Chapter 1812 Seclusion and the Reign of the True Dragon Sea!
"If there is any disobedience!"
Anyone who rashly knocks on the gate, regardless of reason or identity, will be executed without mercy, and their entire family will be implicated!
Following the explicit ban, the plan for the future actions of the sea creatures was spoken in a calm tone, yet it determined the fate of countless sea creatures:
"As for the matter of completely suppressing, integrating, and killing all remaining races in the True Dragon Sea, it shall be decided by the clan elders."
"If the clan elders disagree and the dispute remains unresolved..."
The final decision will be based on the opinion of the elder clan leader; you must obey his orders without fail.
This decree not only granted power to the clan elders' council, but also established the absolute authority of the senior clan elders.
As these messages, each imbued with immense meaning, were transmitted...
The subtle rhythm that had permeated the hall quietly faded away.
Followed by.
Sha Minghong's immense divine sense surged forth like a tide, enveloping the innate qi and earth's turbid energy suspended before him.
next moment,
His figure swayed slightly, along with that dazzling radiance...
They also disappeared into the empty, cold throne room.
This palace deep in the sea has once again fallen into an eternal, deathly silence.
It was as if the series of events that had just determined the fate of billions of sea creatures were nothing but a dream.
Only the dark, blood-red light that enveloped the main hall, like congealed blood, flowed silently among the broken walls and ruins of this shattered seabed, illuminating the cold seawater and the broken palace buildings.
the other side.
Just as Shark Minghong was issuing the imperial decree...
All the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan elders who were carrying out the pursuit order, regardless of where they were in the True Dragon Sea, were shaken to their core.
At the same time, he received that message that originated from the depths of his bloodline and carried supreme majesty.
The message was brief and cold, and it came from their patriarch—
Shark Minghong.
Almost without hesitation, all the elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, who were frantically pursuing the alliance led by the remnants of the Xuan Turtle Clan, stopped their fighting instantly, as if bound by invisible reins.
The terrifying demonic power that stretched across the deep sea suddenly subsided, and the overwhelming malevolent aura was momentarily suffocated.
The reason is simple: the clan leader has clearly announced that he is going into seclusion!
These scattered and fleeing Alliance Half-Saints were already more numerous than the elders dispatched by the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan.
The reason they were able to recklessly hunt down their enemies before was because of the terrifying intimidation brought by the patriarch Shark Minghong's overwhelming and ferocious power, which made their opponents tremble with fear.
They showed absolutely no will to fight!
But now, the clan leader is in seclusion, and the biggest backer has temporarily "disappeared".
If they were to continue the pursuit, forcing those powerful individuals of the same level who had already escaped into complex sea areas or treacherous forbidden zones into a corner, they would fight like cornered beasts...
Even the elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan will inevitably pay a heavy price.
They might even be counterattacked and fall.
The shrewd Black Tiger Shark Clan would never engage in such a losing proposition.
Thus, after a brief but efficient exchange of opinions via the secret jade talisman, the elders reached a consensus:
Temporarily halt the pursuit and consolidate your forces.
Those Alliance Half-Saints who managed to escape were given a temporary reprieve, allowing them to lead their remaining troops into deeper, more secluded waters to lick their wounds.
Half a day later.
The ancestral land of the Xuan Turtle Clan lies in the dark sea about a thousand miles away, beyond the once glorious but now shattered ruins.
A faint, almost imperceptible stream of light silently pierced through the heavy water pressure and arrived in an instant.
As the light faded, a figure draped in a simple black robe was revealed.
His aura was completely contained, as if he had merged with the cold seawater around him. Only his eyes, which flashed with a sharp light when they opened and closed, revealed his unfathomable cultivation.
He was an elder of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan.
As time goes by...
call out!call out!call out!
One after another, streaks of light, some swift and some slow, broke through the water from different directions in the True Dragon Sea, all heading straight for this place.
With each ray of light that dissipated, a powerful figure with an imposing aura appeared.
They nodded slightly to each other as a greeting, and then stood quietly waiting in tacit agreement.
quickly,
All the semi-saint level elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan have gathered here.
There were more than a dozen of them.
They hovered in the dark seawater, emanating an invisible pressure that caused the ordinary sea beasts around them to flee in terror.
Even the flow of water seemed to have become stagnant.
Leading the group was the most senior clan elder, whose cultivation was closest to the threshold of becoming a demon lord.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes, which had seen through countless years of vicissitudes, calmly glancing ahead.
