Chapter 611 - 334: Sealed Land (Part 2)
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanzi’s eyes lit up, and he began to ponder seriously, murmuring, "This possibility is very high! The seabed is their territory and is not easily discovered. However, negotiating with the sea tribes might be somewhat difficult."
"No matter how difficult it is, we must find a way to overcome it. If we can’t completely eradicate the remnants of the Nine Demons Sect, once they break the seal, it would be a disaster for the entire Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region!" Tianshang Supreme, having refined the Spirit Treasure, said in a deep voice.
"That’s right, think of a way to communicate with the major sea tribes, make them understand the threat of the Nine Demons Sect. If we can get their support, the remnants of the Nine Demons Sect will have nowhere to hide!"
Chen Xuanzi nodded and said, "This plan is feasible! The sea tribes in the South Wilderness Spirit Realm are powerful. If we can get their support, things will be much easier."
After some discussion, the group bid farewell to Li Mu and sprang into action.
Time flew by, and over two months passed.
In the depths of the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, Ancestor Wutian and his subordinates, led by Hong Shuang, arrived at this sea realm filled with powerful restrictions.
Ahead was a trench a thousand feet deep, like a giant wound in the divided world, deep and mysterious. The seawater here became exceptionally cold, seemingly capable of freezing even the soul. A dense corrosive aura pervaded the surrounding sea realm, filling one with a sense of oppression and unease.
Ancestor Wutian stood on a giant rock at the seabed, gazing ahead with eyes flickering with madness and fervor, clearly sensing the terrifying power of restriction contained in the sea realm ahead.
"Ancestor, based on clues, I have pinpointed the location of the sealed land, which is in that sea realm filled with powerful restrictions ahead," Hong Shuang reported respectfully to Ancestor Wutian, her voice resonating clearly and distinctly in this underwater world.
Ancestor Wutian was silent for a moment, not answering immediately. He sensed the terrifying power of restriction contained in the sea realm ahead. This power was so strong that it made one’s heart tremble, seemingly capable of devouring all vitality. It was terribly formidable, possessing frightening power even after countless ages. Even with his current cultivation, forcibly entering it carried a significant probability of perishing within.
"Are you sure?" Ancestor Wutian asked Hong Shuang, with a frown for confirmation.
He was deeply afraid that Hong Shuang had randomly picked a dangerous place just to hastily fulfill the task of finding the sealed land.
"Yes, Ancestor," Hong Shuang answered affirmatively, "I saw records of this sea realm in an ancient book. There is substantial evidence to prove this sea realm has a high probability of being the sealed land you are looking for."
Ancestor Wutian’s gaze became deep and sharp, eagerly asking, "What evidence?"
"Ancestor, the massive restriction ahead should have been set up by Biyuan Daoist Monarch," Hong Shuang speculated, then explained, "There has always been a legend about Biyuan Daoist Monarch in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region. It is said that when Biyuan Daoist Monarch ascended to the Upper Realm, he didn’t take his Water Mansion treasure with him. Instead, he used the entire Water Mansion as a town artifact to suppress an ancient demon seed. If there is no accident, that demon seed is the Abyssal Passage we are searching for."
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Wutian was invigorated, nodding in agreement, "Hmm! That must not be wrong! The legend of the ancient battle between the two realms indeed includes Biyuan Daoist Monarch’s presence!"
The legend of the ancient battle between the two realms dates back to countless ages. But mentioning the name of Biyuan Daoist Monarch still sent a shiver down Ancestor Wutian’s spine. As a once powerful figure of the Upper Realm, Biyuan Daoist Monarch’s strength was unfathomable, and even after ascending to the Upper Realm, his legend still lingered in the sea region.
It appeared the sealed land was found, yet figuring out how to enter it became a conundrum.
For a moment, Ancestor Wutian was hesitant, unable to think of a way to break the seal.
Displaying a trace of gravitas, Ancestor Wutian murmured with a frown, "The restriction power generated by this Water Mansion is truly extraordinary. If we forcibly break in, countless lives could be lost!"
Hong Shuang nodded in agreement, then said, "Ancestor, according to my investigation, Biyuan Daoist Monarch had several beast companions follow him before ascending. These beast companions had ordinary talents and could not ascend with him to the Upper Realm. If my hypothesis is correct, the key to entering the Water Mansion should be with these beasts. Having lived through countless ages, they must have perished, so the key to entering the mansion should have been left with their descendants. If we can find the key to enter the mansion, we won’t need to force our way through this restriction."
