Chapter 458 456: The Greats Journey to the Night Sea

The Night Sea has cleared. This news spread out from Fengdu City at lightning speed, then to the Great Teaching Territories of the Netherworld. In just a few dozen days, the news had spread throughout the entire Ghost Sacred Realm.

This news was simply too shocking. Some experts even went so far as to open Daoist Doors, crossing wastelands to deliver the news to their own sects at the fastest possible speed.

In fact, many Sect Leaders and Emperors of the Great Teaching Territories were shocked by this news. They didn't hesitate to alarm the Elders within their clans and sects, passing this world-shaking news on to them.

Even some of the Old Undyings, Great Sect Ancestors, and even legendary experts hiding in Time Blood Stones buried underground were shocked by this news.

"The Night Sea has cleared?" Hearing such news, even the Great Sect Ancestors, not to mention the legendary experts, had their expressions change drastically, shaken to the core.

"For as long as records exist, the Night Sea has always been as black as ink. It has always been an Evil Land, a place that could even claim the lives of Great Sages. What could have caused the Night Sea to clear overnight! What could make it so people no longer drown in it overnight?" For a time, the Old Undyings hiding underground were all stirred. Some Great Sect Ancestors even went so far as to emerge from their seals to investigate.

At this time, countless speculations spread everywhere. All sorts of rumors arose, with every kind of theory imaginable. Many people even believed the heavens themselves were about to change.

This speculation was not without reason. Not long ago, the sky had suddenly darkened, and the Lost Divine Island that appeared also vanished! Now, the Night Sea had cleared overnight. For such world-shaking events to happen one after another, it was likely not a coincidence.

It was precisely for this reason that it led many to let their imaginations run wild. Even the Great Sect Ancestors felt that something big was happening.

"Could the First Evil Tomb be about to open?" Upon hearing the news of the Night Sea clearing overnight, a Great Sect Ancestor couldn't help but speculate, "Could it be that in this generation, someone will surely find the key to the First Evil Tomb!"

In fact, this conjecture wasn't limited to just one or two people. Many Old Undyings and Great Sect Ancestors realized the First Evil Tomb might be opening.

With this speculation, countless Great Teaching Territories were suddenly eager to make a move! They even immediately dispatched large numbers of young disciples to Fengdu City.

That such a thing would happen was not surprising. The First Evil Tomb was full of temptation for anyone, and even the world-weary Old Undyings and Great Sect Ancestors could not resist its allure.

If one could enter the First Evil Tomb, great Creations would be waiting. Who wouldn't want a legendary fortuitous encounter? What made people drool even more was the legend that an Immortal Technique for undying was buried within the First Evil Tomb. When it came to being undying, no matter how powerful a figure, none could sit still. This was especially true for the dying, near-death Great Sect Ancestors in their twilight years. They were even more restless, desperate to obtain the Immortal Technique. If they possessed the Immortal Technique, they could escape death!

To be undying—this was something any cultivator, any person, even an Immortal Emperor, would covet and be moved by!

In a short period of time, many young cultivators from the Netherworld entered Fengdu City. Following them, the younger generation of cultivators from wastelands like Shuicang, Yao Yun, and Ze Di also appeared.

On the very second day after the Night Sea cleared, someone discovered a whirlpool in it. This whirlpool led straight underground. When someone ventured into it, they discovered that beneath the Night Sea, there was actually another enormous ocean, a vast sea.

"This is a Great Secret Realm, a Great Secret Realm that has never been discovered before!" When someone reached the vast sea underground, they were stunned by the sight.

At this time, people began to cross this vast sea, wanting to reach its Other Shore, to see what lay on the far side of this underground ocean.

The discovery in the Night Sea was also quickly spread. That there was a Secret Realm under the Night Sea, and a Great Secret Realm that had never been discovered at that, how could this not be shocking?

"Could it be that Fengdu City's Mountain Treasure is about to emerge!" When they heard that a Secret Realm had been discovered beneath the Night Sea, some Great Sect Ancestors thought of a legend.

Fengdu City had always been a Treasure Hunting Paradise for the younger generation of cultivators. Many young cultivators had found numerous treasures in Fengdu City, and some had even found incredible things.

For millions of years, legends have said that Fengdu City holds World-shocking Treasures, Supreme Divine Artifacts, and even an incomparably mysterious Mountain Treasure. And indeed, people have found World-shocking Treasures and Supreme Divine Artifacts.

The most famous among them was the Giant Sky Immortal Emperor. In his youth, the Giant Sky Immortal Emperor had obtained an unrivaled treasure from the Ghost River. It was precisely because of this treasure that he set foot on the path to invincibility.

This matter was well-known to later generations and was celebrated through the ages. It was precisely because of an encounter like the Giant Sky Immortal Emperor's that countless people in later generations yearned to hunt for treasure in Fengdu City.

