Chapter 515. Why The East Sea (1/2)
There is a mysterious place in the void in planet Tian Yun’s vicinity.
From a distance, this just looks like a place where a lot of floating objects have gathered, an endless sea of floating objects.
There are only two colors here: green and red. All of the floating things here are these two colors.
Every 5,000 years, this sea of floating stuff emits a mysterious power, and a lot of mysterious things are absorbed into this sea by this power.
Among these mysterious things are corpses and treasures. Anything and everything can be absorbed.
This place is like a giant treasure trove that only absorbs and never emits. If you want the treasures, you must go inside!
No one knows how this place was formed. Rumor has it that when planet Tian Yun came to be, this place had already existed for a long time.
Some people say that this place was a palace of a powerful celestial general. Later, when the Celestial Realm collapsed, it was somehow impacted and turned into ruins. However, this ruin that everyone sees is only a state created by a powerful spell. If one is fortunate enough to go inside, they can definitely recover the celestial palace.
There are even rumors that this place is a tunnel that links to another space. Maybe people can find a passage to the realm beyond the Celestial Realm here.
Overall, there are countless rumors about this place, and every one of these rumors are filled with confidence as if they have some definitive facts.
This sea of unknown origin is on the eastern side of planet Tian Yun, so after a long time, it was referred to as the East Sea!
Back when the All-Seer first completed his dao, he invited several friends, including Sword Saint Ling Tianhou before their relationship broke down, and explored this place three times!
The first two times they came back empty-handed, but on the third time, only half of the people that went returned!
It was also after that time that Sword Saint Ling Tianhou’s and the All-Seer’s friendship broke apart. Even until now, they have never talked about what happened on that third expedition.
However, after that time, the All-Seer said one thing!
“There is an ancient demon inside there. From today onward, this place belongs to my planet Tian Tun, and this place will be called the gate to the East Demon Spirit Sea!”
The words “ancient demon” spread during that time and were remembered by countless people.
Even someone from the Cultivation Alliance came to check the East Demon Spirit Sea. However, in regards to letting outsiders enter the East Demon Spirit Sea, the All-Seer, Ling Tianhou, and all the other old monsters around had a rare, uniform opinion about it.
They would never allow anyone from the outside to enter. This place was the forbidden area of planet Tian Yun!
After the situation stayed like this for a very long time, this East Demon Spirit Sea just naturally became a forbidden area that belonged to planet Tian Yun.
There aren’t many mysterious places like the East Demon Spirit Sea, but they aren’t very rare either. The Cultivation Alliance doesn’t want to have a bad relationship with the cultivators of planet Tian Yun over such a place, because for them, it is not worth it.
The opening of the East Demon Spirit Sea every 5,000 years is a big event for planet Tian Yun. At the moment it opens, there will be a tide phase that lasts for several months!
The tide phase is when the mysterious power from within the East Demon Spirit Sea spreads out across a very large area. As long as the cultivators are there, they can see that countless treasures, countless spells, countless corpses of demonic beasts, and countless strange things are pulled and absorbed into the East Demon Spirit Sea.
Every time it opens, all the old monsters around Tian Yun send in their disciples. Although it is very dangerous, it only opens once every 5,000 years. It is too good of an opportunity to miss, so might as well risk it!
Every time the gate to the East Demon Spirit Sea opens, a large amount of people enter. On the lower end, there are a few hundred, but on the upper end, there are more than 1,000. The weakest are at the Soul Transformation stage, while the strongest are people who have touched the Yin and Yang stage.
That is the highest cultivation level allowed, because planet Tian Yun has a very strict requirement on people who can enter. Anyone above the Ascendant stage is definitely not allowed to enter.
After all, this place is used for training everyone’s disciples. Even when it is open, it is only half open so they won’t all die inside.
However, nothing is absolute, and everything depends on what gets sucked in during the tide phase. If there was something so heaven defying that it would even tempt these old monsters, then the East Demon Spirit Sea would become very lively.
