor Huo paused, his tone becoming increasingly grave.

"There are only two possibilities for this!"

"First, that existence is plotting something, a shocking conspiracy capable of overturning the entire East Sea Region!"

"Second... is that it is in an extremely weak state, perhaps recovering from injuries and unable to easily make a move."

"If it is the latter..." A flash of ruthlessness crossed Old Ancestor Huo's eyes: "Then it is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for us!"

"With your power, mine, plus Wan Jian and True Lord Sanhai, the four of us joining forces—even if we cannot completely eliminate it, we will definitely be able to make its injuries worse, delaying this grave threat for our East Sea Region."

After hearing Old Ancestor Huo's clear analysis, Ancestor Jin, clad in golden robes, fell into a brief contemplation.

A moment later, he nodded slowly, and his voice, filled with weight and vicissitudes, sounded slowly.

"What you say makes sense."

"In any case, that Myriad Spirits Gate is now a mortal enemy of our Beast Taming Sect. If Three Seas City and Myriad Spirits Manor are truly willing to join forces with us to attack them, it would be a disguised help for our Beast Taming Sect to solve a major problem."

"This matter is feasible."

"Speaking of Three Seas City..." A trace of doubt flashed in Old Ancestor Huo's majestic eyes, "Old Jin, do you know the specific origins of that Three Seas City?"

The power known as Sanhai is also an extremely unique existence in the East Sea Region.

It appears as if it emerged out of thin air.

Five hundred years ago, that Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator known as True Lord Sanhai suddenly emerged.

With his own strength, he integrated countless Loose Cultivator forces across the East Sea and created Three Seas City, which is now capable of rivaling the top Sects.

But before this, whether in the East Sea Region or the even wider Endless Sea, there was never any information about this person, "True Lord Sanhai".

He seemed to have popped out of a crack in a rock, filled with endless mystery.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Jin shook his head gently.

"I do not know."

"However, I have secretly speculated that True Lord Sanhai might be a... Disciple who luckily survived from the 'Tidal Palace' that was destroyed long ago."

"Tidal Palace?"

Hearing this name, which had long been buried in the dust of history, the flames of gossip reignited in Old Ancestor Huo's eyes.

"Speaking of which, why was the Tidal Palace destroyed back then? There are many rumors, which one is true?"

Under his gaze.

Immortal Master Jin thought for a moment before replying.

"According to the most widely known version of the rumors, the Tidal Palace, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, actually snatched the cub of a sixth-rank sea beast, the 'Kun Whale'."

"This angered that ocean overlord, which was comparable to a Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouse, and ultimately led to the end of their entire Sect being blood-washed."

He said slowly, though his tone carried a hint of uncertainty.

"However, this matter happened a long time ago, and I am afraid no one knows the specific truth anymore."

During their conversation, the two had already crossed ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, returning once again to the Fallen Immortal City, which was filled with iron-blooded and murderous Qi.

They did not delay in the slightest and immediately summoned Sect Master Shangguan Jing to their presence.

They told him, in full detail, about the matter of joining forces to crusade against the Myriad Spirits Gate.

"We two have already agreed to this matter."

Ancestor Jin looked at Shangguan Jing, who was already shocked and shaken, and instructed in a deep voice.

"If that Myriad Spirits Gate really hides a Spirit Transformation Realm existence, we might never return from this trip."

"The Sect will be fully entrusted to you to manage from now on."

"Also..." Old Ancestor Huo added, "The only offspring of Old Jin and me is currently in the Forbidden Ground of the Sect, in closed-door cultivation and slumber. If we both unfortunately fall, you must treat it well!"

Hearing this heavy entrustment, which sounded like final words, Shangguan Jing's heart suddenly ached!

His knees went weak, and he knelt heavily on the ground, his deep eyes already bloodshot.

"Two Old Ancestors, please rest assured."

"Disciple Shangguan Jing swears here!"

"As long as this Disciple has a breath left, I will certainly protect the Sect well, and protect the Young Lord well!"

...

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Three Seas City, City Lord's Mansion, in the deepest part.

Behind a huge stone door filled with strange and ominous aura, there was a dark, damp, yet infinitely luxurious... underground palace.

True Lord Sanhai's figure appeared silently in the underground palace.

I saw that in the center of the underground palace, an ice bed made of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade was placed.

A handsome young man in gorgeous clothes, with an effeminate temperament, was sitting cross-legged.

It was none other than Jia Wenmo, who had once sought out Ye Feiyan to ask for that "Spirit Awakening Pill"!

And on one side of the ice bed, an old man with white hair and beard, skin and bones, was being tightly locked by several pitch-black shackles flashing with runic light.

His limbs and shoulder blades were completely pierced by two Magical Artifacts, and his cultivation had long been abolished completely.

"Young Lord."

True Lord Sanhai came before Jia Wenmo and bowed respectfully.

That posture was actually several times more humble than when facing Wan Jian!

"Have you obtained what you wanted?"

Jia Wenmo opened those narrow eyes slowly, and a trace of undisguised irritation and helplessness flashed through them.

He shook his head.

"That Spirit Awakening Pill did indeed have some methods, successfully awakening this Old fellow's consciousness."

"But no matter what method I use, this old thing refuses to say where that item is hidden!"

"Hmph!" True Lord Sanhai heard this, and a flash of ruthlessness instantly crossed his eyes: "Young Lord, since he refuses a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then this subordinate will directly search his soul."

"It's useless."

However, Jia Wenmo shook his head again.

"In this Old fellow's Sea of Consciousness, an extremely powerful Restriction has been planted by a Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouse."

"If I forcibly search his soul, it will trigger that Restriction in an instant, causing him to instantly suffer Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

"Sigh..."

True Lord Sanhai could only sigh helplessly upon hearing this.

Immediately, he reported the major event discussed at Myriad Spirits Manor to Jia Wenmo in full detail.

After listening, Jia Wenmo's brow, which was originally full of effeminate air, instantly locked tightly.

"Myriad Spirits Gate... Spirit Transformation Realm?"

"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome."

"Young Lord," True Lord Sanhai saw this and couldn't help but persuade again, "This place is too strange, should we give up on that item and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

However, Jia Wenmo refused without hesitation.

In his narrow eyes, a flash of almost pathological madness and persistence crossed.

"That item is my only hope to change my own destiny."

"I have been searching bitterly in this godforsaken East Sea Region for nearly three hundred years."

"Now that I have finally found some clues, how can I fail at this critical moment?!"

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and his voice, full of coldness and unquestionable authority, sounded slowly.

"Sanhai, you must immediately use all your power to investigate for this Seat!"

"Find out who obtained the Legacy after that 'Tidal Palace' reappeared."

"That Old fellow is the last Palace Master of the Tidal Palace!"

"He is very likely to have left the news of that item to his successor."

"As for the matter of the Myriad Spirits Gate..."

He sneered disdainfully.

"You do not need to pay attention to it."

"This Seat will naturally let Jin Ling handle it."

"Your only task now is to find that Tidal Palace Inheritor for this Seat."