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Wutian’s eyes lit up, naturally understanding Hong Shuang’s meaning. If they found the descendants of these beast companions and obtained the key to enter the Water Mansion, they could enter it smoothly without taking the enormous risk of breaking through the terrifying restriction.
"Very good! You have done excellently! You’ve achieved a great merit, and I, as the Ancestor, will not forget your reward," Ancestor Wutian said approvingly to Hong Shuang, expectantly adding, "Next, this task is entrusted to you. Make sure to find the descendants of those beast companions as soon as possible."
"Yes! I will do my utmost to complete the task!" Hong Shuang replied respectfully, hesitating slightly before expressing concern, "Ancestor, we currently lack manpower. The Ten Thousand Islands Sect and the Sea God Sect seem to have allied with the major sea tribes in searching for our whereabouts. If they unite, this task might be hard to accomplish."
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Wutian’s eyes gleamed sharply, already calculating in his mind.
"Understood, act carefully and avoid alerting other forces. I will soon supplement the manpower for you. Also, have someone monitor this sea realm’s activities at all times, and report to me immediately if there is anything unusual." Ancestor Wutian instructed.
"Yes! I will make arrangements immediately." Hong Shuang replied respectfully and left.
With Hong Shuang’s departure, Ancestor Wutian took a deep breath, resolutely gazing at the sea realm ahead filled with terrible restrictions. The upcoming actions would be a race against time. Finding a way to enter the sealed land in the shortest time possible was imperative; otherwise, everything would turn into bubbles.

Crescent Island, the Protective Array was constantly activated, with Spirit Mist perennially enveloping it, making it impossible for anyone to discern the true location of Crescent Island.
At the center of Crescent Island, near the two thousand acres of top-grade Spirit Field, Li Mu stood silently. With a wave of his hand, thousands of Purple Sun Jades were cast out from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, glowing brilliantly. In an instant, each piece of Purple Sun Jade transformed into clusters of sharp Purple Qi, which, under the array’s augmentation, flowed into each Purple Sun Reishi.
The Spirit Field, originally filled to the brim with spiritual energy, nourished by Purple Qi, became even more vibrantly charming. Each Purple Sun Reishi appeared to be draped in a regal purple robe, looking nobler and more mysterious.
Next, Li Mu raised his right hand gently, summoning a cyan Water Storage Bottle from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl. This bottle was filled with Tier Four Taihua Moon Dew, with each drop condensed with Moon Spirit Essence and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Li Mu decisively uncorked the Water Storage Bottle, and Taihua Moon Dew poured out as streams of spirit mist flowed gracefully from the bottle. The spirit mist was pure and powerful, seeming like the purest essence of the world, slowly irrigating another piece of Yin Soul Fruit’s Spirit Field.
Each stream of spirit mist came with powerful vitality and spiritual power, weaving and swirling in mid-air, creating a breathtaking spectacle. As the spirit mist flowed, the Yin Soul Fruit seemed to gain new life, with originally withered fruits becoming plump and crystal clear. The previously sparse Yin Qi also became dense, converging into a bone-chilling aura.
With Li Mu’s generous dispensation, the status of the Tier Four Purple Sun Reishi and Tier Four Yin Soul Fruit improved significantly, with growth speed accelerating several times over, constantly absorbing the essences from heaven and earth to aid their growth.
However, Li Mu was not yet satisfied. He took out over a hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl and scattered them. Prompted by mana, the Spirit Stones turned into a dense flow of spiritual power, like a fountain of life, permeating the sky above the Spirit Field to supplement spiritual power for the two thousand acres of Spirit Field.
Under the influence of the Spirit Gathering Array and the Yin-Yang Primordial Array, the vitality of the Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit, two kinds of Tier Four Yin-Yang Spirit Plants, became fuller. The two different arrays intertwined and merged, forming a perfect cycle.
The Nine Demons Sect in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region had suffered a heavy blow and vanished from sight. With Tianshang Supreme and Venerable Kun Ling to rely on, the troubles with the Ji Family were also resolved. The Profound Celestial Sword Sect had gone to the South Wilderness Domain, and everything unfortunate dissipated.
Li Mu was finally at ease, assured that no one would come to trouble him in the short term.