As far as the eye could see, there was the center of that sea area shrouded in a strange, crimson glow—
The core ancestral home of the Xuan Turtle Clan.
The outline of a majestic yet dilapidated palace was faintly visible in the blood-red halo, exuding a chilling silence.
The clan leader, Sha Minghong, was in seclusion deep within that palace.
The elder's gaze didn't linger for long. He slowly withdrew his eyes and focused them back on the group of elders before him. His voice, steady and carrying undeniable weight, broke the silence:
"Elders, now that the clan leader is in seclusion here, this place has become extremely significant."
He paused briefly, looked around at everyone, and continued:
"I propose that during the period when our clan unifies the True Dragon Sea, we establish this ancestral land of the Xuan Turtle Clan as our clan's temporary headquarters. What do you all think?"
With this remark,
Immediately, a rather impatient elder chimed in, his voice like muffled thunder:
"The elder is absolutely right!"
I agree!
While the clan leader's seclusion is undoubtedly a safe course of action, there's no guarantee that some reckless individuals might be lurking nearby, potentially causing trouble.
"Setting up headquarters here is perfect for protecting the Dharma, ensuring complete security!"
"I second that!" another elder said succinctly.
Then,
Another elder, known for his caution, added:
"I agree."
Moreover, this move has another advantage: if those fleeing remnants of the enemy are still determined to fight back, and secretly coordinate a counterattack, we, stationed here, can detect it immediately.
If the situation is urgent, the gates can be closed immediately; please let the clan leader decide!
"Haha, you've thought of everything!"
An elder next to him laughed and agreed.
"In that case, we should not delay."
Seeing that no one objected, the elder immediately made the decision.
"Immediately issue the order that all legions currently engaged in battle should converge on this location and assemble!"
"Can!"
"good!"
"As it should be!"
The elders all agreed, their voices echoing in the dark depths of the sea.
Soon,
This resolution, proposed by the clan elders and unanimously approved by all the elders, was transformed into numerous commands, which were transmitted to all parts of the True Dragon Sea through secret talismans.
The massive war machine of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan began to adjust its course, slowly converging the core of its power towards this shattered ancestral land.
A temporary, yet destined, terrifying base camp that would forever loom over the hearts of all races in the True Dragon Sea was thus established.
Next!
The elder of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan no longer hesitated. He slowly raised his hand, covered in fine scales and imbued with immense demonic power, palm facing upwards, and slightly flipped it over—
in an instant,
A strange spatial ripple spread out.
A small, exquisite palace model, its entire surface a dark gold color, appeared out of thin air in his palm.
Although the palace was small, its eaves and brackets were exquisitely detailed, exuding an aura of indestructibility and a powerful spatial force.
"go with!"
The elder uttered a single word and flicked his hand.
The miniature palace transformed into a streak of dark golden light and flew out of my hand!
The moment it left the elder's palm, a sudden change occurred!
Om-!
The Dark Gold Palace swelled in the wind, expanding wildly like an inflated balloon!
An indescribable, terrifying repulsive force erupted from its center...
The endless seawater around them roared deafeningly as it was violently pushed away in all directions by an irresistible force, forming a huge, temporarily waterless vacuum zone!
Boom! !
A dull, resounding roar echoed across the seabed, stirring up silt and sand that turned large areas of the ocean murky.
A few breaths later...
The turbulent currents subsided slightly, and the turbid waters settled.
The elders looked closely and saw a magnificent, dark golden palace, towering ten thousand feet high, sitting majestically on the seabed!
A faint glow flowed around the palace, forming an invisible barrier that firmly kept out billions of tons of seawater, while the interior remained a dry space of its own.
see,
The elder of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, who stood not far away and whose body was also shrouded in a faint demonic glow to isolate him from the seawater, revealed a satisfied expression on his face.
He gestured with his hand, then smiled at the group of elders beside him who were also looking on with surprise:
"Gentlemen, the temporary headquarters is now complete. Please follow me inside to discuss in detail the important task entrusted to us by our ancestor!"
Faced with the senior clan elder's politeness, the less senior clan elders quickly responded:
"Elder, you're too kind. Please go first!"
"good!
"Elder, in terms of seniority and cultivation, you are our elder. How can an elder defer to a junior?"
"exactly……"
Seeing this, the elder stroked his beard and smiled:
"Enough, enough, I can't argue with you."
"Then let's go in together!"