Fengdu City indeed had heaven-shaking treasures and Supreme Divine Artifacts; this was no mere rumor. However, as for the legendary Mountain Treasure of Fengdu City, that had always been a mystery.

A long, long time ago, legends spoke of a Mountain Treasure in Fengdu City. As for what this Mountain Treasure was like or what its name was, no one ever knew. However, there were rumors that this Mountain Treasure could slay gods, and some even believed it could seal any expert in the world.

In short, the rumors about this Mountain Treasure were endlessly embellished, but no one had ever seen it. Even an Immortal Emperor once personally descended upon Fengdu City to seek this treasure, but failed to find it.

Precisely because no one had ever seen Fengdu City's legendary Mountain Treasure, later generations developed two schools of thought. One was that Fengdu City simply had no Mountain Treasure, and it was all just a rumor. The other was that Fengdu City did indeed have a Mountain Treasure, and that this treasure was related to the Immortal Technique.

The latter theory also had some support, because legend has it that the Earth Fool Immortal Emperor returned to Fengdu City in his later years to search for the Mountain Treasure. For this reason, many believed that Fengdu City's Mountain Treasure was related to the Longevity Immortality Technique.

Now, the Night Sea had cleared overnight, and a Great Secret Realm had been discovered beneath it. This led people to make a connection. For millions of years, no one had ever seen Fengdu City's Mountain Treasure, and now a previously undiscovered Great Secret Realm was found under the Night Sea. This made people think that the legendary Mountain Treasure was very likely inside this Secret Realm.

With this speculation, the countless Great Teaching Territories of the Ghost Sacred Realm frantically sent their young disciples to Fengdu City. At this moment, whether for the key to the First Evil Tomb or for the legendary Mountain Treasure, it was worth the risk for any Great Teaching Territory.

Because of this, in just a dozen or so days, disciples and successors from all the great Great Teaching Territories appeared in Fengdu City, many of whom were renowned geniuses.

In a short time, Fengdu City became incredibly lively. Countless young cultivators swarmed into the city. Even the successors of the various Great Teaching Territories did not hesitate to risk entering Fengdu City.

Among the younger generation of cultivators entering Fengdu City, there were some particularly eye-catching experts.

For example, the Ghost Monk was one. With the sound of a Buddhist chant, a monk was seen arriving, treading on the air. When this monk appeared in Fengdu City, Buddhist hymns echoed all around, as if many Buddhas were descending. However, unlike the typical scene of Buddhas descending, when this monk appeared, the originally peaceful and holy aura of a Buddha Saint became somewhat sinister, as if Yin Buddhas were descending upon the world.

The aura emanating from this monk was cold, holy, and incredibly bizarre. He himself seemed to have transformed into a Yin Buddha, making others wary.

"The Young Master of the Ghost Zen Clan, the Ghost Monk, is here too." Seeing this monk arrive, many of the younger cultivators backed away, their expressions changing as they spoke.

The Ghost Zen Clan was a major clan from Shuicang and a powerful branch of the Ghost Race. The people of this clan were born with bald heads and ordination scars, so they were destined to become monks from birth!

The Ghost Monk was the successor of the Ghost Zen Clan. He was a renowned genius from Xishuicang. It was rumored that he had obtained the supreme secret of the Zen Dao, and his future was limitless.

"It's no surprise that the Ghost Monk came. Even the Hundred Schools' Sons is here," a young cultivator said.

"The Hundred Schools' Sons is here too? Is that the genius who is rumored to be able to achieve Divine Kinghood?" Hearing this news, many were moved.

Many of the younger generation who came to Fengdu City were successors of Great Teaching Territories, and there was no shortage of geniuses among them. However, compared to a prominent figure like the Ghost Monk, these geniuses paled in comparison!

In Xishuicang, the Hundred Schools' Sons and the Ghost Monk were equally famous geniuses. They were once called the two great masters of Shuicang, and few in the younger generation could match them!

The Hundred Schools' Sons came from the All Gods Country. This great nation, which claimed to have produced eight Divine Kings, was one to be feared. The Hundred Schools' Sons was also highly regarded by the elders of the All Gods Country, who believed he would surely achieve Divine Kinghood.

"I have arrived—" When another person appeared, it was even more shocking. On this day, a giant foot was seen descending from the sky, stepping into the Night Sea. When this giant foot entered the Night Sea, the water barely covered the top of it.

When the giant foot retracted, everyone finally saw a short young man standing above the Night Sea. This young man was only half the height of an ordinary person, but no one dared to look down on him because of his stature.

Although the young man was short, his muscles bulged all over his body, which seemed to be overflowing with power. His hands looked as if they could tear anything apart, even rip apart dragons and tigers with his bare hands. His eyes, in particular, flickered with Divine Flames. When the Divine Flames intertwined to form a Law, the terrifying Power of the Great Dao howled like a monstrous wave, making one's heart pound in fear just by looking.
