The edge of the southern sea domain of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, approximately ten nautical miles, led by four Immortal Lord realm elders of the Purple Thunder Sect, ten divine-grade immortal treasure warships, after several spatial traversals, finally arrived in the sea domain of the Nine Realms.
"After more than a month, we've finally reached the Nine Realms!"
On a warship, the elder looked at the sea domain ahead and smiled slightly, saying, "From this direction, heading north for about half a month, if we initiate a few more spatial traversals, it will only take seven days to reach the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty!"
"Indeed, the Immortal Dynasty that once produced the Southern Heaven Immortal Emperor has now mysteriously fallen within the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor's secret treasure. I heard that the current power controlling the Nine Realms is a force called the Great Han Immortal Dynasty," a woman beside him said softly.
"If that's the case, then the four of us don't need to bother. Let's just head straight north. The Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty is gone, without the suppression of imperial-grade immortal treasures, there's no need to take a detour," said a short, ugly man.
"Hehehehe!"
A man in a black long robe, with a piece of white cloth covering his eyes, walked onto the deck.
"What? Blind fool, are you mocking me?" The short man's face contorted with anger.
"How dare I, how dare I!" the blind fool said, walking up to the three, the faint sea breeze blowing against his face.
"I was just thinking that when we go there, there might be more trouble. Don't forget, Princess Taoyun of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty also perished there. Perhaps while the four of us are heading to the Nine Realms, the army of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty will also arrive and land!"
"What are you afraid of!"
"It's just an Immortal Dynasty power with an Immortal King at its helm. Does our Purple Thunder Sect fear them?" the short man slammed the armrest fiercely.
"Short Finger Tiger, you are presumptuous!" The elder turned his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over Short Finger Tiger, a hint of killing intent unashamedly revealed. At this moment, the other two also tensed up.
"Yes!" Short Finger Tiger bowed. Although they were all at the Immortal Lord realm and elders of the Purple Thunder Sect, the elder before him was of the same generation as the Sect Master of the Purple Thunder Sect, being the Sect Master's junior disciple.
"Although our Purple Thunder Sect is affiliated with the Ancient Sacred Court, there are four major powers that submit to the Ancient Sacred Court: the Profound Saint Immortal Dynasty, the Scarlet Sun Sect, and especially the Flying Immortal Gate, which possesses imperial-grade immortal treasures. None of them are weaker than our Purple Thunder Sect."
"In order to gain more say within the Sacred Court, and to earn the support and trust of the Ancient Sacred Emperor, the Sect Master agreed to the conditions of Emperor Venerable Great Yu. Although the Emperor's corpse was not successfully obtained, we don't need to lose everything for a mere region. Don't forget what the Sect Master told us before the four of us came. If the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's attitude is strong, we can only retreat!" the elder said with a worried expression.
"Elder, we have entered the sea domain of the Nine Realms!"
Suddenly, a disciple shouted.
"Strange! Strange!"
At this moment, from the four Immortal Lord elders to the disciples, everyone was incredulous, their pupils wide with shock as they stared at the sea ahead.
Different!
There was no curse. The divine-grade immortal treasure warships entered this sea domain without any pressure. Short Finger Tiger, to test it, even leaped into the air and dashed across the sea.
"Stop!"
The elder's face suddenly changed. This was an unprecedented event. Such a change in the World Sea, could it be that there was a great terror residing within the Nine Realms? At this moment, all the beings of the Purple Thunder Sect recalled the sudden suppression that occurred a few days ago. It was too terrifying, as if they could be annihilated at any moment.
It was not just the Purple Thunder Sect. In the northern sea domain of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, the four Immortal Lord generals leading the army also stopped on the sea, motionless.
The terrifying changes of those few days, even their Emperor Venerable, a powerful Immortal King, was instantly suppressed to his knees, respectfully bowing to the mighty will above the firmament.
"Pass down the order, cease advancement!"
The leading general raised his palm. The sea domain before him, free of curses, the calm sea, appeared to him as a place of immense terror, unfathomable!
"G-General..." a deputy general stammered.
At this moment, the armies of the Purple Thunder Sect and the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty all stopped at the edge of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's sea domain, even retreating a few miles, stopping at a distance, cautiously observing this sea.
Strange!
It was truly strange!
Even an Ancient Immortal Emperor, a dignified Immortal Emperor, could not erase this curse. Yet, in the near-sea region of the Nine Realms, the curse had disappeared...
Half an hour later, as the armies of the Purple Thunder Sect and the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty were cautiously observing, a peerless immortal treasure warship controlled by Fang Xuanling and Qi Jiguang appeared within the Purple Thunder Sect's sight.
Not long after, warships controlled by Fa Zheng and Li Bai slowly advanced towards the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's army.
"Who is ahead!"
Short Finger Tiger's face suddenly changed, and he shouted.
"Is that the army of the Purple Thunder Sect ahead?" Fang Xuanling stood at the bow of the ship, smiling as he looked forward. Beside him, Qi Jiguang, clad in armor, had one hand on his waist sword, looking mighty and imposing.
"Yes!" the elder said softly, his eyes constantly scanning the sea, fearing that something terrible might happen.
"Fang Xuanling of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty greets all of you!"
"Everyone, I am here on the orders of the Emperor Venerable to inform you that an anomaly has occurred on Dragon Burial Island. A few days ago, some beings witnessed a being descend and suppress the ancient land. Countless beings bowed in submission, and in a single breath, the entire island of Dragon Burial Island sank!" Fang Xuanling said slowly with a solemn expression.
"What?"
"What did you say? Dragon Burial Island was destroyed?" The four elders were shocked. That was a place with prohibitions set by the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor and countless powerful beings. How could it be shattered in one blow!
"Don't you all see? Even the Great Dao's curse has been suppressed in this sea domain before you. What do you think the realm of that being is? I advise you all, the path ahead is extremely perilous. Do not let a moment of impulsiveness lead to the annihilation of your clans!"
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he took Qi Jiguang and headed northwest, far away from the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's sea domain.
"Elder!"
All the beings looked at the elder. The elder frowned, staring at the curse-free sea domain. After pondering, he said, "Retreat!"
With a single word, all the disciples of the Purple Thunder Sect sighed in relief. It was too terrifying. Even the curse could be suppressed. How powerful must that be!
On the other side, Fa Zheng and Li Bai also intercepted the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's army. With just a few words, they completely subdued the four Immortal Lord generals. Looking at the curse-free sea domain, they were filled with dread.