"please!"
"Elder, please!"
The elders, no longer suspended in the sea, transformed into streaks of light, passed through the invisible barrier, and entered the magnificent palace gates one after another.
Upon entering the palace, the pressure around me immediately eased.
In stark contrast to the oppressive and frigid atmosphere of the deep sea outside, the interior of the hall is spacious and bright, with fresh air and a pure spiritual aura.
The protective aura that automatically surged around the elders naturally subsided and dissipated as they no longer needed to repel the seawater.
Immediately,
Following the usual order of precedence during meetings, the clan elders took their seats in an orderly fashion on the dark jade thrones arranged in the spacious hall.
These jade thrones, though seemingly simple, are subtly connected to the overall atmosphere of the palace.
Sitting on it,
You can clearly feel the pulse of the earth beneath your feet and the immense power of the palace itself.
After all the elders were seated, the eldest elder, sitting in the head seat, surveyed the crowd with a dignified gaze. Seeing that there were no further disturbances, he spoke in a deep voice:
"Since this place has been designated as the temporary headquarters for the clan leader's protection and the overall expedition, a semi-saint level expert must be stationed here for a long time to ensure its safety."
Next, let's discuss who will be in charge of overseeing this place from now on.
Hearing this,
A brief silence fell over the hall, and all the elders wore thoughtful expressions.
After a while,
A shrewd-looking elder broke the silence first:
"The person in charge should indeed be chosen with caution."
In my opinion, to ensure fairness, how about we take turns presiding over the meeting?
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder next to him nodded and added:
"Taking turns to oversee things is a good idea!"
However, this is a crucial and important location, and the person in charge must be absolutely reliable.
Therefore, the rotation of command is limited to the elders of my Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan; half-Venerable cultivators from subordinate races are not permitted to participate.
"Of course!" the clan elder who had made the earlier suggestion immediately agreed.
"We must not allow foreign powers to interfere with our core power."
At this moment, another elder, with a calm expression and wise glint in his eyes, shook his head and said:
"Elder, I believe that having only one elder in charge is insufficient."
He paused, and seeing everyone's gaze upon him, continued his analysis:
"This place, as a temporary headquarters, will surely become the most important logistical base, rest and repair point, and resource transfer hub for our expeditionary alliance army in the future."
It is foreseeable that the number of cultivators of this race and its affiliated races who will reside in this sea area will be in the hundreds of thousands, or even exceed one million!
Trading, cultivation, resupply, scheduling... how complicated are these affairs?
We must also be constantly vigilant against external threats.
How can a single clan elder possibly manage both the overall situation and prepare for potential attacks?
In my opinion,
He raised his voice, making his point firmly.
"At least three clan elders are needed to maintain a permanent presence here!"
And it should be set as a fixed rule, called the 'guarding seat'.
As for other clan elders who temporarily return due to rotation or rest, their strength can serve as a supplement, but they are not included in the permanent garrison positions.
What do you all think?
This well-considered suggestion was immediately accepted by most of the clan elders.
"Yes! That makes sense!"
"I think this proposal is very appropriate. Only by cooperating with each other can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Seconded!"
"..."
Seeing that most people agreed with the proposal, another elder raised a new key question:
"Since there are three permanent seats, how often would it be appropriate to rotate these seats?"
An elder, skilled in strategizing, stroked his long beard and pondered:
"To completely control and integrate the True Dragon Sea, it would take hundreds of years to achieve the goal."
Therefore, the garrison period should not be too short, otherwise frequent handovers will easily lead to chaos;
However, it should not be too long, so as not to delay the clan elders from gaining military merits and training themselves.
A ten-year cycle is too short, while a hundred-year cycle seems too long.
I believe that a rotation period of fifty years is more appropriate.
"Can!"
"I second that proposal."
Fifty years will not significantly impact the war effort.
Another elder added thoughtfully:
"Moreover, judging from the clan leader's resolute attitude in this seclusion, he is unlikely to emerge from seclusion anytime soon."
otherwise,
He wouldn't have gone into seclusion so hastily after just defeating the Xuan Turtle Clan Alliance.
This means that for a considerable period of time to come, we can no longer expect the clan leader to take action to intimidate the surrounding area.
Everything depends on ourselves. We must act prudently and strive to quell the conflict with minimal cost!
This is the only way to avoid significant losses.
"It won't jeopardize the foundation of our clan's unification of the True Dragon Sea."
"···"
